I Need You Tonight

Chapter 46

Now A Whole Lot of Planning and Praying

Natalie walked into the Bridgestone and seen Nikki and Allie.

"Hey you two. Allie, princess: how are you?" Natalie said taking the little baby's hand in hers.

"So what's going on?" Nikki responded curiously.

"Umm, I'm getting a divorce." Natalie said quietly.

"You're what?"

"Paul and I are getting a divorce!" Natalie exclaimed.

"OMG! Nat, this is SO great. When are you going to tell Randy?"

"I was hoping soon. I'm just so happy I had the guts to divorce him."

"Did y'all have a pre-nup?"

"Yeah, it just says I get everything that I bought and I leave him alone. That's not that hard. He's having his lawyer look at it tomorrow."

"I'm so glad you finally stuck up for yourself."

"I just can't let Randy marry someone other than me. I love that man way too much! I just can't wait to tell him."

"I'm very happy for you. So when are you going to tell the Orton?"

"I was hoping soon; maybe before rehearsal or after it."

"Yeah, that's a good idea."

"Yeah. I'm just so…so happy. It's like I have been trapped for six years and now I'm free, and I can finally be with the man I love and after a long wait, I can be happy again."

--the next day--

Paul's lawyer called Natalie and arranged a meeting at 2 p.m. Natalie hoped that she would have enough time to get from the meeting to her house and then to meet Randy at his hotel room at 8 p.m. Due to insider information, a.k.a Dave and Nikki, since Dave was in the wedding party, all the guys were having a last night bachelor party for Randy. Natalie hoped that she could get to him before that.

She was now meeting with Nikki for breakfast.

"Natalie, I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but wonder if he doesn't love you anymore and marries Stacy?"

"I'll commit suicide. Nah, I don't know. It was really only me that would have blown it, it's completely up to him now, I guess. I really never thought about that, I just hope that he wants to be with me still."

"Yeah, I guess you're right. When is the divorce going to be final?"

"In 2 months, I guess. I have a meeting with the lawyer this afternoon."

"I hope that goes good."

"Me too."

---at the lawyer's office--

"Hi Mrs. Leveseque, I'm Thad Kipe, your husband, I guess soon to be ex husband's lawyer. It's nice to meet you."

"Nice meeting you too."

"I talked to your lawyer and discussed the pre-nuptial agreement. And as it states, you are entitled to everything that is yours, that would be everything but the house, cars, and everything inside the house (I.e. like furniture and things)."

"Yeah, I knew that already."

"Well it seems to me that you and Paul really never talked about the divorce."

"No, I threw it on him. I don't love him anymore, I haven't loved him in a long time. Neither of us deserve to be in a loveless relationship."

"Oh, I completely agree. Well, if you signed this dotted line, I will make a small-profile court date and you will be on your way."

Natalie quickly signed the documents, and swiftly headed back to the hotel to meet Randy.

--8 p.m.--

Randy had just walked into his hotel room. Believe you me, he was tired and really didn't feel like being up to party, but his friends could throw one hell of a party. He took a quick shower, and then started getting dressed when he heard a knock at the door. He swiftly threw a shirt on and answered it and was surprised that it was Natalie.

"Hey Shorty. What's up? Come in." Randy said scooting in so she could come in.

"Umm, I need to talk to you, it's kind of serious."

"Oh, what is it?"

"Umm, Paul and I are getting a divorce."

"When did this happen?"

"A couple days ago." Natalie said getting up.

"Oh."

"Randy, I realized I was just lying to myself when I said I was getting over you. I don't think I could ever get over you. I want to be with you, you're everything to me. I love you more than I ever thought that I could ever love anyone."

"Is this just because I'm getting married?"

"No. I just realized that I am never going to stop being in love with you."

"When's the divorce going to be final?"

"Two months from Tuesday."

"I really don't know what to say."

"I mean Randy, if you want to walk down the aisle with Stacy tomorrow, go right ahead. I mean, it will kill me. But just as long as you're happy, I'm going to be happy for you."

"This is the hardest decision I'll ever have to make." Randy said putting his head in his hands.

"I'm so sorry for everything that I put you through."

"Natalie, I just can't be with you anymore. Stacy's proved to me that she loves me, and that she wants to marry me."

"Fine, Randy. But if you change your mind, you know where to find me."

"I'm sorry, Natalie."

"It's fine. See you later Randy." Natalie said walking out of the door.
