"Mark I don't understand why you want to go out to dinner just you and me" Alexis said as she and Mark made their way out of the hotel "and I don't understand why you're not dressed up like I am. You were the one who told me we were going to a nice place".
"We are" Mark said mysteriously, making Alexis question his sanity.
"Dude I can't explain to you how much I appreciate what your doing for me" Randy said as he talked to the person that was helping him with his plan to get Alexis back.
"No problem mate" the person said as he helped Randy put the decorations up around the area. Randy had told Mark to be there at midnight and it was almost 11:45, they needed to hurry. "Anything for a person like Alexis, I have a feeling that this situation is special and I can't just let it go".
"You're the greatest" Randy said looking at the guy in awe "no wonder Alexis likes you so much".
"Mark its the garden of the hotel, not the restaurant" Alexis said as Mark lead her out to where he knew Randy had things set up.
"Honey hush" Mark told her gently "I know what I'm doing". He lead her to the exact spot and Alexis gasped at the beauty. There was a table in the middle of the area set up with a white table cloth and a bowl filled with water holding a floating candle sitting in the middle of it. Two chairs were sitting on each side. The area around the table had white ribbons strung up and special holders were holding candles that gave off a soft light to combat the darkness of the night. A small stage was set up and Alexis briefly wondered what it was for. She turned to ask Mark but noticed he was gone.
"Mark" she called out, wondering where he had went.
"Alexis" a voice whispered her name softly. She turned toward it and saw Randy standing there. He had on a tux and his hair was slicked back, in his hands were a dozen white and red roses. He stepped tentatively up to her "I have a confession, you aren't spending the night dining with Mark, you're dining with me".
"What?" Alexis gasped out in shock, before getting mad "oh so its not enough that you belittle me in front of your little friends, you want to make me suffer by sitting through a dinner with you while you do more of the same". She started to walk off but Randy grabbed her arm gently.
"It's not like that I promise" Alexis was shocked to see sincerity in his eyes "I wanted to impress you tonight so that you'd maybe take me back, I mean I know I don't really deserve it with how I treated you and all but I wanted to at least try".
"So what?" Alexis asked tentatively "we just sit and talk".
"Well no" Randy said, smiling faintly "I have a surprise". He turned toward the stage and she did too. Alexis gasped as her favorite singer, Keith Urban came onto the stage. He walked up and sat down on a stool, picking up a guitar.
"Alexis" he spoke in his cool Austrailian accent "this song is from Randy to you". Alexis recognized the song to be one of her favorites. Randy gathered her attention as the song began.
"May I have this dance?" he asked her. She nodded and Randy took her hand, leading the two of them to the dance floor. SONG BELONGS TO KEITH URBAN DONT REPORT ME
I'm gonna be here for you baby I'll be a man of my word Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard I wanna sleep with you forever And I wanna die in your arms In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
Alexis looked up into Randy's bright blue eyes and saw love and caring that she couldn't help but mirror back to him in her own. She had her hands wrapped around his neck and she could smell his light cologne, making her weak in the knees. She couldn't believe he had went through all that he had just for her. She had thought that he had turned into a complete jackass, but apparently she was wrong. She knew in her heart that she forgave him, it was too hard for her not to.
I wanna honor your mother I wanna learn from your pa I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw I wanna stand out in a crowd for you A man among men I wanna make your world better than it's ever been
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
Randy couldn't believe how incredibly happy he felt at that moment. He had his girl in his arms, to him the world couldn't be more right. As they glided around the dance floor Randy couldn't help the thoughts that he had 'I hope this moment never ends'.
We'll follow the rainbow Wherever the four winds blow And there'll be a new day Comin' your way
I'm gonna be here for you from now on This you know somehow You've been stretched to the limits but it's alright now And I'm gonna make you a promise If there's life after this I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss
"Randy I love you" Alexis said, not being able to hold back anymore. All of the things they had been through together came flooding back and she knew that Randy was it for her, he was the love of her life just like the song had said.
"I love you too" he said before kissing her lips "and I promise I will never act like I have these past few days again. I'm sorry I put you through what I did and I hope that you'll forgive me completely and let me show you how much I love you and cherish having you in my life".
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you And I'll earn your trust making memories of us I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you And I'll win your trust making memories of us.
"I will Randy" Alexis told him, bringing his head down in a searing kiss that left them both breathless.
"I have one more surprise for you" Randy said when he had pulled back from his kiss with Alexis. He pulled her over to the table and sat her down before walking up to the stage. He thanked Keith and Keith left, leaving Randy all alone. Randy started a small boom box and stepped up to the mic. Alexis recognized the music instantly and tears came to her eyes. SONG CREDIT TO SOMEONE I DUNNO DONT REPORT ME
Ocean's apart Day after day And I slowly go insane I hear your voice On the line But it doesn't stop the pain If I see you next to never How can we say forever?
Wherever you go Whatever you do I will be right here waiting for you Whatever it takes Oh, how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you
Alexis couldn't help but cry as she felt the emotion from Randy's singing. He wasn't the best singer in the world but the meaning and passion behind his performance was enough to touch her heart deeply.
I took for granted All the times That I thought it would last somehow I hear the laughter I tasted the tears But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby? You've got me going crazy
I wonder how We can survive This romance But in the end if I'm with you I'll take the chance
Randy stepped off the stage, mic in hand, and came over to Alexis, kneeling in front of her. He took her hand in his free one as he sang the rest of the song.
Oh, can't you see it baby? You've got me going crazy
Wherever you go Whatever you do I will be right here waiting for you Whatever it takes Oh, how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you
"Let's go back to our room" Randy told Alexis as he finished the song. He stood up and helped her up too. He noticed that she was shivering and removed his coat, putting it on her bare shoulders.
"What about the kids?" she asked him as they made their way back into the hotel.
"They'll be ok with Aunt Trish and Uncle John" Randy told her before sweeping her up in his arms and carrying her the rest of the way to the hotel where they spent the next few hours making love to each other.
Better chap than the last two I think and things are finally back to normal TG
