Chapter 15
The days seemed to pass by slowly after her lunch with Randy she couldn't wait for Friday to get here, yet she wasn't sure why she was so anxious for Friday it's not like they were a couple or that she even liked him like that, they were friends and nothing more. Although when she passed him in the halls of the hotel or in the arena her stomach did a little flip flop thing, oh that's just the morning sickness trying to sneak up on me.
And keeping the baby a secret from Dave while they shared a room was easier then she thought it would be, she got up earlier then Dave in the morning and the rest of the days were spent running from here to there grabbing little bites to eat during car rides. Although she did have to admit she felt guilty lying to Dave about the baby, he would ask her if she was okay or if she needed anything many times through out the day, it made her heart ache seeing how much he cared for her.
Looking down at her watch she noted the time, I have twenty minutes before I told Randy I would meet him at his room. Rae stood from the chair and handed Dave the TV remote then walked back into the bathroom. She fixed her make-up and ran a brush through her hair then stepped back out into the entertainment area and picked up her purse.
"I'm not sure when I'll be back I told Randy that I'd meet him tonight so we could do a movie night like we used to." Rae told Dave as she walked towards the door.
Dave looked up shocked. She's going to spend the night with another man and Randy of all the guys. "When did you two ever do movie nights?"
"When you would spend the night talking to Mel." Rae waved and walked out the door.
"I can't believe this she's moving on." Dave put the remote down. "Well I guess I can't expect her to pine after me for the rest of her life I did after all go back to Mel." Dave left out a breath.
Rae stood out in front of Randy's hotel suite she raised her hand to knock but the door flew open and there stood Randy dressed a track pants no shirt and a smile. Rae could help but stare at his bare six packed abs, his skin was damp he had no doubt just got out of the shower. Just picture the water raining down over that toned body. Shaking her head Rae smiled and stepped in the room. I have got to control these hormones. Randy shut the door behind her and placed a hand on the small of her back leading her a little further into the suite. Oh God if he doesn't move his hand I'm going to push him up against that wall and…
"Let me grab a shirt and we can take off, there's a video store down the street. If you don't mind I thought maybe we could walk to the store grab a couple movies and popcorn then come back here and hang out." Rea nodded her head. Randy gave her a smile then walked over to the bed picking up his shirt and slipping it over his head and over his body. "Well then let's go."
"So Rae what did you have in mind to watch tonight?" Randy asked as they walked up and down the aisle in the video store looking over the assortment of movies.
"Umm…maybe something scary." Rae picked up an old horror movie, after reading the back she put it back then walked down another aisle. "Oh no I have the perfect movie." Rae smiled as she picked up a movie and turned around to face Randy holding it in front of her.
"I don't think so. Rae I'm not going to sit and watch that." Randy refused when he saw her hold Marilyn Monroe's How to Marry a Millionaire.
"Oh come on Randy it's a really good movie, yeah it's an old movie but it's still good." Rae lowered the movie and stuck out her bottom her lip. "If you don't let me get this movie I'm going to pout and whine the whole time we are together tonight."
Not the pouty look she knows she gets whatever she wants with that look. Randy shook his head and took the movie from her.
"Fine I'll watch this one but you have to watch this." Randy said as he pulled a movie out from behind his back.
"Then you have to try sushi tonight." Randy said hoping that she would change her mind after he said that.
Rae thought for a second with a disgusted look of her face. "Okay I'll try it but if I don't like then that's it I'm not eating anymore."
"Damn I was hoping you would put the movie back." Rae laughed as they started toward the check out line.
When they got back to the hotel they sat on the couch and began the movie, Randy handed her the pasta she order then sat back against the couch with his sushi. He took a bite then held one out I front of Rae, Rae looked up at him as she took a bite of her pasta then turned her head.
"Oh you can't be serious Randy that stuff is gross." Rae scrunched up her nose.
"Oh no I have to sit through this movie and then you have to at least try it." Randy held it back up in front of her. "Come on I promise just one bite and I'll shut up and watch this movie with you." Rae shook her head. "Oh come on I promise it's not that bad, please just take a little bite." Rae shook her head again then Randy stuck out his bottom lip and gave her a pouty look. Rae looked at him for a second, Does he realize just how fucking sexy he is when he does that. Rae smiled then leaned forward and took the bite that Randy held in front of her in her mouth and chewed then swallowed, slowly she opened her eyes and looked up at Randy's grinning face. "So what do you think?"
"You were it's not that bad, not something that I would eat on a daily basis or even a weekly basis but it's not that bad." Rae confessed.
"I told you." Randy smirked then sat back in the couch.
When the movie ended Randy looked down at Rae's sleeping form lying on the couch with her head in his lap. He picked up the remote and turned the TV off then lifted her head from his lap and stood from the couch, he walked back to the bed and pulled the covers down and walked back to Rae. Gently he lifted her from the couch and in his arms and carried her to the bed, pulling the blankets over her he stood beside her watching her stir in her sleep. God she's beautiful, why on earth would anyone ever break her heart, she's perfect, smart, funny, sexy, she's everything that I could ever want in a woman so why haven't I made a move on her. Because you respect her Orton, she's more then just a piece of ass, you really care for her and you want more then just a one night stand. You want her to be the one that you wake up next to every morning; you want her to be the one that you share your life with. Man my mom was right I do want to settle down with her, God I hate when she's right like that. I don't care I'm not going to move on Rae if she's wants to be anything more then friends then she can make the first move I don't want her to leave me again. Rae settled beneath the blankets and Randy grabbed the other pillow and walked back to the couch leaving the mess for the morning. I just wish I knew who that other guy was so I could thank him for letting Rae go so I can have a chance.
The next morning Rae woke taking a few minutes she realized that she was still in Randy's room, in his bed, but where was he. Rae stretched then got out of bed and walked out to the entertainment area and found Randy a sleep on the couch, she smiled at the sight of him on a sleep on the couch with his leg thrown over the back of the couch and his head hanging off the side of the couch. She laughed a little then began cleaning up the mess they left the night before, she ordered some breakfast. When it arrived Rae sat the food out on the table in front of Randy then lightly tapped his arm trying to wake him up, when that didn't work she lightly shook him getting a response that time. Randy sat up on the couch he rubbed the sleep from his eyes as Rae sat down beside him and handed him a plate of eggs.
"I hope you didn't have to be up early this morning. You didn't say anything last night so I just left you sleep in a little."
Randy shook his head. "No I don't have anything to do until later tonight." He took a bite of the egg then a drink of the juice sitting on the table. "Are you going to eat?"
"No I'm really not that hungry right now, never was one for breakfast." Rae half lied, she just didn't want to be in the bathroom throwing up in front of Randy. No one knows about the baby and she wanted to keep it that way as long as she could.
"SO when you head home?"
"We still have another two weeks on the road before we head back." Rae sipped her juice.
"I was hoping that we could do this again sometime, even though we watched the dumbest movie of all time."
"Oh come on Randy it wasn't that bad."
"I think the most fun was watching you eat sushi, I will remember that for as long as I live." Randy took the last bite of egg then sat his plate down and leaned back on the couch. "So what do you say we do this again, only this time I pick the movie?"
"As long as you have lunch with me tomorrow." Rae stood from the couch taking the empty plate and glasses with her.
"Where at?"
"I don't care; I just thought it would be nice to have lunch again." Rae sat the dishes on the tray then returned to the couch.
"How about out in that garden where we had lunch the other day we can do it on Tuesday then the movie night on Thursday that is if you don't have anything to do with Dave." Randy suggested.
"Sounds good. I better be going Dave has an interview in three hours and I have to get a shower and get Dave out of bed, knowing him his still in bed I swear you men would sleep all day if it wasn't for us women." Randy laughed as he stood from the couch and walked her to the door.
Rae walked into the hotel suite that she was sharing with Dave expecting to find him in bed still. Instead she found him pacing the floor in front of the door with a scared and worried look on his face. Dave stopped pacing when he heard the door open and seen Rae standing there.
"Where in the hell have you been? I was up all night waiting for you to come back when you didn't I tried calling Randy's room but didn't get an answer so I went down and knocked on the door." She had never seen Dave so mad and upset at her before.
"I was in Randy's room all night I fell asleep watching a movie and Randy just let me sleep. I didn't think you would be so worried it's like you need to be anymore, we're not together remember you went back to Mel and left me. So if you're done yelling at me like I'm one of your daughters I'm going to go take a shower before you have to be at that interview." Rae turned and walked back into the bedroom.
After she finished her shower and both her and Dave were dressed they walked out of the hotel to they rental car that was waiting for them out front. Neither one said a word to each other during the drive to the studio where the interview was being held or at the interview, which was really starting to bother Dave he didn't want this to happen they were supposed to go on like everything was before they slept together. They were suppose to be friends again and talk like they were supposed to in fact he had planned to take her out to dinner last night to try and talk everything out and get past all of this awkwardness between them. But instead she goes out with Randy; I have to admit she did look happy walking down the street with him laughing.
"Rae we need to talk." Dave said as he turned out of the parking lot. "This not talking thing is really getting old. We were supposed to go back to the way things were before, you friends and talking and hanging out. I know that I hurt you when I went back to Mel and left you pregnant and then I wasn't there for you when you lost the baby and I'm sorry for that I should have been there no matter what but I wasn't."
"Dave what do you want?"
"I want you to forgive me; I want you to talk to me again. I understand you're mad and you hate me I just hope we can get past this."
"Dave I'm sorry if I've made it seem like I hate, I don't hate you I'm upset and angry but I don't hate you." Rae paused for a minute. "I had my heart ripped out by you when you left me for Mel. I know that she's your wife and you love her and you have kids together so you need to fix your marriage for them but you told me so many times that you were going to leave her to be with me then you went back to her. Then you come back to me and get me pregnant and you said you were really going to leave her and be with me so we could raise our child together and you go back to her."
"God it's no wonder you lost the baby I put you through so much stress."
Oh no now I've made him think that it's his fault the baby's gone, what I have done. "Look Dave it's not your fault you didn't do anything expect for love your wife which is what you should do. Please don't blame your self for the baby; it was just God's way." Rae looked down at the floor feeling so guilty. He deserves to know the truth about the baby; he deserves to know that his baby is still inside me and is healthy. But if tell him he might just want to play with my emotions more and I really can't handle that.
"Do you think that you can ever forgive me for what I've done and the way I treated you?" Dave asked solemnly.
"I already have Dave." Rae looked back up at him. "But you can't be treating me like you wife or one of your kids. That thing this morning was uncalled for."
"I know I was just really worried about you and when I couldn't get a hold of you I wasn't sure…"
"You thought that I was having sex with Randy didn't you and that made you mad."
"Yeah I guess."
"Guess what Dave I'm not going to be single for the rest of my life. I will sleep with other guys and hopefully God willing I will get married. I hate to say it but you had your chance and you went back to Mel not that I blame you or anything. But you can't keep getting upset just because you think I'm sleeping with some one."
"I know." Dave pulled to a stop in front of the hotel. "So did you want to grab some lunch with me?"
"Sure I'm starving." Rae got out of the car with Dave and they walked into the hotel together.
"So are you and Randy you going seeing more of each other?" Dave asked as they were being seated at a table in the hotel restaurant.
"Yeah actually we're having lunch together one day and another movie night. There's nothing going on between us we're just friends."
"That's how it always starts out." Dave said as the waiter came by to take their order.
