The One
Chapter Five: Confession
"Okay... Here it goes... I love..." John started.
Randy glared at him, waiting for the name to roll off his tongue.
"You love?" Randy asked.
"I love..." John took a deep breath. "Amy..."
"What?" Randy questioned, unsure if he heard correctly.
"I love Amy..." John repeated.
"As a friend, or more?" Randy asked.
"More..." John replied.
Randy leaned back in the chair he was sitting in, taking in what he had just heard. After a few moments of silence he started...
"How? When? Does she love you back?" Randy questioned.
"How I don't know... When, about two months ago... And I think she loves me back." John announced.
Randy ran a hand through his hair. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, second later he reopened them. John was watching him curiously, trying to read his emotions.
"How could you?" Randy asked, his voice cracking a tad.
"Man, it just happened... We went out on a date and then we kissed a week later... I don't know when, but I fell in love with her and she fell in love with me." John explained.
"A week later? We were together then... Have you done anything with my girlfriend? I mean anything... Kiss, make out, touch each other... Have sex?" Randy questioned.
"Are you kiddin' me? You wanna know if we had sex?" John snapped.
"Hey, I'm just wondering how much she's kept from me..." Randy replied.
"Fine... We've done all that you've listed, except sex." John declared.
"Okay... So, why would you guys speak behind my back like that? Are you crazy or are you just that heartless?" Randy sneered.
"Randy, she's wanted to tell you... But it was my idea not to. I didn't think you'd be too pleased with it." John stated.
"Too pleased?" Randy echoed. "Too pleased? I'm pissed off about it... You snuck behind my back and you were making out with my girl friend for two months. Why would have been pleased with that!"
"I know you weren't going to be happy 'bout it... But I just wanted to tell you before you do anythin' you'll regret." John replied.
"Anything I'll regret? So this is your way of splitting us up and having her to yourself?" Randy snapped.
"Why would you stay with a woman that has cheated on ya?" John asked.
"Because I love her! I've told you how much I love her, yet you were trying to steal her away from me all this time..." Randy hissed. "Some friend you are."
"I wasn't tryin'... Well, I don't think you really love her... You just love that baby she's carryin'... Why don't you do yourself and her a favor and just leave?" John sneered.
"Oh you'd like that, wouldn't you?" Randy questioned.
"Yeah, cos' then I could show her how much I really love her, without her pushin' me away." John replied.
"Well that's not going to happen... I'm not leaving her... But this, our friendship, is over..." Randy declared as he got up from his seat. "Oh yeah, don't you go near Amy again..."
Randy stormed off, leaving John frustrated. He'd just lost Randy as a friend and still wasn't going to have Amy. How screwed up things were now.
Meanwhile...
Jeff glared at Amy again, the silence was killing him.
"I'm sorry... Please don't be mad at me." Jeff pleaded.
"I'm not... I'm just worried what they're talkin' about, that's all." Amy replied.
"Well we'll find out soon enough..." Jeff mumbled. "So when are y'all headin' to Texas?"
"In two days I guess... Maybe sooner if somethin' comes up." Amy stated.
"Somethin' as in Randy gets upset?" Jeff asked.
"Exactly..." Amy replied.
Suddenly there was a spark knock at the door, Jeff and Amy glared at the door a few moments. Jeff got off the bed and opened the door, a man pushed past him and glared at him. Jeff could tell something was wrong and he left the room.
"So explain to me... When did you plan on telling me about you and John? When did you plan on breaking up with me?" Randy asked.
"I... I wasn't going to break up with you... I wanted to tell you..." Amy mumbled.
"What do you mean you're not leaving me? John said you love him... Why would you stay with me?" Randy snapped.
"Do you want me to leave you?" Amy questioned.
"No... I don't... But, just tell me why you're not going to leave me... If it's because of our baby, then it's over." Randy replied.
"It's not because of the baby..." Amy declared.
"Then why?" Randy asked.
"Because... I don't want to be with John... I want to be with you..." Amy stated.
"You want to be with me?" Randy echoed.
"Yes..." Amy replied getting off the bed.
She stood before him, hazel eyes locked with blue. He grabbed her and held her close to him, pulling her into a tight embrace. Her head rested on his chest as his hands ran up and down her back.
"I love you..." Randy muttered.
"I know..." She whispered.
Meanwhile...
Jeff headed down to the hotel restaurant, not necessarily looking for John, but that was one of his reasons. John was sitting at a table glaring at his hands, he looked up when Jeff plopped down in the chair Randy was previously in.
"Amy and Randy are talkin'..." Jeff announced.
"Good I hope they break up..." John mumbled.
"Why? They're having a baby... You seriously want to break up a couple that's having a baby? The baby will just bring them closer together after it's born." Jeff stated.
"I know... I just don't care... If she were mine, that wouldn't matter..." John declared.
"You seriously don't get it..." Jeff replied, shaking his head.
Elsewhere...
Lisa, Carlene, Stacy and Torrie were the victims of Dawn and Trish's mega shopping spree. The occasion? Amy's baby shower.
"Trish... Dawn... You are the pickiest shoppers EVER!" Lisa exclaimed.
"Yeah... Who cares if the cups and plates aren't the same color?" Carlene remarked dryly.
"Sorry girls, but for once I've got to agree with Lisa and Carlene! Who cares!" Torrie declared.
"I DO!" Trish snapped as Stacy shook her head.
"Why don't you just get two colors that mix together well? It'd be more interesting than all one color..." Stacy commented.
"And that's why we invited you! Great idea Stac!" Dawn replied with a smile.
"Thanks... I feel oh so loved..." Stacy mumbled.
"I'm just glad that you and Ames patched things up..." Trish stated.
"What does that have to do with cups and plates?" Dawn asked.
"I'm just saying... We missed having the seven of us bonding..." Trish replied with a smirk.
"Of course... We were inseparable!" Dawn exclaimed, as if a flash back of the good times just hit her. "Oh, how I miss those days..."
"Yeah... The days when all Lisa and Amy would do is make trouble... Now Li and Ames are good little girls..." Trish teased.
"We still cause trouble!" Lisa protested.
"Alright, when's the last time you caused trouble?" Dawn asked.
"Three weeks ago... When we pulled that prank on Randy..." Lisa declared.
"What prank?" Stacy questioned.
"Oh we told him that the baby would be born in four months..." Lisa replied.
Everyone was silent as they totaled that up in their heads.
"You told him that the baby was due after eight months? That's stupid..." Trish mumbled.
"Actually he freaked out..." Lisa stated.
"Oh... Because that's when Wrestlemania is... How cruel." Dawn laughed.
"Yeah, he thought he was going to miss Wrestlemania..." Lisa declared.
"I still don't get it..." Trish muttered.
"Do I need to explain everything to you?" Dawn snapped.
"No... I just don't get why he'd be so upset that he was going to miss Wrestlemania because his baby's being born." Trish replied.
"Still it was a minor prank." Torrie announced.
"That it was..." Carlene agreed.
"When Ames gets back, we're going to show you we can still stir up some trouble... You'll see." Lisa announced.
"Well, whatever you do, do NOT mess up this baby shower... If you do, I'll strangle you..." Dawn warned.
"I'm shaking in my shoes..." Lisa teased.
"It's boots, but nice try..." Dawn replied, patting Lisa on the shoulder.
Lisa slapped Dawn's hand away, "Just pick out your stupid cups and plates so we can leave."
