Chapter 11 – Letting the Truth out of the Bag

Alex turned when she heard the door open, expecting to see Sandra enter with their waters. Instead her eyes settled on eyes that could only belong to Randy. As soon as she realized that it wasn't Sandra, she stood up. She crossed her arms across her chest and turned her back in mock annoyance. It was all an act though; a sham to make it seem like Randy didn't affect her. The truth was that Randy affected Alex every time that they were in the same room together. The truth was that Alex had to turn her back so that she didn't have to look into his eyes. She knew that if she allowed herself to look into his eyes, it would be all over. The act would fail and her walls would come tumbling down.

"Randy, what do you want?"

Randy sighed. "Alex, I just want to talk. I tried to talk to you two weeks ago but you ran from me instead of letting me explain."

Alex laughed. "Explain? Randy there is no need for you to explain the fact that you were kissing your girlfriend. It's perfectly natural. I don't know why you seem to think that I really cared about it."

"Alex I wasn't kissing my girlfriend. That was a good-bye kiss to my ex-girlfriend. You did know that Stacy and I broke up, right?"

Alex shifted her weight to her other foot as she continued talking to Randy with her back turned. "Of course I knew. Word does travel quite fast through the locker room. I didn't realize that was the night you broke up though."

"It was…and I've wanted to talk to you ever since that night." Randy moved towards Alex and placed his hands on her shoulders.

Alex immediately moved away from his touch. "Don't touch me Randy!" She yelled. "I don't want you touching me."

"You don't want me too…or you can't handle it?"

"Hahaha, very funny." Alex replied as she headed towards the door. "There is nothing you could do that I wouldn't be able to handle."

"Oh really?" Randy said as he moved in front of the door to stop her from leaving. Alex immediately turned away from him again and headed towards the opposite corner of the room. "Then, why can't you look at me?"

"I can…I just don't want to. You know Randy, contrary to what you believe, not every woman wants to stare at you. I mean, you may think that you are gorgeous and god's gift to women…but I'll have you know that not every woman wants to keep that gift. They would much rather return it for a newer and better…"

In the midst of Alex's rambling, Randy managed to walk up behind her again. This time he wrapped his arms around her waist securely, not willing to let her go so easily.

"Hey!" Alex yelled. "Randy, let go of me!" Alex struggled to free herself from Randy's grasp.


John was wandering around backstage trying to find Randy. He had given John so much insight in their first conversation that John had another question that he wanted Randy's opinion on. The problem was that he couldn't find Randy anywhere. He had just gone through catering for a second time when he saw the writer's office. He figured that Alex was probably in there and maybe she had seen Randy. He went to open the door but was stopped.

"Hey! I wouldn't do that if I were you."

John turned to see the blue-eyed writer friend of Alex's coming towards him. "Hi…Sandra right?"

"Yes." Sandra said with a smile.

"Is there a reason I can't go in there?" John asked.

"If you want to interrupt Randy and Alex finally talking be my guest. But, I would suggest not doing so."

John smirked. "Wait Alex and Randy are in there alone…finally talking about everything."

"Well, I hope so. That's what my plan was anyways when I set it up."

"Good idea. So are you like the relationship fixer or something?"

Sandra laughed. "Not really. I was just getting tired of seeing Alex mope around our room, when I knew that all she really wanted was to talk to Randy."

"Well, I really wanted to talk to Randy, but I guess I could wait."

Sandra sighed. "Is it something that I can help you with?"

John sighed not knowing if he should try to explain everything to Sandra, whom he didn't even know, or wait and talk to Randy. "Umm, let's see. I have this girl who I used to date. Then we broke up but remained and friends. We eventually started a "friends with benefits" kind of relationship. But, I grew to want more than that again but she didn't really agree. Anyways though, she left quite quickly after our last fight. I've been trying to get a hold of her too, but nothing seems to work. I'm going home for a couple days off tomorrow and I was going to ask Randy if he thought I should try and go see her. What do you think?"

Sandra tried to process everything that John had said but then she just gave up finding it utterly too confusing. "John, I've just got one question. Do you love her?"

"Yeah."

"Then go see her."

John smiled. "Alright, thanks for the advice Sandra." Then John took off down the hall.

"You're welcome." Sandra called after him. She just shook her head as she went back to guarding the door waiting for Alex and Randy to emerge either at each other's throats or hopelessly in love.


Randy breathed in the scent of Alex's hair. She was intoxicating. He had to be near her. He just couldn't let her get away this time. "No way." Randy said in Alex's ear. "We need to talk."

Alex almost fell apart at feeling Randy's warm breathe on her ear and neck. She had to control herself though and figure out how she could regain control of the situation. "We were talking."

"Yes, but you weren't really willing to listen."

Alex laughed as she continued to struggle. "Is this your idea of being charming?"

Randy smirked. "Not really but…I had to do something. It's kind of hard to have a conversation with someone when they won't even look at you."

Alex stopped struggling. "Will you please let me go? I promise that we will have a real conversation."

Randy continued holding tightly. "Promise?"

Alex laughed. "Randy! I said that I promised…now will you please let me go?"

"Fine." Randy released his hold around Alex's waist as she stumbled out of his reach.

"Thank you." Alex turned to face him and then crossed her arms with a smug smile. "Now…talk."

"Alex, why do you have to be like that? You know how I feel about you." Randy said sincerely.

Alex looked at Randy questioningly. "Actually, I don't think that I do. I thought I did, but then I got a job here only to find you with another woman. So, excuse me if I'm not really sure where you stand."

"Alex, I broke up with her! Stacy and I aren't together anymore. We got together when I thought that I would never see you again." Randy paused trying to gather his thoughts. "Remember, you are the one that left in the first place…not me." Randy rubbed his forehead in aggravation. "Then, you came back and everything I felt for you in our first week together came flooding back. They are here right now and I can't get rid of them." Randy couldn't take not holding Alex anymore. He moved suddenly towards her. He quickly captured Alex's lips in a kiss filled with all the passion that had been building for her.

Alex wanted to melt into the kiss and just accept it. She almost did too but then her brain kicked in and told her no. She quickly pushed Randy away. "Randy, don't do that here and now. I need to say some things first."

Randy breathed heavily, still winded from that kiss, as he backed away from Alex. "Fine…then talk."

Alex sighed, not knowing how she should begin. "Randy, I avoided my feelings for you the entire time I was here for that week. From the first moment we met, we had a connection. I didn't know what to do about that because I knew that eventually I would have to leave. You though…you kept pushing it. I tried to avoid it, but that day in the airport I just couldn't do that any longer. I had to kiss you."

Randy laughed sarcastically. "Oh, so you had to kiss me? If you had to so badly, then why was it so easy for you to leave?"

"Randy it wasn't easy!" Alex yelled with frustration. "Why do you think I came back?"

Randy started to say something but then he stopped and his face softened. "I thought that I wasn't the reason that you came back?"

Alex shrugged. "Randy you were a big part of it. Not all of it…but a big part. From the moment I left your arms in that airport to this moment right here…" Alex paused unable to say the words out loud as a single tear rolled down her cheek. "…I've wanted you."

Randy moved back towards Alex to wipe the tear away but Alex avoided his touch.

"Wait I'm not finished yet." Alex sighed as she stared at her feet. "I'm sorry that I left in the first place. I'm sorry that I wouldn't let you explain. I'm sorry I avoided you these past two weeks. Most of all though, I'm sorry that I didn't say this sooner…" Alex wiped the tears from her eyes as she looked up to look directly into Randy's eyes. "Randy the truth is, that when I look you in the eye, I can't pretend that I don't care. When I'm in the same room as you, I can't pretend that you aren't there. When you touch me, I can't pretend that it doesn't drive me crazy. I just can't fight it anymore. I'm sick of pretending that you don't mean anything. Alex paused. "Randy…I love you."

Randy didn't even know how to answer her, so he did the only thing he could think of. He grabbed a hold of her and just kissed her. This time Alex accepted it warmly and melted in Randy's embrace. The kiss was exactly what both Alex and Randy had been craving from each other from the moment that they met. Then Randy pulled away and smiled.

"By the way…I love you too."

Alex just laughed as she pulled Randy in for another breathtaking kiss.


John was heading to the locker room when his cell phone went off. After looking at the screen, he couldn't believe his eyes. "Rae?"

"Hey John."

"Hey, I've been trying to get a hold of you."

"Yeah, I know. I've kind of been avoiding you, but now I really need to tell you something."

"Okay…"


A/N – Dun, dun, dun…Is Rae really going to tell John her news over the phone? Will she ever really be able to tell him? Hmm, I'm not telling. Alright, so there was the chapter. The chapter that all of you Randy and Alex shippers have been waiting for. Their conversation basically wrote itself and I'm very pleased with it. Thank you so much for all the great reviews. I hope that you all enjoyed this chapter as much as the other ones and please continue reviewing. I greatly appreciate all of you who support me!
