I grabbed my luggage and walked out of the airport. Randy had texted me earlier and asked what time I should be landing, so I knew he should be parked around here somewhere. Unfortunately, he didn't tell me which car he would be parked in, so I had no idea which car I should be looking for. I sighed quietly as I looked to find one of our cars to be parked in the parking lot. I wasn't having any luck unfortunately. I grab my phone out of my pocket to call Randy. However, a familiar Bentley pulls up next to me. I put my phone back in my pocket and wave at Randy. Randy parks the Bentley and unlocks the car for me.

I open the trunk of the car to start putting my luggage in. However, Randy exits the car and approaches me. I feel my heart racing as I anticipate whatever is going to happen. Randy takes my luggage from me and starts putting it in the trunk. I watch him without trying to stop him from putting my luggage in the trunk for me. Randy looks at me as he shuts the trunk.

"Thank you." I whisper.

Randy just watches me for a moment after I say that. I bit my lip in nervousness.

Randy grabbed me and pulled me into a hug. I leaned onto him as he hugged me tightly.

"Welcome home, baby." Randy whispers before kissing my forehead. "I missed you so much."

Someone honks their car horn at us. Randy gives the person the middle finger before letting me go. Randy gets in the driver's seat while I get in the passenger seat. Randy starts driving to leave the airport.

"I missed you too." I whisper.

Randy grabs my hand as he drives. "Tyler and Kenny invited us to meet them for lunch. Are you cool with that? You look pretty jetlagged."

I nod. "I'm jetlagged, but I'll go. Just let me take my luggage home before we meet up with them."

"I'll stop by the house, so we can do that."

"Thanks. Actually, thank you for the flowers too. I liked them."

Randy grins. "Of course, sweetheart."

"I guess I also owe you one for reaching out to Sheamus and getting me a Tag Team partner for my Mixed Tag Team match on Monday."

"Don't mention it. We both know why John Laurinaitis put you in that situation in the first place. He did it because I couldn't be there. The least I could do was make sure you did have someone there for you."

"Well…thank you anyway."

"Yeah. I'm sorry you two didn't win though."

"Did you watch the match? Dolph held Sheamus's tights when he pinned him."

"Of course I watched the match, you were in it. I did see that. It was a bunch of crap."

"On the bright side, John Laurinaitis will be fired soon anyway."

"He will? That's great news."

"Yeah, my dad wants John Laurinaitis gone. He told me that if he wasn't in the condition to fire Laurinaitis after Cena beats Show at No Way Out, then I could do it for him."

"I'm sure you would get a lot of satisfaction from that."

I laugh. "We both know I would."

Randy pulls into the driveway. "Do you need help taking your luggage inside?"

"No, I think I got it. Thanks though."

"Okay. I'll just wait out here in the car."

"Okay. I'll only be a few minutes."


I walk back outside after taking my luggage inside and enter the car. Randy smiles before starting to pull out of the driveway. I start tapping my foot nervously.

"So…" Randy starts to say. "Did you have a good time with the girls last week?"

"Uh…yeah, I had a good time." I reply. "I just felt bad every time I was drinking alcohol with Ryse in front of Chelle because Chelle would just kinda sit there and watch us while drinking water because she's pregnant."

"Chelle probably drank the least out of our entire group of friends though. It probably isn't that big of a deal to her."

"You're probably right. Not like she'd even say anything if it was a big deal to her."

"She probably wouldn't. So…uh…I know we shouldn't talk about the issue right before having lunch with Tyler and Kenny, but um…when do you want to talk about it?"

I give Randy a serious look before sighing. "Is there any way we could not talk about it until next week and still be civil this week?"

"You don't want to talk about it until next week? Why?"

"I've just already got a lot on my plate right now. No Way Out is on Sunday. I have to defend my Divas Championship against Beth. Then, there's the whole situation with John Laurinaitis. It's just a lot. Most of it should be settled by the time I get home next week."

Randy nods before grabbing my hand to hold. "I understand. We can talk about it next week. Just so you know, I want things to be civil between us as well. That shouldn't be an issue for me."

"Good. I'm just warning you though. Once we do talk about it, there's a good chance I'll get pissed off again."

"I know. I figured that much."

"At least you thought about that. Have you been working on your arms more since I've been gone?"

Randy smirked. "Oh, you noticed?"

"They look good."

"Feel free to feel my biceps. I think they've gotten bigger."

I laugh. "Maybe later. If we're going to the restaurant that I think we're going to, we're pretty much already there."

"You're thinking correctly."

"Good. I've been kinda craving that food actually."

"Sounds like it's your lucky day." Randy pulls into the parking lot and parks the car.

"Looks like it. I love you."

Randy gives me a large smile. "I love you too. Let's head inside."

"Right behind you."


Randy and I walk into the restaurant. I spot Tyler and Kenny already sitting at a table. They wave me and Randy over. Randy grabs my hand and walks us over to the table.

Tyler looks at me. "Well, look who finally decided to show her face."

I give Tyler a serious look. "I'm glad to see you, but I'm jetlagged. Don't push it with me, Ty."

"Okay. Don't get feisty with me."

"Sorry about Ty." Kenny says. "You know he has to embarrass us. Nice to see you, Rissa."

I smile as I sit down with Randy following suit. "Nice to see you too."

A waitress comes by our table, so we all make our orders.

Tyler grins as the waitress walks away. "Anyway, now that she's stuck with us, we can bring it up."

I raise an eyebrow. "Bring what up?"

"You're getting a birthday party whether you like or not."

I groan. "No…not this year."

"Oh come on, Rissa. You only turn thirty once."

"I don't want to turn thirty at all."

"It's happening. Just let us throw a party." Kenny comments.

I look at Randy. "Talk them out of this."

"I understand why you don't want to do something, but I also understand them wanting to throw a party for you." Randy responds before kissing my forehead.

"When you turned thirty, we just spent it together with just us, mainly at your place. Why can't I just have something like that?"

"Take it up with those two. This is on them."

Tyler smirks at me as we receive our food. "Colby is in on it too. We're not giving up on this though."

I sigh. "This is ridiculous."
