I only own Jemma and her brothers.

The two superstars looked over towards the groaning brunette as she sat up in bed. Randy offered her a smile as she closed her eyes and placed her head back on the pillow. "Time is it?"
"Quarter of ten. Are you up for hittin' the gym with us?" Jemma sat up in the bed and lifted her eyebrow in Randy's direction. "You don't have to, but that's where we're headed soon."
Jemma shrugged. "Nah. I'm gunna head home, get showered and all. I have lunch with my agent today."
Randy nodded and stood from the couch. "Ria has more clothes than half of the stores she buys them from, so she won't miss those." Jemma smiled and slipped out of bed, fixing the short shorts at the same time. She grabbed her purse and pulled out a pair of flip flops, before tossing in her clothes from the night before. Holding her heels in one hand, she waved goodbye to John and waited by the door for Randy to slip some shoes on. He did so and followed her out of the room and down to the lobby. Stepping outside, she couldn't help but smile at how good he looked in the morning. In just a pair of jeans and a black zip up hooded sweatshirt, a pair of designer sunglasses adorning his face, he pulled off the hung-over look a lot better than she did at the moment.
He called over a taxi for her, something he usually didn't do with a girl. It was usually a quick screw, and he would kick her ass right out. But with Jem, he wanted to keep her around. He didn't want to let this one go so fast. She reached into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone, typing her cell phone and home numbers as well as her address. Randy helped her into the taxi and smiled at her.
"I'll call ya tonight. We'll probably be there to pick you up around 6:30." She smiled and nodded. Randy placed a kiss to her cheek before shutting the door.

Hanging up the phone from Randy calling to her they were downstairs, she checked herself out in the mirror once more. A pair of fitted jeans, tucked into a pair of black Uggs, matched off with a burgundy plain baby doll top hidden beneath a black O'Neil sweatshirt. Her hair was straightened with bangs pulled back, and the top layer pulled back into a small clip.
Stepping outside, she saw Randy sitting in the passenger seat smiling at her as John talked to someone in the backseat and playing with the radio. She slipped into the backseat with a smile on her face. "Hey babe."
"Hey." Maria offered her a smile as John took off down the street. The entire ride there, Jemma had a feeling everyone knew something that she didn't. She tried to shake off the feeling, but the silence in regard to the radio in the background told her otherwise. Jemma caught a smile Randy offered her through the passenger side mirror and smiled back at him.
They pulled up to Denny's, and everyone hustled out to meet up with their friends inside. The group of five walked over to the table occupied by Johnny, Melina, Candice, Kenny and Mickie. Randy pulled the chair next to him out for Jemma, who smiled and sat down as Randy sat next to her and rested his arm on the back of her chair. After the new five people to the table ordered, conversation was started at the table. Jemma sat out most of it since it was mainly about the business. The waitress brought out their drinks and appetizers, as Jemma offered a smile as she walked away. "You okay?"
She turned to see Randy watching her. "Yeah," she replied with a nod. Not really. I have a feeling you're not telling me something. Randy smiled and slid her chair directly next to his. "Thank you for asking me to come out with you."
"No problem, babe." Jemma reached onto the table and grabbed a mozzarella stick off of one of the four samplers on the table. "Are you comin' to RAW tomorrow?"
"I can't. I have an audition early tomorrow, and then I work the bar Monday nights." Randy nodded slowly and watched her closely. "Just know I'll be watchin', though."
Randy's eyebrow rose in confusion. "You never told me you watched."
"It's somethin' I got from my job. You get more jobs if you know how to be professional around famous people." Randy smiled and nodded. "It seems to me that it's a more attractive attribute to seem like someone who really doesn't care about the fame or the money."
"You just keep surprisin' me." Jemma smiled as Randy's cell phone went off in his pocket. By the ring tone, he could tell it was the one person who could truly care less about talking to at that moment. He excused himself from the table and walked outside to take the call. "What can I help you with, Sierra?"
Hearing a laugh over the phone, his estranged wife smirked. "Did I interrupt your dinner with friends, Randal?"
"Is there a point for your call?" Randy tried his best not to get mad, but with Sierra knowing about Sunday nights with friends, she had to call him. Every time. Pulling a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket, he stuck one in his mouth and lit it. "Why do you have to be such a bitch and call every Sunday night?"
"Well, I miss my hubby."
"If only the feelings were mutual," he mumbled. "I'm hanging up on you now, Sierra."
"I love you."
Rolling his eyes, Randy replied, "No, you don't" before disconnecting the call. Hearing the door shut behind him, he turned to see Jemma walking towards him.
"What was that about?"
Knowing if she found out about Sierra, all hell would break loose, and he wasn't willing to chance it with Jem. "A friend from home." She nodded and stepped next to him, taking the cigarette from his fingers and placed it to her lips and took a drag. Passing it back to him, she couldn't help the smile forming on her lips. "I'm leavin' Tuesday morning."
Jemma looked away from him and nodded. She took a seat on the garden box, focusing on the parking lot. "I get it --."
"No, Jem. I'm leavin' for a taping Tuesday, but I want to come back and see you when I have time off." He took a final drag before tossing it to the sidewalk and stepped on it. "I just want to know if you want me to."
Jemma nodded. "I'd like that." Randy offered her his hand and helped her up. He wrapped his arm around her waist as the two walked back inside.
