Right Where We Left Off
Chapter 10
Randy stood by the bar, sipping his beer as he surveyed the crowd. He had been at the club for a little over a half hour, waiting for Paige and John to get there. He was starting to think that maybe they weren't going to show. As much as he hated to admit it, he was really attracted to Paige. He didn't like her at first but after he got to know her a little better, he looked forward to spending more time with her.
"Hey what's up man?" Adam asked Randy as he came to stand next to him by the bar.
"Just enjoying the view." Randy said, gesturing to all the dancing girls in the club. Adam laughed and nodded.
"I know what you mean." He said taking a sip of his beer. They were both silent for a minute, just enjoying each other's company when Paige walked in with John and caught their eye. "She sure is a looker huh?" Adam asked, gesturing with his beer bottle to the woman who was standing with John talking to Shawn Michaels.
Randy looked at him, trying to hide how attracted he was to her. "She's cute."
Adam laughed. "What do you think John would say if I asked her out?"
"Wait, you want to ask her out?" Randy asked, confused.
"Yeah," Adam said, not seeing the problem.
"You just met her." Randy stated.
Adam shrugged and turned his attention back to Paige. "All the more reason to take her out so we can get to know each other."
Randy nodded, it was so simple, why couldn't he do that? Normally he would have no problem asking a girl out, but with her he felt like he had to hide it, for John's sake. "Well, I mean John has Carla, he'd be cool with it." Randy said, even though he still had his doubts about whether or not John was truly over his first love. "But, I'm almost positive she still has feelings for John."
Adam looked at him. "Really? But they haven't even seen each other for ten years."
Randy shrugged. "I could be wrong, it's just this vibe I get." Adam nodded and turned back to look at her thoughtfully, as if trying to see through her and decide if she's over John. Randy was trying to turn Adam away from Paige so he wouldn't ask her out but now, looking at him, he felt bad. Adam was a good friend of his, he should encourage him to go after her, even if he himself might have some type of feelings for her. "Go for it man." Randy said slapping Adam on the back as he set his empty glass down and walked across the floor to a table occupied by some wrestlers.
John smiled as he walked away from the bar. He spotted Paige dancing with some of the divas on the dance floor and he was glad she was making some friends. He took a seat next to Randy and set a drink in front of his friend.
"Thanks man." Randy said, grabbing his glass and taking a drink.
"It's nothing." John said clinking his glass with Randy's. "I owe you for babysitting Paige today."
"We weren't babysitting," Randy said with a laugh. "we had a good time; We played poker."
John's face curled up in pain. "Bad idea huh?"
"Big time. Next time one of your friends comes on the road, warn me if they're going to take my money." They laughed and then Randy said, "So why did you lock yourself in your room? We were wondering."
John sighed and took a long gulp of beer. "Carla came back early."
Randy's eyes widened. "She's here?"
John shook his head. "No. She left. She was here. She said she wanted to spend some time with me. So we did, for about five minutes, then she complained because she was waiting for me in the lobby too long and claimed I needed to let her know where I am and what I am doing at all times." Randy shook his head. Sometimes his assistant could be a bit ridiculous in her demands. "Yeah, and I told her she was crazy, then she left."
Randy nodded. "So how did she react when you told her about Paige?"
John sucked in a breath. "Well, you see, I didn't really get around to it."
"Wait, so you didn't tell her?" John shook his head in the negative. "And she didn't even notice Paige's things?"
John shrugged. "She wasn't there that long. Besides, we were busy."
Randy rolled his eyes and took a sip of his drink. "Well how'd Paige react when you told her about Carla?"
John sucked in another breath and Randy looked at him. He didn't even have to say it. "You didn't tell her?" John shook his head. "Man, you are getting yourself into one tangled web."
"I know," John confessed. "But I just want to enjoy my time with Paige, without worrying about having a girlfriend." Randy's eyebrows creased together. "Not…like that. I just want to get to know her again. If she knows about Carla, I don't want her to feel all insecure. You know how girls get." John said with a wave of his hand and Randy laughed in agreement. They were interrupted when Paige came up to the table sipping a martini.
"Hey John." She greeted, sitting next to John. She leaned over him and smiled at Randy. "Hi Randy."
Randy smiled and winked at her instinctively. When Paige turned to look out at the dance floor, he leaned into John and said, "Just don't let yourself get too far deep into the deception." John nodded, though Randy was unsure if he heard him. Randy stood up and placed a hand in front of Paige. "Wanna dance?"
Paige smiled and nodded, setting her martini on the table in front of her. "Of course." She said and grabbed his hand. leading him out onto the middle of the dance floor.
"I saw you when we walked in." She said as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
He raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah?"
"Yeah. You're really hot." She said and Randy laughed as he realized she might have had a bit too much alcohol for the night.
"Thanks, you're pretty hot yourself." He said.
"You were with Adam; he's hot too." She said and he laughed again.
"I'll let him know." He replied, pulling her closer to him.
"Mmm, I think you should spend the night." She slurred with a wide smile as she ran her hands up his neck and into his hair.
Randy smirked a flirty smile. "Well, that's sounds fun but I don't think John would appreciate that."
She pouted. "Well then we'll sleep in your room."
He shook his head and pushed her hair behind her ears. "Again, that sounds great but I also have a roommate."
She pouted again then sighed. "Fine." She trailed one hand from his head and moved it down his chest, Randy's eyes following her every movement. Her hand settled on top of his belt and she used her fingers to separate his skin from his shirt. She ran her hand over the tight skin on his abs and pressed a kiss to his neck. He enjoyed her touching him so he didn't stop her but when he felt her trying to unbuckle his belt, he jumped back.
"Ok, time to leave." He said with a laugh. He helped her walk over to John and interrupted the conversation he was having with Adam.
"John! Have I told you yet how much I love your muscles?" She asked as she gave him a hug. "You didn't have those when we were dating."
"Someone needs to go home." Randy said. John looked at Paige and laughed. She was all smiles and compliments tonight.
"Alright, let's go." John said, wrapping an arm around Paige's shoulders.
"Mind if I catch a ride with you? I'm about ready to leave." Randy asked.
"Sure man." John said happily as they made their way outside the club. "How about you guys wait here and I'll pull the car around." Randy nodded and led Paige over to a wall so she could lean against it.
"Randy?" She said, leaning her back against the wall and her side on Randy.
"Yeah?"
"Why did you hate me when I got here?" She asked and took Randy by surprise.
He was silent for a minute, thinking it over. Since John had yet to tell her about Carla, he couldn't be totally honest. "I was concerned."
"About what?" She slurred.
"John." He said with a sigh. What was taking John so long? "He told me about your guys' relationship and I was just concerned. He's my best friend and I don't want him to get hurt."
Paige looked up at him. "That's really sweet." She said, almost soberly as he shrugged. She pushed his face to look at her and she closed the distance, leaning forward, placing a small but intimate kiss on his lips. She pulled away, looking into his eyes after and dropped her hand from his face when John honked the car horn. She walked to the car, leaving Randy behind momentarily as he just processed what happened. Ten hours ago he tried to avoid as much time with her as possible and now she was kissing him then walking away, leaving him wanting more. He shook his head, running a hand over his face and walked to the car, joining his best friend and Paige.
