Right Where We Left Off

Chapter 14

Dinner with John was a success. They got to relearn things about each other, learn new things and relieve old memories. Of course John was the perfect gentleman, as always. It was exactly like old times, which was scary. At the end of the date, they stumbled into the hotel elevators in a fit of giggles. John's arms had locked tightly around Paige to keep her from falling. Paige giggled out a "thanks" and looked into his blue eyes. Both of their laughter slowly faded off and their expressions became serious. She saw John's eyes trail from her eyes to her lips and she couldn't help hers from doing the same. She involuntarily took a step closer and he followed suit. Their eyes locked before their heads began to gravitate towards the other. Their lips were just about to touch when the elevator dinged and the doors opened. They sprang apart as a stranger entered the elevator. The moment was over and they acted normal, as if nothing happened. They silently walked to their room. Paige thanked John for dinner and they both agreed they needed to go out together more often. They retired to their respective beds but neither got much sleep; John was fantasizing about what would have happened if they hadn't been interrupted in the elevator and Paige was trying to analyze what happened.

Thursday flew by in a blur and before Paige knew it, it was time for her and Randy to go out to dinner. She met him outside his locker room after the show, waiting for him to change after his match. She had just left John's locker room after a series of interrogating questions that she just didn't really have the answer for, like: "Do you know what his intentions are?", "Does he like you?", "Do you like him?", and "What time will you be back?" to which she could only reply "Ask him yourself John" to all the questions.

She had on skinny jeans, a red silk short sleeve button up blouse, classic black square peep toe pumps, and she was pulling anxiously at her wavy hair as her back was against the wall while she waited for Randy.

Moments later, Randy walked out of his locker room with his bag over his shoulder. He was wearing jeans, a black button down shirt, dress shoes and an apologetic smile. "Hey, sorry it took me so long." He said then paused as he looked her over. "You look great," He said, stepping closer to press a kiss to her cheek.

"Thanks you do too." She said, pushing herself away from the wall. "Ready?"

"Yeah, let's go." Randy said, using his hand on her lower back to lead her down the hall.

"Hey, what took you so long anyway?" She asked curiously as she glanced up at him.

"Oh! It was the craziest thing-John called me asking me all these questions about my intentions toward you." He explained.

No way, he actually did it, she thought surprised. "You're kidding! What'd you say?"

"I told him I couldn't talk now, I had a gorgeous girl waiting for me and I didn't want to keep her waiting any longer." He said with his signature smile and I couldn't help but blush.

"So what's the story behind you and John breaking up anyway?" Randy asked while they were eating their dinner. It was something he'd always wondered about but he'd never asked John because he always seemed so upset about it. He assumed Paige broke his heart and he didn't want to make him feel any worse than he already did. But he was really curious and Paige seemed like she was open to talking about it.

She let out a sigh and used her fork to pierce her salad. "Randy, that's really personal."

Randy nodded in understanding. "I understand that, I was just wondering." He said, a little bummed but he didn't want to push her.

She looked up and pursed her lips in thought. "So John's never told you?"

"I've never asked, it was always kind of an off limits subject with him." He explained.

After a few moments of silence, she decided to just tell him, no sense in hiding it. "It was the last weekend of winter break of senior year. My grandma had just passed away so my family and I left in the middle of the week to go to the funeral and everything." She paused and looked down at her food. Randy reached a hand across the table to take one of hers for comfort. She smiled at him softly before continuing. "Our plans were to come back on Sunday but we all just wanted to go home, so we drove back Saturday and got there around ten at night. One of my friends was throwing a party that night, so I decided I'd just stop by to see everyone and say hi. So I get there and I can't find John anywhere. I'm asking all my friends and all his friends and no one knows where he is." She stopped and let out a sigh. "Well, I go upstairs to put my bag in one of the bedrooms and to call John where music isn't blasting in my ear to see where he is. But I didn't need to call him; found him. I walked into the bedroom and there he was, having sex with my best friend since first grade."

Randy's eyes grew wide and he let out a long breath. "Wow," He said, that was definitely not how he envisioned the story going.

She nodded sadly. "Yeah,"

"So…what'd you do?"

"Well I dumped him on the spot. I can put up with a lot, but cheating is just not something I will put up with." Randy nodded in understanding. "It was hard at first. I was really bitter towards the both of them and it was almost like the more they apologized, the angrier I was. It hurt every time I saw them, which as often, because we had all the same friends. Eventually though, I just put it in the back of my mind. I was very cordial to them but, at the same time, unfriendly. I avoided being around them and talking to them as much as possible."

"Man, that's awful," He said, still finding it hard to believe that John cheated on Paige. From everything that John had told him, he had never loved anyone like he had loved Paige, not even Carla. "So how are you two friends again?"

"Well, I mean, after high school, we all went our separate ways and occasionally I would run into her. I just decided that I don't want to hold any grudges and if I run into them on the street I don't want to act like I don't know them because at one point in my life, those were the two most important people I had. So I decided to just be nice and we can act like friends and not actually be friends." She said with a smile. "Last weekend, though, was the first time I have seen John since the summer going into college. When I saw him, I just knew that all the stuff that happened is in the past and I can't hold it against him now. He's grown up, matured and so have I."

Randy nodded with a smirk. "You are a very sensible person you know?"

She tilted her head to the side. "I know," She said playfully. "It's just something that I have come to terms with and there was no reason for me hold it against him anymore."

"I don't know if I could be as forgiving as you." Randy said.

"You could. That was ten years ago, I'm at a new place in my life and so is John." She couldn't help but let her mind wander to their almost kiss last night. Secretly, she had wanted it to happen, but at the same time, she really like Randy and wanted to see if there was anything there.

"I guess," Randy commented, snapping her out of her thoughts. "So, dessert?" He asked with a mischievous smile.

She laughed and leaned forward to look at the dessert menu. "I can never say no to dessert."

After sharing a piece of chocolate cake, the pair made their way back into the hotel. Randy walked Paige back to her hotel room and Paige dug for her key card in her purse. "Randy, I had a really nice time tonight. Thanks for dinner." She said.

"Thank you for coming; you are great company." He replied

"Oh well thank you," She said taking a nervous step closer to him. He noticed and sent her his infamous smile along with a wink before he reached an arm out to wrap around her waist and bring her closer.

"We must do this again real soon," Randy whispered as he placed a kiss right next to her ear.

"We really must," She said, putting her hands on the side of his face, tilting it to face her. Their lips connected in an electrifying kiss that made them both weak in the knees. She wrapped her arms around his neck as his arms wrapped tightly around her waist. They made out for a few minutes before they were interrupted by someone clearing their throat. They broke apart in a daze and looked up. Paige immediately blushed when she saw Dave smiling like an idiot.

"I don't like Randy I swear," He mocked in a girl voice, imitating Paige, which just made her blush harder, burying her face in Randy's neck. Dave's laugh echoed off the walls as he walked down the hall toward the elevator.

"Sorry about him, he hasn't been laid in a while." Randy said, using his hands to get Paige to face him. He smiled at her and placed a small kiss to her lips. "You're cute when you blush."

She mocked a pout. "Shut up." She said, pushing him away.

He laughed and pulled her back to him. "Oh I'm only kidding. You're cute all the time." He said placing a kiss on her neck. They stood there for a few more minutes, just wrapped in each others arms and placing kisses on each other every once in a while.

"I guess we better get to bed." She whispered, not wanting to ruin the moment.

"Yeah, I guess so. So you're room or mine?" He joked.

She tried to send him a threatening look but it was ruined with her smile. "You could sleep in mine if you want but then you'd have to share a bed with John."

Randy's face clouded over in disgust. "Alright, alright, I get the hint." He said, placing another kiss on her lips. "Mmm, I can't stop kissing you."

She smiled. "Go to bed," She pushed him away and turned around to open her door.

"Okay, okay, but I'll see you tomorrow," He said kissing the top of her head before walking down the hall.

She couldn't help but let out a silent excited scream. She hadn't received this much attention from a guy since she was dating John and she was definitely enjoying it.
