When You're Around

Chapter 14

A couple days later Chloe was sitting at home by herself, watching TV while filling out job applications for the summer when there was a knock on the door. Rachel was at work and Jessica was out with her boyfriend so she had no idea who it could be. She padded over there in her black velour pants and a matching jacket with a white cami underneath. She smiled when she opened the door and saw Randy on the other side. She wasn't expecting him but she hadn't seen him since their date, though they had spoke on the phone yesterday, and she was glad to see him again. "Hey, what are you doing here?" She asked happily.

Randy grinned at her smiling face as he put his hands on either side of the door jam. "Sorry if it's a bad time but I couldn't stay away." He paused. "I tried but I just couldn't."

"No, it's not a bad time at all, come in," She said and before she could take a step back, he stepped forward, placing his hands on her hips and pulling her into a kiss. She instantly returned the kiss and wrapped her arms around his back.

Randy laughed as she groaned when he pulled away too soon. He stepped away so she could shut the door and he walked in the living room, her following close behind. "What have you been doing today?" He asked, taking a seat on the couch.

"Well," She said as she sat down next to him. "I've been catching up on my TV shows and filling out some applications."

"Applications?" He asked as he leaned forward where there was a small stack of papers with a pen on top. "You looking for a job?" He asked when he turned to her with a raised eyebrow.

She nodded. "Yeah, for the summer."

He chuckled a little and put a hand on her knee. "You're getting a job for the summer? Funny, I always thought that the best part of being a teacher is that you get a three month vacation."

She smiled and patted his hand. "Well yes, but you are forgetting the worst part of the job…the low pay." She pulled her applications out of hands and put it back on the table. "As much as I would love to do nothing all summer but enjoy the sun and relax, realistically I can't afford it. I barely survive off of the money I make now, if I took the whole break off, I'd be homeless."

"Oh," Randy said after she finished explaining. He'd never really thought of that. "That sucks," He said simply which made Chloe laugh.

"Yeah, it does," She said as she snuggled closer to him. "So what have you been up to today?"

He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and leaned back, propping his feet up on the coffee table. "Well, let's see, I went out to breakfast with Lindsey before I dropped her off at Sam's mom house, then I went to the doctor to get my back checked up so he can clear me for my return soon and now I'm here."

She looked up at him confused. "Your return?"

He nodded. "Yeah to the ring."

Realization hit her. "Oh, for your job." She chuckled a little at her stupidity. "So what'd he say?"

"He said I'm all good to go, just to take it a bit easy my first few days back." He answered.

"You excited to go back?" She asked, very curious about the answer.

"Definitely. I live and breath wrestling." He looked down at her and noticed her melancholy expression. "But that's not to say I want to leave everything I have going for me here."

Chloe smiled up at him. "And what do you have going for you?" She couldn't help but ask, wanting him to say it.

"Well Lindsey of course," He paused dramatically. "And you."

She let out the breath she didn't even know she was holding. "I'll miss you," She said in a quiet voice.

He smiled at her words. "I'll miss you too, but hey, we don't have to worry about that for a couple weeks, let's just enjoy our time together, huh?" He suggested.

She nodded, pulling herself closer to him, her arm wrapped around his waist with her head resting on his chest. "Sounds good,"

After Randy left a couple hours later, Chloe went into the kitchen to fix herself a small dinner of grilled chicken, broccoli and mashed potatoes. When she was just plating her food, the apartment door opened and in walked Jessica. "Hey, how was the amusement park?" Chloe asked. Jessica had gone to a nearby amusement park for the day to spend time with her boyfriend, Josh, because they hadn't seen much of each other as of late, both being pretty busy. Jessica let out a loud sigh and collapsed into one of the bar stools. Chloe raised in eyebrow in concern. "Not good?" She set the plate she'd made for herself in front of Jess and made herself another plate.

Jessica chewed her lip in thought before picking up her fork and taking a bite of the chicken. Chloe sat on the stool next to her friend and waited for her to answer her question. "I don't know. I mean, I thought it was going to be fun. It was going to just be me and him having fun all day, like it used to be."

"But that didn't happen?" She asked as she stuck a forkful of mashed potatoes in her mouth.

She shook her head and swallowed the food in her mouth before speaking. "Nope. He invited all his buddies and forgot to mention it to me until we showed up and saw that they were all waiting for us at the entrance."

"What?" Chloe asked surprised.

"Yeah and he didn't even look guilty about it. I asked him why he invited them when I thought it was just going to be the two of us and he said that he felt bad not inviting them." She rolled her eyes. "Like if I knew his friends we coming, I would have invited you so I could at least have a friend there instead of being ignored the whole day."

"Josh ignored you?"

"Basically. We didn't even ride one ride together, I was even stuck riding with a stranger once because we had an odd number. He didn't offer to ride with me he just said sorry before riding with one of his buddies." Jessica said, sounding disappointed in her boyfriend.

"Wow," Chloe said. She had seen how excited Jessica was to go to the amusement park with Josh, it was all she'd been talking about for days. Chloe would bet that Jessica wouldn't have minded his buddies tagging along so much if she at least got to ride with Josh. The fun in going to those parks is having someone to enjoy it with. "I'm sorry, you should have called me, I would've shown up for you."

Jess smiled at her friend. "You're a good friend."

Chloe shrugged with a smile. "Thank you," She said as she took another bite of her chicken.

"So enough about me, what'd you do all day?" Jess asked to take her mind off her shitty day.

"I watched TV and filled out some applications, then Randy showed up." She said nonchalantly.

Her friend smiled wide. "What? You invited him over?"

She shook her head. "No, he just showed up."

Jess raised an intrigued eyebrow. "Wow, what a nice surprise. So what'd you two do all day?" She asked with a wink.

Chloe rolled her eyes and threw her napkin at her friend. "Not that!"

Jessica laughed and handed the napkin back. "Hey, I don't know, you did have to the whole apartment to yourself all day."

"We just watched a couple movies and had some popcorn. Very low key," She said, though of course she was leaving out the part of them making out on the couch like a couple teenagers.

"Mmhmm, I'm sure that's all you did," Jessica said sarcastically as she stood up, bringing her plate to the kitchen to put in the dishwasher. Chloe just blushed and finished eating her food.
