When You're Around

Chapter 23

The minute Chloe walked into catering, her stomach grumbled at the sight of the food. Raw had just gone live and Diana told Chloe to take a break and go get something to eat. She walked toward the buffet tables and grabbed a plate and began piling it with food.

"Hey beautiful." Came a voice next to her ear. She turned in surprise and smiled when she saw it was Randy who was standing close to her.

"Hey," She said as she continued going down the line of food.

"They finally let you have a break huh?" He asked as he grabbed two water bottles, one for himself and one for her.

She nodded. "Yeah, but time has passed by quickly,"

Randy led her over to an empty table, pulling her chair out for her. "So what do you think so far? They giving you a hard time?"

She grinned. "Actually no. Everyone is really nice, I mean they're obviously very busy, but they are very friendly. And Diana, that's who is basically in charge of me, she's so sweet. She's been by my side all day, showing me everything I need to do step by step, she's very helpful."

He smiled back at her. "Good, that's good to hear."

"So what have you been up to?" She asked as she began to eat her food.

He shrugged. "Talked to John a while ago and we went over the match we have tonight. And I talked to Lindsey a little bit ago."

Chloe instantly smiled at the girls name. "How is she?"

"She's good," He paused. "And I told her about you being on the road with me." He held his breath waiting for her reaction.

Chloe looked up at him in surprise. That was a big step for him. "You did?" He nodded. "What'd she say?"

"She said that it was cool that I got you a job." They both smiled. "And she also asked why you didn't want to teach anymore." He saw her about to speak but he continued. "Don't worry, I told her you weren't quitting teaching. She understands this job is just for the summer."

She nodded and smiled a little. "So she's seems okay with it?"

He nodded. "She seems more than ok with it."

"Good, that's a big step toward actually telling her about us, I'm proud of you." She admitted.

He rested his hand on her leg and leaned forward so he could press a kiss to her lips. "Me too baby,"

"Here you go baby," Sam said as she set a bowl of mac and cheese in front of Lindsey. She watched as her daughter dug in and her thoughts instantly went to fifteen minutes ago when Randy had called. She had a feeling it wasn't just a normal conversation between the two. "So what'd your dad say on the phone?" She asked casually.

Linds shrugged and didn't speak until she swallowed what was in her mouth. "He said he missed me and that he would be home soon. He said on Friday he would take me to the zoo."

"Oh that will be fun," She said before putting a small bowl of baby carrots in front of her daughter.

She nodded. "Oh, and he also said that Chloe got a job with him, isn't that cool?" They young girl asked excitedly.

Sam's eyes instantly darkened in anger. He couldn't just listen to her for once. "Really?"

"Yeah, he said she's working with the people that write the show. I think that's so cool!"

Sam turned so her back was facing her daughter so she couldn't see her anger. She couldn't believe he had the nerve to not only ignore his wishes, but also to go so far as to get Chloe a job so she had to travel with him from now on. She shook her head as she walked over to the sink to do her dishes. She had thought she was over Randy. But ever since he's been spending time with Chloe, she was rethinking things. Maybe she and Randy could give their relationship another go. He didn't belong with someone like Chloe anyway, she wasn't his type. She knew she was going to have to take matters into her own hands. She didn't know what she was going to do yet but she knew she had to do something. She couldn't let this go on.

Chloe walked down the hall tiredly. The show was almost over and Diana had told her she could leave. She read the names on the door as she passed each one. She had no idea where Randy was. She grabbed her phone and sent him a quick text message, telling him that she was done for the day and she told him where she was.

She got a quick reply telling her he was on his way and she leant her back against the wall as she waited. She turned her head a minute later and saw Randy walking towards her, dressed in his street clothes, carrying his bag. "Hey, I thought I was going to come get you in the office."

She shrugged and smiled. "I thought I could find you."

He grinned. "How'd that work out for you?"

"Too many doors!" She whined.

He laughed and grabbed her hand, pulling her away from the wall. "Next time I'll show you where my locker room is first so you know." He pulled her against him, wrapping his arm around her shoulders.

"Sounds good."

He heard her tired tone and caressed her shoulder. "You tired?" He questioned.

"Mmhmm," Was her reply. After they reached the car, Randy helped her into the passenger seat before getting in the drivers seat and pulling away. Once they reached the hotel, Randy noticed she had already dozed off. He shook her a couple times to wake her and once she did, they walked into the hotel, Chloe slumping against his side sleepily.

"Alright, we're here." He said as he pushed open the hotel room door. Chloe walked right to Randy's bed and collapsed on it. "Hey, that's my bed," He said as he held open the connecting door that led to her room.

She opened one eye and pouted at him. "I don't want to move again.

Randy chuckled and nodded. "Ok, we'll swap beds for the night." He said as he took off his shirt and pulled down his pants.

"Just sleep here with me." She said.

He raised a surprised eyebrow. Though they had had sex several times, they'd never spent the night together. "You sure?" She nodded and patted the spot beside her.

He climbed into bed beside her and pulled her close to him. "Night."
