Ch 4

"Huh? Girlfriend? She's your girlfriend?" Melina interrupted making Johnny cover her mouth.

"Sorry she speaks without thinking sometimes," Johnny apologized hoping the rage building in Wade's eyes wouldn't come in their direction. Wade didn't say a word just stared at Randy seeing he was speechless and looking very nervous.

"How long have you two been together?" Melina pushed Johnny's hand away. Johnny deeply sighed wishing she would shut up.

"It's been about two years," Katelyn answered running her fingers along Wade's chest trying to settle him down.

"How come we've never seen you at the shows? Everyone thinks Barrett is single," Melina kept asking questions.

"Wade likes to keep his personal life private. Around the time I met Wade, I was in the beginning stages of opening up my own bridal shop and salon. Now that it's up and running I've been traveling with him more over the last few months," she said as Wade broke his stare with Randy.

"My friends have known all along about this beautiful lady," Wade pulled her close as Chris and Cody nodded in agreement.

"Mike, why didn't you tell me she was Wade's girl?" Randy exclaimed glaring at Mike.

"He didn't know just because he is one of my best friends doesn't mean I tell him everything," Cody spoke before Mike could say a word.

"Chris is my big brother and I don't tell him everything," Katelyn smiled making a silence fall over the table.

"So you're not only Wade's girl but Jericho's sister?" Maryse softly asked as Katelyn nodded yes. "Oh Randy you have no hope give up the money."

"Shut up!" Randy stormed off making everyone laugh.

"Guess he didn't like the surprise," Kelly chuckled looking around the table. "So who is up for another round on me?" They all nodded yes as Kelly ordered.

"Thanks baby," Katelyn whispered in Wade's ear.

"Anytime angel," he kissed her softly.

"I'll be right back. I want to tell Mickie and Trish what happened," she glanced at her friends craning their necks to see.

"Ok Katelyn," Wade kissed her letting her off his lap. Katelyn made her way through the crowd noticing Randy stewing near the bar. She stared at him for a moment feeling a slight pang of guilt for giving him a taste of his own medicine. She shook her head remembering the bet. She filled Mickie, Trish, Edge and Ted in on what happened. They all had a good laugh.

"Why don't you guys move up and join us?" Katelyn suggested.

"Sounds good," Mickie grabbed Ted's hand leading him that way.

"Are you coming?" Trish asked over the music.

"Yes, tell Wade I'll be right there," Katelyn said as Trish nodded ok and went with Edge to join the others. Katelyn watched them go then looked up seeing Wade was deep in conversation with Chris. She glanced over at Randy seeing him swig down another shot. "Why do I feel bad? He is a jerk and made the bet," she murmured about to walk away when she huffed. "I can't believe I'm going to do this," she whispered heading over towards Randy tapping his shoulder. He turned giving her a confused look

"What the hell do you want?" Randy asked.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Hold on let me get another drink before you insult me more," Randy went to raise his hand surprised when she covered it stopping him. "Now you want to touch me," he rolled his eyes looking away from her.

"Randy, I'm sorry for embarrassing you but you deserved it."

"Why did I deserve it?" he asked turning on the stool to face her.

"You hit on me to win a bet. You were going to use then toss me. You treat women like shit its time someone taught you a lesson," she said seeing the cocky smile start to form on his face.

"Well congratulations you taught the jackass a lesson go get all the praise from your friends," he stared into her eyes.

"Randy, don't be like that. You may have lost the bet but you can still win respect tonight," she didn't move when he stood up towering over her.

"I don't give a damn about that. Go back to your boyfriend," Randy raised his voice slightly.

"Come with me," Katelyn said stunning him even more.

"What? Why? So I can watch you and Barrett make out more? No thanks," Randy went to walk away.

"Randy, stop," she grabbed his arm. "I really am sorry let's call a truce. Please come back to the table and I promise we will behave. Everyone thinks you're a stuck up jackass. Why don't you surprise them all and take your loss like a man?"

"Why do you care what I do?" Randy asked moving closer to her.

"I don't I just thought you might want to surprise them all and be the bigger man," she stared into his eyes. "Never mind sorry I bothered you," she brushed past him.

"Wait," Randy grasped her hand pulling her back. She didn't say a word just looked up into his eyes letting him see her disappointment. "I'm sorry for what I did and for the rude things I said to you. We should have never made that bet and I got what I deserved. So if I come back with you, are you serious about no more showing off with Barrett?"

"Yes, we will all just hang out. I'm sure you'll get some more ribbing. Can you handle that?"

"Yeah I'm used to it," Randy looked up at the table seeing everyone laughing and having a good time.

"Come on put your cocky side to rest for one night," she gently nudged him smiling.

"Can I sit near you?" Randy smirked making her shake her head.

"Fine, come on," she laughed motioning for him to follow her. The moment Melina saw Randy returning with Katelyn she elbowed Johnny. The rest of the table turned their attention to Randy.

"Here you go," Randy took the money out handing it to Wade.

"I don't want it. I just wanted to teach you a lesson," Wade pushed it away.

"Are you sure?" Randy asked.

"Yeah, if you want to do something buy the next round," Wade grinned as Katelyn grabbed a chair putting it next to him then sat down on his lap. Randy motioned for the waitress giving her money for another round before sitting down in the chair. He was surprised how no one else said a word and just went back to talking about work. Randy sat back drinking his beer listening to the conversation while stealing glances at Katelyn. He couldn't help noticing how quiet she stayed not saying much as Wade talked endlessly with Chris. For a moment he thought he saw a glimmer of sadness in her eyes, then she blinked and it was gone. Randy felt the urge it get to know Katelyn better; he just wondered how he could go about doing that.
