Ch 6

Katelyn opened the door to her room surprised to find the lights were off.

"Wade?" she called out getting no response. She went through the suite finding it just how she had left it. She picked up her cell seeing there was a text from Kelly looking for Chris. Katelyn quickly typed a message letting Kelly know Wade was still out too. She tossed the phone on the night stand knowing calling Wade was a waste of time he never answered when he was out drinking. She took a shower checking her phone one more time surprised to see a message from Randy thanking her for her card and wishing her a good night.

"Mr. Orton, you are definitely not the person I thought you were," she said texting him back good night. She climbed into bed hoping sleep would come quickly so she wouldn't think about Wade's hesitation about them moving in together.

Katelyn was half asleep when she heard the door open followed by rustling around a few hours later. She rolled on her side watching Wade stagger in. He stripped down to his underwear getting into bed wrapping his arm around her.

"You still awake beautiful," he whispered against her hair.

"Sort of," she turned to face him trying not to make a sour face from smell of beer and cigars. "Did Chris and you go to a cigar lounge again?"

"Yes darling, only go to clubs when you're with me. Chris and I got involved in a poker game had lots of fun," his speech slurred slightly as his eyes drooped.

"Get some sleep handsome, you can tell me about it in the morning," she kissed his cheek. He nodded ok rolling over on his back pulling her against him. She rested her head against his chest. She waited till she heard him snoring deeply before getting out of bed and heading to the couch to sleep not able to stand the smell.

Katelyn tossed and turned on the couch till around six when she finally gave up on sleep. She went into the bedroom to change into her workout clothes. Wade's alarm on his cell started to go off making her jump. She glanced over at him seeing he was out cold. She grabbed his phone turning it off.

"Hey handsome, wake up," she caressed his face gently shaking him. He didn't respond till she shook him harder for a few minutes.

"Huh? What's wrong? Are you ok?" he opened his bloodshot eyes.

"I'm fine and nothing is wrong. Your alarm went off. Did you have plans with Chris to work out?"

"Yeah, I'm not going too tired. Can you let him know?" he sleeply asked as his eyes stared to shut again.

"Sure big guy, I'll call him then I'm going for my run," she kissed his forehead.

"Ok Katy I'll be here when you get back. I love you baby," Wade kissed her before rolling onto his side falling back to sleep. Katelyn picked up her cell calling Chris.

"Hey, bet you didn't sleep much either. I hate when they go to those stupid cigar lounges. Your brother reeked like a brewery. I made him sleep on the sofa," Kelly answered his phone right away starting her complaining.

"You know those two when we don't go the cigar lounges are first on their list for hanging out. Wade is still sleeping it off so he won't be working out this morning."

"Chris isn't moving either. Maybe we should go with them from now on."

"We will figure it out next time they go out. I'll give you a call later. I'm going to take a run on the beach."

"Ok, call me when you get back maybe we can wake the bums up for a late breakfast," Kelly suggested.

"Cool, I'll be in touch. Bye Kelly," she hung up quickly pulling her hair up into a ponytail seeing it was three minutes to seven. She hurried out the door. The moment the elevators door opened to the lobby she saw Randy sitting in a chair reading the newspaper. A smile formed as she approached him and he put the paper down checking his watch.

"Good morning Katy, you are two minutes late," he grinned.

"Good morning, better late then not showing up," she commented back making him nod in agreeement.

"True, so how did you sleep?" he asked as they headed out towards the beach.

"Next question please," her smile turned to a frown.

"Why won't you answer my first question?" he stopped her as they neared the beach.

"I didn't get much sleep. You got your answer can we run now?" she snapped not wanting to talk about why she didn't sleep.

"Sure Katy, don't get moody towards me I didn't do anything," Randy dropped the subject seeing the way she tensed and her tone changed. He gave her a hurt look before starting to slowly jog.

"I'm sorry for getting bitchy," she caught up to him jogging at his side.

"Its ok," Randy glanced at her for a moment. "So why didn't you sleep?"

"Wade came in around 2. He was at a cigar lounge. I can't stand the smell of cigars so I slept on the couch," she said as Randy tried to hide the delight he felt when he heard she slept alone.

"He should've been the one sleeping on the couch. Are you sure you feel up to a run?"

"Yes, I'm fine," she quickened her pace not wanting to talk about Wade anymore. Randy matched her pace. They ran for an hour not talking much. Randy slowed their pace down halfway back to the hotel.

"Are you in a rush?" he asked stopping. She shook her head no knowing Wade needed a few more hours to sleep the booze off. Randy smiled sitting down on the sand patting the spot next to him. "Are you going back home after Raw?"

"Yes, I have to check in on things at work."

"Is Wade going with you?"

"He has some promotional work to do then he will come see me. Why?" she asked stretching her legs.

"Just curious, I want to get to know my new friend better," he smirked looking into her eyes.

"What are you doing over the break?"

"I'm going to visit my family been a few weeks since I stopped to see them been busy with work. Will you be traveling with Wade next week?"

"I'm not sure I have to see how far a long I get with orders."

"Do you mind if I keep in touch till I see you again?" Randy asked searching her eyes.

"I don't mind. I still can't believe I'm hanging out with you. You are so different than what I thought."

"You give me no reason to act like a jerk. Just different with you don't know why," Randy shrugged looking away from her at the ocean.

"If people see how nice you're being to me going to ruin your reputation."

"I don't give a damn what others think."

"Do you care what I think?" she softly asked surprising herself for asking what she was thinking. Randy turned looking into her eyes again.

"I do care Katy," he answered without thinking. "We should head back to the hotel," Randy felt uncomfortable he didn't like letting anyone in and he just let his guard down with her without any hesitation. .

"Are you ok?" she asked when he offered his hand pulling her up.

"Yeah," he put on his sunglasses not wanting her to see how much she was getting to him. They walked in silence back to the hotel. Katelyn felt the shift in his mood and didn't understand why. The cold expression on his face bothered her. She wanted to say something but bite her tongue. When they neared the hotel, Katelyn grabbed his arm taking him by surprise. She couldn't stay silent anymore.

"Randy, I'm sorry for upsetting you. I had no right to ask you that question," she said wishing she could see his eyes behind the sunglasses.

"You didn't upset me," he insisted.

"Really?" she reached up taking his sunglasses off seeing the pain in his eyes. "You're lying."

"I'm not Katy," he grabbed the sunglasses putting them back on.

"Yes, you are when you're ready to admit it come find me," she walked off leaving him speechless. He felt the pull to go after her but he fought it.

"Women are nothing but trouble," Randy mumbled under his breathe storming into the lobby. He froze when he saw her getting on the elevator. Her eyes met his and the sadness he saw made the pull stronger. "Damn it you're not going to get to me Katy. You're not free and I don't want drama with Barrett. What the hell was I thinking trying to be friends with her?" he looked away fighting the feelings he never felt before begging him to be unleashed.
