Ch. 14

Randy heard the commotion rushing to the hallway surprised when he saw her leaning against the door with her eyes closed lightly shaking.

"Hey, are you ok?" he kneeled down in front of her.

"I will be. That was very hard to deal with," she opened her eyes brushing her tears away. "I can't believe he did that."

"I'm shocked you asked him to go to Vegas," Randy said making her look up into his eyes.

"I knew he wasn't serious about marriage. I just wanted to hear his reaction to prove it."

"What if he called your bluff? Would you be on the way to Vegas right now?" Randy asked searching her eyes.

"He didn't call my bluff so it doesn't matter," she softly said closing her eyes again.

"But what if he did?" Randy asked again making her shake her head.

"Randy, please drop it," she whispered as more tears ran down her cheeks.

"Fine," Randy didn't like not getting an answer but he left it alone. "Come on you can't stay by the door all night," he gently picked her up carrying her into the family room putting her down on the lounger part of the sectional couch.

"Thank you," she whispered as he sat down next to her.

"No problem, are you really going to be ok?" Randy asked reaching out wiping the tears off her cheeks.

"Yes, it's been a long day I just want to forget about him," she deeply sighed. "Thank you for all your help today. You don't have to stay and deal with this mess. I can take a cab tomorrow to pick up my car."

"Are you trying to nicely kick me out?" Randy asked.

"I just feel bad. I'm sure there is much better things you could be doing."

"Yeah sitting in my hotel room watching TV alone or going out to dinner alone is so much more fun than hanging out with you," he smirked. "Just relax don't worry about me if I didn't want to spend time with you. I wouldn't have shown up at the shop this morning."

"You showed up not knowing that you would have to be deal with me falling apart over a breakup," she softly said.

"Katy, please stop. Did you have something you wanted to do tonight?"

"No just feel like being lazy and forgetting about everything. I think I'm going to order pizza and watch TV. Would you like to join me?" Katelyn asked making him smile.

"As long as the pizza has extra cheese I'll stay," he winked at her.

"No worries I always order extra cheese," she grinned sliding her phone out of her pocket to place the order. Randy flipped through the channels while she ordered.

"Want to watch Just Go with it?" Randy paused on the channel it was about to start on.

"Sounds good I wanted to see it when it was in theaters but never got the chance. I had too much work to get done. I'll have to make sure I call the shop first thing in the morning. Thanks to the mess with Wade I forgot to call and see how things went today," she sighed putting her phone on the table leaning back against the couch.

"Hey you said you wanted to forget about everything so no talk of work or the jackass that hurt you," Randy gently nudged her. "You talk about either one again tonight I'll have to pinch you or something else to help you forget."

"You won't be doing anything. I'm not going to mention either for rest of night," she wiped the last tears from eyes wishing it was as easy to get rid of the heartache. She turned her attention to the movie starting.

"I bet you'll slip at some point tonight," Randy whispered making her reach out and cover his mouth.

"Be quiet, no talking during movie," she said smiling slowly moving her hand away. Randy was happy to see her smile and relax some. They watched the movie in silence for a while till the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it," Katelyn went to stand up surprised when Randy grabbed her arm.

"You get the drinks. Dinner is on me," Randy said standing up going to the door before she could protest. He looked out the window making sure it was the delivery guy and not Wade returning.

"Do you want water, beer, soda or wine?" Katelyn asked as he returned with the pizza.

"Beer is fine," Randy answered seeing she had set plates up on the coffee table and paused the movie.

"Here you go," she handed him a beer sitting back down next to him.

"When is the last time you had a lazy night?" Randy asked as she cut the pizza putting it on the plates.

"I can't even remember the last time. How about you?"

"Last year when I was out on injury leave had too much lazy time."

"That's when you had surgery on your shoulder right?"

"Yeah, how did you know?" Randy was genuinely surprised that she knew about it.

"Chris mentioned it a few times. Does your shoulder still bother you?"

"I still go to physical therapy off and on for it. It hurts sometimes but doesn't get dislocated as much as it used to. Most of the time can pop it right back in instantly pain goes away," he said watching her cringe. "What is that face for?"

"I've seen you pop it back in during a match before."

"What match?" he asked trying to think if ever even caught a glimpse of her at a show.

"It was a house show and you were in a tag team match with Adam against Paul and Shawn. You tagged out and used the post to pop it back in. I was amazed at how well you held it together not letting anyone know how much pain you were in," she softly said.

"That was a few years ago during the Rated RKO and DX feud. Nice to know you have been quietly stalking me since then," he laughed making her smile. "So have you been at other shows watching me?"

"Hmmm maybe I have, maybe I haven't," she smirked.

"I'm thinking you have," he winked at her.

"Maybe Mr. Orton," she said turning the movie back on. Randy grinned amused that she had seen him wrestle before and been at the shows. He kept stealing glances at her as they ate dinner and watched the movie. "Am I right? Have you seen me in other matches?"

"I've been to a few other shows. I also watch the shows when Chris or Wade had matches," she said Wade's name seeing a devilish smile form on Randy's lips. "Don't you dare try to pinch me," she moved away from him to the other side of the sofa.

"Relax, does it look like I'm going to do anything," he grinned finishing his pizza looking back at the movie. "Thanks for giving up your seat lots more comfy," he moved onto the lounger stretching out and getting comfortable. "Come on, I dare you to sit next to me," he patted the cushion next to him.

"No way not taking any of your dares. I'm fine over here," she said making him smile more.

"Ok chicken don't take my dare. Do you want a pillow?" he gently tossed a pillow.

"You're such a meanie," she got up moving next to him.

"I didn't hear you what am I?" he asked pausing the movie turning towards her.

"You're a …," she was taken by surprise when he wrapped his arm around her waist gently pinching her side.

"Now you can call me mean," he laughed making her shake her head. "Do you want to say his name again? I kind of like pinching you."

"Not going to give you the satisfaction of doing that ever again," she tried to move away from him feeling his arm tighten around her. "Not going to let me go?"

"Nope, want you close in case you slip again," he grinned. "I'll tell you what since you feel I was so mean to you. I'll make it up to you by letting you use me as a pillow," he said feeling her slightly tense. "Katy, don't get upset. I was trying to relax you. I'll let you go if you want me too. I don't want to make you uncomfortable," he looked into her eyes for a few moments till she softly sighed resting her head against his chest nestling against him.

"Don't let me go," she whispered making him grin happily.

"I won't till you tell me too," he softly said kissing her forehead. He started the movie again reaching over turning off the light hoping she would relax enough to fall asleep.

Wade pulled over half way back to the hotel feeling like something wasn't right. He ran his fingers through his hair trying to understand why Katelyn wouldn't take him back.

"Her car was still at the shop. Who took her back to the house?" Wade thought out loud starting the car back up heading back to Katelyn's. He pulled up across the street from the house turning off all the lights. He looked around not seeing any other car in her driveway. He was about to get out and check the garage when a pizza delivery car pulled up. Wade watched like a hawk as the guy went up to the door.

"Who in the hell is that?" Wade exclaimed noticing right away it wasn't Katelyn answering her door. "Damn it I should have changed out the front light for a brighter one like she asked me to do over and over. Calm down, maybe Chris came to look after her," he hit the steering wheel in frustration unable to make out who answered Katelyn's door in the dim light. He picked up his phone calling Chris.

"Wade, stop calling. I'm not getting involved you screwed up leave my sister alone," Chris angrily answered.

"Are you staying with Katelyn?" Wade asked right away.

"No, why are you asking?"

"I was hoping you were in town and could help me get her to talk to me," Wade lied.

"Even if I was in town I wouldn't help you. Don't call here again," Chris hung up. Wade stared at house trying to figure who would be with Katelyn. "I need a flashlight to see if there is a car in the garage," he said pulling away hoping he could find a store close by to pick one up from. He returned an hour later parking a few blocks away. Wade looked around before turning on the flashlight and shining it into the garage. "Who is with her?" he asked seeing the car and not recognizing it. He quietly opened the back gate slipping into the backyard. He saw lights on in the kitchen and family room. As he silently made his way up the back deck stairs, the light in the family room went out. Wade carefully walked across the deck to the family room window peering in. He thought he saw someone on the couch watching TV but he couldn't tell the TV light wasn't bright enough. He was about to go around the house when he heard the neighbor's dog start to bark.

"Damn it," he quickly got out of Katelyn's yard and back to his car. "I'm not leaving here till I see who is with her," Wade pulled his car back across the street keeping a close watch on the house.
