Ch. 15

Katelyn woke up feeling Randy's head resting against hers and his arm still tightly around her. She couldn't help smiling when she opened her eyes seeing he was holding her hand resting against his chest.

"How am I going to move without waking him?" she thought wondering if he was a light sleeper or not. "Oh well guess I'm not moving," she closed her eyes listening to his heart beating. She relaxed against him deciding she wasn't going to try to figure out why Randy made her feel so comfortable she was just going to let the moments happen. She lightly fell back asleep.

Randy slowly opened his eyes an hour later grinning when he felt Katelyn still against him. "It's not like she could have snuck away from me anyway," he thought realizing how tight his hold was on her. He slowly moved his arm trailing his fingers along her back till she stirred against him.

"Good morning Randy," she softly said.

"Good morning," he ran his fingers through your hair. "I hope I didn't hurt you," he loosened his grip on her hand.

"You didn't. I definitely wasn't getting away from you during the night," she smiled.

"Did you want to?" he curiously asked.

"No, I didn't," she softly said. "Do you want coffee?"

"I had an idea but before I get to that can you answer a question for me honestly no silly answers?"

"Sure ask away," she looked up at him.

"Would you have gone to Vegas?" he asked searching her eyes.

"No, I wouldn't have. I just wanted to see his reaction to prove he wasn't serious about marriage just playing more games," she answered him without hesitation. "Do you have any other questions?"

"Not right now, thank you for answering," he smiled feeling better that she had finally answered the question that had been bothering him for hours.

"No problem, so what is your idea?"

"If you don't have plans today, we could go out to breakfast then to the movies or beach. We can figure it out over breakfast."

"I don't have plans just have to make sure everything is ok at shop before we go," she liked the idea of spending more time with him instead of burying herself in work.

"The only catch is I have to go back to my hotel so I can get a shower and change. I was hoping you would just come with me then can go to breakfast," he looked into her eyes seeing a slight hesitation in them. "Are you ok with that?"

"Sure, give me a bit to shower and change. I'll call the shop on drive. I'll be right back," she slowly moved away him heading into bedroom. Randy leaned back against the couch listening to her rummaging around before the sound of the shower filled the room. He reached for his phone checking his emails answering the ones he needed to. He checked his calendar realizing that early tomorrow morning he would have to hit the road again. He felt a sadness he never felt before at the thought of leaving Katy.

"She is just a friend. She is just a friend," he softly whispered over and over trying to stop the feelings brewing inside of him.

"Are you talking to yourself or do you really hear voices in your head?" Katy asked as she came back into the room hearing him mumbling.

"Already being a smart ass without any coffee," he sat up smiling at her. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yes unless you weren't finished your conversation I could give you a few more minutes alone," she teased him.

"Keep it up Katy once I have some coffee I'll get you back."

"Should I be scared Mr. Orton?" she asked as he stood up coming towards her.

"I may turn into a meanie then you'll boo hoo. I wonder if you're ticklish," he smirked making her laugh.

"Hmmm never know I may or may not be," she grinned getting her purse.

"Guess I will just have to find out soon," he said making her shake her head no as she made sure all the doors were locked up before opening the door to the garage. "Katy, can you grab a swimsuit? In case we do decide to go to the beach."

"Sure I'll be right back," Katy went back into her bedroom while Randy checked on his phone for the perfect place for them to go after breakfast. He wanted to find a place to help her relax and take her mind off Wade. "I'm ready," she returned with a bag and her spare garage opener.

"Let's get going," Randy took the bag from her opening the car door for her. He put her bag in the back putting on his sunglasses as he got into the car. She put the garage door opener on his dash hitting it open.

"I'm going to call the shop," Katy said as she took out her cell seeing missed calls and voicemails from Wade. Chris had also texted her asking if she was ok. She deleted Wade's voicemails without even listening. She quickly responded to Chris letting him know she was ok and would call him shortly. As Randy pulled out of the driveway, Katy hit the opener closing the garage door before making her call. Neither one of them noticed Wade sleeping in his rental car across the street.
