Ch. 20

Randy didn't like how quiet Katelyn was being as they waited for their baggage to be unloaded at the airport.

"Not happy to be in Wisconsin? You can think of it as a mini vacation," Randy draped his arm around her.

"Sounds like a dream vacation having Chris watch over me like a hawk and lecture me about what I should do next," she rolled her eyes.

"Is that your way of asking me to hang out with you when I'm not working or is it a hint you want me to take you on a real vacation?" he grinned watching a smile form on her lips.

"Will you have time to hang out with me?" she asked.

"I'll make time Katy," he kissed her lightly. She didn't say a word just wrapped her arms around him nestling against his chest while they waited till the luggage finally appeared. He kept a tight hold on her as they made their way to pick up the rental car.

"Do you want to call Chris?" Randy asked when they were finally on the way to the hotel.

"I'm just going to text him that we arrived. I'll call when I'm settled in. I'm not anxious to hear my lecture," she sighed texting Chris.

"It won't be that bad. He is just worried about you."

"I know he is a good big brother for the most part. After our Dad passed away, he went through a very overprotective phase for about a year then simmered down. I never want him being like that again," she said getting quiet for a minute missing her Dad.

"Were you close to your Dad?" Randy asked.

"Yes, he was always there for Chris and me. He was the best. I still catch myself dialing his number to ask his advice or just hear about his day," she waited till Randy stopped at light then showed him the last photo taken of Chris, her Dad, and her at the golf course.

"I actually saw him at a few shows even talked to him. I never knew he was Chris's Dad. He was a really nice guy had quite a sense of humor," Randy thought back to the couple times he talked to her Dad at the shows.

"He was always making jokes or teasing," Katelyn smiled as the pulled into the hotel. The valet opened her door. She headed into the lobby with Randy close behind her.

"Katy, I'll check us in," Randy lightly grabbed her arm.

"I can't stay with you. As much as I enjoyed spending the last two nights with you, I'm not up to dealing with Chris. He is going to give me another lecture about not rushing into another relationship so soon," she softly said.

"Especially with me," Randy frowned.

"Please don't get upset, I don't care what Chris says. I'm just not up to the drama right now. I'm sorry," she reached out touching his cheek.

"You don't have to apologize. I knew it was too soon to let Chris know about us. I booked two rooms," he leaned down kissing her forehead. He took her hand guiding her to check in line. "By the way they are adjoining rooms," he whispered making her smile. It didn't take them long to check in, when the elevators doors shut Katelyn took Randy by surprise with a long kiss. "What was that for?" he whispered kissing her again.

"For being such a sweet caring guy," she smiled caressing his face. He didn't say a word just held her close kissing her passionately till the elevator stopped. They found their rooms at the end of hallway. He opened hers first then went into his. Katelyn had already unlocked the door between the rooms. He dropped his bags going into her room.

"I'm going to have to head over to the arena soon. You should call Chris see where he wants you to meet him," Randy sat down on the couch pulling her next to him.

"Is there a way to confirm Wade isn't going to be at the show? He may have changed his mind and come here," she felt her nerves start up.

"Call Chris, I'll find out," Randy caressed her back. Katelyn called Chris while Randy typed a text message.

"Hey, are you here?" Chris answered right away.

"Yes, I'm at the hotel. Where are you?"

"I'm at the arena about to walk into a meeting. Can you catch a ride with Orton here or do you want me to send a car for you?"

"I'll come with Randy," she said winking at Randy.

"Cool, call me when you get here and don't let Randy go running off. I want to talk to him," Chris said making her shake her head.

"You better be nice."

"Why would I be an ass to the guy that just took care of you and somehow got you here," he chuckled. "Calm down I'll see you soon sis."

"What's wrong?" Randy asked as she hung up.

"He is at the arena and wants to see both us," she couldn't hide her nervousness about what Chris may say. She didn't want him being rude to Randy.

"Oh well that's no big deal. I just checked with Hunter and Wade isn't scheduled for tonight or tomorrow. He said Wade had an emergency had to bail out of the shows. There is nothing to worry about just relax," he smiled pulling her close. "You have a date to go on tonight."

"Really? With whom?" she leaned back looking into his eyes.

"A meanie that isn't allowed to pinch you anymore but who is still allowed to ..," he paused giving her a sexy grin, "tickle you," he ran his fingers along her sides and stomach making her laugh and squirm.

"I have to find a way to ban that too," she grabbed his hands.

"Another bet or game?" he asked not even trying to get free from her.

"We should play golf again," she smirked.

"No way, not until I improve my game. I'll pick the game next time."

"We will see. We should get to the arena," she slowly let go of his hands. He returned his hands to her sides getting a big smile running his fingers slowly along her sides. "Randy, don't you dare."

"Dare do what?" he gave her an amused look.

"No more …," she couldn't finish her protest as his lips claimed hers.

"Were you trying to say no more kisses?" he whispered as she shook her head no wrapping her arms his neck kissing him deeply. Their kisses grew more heated till Katelyn gently broke away. "I know time for the arena," he deeply sighed kissing her one more time before letting her go.
