Ch. 29

When all the shows were over and it was time to return to Florida, Randy tried to hide his nervousness as they pulled up to the airport.

"Are you ok?" Katelyn asked as they got of the car.

"Yes sweetheart," he took her hand kissing her forehead.

"You seem distracted," she softly said feeling he wasn't ok. Randy took a deep breathe deciding he had to tell her what was going on.

"I have a surprise for you and I'm worried you're not going to be happy," he pulled her into the airport finding a spot out of the way.

"Why wouldn't I be happy?" she looked up into his eyes as he wrapped his arms around her waist so she couldn't run when he admitted his plans.

"Well we are not going back to Florida yet. I'm kind of kidnapping you for a vacation," he tightened his grip feeling her pull back some as confusion filled her eyes.

"I can't take a vacation at the drop of a hat. I have to make sure the shop is under control for the time I'm gone. You can't kidnap me," she stared at him.

"I can and I'm going to," he gave her a sexy smirk resting a finger against her lips before she could say another word in protest. "Chris handled everything with the shop. Kelly is going to help out for a few days while you relax with me. You know it's a done deal so my best advice if you don't want to cause a scene is accept you're all mine for next 4 days," he pulled her closer searching her eyes seeing surprise with hints of anger.

"Randy, I really don't know what to say or do right now," she whispered looking away from him.

"Its easy sweetheart," he grabbed her chin making her look at him again. "All you have to do is let me take care of you and handle everything on our vacation. Please let me do this for you, Katy." He ran his fingers slowly along her cheek. Any anger she felt towards him started to fade away. She didn't say a word just kissed him deeply making him happily sigh.

"Thank you Randy, but please no more surprise vacations," she whispered against his lips.

"You may want more surprise vacations after this one," he kissed her again giving her an irresistible smile. "Come on we have a flight to catch."

Katelyn held tightly onto his hand as they made their way through the airport. After they checked in at the gate for their flight, Randy excused himself to make a call while Katelyn went to get them coffee. Katelyn stopped for moment she couldn't help watching him as he slowly paced near the windows. When he smiled giving her a wink, she felt the powerful butterflies take over.

"My biggest surprise will always be you Randy," she thought not able to stop smiling as she headed to get coffee. She was lost in her thoughts waiting for her coffee order.

"Katelyn!" Wade's voice made her jump. "I'm so happy to see you. How are you?"

"I'm fine," she softly said.

"Where are you doing here? Are you traveling with Chris?" Wade looked around not seeing Chris or Kelly.

"I stopped to see him taking a business related trip," she tried to be civil not wanting to cause a scene.

"Do you have time to have a coffee with me before your flight?" Wade asked giving her his best smile.

"Sorry I don't," she said relieved to see her order come up. "Bye Wade."

"I hope to see you again Katelyn," he moved aside letting her pass noticing she had two cups of coffee. "She must be traveling with Chris and just didn't want to tell me," Wade said under his breathe deciding to follow her. He tried to keep her in sight as she weaved through the crowd. Katelyn looked back a few times not seeing Wade behind her.

"What's wrong?" Randy asked the moment she returned noticing how nervous she was.

"I ran into Wade," she said making Randy instantly tense up.

"Did he follow you?" Randy asked protectively putting his arm around her while looking around not seeing Wade.

"I don't think so. I kept checking didn't see him behind me."

"Forget about him, he isn't going to ruin our trip," Randy said as she wrapped her arms around him resting her head against his chest. "Katy, it's going to be ok," he kissed her forehead looking around one last time before leading her to a row of empty seats where he had best view of people coming through terminal. The time till their flight started boarding passed very slowly as Randy kept a vigilant watch for Wade while trying to distract Katelyn. He was relieved when he saw they were about to start boarding.

Wade silently cursed himself not believing he had lost track of her. He walked up and down trying to find her for over an hour. He checked the time seeing he was about to miss his flight. He turned to head back to his flight when he saw Katelyn going through the doors to board a plane. Confusion and intense heartache tore through him when he saw Randy not far behind her.

"No! I didn't see that," he rubbed his eyes walking away then turned around to see where the flight was heading. "Time to take a trip to San Diego," Wade mumbled under his breath determined to find out what was going on between Randy and Katelyn hoping it was just a coincidence they were on same flight. He made a call on the way to swap out his tickets to someone he hoped would help him find out where Randy was going in San Diego.
