Ch. 32
Katelyn and Randy enjoyed the rest of their escape together before returning to the road for the shows. Katelyn was hanging back at the hotel while Randy went to meetings and did his run through. She was going through work email when a priority email came in from her business partner Melissa.
"How in the hell did this happen?" Katelyn asked out loud reading the email about how a bunch of material and supplies deliveries were canceled. She fired off a quick email saying she would get right on it. She called her first supplier and almost dropped the phone when the customer service representative informed her that the person who canceled the order said they were her and had all the account information.
"It wasn't me. Someone is pretending to be me. I need this account shut down and new one opened up. I need that order immediately," she said feeling her pulse quicken trying not to think of all her customers that would be devastated if their dresses weren't done in time. It was the same story with her other four suppliers that someone saying they were her had canceled all orders. Katelyn spent hours trying to fix the damage and get things delivered as soon as possible. She didn't even notice the time till Randy walked in.
"Katy, why aren't you ready to go? I only have a little bit of time before I have to get back to the arena," he asked sitting on the bed next to her.
"I'm sorry I was trying to avoid a major disaster. All my supply orders were canceled by someone pretending to be me. They had all the information for all my accounts. I'll be quick I'll be ready in two seconds," she said shutting her laptop jumping off the bed. Randy caught her hand pulling her onto his lap wrapping his arm around her.
"Relax sweetheart, where you able to fix everything?"
"Yes, I think so. I'll double check everything tomorrow morning. Also have to find out who is pretending to be me," she sighed feeling overwhelmed for a minute till she felt Randy pull her closer. She buried her face against his neck taking comfort in being close to him and feeling safe.
"We will deal with it tomorrow before the show," he said running his fingers through her hair. "Go get dressed sweetheart."
"I'll be right back," she kissed him deeply before grabbing some clothes and heading into the bathroom. Randy had a very uneasy feeling that her canceled orders were just the beginning of chaos. He thought for a minute taking out his cell dialing Wade's number.
"Hey Randy, what's up?" Wade answered sounding too happy for Randy's liking.
"Do you want to have that drink tonight after the show?" Randy asked watching the bathroom door hoping he could get the call done before Katelyn came back out.
"I had something come up not working the shows this week. I can do next week after Raw."
"That works."
"Cool, I'll stop by your locker room after the show," Wade hesitated for a moment. "So have you crossed paths with my lovely ex?" The moment Randy heard the question his body tensed. He quietly left the room going into the hallway.
"Yeah, she is quite upset someone decided to screw with her business. You wouldn't know anything about that would you?" Randy asked hearing Wade sigh.
"Oh poor Katy sounds like her idiotic partner strikes again. If you see her again, give her my best and remind her I'm only a phone call away. I have to run. See you next week," Wade hung up before Randy could say another word. Randy silently cursed feeling the anger consuming his soul.
"What are you doing out here?" Katelyn asked opening the door. "Are you ok?"
"Yes, I thought I dropped my sunglasses out here then remembered I left them at the arena," he said motioning for her to go back in the room. "Are you ready to go?"
"No, we are not leaving yet," she said as he closed the door.
"Katy, I'm going to be late come on lets go," he started to grab her coat and purse.
"You're going to be very late if you don't tell me the real reason you were in the hall," she stared up into his eyes seeing how anger he was.
"I'll tell you later," he took her hand surprised when she pulled away. "This isn't the time to be a brat."
"I'll throw the temper tantrum from hell if you don't spill it," she said making him smirk and come closer to her.
"Why do you have to be so beautiful when you're being difficult? I can't hide anything from you, can I?" he softly said running his fingers slowly along her cheek. "I just had a chat with Wade. He claims he has nothing to do with your work problems but I think he does. I plan to find out next week after Raw when we have drinks with him exactly what he is up to," he leaned down kissing her softly. "That's why I'm pissed off, can we go now my beautiful brat?" he whispered kissing her again.
"I wouldn't have to be a brat if you just told me things right away," she caressed his face looking into his eyes.
"We will work on your bratty issue and my hiding things issue when I'm not in danger of getting chewed out for being late for work," he laughed kissing her deeply. "Come on let's get to the arena." She didn't protest when he took her hand leading her out of the room.
"Are you nervous about meeting him for drinks?" Katelyn asked as they got into the car.
"My only worry is controlling myself from hitting him. Just so you know I will not hit him first no matter how much he pushes me but if he hits me I'm unleashing my temper on him," he said glancing at her relieved to see she wasn't upset by what he said.
"I understand you have to defend yourself."
"Katy, stop worrying it's a week away. Everything will be fine," he took her hand bringing it to his lips kissing it softly. "We are in this together, right?"
"Of course Randy, you're stuck with me," she smiled making his heart warm.
"Lucky me," he kissed her hand again making her smile even more. When they arrived at the arena, Randy was taken by surprise when Katelyn wrapped her arms tightly around him resting her head against his chest when they got of the car. "Are you ok, Katy?" he ran his fingers through her hair.
"I feel very lucky too. I love having you in my life and spending so much time with you," she softly said looking up into his eyes.
"I'm not going anywhere. I love being with you too," he smiled kissing her deeply. She happily sighed against his lips kissing him back till they got lost in one another till they heard a car door slam making Katelyn jump. "Silly it's just a door, come on time for me to get to work," Randy kissed her lightly before taking her hand leading her into the arena never looking in the direction where the slamming sound came from. Wade watched the couple disappear feeling the anger and hatred for Randy shot through his body. He went around the car grabbing his bag slamming the other car door. Seeing the way Katelyn looked at Randy and kissed him made Wade even more determined to continue on with his plan to make her life completely miserable.
