Yeah Randy was a bad boy letting her thing he was down on his luck like that, but at the same time it also showed him what sort of person she is, the start of their friendship is her wanting to do something nice for someone else in the spirit of the season to make sure that at least for one night he has a hot meal and a warm place to sleep. For Randy it's a shock that someone wants to take care of him instead of just holding their hand out and wanting something from him.

Hopefully you see more of Kaelen's nature and Randy's reaction to it in this chapter, the cheeky Kaelen at the end I put down to the alcohol and also me wanting to show how strong Randy's resolve is to get things right this time.

I hope you will all enjoy this chapter as always I do not own any of the characters you recognise and being English I searched on line to see what the typical American Christmas dinner was if I have got it wrong I can only appologise for not doing my research as well as I should have done.

Randy

I woke up knowing that it was Christmas morning, my arms wrapped around a warm body making me smile to myself since it was Kaelen's warm body that was snuggled up against mine. I was really glad that I had asked her to spend the holiday with me, and even happier that she had agreed to it.

I had spent a lot of my time off hanging round Jim's shop, catching up with my old friend, but mainly so I could see more of the woman who had been so sweet to me, and that I was beginning to have feelings for. After the break-up of my last relationship I knew that I wanted to take things slowly before getting involved again, however this beautiful lady was a complete one eighty from my ex. Where she wanted anything and everything Kaelen wanted nothing from me more than to be my friend, I suggested going out to dinner one evening, she suggested we buy the food and she would cook, though she did ask if we could use my kitchen. It was great, she had no expectations of what I could do for her, she seemed to just enjoy my company, and I certainly enjoyed hers. We went window shopping in one of her breaks and though she liked some of the pretty things we saw, she never once hinted for me to get her anything, in fact half the time she winced over the prices, and questioned how they could charge that much for things.

Originally I was going to spend Christmas with my folks, that was however until I found Kaelen would be alone for the day. She had, had invites from both Rhea and Callie to spend the day with them and their respective families, but turned them both down, Christmas was a time for families she told me with a smile, like she did not want to intrude on their time even though they would have been happy to have her. I have to admit I agreed with her on that it is a day for family, however I fudged a little and even though my parents had asked me to spend the day with them I told her I would be alone too. Then I suggested that we spend the day together since we would both be alone. I was overjoyed when she accepted my invitation, if only because I would get to taste more of her cooking, something she was very good at. I wished I could have my daughter for the day too, but she would be spending it with her Mom and her new man, and since she had custody I had to make do with spending most of Christmas Eve with her. Normally I would have taken her out for a meal but Kaelen had cooked something for me to heat up for us, so I was able to enjoy my privacy with her.

Kaelen had arrived while I was out on Christmas Eve running some last minute errands, and been let in by my housekeeper, an older lady whom I employed to freshen the place up once a week while I was on the road, and again after I had been home. She had popped by to make sure I had everything I needed and I had asked her to wait in for Kaelen when I gave her, her Christmas gift which she had kindly agreed to do for me, which left me free to run my errands.

By the time I got home my house was filled with the smells of cooking, and I found Kaelen in the kitchen getting the turkey ready to cook for the next day, and making cookies, she had found an old book my Mom had given me with the recipes she used for her Christmas cookies and the smell brought back memories to me, of our family Christmas's when I was young.

Once she had finished the preparation and taken the cookies out, they tasted as good as I remembered them being, we had eaten the meal she cooked for us and then lazed around watching a movie and taking. Her gifts had joined mine under my tree, the Christmas lights reflecting off the wrapping paper, giving a nice homely feel to it all. Then once the movie finished, I had checked the locks before we had come up to bed.

There had only been one night out of the four that I had been home since that night I took her to RAW that we had not been together, one night at hers and two here at mine. At hers we had to share a bed since she only had the one, here we shared because she seemed to like snuggling up with me, and I sure loved being snuggled with her, it was weird in one way, we were in bed together and I had not even had a real kiss with her yet. I had kissed her on the top of the head and on the cheek but our lips had never even so much as brushed against each other's. However it felt very natural and right sleeping beside her, something that had just happened really, we had not planned on it, it just seemed right to both of us for her to sleep in my bed with me when she was here.

I felt her move slightly in her sleep, and became aware of a slight problem between my legs, waking up with a beautiful woman in your arms will do that to you I guess. Sighing and knowing that it was time to move I dropped a light kiss on her tussled hair and un-wrapped my arms from around her before sliding out of bed. I stretched wincing a bit at the few aches and pains that seemed to be there most days, before grabbing my clothes and heading to the bathroom to get washed and dressed. I stripped off the boxers I had slept in and threw them in the hamper, before heading into the shower.

By the time I was done in the bathroom and returned to the bedroom to dress I was more comfortable and I could see Kaelen was stirring. I pulled on my jeans and a jumper before I headed off down the stairs to get the coffee on and think about breakfast. Mom always used to make pancakes for us on Christmas morning so that it had over the years, become one of those Christmas traditions, today Kaelen had promised to make them for me, so my mouth was watering already at the thought of them. I smiled seeing her gifts from her friends under my tree, the guys had got her a few things too, it saddened me that there was nothing from her family, apart from her Dad who had passed she did not talk about them, but I had my own gift for her which I hoped she would like.

I had just poured my first cup of coffee, when the door opened and Kaelen walked in, looking adorable in a Christmas jumper and jeans her feet pushed into a pair of slippers.

"Good morning, and merry Christmas." I told her smiling at her.

"Good morning, Merry Christmas Randy." She replied eyeing my coffee as she said it, so with a smile I handed her my mug and poured myself another one, she loved her first cup of coffee in the morning, she took it from me inhaling the aroma before taking a sip with a happy sigh, I could not help laughing at how adorable she looked and she pouted at me before smiling at me.

We stood there side by side enjoying our drink, and then once she was done, she put her mug down and started pulling things out to make us pancakes, she also set the oven to heat so that it would be ready to slide the turkey she had got ready the day before in there in a little while. Before long the welcome smell of breakfast filled the air, so I got out plates forks and syrup to go on the pancakes. She deftly served us both with a smile, before we sat there eating in a quiet companionable silence. I had just finished my own plateful and was wondering about stealing some of Kaelen's, thinking about if it was worth risking getting stabbed by her fork when I heard the door open and to my surprise I heard my Mom call out to me.

"Randal honey where are you, are you sure you want to spend the day here on your own?" Her voice came down the hallway, and I knew she and Dad had used their key to let themselves in.

I smiled at Kaelen seeing the frown on her face at my Mom's words, busted I guess, oh well, I got up, heading out to see her and my Dad, I should have guessed they would not leave me without at least coming round to wish me a Merry Christmas. I met them both in the hallway giving my Mom a kiss and my Dad a hug. Mum sniffed the air as I wished them both a Merry Christmas.

"Pancakes?" She questioned me, seemingly surprised as she brushed by me and walked into the kitchen before I could say anything; she stopped short when she saw Kaelen.

The young woman was busy at the sink washing up, looking very much at home, and to my eyes very sexy. I caught the worried look on my Mom's face as she saw my friend and realised that she was thinking the worst. Dad frowned at me and I knew his mind was going in the same direction, they thought I had hooked up with Kaelen, and that there was something going on between us.

"And who would this be Randal?" My Mom sniffed in disapproval. "No wonder you were happy to spend Christmas day here, since you're not alone after all."

Kaelen turned at the sound of her voice and dried her hands on an apron she was wearing, before smiling at my parents. "Umm Mom, Dad this is my friend Kaelen, she's cooking Christmas lunch for the two of us." I said hoping this would go well. "Kaelen these are my parents Elaine and Bob."

"Hello Mr and Mrs Orton, I'm very pleased to meet you both." Kaelen said to them holding out her hand, I felt very awkward as neither of them moved to take it, needing something to do, I noticed she had a pot with lots of trimmings and stuff in it and grabbed it intending to throw the contents out for her. "Randy what are you doing." She all but yelled at me almost making me jump, as she saw what I was doing. "You put that pot down right now Mr; I want those to make the base for some soup."

I smiled at her and put the pot back. "Sorry." I told her running my hand over my head; I know how much she hates wasting anything, something I really like about her.

"No harm done." Was her reply and it was almost as if for a moment she had forgotten my parents. "There is no point in wasting good food it costs enough." Yeah that was my girl all right.

"Hello Kaelen was it? My Mom made her presence known again.

"Yes that's right Mrs Orton it's a pleasure to meet you." I watched as the two of them shook hands. "So home make soup?" My Mom went on as my Dad then shook her hand as well.

"Yes, I can add in some of the leftovers to the base later." Kaelen replied making me smile. "Randy can freeze some of it to take on the road with him, and also have some in the freezer here so he has something if he wants a quick snack when he is home."

Mom seemed okay with that but then she looked at Kaelen's jumper and sniffed again. "Is that a designer jumper?" She enquired looking over at me and raising her eyebrows in disapproval. "It doesn't look like a chain store bought one."

"Sort of." My friend replied. "I knitted it myself, my friend Rhea helped me with the design, then I put it on a grid and knitted it up, instant designer look at a fraction of the cost."

"You made it yourself then?" Dad got in on the conversation.

"Yes, I make most of my own jumpers, a bit of wool and some time, much better than spending out goodness knows how much on ones from the shops." Kaelen replied picking up the coffee pot and looking over at them. "Would you like some coffee?"

My parents smiled at her and I heaved a mental sigh of relief as they replied that they would love a cup and sat down. "Well she seems like an improvement on the last one." Dad told me quietly so that Kaelen would not hear him.

"Oh Kaelen and I aren't like that." I said hurriedly. "We are just friends; I'm not rushing into anything again." He looked reassured at that and I was thankful to see that Kaelen had not heard me either; I didn't want her to think I didn't like her in that way so that she would pull away from me or anything, I just wanted to take things slowly with her, the more I knew of her though, the more I liked her.

"I'm glad son." Dad rested his hand on my arm. "You need to find a nice girl who isn't out for everything she can get for her and her family, take your time and get to know her before jumping into a relationship."

I nodded my head, thinking that I might just have found her, at the same time though agreeing with Dad, this time I was going to take it slowly, get to know her properly before I plunged us into a relationship, that is if she wanted anything more with me than what we now had, of course I really hoped she did. I sat drinking my coffee watching as she moved confidently around the kitchen, carrying on with her preparations as she chatted with me and my parents. Though I was used to having my main meal later in the day, Kaelen had told me she was used to her main meal around oneish on Christmas day and I was happy to go along with that. I watched as she deftly plated up a few nibbles and placed them on the table in easy reach of my parents, before finishing the dishes and joining us at the table.

Soon the four of us were chatting like we were all old friends, I was happy that it felt comfortable and nice; there were no expectations on anyone's part, it was just me, a new, already good friend and my parents exchanging pleasantries on Christmas morning. They stayed for about an hour or so before making excuses to leave and I knew that they would be heading to see Nathan and Becky and their families before heading on home and spending a leisurely day of their own. Kaelen and I both saw them to the door; however my Mom stopped the pair of us in the hallway, smiling slightly as she did so.

"You have mistletoe Randal?" She asked me, and I realised that Kaelen and I were positioned under the green leaves and white berries.

I'd forgotten I'd hung it up there, more as a joke and something to catch unsuspecting friends out, than something for my own use, yet now here I was caught in my own trap. I looked down into Kaelen's pretty eyes and saw the confusion that was probably mirrored in my own.

"Come on now son it's traditional." My Dad insisted on teased me, as he saw my hesitation. "You have to kiss the girl." He and my Mom smiled at each other.

My mind was racing at a mile a minute now, did I really want to do this, I questioned myself? Part of me really wanted to taste her sweet lips, while another part cautioned that this could be too fast, I could just brush her lips with mine and that would be enough to satisfy the tradition of the kiss, or I could just full out kiss her which I have to admit I would love to do. She too seemed a little unsure as we stood there looking at each other. Carefully I reached out and pulled her into my arms, wrapping them round her slim body, her brown hair hung down past her shoulders and I longed to wrap it around my fingers as I ran them through it. I licked my lips for a moment and then bent my head to hers, she lifted her head to mine and in the end, it was she who pressed our lips together, making me glad that she was happy with this. At first it was light and gentle, our first kiss, I slid the tip of my tongue out and touched her lips asking her to open her mouth to mine. Slowly she did and the kiss took on a more intense feeling as our lips moved against each other, I felt her arms wrap around my neck one hand resting on the back of it and crushed her closer to me. It was like everything else in the universe stopped in the time my mouth was on hers, there was nothing else just the two of us and that kiss, it just felt so right.

Finally I had to lift my head so I could take a breath of air into my lungs, her eyes were closed and her lips were swollen from my kiss as I pulled back looking down at her. Then her pretty green eyes opened and I was glad to see there was no sign of regret in them as she smiled up at me. My parents had slipped away and were going out the door, obviously not wanting to intrude on our special moment. I let my long legs cover the distance to the door, pulling Kaelen along with me, and we stood there side by side waving goodbye to them as they got in Mom's car and drove away.

"So?" I said as I closed the door on the snow outside. "Presents?"

She laughed like a little girl and I was glad there was no awkwardness between us after that pretty intense moment. "Presents." She agreed and we headed to the lounge and the gifts that awaited us there.

I flicked on the switch for the fire, and we sat there by the flickering flames of the fake, real fire taking it in turn to open our gifts. I wanted to leave her present from me till last so I put it to one side and then turned to my own gifts. I got the standard stuff from my parents, Alanna and my siblings, silly gifts from the guys more jokes than anything else. Rhea had given me a hand-drawn sketch of myself in one of my typical Viper possesses, while Callie gave me a pair of boxers. John got Kaelen one of his baseball caps signed by him, and Joe, Jon and Colby got her some of my merchandise, my wristbands from the WWE shop and a rubber bracelet, my baseball cap again from WWE and one of my action figures, which made her smile. Rhea gave her a framed hand drawn picture of the two of us, that girl had real talent, while from Callie she got the present that I have to say interested me the most, a silky red short, very short, nighty with black piping on it, along with matching bra and panties. My poor friend blushed bright red opening that in front of me, I'd never even seen her in her underwear and now I was getting a glimpse of what her friends thought she would like to wear to bed.

"Do I get a fashion show later?" I teased and had the pleasure of seeing the red glow on her cheeks increase.

"Maybe." She told me putting the silky garments back in the paper and out of my sight, obviously relived when it was no longer on show.

"Here." I said handing her my gift. "Last one, this is from me I hope you like it." I had not known her long enough to really get to know her tastes, only a few days not long enough to get anything too, too much so I had settled for shopping from the WWE like the rest of the guys, I had bought her some of the different T-shirts with my various logos on.

"Oh Randy, thank you." She said holding the shirts up against her one after the other; there was a smile on her face so I felt sure she really liked them. Then she smiled as she pulled out her gift for me. "I hope you like it." She said softly as I took it in my hands to open.

I opened the small parcel wondering what she had got for me; I knew that like me she had not had much time to get anything, unlike me she also did not have much money to spend. I carefully pulled the paper away from the gift and then opened the box that was inside. On top was a key ring with a St Christopher medal on it, beneath it lay another St Christopher but this one was made to go on a chain, I lifted it up and realised it was made of silver and probably cost quite a bit. "Kaelen thank you I love it." I said a smile curving my lips.

"I thought you might like something supposed to keep travellers safe since you spend so much of your time on the road." She said looking at me. "I didn't have enough to buy you a chain too though, sorry."

"It doesn't matter." I said looking at her again thinking how sweet she was, I just hoped she had not spent more than she could afford on me. "I can get a chain, I love it, I'm glad I get to wear your gift next to my skin." I leant over and kissed her on the cheek in gratitude for her gift.

With all our presents opened, she began to tidy away the mess we had made, while I went to get us both a drink, I could smell the turkey cooking in the oven, and I had to admit the smell was making me hungry, even though the meal that Kaelen was cooking was different to what I was used to. Where we would have the roast turkey and cranberry sauce, Kaelen wasn't making the green beans almadine, Waldorf salad, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes, candied yams and crescent dinner rolls that I was used to. She was serving roast potatoes and parsnips, with boiled carrots, peas, and sweet corn, with cocktail sausages wrapped in bacon, along the gravy I would expect with our American version of the meal, she had also stuffed the bird with chestnut stuffing and sage and onion stuffing, she did say that they also had Brussels sprouts but confided in me that she did not like them, but did not bother with anything to replace them. She also had something she called Christmas pudding for dessert that she had brought form her flat, she had made some sort of sauce to go with it, though I was not sure I was going to like it, I was willing to try it.

We lazed around for the rest of the morning nibbling on some snacks and watching some TV, she kept popping into the kitchen to do something to the food so that by one o'clock I was getting pretty hungry especially with the smells coming out of my kitchen.

Soon enough we were both sitting at the table with full plates and I sampled my first ever English Christmas dinner. I was soon telling her how good it was, and found myself enjoying this different meal. Once we had done with the turkey dinner, she brought in the pudding, I have to admit I was not expecting her to set the thing on fire, which she did by pouring brandy over it and setting light to it. I almost jumped up and tried to put it out, but it soon extinguished itself and glancing over at her I saw she was smiling at me. She served me a portion of it and offered me the sauce, I tasted a small bite of the pudding, it seemed quite heavy and I understood why she had only given me a small amount of it. I added some of the sauce and decided I liked it, as something different.

I complimented her on the meal she had cooked for me, before heading into the kitchen with her to load up the dishwasher. After that was done we headed back to the lounge and sat there telling each other about things we had done at Christmas in previous years, it was a really nice way to spend the day I decided. She told me normally after dinner they used to watch a movie so we dug around in my collection and put one on, we ended up snuggled on the couch dozing slightly, as the dinner had, had a slightly soporific effect on both of us.

Once the movie was finished we decided to bundle up and head out for a short walk, when we came back we snacked on some cold cuts and other bits and pieces then lazed around a bit more. All in all it was a nice relaxing day, in the evening John called to wish us a happy Christmas, he was at West Newbury with his Mother, brothers and their families he seemed happy enough. Callie and Rhea phoned on Kaelen's cell phone later so they could wish us happy Christmas, something they had apparently planned in advance. Soon we were sitting by the fire listening to some music and I knew Kaelen was getting tired when she yawned behind her hand.

"So did you have a good day Kaelen?" I asked dropping an arm around her shoulder and pulling her into my side.

She turned her head to look at me resting her head on my shoulder and smiling up to me. "Yeah I've had a great day Randy." She told me softly. "Thank you for inviting me to spend the holiday with you even if you did already have an invite from your parents."

I smiled at that, at least she wasn't mad at me for not telling her the truth about the way I had been invited to spend the day. "I should be thanking you for cooking for me and making today such a great day." I told her.

We looked at each other and I really wanted to kiss her, however I knew that despite that fantastic kiss we had shared earlier it wasn't a good idea, not if I want to take things slowly with her.

"Do I get that fashion show now?" I teased her thinking about that sexy red nighty that she had got from Callie, though she had found a note with it that said Kaelen had chipped in to help buy it. Just because I wanted to take things slow, didn't mean that I wouldn't enjoy seeing her in that little number.

She gave me a teasing smile and I wondered what she was going to say or do. She actually lent in and kissed my cheek before smiling at me and standing up, I hoped that the alcohol we had drunk over the course of the day was not the cause of the little wiggle in her hips as she took a couple of steps away from me and then looked back over her shoulder at me before she held out her hand. I hurried to get up and take her small hand in mine, she still hadn't said a word and I wondered if she would. Silently she led me though the house so that we could make sure everything was locked up and then up the stairs to my bedroom. We had put all our gifts away earlier and I found myself licking my lips as she picked up the little ensemble from her friends and headed to my en-suite.

I undressed while she was in there, and then hurried across the hall to brush my teeth in the guest bathroom, and get ready for bed myself. Hurrying back in I heard her finishing up in my bathroom and threw myself on the bed getting comfortable waiting to see what she looked like. The light from the bathroom back lit her as she stepped back into the room. Her hair had been brushed and hung down her back and over her shoulders in soft waves. Though her make-up was gone, not that she needed much anyway, her lips were shinning and I guessed she had used some sort of gloss on them. I focused on her face first, her skin was what I had heard some of the divas call peaches and cream, pale with a pink tinge on her cheeks, her lips were full and her green eyes were sparkling in the light of the room. A small nervous smile graced her lips and I let my eyes travel down to her shoulders, which were the same creamy colour as her face and over them were the thin straps of the nighty and the bra that was beneath it.

Swallowing hard I let my eyes trace the contours of the night things she now wore, over her breasts which seemed to push at the material filling it out in all the right places. I noted the way the material shimmered as she moved taking a step towards me. It cascaded down her body, stopping just past where her pantie clad crotch was, she was beautiful and I could feel myself responding naturally to the sight of her.

I saw a frown cover her face as she took another step towards me and wondered what was wrong, then I realised she was nervous and I was just lying there drooling over her. I lifted my hand and beckoned her to come over to me, a smile on my own lips now.

"Come on over her Kaelen." I said and my voice sounded thick and deep to my own ears.

She smiled again, putting a little wiggle into her step as she move over to me and the bed. I knew she was not meaning to tease me just give me a little show, and I lay there appreciating every moment of it.

"So what do you think Randy, do you like it?" She asked reaching me and the bed, sitting down on the edge of it.

My mouth felt dry as I looked at her, wondering how the hell it was that some guy had not snapped her up long ago, still everyone else's loss was hopefully my gain.

"You look beautiful." I told her honestly. "I mean you always look beautiful but in that, it's just wow." I felt myself stumbling over my words like a teenager and did the only thing I could think of sat up wrapped my arms around her and drew her onto the bed beside me.

I already knew she fitted against me perfectly, as her body moulded against mine: I caught the faint smell of mint on her breath as I moved my head closer to hers, and my damn erection flared to life. I saw her eyes widen as she felt it pressing against her and I rested my forehead against hers struggling for some control, then throwing caution to the wind I pressed my lips to hers in what for me was a mind blowing kiss.

"Merry Christmas Kaelen, this has been one of my best days in a long time." I whispered when I finally pulled back from her sweet mouth, one of my hands tangled in her hair while the other pressed against her back squashing her breasts against my chest.

She looked at me out of smoky green eyes, as I regretfully let her go and pulled away, trying to make myself a little more comfortable, knowing that more than anything I would love to claim her as my own. She leaned in and dropped a light kiss on my cheek, before the pair of us somehow wriggled into my bed.

"Merry Christmas Randy, thank you again for a lovely day." She told me as I snapped off the light and then wrapped an arm around her pulling her against me so that her head lay on my chest.

I was still almost painfully hard, but for now I would live with it, I wasn't going to mess this up, this woman was too special for a quick fling, or to ruin things by moving too fast, this time I was going to do it right. I lay there with her snuggled against me and heard her breathing change as she drifted off to sleep. Closing my eyes I smiled in the darkness reflecting on how much things had changed for me in just a few day.

"I think I'm falling in love with you Kaelen." I whispered into the darkness, for a moment I held my breath thinking she had heard me as she whispered my name, then I realised she was just dreaming, hopefully good dreams of me, dreams that I could one day soon make come true for both of us. One thing I knew with certainty as I drifted off to sleep was that I wanted to make sure she was a permanent fixture in my life.

Well there you have it guys chapter two in my little offering, there will be some time jumps in the story rather than plodding aong from day to day, chapter three will be Rhea's point of view a couple days after Christmas.

Please leave me a review to let me know what you think of this as its always nice to get feedback on my work.
