Shot in the Dark

Chapter Five

Two things were certain for me when I woke up. One,I was 100% in love with my job. And two,I had completely fallen for Jonathan Good. I rolled over just as I felt a tap on my leg. I looked up,seeing Jon holding a new key card. "Thank you." I groaned. I got up,putting on my shoes. "Want a ride to the next city?" He asked. "Don't you ride with the guys?" I raised an eyebrow. "We have plenty of room for one more." He smirked. "I'll consider it." I smirked,as I walked out. I got into my room,pulling out my jeans and a tank top. I quickly showered,throwing on my clothes,and my romeos. I did my hair in a low pony tail,and light make up. I packed up my room,grabbing my bags,leaving the key in the room. I turned around,and bumped into a big,tall tattooed man. "You ready?" Joe asked. "Jon send you?" I raised a brow. "Maybe." He smirked,grabbing my bags from me. I sighed,following behind him. "You look nice by the way." "Thank you,Joe." We reached the car,and Joe started putting bag in an empty trunk. "You made it!" Jon smiled,holding his arms wide open. I threw a small bag at his chest,causing him to quickly catch it with a cough. "Yeah,sure did." I smiled. "Are you riding with us,or them?" Brie asked me. "Some tall,half bald jackass sent some very large Vanilla smelling Samoan up to my room to kidnap me. So I guess I'm riding with them." "Hey!" They both piped up. "What? I'm not wrong. You are tall,and losing your hair,and he smells like Vanilla!" "Do not!" Jon shot him a look,and sniffed him. "Dude!" Joe shoved him. "She's not wrong." "Galina packed it for me before we broke up. Jesus!" Brie,Nikki,and I let out a laugh. "Get in the damn car!" He pouted. "Oh Joe. I'm sorry." I laughed. "We will see you there." The girls smiled,getting into their car. I jumped into the back seat,banging my head on Jon's. "Watch it." I growled. "Someone is salty." Seth said. I thumped him on the back of the head,and he looked back at me very offended. "How's that for salty?" Seth and I eyed each other,and Jon smirked. "Enough ladies. Jesus,this is going to be a long ride." Joe laughed,putting the car in drive. "As long as twinkle toes back there,keeps her hands to her self,we should be fine." Seth said,crossing his arms. I licked my finger,shoving it inside of his ear. "Oh! Come on!" I leaned back in my seat,letting out a good laugh. "This is going to be a beautiful friendship." Jon laughed.

New text message from:

Best Bitch Brie

So what's the deal with you and Good?

I have no clue... I'd like to know,but I have no idea. He's kinda cute.

Y'all have got somethin' goin' on. You better jump on that.

I rolled my eyes,smiling. I clicked on her text without looking.

Oh trust me,I want nothing more than to jump on him. But I have to figure out what the hell is going on. I get around him and it's hard to breathe,and also hard not to jump his bones. I get so shy around him,it's awful. He totally makes me loose my words. He's so sweet and caring,but also a smart ass. I can honestly say I haven't felt this way about someone in a really long time.

I hit send,waiting for her reply. I felt Jon staring at me,so I looked over at him. "What,Jon?" He gave me a look that I was uncertain about. He shook his phone at me,looking at mine. I picked mine up,seeing that I had just sent him that and not Brie. I closed my eyes,taking a deep breath. I took a screenshot,and sent it to Brie.

I fucked up!

Brie:

Oh my GOD! I'm dying! What did he say?!

NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! HE'S STARING AT ME!

I'm sorry,Love. I'm not laughing at you. But this is gold.

Ugh. I'm going to try and sleep my way out of this one. I'll see you there..

I threw my phone into my pocket,turning away from Jon. Just as I closed my eyes,I felt the car come to a stop. "Anyone hungry?" Joe asked. "I'm starving,I thought you'd never feed me." Colby pouted. "You're always hungry. You're worse than a teenage boy." I rolled my eyes. "Pipe down,twinkle toes." "Make me." I growled getting out. Colby went to get out,and I pushed his door shut on him. "Ugh!" He groaned. A small smile appeared on my face as he got out. "You two are killing me. Just another hour,and we will be there. Jesus." Joe smiled. "I'm sorry Colby." I gave him a side hug,and he smiled at me. "Twerp." We both laughed. I took a deep breath,as we were seated. "Booth or table?" The waitress smiled. "Booth." "Table. Please,a table." I rushed out. "You got it." She smiled,leading the way. The guys gave me a weird look as we sit down. "When she comes back I would like a large order of chicken strips and tater tots. Extra ranch. I need to go make a phone call." I excused myself. I leaned up against the brick wall,pulling out my phone.

"Hi baby girl." "Is that pipsqueak?!" I heard in the background. "Sure is."

"Hey Dad." I sighed.

"I know that sigh. What's wrong?"

"Do you remember how you told me not to fall for anyone while I'm here?"

There was a long pause followed by a sigh. "Who is it?"

"Jon." I said simply.

"It could either go really well,or really terrible. I'm not telling you to go for it,but I'm telling you to proceed with extra caution."

"Okay Dad. I will. Sorry to bother you. And tell Roddy I said hello,give everyone my love."

"You're never a bother. And I will,short stack. I love you."

"I love you too,daddy." I hung up,going back in for my food.

I walked back in,digging in. I ate quickly,and finished my water. The waitress brought our bills to us. I waited for mine,but it never came. I walked up to the counter,smiling at her. "Excuse me,miss? Can I have my bill please?" I asked. "That gentleman put it on his tab." She smiled,pointing at Jon. I walked back over to the table,tossing money his way. "I can pay." I said. "I know you can. So can I. A lady doesn't pay for her meal." He pushed the money back my way. "Well,she just earned herself a nice tip then. Thank you." I huffed,walking out. "Are we missing something?" Joe asked. "No." Jon sighed. We all got back into the car,taking off. We had about 15 minutes left in our ride,and I couldn't wait to get out of the car. My phone started ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hey Lexy. It's Randy."

"Hey Randy!" I smiled. I instantly felt six pairs of eyes on me.

"Yeah,about 30 minutes?" "Perfect,sounds good. Bye!" I smiled,hanging up.

"What fellas?" "What did Orton want?" Joe growled. "Just to catch up over some coffee." "Hmm." Joe said. "You guys have something to say?" I growled. "No." They all said. "Didn't think so. And not like it's any of your guys's business,but he's just a family friend." I snapped. We pulled up to the hotel,and went to check in. "No,that's impossible. Check again,please." There was no way I didn't have a room. "I'm sorry ma'am. But there isn't a room in your name." "Well,check under our names." Colby said. "Oh,yes. There it is. You're paired with these fellas." She smiled,handing me a key card. "Wonderful,thank you." I groaned. I walked up to our room,throwing my things in my room. "I'll be back later." I said,as I walked out the door. I walked down to the lobby looking for Randy. "Hey kiddo!" He smiled. "Hey!" We got a table sitting down. "How has life been?" I asked. "It's been alright. After my divorce,life kind of got better. Seeing my daughter has gotten harder,but It's okay. How about for you?" He smiled. "It's been crazy busy. I haven't had much time for anything." We talked for what seem like hours before we were interrupted. "Lexy,is that you? Oh my goodness,hey." Jon and Colby smiled sitting down. "You don't mind,do you?" "Actually I do." I growled. "I'm sorry,Randy." "Hey,no worries. Let's do this again." He smiled. "I'd love to." He gave me a smile,and walked away. "I can't fucking believe you two!" I got up,and walked away,getting in an elevator. They ran in after me,going into the room with me. "What were you two thinking?!" I yelled. "What did I miss?" Joe walked in. "It was just COFFEE!" I hissed. "Oh no. You two didn't." Joe groaned. "We did." Colby snickered. "FUCK you two!"

I walked into my room,slamming the door.
