Underdog

Chapter 6

I woke up to knocking on my room door. I got out of bed and answered the door.

"Good morning beautiful." Randy greeted, kissing my cheek and stepping inside.

"Morning. When did you leave and why didn't you use the room key? Where'd you go?" I asked rubbing the sleep from my eyes.

Over the past few weeks I've been getting a lot of recognition at work, Carmella and I are now a tag team, we've been dubbed The East Coast Baddies by the fans. We've earned many opportunities and we're on our way to a 4 way storyline with Mandy & Sonya, the Kabuki Warriors and the IIconics. Everything has been pretty good over the weeks for me, Ali not so much. Randy has been attacking him for weeks, for reasons he claim is what he's being told to do but I think he's enjoying it. We had our MITB payperview and Ali was scheduled to win the MITB briefcase, then the night of there was a script change and they gave it to Lesnar instead. We're about a week away from Extreme Rules and there's a Triple Threat Tag match on the preshow with Mella & I, the Kabuki Warriors and Sonya & Mandy.

Also in those weeks, my relationship with Randy came into the public eye. Some paparazzi caught us out site seeing and having lunch one day. Instead of going through the whole denial part, in response Randy posted a picture of me on his Instagram one night we went to dinner captioned with heart eyes.

"Maybe like an hour ago, I went out and got you breakfast. And because I forgot it." He said placing a bag of food and coffee on the coffee table.

I walked over to the table, grabbed a coffee and sat down.

"What's on the schedule today?" I asked, taking a sip of my coffee.

"Just traveling." He said, having a seat next to me.

"Okay, when do we leave?" I asked grabbing a cream cheese bagel out of the bag.

"We don't need to leave for like another 3 hours but whenever you're ready we can go." He replied, wrapping his arms around me and kissing my head.

We sat in comfortable silence, relaxing while I ate my food.

"So we leaving or waiting?" He asked.

"Well I need to shower still and I have something I want to do." I said finishing my bagel and cuddled into his side.

He looked down at me with a smile.

"So you gonna go shower?" He asked.

"Mhm." I nodded giving him a quick kiss on the lips before getting up and walking to the bathroom.

I took a quick shower, also giving my hair a quick wash. I got dressed in a simple pair of black spandex shorts and a black sports bra. I gathered my things, then Randy and I headed down to the car.

"You want me to drive or..?" I asked as he put our suitcases in the trunk.

"Nah, I'll drive." He answered to which I gave an okay.

I got into the passenger seat, he got into the driver's and started the car. We drove off and began driving to our next destination. Or so I thought.

A few minutes later we ended up at the mall. Randy parked the car and got out. He came around to my side and opened my door.

"Where are we going?" I asked and he put his hand out for me.

"Come on." He said as I took his hand and got out of the car.

He shut the door, grabbed my hand and we walked inside the mall.

"So what are we doing here?" I asked as we strolled around the mall.

"I just needed to grab a few things. Maybe if you find something you gotta have, we'll grab that too." He answered.

"I don't think I'll need anything." I shrugged.

"Well I'm getting you something." He insisted.

I sighed knowing there was no use in rejecting.

"Fine. I could use some white jeans." I gave in.

"Maybe some shorts too." I looked over at him, seeing a cheeky grin spread across his face.

I nudged his shoulder and he chuckled.

We walked into one of my favorite shops. I began to look through racks and tables of clothing. Randy ended up straying away to the cashier counter. I saw him hand something to her.

He turned and made his way back over to me, looking at his phone.

"Hey, I have to make a quick phone call. Pick out whatever you want, I gave the cashier my card. Be right back." He spat out in one breath before kissing my cheek and exiting the store.

I pursed my lips and pondered for a minute. I brushed it off, reassuring myself everything was fine. I shouldn't overthink it.

I turned back to continue shopping. I ended up with 3 new pairs of jeans, 2 tops and 2 pairs of shorts.

Once the cashier checked me out, she passed Randy's credit card back to me.

"Your boyfriend is so sweet. I wish my boyfriend did things like this for me." She expressed.

I smiled in response as she handed my shopping bag to me. I pocketed the card and took the bag, then exited the store. I looked around and couldn't find Randy.

I pulled out my phone and texted him.

Where are you? -Gia💕

My phone rang.

Randy 😍💕 would like facetime...

I answered.

"Hey where are you?" I asked.

"Damn. Even beautiful on facetime." He spoke, making me blush slightly.

"But I had to grab something. Meet me in the food court. We'll grab some food and then get on the road." He continued.

"Okay." We ended the call and I walked to the food court.

I waited for about 2 minutes before Randy showed up.

"I thought you had to pick something up." I reminded him.

"Hm?" He raised an eyebrow.

"You said you needed to pick something up and that's why we came here."

"Oh. Oh yeah. I couldn't find it. I'll just find it online or something." He replied.

"I can help you find it. What is it?" I offered.

"Nah don't worry about it. We gotta get back on the road soon. Let's grab some food for the road and go." He said, taking the shopping bag from my hands.

He led me to a pizza place where we got in line. I began to think. I'm more sure that I'm not overthinking it, he's acting weird. I began to worry. What if he's cheating again?

I didn't want to think it but I couldn't keep my mind from going there. I needed to talk to Ali.
