31. Advice from a friend.


Rose woke up early Friday morning and packed her bags since they were heading back on the road this afternoon she was careful to not wake him up and left him a note on the nightstand before grabbing her shoes and sneaking out of the room she stepped on the front porch put her headphones in and took off running down the street.

The last twenty four hours had been a whirl wind of emotions and she needed time to think everything over she ran for three miles before stopping in front of a coffee shop she went in ordered a cup of coffee and a bagel sitting at a table by the window she sighed when it started to rain.

"Just my luck" she mumbled to herself.

Rose couldn't stop a few tears from sliding down her face she couldn't understand how someone who claimed to care about her and love her would set out to hurt her so bad even if he did try to stop it from happening he still allowed the thought to cross his mind she was so lost in her own head that she didn't notice someone sit down across from her.

"Well if isn't little Levesque" Randy said smiling at her

"Orton" she said wiping the tears away "What brings you to Florida?" she said smiling back at him.

"Well I had a meeting with Paul" he told her "You know normally I would just ask you what's new but seeing how John already filled me in on last night's drama I guess I will just ask what's on your mind?" he said

Rose knew she couldn't lie to him they had known each other for two long so she opted on the obvious answer "Nothing and Everything" she told him drinking her coffee.

"Look what happened last night was beyond fucked up on both Colby and Mickie's part but at least the truth is out there and you see peoples true colors so you can pick up the pieces and move on from all of this" He told her

"You know what gets me is that I don't even hate him" Rose told him "Yeah what he did was wrong but I could see it in his eyes he was telling the truth about trying to change it but I can't trust him" she told him.

"I don't blame you he did a lot of shady shit when it came to you" Randy said

"I'm sorry for all the times I blew you off for him" Rose told him

"Don't worry about it" Randy said "I mean it would have been nice to actually go on real dates with you instead of sneaking around hotel rooms but your heart wanted what it wanted" he told her "look at us now though we are at different stages in our lives I have Kim and five amazing children that I couldn't picture my life without and you have Leati" he said

"And Jo" Rose told him with a bright smile

"You know I have never seen you smile so big then you do when your around him" Randy said "Truth be told I had feeling he was always the one" Randy told her

"He asked me to move in with him" Rose told him

"Did you say yes?" he asked

"He told me to think about it" Rose said "I'm terrified Randy" she said

"Of what?" He asked

"That me and him are moving too fast and rushing things that all of this might just blow up in my face and I couldn't handle losing him if it did" she said "I have loved before but I have never loved anyone the way I love Leati" she told him

"You have to stop living in fear you of all people should know that life isn't roses and sunshine" he said with a smirk at the double meaning "It has its ups and downs but when you have someone in your life that is willing to go through it all with you that's what counts and that's when you lock on to them with a vice grip and you never let them go" he told her

"Move in with him and take the chance" he said "He isn't Colby or Phil so I don't think this is going to blow up in your face" he added.

"Thank you" Rose said standing up and hugging him "You're a great a friend" she added

"I try" he said laughing "Do you want a ride back since its pouring rain?" he asked

"I would love one" Rose told him they left the coffee shop and dashed for his suv and he drove her to the house

"Take a chance Rose" he said hugging her

"Tell Kim and the kiddos I said hi" she said climbing out of the car and taking off into the house.

Rose walked through the front door and kicked off her shoes and took her jacket off hanging it up she walked into the living room.

"Baby" Leati said jumping up and running to her "I was starting to get worried" he told her

"Sorry I ended up bumping into Orton at the coffee shop" she told him "I'm going to jump in the shower" she told him kissing his cheek and taking off upstairs.

"Do you think I pushed her to fast?" Leati asked his two friends

"No I just think her head is a tangled mess" Renee told him

Thirty minutes later Rose came back down stairs and put her bags by the door and then sat on the couch next to Leati she grabbed his face and pulled him for a kiss "I love you" she said against his lips "So much" she added

"I love you more" he told her wrapping his arms around her waist

"So what do you think about a new sectional and a different color theme in here make it feel more like our home and not a man cave" Rose said looking up at him

"Our home" he said smiling down at her

"Yes ours" she said kissing him again.
