A/n: Hi guys! Happy MIOBI Monday! They better not cancel the show, I'm already dieing without it. Anyway on with the show...
Kaylie took a deep breath before walking into the Rock. She could feel the tension in the air when she spotted Sasha staring at the door. Sasha nodded his head towards his office and walked away from Lauren on the beam. Kaylie quickly glanced at Austin; he grabbed her hand for a quick squeeze. The pair walked up the metal stairs, closed the door behind them, and faced Sasha.
"Sasha I—," Kaylie tried to explain.
"Save it. I don't need to hear any excuses. You are both on probation. That means the gym and your separate homes only. If I get so much of one word that you are together you will both be suspended."
"Sasha, Kaylie did nothing wrong and she is living with me at the moment," in that instant Austin knew he said too much.
"You mean to tell me that Kaylie is not living at her house and is instead shacking up with you?" He turned to Kaylie. "Do your parents know about this?"
Kaylie shook her head. "I haven't seen my parents in two weeks."
"Sasha is this necessary? She did nothing wrong."
Sasha scoffed, "Nothing wrong, huh?" He turned the computer monitor towards them. On the screen were Kaylie and Austin and their steamy make out session. Kaylie swallowed and nervously glanced at Austin, then to the floor, avoiding eye contact with Sasha.
"So I kissed her, I'm sorry, but there is no reason to punish Kaylie."
"Austin, I do so admire your chivalry," Sasha said sarcastically, "however there is no place for it in my gym. Kaylie broke the no dating rule. End of discussion. Get out there and train. Oh, and since you came late you can stay till 9:00 tonight."
"Yes, Sasha," Kaylie and Austin droned before half sprinting down the stairs. They waited till they were completely out of sight to talk to each other.
"Austin, what are we going to do? I can't go back to my parents. I don't have anywhere else to go."
"I know. I'll figure something out. But for now, go train your heart out and show Sasha you're ready for World's." Austin cupped Kaylie's face. "I love you.
"I love you too." Kaylie turned on her heel and walked towards vault. She had to land this perfectly since Sasha was watching her every move. She moved onto the runway and took a deep breath. She sprinted full speed towards the vault, executing a roundoff, hitting the spring board, and with all her strength, did a Yurchenko 2 and a half. She landed it perfectly.
Kaylie turned towards Sasha and when he nodded approvingly, she gave herself an internal hi-five. She smiled at Austin and winked before sprinting down the runway again.
"Cole, you gotta help me man," Austin said through his cell. "Kaylie needs a place to stay."
"I'm sorry man, but I don't think Veronica would be to happy if there was a hot little gymnast prancing around my pad."
Austin laughed, "Seriously? Veronica, that tramp that banged that waiter on her cruise last month? Dude, c'mon, I need your help."
"He was a bartender and she was drunk. What happens if she doesn't find a place to stay?" Cole asked.
"She has to go back to her parents or she can stay with me and get kicked out of the gym. Either way her Olympic dream is crushed and as former Olympians we should know how hard she works."
Cole sighed. "Fine. She can stay with me. You owe me Tucker."
"Thanks man, I owe you big time. See you later." Austin hung up his phone just as Sasha came around the corner. "Austin, what are you doing?" Sasha asked.
"Uh.. tightening my grips."
"Really, in the storage closet?" Sash asked, smirking.
"Yeah, I, um, my grips tore and I came in here to see in there were some in here. See," Austin raised his hands, "I found some."
"Carry on."
Austin walked out of the room calmly, then once he was outside the door he exhaled a grateful breathe. He made a run for the annex where Kaylie was practicing her new beam routine, away from prying eyes. "Kaylie, guess what?"
Kaylie stopped what she was doing and hopped of the beam. She crossed her arms. "What?"
"I got you a place to stay. With my friend Cole, he's an Olympian too, so you won't have to worry about getting in the way of your training."
"Oh Austin, that's great, but what about getting to the rock?"
"I ordered your car to be picked up from your parents' house. All you need to do is focus on training."
"Austin, thank you so much, I don't know what I'd do without you."
She wanted so badly in that moment to kiss him but she heard the booming British voice coming towards the annex. Austin ran over to the high bar, to look like he'd been working out. All that Kaylie and him could share was a look and the feeling of wanting before Sasha Belov entered the room, severing the moment of privacy.
A/n2: I have a feeling Cole will become a big part in this story, though I'm not sure yet ;) As always don't forget to review!
