Chapter Fourteen

Payson and Austin had barely any time to spend together, after their date. The rest of the week they were at the gym preparing for National Team practice that was looming ahead. Banners had to be put up, mats cleaned, paperwork finished, combined with the helping national team members prepare for the practice, there was no time for Austin and Payson to think of anything but the Rock.

Payson walked up the stairs that led to the offices, carrying two big boxes. She couldn't be happier that the last two banners had come in with a week to spare.

"Austin," Payson sat down the boxes on the office floor. "The last two-" Payson stopped in the mid-sentence as she realized that the person sitting Austin's chair wasn't him. It was the one and only Sasha Belov. "You are defiantly not Austin."

"Is that anyway to great you old coach?" Sasha asked.

Payson didn't know what to say; it seemed like though to her that Sasha was planning on acting like he had only been her coach. "No, I just didn't know you where coming. The National Team practice isn't until next week."

"I was just checking in to make sure that everything is going to be ready for the practice." Sasha responded. "The Rock looks a lot different now with all the renovations, you and Austin have made."

Sasha was right; the Rock looked completely different from when he coached. It had front desk in the lobby area, a study room for the gymnasts, two offices, a main gym, a little gym area for little kids, a gym area devoted for men, and an annex. "Yes, it does, I guess." Payson looked away from the old coach. "Do you happen to know where Austin is?"

Sasha nodded, "He said something about Mindy and Eliza being up to something."

Payson sighed, "Again?" Mindy and Eliza had been up to something since they had come back from Nationals. "It's nice seeing you Sasha, but if Mindy and Eliza are up to something, Austin is going to need back up."

Sasha could tell that Payson was more than glad to leave him; he really couldn't blame her though. He knew it was best for him to act as they were just coach and gymnast, even though that would irritate Payson. It would irritate her even more when she realized that he had move on so quickly and had settled down to start a family.

Sasha couldn't help but smile at the thought of his a wife and little boy. The thought of his family, made him realize how much of a mistake it was from him and Payson to have had a relationship. The relationship with him and Payson didn't have a future at the time, or even the possibility of having a family.

Sasha looked at Austin's desk. It was noticeably bare, besides stacks of paperwork like his had been when he was single. The only two other things on Austin's desk a computer and desk organizer, that was very unorganized. The only thing he could make out clearly on it was a picture of Austin Tucker and Payson Keeler.

...

"Drew!" Payson yelled, as she walked across the gym towards the vault. "Have you seen Austin, Mindy, or Eliza?"

"I saw Austin heading to the annex," Drew began, "Who I think was looking for Mindy and Eliza."

"Thanks Drew." The blonde coached sighed heading to the annex.

As soon as she walked into the annex, Payson saw Mindy and Eliza climbing up the ropes with Austin standing by the bottom of them.

"Ten more." Austin said sternly.

"Austin," Payson walked next to Austin, looking the girls climb further and further up the ropes. "Why in the world are you making them climb ropes?"

"Easy, they won't tell me what they are up too." Austin explained.

"How do you even know there up to something?" Payson asked.

The only sound in the room for a second was the heavy breathing of the gymnasts. "They where standing next to the national team banner that list all the members' names with a sharpie."

Something clicked in Payson's head. "Girl's what where you two going to right next to Audriana Butler's name?"

The two gymnasts looked at each other surprised the Payson had figured out what they were planning on doing so quickly.

"We didn't get that far." Mindy answered as she began to climb down the rope. "Austin caught us before we could think of anything to write."

Austin and Payson exchanged glances. "Okay girls, I won't make you finish out your punishment." The two gymnasts slid carefully down the ropes, and ran off to practices before their coaches could change their minds.

"Did you know that Sasha is in your office?" Payson looked at Austin.

Austin nodded, "He was waiting at the door when I got here this morning. I think he could be more insane now than he was we coached us."

"Probably." Payson muttered, as Austin wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close to him. "This is going to be a long day."

"So," Austin began. "I am guessing you don't want me tell you that your mom invited is over for dinner tonight?"

Payson stared at Austin. "Why didn't she call me?"

"Let's face it Pay, she likes me more." Austin joked; Payson playfully shoved him. "Jeez, Keeler that hurt." Austin rubbed the spot where Payson had shoved him.

"What do you want me to kiss it make you feel better?" Payson batted her eyelashes, Austin nodded. Payson leaned close to his face, "Too bad." She said as she slowly walked away from him.

"I am guessing I can call your mother and tell her yes then."Austin yelled towards Payson's retreating figure.

...

Payson regretted ever telling her mother that she and Austin were dating. The second she had gotten back up to her office Payson checked her phone; she had over five missed calls all from her mother.

Payson clicked on Kim's last voicemail and listened. "Payson since you haven't called me back, I am just going to call Austin, to see if you two want to come over tonight."

Payson sighed, putting her phone down; she heard a knock on her door. "Come in."

The door opened to reveal Sasha. Payson just looked at him. "I won't be long I promise." Her old coach said, closing the door.

"Sit down, Sasha I am not going to bite." Payson instructed.

Sasha sat down in the chair in front of Payson. "I just thought we chat."

"What are you doing here, Sasha?" Payson asked bluntly. "Because, I am pretty sure that it's not to chat."

"I told you," Sasha began. "I making sure that the Rock is ready for the practice."

"Well," Payson paused. "As you can see everything is ready, you are free to leave."

Sasha didn't get up as Payson expected him to. "I also wanted to make sure that you where fine working around me."

"You are not the only one that moved on Sasha!" Payson bellowed. "I may not be married with a kid, but I've moved on a long time ago."

"Then how did you know that I was married and a kid, Payson?" Sasha questioned.

"You sent my mom a wedding invitation, and I think maybe a birth announcement, for your son." Payson looked down at her desk. "You did the right thing Sasha; we were not meant for each other."

Sasha nodded, "I'll guess I'll see you next week then?"

"Yes, of course." Payson responded as she watched Sasha slowly get up and head for the door.

"Austin's a lucky man," Sasha looked back to Payson, before opening the door. "Austin," Sasha said surprised to see him behind the door.

"Are you heading out?" Austin asked a disturbed look on his face.

"Yes, I was just going to find you." Sasha paused. "Everything looks wonderful; I can't wait for the practice next week."

Austin nodded, "Yes, I'll see you next week."

"Bye Austin, Payson." Sasha said slowly leaving the office.

Austin closed the door, his eyes were dark and lips pressed into a thin almost frown like line. "We need to talk Payson."
