Tyger was leaving work to head home. She went to get in the truck and seen Kevin leaning on it grinning. She gave him a hug. "Hey short stuff." Kevin said returning the hug. "Miss me?" he asked. "Did you go somewhere?" she asked grinning. "I didn't even notice you were gone." She said smiling up at him. "You wound me." He said grabbing his chest. She started laughing. "I may have missed you just a little but." She said. "That's better." He said. "Your dad wants you to follow me over to the wrestling school. He wants you to check the place out." Kevin said. "Okay." She said. "But before we do let's go have a cup of coffee together." Kevin said. She looked at him and shrugged. "Okay." They turned and headed back fro her place. Tyger went and got them a coffee and found a table in the corner. "So what's up?" she asked. "You tell me. Scott said you were moving in with us." Kevin said. "What? You got a problem with that?" she asked. Kevin rolled his eyes. "No short stuff I don't. But I know how you feel about Mark. I didn't think we could blast you out of his place with a stick of dynamite." Kevin said. "Don't matter how I feel. Mark doesn't feel the same way." Tyger said. Kevin wasn't going to argue with her he had sent the way Mark looked at her. He figured Mark was in denial. "Did he do something to hurt you?" Kevin asked. "No, don't be silly Mark wouldn't hurt me." Tyger said. "What happened?" Kevin said. Tyger sighed. "Your not going to leave me alone are you?" she said. "No." he answered. "I called him yesterday morning early and some bimbo he was shaking with answered the phone." Tyger said. "Want me to kick his ass?" Kevin asked. "NO goofy, Listen Mark has always been honest with me about us. We haven't been together for months. He told me he could be nothing more than friends with me. I just wasn't listening that's all. That phone call was a wake up call for me. He is never going to love me like I want him to. Its time for me to move on." Tyger said. Kevin took her hand. "Are you okay?" he said. "No, not really. But I will live. She said giving him a small smile. "Listen don't say anything to Scott. I don't want him upset." She said. "Okay. But if you change your mind I will be happy to kick Mark's ass." he said. Tyger laughed. "If I wanted his ass kicked I would do it my self." She said. "I imagine you could." He said laughing. "Well if you're through interrogating me, let's go." She said. "Okay." He said getting up. Tiger followed him out the door. She hoped he would keep his promise and not say anything to Scott.
Tyger pulled up beside Kevin and parked. The building was huge. They already had the sign up. Hall and Nash School of wrestling. She followed Kevin in. The bottom floor was one huge room surrounded by small rooms of to the sides. They had several wrestling rings set up in the room plus all kinds of weight training equipment. "You guys work fast." Tyger said. "Yea we want to get going on this as soon as possible." Scott said from behind her. "The place looks great." Tyger said. "Thanks wait to you see the apartment." Scott said. She followed the two to the elevator. "By the way how did you two decide who name went first?" Tyger asked. "Well I decided to let the ugliest guy have his name first." Kevin said. Tyger started cracking up. "Very funny, ya dumb bastard." Scott said but he was laughing to. The elevator stopped and they stepped out into a huge room that had been divided into sections. There was a huge kitchen area, a living room area and a dining room. The whole room had large windows. This is great." Tyger said wondering around the room She headed down the back hallway. There were two bathrooms and three huge bedrooms. "You can pick any room you want." Scott said. "Ill take the room in the middle, That way I'll be between my two favorite guys." She said grinning at them. "Yea we sort of like you too short stuff." Kevin said grinning. "I'll second that." Said Scott. "Okay Okay enough of this mushy shit." Tyger said grinning. "Let's go get something to eat. I'm starving." She said. "Did she mention food? I'm there." Kevin said grabbing his key. They all got on the elevator. "You guys pick the restaurant, I'll follow you. "Tyger said. "Okay." Scott said. "Buy the way, Daddy I need you to help me pick out a car tomorrow. The truck is Mark's I need to get my own car." Tyger said. Scott and Kevin stood the staring at her. "What?" she said. "You don't have too if you don't want to." She said looking down. "No baby I would love to, It's just you called me daddy, it kinda surprised me." Scott said. "I'm sorry. I wont call you that if you don't want me to." She said. Scott stepped in front of her. "It was a nice kinda surprise baby. Nothing would make me happier." He said hugging her. Tyger hugged him right back. "Okay guys all this sweetness is making me sick." Kevin said laughing. "Oh sorry do you feel left out Uncle Kevin?" she said giving him a hug. Scott roared with laughter. Kevin just laughed. "Bunch of nuts like us living under one roof should be real interesting." Kevin said. Tyger grabbed both there arms and they headed out of the building. She figured as long as she had these two guys nothing seemed that bad.
Tyger was lying in the bed that night when her cell rang. "Hello.?' She said. "Hey Tyger." Mark said. "Hey. Listen the reason I was calling you this morning is Scott and Kevin are moving down here and opening a wrestling school. I'm gong to move in with them." Tyger said. "You know you don't have to move out Tyger." Mark said. "I know, but I think it's for the best Mark I know you didn't mean to hurt me. But I can't sit around here and watch you date other women. I love you. I can't help how I feel." She said. "I understand Tyger." Mark said. "I aint mad at you Mark. You were honest with me from the start. I just sort of put it out of my head and imagined things the way I wanted them to be." She said. "Tyger I don't want to lose you friendship. You mean the world to me." Mark said. "You haven't. I cant imagine my life without you Mark. I want us to stay friends." Tyger said. "Good. I will be home in a week. I got some work to finish up. How bout I call you when I get in and we go to dinner?" He said. "Okay. That would be great." She said. "Well I got to go." Mark said. "Okay. Mark?" she said. "Yea Honey?" he asked. "I love you. I always will. Bye." She said and hung up. If she couldn't have Mark she would at least have him as her friend. She could not bear to lose him. She rolled over and went to sleep with memories of him to keep her warm.
