Tyger was nervous as she got out of her jeep. She didn't really want to get into all this with Scott. Truthfully she was afraid Scott would be mad at her. Tyger loved him very much and her worse fear was to lose him. She knew that he had a quick temper just like her and so far she had been spared from it. Tyger dropped her keys. Mark bent down and picked them up. He stuck them in his pocket. "I'll hang on to them. The way you keep dropping things you'll lose them." He said. Tyger shrugged. Keys were the last thing on her mind. They walked into the gym area. Tyger looked around to see if Scott was down here. He and Kevin were in the ring playing with Danny showing him wrestling moves. Just great thought Tyger. She was fixing to turn and leave. Mark grabbed her arm and pulled her toward the ring. Tyger seen Jade sitting outside the ring watching. Oh that's even better she thought. Scott turned and seen Tyger. He noticed right away she wasn't looking happy. Mark stopped in front of the ring. "Hey Tyger." Scott said. "Hey." She said. "Kev play with Danny. I'll be back in a little while." Scott said. "Scott you promised you teach me some moves." Danny complained. "Well I can see you're busy. Later." Said Tyger turning and leaving. "Danny I will, but I have something to do right now." Scott said getting out of the ring. Danny started screaming. "Danny stop that right now." Jade said climbing into the ring. "He'll be alright Scott go on." Jade said. "Maybe I should just let her cool off." Scott told Mark. "If you don't after her now and talk to her now things are just going to be worse." Mark said. "She's probably already gone." Scott said. Mark held up her car keys. "She aint going no where I got her keys." Mark said. Jade had put a still screaming Danny in time out in a chair. "Time out my ass. He needs his butt busted." Mark said. "I tend to agree with you." Scott said. Scott left to go find Tyger. Mark walked over to a screaming Danny. He picked him up under his arms and held him up in the air. Danny's screaming stopped. "Boy if you don't quit that I'm going to take you on the last ride." Mark growled. Danny looked at him. "Cool." He said. Jade and Kevin burst into laughter. Mark started laughing too. He set Danny in the ring. "Come on boy I'll show you some real moves." He said.
Scott went into the parking lot and seen Tyger kicking her jeep. He walked over. "What did the jeep do?" he asked. Tyger turned around. "Just leave me alone." She said. "Tyger come back in so we can talk." Scott said. "I don't want to." She said. "Tyger tell me what's wrong." He said. "LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!" she screamed at him. Tyger seen the change come over his face. "You can either walk your ass back in there or I can drag you. But if you yell at me again I'm going to beat your ass right here in this parking lot." Scott said in a deadly quite voice. Tyger opened her mouth to tell him to go to hell but looking at him she though better of it. She crossed her arms and leaned back against the jeep. She just stared at him. "Okay Tyger we can do it the hard way." Scott said. He grabbed her and started dragging her toward the side entrance. Tyger tried to pull away from him, but Scott was a big man she wasn't going anywhere. Scott pulled her through the side entrance and into an empty office and slammed the door. "Sit Down." Scott said. Tyger looked defiantly at him. "Don't try me." Scott said. Tyger slowly sank into the chair. "Talk." He said. Tyger just sat there. "We can sit here all night Tyger." Scott said. Tyger could see he was on the edge, very close to blowing a gasket. Still she didn't say anything. Scott felt his frustration rising. Why did she have to be so damn stubborn? "Tyger I'm about to beat your hardheaded ass!" Scott said angrily. It was all too much for Tyger all her anger and frustration and pain came flooding her at once. Tears came to her eyes. "You want to know what's wrong with me? "I'll tell you! You weren't there to protect me! You let that bitch hurt me and abuse me! She treated me like a damn dog! She beat me and hurt me! Where the fuck was you? Huh? I needed you to take care of me to love me! You couldn't be there for me but now you can be there for some kid that aint even yours! That's fucked up Scott that's real fucked up. I hate you!" She screamed at him. Tears were running down her face. She felt like she couldn't breathe because her emotions were choking her. Scott anger melted away. He pulled Tyger over to the couch and sat down. He pulled her against him. Scott wrapped his arms around her as she cried against him. "My poor baby, you've kept this locked up for so long." He said. Scott just held her and rocked her as she cried. After a while her crying stopped and she just lay there against him. "Don't hate me Scott." She said. "You're my baby girl, I could never hate you." Scott said kissing her on top of the head. Relief flooded Tyger he didn't hate her. "You should I'm a horrible person." She said. "No your not. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you Tyger." Scott said. "I know it wasn't your fault. I'm just so mad and shit. I can't help it." She said. "Tyger it's normal to feel anger. I do too. I'd like to go choke that bitch to death for keeping us apart." Scott said. "I don't hate you. I'm sorry I said that." She said. "I know baby." He said. "Tyger look at me." Scott said. Tyger lifted her head to look into his dark eyes so like her own. "I Love you more than anything or anyone. If you want me to stop seeing Jade I will. You come first." He said. Tyger knew he meant it. "No. I don't want that. This is my problem. Not yours." She said. "No it's ours. I don't want to do anything to hurt you." Scott said. "I'm not blind. I know you love her. I wouldn't ask you to do that." She said. "Tyger I'm not willing to lose you." Scott said. "Your not. But I got to work through this stuff for myself. I promise no more scenes and I wont act like a fool when there around. But I can't change the way I feel right now. I wish I could." She said. Scott sighed and realized there was no quick fix for her. "Just promise me you'll talk to me and not shut me out." Scott said. Tyger hugged him. "I promise." She said. "I got to get to work. I'm going to find Mark and get my keys." She said. Scott nodded. They got up and went to the gym. Mark was in the ring with Kev and Danny. "Hey Mark I need my keys." Tyger said. Mark jumped out of the ring. He could see she had been crying. He gently pulled her to him and hugged her. "You Okay?" he asked. "Yea." She said and kissed him. He handed her the keys. "What time will you be home?" he asked. "Around 5:00AM." She said. "Want me to walk you to the jeep?" he asked. "No. I'm fine." She said. She turned to Scott. "I'll see you tomorrow daddy." She said giving him a fierce hug. Scott held her tight for a moment and let her go. "Later guys." She said and left. Kev jumped down next to them. "Is she okay?" he asked. "Yes and no. She's carrying around a lot of pain that's not going away over night." Scott said. "She'll be okay Scott it's just going to take time and patience." Mark said. "Mark I was wrong about you. Tyger is lucky to have someone who cares about her so much." Scott said. "No, I'm the lucky one." Mark said.
Jade was giving Kev and Dana last minute instructions about Danny and his bedtime and such. "Don't worry Jade, he'll be fine." Kevin said. Jade smiled. "I guess I'm acting like a mother hen." She said. She bent over and gave Danny a kiss. "Be good Okay?" she said. "I will mommy." Danny said grinning at her. Scott gave Danny a hug. "See ya big guy." He said to Danny. "You guys got my cell if you need us." He said "Yes. We do. Go on you two have a good time." Dana said. Scott and Jade left and went down to Scott's truck. He opened the door for her and shut it behind her. Scott came around and got in on the driver's side. "Well beautiful. What ya want to do?" he asked. Jade just looked at him. She knew what she wanted to do but couldn't say it. Scott saw the passion in her look. Scott took hold of her chin. "Jade I want you. But before we act on what we feel you should know I'm the kind of man that won't give you up once I have you. I want you forever not just for one night. I'm stubborn, hardheaded and sometimes a jerk. But I will love you and cherish you forever if that's what you want." He said. "That's what I want Scott." She said quietly. He leaned over and kissed her. "I'm going to take you to your place and make love to you all night." Scott whispered in her ear. He took her hand and put it in her lap. She gasped when she felt his hard on. "That's what you do to me baby." He said. He kissed her once more and started the truck. Jade just prayed they hit green lights all the way home.
