Kayla stretched and came awake. She sat up. The sun was already up. She had actually slept past 4:00am. She smiled and got up and made some coffee. She remembered how kind Mark had been to her last night and smiled. Mark was turning out to be so sweet. She drank her coffee and decided to go down to the house and make some breakfast. Maybe Mark would want to go swimming again today or take her for a ride. Then she remembered his girlfriend would be arriving today. Well forget about that she thought.
Kayla fixed her some sausage biscuits and sat down to eat.
"Who are you?"
Kayla looked up and seen a perfect beautiful blonde woman standing there. She was tall and slim with a perfect body. She had blue eyes that looked at Kayla with disdain. Kayla stiffened up immediately and became defensive.
"Well who the hell are you?" Kayla asked giving the woman a nasty look.
'Kayla is that any way to introduce yourself." Mark said sharply.
Mark had just walked in of course he didn't hear his girlfriend or see the nasty look she gave Kayla.
"Cindy this is Kayla that I told ya about." Mark said.
"Well hello Kayla, nice to meet you." Cindy said in a sickening sweet tone.
Just then another woman walked in the kitchen. She was blonde and blue eyed too only shorter than Cindy.
"Cindy brought her friend to keep her company, this is Amber." Mark said.
She looked at Kayla the same way Cindy had. Kayla got up.
"I'll clean up this mess and get out of your way." Kayla said.
Mark looked at her. It was obvious she wasn't comfortable.
"Amber you'll have to entertain yourself for a couple of hours; me and Markie got some catching up to do." Cindy said giggling.
Kayla burst out laughing she couldn't help it.
They all three looked at her.
Was she the only one who thought Markie was totally pathetic, this woman was stupid? She didn't seem real high in the food chain. Kayla just sighed and put up the dishes.
"Later." Kayla said and left.
Cindy grabbed Mark's hand and led him to the stairs.
"Come on lover, I want some of the big boy." Cindy said smiling.
Mark grinned and followed her upstairs.
Kayla spent most of the day in her room writing. She had seen a writing contest in a magazine and decided to enter it. The first prize was 500 dollars. She might win, you could never tell. She took Champ out for a walk at about 5:00Pm. She was passing by the back of the house and she heard moaning and screaming. At first she thought something was wrong and then she turned red in embarrassment. It was Cindy yelling out Mark's name. Kayla figured out they must be having sex, damn she was loud. She hurried on down to the meadow. Damn it, why did she have to have these feeling for Mark. She wanted to go rip that woman's head off. But hell look at her, she was beautiful and perfect. Kayla thought about her own looks. She was too short and she wasn't thin, she was almost muscular from working on the ranch, her hips weren't slim they were too curvy. She had red curly hair and she had those damn freckles everywhere. Kayla sighed. A man like Mark would never be attracted to her when he could have someone like Cindy. Kayla headed back to the stables. She let Champ in the room and decided to go out to dinner. No way was she going up to the house.
Mark came downstairs to get a drink. Cindy had about killed him. He got a bottle of water and looked out the back door. Kayla's truck was gone. Where the hell had she went. He looked at the time it was almost 9:00PM. He frowned.
"Hey baby what you are doing." Cindy said coming up behind him.
"I was just wondering where Kayla is this late." Mark said.
Cindy didn't like this one bit, Mark paid way to much attention to that ranch hand.
"Mark she's a grown woman, stop acting like her daddy." Cindy said.
Mark turned around and Cindy seen anger flashing in his eyes.
"This is none of your business. She's just a kid and she don't have nobody but me, don't try to interfere in my life Cindy that would be a big mistake." Mark said.
"I'm sorry Mark." Cindy said pulling him down for a kiss.
She would have to handle that little upstart in a more subtle way. She wasn't going to leave this house Friday without getting rid of her first. Cindy hugged Mark and smiled as she devised a plan to be rid of that little brat.
Kayla drove her truck behind the stables and parked. She got out and headed upstairs. She had went to the local diner and got some dinner and then went clothes shopping. She got a new bathing suit, a two piece, and got some short skirts and some midriff tops. She figured maybe Mark would notice her if she started dressing like a woman instead of a boy. She had to work tomorrow, but after work she was going to put on one her new outfits and see if Mark noticed. Kayla dropped the bags on the bed and let Champ out. She sat down on the bed. It was probably hopeless trying to get Mark to notice her but she was going to try anyway. Kayla got up and took a shower. She dried off and went and got one of the new nightgowns she had bought. It was a floral print with small purple flowers. It was short and sleeveless. She figured if she started dressing like a woman maybe she would start feeling more confident about her self. She brushed her hair and sprayed on some of the perfume she had bought. Kayla smiled. She actually felt better. Kayla fell across the bed on her stomach and turned on the TV. There was a knock at the door. Kayla smiled. She figured Mark would come down to say goodnight.
"Come in." Kayla said.
Mark opened the door and stopped. Kayla was lying on her stomach with some short nightgown on her red hair falling across her shoulders. She looked just like an angel. Kayla smiled at him
"Hey Darlin." Mark said and come in and closed the door.
"Hey Mark." Kayla said.
Mark sat down beside her.
"You look awful pretty tonight." Mark said tucking her hair behind her ear.
"Thank you." Kayla said smiling up at him.
"I noticed you were gone earlier." Mark said.
"Yea I went to town to have dinner and I did a little shopping." Kayla said.
"Okay, I was just a little worried." Mark said.
Kayla just flashed a smile at him.
"Well I guess I'll let ya get to bed." Mark said.
"Mark?" Kayla said.
"Yea little one?" Mark said.
"Will you stay with me a little while?" Kayla asked.
"Well sure honey." Mark said.
Mark moved back against the head board and Kayla turned around and went to set beside him. Mark put his arm around her and pulled her to lie against his chest. Kayla wrapped her arm around his waist and sighed. Mark stroked her back.
"Are you okay?" Mark asked.
"Yea I am now." Kayla said smiling.
Mark smiled. She was such a sweet little thing. He was glad they were becoming friends. Kayla needed him and that made him feel good. He sat and held her until she fell asleep and then tucked her under the covers. He kissed her cheek and headed back to the house.
