Thanks all again.

Last time :-

"I'm sorry for what I said about you in my dairy Kai... I was just so hurt"

"I know. It hurt me to lie and leave you but I knew you would be fine" Kai kissed the top of her head.

"What are we going to do now?" She felt her heart beat pick up from her question.

Kai didn't quite know how to answer her question, he didn't know the right answer. "Right now, I'm going to take you into the shower" to her surprise he scooped her up and flung her over his shoulder and headed towards the bathroom door; Cassia just screaming and laughing.

Chapter 12

Phone Calls

Alice POV

I never really saw the fascination with beyblading. To me it was just boys shouting out commands to a spinning top. I knew it was a big sport while I was growing up but it seemed a complete waste of time and effort; until now watching Tala. His style seemed aggressive but completely controlled, his concentration on each beyblade that came shooting out the wall towards him, shattering each and every one of them. I was in complete ore of him, watching every breathe he taken and how his beyblade moved to his body language. He lived and breathed for this sport, that's one thing I was sure about.

"Your really good Tala" I said, trying to keeping my full attention on his blading and not him.

"Hn, this is just basic stuff. I could destroy all these blades in one attack" he stated with confidence.

"You seem over confident to me, if that's the case then show me" Tala turned and walked over to me. His blade spinning perfectly in the centre of the dish while 6 blades attack his.

Stopping right in front of me, locking his blue eyes with mine and smiled "Wolborg, finish this". Never losing attention from me his blade knocked each 6 blades out at once, shattering them into pieces. "Over confident you say?"

Noticing his smirk, I turned away from him and walked towards the exit "Show off" I said just enough for him to hear me.

It took Tala a few minutes before he came out the training room and back into the games area. I was sat on my iPad, looking over some e-mails and the pictures from the Moscow times interview. Tala came across and sat next to me putting my feet over his legs.

"Iv had the photos from the Moscow times interview, we need to pick some out for the spread" turning the iPad round to show him the selection.

"We have to chose one of all 3 of you, one with you and Kai, Cassia with each of you and two of her own. I like this one of you and Cass" pointing my finger to one were both Tala and Cassia are giving an identical smirk just with Tala's arms crossed and Cass had her hands placed on her hips.

Tala didn't comment just kept flicking through each photo, till it stopped on just Cassia doing a casual shot and then changing to an underwear shot. "She knows how to work a camera, that's for sure. Iv never seen someone look so amazing in photos the way she does" I said, while watching Tala expression changed.

"She looks just like our mother" I noticed a small hint of sadness in his tone.

"Il show these to Cass and let her pick which ones she likes, I know she won't be happy if I let you chose without confirming with her first" removing my iPad from him and closing it, I placed it back into my handbag. Laying back into the soft sofa I felt tired, relaxing was not something I was used to, it had been a long few days and was about to get even more busy with the fashion show coming up and then re-opening of Biovolt.

I had my eyes closed but I could feel Tala watching me carefully. He was slightly stroking around my ankle and along the lower part of my leg. "Take a picture, it might last you longer ya'know" peeping through one eye at him I saw him smirk and turn away.

I felt a slight vibration on my leg as Tala got out his phone, he took a quick look and put it down. This happened a few times until I noticed him texting.

After a few moments of silence and Tala constant texting I decided to start some sort of conversation "So, how many girls have you let down since spending all this time with me and Cass? Or can you multitask all of us?" I gave him a slight wink.

"I don't know what your talking about" He acted all innocent but I know guys like him have more hiding than they let on.

"Yeh, right. I bet you have girls begging for your attention, especially since we have been paped together for the past week"

"what makes you think it is a girl who's ringing me?"

"Well no man continually rings someone about 6 times and doesn't understand the concept of being hung up on. Only a girl would object to being ignored"

"Are you jealous?" Tala seemed pleased with himself from that comment.

"Ha, serious? jealousy is not in my nature Tala. We may have slept together but I do not own you, nor do you me. If you have somewhere to be then go, I'm sure I can entertain myself with work until Cass is ready to go home"

"If you are not jealous then why are you trying to get rid of me?"

"What makes you think I'm trying to get rid of you? You just seem to be wanted in other places, that's all" both our tones playful.

"I am always wanted for something, work, woman it's all the same"

"Arhh... So it is a woman?"

"I never said that, you are just jumping to an easy conclusions"

"I just assumed from how easily you jump into bed with woman, or so iv heard" I smirked while playing with a strand of my hair and stoking my toe along his inner thigh.

"Does that include how easy you were to get in bed with?" My smirk slightly faded. I knew that sleeping with Tala so easily could have caused me to look bad but It didn't seem to matter from how easily we got on and kept our business out of the sexual activities, until now.

I stopped and pulled my feet away from his legs "Is that what you think of me? That I was easy?"

Tala turned still with a smirk on his lips, until he saw my face; serious and insulted. "What? No Alice, I was just joking... Common" he gabbed hold of my legs and pulled me further down the sofa while he climbed on top of me pinning me down.

I gave a little scream as I did not expect the sudden change of position "what are you doing Tala, got off me" I said in a laughing tone.

"Don't you go all moody on me, you asked for that Miss. Heart. Have you not noticed every time we get our selves into this position it's because I have instigated it, not you?" I had never thought of it like that, he always flirted first and made the first move.

"Obviously I am just two delicious for you two handle" giving him a shove I pushed him off me and stood in the middle of the room a few metres away from him. "You are the first person I have ever slept with just for sex, I normally cannot see the fascination in one night stands"

"But it has been two nights now, so is isn't technically a one night stand" I rolled my eyes, watching his smirk appear.

"You know what I mean. I cannot sleep and work with you if you don't have and respect for me"

Tala got up and came across to me, he put his hands around my waist and pulled me closer to him " I have never respected any woman iv had sex with more than I do you, you fascinate me know end. Your business knowledge, loyalty to Cass and accepting all the shit we have thrown at you, all the things you know about our lives and yet your still here wanting to help us"

It took my breathe away how he complimented me. I was only doing my job and being a friend to Cass, yet he see's it as something not any normal person would do "I do not know those people you used to be, all I see is the ones now and to me you all deserve a chance to put right mistakes; even though they are not officially your mistakes"

"I was not always innocent, I wanted to take over the world with beyblading. Even Kai came back at one point, the thirst for power can overwhelm the mind when making the right decision"

"Kai came back to Biovolt?" After everything iv learnt about these guys, they keep on surprising.

"Yes, only for Black Dranzer. It was meant to be the world greatest beyblade and Kai possessed the power and knowledge to control it"

"Does Kai still have Black Dranzer?"

Tala shook his head "No, it got destroyed with the rest of the equipment that was at the Abby"

"Can you take me there, to the Abby that is?" Tala tensed at my question. It seemed to put him on edge.

"You will be able to see it in a few days once we re-open it" disappointed, I kept on pushing for him to take me. "When it is full of kids and the past events start to fade away, I want to see it as it is; before the history of it changes"

He stayed silent for a few seconds and just looked at me, his eyes trying to see through my intentions. "It is not a nice place, Alice. The information you know already is enough to scar someone, and you want more?"

Stepping closer I placed my hands under his shirt, trailing my fingers along each scar on his back. Teasing around to the front I pulled his top up slightly, revealing his toned abs and pecks "You have scars all over your body from a traumatic childhood and yet you are fine. If I didn't know you, id just assume you are a successful rich 25 year old man living a normal life, having fun"

Tala kept full eye contact but laughed slightly "Hn, which part of that is normal? Don't think you know me because the reality is you have no idea, I'm far more dangerous than you can imagine Alice" his tone threatening.

Not paying attention I leaned closer, kissing along his chest, trailing up to his jawline. I could feel his breathe harden as I scratched his scars along his chest while softly nibbling his earlobe.

Whispering, giving off a seductive tone" That sounds like a challenge I cannot refuse. Bringing out the real Tala Valkov? Shouldn't be two hard" Before he could respond I removed my hand from under his shirt and started walking towards the stairs. Tala stayed in the same position, his ice cold blue eyes watched me.

"Are you coming? Or are you going to stand there while I brake into your newly re-furbished Abby?" My back still turned away from him.

"Didn't your father ever tell you to stay away from bad people ?especially when they are telling you to keep away"

"I cannot re-call you telling me exactly to keep away, and yes he did; but he also torte me to never turn down an opportunity for a challenge, especially when the benefits are so rewarding"

Noticing his presents behind me, I took a deep breathe while feeling him close to my right ear "Do you know what happens when ice cracks underneath someone Alice?"

I slightly shook my head "You fall in the ice cold water and die" his tone more threatening than the last. "Or you can try and run, but the likely hood of you surviving is slim"

Releasing my breath slowly I started walking up the stairs "I guess it's a good job I'm a good runner then"

I didn't need to look back to know he was smirking, I could sense it. Deep down I knew there were things I shouldn't even want to know about, but I couldn't seem to draw myself away from these people. I need to know what makes them so dangerous and threatening.

End of Alice POV

General POV

Tala watched Alice walk up the stairs. Even though he threatened her, deep down he wanted her to take the challenge. The more she gets drawn in the better there chances at getting involved with her fathers company.

After a few minutes Tala found Alice with her coat on staring out the kitchen window. The light from the moon shined no her features perfectly; her short silky brown hair gleaming, the baggy sweatpants hung low off her hips slightly showing her slim stomach.

He walked across to her, and noticed the water all along the kitchen floor and water marks along the wall, rolling his eyes he continued towards Alice.

Placed an arm around her waist he pulled her into him. She did not flinch or try to remove him from her, just relaxed at his touch and dominance. Nothing was said between the two, but words were not needed. Noticing how easily she let him take hold her her, Tala relaxed his head on hers, smelling her sweet hair.

Alice was two fascinated with all these secrets and dangers they all kept mentioning and she would do anything to find out as much as she can, even make out she's falling for the Russian red head. He did take her breathe away at times but pushing out emotions was something she's gotten used to.

After a few minutes Alice was about to say something when she felt a vibration coming from behind her; 'Tala phone'. He cursed under his breathe, releasing his hold on Alice he removing the phone from his pocket, giving it a quick glance, but before he do anything Alice took the phone from his hands and ended the call. "You can deal with your girlfriend later, for now I want to go to the Abby, please?" Tala gave her a small smile and nodded to her request.

"And you can leave this here, you won't need it and if anything happens I have mine" she placed the phone on the side and pushed him towards the door.

*scene change*

Cassia was finishing up in the shower, while Kai had already removed himself; not just from temptation but to clear his mind. He knew he'd just made life even harder for him, questions running through mind he didn't have answers too.

Laying out on his bed still with just a towel around his waist he checked his phone. 6 missed calls and a text; 1 call from work, a text and 2 calls from Pixie and an unknown number left 3 calls. Kai tensed up knowing who the unknown call was from, he knew it wouldn't have been long before he heard from him again, especially now Cassia is back. After deleting the unknown number, he rang back work.

Cassia sat on the edge of the bath, towel wrapped round her body, steering into her own thoughts. Everything seem to just be falling back into place, her carrier is bigger than ever, she has shares in a million dolour company which will create more success and she had Kai back. On the surface that would be every girls dream, but deep down Cassia knows her life is never that easy.

Coming out of her thought she heard Kai talking on the phone, it sounded like business. She listened in slightly while brushing her wet wavy hair. Noticing his stressed tone she exited the bathroom still with just the towel covering her body.

Kai noticed her coming across. She laid on the bed placing her head and hand on his chest, stroking his skin. "If he cannot hold his end of the deal, then I will find someone who can and cheaper. He has 2 days before the Abby is back open; I want it finished" he put the phone down and took a deep breathe.

Cassia didn't say anything just gave him a small smile and continued to draw along his skin with her fingertips. Going back into deep thought, she started to think about her and Kai. Was this where they fall back in love? Or was it going to be like last time? One of them leave and the other heart broken.

For about 5 minutes everything was silent, both thinking and reflecting. Kai ran his fingers along Cassia hair trailing down her back, while Cass still made patterned along his chest. Breaking the silence was Kai's phone, he took a look noticing it was Pixie again. Quickly locking and placing the phone back on the night stand.

Cassia noticed his quick reaction in removing the phone from eye slight. "Who was it Kai?"

"Nobody important" Kai was not lying, Pixie was not important to him, not as much as having his Anna back in his arms.

"If it's business then take it, I don't mind" leaning over him she removed her hands from his chest and rubbed her fingers through his messy hair.

"It can wait, I just want you right now" Kai pulled her closer to kiss her, but his phone started to vibrate on the table. He slightly grunted but continued to pull Cassia in, until she removed herself from him to take a look at who is ringing.

'Pixie' shown up clear as day. "Pixie. Isn't she your secretary?" Confused at why he's ignoring her.

"Yes" was Kia simple answer.

"Then why don't you answer it?" She gave him the phone, expecting him to answer. To her surprise he put it down "I told you, I just want me and you right now". Unsatisfied with his answer she took the phone from his hand to see if there where any voice messages left.

'Hey Kai, I don't know why your ignoring me tonight. Your normally ok for our late sessions. Brad's gone off on another weekend away so I'm free for some me and you time. Call me back'

Kai watched Cassia face turn from confused to shocked. He hadn't considered Pixie in any of his plans with Cass, which he now was regretting. "Anna?"

Still looking at the phone, she see's a few messages from her; asking for him to come ravish her while she loosens him up. Noticing the feeling of sickness in her stomach, she looks at Kai seeing no signs of emotion towards her. "Your sleeping with your secretary?" Hurt came through loud and clear.

"I was" Still no emotion appeared.

"But your not now?" Kai noticed her change in mood towards him.

"No, I have you now"

"Well you clearly have not informed her of that" she felt anger appear.

"That's because I didn't know this was going to happen. I didn't plan on us having this, again. I tried so hard to keep away from you Anna, but it's hard"

"Do you want to keep having sex with her?" Cassia had never felt jealousy before, it make her angry.

Removing the phone from her hands, Kai pulled down the towel wrapped round her body and moved her on top of him. She didn't protest just did as he wanted "This is what I want, not her" trailing his finger along her breasts and up to her face, he sat up and kissed her passionately.

Cassia POV

After another hot session with Kai, I needed some water. Throwing his robe on I went down stairs. It was ex supremely quiet, I thought I'd of heard Alice or Tala, but nothing. Going into the kitchen I almost slipped on the water marks me and Kai left from earlier.

Once I cleaned up our mess, I grabbed a glass from the cupboard and filled with the chilled water out the refrigerator.

Sitting on the side I saw Tala phone left, it had 3 missed calls from an unknown number and a text from Pixie. "Urgh".

I clicked onto the text to see what that desperate bitch wanted now 'Hey Tala, sorry to bother you, iv been trying to contact Kai but he's not answering. Tell him to give me a call when he has some free time, thanks'

"hm desperate much". As I was about to place the phone back down, it started to ring. That unknown number again. It must be important if they keep on ringing.

"Hello" I said with a polite tone. There where a slight pause but I could hear someone breathing on the other line "hello" I said again.

"Is Tala there?" A deep husky voice spoke over, it gave me chills.

"No sorry he's not available at the moment, can I take a message?"

"Yes would you be able to get him to ring me back, as soon as you see him please" the voice seemed familiar, but I couldn't place my finger on it.

"Sure, can I take a name?"

"He will no who this is, just confidential business do not worry. May I take your name so I can thank you for your help miss?" It seemed weird but I didn't protest. "I'm Cassia, his sister"

"Well have a present evening Miss, Voalkov. I do hope we can speak again soon" before I could comment back he hung up. Something didn't seem right about this, but knowing Tala he always delt with dodgy people.

"Who was that?" Hearing Kai's voice startled me a little. Turning around to see him behind me wearing just a pair of sweat pants.

"Someone for Tala, he said it was confidential who he was. But he rang on an unknown number. He seemed dodge to me Kai"

Kai took the phone from my hands and examined it. "Don't worry yourself, Tala is a big boy, he will look after himself but you should not take his calls Cassia, it Tala realises he will go mental. He don't like anyone in his phone"

Kai tone seemed threatening "I was just trying to help".

He placed his hands on my face "I will tell him I took the call, just tell me what the guy said and I will sort it" I could feel Kai over protecting me again, but I didn't want to argue. Instead I pulled him in for a lustful kiss.

After a few minutes of tongue twisting he removed himself from me " Go upstairs to bed, you have along day tomorrow"

"Will you be coming with me?" I tried not to sound desperate.

"I have some work to catch up on, seen as how you have been distracting me all night" his playful tone made me smile. It didn't happen very often with Kai.

I got off the side and walked to the kitchen door. Turning round I saw Kai place Tala phone is his pocket. "Good night Kai"

"Goodnight Anna" was all he said.

There was something more strange about that phone call than Kai was letting on, I recognised the voice. But who?

End of Cassia POV

General POV

Kai watched Cassia leave. He now had to deal with the circumstance he tried avoiding all night. Going into his office, he locked the door. Sitting at his desk he pulled out Tala phone and rang a random number.

It took two rings before the same voice answered "It's about time".

"What do you want?" Kai said in his firm tone.

"Arh, Kai. I was not executing you to ring back, seen as how you are entertaining a certain guest"

"Have you not had enough of trying to ruin all our lives?"

"It's a pity I had to find out she was back from the press and then to confirm she happily back in your arms, by her picking up the phone"

"You leave her alone, there is no need for you to be anywhere near her"

"Kai, she is a big girl now. Don't you think she would like to see her..." Kai cut him off.

"You listen to me, leave us all along. We already put our lives on the line for you, I'm not having her know anything. If I lose her again because of you, I will personally come and kill you myself" with that he put the phone down, slamming it on his desk, braking all the screen.

Anger and adrenaline pulsed through Kai's veins, he needed to let off some steam. Grabbing Dranzer out his top draw, he headed down to the training room.

Kai knew his threat would not be enough to keep the man away but he could protect Anna with his life, if she found out about the truth everything would be lost.

Happy happy happy, finally done.

Sorry it's not an extra long one

I'm off to glastonbury festival this week so going to take a pen and paper and get some inspiration for my next chapter. Thank you for all your patients.
