Chapter 8
Back in her office, Kayla promised herself not to give herself away anymore. She was way to naïve to go out with Braun. But there was this phrase she keep telling herself whenever she met a new man: "Not every man means danger." It was a motto she went by. Especially after the break up with her ex-boyfriend.
She wanted to believe it so bad, but Braun seemed to prove her wrong. Another guy. Again. Maybe it was all her fault. He is just a guy but she is the girl ans responsible for what she is wearing. Her outfit was too daring. She couldn't blame anyone but herself.
"Yo guys, wanna go out after your matches tonight?" Jon asked Colby and Joe who just finished their training.
"Sure thing. What about you, Joe?"
But Joe shook his head no.
"Nah guys. Not this time."
"Oh so you wanna just lay in bed, stare at the wall and think about Kayla?" Jon said mocking him.
"What makes you think I would ay in bed like that? I'm not a psycho!"
That caused Jon and Colby to laugh.
"I'm serious here. Why would I do that?"
Jon smirked.
"You desire what you can't get. Kayla is not an easy girl, your words here big dog. Especially after the disaster with Braun. I'm sure she wouldn't go out with you anyways."
"That was a bit too far, Jon. She is not an object. Seriously." Colby said.
"Aw. Come on. She's like any other girl. Open your damn eyes. You guys try a bit too hard and make her that special."
Joe couldn't believe what he just heard. Okay, he didn't knew Kayla that well but he is quite sure she is something special. At least to him and Colby obviously thinks about her the same. Jon was a guy who sometimes took advantage of being a superstar and hooks up with fans every once in a while. But he always treated them well. It was just a one night stand, but he treated the girls with respect. The fact that he is thinking about Kayla that way was making him angry.
"I don't know man. You really need a girlfriend, not a new girl every night." with that Joe left his locker room to take a long shower.
Kayla got up from her sewing table to grab something to eat.
She went into the cafeteria when she bumped into Colby.
"Oh no! Not again. I'm sorry, I always seem to bump into people."
Causing Colby to laugh. Kayla was really nice, especially when she was smiling like that.
"Don't worry. It was my fault. Anyways, how're you doing?"
"I'm good, how are you?"
"Can't really complain. You wanna sit? He asked pointing to the table next to them.
Kayla nodded.
The cafeteria was quite empty compared to the last times Kayla was here.
"If you don't mind me asking, did Braun talked to you since Joe did?"
Kayla felt a cold running down her back. It was an uncomfortable topic for her. She looked around only to avoid to look him into the eyes and simply shook her head no.
"Good. Kayla, if anything happens, If Joe is not near you, or you feel uncomfortable or anything please don't hesitate to come to me. I just want to let you know you can talk to me, no matter what topic it is. Okay?"
Kayla was really surprised. Not just Joe was so nice to her, Colby is too. She didn't know hoe to react to that. She is used to deal with her problems on her own. Having men around her to talk to was quite new.
"Why is that?" she asked surprised.
Colby smiled.
"Well, I like you and you seem to be confused. Just wanna let you know I'm here."
"Thank you, but I don't need a babysitter."
"Never meant it that way, Kayla. Just wanted to help you."
"You know what? I'm perfectly fine on my own."
"Did I say something wrong?" Colby asked concerned.
All he wanted to do was to help her and let her know he is here.
"It's just that everyone seem to think that I need help or protection. I don't"
Kayla was fed up. Fed up with men in general. They either hurt her or domineer over her. She was better off alone.
"I'm not saying that you need protection. Just wanted to let you know, I'm here."
But Kayla couldn't take it anymore. Another guy being a bit too nice to her for no reason. They don't know nothing about her but still treat her like something she isn't: valuable.
She stood up from the table.
"I'm um really sorry but I totally forgot that I had an appointment." she looked at her wristwatch "just now. I'm sorry, Colby. But I gotta go. See you around." with that she just left him alone on the table.
Colby was surprised by her reaction. He never meant to scare her away which he obviously did. He just offered her help or at least wanted to be someone she could talk to because there is something weird about her behavior. She is completely different than all the girls he used to date. He knew why Joe liked her that much. Jon was probably right: you desire what you can't get, he thought.
