"Yo, sexy no need to get yourself all worked up."
I took a breath to count to ten silently. Then I gave both men my best Burg glare.
"So the two of you have this all worked out huh? There is just one problem. Neither one of you men has any idea who you are playing with,"I said calmly.
"Blanca, sit down and listen," Escobar barked!
I gave him a raised eyebrow as I continued to stand.
"No, you listen! What makes you think this is something that I ever go along with. Newsflash Escobar, I work for you. I am not some product that you can sell to any loser willing to cut you a check," I yelled!
"Ouch, that stung," Keyon protested.
"Shut up, I'm not even going to waste my time on someone so pathetic," I snapped!
"Lower your voice, Blanca" Radolfo growled!
"No need to. I'm done here and I'm done with you, Escobar," I told him while storming toward the door!
"No, you are not. You are done when I say you are done," Radolfo snapped as he stomped behind me!
"I have gotten myself into some crazy things. But Being a high-class call girl is not going to be one of them," I hissed!
"You don't walk away from me while I talking to you", Escobar demanded!
Then he made the mistake of roughly grabbing my shoulder. Before the man knew what had hit him, Radolfo was found himself face down on the floor. I had his arm pinned between his shoulders and my knee in his spine.
"I'm not one of those girls you can put your hands on!"
Slowly I got to my feet and glared at Keyon.
"Hey, You got me twisted baby girl. I ain't never had to pay for it. Matter of fact, I practically had to fight the groupies off me last night at Nitro. See, what I'm looking for is more like the girlfriend experience. Someone one to join me at dinner and a dance partner when I hit the club. A lady in the skybox wearing my jersey and cheering me on at the game. I'm in between women right now and I need some arm candy," Keyon explained smugly.
Escobar was still face down on the floor when I noticed his body begin to gently shake. Concern racked my emotions. Then I realized he was laughing. Slowly Radolfo rolled over on his back and sat up.
"Are you alright," I whispered as I extended a hand to help him to his feet.
Escobar sat up and took my hand. Instead of getting up he pulled me down to his lap. I could feel his chest rumbling with soft laughter.
"Where in the world did you learn to do that? There is that feistiness I like. Blanca, you know you got a real stubborn streak," he cooed.
"You weren't exactly Mr. cool calm and collected," I countered.
"True, I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong. I'm sorry if I led you to jump to the wrong conclusion. I know you are not like that. And I respect the fact that you don't judge the women who are. You 're cool Blanca and I would never try to manipulate you into doing anything that goes against the person you are. I appreciate you for the class act that you are. I don't want a mess that up," Escobar explained. Then he stood up while holding me closely. We stood there toe to toe with our chest touching. Radolfo leaned his forehead against mine.
"If that man crosses the line, just say the word. I'll have someone knock him back so hard he will think guys he plays ball with hit like girls."
Sunshine poured through the window waking me from my sleep. When I opened my eyes Keyon and a large muscular man was standing next to my bed.
"Told you, man, her type doesn't get up before noon. "
I narrowed my eyes at the man before throwing my pillow at Keyon. "Do you know what time it is,"I grumbled?
"Yes, it's time for my girlfriend to get up and go running with me."
"Give it up, man. She ain't getting out of bed. And you can forget about the princess running anywhere," the other man laughed.
Silently I got out of bed. Then I grabbed a pair of shorts and a take top from the drawer before going into the bathroom to get dressed. After I was changed, I pulled my hair into a ponytail, before I laced up my running shoes.
"Who is your friend," I asked suspiciously?
"Blanca, this is my security guy Jackson."
"Nice to meet you, Jackson."
"You can call me Jax."
"So are we all just going to stand around here talking? Didn't you say something about running," I smirked?
Once we were out on the beach, I took off. It did not take me long to fall into an even stride. I could tell the men were impressed. After five miles we returned back to the house.
"Man, that's it? I bearly broke a sweat, I told Keyon. You two are lightweights, You got me up for five miles," I joked.
"We don't have time for a longer run." I have to get to practice. Go put on something cute. You are going to hang out with the wives and other girlfriends of the players," Keyon informed me.
On the way back to my room I noticed Jax following me up the stairs.
"What do you think you are doing," I asked?
"You mean other than enjoying the view," he laughed? "Relax, I'm just doing my job. Keyon's security detail is now your security detail. So get used to having me follow you around."
When I got out of the shower, Radolfo was sitting on my bed. I pulled my towel around me tighter as I glared at him.
He let out a low chuckled. "I just wanted to lay out your wardrobe for today." Then he got up and left the room.
After getting dressed, I went back into the bathroom to do my hair. Again, when I returned to my room there was someone waiting for me. Tabby was slouched in a chair.
"Hey , what's up," I said cheerfully?
"You think you are so cute, don't you? Little miss girl next door, you act like you are better than the rest of us," Tabby accused!
"Okay, so what's got you so upset, Tabby," I asked softly?
"See, that what has me so upset! That nice girl act of yours. Radolfo is my man! Do you understand? I can get vicious when other women try to take what mine," Tabby threaten!
"I don't want your man, Tabby,"I assured her.
"Hey, you ready," Keyon interrupted?
"Thanks," I exhaled as we got to the SUV.
"For what," he asked?
"Getting me away from that chic. She does not seem to be playing with a full deck. For some strange reason, she thinks I'm after Escobar."
"Not so strange since he seems to want you bad."
"What, no way! Radolfo is a flirt. That is just how he is with everyone."
"Yeah right, if you say so," Keyon laughed. "Alright, we are in the back and Jax is going to drive. "
As soon as I got in the car my cell phone buzzed with a text message from Blaze. We went back and forth for several minutes. I finally convinced him that I was fine and not in need of back up. As long as I kept my phone on and checked in with him a few time a day he was fine.
My day was completely scheduled with family events for the fans. There were several games and activities set up as well as a huge lunch. The player wives worked hard to make sure everyone had fun and that their men were well taken care of. By the end of the day, I was ready for a nap.
"Did you have good time Keyon," asked as he stretched his legs in the vehicle?
"I did, it was a lot of work, but the kids were so cute."
"Tomorrow are the team events. So you get to sleep late. Here this is my jersey. I'm going to need you to wear it. "
"So am I free to lounge on the beach for the rest of the day, or do you have something planned," I asked?
"You can chill for a while. Then you and I are going to hit the club tonight."
"You mean ,you ,me and, Jax. He stuck so closely to me today, that my shadow got jealous."
"Hey, I like my job, so I follow protocol," Jax called from the driver's seat.
Once we were back at the house I headed back to my room to change. There was a group of women huddled around the door to suite Escobar and Tabby shared. Tabby was shrieking in protest to Radolfo's angry booming yell. A can of hair spray came flying out of door and hit the wall.
"Now you are throwing things at me, girl! You know better. Don't push me, Tabitha !" Escobar threatened.
"It's not that big a deal ,just chill out," Tabby countered.
"It is a big deal. That's a baby, not a puppy. What is wrong with you?"
Then the two began to scream at another in Spanish even louder. Loud crashes bounce off the wall.
"What's going on," I whispered?
"She left the baby with a sitter for the two weeks we have been here. "
"Yeah?"
"The sitter is a 15-year-old eighth grader."
"Who does that," I gasp?
"Her dumb behind," someone said.
A loud thud cut through the yelling. Then Radolfo yelped in pained.
"I 'm sorry Rad, I'm Sorry," Tabby wailed!
"He is getting ready to flip," one of the girls said. "I can hear it in his voice. And it is not going to be pretty."
Slowly I walked into the room. Tabby was cowering in a corner. Radolfo was brooding over her with hands clinched. His glare was murderous and the tone of his voice was lethal. I could tell that situation needed to be diffused before an ambulance had to be called.
"Radolfo," I said softly. Some of the tensions eased from his body when he saw me. "Stop this. You don't want to hurt her. Just walk away," I pleaded.
I placed my hand on his back and made gentle circles. Slowly he began to relax.
"You are a better man than this. Can't you see how scared she is? I was on my way out to the beach. How about you get some air," I suggested?
Slowly he nodded. Then Escobar turned around and wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Get me out of here before a catch a case," he whispered.
I walked Escobar to my room. He shot me a confused look as I pushed him onto the bed. Next, I went into the bathroom and found the first aid kit. Then I gently cleaned and bandaged the bleeding wound on the side of his head. I searched the kit and found a chemical ice pack. After activating the instant cold pack, I applied it to the large lump on the side of Rodolfo's head. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me onto his lap. Escobar rested his chin on the top my head as held me close to his chest. I could feel his heart pounding as he inhaled ragged breaths. He held me for several minutes until his pulse slowed and he began breathing steady breaths again.
"Let's head out to the beach," I said.
"Sure thing. Is that going to be alright with your security," Escobar asked pointing to Jax standing in the doorway?
"Hey, I'm just doing my job man," Jax said as he followed us to the beach.
Rodolfo and I quietly sat in two beach chairs.
"It peaceful out here," Escobar said calmly as he held my hand.
"Yeah, no baby mama drama," I teased.
"That is not my baby. I would never have a child with a woman like her," he huffed.
The two sat outside enjoying the weather and chatting for the next few hours.
"Hey, I hate to break up this here date. But it's time for her get ready to go to the club with her man," Jax informed us.
"See you later," Escobar sighed.
Once we were in the house Jax gave me a cautious look.
"That man has it bad for you. Be careful around him. I would not be surprised to see him getting overly attached to you if you know what mean," Jax warned.
I chose an outfit for the along with some matching lingerie. Then I went and took a shower. After get dressed, I noticed one of the drawers to the dresser was opened. When I looked inside all of my underwear were missing. Quickly I walked out of the bedroom and right into Jax's chest.
"Hey, did you see anyone come in her or walk by, " I asked?
