A new girl in town
Chapter 26
"Oh," J.J. said wondering how to explain that.
"Does that mean she used to have a brother named Mike." Kane asked.
"No hun." J.J. sighed. "It means she's transgendered."
"What's that is it anything like being gay." Kane asked.
"Not really. You see sometimes someone is born a boy or a girl and they feel like they were born in the wrong body." J.J. said.
"The wrong body." Kane asked sounding even more confused.
"Yeah it seems that in Kayla's case she was born a boy named Mike." J.J. said pausing to let that sink in.
Kane just cocked his head waiting for more.
"Mike felt like he should have been born a girl." J.J. continued.
"But how can you feel like a girl but be a boy." Kane asked.
"It's how you look at things. A girl sees things and feels things differently than a boy. So he felt like he needed to be a girl." J.J. said.
"So how do you make a boy a girl?" Kane asked.
"Well first you have to see a psychiatrist for a while to be sure it's really what you want not just a confused feeling." J.J. said.
"But talking to someone doesn't make you a girl." Kane said.
"No it's much more than that. After you have decided you are sure then you have to live for a year as the sex you want to be." J.J. said
"So Mike had to live as a girl?" Kane asked.
"Yes." J.J. said.
"But he looks like a girl. Is he using makeup?" Kane asked.
"No hun." J.J. said. "After you live like the other sex for a year you can have surgery. It's very expensive."
"What kind of surgery." Kane asked.
"It's called gender reassignment surgery." J.J. said. "They change your appearance. In Kayla's case if they did all the surgery she has all the woman parts and has had the man parts removed."
Kane blanched at the thought of having his man parts removed.
"She probably did the top first. Then the bottom. At some point she probably had her Adams apple shaved down to change her voice and make it not as noticeable."
"Wow." Kane said. "I don't think I could ever do that."
"Most people don't they just live their lives in the 'wrong body'." J.J. said. "Kayla had the courage to become who she wanted to be and who she is."
"Oh but why didn't she tell us?" Kane asked.
"Because she probably didn't want anyone to know." J.J. said. "If people knew they would ridicule her for doing it."
"But it's what makes her happy right." Kane asked.
"Yes it probably it. But I wouldn't mention it to anyone because it's her secret to keep or tell." J.J. said.
"I won't." Kane said.
"Good." J.J. said glad he understood. "I'm sure she would appreciate it."
With that knowledge Kane yawned.
"You need to get to bed hun. You didn't get much sleep last night either." J.J. said.
"Yeah you're right." He said changing for bed and heading there.
Taker/Sammy
Getting to their room Taker helped Sammy in and straight to bed. Once he was sure that she was comfortable he went out and sat on the couch.
"I wonder if everything she said last night was rambling or was some of it true." Taker asked himself softly.
She said something about being with two women. As wasted as she was I can see that happening but I hope her lovers understand. She also said something about being Mike and now being Kayla. I wonder if that's true. Not that it matters but if the wrong people find out there will be problems. He thought.
I guess we'll deal with that if it happens. He decided.
He sat for a while longer then joined Sammy in bed.
Kayla/friends
When they had all collapsed in a heap after several rounds of rather creative love making, Kayla spoke.
"I really, really fucked up last night - in more ways than one."
"Kayla, it's not a big deal," Vanessa said, reaching over to stroke Kayla's cheek.
"But it is, V," Kayla insisted.
"Okay, let's hear the worst," Cassie said.
"I fucked a couple of girls," Kayla said.
Vanessa, Wade and Cassie just shrugged.
"That doesn't bother any of you? Not even slightly?" Kayla asked in surprise.
"Sweetheart, if it bothered us, I would have been the first getting kicked out of bed," Wade said as he reached around Cassie to drop an arm around Kayla's shoulder.
"Yeah, seriously. Wade's 'everything sexual', remember?" Cassie said.
"I've done my shit. I love you girls dearly but sometimes I need a guy, you know?" Wade said.
Kayla nodded.
"I fucked Theresa," Cassie said.
"That chick from your social work program? The hot Latina one with the crazy hair and the piercings and shit?" Vanessa asked in surprise.
"Yep, that's the one," Cassie confirmed with a grin.
"How many times did you get that fuckin' lucky?" Wade asked.
"Eh, a lot more than once," Cassie said nonchalantly.
"There's this resident at work," Vanessa said.
"I know I haven't mentioned him but I don't really know what the deal is yet. Anyway, he could be a dead ringer for Kane. . .but he has a darker complexion and doesn't have scars. His name is Ray," she added.
"Wow V, I didn't think he was your type," Cassie quipped.
"Fuck off, Beyoncé," Vanessa teased.
"Not mother fucking Beyoncé!" Cassie yelled. Then she quickly returned to the subject at hand.
"Our point is we're all poly. We've taken a bit more of a traditional relationship stance here in choosing to be a foursome, but that doesn't mean we can't have other relationships, or one - night stands, or whatever. I know, and I think that everyone else agrees, that the people in this room are who are most important to me. There are 'primary' and 'secondary' relationship designations for a reason, babe," Cassie said.
"I couldn't have said it any better," Wade said as he looked fondly down at Cassie.
"You have a way with words that most people can't manage on their best days," Vanessa added.
Kayla smiled.
"There's more, if you can believe it," she said.
"In my beyond words can describe it fucked up state last night, I told both Taker and Kane about Mike," she said.
The reaction was instantaneous. As one, Cassie, Vanessa and Wade piled on to her in something vaguely resembling a hug. Kayla started laughing and could only squeak.
"It's not the end of the world, Kayla J," Cassie said affectionately once Kayla could finally breathe.
"No one here is going to understand, Cass," Kayla said.
"The people who care about you will. The rest can go fuck themselves," Cassie said.
"It might take some adjustment, but I don't think they'll see you any differently, Kayla girl," Wade added.
"I think they'll learn a lot from you. You have a lot to offer and so much to give," Vanessa said.
"I know this wasn't the way you wanted things to go, but maybe it happened for a reason," she added.
Kayla shrugged.
"I'm ready to call it a night," Wade said with a yawn.
Everyone else agreed and they arranged themselves in preparation for sleep.
Kane/J.J./Kayla/Kayla's friends
Waking up early Kane decided to order breakfast for himself and J.J.
"We've got to get going early." He said to himself. "We've got an event tonight."
When breakfast arrived they ate quickly.
"We'd better make sure Kayla is up. If she's going to ride with us we need to get the trailer hooked back up. If not we need to return the trailer." J.J. said.
"I saw what room she went to yesterday." Kane said. "I'll just go knock on her door."
Kane walked down the hall and knocked on Kayla's room.
After a minute a man answered.
"Can I help you?" The man said. "Oh my god you're Kane." The guy said a minute later.
"I'm guessing this isn't Kayla's room." Kane said.
"No…" The man said. "But can I get a picture and an autograph?"
"Sure." Kane said standing for the picture and then signing the autograph.
"Wow, Kane wow." The guy said as Kane walked away.
"If she's not in that room where could she be?" Kane wondered aloud.
"What's she going to do?" J.J. asked when Kane got back.
"I have no idea." Kane said. "I know I had the right room but Kayla's not there."
"She probably switched to a bigger room cause of Wade and them." J.J. said.
"Oh," Kane said. "I'll call the desk and find out what room she's in."
Kane made the call then got it connected.
"Hey," Kayla said.
"You guys are up early. What's up?" Kayla asked.
"We have an event tonight." Kane said. "We were wondering what you were going to do and whether your friends were staying with you or heading home."
"Hang on a sec," Kayla said.
"Kane is on the phone. He wants to know if you're sticking around or what," Kayla said to Cassie, Vanessa and Wade.
"I booked off a week of vacation time," Cassie said.
"For the first time in your life," Wade replied.
"You know me. We're in the slow season for stadium security so they won't miss me. Plus I paid for a week of parking at the airport," Wade said.
"I can work on the road as well as I can at the office for the most part," Vanessa added.
Kayla smiled at them all.
"Hey, sorry about that. Looks like you're stuck with them for a while longer. None of them seem to be able to find reasons to leave," Kayla said.
"Alright but we'll have to find a way to get them there. I don't think Taker will mind but you'd better call him. What are you going to do with the bike are we going to transport it again? They'll have to stay at the hotel till time for the event cause if Vince catches them backstage again they'll be hell to pay." Kane said.
"If you guys don't mind, I guess I'll leave it with you," Kayla said.
"As for Vince, yeah - I don't need his eyes on me more than they already are," she added.
Then she started looking for Taker's number.
"Can you give me Taker's number? Looks like I don't have it," she said after a moment.
Kane rattled off the number really quickly.
"We'll have to go soon or we won't make it in time." Kane added. "It's a bit of a long drive and we have to be at the arena by five."
"Yeah, fuck. Thanks. I'll see you in a bit," Kayla said.
Taker/Kayla
Then she hung up the hotel room's phone and called Taker on her cell.
"Hey, it's Kayla," she said when he answered.
"V, Wade and Cassie are going to be sticking around for the next week. I don't want to put you out in any way, but would you mind if Cassie and V ride with you guys again? We'll comp you for gas or something," Kayla said.
"I guess if they need a ride." Taker said. "But I wouldn't suggest they go backstage again."
"As for the gas we're going that way anyway. They'll just have to pay for their meals if we stop." Taker added.
"Yeah, I already talked about the Vince thing with Kane. I really don't need more of his attention than I've already got," Kayla said.
"As for meals, that's not a problem," she added.
"Ok then," Taker said. "They need to be downstairs in like thirty."
"They're actually ahead of me there," Kayla said with a laugh.
"Later. . .and thanks again," she added.
Then, before she'd realized that the call hadn't disconnected she yelled,
"No sex in the mother fucking shower! We have places to be not people to do!"
Taker laughed as he went around the room packing their belongings. Then he woke Sammy.
"Are you ready to go already?" Sammy asked.
"Yes hun except for your bag it's all set." Taker said, feeling badly at how sore she looked.
"How bad it is?" Sammy asked seeing the look on his face.
"You have two huge black eyes and you're swollen but you'll heal." He said smiling.
"I wish I had Kane's mask I don't want anyone to see me like this." Sammy said.
"No you don't." Taker said. "But if you're uncomfortable you could stay back at the hotel"
"I'll think about it." Sammy said.
Kayla finally got in to the shower after 5 minutes of waiting. She showered quickly and was out in 10 minutes.
"We've already packed your stuff," Cassie said as Kayla got dressed.
"Thanks," Kayla said as she ran a brush through her hair. It hurt as usual.
You ready to hit the road?" Wade asked as he came in to the room with 4 cups of coffee on a disposable tray.
"Yeah, we don't want to keep them waiting," Vanessa said as she grabbed cups for herself and Cassie.
Kayla made one last check of the room then they left.
None of them saw Hunter's hate filled glare as they passed.
