A new girl in town
Chapter 71
Cena/Kayla/John
"Now we know how serious he is." Cena said. "Besides which you have two more people looking out for you now."
"Yeah and Ron and I plan to keep you in our sights twenty four seven." John said.
"And we're setting a trap for him remember?" Cena added.
Kayla nodded.
"I don't know what I did to deserve it, but I'm grateful. Thanks, guys," she said, trying to regain her self-composure.
"Hey we're in it for the money." John said laughing. "And we haven't failed a job yet."
"I'm here because you are a friend. Same with Taker and Kane; when they get back." Cena said.
Kayla smiled shakily.
"Whatever, dudes. If it's just about the money, you wouldn't have given me the time of day," she said.
"As for you," she continued, turning toward Cena,
"Hug?" She asked, looking up at him hopefully.
She doesn't know Taker called in a very big favor to get us into this. John thought. But now that I know her, I don't know about Ron but I've got her back.
"Now you know it's all about the Benjamin's." John said laughing again.
Cena came around the desk and wrapped her in a tight hug.
"It's going to be ok Kayla." Cena whispered in her ear.
Kayla hung onto him tightly. Right then, Jon felt like the only real thing in the world and she needed that.
"You've got the first lines of a rap song right there," she said laughing. Then she reluctantly stepped back from the hug.
"Oh yeah what's that. Let's hear it." Cena said smiling.
Kayla starts singing [it's all about the Benjamin's by puff daddy]
Uhh, uh-huh yeah
Uhh, uh-huh yeah
It's all about the Benjamin's
John just started laughing.
"What? You started it," Kayla said shaking her head.
"I just never pictured you into rap never mind singing it." John said still laughing.
Cena looked at them both and started laughing too.
Kayla shrugged.
"I'm into a lot of shit. And yeah, I do music," she said.
"Music I can understand but RAP. What instrument do you play I've never seen you with one?" John said.
Kayla laughed.
"Blame my younger brother. He plays basketball for a living and he's all into that. I'm a drummer mainly, but I can also play the keys and a bit of guitar. Bryan May I'm not though," she said modestly.
"He plays ball now that I can get into." John said smiling. "Even though you say you're not that good anyone who can play three instruments is good."
Kayla shrugged.
"I just fuck around, you know? I play what I think sounds good. That doesn't mean it is," she said with a smile.
'"Yeah, he's good. I'd invite you to a game, but you'd have to fly over to Israel for that. He'll probably be doing pick-up in New York if we're there when he's still off though," she added.
Kane/Sammy/Taker
When he had finished eating or more precisely swallowing his food whole Kane got up from the table.
"Sit down for a few more let me finish." Taker said smiling at his impatient brother.
Kane reluctantly sat down and watched Taker eating, fidgeting and silently urging Taker to finish already.
"Finally." Kane said standing up the minute Taker had eaten his last bite.
Taker shook his head and got up from the table leaving more than enough money to cover the check.
Then they walked out the door. Kane was at the SUV in no time and again had to wait for Taker.
"Will you hurry up man." Kane bitched as Taker got into the SUV.
Kane jumped in and buckled up.
Before long they were at the hospital. Kane didn't wait for Taker to even get out of the car he was practically sprinting inside and to the elevator.
He arrived back at the ICU and the nurse smiled as he walked in.
Kane hurried over to relieve Sammy and took J.J.'s hand.
"I'm sorry I was gone so long." Sammy heard Kane tell J.J. as she left the ICU.
She was surprised not to see Taker in the hall.
"Where were you?" she asked when he arrived.
"Kane practically made me take my food with me then ran from the car to the elevator." Taker said laughing.
"Did you get him to sleep a bit." Sammy asked.
"He did that himself he was out in the car like five seconds into the ride." Taker said smiling. "At least I didn't have to fight with him about it. He ate a good meal and had a shower so he's good for now. But I don't know what to do?"
"What do you mean?" Sammy asked.
"Well I have to get back or Vince will have a cow. But he's going to need someone here to give him breaks or he'll sit there forever with her." Taker said. "I'm half tempted to let Vince have Vince freak out and just say."
"That won't do either of you any good." Sammy said. "I'll just stay and help him out."
"You'd do that?" Taker said.
"Of course." Sammy said.
"Can you handle him if he loses it?" Taker asked.
"I can try if it doesn't work I'll call you." Sammy replied.
"If you're sure?" Taker said.
"I'm sure. Go back to work Kane and I will work it out." Sammy said.
"I'll have to say goodbye so I can make it to the next event." Taker said.
"Why don't you go do that now?" Sammy said. "I'll sit with her while you do."
Sammy walked into the ICU and told Kane that Taker needed to speak with him.
"Why didn't he do it earlier." Kane grumbled.
"He didn't have the information he has now." Sammy said.
Oh shit did they tell him something about J.J.? Kane thought, frantically getting up quickly and heading out the door.
When he saw the look on Taker's face he nearly fell to his knees in worry.
"Relax," Taker said. "It's nothing bad."
Kane sighed with relief and walked up to Taker.
"I have to go back to go back on the road now." Taker said. "Sammy is going to stay with you so you can shower and eat once in a while."
"I really don't need to." Kane said.
"And what if the doctor kicks you out again?" Taker asked.
"Yeah I guess it's a good idea." Kane said.
"Good now remember no matter that you have to stay calm. You need to make the decisions for J.J. right now." Taker said.
"I will." Kane replied.
"Good." Taker said.
"Thanks." Kane said reaching out his hand to shake with Taker.
Taker took his hand and pulled him in for a hug.
Then Taker turned before Kane could say anything and walked down the hall. Kane went back into the ICU and relieved Sammy again.
Kayla/John/Cena
"Hey we'll be there in a couple weeks." John said smiling. "It's been a while since I played."
"Cool. We'll have to set something up for sure. Someone'll make me play point guard though," Kayla said shaking her head but looking slightly amused.
"Hey you can't leave out your number one bodyguard." Cena said smiling broadly.
"Nope." Cena said with a laugh.
Kayla joined in his laughter.
"You'll also get to meet Wade and the girls, I guess," Kayla said noncommittally.
"You have kids?" John asked.
Kayla laughed.
"Oh fuck no," she said through her laughter.
"I mean Vanessa and Cassie. Cassie's my wife and Vanessa's, well, Vanessa," she explained.
"Oh I thought Wade was your husband and you had two girls um children." John said getting a little red in the face with embarrassment.
Kayla smiled and shrugged.
"Nah, though I can understand why you'd think that. We're polyamorous. You know, not monogamous. Basically Cassie and I got together, then I met Wade and we went from there.
Then he reconnected with Vanessa because Cassie doesn't know how to stay out of other people's shit and she eventually joined us," Kayla summarized.
"If you have questions, feel free. Most people do," she added.
"Only one." John laughed. "How do you manage to be with so many people at once? It would probably kill me."
Kayla grinned.
"Hmmm. Well, I could always show you," she said with a wink.
John laughed and smiled at her. "NO thanks." He laughed again.
Kayla laughed.
"Eh, suit yourself. But it's not as complicated as it seems. We take turns and stuff," she said shrugging.
John just started laughing again and muttered "Take turns"
"What? I'm just answering your question, dude," Kayla said trying to look pissed off and failing because she was smiling too hard.
That just started Cena laughing and shaking his head.
I'm glad he's taking this all in stride. Cena thought. It would suck if he thought badly of her because of it.
"Hey I'm not sheltered." John and Cena said together.
Kayla rolled her eyes.
"Bitch, please. The kinkiest thing either of you have probably done is some variation of 69ing, am I right?" She said playfully.
"I plead the fifth." John said laughing again.
"Um I have to go get ready for a match." Cena said turning red and darting out of the room.
Kayla cracked up.
"See? Sheltered straight boys. They're my favorite," she said grinning.
Just then there was a knock on the door.
She's not getting any work done at this rate. John thought.
Kayla sighed and went over to answer it.
"Yeah, what is it?" She asked cautiously. Even though the APA was there, she didn't think it would be smart to take chances.
"Vince wants to see you." Stephanie said the whine in her voice evident as it always was.
Kayla sighed in irritation and swung open the door, then she looked down at the youngest McMahon.
"Fine, lead the way," she said in way of a greeting. She still felt slightly shaken from her earlier conversation with Jon and couldn't muster the energy to be flippant.
Kayla was surprised when John fell into step behind her.
"What are you doing?" Steph wined looking over at John.
"Staying with my employer." John stated matter of factly.
Kayla shrugged but didn't say anything.
"What does he mean his employer?" Steph asked. "What could you need the APA for your just a tech."
Kayla rolled her eyes.
Not that any of your business, but I'm being stalked," she said.
"You know, my room's been broken into while I'm sleeping, I've been texted creepy shit, that kinda thing," she added.
"Who would stalk you. You're not even a wrestler or famous like me and Shane. You're a nobody." Steph said sarcastically.
"Very astute, princess," Kayla replied with equal sarcasm.
"If I knew who it was, we wouldn't be having this conversation, would we? Who knows, maybe it's someone who has it out for former military 'Personnel. cause yeah, you're looking at one," she added.
"Your military. Somehow I doubt it. Father would have put you on security if you were not at a computer." Steph said blatantly. "I mean you're ugly enough to be a soldier. But I don't think you're all that tough."
"Eh, believe whatever the hell you want; I don't need to justify a damn thing to you," Kayla said.
"But I have a degree in digital media, so it would be a pretty big waste to have me doing baby-sitting detail, don't you think?" She added.
"OOhh a high paid tech with a degree and everything. You're still a nobody around here." Steph said putting her nose in the air.
Kayla laughed.
"Is your opinion of me supposed to piss me off, princess?" She asked sounding amused.
"Cause honestly, you're as much of a no body as I am. The only difference between us is you happen to come from money. But everyone knows who stands to inherit this company, and I'm not having a conversation with them right now," she added contemptuously.
"How dare you talk to me like that." Steph screeched tuning to face Kayla for the first time. "I'm a McMahon." She shouted spraying spit as she did so.
