Kayla's POV

After Paul left my place, I was so angry. He said he's going to make sure I regret my decision for breaking up with him. No I know I was going to be in some shit. He's going to do exactly what I thought he was going to do when he's going to get me fired from my job because he's taking this personally. I should've known this would happen though, it's not my fault that he's being as petty as he is but it is my fault that I decided to take a job knowing that I was involved with him but on a positive note, I can do what I want with who I want and whenever I want and not be tracked when I do it.

After my furniture was delivered later in the day, I called Joe, to fill him in on what happened.

"What's up girl?" He answers

"I did it."

"You broke up with him?"  He asks

"Yup."

"I'm happy for you. How did he take it?" He asks

"He didn't take it well but he took it better than I thought. Besides him telling me I was going to regret my decision, I think it went well." I say

He laughs, "Wow, how are you feeling?"

"I'm okay. I've just been getting my place together and taking time for myself all day." I say looking at the mess around my room.

"Well, you'll let me know if you need anything?"

"Of course. You've been so understanding with me. I appreciate that Joe. Thank you."

"Hey you talk like you aren't going to see me anymore. Call me whenever you want. I'm just next door." He says

"I didn't mean it like that. You've just been a really good friend, considering the circumstances." I say

"That's what I'm here for. Do you need anything now?" He asks

"No, I'm just gonna get things situated here, for the rest of the night. It's my first night here, my first night on my own period." I say feeling a little uneasy.

"First night period?"

"Yeah, I always had a roommate in college and he bought me my condo but he was there all the time. I would start the night out my myself but he always came by." I say

"Well you can definitely let me know if you need company then. I'll bring our bottle and we can have one of the many nights we've been having since we met."

"That's nice but I'm going to try to do this on my own." I say

"Still call if you need to." He says

"I will. Thanks Joe."

"I'll talk to you later." He says then we end the call.

I tried making some sense of the mess in my room and condo but I felt like I was just moving it around and I wasn't accomplishing anything. It was around 11 pm and I was overwhelmed. I decided to take a break and watch tv. I got bored after a few minutes, I got up and looked out of my living room window, to enjoy the view and Joe fell on my mind.

Good ol Joe Anoa'i, sexy ol Joe Anoai. Well, I am single now and he said as long as I was with Paul, he wouldn't touch me. Well, I'm not with him anymore, he can touch me all he wants. I do wanna know how big it is. Lol I wanna get over Paul, what better way to do so. Right? I don't know. I could be pushing it. But I also don't have to hide behind my relationship anymore, I can actually show my real feelings now. I like him. Why not act on it.

I laugh to myself. What the hell, I'm gonna call him. I get my phone and call. I was about to hang up but he answers after a few rings. It was kinda late.

"What's up babygirl?" He answers in a deep voice. He must've been sleeping. Damn, he sounds good.

"Heeey, What are you doing?" I ask smiling big.

He laughs a little, "I'm sleeping, what are you doing?" He asks

"You do sound like you were sleeping. You have a sexy sleepy voice."

He laughs again, "What are you doing?"

"Oh nothing, I was just watching TV. I'm super bored and I wanted to know if you wanted to come over and entertain me?"

He was silent for a few seconds, ".......Kayla?"

"Yeeeeessss?"

"You can't be serious right now." He says

"Why can't I? Come over."

"You just got out of a relationship. The last thing you need is for me to come over your house at 11:30 at night." He says

"I'm asking you to."

"No." He says firmly.

"Why?"

"Because if I come, I might not want to leave." He says and I could tell he had a smile on his face.

"What if I don't want you to leave?"

He laughs, "Are you serious? I don't want to take advantage of you like this."

"How are you taking advantage when I'm giving it to you?"

"Damn." Is all he says, then he takes a deep breath and let's it out.

"I'll leave the door unlocked. Hurry up." I say to him then hang up, giving him no time to disagree with me.

A few minutes later, he was coming through by door. I was still sitting on the sofa, so I could see him come in. I smiled at him. I knew he was gonna come.

"Hey!" I say watching him walk over.

He had on black basketball shorts and one of his old WWE shirts that said, "I can and I will" and his hair was in a messy bun with hair coming out the bottom. Yeah, he was knocked out.

He smiles and sits next to me, "You're going to get me in trouble. I'm starting to think you moving in the next building was a bad idea."

"I think it's a great idea." I quickly climb onto his lap, straddling him.

"Damn, you just gonna get right into it huh?" He says and I laugh. I move in to kiss him but he stops me before I could even get to his lips.

"What?" I ask looking at him confused

"What are you doing?" He asks holding my shoulders back.

"What does it look like? I'm trying to kiss you. Give me those lips." I say moving in again and he smiles, "You want em?"

"Yes, I do" He says looking at my lips and licking his, "But I can't do this, like this." He says

"Like what?"

"Like this, you just broke up with him, and me and you can't just have meaningless sex, or make-out sessions." He says

"I'm a very sexual person, I can handle it." I say

"Maybe that's your problem....and you can't handle it." He says picking me up and sitting me next to him.

He's right, I can't handle it. Meaningless sex so isn't me. I don't even know why I'm trying to fool him. He knows me.

I sigh, "You're right, but I just need some type of intimacy right now. I don't know what's wrong with me."

"I can give you intimacy all day baby. That has nothing to do with sex babygirl." He says, "I don't want to just have sex, I'd rather form an bond with you. Might form an attachment but you're worth it. Emotional bonds are deeper. I can't treat you like all those other women I was dealing with. I just want to do things differently. You know I like you, and I just can't do you like that. Now if that's what you really want, just sex, we can do this. I wanted to warn you first because I know what you need and I want to give it to you but if we have sex, you gotta stick with that."

"I don't want just sex." I say

He laughs, "I know. Now that that's taken care of-." He pulls me back into his lap, "Our friendship means a lot to me. Don't get me wrong, I want you, I want you bad as fuck but I just want to make sure you're good and you're not just doing things to make yourself feel better for the moment."

"I need some type of intimacy right now." I say looking down at him, "I'm starting to feel this breakup and ..."

"I know. It's alright and I'm here for you baby. Whatever you need." He says brushing the hair off of my shoulder, "If it's intimacy you need, I'll definitely give it to you." He smiles at me, "Kiss me babygirl."

I lean down and kiss him. One of his hands moves up my back and to the back of my neck, while the other rests on my back. The kiss was so passionate and almost orgasmic. After a few minutes, I started grinding on him and he stopped me.

"You're trying it." He says dropping his hands to my thighs, then he starts rubbing them.

"I'm sorry, I swear I'm not. I'm just into it." I say smiling.

"You're making my dick hard."

I smiles, "I know, I can feel it."

"I need to go." He says

"Nooo, Stay we with me." I say pouting.

"I'm not staying with you. You're trying to get fucked Kayla." He says and I laugh.

I climb off of his lap and sit next to him, "Just stay a little longer. I don't want to be here by myself."

"Let me go get myself together and I'll stay." He gets up and his dick was super hard. It was sticking so far out of his shorts. I couldn't help but to look.

I unknowing lick my lips and he caught me.

"Did you just lick your lips?" He laughs

"No. But you're not even trying to hide it." I say laughing

"Shit, you know what a hard dick looks like. I don't have to hide shit."

"But I don't know what yours looks like." I reply and he just looks at me.

"I can't believe you just said that." He says shaking his head.

I laugh and put my arms around the back of the sofa, "Let me introduce you to single Kayla."

He laughs and goes into my bathroom.

He comes back a couple of minutes later. He sits down and everything was back to normal with us. He puts his hand on my thigh and turns to me.

"So, let's talk." He says

"What do you wanna talk about?"

"You." He says

"What about me?" I ask smiling.

"I see you were with Paul but what's your ideal guy?" Joe asks

"Oh, we're going there?" I say

"Yeah."

"Well, someone who's overall a good person, someone who respects me, someone I can laugh with, be silly with and most of all, be myself around. I want someone who takes me seriously, loves being around me, protects me, and someone who will put me first and doesn't blow me off for their friends, listens to me-."

He cuts me off, "That's a big one, someone who can listen and applies that to the relationship." He says

"Exactly." I laugh a little, "Someone who cares about my well being, wants to talk to me, doesn't have an attitude all the time, comforts me when I need it, someone who just genuinely sees and likes me......" I look over at Joe and he's looking me right in the face, giving me all of his attention. I smile shyly, "I've been through a lot with Paul."

He nods his head, "I get that vibe and you can tell me anything, I'll listen." He says looking concerned. "I noticed you didn't say anything about looks."

"That's because I don't care that much about looks. My boyfriend can't treat me right with looks. If he's gorgeous, that's a plus but I'm not looking for that. At one time, I thought Paul was all of those things, he was all of those things but it just did work." I say

"What happened?" He asks

"I don't know. He just changed." I say

"Does it have anything to do with some of the things you've been through?" He asks and I just sigh.

"I don't know. Maybe."

"I don't mean to pry, but I'm genuinely concerned. You know I will never force you to talk about anything but I will ask. So what happened?" He asks

"I know you just want to know." I pause and take a deep breath, "I'm not really comfortable with talking about this because I've never really talked about it with anyone else. Paul knew I went through it because he was there, he had a lot to do with it but ...somehow I slipped into a really deep depression and it was really bad. About a year ago, I was going through a lot with my family, which I've told you a little bit about. I've had a lot of family problems. Paul helped me out with a lot of that. He got me the condo, payed for my schooling and even bought me a car. But shortly after, my family passed away. Like my whole family. They were in a car accident with a semi truck and they all died. My mom, dad, older sister and little brother. I was devastated and shortly after, I fell into a deep depression. I guess he didn't like that I wasn't myself and he went from being understanding, to mean and just cold. That's when the relationship took a turn. To make a long story short, after a while, I got better with the help of my doctor but the relationship stayed the same and it's been that way ever since."

"So you do know what happened with him, you just didn't want to say it." He says

"Yeah, I'm just not comfortable talking about it." I say

"Well don't ever feel that you can't talk to me because you can. I'm not going to judge you baby. This is what I'm talking about when I say, I want to form a bond with you. I want you to feel comfortable with me, I want you to feel safe. I want you to open up to me. You think it's your fault he's like that, don't you?" He asks

"I do."

"But it's not baby." He says

"If none of that happened, we would still be happy." I say

"But It did happen and it's not your fault. He shouldn't have treated you like that because you weren't taking it well. You had just lost your family, he should've got you help.  He should've did everything he could to help. He should've made your problems, his problems. He didn't and I'm sorry for that. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I would never ever do anything like that to the woman I supposedly love. I wouldn't do that to anyone at all, ever." He says sounding a little upset.

"I just wish I would've handled it better."

"You handled it the only way you could. Stop blaming yourself for his neglect. A real man wouldn't have handled the situation like that." He says and he's right. I wish I would've met Joe, instead of Paul that day. Things would be so different. Joe is like the perfect guy.

"You're so understanding. I don't deserve you." I say smiling big at him.

"Why not?"

"You're such a good guy, a good friend. I appreciate you Joe. You just don't know how much I do. Thank you for everything."

"You don't have to thank me Kayla." He smiles then kisses me on the cheek, "It's what I'm here for."

"You always say that but that's not what you're here for. What can I do for you, what do you need from me?" I ask

He looks over at me, "Stay away from Paul."

"I think I can make that happen." I smile, lean over and kiss him on the lips. He put his hand behind my head, getting into the kiss, pulling me back on his lap.

I smile against his lips, "What are you doing?"

"Getting out of my own head for once."

I didn't resist, I let his lips lead the way. We had another make out session that lasted about 20minutes. I loved it and it felt good to open up to someone, other than Paul. I'm really starting to appreciate Joe for the person he is. He's really a good man. What the hell is wrong with his ex? That chick is crazy.
