Chapter 10: Misunderstanding

Cole and Jay hung out in Cole's office after everyone left and lounged out on the bed together. They talked and told jokes and even got into a tickle war that sent them off the bed and onto the glass floor.

"I gotta use the restroom now thanks to you." Jay said with a chuckle and Cole just smiled. "Out the door and down the hall. It has a blue door frame." He said and Jay grinned. "Thanks." He said before leaving to use the restroom.

As Jay walked down the hall, he bumped into a woman that was dressed in a tube top and a short tight skirt. She had heels that made her seem extra tall and so much makeup it made Jay want to puke. The amount of perfume she wore didn't help either. Jay just passed her and went on his way, hopping he didn't run into her again.

Cole got up off the bed after Jay left and looked through the stack of magazines on the coffee table. When the door opened he looked up to see the woman Jay ran into in the hall.

"Hey~ Mista Hence.~" She said seductively. What used to be seductive to Cole at least. He was surprised that he had no reaction to her. She use to be his favorite bang, but now there was nothing as she strutted over and started trailing her hands over his chest and slipping them under his shirt.

Cole was so in shock at this new reaction to her that he didn't even notice as she started undoing his shirt buttons and belt. Right as his shirt was hanging off his shoulders and she was about to pull his pants down, the door opened.

~•~

Jay whistled as he walked down the hall and towards Cole's office happily. He felt happier then usual as he saw the door. He wasn't quite sure what was going on. He knew he had feelings for Cole, but he didn't know why. Cole obviously wasn't the commitment type. He was setting himself up for a broken heart and he knew it, but he couldn't help it. He couldn't ignore how he felt about the man.

When Jay opened the door and saw the woman all over Cole, he paused. His eyes widened as Cole looked to him like a deer caught in headlights.

Jay froze for a second as he registered what was happening. He knew Cole was this kind of man, so why did his heart hurt so much? Why did it feel like it'd been ripped out of his chest and stomped on? He knew to expect to see this. It's not like they were dating. There were no strings. No rules. Nothing saying they couldn't do this. They didn't have anything serious going on, but he hurt like they did.

Jay held back the tears. He didn't want to look weak. "Sorry for interrupting." He said in a cracked voice before turning and walking away. When the door closed he took off running.

Cole finally came to after he saw the broken look in Jay's eyes. He looked to the woman. "Get out. Get out and never come back to my office again." He said sternly before bolting out the door as he redid his belt buckle and closed up his shirt haphazardly. He was determined to catch Jay.

Jay made his way out of the building and out to the street. He recollected his breath and looked to the sky, blinking back tears before going to the edge of the sidewalk and trying to hail a cab.

Cole made his way out of the club and romed his eyes over the street, spotting Jay almost immediately. "Jay!" He cried out and ran towards him just as the blue eyed boy opened the door to a cab.

Jay looked back at Cole at the sound of his name and froze. What could Cole possibly want? He didn't care right now, so he just got in the cab and the vehicle sped off right as Cole managed to make it to the vehicle.

Cole growled and kicked a trashcan as he watched the cab holding Jay drive away. He didn't even know what he was doing. He didn't actually have feelings for the other male, or did he? He wasn't sure. Everything was so confusing all of a sudden and he felt like he didn't know up from down anymore.

Cole went back up to his office and slumped in his chair. He was temped to play with the dancers like he usually did when in a funk, but every time he thought about it all he could see was the image of Jay's face when he walked in just a bit ago. He groaned with his face in his hands and let himself collapse on the desk. "What is wrong with me?"

Kai drove down the road with Lloyd in his truck and a country music station playing. "Hey, Kai?" Lloyd said after a bit and Kai hummed in acknowledgement. "Can I stay over tonight?" Lloyd asked and Kai sighed. "Lloyd, you have to go back home eventually. I swear if you keep pulling me into bed you're make me go raw for peets sake." Kai replied while glancing at him. "Oh, come on! I prefer sleeping in your arms." Lloyd whined and pouted.

"I don't mind holding you, but I do mind having sex every damn night. I mean... Don't get me wrong. It's damn good sex, but we can't keep going at it all the time. You're gonna get a rash and I'm gonna get raw. Not to mention your father. He's gonna get pissed at you not coming home eventually." Kai said as he turned the radeo off so they could talk better.

"I know and I don't plan to have sex tonight. I just want to cuddle and sleep. I swear." Lloyd said and Kai sighed. "Fine, but tomorrow you go home. Alright?" He lamented and Lloyd grinned. "Agreed!"

Kai then chuckled. "Though, I don't see why we can't pull into that alley way and have some fun in the backseat. And I'm not being horny, but I can see that your joystick wants to play." Lloyd said with a chuckle and Kai blushed. "Shut up. You're the one that had to press yourself into me on Cole's couch. It was torture every damn time you laughed." Kai growled out and Lloyd laughed.

Kai gave Lloyd a once over and sighed before pulling onto an empty road that lead to a dead end. He drove until he reached a part of the road that was under a bridge for trains. "Alright, backseat. Now." Kai said and Lloyd grinned before climbing into the back with Kai not far behind him.

[Location: Unknown]

In a large concrete room two women sat in cells. One, an elder woman with graying hair. The other, a young college freshman. The elder woman layed on top of the sleeping bag in her cell, sound asleep. The youger one cried in a corner.

They were Misako Garmadon and Nya Smith.

Nya cried as she kept reassuring herself that her brother would save them soon. Hopefully. She had to keep hopping. She couldn't give up on him. She wouldn't give up on him. Not ever. She refused.

Nya then saw a pigeon outside her window. It was a small slit of a window that was situated up high. It was reachable, but impossible to fit through.

She recognized the pigeon though. It belonged to a flock that lived on top of Kai's building and often sat on his terrace. That was when an idea hit her. She tore off a piece of her shirt and lured the pigeon in with some scraps of the meal her captors supplied her.

Once she caught the pigeon, she tied the piece to it's leg with a knot type her and Kai made up when they were little and sent it on it's way.
