Destroy me - KAI PARKER

43. || Rebound

- KAI -

With crossed arms I leaned against the truck and tried to find Layla in the crowd of swimming people. Her red bikini made it quite easy to recognize her.
She was truly the most beautiful woman here, every guy had their eyes on her. It bothered me, but mostly his eyes bothered me.

"What?"

Damon huffed while still looking at Layla. I couldn't take my eyes off her either, but he wasn't allowed to look at her like that. Not when I was around. Not when I still had the chance to get her back.

"You're looking at the wrong girl."

He scoffed and finally turned his old man face to me. "Your girl is over there." I pointed my head to Elena. She was drinking a beer and talking to Matt. "So you're telling me that Layla is your girl?"
I remained silent.

"Yeah thought so too buddy."

As he wanted to look at her again, I motused his head back to me. I would not allow him to look at what's mine like a horny dog.

"Hey!"

A devilish smirk spread on my face when Damons desperate tries to look at Layla failed. I was too powerful for this stupid little vampire.

"Listen here you little weasel! You screwed up okay? She moved on–"

"Yeah right.."

I scoffed at his meaningless comment and rolled my eyes. Layla could pretend that she's happy, but I knew that a part of her still cared about me.

"You don't believe me.. Well go ask her yourself how it was to get fucked by me."

My hands turned into fists. He was bluffing. Layla would never sleep with him. "I didn't know she had a tattoo on her hip. Girl is full of surprises huh?" My fist bumped against his face. Sadly, he was a vampire so he didn't care at all.

"Did you really think she loved you? Man.. I was her first love, she would always choose me first."

"You're just a rebound."

Damon smirked miraculously. "Yea.. rebound." He just signed his death sentence. Anger started burning inside my chest. To be emotional was so god damn exhausting! I was mad at Damon, I was mad at Layla but mostly I was mad at myself.
If I hadn't screwed everything up we would now be on an island enjoying our lives.

"Just look at that girl Kai– Seriously take a look at her."

I did what Damon told me and glanced over to Layla. She walked out of the water. Her hips moving in perfect motions, while she brushed the brown hair out of her face.

"She's a freaking goddess man–"

My eyes closed shut as he told me about her. When I opened my eyes again I saw a guy approaching her in the grossest way possible. He laid his hands on her waist and pulled her closer.

As I was about to walk up to them to rip this guys head off, Damon pushed me back in my place.
She was in danger what the hell was he doing!?
But I quickly realized that he wanted me to see what happens.

Layla played along and started dancing with that guy. His hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her back against his front, making my whole body tens up.

"How long did you think it was gonna be before some guy comes along and is actually interested in her? Not just your sociopathic feelings, no, I mean true feelings. What are you gonna do when that happens?"

"I- I'm just gonna take it as it comes."

Damon laughed sarcastically and shook his head.

"You're gonna take it as it comes? Well you should figure out now because that guy is not gonna be your best friend, he's not gonna ask for your permission–"

"He's gonna take one look at that woman and cut right in."

With a clenched jaw and darkened eyes I pushed Damon aside and made my way up to Layla and that guy.

I grabbed her hand, separating her from him before punching my fist into his face repeatedly.
"Kai what the fuck?!" When she placed her hand on my quickly rising chest I stopped beating him and turned my eyes to hers.

Damon looked at me with a satisfied grin on his lips, that son of a bitch! He wanted me to do this. He wanted her to see what I was capable of- But I just wanted to protect her. There were too many eyes on us now, so I took her wrist but the moment she let out a pain filled moan I stopped.

"Could you please stop hurting me?"

My throat dried out hearing her shaking voice begging me for this. I gently wrapped my hand around her wrist and pulled her away from everyone else..
