Chapter 39: A Confrontation

Davids POV

I went to the office the next morning and tried calling Kara again. Again no response. I knew her classes started today. I then called Marcus.

" Yes boss." he stated as he answered the phone.

" Where are you?" I asked him.

" Waiting outside Karas house, so I can take her to class." he stated.

I already knew that, but I wanted to make sure he was outside her house. She was going to get harassed and possibly intimidated to either show up or back out of the fight. I wanted to make sure she did not get hurt and was able to train. I knew Ryan would do whatever it took, so his girlfriend would win the fight between herself and Kara. He always did that to her opponents. They did not like to lose.

I was not sure if she would lose. Kara was nowhere near as good as her. She would get her ass handed to her right now. I really needed her to get ready for this fight.

" Good give her a message for me. Tell her to call me." I stated.

" If she refuses to call you, what do I do then?" Marcus asked.

" Then bring her to me at the office." I stated.

" She probably is going to tell you she doesn't want to speak to me," I stated.

Marcus just chuckled. I then got off the phone and went back to work. I was going to get her to talk to me one way or another. I love her and want a future with her. I was in the middle of checking production reports when I remembered to call Karas school. I wanted to tell her teacher that she was going to be running late.

" Hello, this is Mechelle from the Community College," the woman who answered the phone stated.

" Yes, it's David Bier," I stated.

" Oh hi Mr. Bier." she replied.

I knew she knew who I was. My company helped fund many classes and helped them expand their programs.

" What can I do for you?" she asked.

" You have a student who is special to me. She will be running late this morning." I stated.

" Well, I'm running late myself," Mechelle stated.

" The student's name is Kara," I stated.

" Thank you for letting me know," she stated.

After she hung up, I went back to work. I finished going over the production reports. Production was up. Which was a good thing that ment we were getting large orders. It looks like I need to hire more people. To keep up with the demand. I was in the middle of putting a hiring ad on the internet when my cell phone rang. I knew who it was by the ringtone I had downloaded specifically for her. I answered the phone.

" Hello," she stated.

" You wanted me to call you," she asked.

" Yes, I wanted to see if you are OK sweetheart," I stated.

"My mother and I got into an argument this morning," she stated.

There was no reason to ask what it was about. I already knew. Which was going to make seeing her even harder and more dangerous.

" I already know what it was about," I stated.

" David, I promise I will call you when I get out of class," she stated.

" Make sure you do." I responded.

" I love you Kara," I stated.

I hear her drop the phone. She hung up real quick after picking up the phone. Which made me wonder if any other man besides her father had ever told her that they loved her. I will have to ask her about it. I knew she had feelings for me, or she wouldn't have gotten mad at me. It did not take rocket science to figure it out.

I knew that she had to work tonight. She is working in the evenings now. She was still going to be attending a karate class. But she was going to be tired and worn out. I looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost 3. Her class ended in about 20 minutes. I decided that I was going to meet her at work and talk to her in person. Cindy, her boss, wouldn't mind if she was late.

I was turning the corner when I saw Marcus' car. It was stopped about a block from the diner. There was a blue mustang parked by the curb. I immediately recognized the car. I was Ryans car. So the harassment starts. Ryan has Kara stopped in front of the car. I can see that they are exchanging words. I pulled up behind Marcus' car.

I did not know if he saw me or not. So I just stayed in the car. Ryan reached to grab Kara and Marcus was out of the car and standing in front of her. One thing about us being friends since childhood was karate training. We were taught to move fast. We moved faster than most people. I stepped out of the car and leaned against my car. I could overhear the conversation.

" Can I help you gentlemen," Marcus asked.

" No you cannot, but she can," he stated as he pointed to Kara.

" What can she help with?" Marcus responded.

" She can let me beat the hell out of her for giving me a black eye." he stated.

" You can go fuck yourself." she responded.

She did have a spunky attitude, and she did have a mouth on her. After she told him to fuck himself, he swung on Marcus who ducked and avoided getting hit. The second man that I did not know then swung on Kara. I was out of the car and in front of Kara as fast as lightening. She was crouched down with her eyes closed. I had the man pinned against a pole.

" Leave her alone till the match," David stated.

" She hurt my pride. She will pay." the man stated.

" Really, Ryan, you are going to let a woman hit you and wound your pride," David stated.

" I cannot wait until Whitney tears her apart," Ryan stated.

" Now leave." David stated.

After I ordered them to leave, I grabbed Kara and dragged her to the car. I opened the door and practically threw her in the back seat. I was angry about the whole situation. I was angry with her for following me to the fights. Then I was angry because now she was in danger. I knew she was shocked at my gruffness. I could tell by the look of fear on her face.
