Chapter Eighteen . . . Creepy Ryan
Cat's POV
I walked into work the next day hand-in-hand with Gavin. Everyone in the office stared at us with confusion, except for Barbara, Lindsay, and Kara who all had large grins on their faces.
"What are they staring at?" Gavin whispered in my ear.
I grinned back at them before look back at Gavin, "Nothing Gavin. Nothing at all."
We continued to the office where we met the boys.
"OH GOD!" Michael yelled before gagging and I stared at him confused.
"What is wrong with you?" I asked.
"There is so much lovey dovey shit that it's making me sick." Michael explained with a grin.
What an idiot.
Gavin rolled his eyes and gave me a kiss on the cheek before running over and tackling Ryan.
I couldn't only laugh before walking over to Ray who had his headphones on his ears and was intensely staring at his screen and chewing like a horse.
I gently tapped on his shoulder and he turned to me surprised at first, and then he smiled showing off whatever was in his teeth at that moment.
"What are you doing?" I asked holding back a giggle.
"Editing." He said as he chewed and I raised and eyebrow.
"You want to swallow that first, buddy?" I asked and I watched as he swallowed.
"Sorry about that." He turned to his desk and back at me with a plate in his hands.
"You want some horse o'dourves?" I stared at the plate in front of me and then back at Ray.
"Uh, Ray? Those are cheese and crackers." He looked down at the plate.
"This is the Mexican version of horseo'dourves." He announced before throwing the plate down jokingly.
"Jeez Cat, be considerate." Michael joked before turning around at his desk.
Gavin came up to me and put his hands on my shoulders. "Awe, leave my girl alone." He jokingly whined.
"Who says I'm your girl?" I asked and his face turned to surprising shock.
"Well, who's girl would you be?" He asked and I watched as the group of guys came at least an inch closer to hear where this argument was going to go.
"Well, I have a list."
"Am I on that list?" Ryan asked being creepy like always.
Gavin looked at him and glared, "You better not be." He growled out and I got up off of my chair and walked over to Ryan and sat in his lap.
"Yep, sorry Gavin. I didn't know how to tell you. The Rat ship has sailed."
"Did you just say . . . the rat ship?" Jack couldn't get out between laughs, and even Gavin grinned.
"Your children are going to have bloody tails!" Gavin busted out laughing with the rest of the crew. Geoff's laughter boomed the most.
Once we calmed down I patted Ryan on the shoulder. "Well, thanks for the seat and the team name."
"Can we get Jon Risinger in here, like now? That has to be a shirt." I stood up from Ryan's lap and instantly Gavin was by my side with his arm around my waist.
"So wot about our team name?" He winked.
"Hm, how about team loves?" I offered and he kissed me on the cheek.
"I like that a lot actually."
"Okay, well now that you to morons got a team name. I have to break you up." Geoff said as he came between us, separating me and Gavin.
"Wot?"
"Cat, today we are doing a versus. Gavin and Ray. Who ever wins this one is going to play against you."
"Okay, so what do I need to do?"
"Well, Patrick Rodriguez wants to draw your character for that, so . . . get the fuck out." Geoff said as he pushed me out the door and shut it behind me.
"Asshole." I muttered before walking out the kitchen area and spotted Miles.
"Hey Miles!" I yelled and his head popped out of the fridge.
"Yeah?"
"Where can I find Patrick Rodriguez's office?" He wiped his mouth on his arm before shutting the fridge door.
"Yeah, I'll show you." I began following Miles and making small talk along the way.
"So you enjoy the team, so far?" He asked and I couldn't help but grin.
"It's awesome. It's like I'm in one big family, although they do treat me like a little child."
"Well, you are the newest member and a girl as well." I shrugged.
"True."
"You know I was wondering if maybe sometime we could be on a short or something together. I think you would do awesome and I know that if we worked together it will be a funny video." I grinned.
"Yeah, you know I think I would like that." We approached a door.
"Okay, well here's Patrick's office." I went to knock but pulled my hand back and turned to Miles.
"Can you spare a couple of minutes?" His eyes scrunched together.
"Yeah, why?"
"I don't know Patrick real well and it would be nice to have someone in there with me to talk to." Miles gave a look like he understood what I was getting at.
"Sure." Miles turned to the door and opened it up. "Patrick, I got Cat here."
"Good. Bring her in." I heard a voice say.
I walked into the room and saw who I assumed to be Patrick.
"Hey Cat, it's nice to meet you." He stood up from his desk and shook my hand formally.
"It's nice to meet you too."
"I assumed Geoff sent you?" I nodded.
"Yes, you want to draw me, right?"
"Yeah. You've seen the versuses episodes, right?" I nodded.
"A couple."
"Well, with the achievement hunter crew already drawn for episodes, we need you drawn too."
"This isn't like the scene in the Titanic, right?" I joked and both Patrick and Miles chuckled.
"No, not at all. Actually I want you to give me your best kickass warrior stance you can give me."
"O-Okay?" I said unsure but stuck my foot in front me and put my hands in fists in a fighting stance.
"That's great. Now hold that pose." He began sketching me in his notebook.
"That's great Cat! You look like your going to murder someone!" Miles cheered and I couldn't help but smile.
"Do you want Cat or Catherine by your name?" Patrick asked.
"Cat, please." I answered.
"Do you want whiskers on your face?" He joked but I wasn't laughing.
"If you put fucking whiskers on me, I'll murder you." I warned but he only laughed.
"Okay, then. No whiskers." He said and continued drawing. "So how does it feel to be the only full time achievement hunter girl."
"Uh, it's great. It's really amazing."
"How is it dating Gavin?" Miles asked with a smirk in his voice.
"A pain." I teased before adding. "He's great, very caring and all that lovey dovey shit."
"Anything interesting happen between you two?" Miles asked, but I knew what he was trying to ask.
"Are you trying to ask if we've had sex yet?"
"Miles, she's got you man." Patrick laughed.
"Okay yeah, have you two have sex?"
"Do I have to answer that question?" I asked resisting the urge to flip him off.
"No, but I'm just going to assume that's a yes."
"Okay, it's a no, I mean we just started dating."
"Oh I'm going to bust Gavin on him getting no action." Miles teased and I rolled my eyes.
"You're an idiot."
"And your done." Patrick said sitting back in his seat.
"Already?" I asked moving to see his paper but Patrick snatched it away.
"It's not done, yet. I just had to sketch your stance." He explained.
"Well, thanks."
"No problem. I got to get back to the office, though."
"It was nice meeting you."
"You too. I'll see you around."
With that Miles and I exited the office and headed towards the achievement hunter area.
I listened at the door and listened as Geoff was, what I assumed, talking to the camera.
"Next week Ray will be playing against our newest employee C-" I cut Geoff off and jumped through the door.
"CAT DANIELS!" The guys began to cheer all except for Ray who came up to me with a determined look on his face.
"You are going down next week!" Ray said forcefully.
"Oh hell no, be prepared to get your ass whooped by a woman.Not like that's anything new though." There was a bunch of 'oo's' yelled by each man.
"True, very true. What can I say I'm a kinky bastard." Ray said to the camera with a shrug before it turned back to Geoff who was laughing.
"Let's stop!" The camera turned off and Ray through his arm around my shoulders.
"Did I tell you how awesome you are?" Ray asked.
"No, but that's okay because I already know." I winked at him.
"Well assholes, let's go take a little break before we start whatever the fuck we have to play next." Geoff said before leaving. The guys mumbled and followed behind him except for Gavin who stopped in front of me and grabbed my hands.
"Did you have fun getting drawn?"
"I don't really know. Did Patrick ask you to take your pants off too?" I asked jokingly.
"Actually now that I think about it he did have me completely naked and in a bent over position." He teased back and I smacked his arm playfully.
"Go take your break. I'm going to get a drink." I walked out to the hallway and all the way to the kitchen when suddenly I got a text.
Please come back. I need some . . . assistance. - Gavin
"Damn it Gavin, I just left." I managed to mumble out. I turned around and started walking back to the office deciding that Gavin really did need help or he was just going to sexually stress me out.
Suddenly my phone got another text message.
"Oh my God Gavin!"
I'm watching you - unknown
I stared at the text and realized that if this was Gavin I was going to murder him, slowly.
I walked back to the office and saw that all the lights were off and that it was dark.
"Gavin?" I called out and when I walked in the door behind me slammed and I let out a scream, and ran back to the door trying to open it but for some reason it wouldn't open.
Suddenly the lights came back on and Ryan stood on the other side of the room laughing.
"RYAN!" I yelled and the door opened behind me revealing a concerned Gavin, Ray, Geoff, Michael, and Jack.
"What the hell is going on?" Burnie and Lindsay then ran in.
"I heard screaming." Burnie told us and looked at me who had tears in my eyes.
"Jesus, Cat." Gavin said and wrapped his arms around my waist and that's when I noticed that I was shaking.
"What the hell were thinking Ryan?" Burnie asked as he came over to me and stared at me. "Cat are you okay?" Burnie asked and I nodded and shrugged Gavin off of me.
"Yeah, I just need a minute." I walked over to Ray's desk and propped my hands on it, just taking deep breaths in and out as I pushed past memories out of my head.
"Cat, I'm so sorry. I just saw Gavin's phone and thought it would be funny."
"Well, it wasn't." Geoff said angrily.
"Stop. All of you, I'm fine." I said and looked on Ray's desk and saw the can of spray cheese sitting there just calling my name.
"Cat please, I am SO sorry." Ryan apologized again and I was able to nonchalantly pick up the can.
"You know what Ryan," I started and turned around with the can behind my back. "I am," I pointed the can at him and wrote 'O.K.' on his shirt. "Okay." I winked at him before throwing the can down.
Ryan looked down at his shirt and then back up at me. "I deserved that." He observed and I nodded. "But you know what I think?" The group of people stared at us.
"What?"
"I think we should hug it out." Ryan opened his arms and came towards me but I stepped back.
"Ryan if you do that I'm going to chop off your balls and feed them to you." I warned and he stopped.
"Okay, then."
"Alright assholes, get back to work." Burnie ordered before shaking his head and rolling his eyes.
Everyone left the room except for Geoff, Gavin, and Ryan who all stared at me, a little worried.
"Cat, I really didn't mean to scare you so bad." I shook my head.
"It's alright Ryan, we're cool. I just . . . had some bad memories." I looked up at Ryan who had a look of confusion on his face. "Don't think about it too much Ryan."
"Okay, I'm going to go get a drink, you want something?" He asked and I shook my head with a smile. He went to turn but I stopped him.
"Did you send me that other text message too?" I asked him wondering if the creepy text was just the Mad King messing with me.
"What other text, I just sent you that one from Gavin's phone." My heart started to pound along with my head as I realized that maybe there was someone watching me.
"Oh, it must've been from someone else then."
"Cat are you sure your okay?" Gavin's voice pushed through causing me to calm down.
"Yeah, you look pale." Geoff added and I smiled at them.
"Guys I'm fine, just a little shaken up from the whole Mad King trying to give me a fucking heart attack." I sat in a chair at Gavin's desk.
"Am I ever getting a desk?" I asked Geoff changing the subject.
"I sent out the order, it should be here any day now." Geoff looked at Gavin who was giving him, 'leave us alone for a minute,' look. "I'll actually go check that out now." Geoff mumbled before walking out of the room just leaving Gavin and I.
Gavin pulled up a chair and sat in front of me, he took my hands in his and kissed them. "Love, I'm sorry I wasn't here." I shook my head.
"Gavin relax, okay? It was just Ryan being well . . . Ryan." I confirmed even though I was still secretly shaken up, especially with this stalker.
"I just want to make sure because I know that with your past-" I cut him off by smashing my lips to his. When he moaned in my mouth I pulled away and laid my forehead on his.
"Can we not talk about this right now?" I asked, "please." I was able to whisper.
"Do you know what you do to me?" He whispered back.
"Oh God, can you guys keep your hands off of each other for like two fucking seconds!" We pulled away from each other and saw the crew staring at us, some even had there phones out, recording us.
"You are like horny teenagers!!" Ray laughed before Geoff pushed his way through.
"Alright assholes, let's get to work!"
