Knuckleball (Closed)

"Well you ask me to make this the perfect date. I did for me." He smiled at her wrapping her in for a hug. "The perfect date is just being with you." He leaned for kiss before laughing at himself. "To cheesy."
 
"Yeah... And a little...odd..." She said "taking a girl to the middle of a dark place is a little creepy..."
 
"It's not even dark besides I wouldn't do anything to you weren't comfortable with." He replied. "Don't worry about the date I got us a dinner reservation unless you have something else in mind."
 
"Okay..." She said "I'm sorry, I just don't like being out late... It always makes me nervous..." She sighed wrapping her arms around him.
 
At least she took comfort with him. "Are you alright? I mean you didn't have a problem walking from my house to yours last night."
 
"I'm fine..." She said "it wasn't late then... But I'm alright..." She looked down trying to not be nervous.
 
He didn't believe her words, but he didn't want to ask. He walked with her near him his arm around her shoulder until they got to well lit area. "Whats wrong you were seem tense back there?"
 
"I just didn't feel safe..." She sighed "it's no big deal, just let it go..." She said sitting down on a bench "so... What do you want to do?"
 
He wanted to push the anwser out of her, but maybe it was for the best if he dropped it. He sat next to her on the bench. "I think we should just go home. I don't feel like going out." He didn't want to disappoint her. "Lets just get takeout and watch a movie."
 
"I was actually looking forward to dinner..." She said disappointed "but fine... If you really want to go home you can go."
 
"No we can still go to dinner." He had no idea what to do. "I just don't want to leave you alone."
 
"Can we please just go?" She asked "I don't want to ruin everything you had planned. Please let's go have dinner... I'm starving...."
 
"Yeah lets go." They started walking towards this italian place around the block. Not really far even though he was hunger he kept looking at Bella making sure she was ok. They arrived it wasn't very pack so it was quick for them to get a table. "Order anything you like." He smiled at her while browsing his menu.
 
"Thanks..." Bella said her mind clearly elsewhere as she absentmindedly opened her menu, her eyes fixed on a couple, another baseball player from his team and a black haired girl, a few tables away.
 
Ken just decided on some lasagna. He looked up at his date to see her staring off into space. "What are you looking at?" Now wanting to attract attention, but secretly wanting turning around to look.
 
She took a deep breath looking back at her menu "just the reason I got scared earlier... And some girl he's with..." She said figuring it would just be easier to tell him the truth.
 
Again he didn't want to turn around. Who could frighten her that bad. "Bella I would tell you if something is wrong. Now you have to tell me whats wrong?" He was concerned about her he didn't want someone to scare her or even worse hurt her.
 
"It was before you even moved here...." She said "I shouldnt be worried. I'm probably just over reacting... I'm fine, he didn't hurt me that bad..." She said just staring at her menu.

His eyes glazed over what did she mean by hurt. Ken knew to never hurt a woman no matter what. Here she is acting like it was ok. "Bella What did he do and what's his name?" His voice was cold like he was out for vengeance.
 
"Just a couple scrapes and bruises..." She said putting down her menu "I'm pretty sure that wasn't what he was trying to accomplish but I got away okay..." She sighed hoping he wouldn't look over, the last thing she wanted was problems between him and one of his teammates.
 
Scraps and bruises it was even worse than he thought. When she said she got away he figured the puzzle. "Bella did he rape you?" He was ready for a fight, but wanted to get his facts straight before throwing punches.
 
"No." She said quickly, looking at him "it might have been what he wanted... But he didn't get it..." She said quietly "maybe we should just go... You were right we should have went and watched a movie at your apartment..."
 
"No this man hurt you. I'm going to make him pay." He looked behind them seeing his teammate and starting pitcher Anthony. What shock him more was seeing Natasha. He had two options risk his spot on the team also reveling his dirty laundry to Bella. Or walking out and letting the cops handle this. "Bella you either come clean and tell the police or I go over their and kick that disgusting piece of trash ass." He didn't want to force her to choose, but he couldn't let him get away with it.
 
"The cops wound do anything...." She sighed "but I can't let you fight him either... What if you get hurt? And I'm sure you're team would be so supportive of you hitting someone you play with... Please let's just go...."
 
"Your right let's go meet me outside while I pay the check." He knew she was right, but what she doesn't see won't hurt her. He just needed to wait until she was out of their.
