football practise?” I asked hoping he said he did so he wouldn’t see me leaving with Kai.
“Nope, coach cancelled it as none of us wanted to play in the heat.”
Great
, I thought.
A conflict is just what I need.
“Oh, he’d really do that? You lot are a bunch of wimps,” I said feeling slightly more like my old self. Telling the truth and admitting the likelihood of my dad’s death seemed to have taken some of the weight off my shoulders.
“Yeah Yeah, you netball girls have it so much easier.” I elbowed him in the ribs as we walked through the door, to see crowds of girls all staring in one direction.
I had already guessed what they were looking at before I saw him. He was once again leaning against his black Lambo, arms folded as he watched the door.
“Who the hell is that?”
I cringed as he spoke, not wanting to answer him.
“That’s...um, that’s Kai,” I said, flinching as I waited for a torrent of words to flow my way. None came though, instead I looked over to see Ian had already begun striding towards him, fists clenched at his side.
Shit this isn’t what I need right now.
Hurrying after him I called out, trying to get him to stop, but of course he wasn’t listening. Kai turned his head towards us as we approached him, pushing himself of his car in what I guessed was preparation to fight if necessary.
“What are you doing here? Didn’t she tell you what I’d do if I ever saw your face round these parts?” He jerked his thumb angrily in my direction, obviously not put off by the size difference. Ian had a good physique too but he was toned rather than muscular like Kai. I gave up protesting as neither of them were listening to me and just watched. I didn’t know how Kai was going to react to Ian but I definitely didn’t expect him to throw his head back and laugh.
“What’s so funny? You don’t believe me?”
I tried to step in between them but Ian pushed me to the side.
“Stay out of the way Rea. I warned you what would happen if he ever came here Rea.”
I don’t know if he meant to push me so hard but it caused me to stumble and I ended up on the floor. Seeing this Kai’s eyes suddenly got darker, his joking no longer visible.
“Don’t you lay another hand on her,” he hissed through his clenched jaw as he walked towards me, holding his hand out to help me up, his eyes never leaving Ian’s. I looked around embarrassed by the scene and once I did I regretted it instantly. There must have been at least a hundred people looking on from the distance, waiting to see how far the guys would take it.
Kai wrapped his arm around my shoulders as he pulled me towards his car, making sure he kept his body between Ian and myself.
“You hurt?” he asked, his eyes still on Ian and he guided me to the open passenger door. I shook my head in response. “Wait in the car.” I shook my head again, there was no way I was leaving those two out there on their own, I didn’t want to witness another fight.
“Bit possessive isn’t he Rea?”
Before I was worried about Ian, now I was just pissed.
“Go home Ian, you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into.” Before Kai had finished Ian’s fist flew at his face. Kai quickly dodged the punch though, stepping to the side while pushing me out the way. Then quicker than I thought possible he grabbed Ian’s arm in a vice like grip using the momentum to catch him off balance and twist his arm up behind his back. Ian raised his leg to try and kick back at Kai’s shin but on seeing this Kai pulled his arm slightly higher, causing him to yelp in pain.
“I told you to go home. Rea isn’t your girlfriend anymore and you have no right to start throwing punches.” Kai had lowered his head so his mouth was right next to Ian’s ear.
“You are lucky I have so much more self control than you, but be warned; if you ever try something like that again you’ll spend your whole life regretting it. You have no idea what I’m capable
