Fight

When I arrived at the establishment, my mobile rang again. It was another message from my friend asking me not to be late. I opened the door while answering her message. However, I bumped into someone and almost fell to the floor. And, I say almost, as if it wasn't for some arms around my waist tightly.

-Sorry, miss, I didn't see you. - Says one boy as he puts his phone in his pocket. He's bullied by another who shakes his head in disappointment and drags him out of the shop.

I hear someone apologizing. I looked up to see whose voice sounded familiar. It's the boy from last time. I had him in front of me.

He was so close to me that I could see his beautiful brown eyes. His skin was very light, so light that it resembled porcelain, his nose was straight and sharp, he had black hair that made him look so... so...

My eyes automatically moved down to his lips that had a pinkish tone. I had never seen a being as perfect as him. I looked into his eyes again, making me lose myself in them, forgetting everything around me.

A woman's voice brought me back to reality. It was an employee of the place. I responded awkwardly, trying not to sound nervous.

The man who had taken the boy he had collided with a few moments ago returned, but when they saw us, they stood there looking at us with expectant eyes.

They said a couple of things, but I didn't understand anything they said or why they were behaving like that, or at least not until I saw my arms touching the boy's chest. For his part, he was still hugging me tightly.

He apologized for what happened in a nervous voice as he looked at the floor and wiped his hands on his trousers. He looked so adorable. It made me want to hug him.

I answered as I scolded myself mentally. What was I thinking? What was wrong with me? Would I throw myself into the arms of a stranger? I was not such a bold woman. So to try to appear normal, I tried to maintain eye contact.

An awkward silence arose. To remove the awkwardness, I ended up introducing myself. Why was I introducing myself? What will he think of me? I had a big problem. My mouth spoke before my mind.

My problem didn't seem so bad after all. I finally knew the name. I was happy to see him and talk to him in a "normal" way. When I was celebrating internally, I saw a beautiful smile appear, he was so...

A young female employee handed him a box of snacks. She was flirting with him. Her look and her smile gave her away, but what is it with young girls nowadays? I thought internally.

-It's not necessary.- Louis refused the sweets, but she ignored him and placed them in his hands. The girl walked away quickly, looking at him sideways.

We both watched her walk away, or well. It was just me. I noticed she smiled again and shook her head. Did he like the girl? Did he like being flirted with by women like that? For some reason, I felt nervous at the thought, but I followed the direction of his gaze, and I saw that the two boys I was with were watching us from a window. I let out a chuckle at the sight of their faces after being discovered.

-I'd better go.- He said in a deep voice. My heart squeezed when I heard this. It was a pleasure to see you again.

-Yes, it was nice to see you again. - I hope the disappointment in my voice doesn't show. As I was about to turn around, I saw Louis stop to look at me and give me a beautiful smile and then disappear from my sight. My heart began to pound.

I came out of my trance, I saw the time on my mobile phone, and I was already late. I ran to ask for my order. The first thing I hear is that the employees are talking about him. They all seemed excited and kept mentioning how handsome he was. I finished my shopping and left the place. I had to feed my friend before she started eating her work materials.

I was about to arrive at my best friend's house when I heard a loud sound, followed by screams coming from inside the house. I rushed to the room where the noise was coming from, and when I saw that the door wouldn't open, I decided to kick it open. Once I managed to open it, I saw my friend's sculptures, paintings and other works lying on the floor. The studio was a mess.

After a few seconds, I saw Chris, who was about to hit her. I ran as fast as I could and hit her face. I think I had such a grudge against him that it was showed when he fell to the ground and spat some blood, looking at me with a smirk on his face.

-Well, look who decided to show up! - He said as she stood up and wiped the traces of blood from her mouth.

-Get out! Before I call the police! - I shouted, hugging my friend while trying to calm her crying.

He approached me with a smile full of mockery and contempt. I stepped in front of my friend to hide her behind me. He reached out his hand and took a lock of my hair that was covering my face. He put it behind my ear and then touched my cheek with his hand while he looked at me as if he was longing for something from me.

As he was about to say something, his phone interrupted him. He moved a little away from us and rejected the call. My friend ran towards the phone and tried to make a call.

Chris looked up, and when he saw her, he laughed and shook his head.

-Go away, I don't want you anywhere near Sasha or me!... Get out!... Now! - Said my friend while throwing objects at him.

-I'm going, but I don't promise to come back and have fun with you. - Chris said, approaching me again.

My body tensed when I noticed his presence. He leaned a little and whispered, "I'll be back, and this time I'm going to have you". My mind went blank at his words, then he touched my face and kissed my other cheek.

When I reacted, I gave him a kick in the crotch that made him fall to his knees as he cursed me.

-Damn it, sweetheart! Why are you treating me like this? - He shouted, standing up and approached the door. -See you soon, sweetheart. - She winked at me and gave my friend a spiteful look.

When she left the room, my friend ran into my arms. I hugged her as tight as I could while I told her that everything would be okay. I don't know how long we stayed like that, but I heard his stomach growling. I let out a laugh, which seconds later was accompanied by a laugh from my friend.

-Come. It's time to feed before your stomach decides to eat me. - I took Ashley's hand and watched her shake her head in approval. I cleared one of the tables and set out the bags of food that were still warm.

We sat down to eat without saying anything. When I finished, I put the rest in the bags, and without saying anything, I began to pick up the mess in the room. Now and then, I glanced at my friend, who was sitting in the chair with teary eyes looking at her beautiful shredded work. Once I finished cleaning up, I went over and gave her a hug and a kiss on her forehead. She clung to me for a few seconds.

-Can I stay at your house? I don't want my mum to come and see me like this. Besides, I have to tell you what happened. -

-Ash, you know my house is yours too. Listening to you talk and laugh is what I love most about being your friend. You know I love you, don't you? -

-Thank you, I love you too. Thank you for always being with me. - Said my friend taking my hand.

-Come on, maybe I can drive? -

-No, Sasha, it's not necessary. I don't want you to drive.- She said before I could finish what he had to say.

-Hahaha. How badly do I drive? - I said in a nervous voice.

-Sasha, you know it's not that. I know you're scared to drive. You don't even get on the driver's side. If it were up to you, you'd be walking everywhere. - Ashley said while keeping a small smile on her lips. -Let's take a taxi.-

I let out a sigh. My friend was right. Maybe one day I'll get over it, just like everything else. We grabbed our stuff and went out to find a taxi, which didn't take long to show up. Once we got to my house, I checked and fixed the wires. I looked all over the house to see if there was anything strange. I didn't say anything to Ashley because I didn't want to worry her after everything that had happened today. I went into the living room to get something to drink and sat down next to her on the couch. After all, we both had a lot to tell each other.
