The Party (Part 2)

Mika stepped up to the guys, next to Grace's table.

"Where are you going?", Grace noticed her.

"nowhere. I found someone from my class, just going to greet them.", she replied.

"Oh, alright.", she got back talking to Tracy.

"Dude isn't that the second chick we saw today?", one of the guys pointed out.

"Looks like she's coming here."

"Let her, she's also a hot rack.", the leader guy said.

Mika jumped in front of them, she had the cutest expression.

"Hello Guys!! Isn't it a wonderful evening?", she approached.

"It sure it. What would your name be cutie?", the leader guy asked.

"Mika!", she replied smiling, "and you would be?"

"I'm Brad. And these are my friends.", he said while pointing out the guys behind him.

"Oh, that's nice. Hello to all!", she waved at everyone.

"So what's on your mind girl? Are you enjoying the night?"

"Well, I am. But isn't the night kind of dull?", she put her finger on her lip.

"It sure is doll. What do you say, should we light it up?", Brad came closer to her.

"Why only us? Don't your friends also want to have a good time?", Mika winked.

"I like what you are thinking girl. So where do you want to light up our night?", Brad asked as his friends were drooling behind. For them, it was a perfect time. No force, no teasing but a girl approaching herself. Obviously, they would like it.

"Let's head out, I don't think we would be able to have fun unless we're alone."

As Mika was luring everyone out from the backdoor, Nate was watching from a distance. His eyes were fixed on them. His smile was gone, his eyes were filled with rage. As soon as all of them left, he clenched his fist and stepped ahead.

Brad and his gang were out, from the backdoor they landed straight into an empty cramped alley. No one was to be seen around.

He came ahead and wrapped his arm around Mika's waist from behind. "Let's get the real party started.", he whispered.

Little did he know what was coming.

She pushed her elbow down his stomach with all force. As he was taken aback, in a quick motion she punched his face, making him land on the floor.

"Don't you dare touch me scum.", she said calmly as her eyes were filled with rage.

"What the hell bitch! What's your problem?!", Brad got up and wiped the blood off his torn lip.

"Says the guy who has been following me and my friend all night.", she smirked as she dusted off her hand.

"Is that what's it all about?", one of the guys in black leather jacket approached.

"Yes", she gave out an evil smile, "that is ALL it's about."

"You messed up with the wrong guy weak bitch, Do you-"

Before he could finish, she punched the guy down and without wasting time kicked him right between the legs.

"Shut your trap.", she put her foot on the guy's face as he was lying on the ground.

"I might look like a little cat, but just so you know, I'm a black belt.", she said with the most innocent smile she could pull off.

Brad got furious. His face was red with anger. He couldn't take up the reality of a single girl beating up two guys right in front of him. It was too much for his typical man ego to handle.

"Six against one! Just teach this sneaky brat the lesson of her life!", Brad shouted with rage.

In a flick of a second, the door opened from his behind. Brad was knocked on the ground with someone's leg on his neck.

It was Nate.

"Ugh, you are too early.", Mika scowled, "at least let me have my fun."

Nate smiled at her, "then let's have fun together."

Brad screamed out and got up trying to hit Nate but he dodged.

Both of them were surrounded by six men, but by their looks, they had the confidence of a chess player who knows he has won the match.

Nate got ahead to take up Brad and his companion. He didn't even give two of them the chance to hit. He was so quick to his move that those two couldn't even predict what he was doing. "Don't you try looking at that girl, filthy trap", Nate kicked Brad onto his friend as they both fell off to hit the pole.

Mika elbowed the guy behind her, going against the prediction of the guy in front of her. Without wasting any moment, she kicked off the guy in front and moved rapidly to the next one. She held him by his arm from his back and threw him off at the guy with a black jacket.

The fight didn't last even for ten minutes.

As Brad was groaning on the ground, Nate came up to him. He lifted his feet and placed it on his chest. His gaze was as if the demon was looking at himself. His face didn't have any expression other that idea to kill. His aura was beaming out.

"Do whatever you want buddy. But don't try to come near my girl.", he declared.

Both Mika and Nate left the alley and went back. The guys didn't step back to the party.

BAM!

Mika punched his head.

"Who told you she's your girl freak!?", Mika scoffed.

Nate soothed his head and stood up against Mika face to face. Although Mika is too short for him so he had to look down.

"I don't need anyone's permission kid.", he flicked her.

She held on to his collar and shouted, "She's mine you prick! And I'm not giving her to anyone. Especially you."

They both stared at each other's eyes for ten seconds.

Sigh~

"I'm too tired today", Mika said.

"Yeah, let's continue sometime later.", Nate stretched out.

"By the way, good job", Mika muttered little embarrassingly.

Nate was shocked. 'Is this girl alright? she didn't hit her head, did she?'

But in the end, he understood. He chuckled, "yeah! You too."

Mika also let out her smile as she saw Nate's expression.

"let's get back."

"There she is!", Mika pointed out.

Nate looked like as if the ground beneath his feet was crumbling. Grace was there, but NOT ALONE!

Who was this guy! What is she doing? Who the hell does he think he is!? I think I need to teach this guy a little piece of work!

"Nate are you okay?", Mika asked as she was confused at his frozen body and burning face.

She looked towards Grace; it was Tracy with her. At that moment she figured out what happened.

"Oh damn! Who is that guy? I don't know him", she acted dumb. "Hmm, looks like Grace is having a pretty good time with her. Not to mention, the guy is super cute."

At that moment Tracy whispered something into Grace's ear. She blushed out with a smile on her face.

That was it! Nate completely lost it. He stormed towards Grace's table like he's ready to kill someone. Mika followed him as she had a devilish smile on her face.

"Oh really?", Grace was laughing.

"Yeah I mean he was-"

THUMP!

Nate fisted on their table in front of Tracy.

Tracy flinched as he saw Nate looking at him like a predator looks at his pray.

He grabbed him by his collar and brought his face closer towards him.

Grace was shocked, "hey don't! Put him down!"

Nate completely ignored her, "Who the hell are you?!"

"umm, Tracy? If you wanna know my name.", he chuckled nervously.

"And what's your business with Grace?"

"Oh well, there was no one around her so-"

"So, you thought you had a shot with her!?", Nate shouted.

"eek no! I thought I would give her company-"

Grace was worried as hell; she was saying over and over to stop it but Nate wasn't listening.

"Mika!", Grace approached her with teary eyes.

"aw, what happened?"

"Tell them to stop!"

"Alright alright. Calm down."

Mika stood there in front of Nate, but she knew it was useless.

"Listen, dude! Don't you think that you can have a shot with her or use her in any fucking way!", Nate declared.

"What shot! I already have a boyfriend! Leave me you creep.", Tracy shouted as he was demented.

The situation went to, Nate's "eh?", with a blank face; Mika's chuckle and Grace having no idea even now.

Mika burst into laugh seeing that awkward silence. Nate respectfully released Tracy, stepped back. Tracy was scared as hell, but while seeing Nate's expression he somehow got a little pity on him.

Nate took a deep breath and bowed swiftly with all his energy. "I'm really very sorry about all this! Please forgive me!"

Tracy was surprised. He quickly approached to Nate, "Hey don't do that. It's alright. I understand why you did that."

Nate pulled up is head and glowered on Mika, who wasn't even looking at him and whistling to the other direction as nothing happened.

"What the hell was that!?", Grace came forward.

"Oh, I'm really sorry Grace."

"Sorry? Why would you do it in the first place?", Grace was furious.

Nate didn't have any option other than this.

He pulled up a really sad look, looked down like a kid who has been scolded and replied, "I thought this guy was going to take advantage of you. I didn't want that."

There are a lot of things that Grace is weak against. One of them is a sad face and teary eyes.

"Okay okay, I understand", Grace sighed, "Just don't do it again!"

"Okay! I'll be careful", Nate's smile lit up.

Grace smiled at him back happily. "grr", Mika was standing there annoyed by how Nate had his way.

"But why were you blushing when he whispered something in your ears?!", Nate enquired.

"Th- That's because-", she flustered.

"Because?!", his heart was beating loud. His body was completely shaking from nervousness.

"Because my ears are… sensitive-", Grace muttered in a low tone as she avoided eye contact with him and looked the other way.

Nate could not get enough of this expression. She was blushing so cutely! His urge to hug her was overflowing, he stood there on the verge of having a nosebleed.

"Hey don't make fun of me!", Grace shouted.

"N-No! I was DEFINITELY NOT making fun of you!", Nate explains.

Tracy was standing there with Mika, "he loves her right?"

Mika nodded.

"And let me guess, she doesn't have any clue?"

She shook her head, as she put a lollipop in her mouth.

"Oh boy, I pity him."

It was midnight when they all left.

"I guess I'll be leaving now.", Tracy moved forward.

"Hey, sorry again man.", Nate apologized.

He smirked at him, "don't be dude. Your love life already is."

Mika burst into laughter again. Grace was again, clueless. 'he said he doesn't have a girlfriend though.', she thought to herself. Tracy left the place before Nate would come to him.

"Oh shut up!", he turned to Mika. "Hey do you guys wanna get a late-night snack? I know a good place around."

"Yeah! Sounds like fun.", Grace got excited.

"Yeah, you can just show us the way and go back home. I would enjoy that.", Mika scoffed.

Before Nate could say anything, his phone rang. "Just a second", he moved a little away.

"You finally got the chance to call?"

~Well this time I finally got a chance to see you again~

"No way!"

~I'm back. For good this time. No more leaving. ~

"Dude, I can't believe this-", Nate's voice cracked as if he was about to cry.

~If you are that happy come over to airport right now. I'm gonna live with you at your place. ~

"Wait what!"

~ Why? Did you get a roommate? ~

"You know that place is just for you.", he looked at Grace. "Ugh! Asshole couldn't you have come in the morning! It was my one chance."

~ I don't know what you are talking about, but get here right now! I literally have all my luggage here to move back. ~

"Ugh fine. Text me the address. I'll be right there."

Nate turned back to Grace and Mika. From their expression it was obvious they knew it was someone important.

"Was it your long-lost wife?", Mika mocked him.

"Shut up! It was a guy!"

"So, a long-lost husband?"

Nate was annoyed more than he ever was. He knew she was doing it on purpose. 'I wish to flick her head, but Grace is around.', he thought to himself.

"Seems like someone made you really happy.", Grace smiled at her.

Nate was mesmerized by Grace's level of understanding things. He was utterly happy.

"I'm sorry, I'll have to cancel."

"Okay. Take care of things there.", Grace smiled as if she knew everything already.

Nate thought he couldn't fall more for her, but he was wrong. Every second he comes to knows Grace more, he falls for her, more and more.

"Alright!"
