Beaten

(The week after Lynnon was finished with a few designs for the posters. Near the end of the day when people were clearing out Ezekiel comes into her room to see her gathering up her papers)

Ezekiel-" You ready to go?"

Lynnon-" The creative director said Chimon wanted to see me after to check out the posters or whatever. You can go home first, I'll go later"

Ezekiel-" Nah I'll just wait for you in the car"

(Ezekiel gives Lynnon a kiss then holds her hand for a quick second)

Ezekiel-" Just... be careful ok?"

Lynnon-" I got it"

(Ezekiel leaves the building. Lynnon takes the poster designs and makes her way up to Chimons office. She knocks twice)

Chimon-" Come in!"

(Lynnon opens the door and Chimon stood there)

Chimon-" Ah~ You have the designs?"

Lynnon-" Um... yes sir..."

(Lynnon hands the papers over and watches as Chimon flips through them. He starts to shake them as he keeps looking at them)

Chimon-" W-What is this?"

Lynnon-" The designs sir?"

Chimon-" What the hell?! This is nothing compared to what you showed me when we met"

Lynnon-" It's just meet n' greet posters. The creative director said-"

Chimon-" Don't you dare talk back to me! I don't give a fuck about what the creative director"

(Lynnon began to be afraid. She feared his anger)

Lynnon-" Calm down! I can just redo them"

Chimon-" Obviously! Do you think I'm stupid?!"

Lynnon-" No, but you're acting out like a child-"

(SMACK! Lynnon was left speechless. A thin drop of blood ran down her cheek from the cut that was made by Chimon's ring)

Chimon-" Don't EVER talk back to me AGAIN! I don't care if you're a man, woman, or anything in between. If you piss me off, you're getting a beating, YOU HEAR ME?!"

(Lynnon nods)

Chimon-" Now get the hell out of my office!"

(Lynnon walks out of his office and exhales. A knot formed in her throat. She walked out of the building having her hand over her mouth, crying like ever. She gets to the car and Ezekiel unlocks the door. She gets in and closes the door)

Ezekiel-" So what did he sa-"

(Ezekiel turns to see Lynnon crying a lot. He felt himself getting madder by the second)

Ezekiel-" What the hell?!"

(Ezekiel moves her hand and he saw her red cheek and blood. His eyes enlarge)

Ezekiel-" HE FUCKING HIT YOU?!"

(Lynnon hics)

Ezekiel-" You're literally BLEEDING!"

(Lynnon looks away, wiping away the drop of blood with her middle finger)

Ezekiel-" Fuck this guy"

(Ezekiel quickly opens the door and slams it shut. Lynnon watches as he walks back into the building. Ezekiel rushes up the Chimons office and he flings the door open without permission)

Chimon-" What are you doing here?"

Ezekiel-" Don't you FUCKING DARE touch Lynnon again"

Chimon-" So you're mad your little girlfriend was beaten? It's happened to you. You know what happens when I'm pissed off"

Ezekiel-" I don't give a SHIT about you being pissed off! I'm telling you to not touch my girlfriend!"

Chimon-" Do you know what I can do to you for talking to me like that?"

Ezekiel-" What are you gonna do, fire me? If you do, you're COMPANY IMAGE title you have on me will be for nothing. This company of yours will be crumbling, so I'm gonna repeat what I said"

(Ezekiel gets close to Chimon and grabs his collar)

Ezekiel-" Don't you ever fucking touch Lynnon AGAIN"

(Ezekiel lets go, pushing him back. He leaves the room then eventually the building. Ezekiel walks up to the car, slowly cooling down. He opens Lynnon's door and sees her hugging one of her knees, still crying. Ezekiel picks her up and wraps her legs around his waist and arms around his neck in front of him. He feels her clench onto the back of his shirt)

Ezekiel-" You're quitting. I'm not letting you work here anymore. I should've never let you in the first place"

Lynnon-" He- hic* He was so scary- hic*"

Ezekiel-" I know"

(Ezekiel rocks back and forth)

Ezekiel-" It's ok. Shh~"
