2 Ch. 2 The Ex

Kenneth drove the car as Thorn kept scrolling threw her phone. He kept sneaking small glances of her and thinking about the heated moment they had an hour ago. His face turned bright red thinking about her mouth around him. "How much longer?" "Oh! Um we are actually just arriving." Kenneth pulled the car over and was behind five of the exact same car. "Keep the engine running. I'll be back in a second." She opened the door and got out with her face and hair covered. Thorn walked into the store and found it full of men in black suits except for one. His short blond hair had a Clark Kent curl in the front and his brown eyes reminded her of shit. "Where's the money Mr.White? We gave you two days now where is it?" She fake coughed to get their attention and everyone turned towards her. "This establishment is closed leave." Hearing his voice try to boss her around just made her angrier and she really wanted someway to let it out so she did nothing. Luke snapped his fingers and guys started walking towards her. She let the first one grab her right arm,she grabbed his arm back and slammed him into one of the other men. "What the?" Two more came at her and she smirked at them. They went towards her at full speed and she was able to roundhouse them into the side wall a few feet away. "Who's next?" She said with murderous intent. All of the other lackeys coward away as she strutted up to Luke. "Do you not know who you're messing with? Who do you think you are?" "Who am I? Who the fuck do you think you are to bully these people?" Keeping her head down so he couldn't see her eyes she stopped in front of him. "Stupid bitch, I'm the head of the Nightingale mafia group! I could put you in the ground and no one would care!" Thorn laughed. "You? The head of Nightingale? Don't make me laugh you stupid piece of shit." "How dare you talk to me like that! Boys take her out." She grabbed his throat and started to choke him as she took off her hat and scarf. "You are nothing to my group Luke." "T-Thorn?!" He choked out. Thorn threw him away and bowed to Mr.White. "I apologize for my underlings. They shall not bother you again Mr.White. And don't worry about paying us any money for the next few years. In fact if you want I can get your shop some renovations on me." "No no no! That is too much mistress Thorn. I'm just so happy to see you back alive. Please let me give you some dumplings for the road." "Why thank you! I've been missing your dumplings!" "I'll go get them right away!" Mr.White left threw a pair of double doors into the kitchen and Thorn looked back at the men that were helping Luke up. "So the dragoness of the Nightingale mafia has returned." Luke smirked at his own comment and Thorn kick him in the face. "You think I don't know what you've been doing while I was gone, honey?" His face grew pale when he saw her phone in her hand. "W-what are you talking about?" Her eyes looked like a blazing inferno as she stared down at him. "Do you really want me to go threw everything when we're in front of everyone?" She kicked him again before Mr.White came back with a large bag. He handed it to her and she took it smiling. "Thank you sir. And if you could tell the rest of the shops that have my protection that there's no need for them to pay for the next few years either. It would really save me all those trips." Mr.White smiled brightly and nodded. "Of course Lady Thorn. I'm sure everyone will be overjoyed to hear of your return!" "Alright. Thank you for the dumplings. We'll be leaving now. Boys pick up that trash a bring him to the house." The lackeys did as instructed and Thorn got back in the car with Kenneth. "I've got dumplings!" "W-what happened in there?" "Don't worry about it." She took out a dumpling with chopsticks and held it out to Kenneth. "Say ah!" "W-what are you doing?!" He blushed as she tried to feed him. "Open your mouth! I'm trying to feed you one of the best dumplings in the city." Kenneth opened his mouth and she gently set the dumpling in his mouth. "Mmm." "Good right?" He nodded not taking his eyes off the road as they pulled into the mansion driveway. Thorn got out as soon as the car stopped and went into the house. She went threw the house and into her room, shutting and locking the door. "Can't believe that asshole! Acting like he's innocent! I'll stomp his fucking face in!" The thought of Luke made her go into a rage after scrolling threw her phone. Picture after picture of Luke screwing a different girl in either his or her room and one in one of the gang's cars. "Fiancé my ass." She walked over to the bed and sat down staring at the silver canister. Suddenly she heard a knock at the door and Kenneth's voice went with it. "Thorn? Is everything okay?" "I'm fine. I'll meet you downstairs in a few for dinner!" "Alright." Thorn could hear the concern in his voice and it hurt her. Her heart ached from finding the photos of Luke with what used to be her best friend, but she knew it was gonna happen sooner or later. Every other friend that she had since meeting him when she was ten only used her to get close to him. Tears filled her eyes when she thought about Cindy, her oldest friend and school mate from when she was five. They were inseparable until Luke came into the picture and ruined everything. It started with him flirting and then it kept going until he just told her that she was nothing to him. Cindy cried for day after it happened and Thorn tried to be there for her until the crying suddenly stopped. The day Cindy stopped crying was the worst day in Thorns life and she would always remember it so clearly.
