The Fighters Girl

Chapter 15

I don't usually start off with a little note but I just want to say thank you all so much we reached 1k readers last night!!!!!! And to many that might not be much but I had a little cry. It's the first of many milestones to come. This book is a joy to write.

So thank you from the bottom of my heart for voting, commenting and taking the time to read my book. I do have news to share with all of you during the week so keep eyes peeled on my notifications board.

Enough of the emotional stuff and into the reason we are all reading this book

*********************************

We had collected our McDonald's and were currently sitting at his dining table. His plate was full with food and I wondered how much he'd have to work out after this to burn it off.

The alcohol in my system had worn off a while ago I think the milkshake may have helped to sober me up. I slurped the last of my milkshake and a loud noise resonated in the quiet house. I looked up and he was looking at me with curious eyes. "Got to get every drop" I said shyly. His eyes changed and a smirk appeared on his face while he slowly shook his head. It was quiet until....

"So tell me about yourself" I nearly spit out my milkshake. My mind went blank, my brain froze I must of looked like a deer caught in headlights. You need to say something stupid or he's gonna think we are stupid. I dismissed my brain and cleared my throat and wiped my palms on my legs.

"Ahhhh I don't really know what to say what would you like want to know" I was genuinely dumbfounded, I quietly sat there waiting for him. He looked me in the eye and said slowly "everything".

"Okay ummmm so I'm eighteen, I have a brother called Tommy, my mam and dad are both doctors which means they travel quite a lot, I'm in my final year in school, I have an obsession with hot chocolate and ya I guess there's not much to know" I looked back up at him, he seemed to be processing everything I had just said. "So how about yourse...." I went to ask him but his phone loudly rang.

He silently left the room and left me to my own devices. I decided I was going to try and find the bathroom. After a few twists and turns I came to the bathroom. I flicked on the light and immediately my eyes zoned in on the massive bathtub. I so wanted to run myself a bath after all that food.

I quickly done my business and walked out to a very large open space living room. I practically ran to the most appealing couch I've ever seen.

Someone cleared their throat behind me I turned suddenly feeling extremely tired with my face smushed into the cushion. "I have to head out and take care of something, ummm make yourself at home I guess. I don't think I'll be long but don't wait up just in case" he started to walk away but he turned around halfway and said something that made my stomach drop "I know on the schedule you have tomorrow off but Tasha called me and said she's had a family emergency is there any chance you could take her shift tomorrow" I looked at him and I knew I wanted to spend more time with him I nodded with a half smile and ladies and gentlemen he left without a bye or thank you what an ass.

My thoughts started to wander to whether or not he was gone to another girl while I was sitting here. What if I was imagining all these little things like the smirks, the bringing me behind the bar and letting me stay here. A pain started in my stomach but just as it came I let tiredness overcome me.

A ringing noise kept going and going and I couldn't quite put my finger on what is was. I peeled my eyes open to the sun slapping me in the face. I rolled over and found the ringing. I didn't even look at the contact I just answered it. "Hey sweetie is everything okay you didn't answer my last two calls". Oh dear god it was my dad he never calls me. I thought back to the last three days to see if I done anything to get me in trouble.

"Sorry dad late night with the girls last night" it stung to lie to him but he couldn't know I was ermmm here. "Sweetie I'm only calling to let you know your mom and I have been called out on a surgery so we won't be home for the next four days" he spoke gently through the phone waiting for my reaction.

I sighed away from the phone not wanting him to hear the emotion that I was trying to hold back. "Ya dad that's perfect be safe and call me when you, mom and Tommy arrive".

"There's money on the counter in case you need anything take care sweetie love you" I could tell he was in a rush. "Bye love you too" and that was it the line went dead. I fell back into the couch frustrated already and I wasn't even awake five minutes.

I rolled over again but I ended up smacking myself off the floor. "Fudge" I rubbed my elbow and tried to get up but I was tangled in a blanket. Hold on we didn't have a blanket going to sleep. Ahhhhh Mr.HunkMuscles put it over us.

I had actually forgotten Scar had gone out and honestly I didn't really want to face him right now. The door opened and he stood there grey joggers hanging lowly on his hips showing his very defined v line. I could of drooled at the shirtless man in front of me.

The thoughts from last night came back to me  and  the thought of him going out to a girl came back into my head. "Can you take me home please" oh so the self conscious and over-thinker me was doing all the talking for me at the moment.

He looked taken aback but didn't object. I pulled myself up off the floor and walked towards the front door. Scar walked back out with a T-shirt on and keys in his hands.

I kept my back to him just wanting to go home and have a shower. I could feel his body behind me, his breath hit my ear and he whispered "everything alright". I meekly nodded but that didn't seem to satisfy him. He turned me around and kept his hand on my hip.

"I'm only going to ask one more time Zara did something happen?" I could tell I didnt have an option he wanted to know. Do I tell him I was jealous at the thought of him going to see another woman. He's not your man get ahold of yourself.

"It's nothing my parents have just left for work again and won't be home for a few days". It wasn't a complete lie I was slightly upset about them just upping and leaving again but I guess it is their job.

He didn't say anything just gently squeezed my hip and walked out the front door.

The car ride wasn't as awkward as it usually is the radio played music in the background while both of us were lost in our thoughts.

We finally pulled up to my house. I unbuckled myself and was about to get out of the car when he grabbed my hand. "I've a race tonight come with me" he slowly drew a small circle on my hand and I melted. Answer him hello earth to Zara.

"I thought you need me to work Tashas shift" why did I say that I wanted to go with him. "Jackson will manage until we get back" I smiled at the thought of getting to go to his race and least he won't be punching the lights out of anyone this time.

"Okay if your sure Jackson can manage on his own" I smiled a giddy smile. "Zara don't wear your uniform tonight okay" I nodded and him and closed the door. I waved at him as he pulled away from the curb. Why did you wave woman!!! We're trying to make him like us not think we're sixty waving goodbye to our grandkids after a barbecue.

I made my way inside the house with a pep in my step and the thoughts of tonight.
