She sits on my lap shaking her body to the music but if anything it honestly looks like she's having a fucking seizure. It's getting to the point where I want to formally apologise for calling her out here, I knew I messed up when I opened the door thinking it was Mia, the disappointment of it not had me sucking in a breath.

"Babe since when did you have an assistant?"

I sigh as her voice screams through the music, I wish the music was louder. I turn around to the DJ telling him to turn it up, he nods giving me a thumbs up before instantly relaxing as it drowns everything around me.

"Oi Bane" Rhody jumps into our booth falling into some chairs, Lexa laughs at his stupidity but I find nothing about him even remotely funny "did you see the new chick?"

I rub in-between my eyes releasing the headache that's definitely on it's way "no"

"Well dude she sounds like the girl you-" he stops midway as Lexa slaps his arm.

"Don't you dare disrespect me like that" she stands tall, towering over the idiot who's sat still.

"Oh honey I would never, but let's not dance around the fact you're just a piece of ass to everyone here" he spreads his legs finding complete humour in winding her up "and you do, have a nice ass by the way" his mouth opens wide as he let's out a hideous laugh, then suddenly he stops, reaching over to grab her arm only I'm up in seconds twisting it off her to the point he buckles.

"You" I snap his wrist in the opposite direction making him scream in pain, his elbow dislocates completely, I can feel the very echo of the snap as it rushes through his bones "will not speak to her like that, or let yourself believe for even a second that you have any rights in your useless life to touch a single strand of hair on her head, how clear are we on that this time Rhodey" I lean close to his ear making sure nothing passes by this idiot, he nods shaking his whole body to the answer. I let go turning back to Lexi, but she stumbles back with fear.

"I'm sorry for him, my car will personally drive you wherever you want"

She nods before stepping closer, a little weary at first as if rethinking what she's about to say or ask "I flew in though"

"Then take my jet, no worries"

"Thank you Bane, really" her head nods, eyes glancing down to where Rhodey must still be on the floor before taking off. I sigh, thankful to be done with all of that, he's lucky I didn't kill him, others may be fine with letting him walk around like some untouchable dumbass where he's from but around here, you die rather quickly, at least I make sure of it.

-Mia-

I shake my head in horror as he carefully points the little knife at his target, the girl who volunteered to stand directly at the centre of it stands deathly still and even though she's putting on a brave face it's clear as day she's shaking. Still, the glint in her eyes at the prize she'll get if he doesn't miss is worth apparently even her own death, by prize I mean Max of course. He shuts one eye close before letting the knife fly from his hold, everyone stops breathing before erupting in complete chaos. The knife lands not even inches from her head, pinning the silver butterfly clip that was in her hair. She steps forward, a little wobbly at first but no one say's anything because girly definitely has her priorities straight and she intends to get it by the looks of it.

There's no point in trying not to smile as she ties her arms around his neck, kissing his lips so slowly, so passionately everyone goes back to doing whatever they were before. I cough, muffling my chuckle and hear him laugh before taking her hands in his.
