A Boxers Love

Chapter 8

LORENZO'S P.O.V-

"Here is your hot chocolate!" Assho- I mean Jake walked up to our table.

This Cock blocker-

The way he looked at her made it obvious that he liked her. She did not see it though. She thought he just wanted to be friends with her.

He called her sweetheart. It made my blood boil. I was gonna get in the kitchen and have a 'chat' with him but Violet assured me that she thought of him as just a friend.

I trusted her.

I don't know what it was about her, but it made everyone trust her easily. It wasn't any different for me.

She wanted to call me Enzo. I hated when someone called me Enzo. I had beaten Leo over that so many times, but when she said it, it sounded almost sweet. However, I held myself back and told her not to call me that, but the little minx continued doing so.

It's fine if she calls me Enzo, it's adorable. I convinced myself.

Damn, I'm whipped and it had only been a week and a half since she had gotten here.

It was just that she was mesmerizing to watch...

So, I was mesmerized.

Whenever I looked at her, she always seemed happy. Talking away to Leo or one of her friends. I felt content whenever I was near her. A feeling I hadn't felt in a while... It made me wanna protect her at all costs.

"Thanks, Apples" Violet smiled up at that idiot who had an annoying grin on his face.

"Sure thing Sweetheart" he replied patting her shoulder. I really wanted to smash in his head right about now.

VIOLET'S P.O.V-

"Do continue, you seem to have been through a lot of funny situations in your life" he said as I took a sip of my hot chocolate. 

I was surprised by the fact that he even wanted to hear my voice and the thought that he actually wanted to listen baffled me.

Then we talked. A lot. I told him how I loved to paint and read during my free time. It was surprisingly easy to get into a conversation with him. I thought it would be awkward but it wasn't. He listened to every word I said without seeming bored or tired of me speaking.

"Well... that's enough about me" I laughed at my rambling "Tell me about yourself-"  I started when "Yo!" Leo walked in with loud footsteps as he waved at us. The first thing that I noticed was that he was absolutely covered in sweat and I could already smell him from afar. 

Stinky.

He also looked way too energetic for someone who had been through boxing practice. I heard Lorenzo let out an exasperated sigh as he rolled his eyes "Hey muffin! I missed you!" Leo said sliding into the seat next to me.

I pushed his hand away when he tried slinging it around my shoulder "No! you're sweaty and sticky" I scolded as my eyes narrowed and my face scrunched up in disgust.

"Oh, don't be a cry baby" he rolled his eyes as he slung his arm around my shoulder despite my protest. I cringed from the smell hitting my nose, geez he was a sweat factory. I looked at Lorenzo for help but he just shrugged his shoulders probably thankful that it wasnt him in my situation.

"I'll file for a restraining order" I threatened shimmying away from him and closer to the window.

"You know you can't stay away from me Muffin" he said pulling me closer. "Oh! This looks really good!" he exclaimed as he grabbed my hot chocolate and gulped it down in one go.

"Nononono" I tried snatching it back but by the time it was in my hands, it was empty.

I stuck my bottom lip out and smacked Leo's head upside but it barely bought about a change other than a mischievous grin. I gave up and looked at Lorenzo again.

"Really, no help here Enzo?" I asked raising my eyebrows.

"ENZO? YOU LET HER CALL YOU ENZO?" Leo exclaimed in disbelief. His eyebrows basically went into his hair from the surprise. 

Oops?

I'm gonna let Enzo deal with this one.

"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME?" he asked wiping a non-existent tear from his face while his right hand rested in his heart symbolizing how big of a betrayal it was. I laughed at him while Lorenzo only rolled his eyes, Leo turned to me "He beat me up so many times over the fact that I called him Enzo" he explained.

"See, I'm special" I said flicking my hair over my shoulder while Leo huffed and pouted like a 5-year-old.

"Don't rub salt in my wounds" he said smacking my head lightly "But... What are you both doing here anyway? Alone..." He trailed off looking between me and Lorenzo as his eyebrow raised in suspicion.

I could hear Lorenzo clear his throat. "She ran into me here" he explained to a very unconvinced Leo who was wiggling his eyebrows at us "Accidentally," Lorenzo said reaching over the table and smacking Leo's head as well.

How long were his arms?

My phone dinged with a notification. Who is texting me? I wondered. It was probably Emma or Mia I assumed.

'Get home' it said.

It was mum.

"Oh fuck!" I cursed getting up and collecting my things. 

Lorenzo and Leo looked at me in shock over the fact that I cursed "Yes I know bad words" I mocked with a laugh "Anyway I have to go" I said pushing Leo till he stood up "See you both tomorrow" I waved running out after quickly paying. I got in my car and drove home as fast as I could.

I was stupid.

I remembered mum telling me that we were gonna have guests over from dads work and that they were important. It was my responsibility to cook and I had completely forgotten about it as I sat with Lorenzo chatting away.

I was in trouble...

Deep trouble.
