I rolled my eyes as I went back to reading, trying to ignore his very hostile present. I was about to turn the page when the magazine was off the table and flying across the room slamming the wall, getting people standing in line to take notice. I looked back at River was all but foaming at the mouth for anger.

"What the hell did you do that for? I was read that" I snapped at him as I wanted to dig my nails into the stupid dark green eyes

"Do you have any idea how close I came to calling your father and what he would have done when he found out where you were" I basically growled at me as I rolled my eye sitting back against my chair

"I think the better question is what is he going to do when he finds out that while you were 'supposed to be'?" I said using air quotes "Doing your job, you were screwing some whore in a dressing room" I said as I smiled at him feeling very please with myself

"Oh I see what going on little princess just has her panties in a twist because I didn't fall for your silly little scheme earlier and then saw some bitch on her knee, which makes you jealous as hell" he said and I snapped and didn't really think just acted

I didn't fully realize what had happen to the entire Starbucks had gone completely silent. Every person including the workers were just staring at River as I was. River was visibly shaking trying to control his angry as my tea slowly ran down his entire body. His face and neck where red form how hot my drink was hitting his flesh. River eyes were still closed tightly and was gripping the side of the little round table hard. I just sat there frozen waiting for his reaction to me throwing a burning hot drink on him. He finally opened his eyes and looked directly at me as eyes piercing me with fear I had never felt before.

"River, I ... I didn't ... mean to do that" I stuttered out as he finally exploded one he heard me speak

As he stood up through the table to the table out of his way causing it to smash into tables nearby. River was standing in front of me gripping onto the back of my chair. His face was only a few inches away from mine and I could tell had really crossed a line that was not going to be good.

"You little bitch, you are going to wish you never meet me when I'm done with you" River grabbed my arm yanking me off the chair forcefully, causing pain to shoot up my arm.

I fell to the ground as I couldn't catch myself from him yanking me up. I turned and looked at him in utter shock at as he throws my purses at me that had hung on the back of the chair. I caught it luckily before it almost hit my face as I heard people talking louder in the little shop. I couldn't hear what they were said as all I could hear was my frantic breathing and heart rate from the fear I was feeling. River grabbed my arm again pulling me off the floor, as I let out a scream from the pain he caused when his hand gripped me. He ignored my protest as he grabbed the back of my neck and shoved my toward the exit of the Starbucks.

"Hey man leave her alone" I heard a man shouting loudly nearby as River stopped pushing me, but still had his hand gripping my neck

"Back off, this is none of your business" I heard River say in a deep menacing voices as I tried to look to see the person that was attempting to be my savior, but River grip tightened as I yelped again and felt water hit my chest and I realized I was crying

"It is my business when you're abusing a girl, so let her go and get lost before we call the cops" I felt his grip adding pressure again as I was shoved and clasped falling to the ground again.

"You need to back off I'm not going to tell you again man, she is not your business" I could tell by River voice he was getting angrier, and I could see he was now getting closer to the man who was confronting him
