Id stumbled out of the club to get some fresh air. The humid air and cigarette stench had attached itself to my skin and I desperately needed a break. I could feel the start of a migrane in my temples and decided removing myself from the pounding music was probably best.

I was slightly dizzy, summoning a hand to the stone wall for support as I attempted to walk out. Once I'd made it outside I leant against the wall, resting my head and closing my eyes as I took a deep breath of fresh air. It was quite rejuvenating.

I heard footsteps nearby, but thought nothing of it until a hand grabbed my waist. Then my eyes shot open in shock. Even more so when I met Brodhi's gaze.

"Hey, princess." His pupils were dilated, a gloss over his eyes that were the clear product of intoxication.

I ripped his hand away. "Fuck off."

He poked me in the rib. "Feisty." I cringed as he came closer, eyes scouring my body. "But we both know you're all bark no bite."

"Can't say the same for me." Lando had appeared out of thin air, walking over quickly even as drunk as he was. The sight of Brodhi seemed to have sobered him up a decent amount.

"Isn't this cozy?," Brodhi joked, an annoying grin plastered on his face as I inched away from him. "Still playing the hero, Norris?"

"You need to back the fuck off." Norris trudged over in large strides before pulling me by the waist to his side. As Brodhi tried to extend an arm to touch my hair he swatted it away with a scowl. "I said off."

"Or what? You'll hit me again?" Brodhi didn't seem the slightest bit threatened but something told me he should be.

Lando stepped forward, arm dropping from my waist. "Something like that, yeah."

"Norris." I pulled him by the arm to stay put.

Brodhi laughed. "Norris? You sure this guy's your boyfriend, princess?"

I should've known calling him by his last name would seem off but in the moment i had just said it out of instinct as i desperately tried to hold him back from doing something stupid. This whole stunt was to fix what he'd done last time, the last thing we needed was for it to happen again.

Lando pointed a finger at him. "Don't you call her that."

"What princess?" Brodhi inched closer, knowing I was holding onto him so assuming he wouldn't be in much danger. "What should I call her then? Babe?" He came closer. "Love?" Closer. "Mine?" He gave me a wink and I nearly threw up in my mouth. "Or who-"

"Lando!" I held onto him as he lunged in his direction for a second time.

Brodhi took a step back just in time to avoid the punch and give me time to get ahold of his arm again. "Violence again, Norris?" He shook his head disapprovingly. "Already losing sponsors , can't have that."

I could feel Lando's arm tighten under my grip. So much I could feel every bit of muscle. "Lan."

He snapped out of it, turning to look at me bewildered. Something had told me it was the nickname that had thrown him off. "What?"

"Let's go." I tugged at his arm pleadingly. "He's just trying to rile you up to make this all worse."

"Yeah that's right control your boyfriend," Brodhi spat, walking away from us backwards. "Though im not too sure the two of you are really dating."
