Infinite Love

Chapter 7

[Pinball Pizza]

Noa and I are on shift and it's pretty apparent that Noa is ignoring Jen which I'm thankful for to say the least. Jen walks over to wear Noa and I are, "Hey, Noa. Um..." Noa walks away from her but Jen follows, "Silent treatment? Really? Are you that mad at me?" Jen asks and Noa walks away

"Looks like that answers your question, Jen" I tell her

She just scoffs and walks away when her table of Rosewood boys walk away, "Um, hello?" They turn to face her, "Uh, did you guys, maybe, forget something?" Jen asks
"Dude, you didn't tip her?" One asks

"Uh, damn. I guess I did forget. Don't worry, I got a tip for you, baby" His friends laugh, "Actually, it's a lot more than just the tip" He says

Jen slams the check on the table, walking away and Noa immediately gets in the Rosewood boys faces. This isn't going to end well, "Where's her fucking tip, man?" Noa asks

"All right al right. Calm down" He hands Noa the money, "Can I at least get your friend's digits? Or yours?" He asks

That sets me off, "You want digits? Well, here's two" Noa says, giving him the middle finger

He goes to say something but I quickly get between them, "She's taken, so I'd back the fuck off if I were you" I tell him

The guy smirked, not the least bit fazed by my warning. He looked Noa up and down, his eyes lingering in a way that made my skin crawl, "You're too pretty to be gay" He drawled, his voice dripping with arrogance, "I bet you haven't had a real man show you what a good time is yet. I could change your mind real quick, sweetheart"

That was it. My blood boiled, and before I could think twice, I stepped right up to him, shoving him back with more force than I thought I had in me. His friends stopped laughing, eyes wide as I glared up at him, not caring that he was at least a foot taller than me.

"What the fuck did you just say?" I snapped

The guy stumbled back, caught off guard but quickly trying to regain his composure, "Whoa, relax" He muttered, lifting his hands as if he'd said nothing wrong, "I was just—"

"Just what?" I cut him off, taking another step closer, "Just being a sexist piece of shit? Just disrespecting my girlfriend because you think you're entitled to her attention? Let me make this really fucking clear for you. Noa is way too good for some pathetic, insecure jerk like you, and she doesn't need or want anything from you"

Noa stood beside me, her fists clenched, but I could see the faint smile tugging at her lips as she watched me go off. The guy opened his mouth to argue, but I wasn't done, "And another thing" I growled, jabbing my finger in his chest, "Just because someone's gay doesn't mean they're waiting for some 'real man' to come along and 'fix' them. Noa's not interested in you, and frankly, I'm disgusted that you even think you stand a chance"

He scoffed, glancing back at his friends for backup, but none of them stepped in. I could see in his eyes that he didn't expect this kind of pushback, especially not from me,"You're out of your league, dude" I added, leaning in close enough that he had no choice but to look me in the eye, "So I suggest you take your shitty attitude and your misogynistic bullshit and get the hell out of here before I make you regret it"

There was a moment of silence before he muttered something under his breath, turned on his heel and stormed out. The moment the door slammed shut, I took a breath I wasn't holding in. I felt Noa behind me, lean closer, 'That was hot" She whispered

I turn around to face her before I lean in closer, "Did that turn you on, Princess?" The blush on her face told me all I needed to know, "You should go give Jen her tip, check on her" Noa raises an eyebrow, "Just because I don't like the girl doesn't mean she deserved to be treated like that" I tell her
