Correct Aim

Part 9: Ford

"It looks like Ford was caught in the commotion." Vicky giggled.

"Yeah. It runs in the family." We stared at each other and my additional one inch was evident.

"Am I handsome?" I boasted.

It took her three seconds to get what I said and we both laughed. 

"You, Sam, are so darn full of ego." She grinned

"At least I'm still handsome with the dress." We laughed harder earning weird looks but we didn't care.

"And you're so damn cute for being slow." I retorted while she blushed. Amused, I poked her cheeks, teasing her.

"All right! All right! It runs in the family. I get it." She pouted, not wanting to embarrass herself more , "I know. If not for it, I wouldn't fall in love with him." She whispered the last part, taking away the good atmosphere.

I glanced away and for a second I think I saw Blaise groping a girl's boob. He took back his hand and the girl was fussing about it and yet she looked pleased and even jumped towards him.

I quickly turned towards my best friend planning to distract her but I was too late. A tear fell from her eyes and I felt pressure in my chest. Of course that would hurt a person who saw his childhood love pull off something detestable.

I cursed inwardly.

"Stay here. I'll go get Ford." I said in a soft tone. She said nothing and I pushed my way to pull Ford away from the thick group of horny females.

"Are you ok?" I asked her and she was swaying back and forth, her face was full of lipstick colors varying from red up to neon green. Yuck.

"Let's go." I dragged her going towards Vicky.

"What'cha doin' alone pretty lady?" I paled, a guy was hovering over Vicky. And he didn't look like a good guy.

Vicky rigid as a stick. I glimpsed at the swaying girl beside me and scoffed. This girl made us wait for trouble because of her looks! She looked and acted like a guy and even though it was amusing, it was annoying as well!

"Leave her alone!" I announced, trying to act tough, I was good at this: acting.

The guy flinched at my tone but when he saw me he grinned and laughed aloud. His laugh took a lot of attention, then his friends walked around him. I felt my hands shaking, I just made it worse!

"Why're you laughin' pal?" a guy with a neon orange hair huffed.

"Well, I found us some sweets!" He announced and they all sneered at us.

"Come on babe." A neon-green haired guy took my arm forcefully.

I snatched my hand away and swiftly threw my fist at his face but it was blocked by the leader who was beside him. He snickered at me.

"Cap'tn! This one's a girl too! Do ya want it?" He asked like Ford was just a candy.

"Nah, I'll take this. I like feisty whores." He said and I was immediately given to him, my blood boiled and I spat at his face. There was dead silence. I was violently pushed away and my back hit the wall, my knees gave out and I fell on the floor. My eyes widened when I saw Vicky was at the same wall cornered by the neon –haired guy.

Son of a-

I silently stood up and kicked him where the sun doesn't shine. There was a chorus of 'ohh's' .

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING YOU SON OF A BIT*H!"

I felt a gust of wind and I knew that was my cousin. He touched the ground with his left foot and stretched a right kick towards the other guy who was cornering Vicky, perfect shot.

"GET.UP.RUTHERFORD." Blaise commanded. There was hitting of flesh heard and I knew that it was Ford.

"I.TOLD.YOU.NOT.TO.CALL.ME.THAT." She spat. You see, Ford is a woman and she is Blaise's twin.

"YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME." Blaise denounced giving his back to his sister.

"YOU ARE SO GOING TO PAY FOR THIS." Ford also gave her back to her twin. Things aren't looking good. Gasping, I realized this was a public mall and public reeks more Yankees.

Ford, glanced at me and jerked his head signaling we run for it I shook my head and then.... the fight began.
