Vigilante by Choice

Chapter 29: Does This Count as a Date?

Me and Faye had been waiting in line for a long time just to get into the club. "This place seems really loud." Faye said over the music that had been playing outside of the club.

I looked at the bouncer. "Don't worry, I will get us in, eventually. Let me talk to this guy. Excuse me, sir? We've been waiting here for a long time, while you let other people in, do you think you could let us in?" I said over the music, trying to convince the bouncer to let us in.

Just as I finished my question someone walked out from the club. "Is there a problem out here?" The man said to the bouncer. It was Dean Celon.

"You!" I said louder then I wanted to.

Dean heard me. "Tobias, what do you think you are doing here?" He asked, giving me a death glare.

"Why do you care?" I asked rolling my eyes at him.

"Well this is my club." Dean's hands were outstretched.

"Your club?" I was baffled, but it would explain the name of the club.

"Yeah. Do you have a problem with that?" Dean asked, getting pleasure from my bewilderment.

"No. I don't." I said through gritted teeth.

"So do you have my money yet?" Dean asked folding his arms across his chest.

I pinched the bridge of my nose. He doesn't understand. "I never owed you money. I'm not responsible for my sister's actions. Just like how I'm not responsible for the bank situation yesterday."

Dean didn't take well to that comment. If you look at Dean, he doesn't seem like one to pack a hard punch. But he also caught me off guard. The next this I knew was I was on the ground with a blood nose."You will get me my money or else I will destroy you. What cat got your tongue, say something else to make me angry. I will unleash it all." Dean threatened, taking a step back.

I got up and took a step towards Dean. Faye put her body in front of mine, stopping my advancement. "Tobias, let it go." She pleaded. I nodded and backed down. I didn't want to ruin the date anymore than I had. We started to walk away.

"Always a pussy. Can't handle situations like a really man." Dean shouted after us.

Faye stood up straight, "Stay here." She made her way over to him. "Dean, you keep your mouth closed. All you do is hide behind your money. That sounds like a pussy thing to do." She held her finger threateningly in his face.

Dean smiled down at her. "Faye, I don't need your attitude right now."

The next things that happened blew my mind. She smacked Dean Celon across the face. "How about you shut up?"

Dean was just as surprised as I was. "You're defending him? Leave him be, he's a nobody. Come inside with me." He wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

She smacked his hand off of her. "Do I have to remind you of the last time you tried that."

"Seriously, Faye." Dean said, rolling his eyes at her resistance.

"Take another step closer to him and I will kick your ass. I did it once, I will do it again." She walked back towards me.

"Thanks for back there. I should've been able to handle myself." I said, as we walked towards my car. I had a firm grip on my nose, trying to stop the bleeding.

"Hey it's fine, we should somewhere so we can look at the bruises." She said standing on her tippy toes to examine my injuries.

"Ok. Let's try not a place owned by a gang." I joked was we stopped at my car.

"I know this cute little diner. I'll drive." She said taking the keys and unlocking the car.

"Thanks." I said as I got in on the passenger side.

* * *

The diner she was talking about was adorable. We had ordered malts and I had got an ice pack. She was still examining my face just to make sure nothing was broken and wiping dried blood off. She was so close, I could just give her a kiss. No, it's too soon. "So you told Dean that you kicked his ass." I asked, remembering what she had said to Dean before she slapped him.

"Yes I did." She said, as if it was a normal thing. The corner of her smile turned up in a smile.

"Can you explain?" I asked raising my eyebrow.

Faye smiled. "So it was for this story I had to do about something with him. So I was interviewing him and he tried to come onto me and so I whipped out some of my self defense moves and he ended up having a broken nose." She said it so nonchalantly.

"That's great. Hey I'm sorry this night didn't go as planned." I said looking down at the ground. She must never want to see me again.

"Well, how about we have a do-over. That didn't even seem like a date." Faye said smiling down at me.

"Next time, no clubs." I said, making her laugh.

* * *

We stopped at the top of the steps. Sadly the night had to come to an end. "So I will see you later." I said walking her over to her unit.

Faye looked up at me."Even though this didn't go as planned I still enjoyed tonight."

"Thanks. Well good night." I was relieved that she enjoyed herself.

"Good night." She said giving me a peck on the cheek and closing the door. Faye, just gave me a kiss on the cheek. I was coming around to her. And this would be amazing.

"Come on lover boy, I want to go to bed." Rory said from the doorway. I rolled my eyes and walked to my apartment.
