When We Were Young

When We Were Young(27.2)

Alec:

I couldn't control the rage at his words. It's the same sentence that nearly got him killed last time. I watched his face lose the smirk as he realized his mistake. I grabbed his throat and slammed onto the floor with so much anger I couldn't even breath right. 

"I don't know Daunt. Did you ever stop being so fucking stupid." I snarled as he clawed at my hand. Suddenly his feet came up and pushed me hard on my chest. I lost my balance slightly and let go of my grip but it was enough for him to take in a breath and get up.

"You'd think a few years would be enough for you to control that temper." He wheezed out as we circled each other. The fucker had heart, I'll give him that, even if I did want to rip it out. 

AJ was too sensitive of a subject for me. A lot of the guys knew I had a son and a baby momma somewhere and they knew I wasn't a part of their lives. But everyone was smart enough to know to leave the subject untouched, except Daunt of course. He decided to take it upon himself to let me know I was a dead beat and make some slick ass comments about how Alicia was probably shacked up with a guy who was better than me and playing daddy with my son. 

It had nearly gotten him killed then and it would probably put him six feet under today.

"You think after the last time I nearly killed you, you'd shut your mouth about my son." I snarled and threw a punch, connecting with his jaw. I threw another punch to his shoulder, and I heard let out a hiss of pain. 

I smirked as he tried to bring up his leg to kick the side of my head. I caught him by the calf and twisted it so that he lost his footing and fell face first onto the ground. I kept his leg bent as I straddled his back slightly and elbowed him between the shoulder blades.

"Had enough you little shit?" I teased as he writhed in pain below me. He turned his head to look at me and spit in my face. I growled at him and got off him. I wanted a real fight with the kid. I want the satisfcation of beating his ass again. 

"Come and get me." I teased once more as he stood shakily. He rushed towards me and threw a few combos of jabs and punches at me and I recognized the style and technique he was using. He was using my style of fighting. Wow, the little shit head wasn't bluffing when he said he studied me. I blocked some of the punches but he got me pretty good on a few off guards. 

I was growing tired of the exchange between us and decided to end it. I grabbed one of his arms and made sure to bring it around to his back uncomfortably. I caught his foot with mine and swept it from under him from behind. just before he hit the ground I removed my hand from his arm and pushed him down hard with my foot, making the impact much harsher. 

Daunt cried in pain as he landed on his arm. It was most likely broken from the impact on the floor. 

The bookie rushed over and held my hands up as the crowd roared. 

"AND AN OLD CHAMPION TAKES BACK HIS CROWN. GIVE IT UP FOR FALCON."

The crowd continued to cheer and chant my name as I stood there. Daunt was hauled off by what seemed to be his crew. I smirked at the crowd as they got louder. I met eyes with Cole and he nodded at me and grinned. I knew I had satisfied his end of the deal and we were settled. He held up the bundles of cash and walked out of the warehouse with his posse of goons following him. 

I rolled my eyes and looked around to find Alicia standing next to Spidey and Crazies. It was strange to see them out of their work get up and in their regular attire of jeans and hoodies. I knew the hoodies they wore had my name on the back. I watched as they cheered me on and I ran up to the cage and climbed it before jumping down landing in front of Alicia. I pulled her into a tight embrace and held her by the back of her neck. I felt Spidey and Crazies slapping my back and giving me congratulations.
