Tapout

Chapter.16. You Know That's Like a big Deal, Right?

Chapter 16

My uncle looks at me completely baffled. Yes, the plan was to get out but not until New  Year's Knockouts. That's where we'd make bank. "Seriously Riley, come on you're smarter than this." Josh expels and I place my hands over his knowing that he's only trying to play it smart.

"Josh, if I can get out before New Year's Knockouts I'm going to do it. I need you to arrange something with Felix."

"Did you really get the shit beat out of you that much today?"

I release a light laugh, because yes, maybe a little bit. Though I wouldn't dare admit that out loud. "You don't think he'll go for a rematch between Marissa and I?"

"He's not going to let you win that match Riles. That's why we agreed to bet against you if you fight her in Knockouts. You'll lose and get second place prize money, along with what we make off Marissa." Yeah, we were planning on betting against me. If Marissa and I go into the final rounds I won't be allowed to win so might as well make a little money off me losing. In reality the prize is 50 thousand and that will send Josh and I to school. No loans, or anything. Second place is 25 and that'd be enough with what we have saved up.

Before I met Lucas I actually enjoyed the danger of this life. It's like will I be alive after this match? Who knows? The mystery was pretty great. But now, I just want Lucas. "I can beat her Josh." Which is where my revenge comes in, that Josh doesn't know about. It will have to be after I graduate unfortunately so I can get the hell out of dodge before they find me but other than timing I have nothing else figured out. "So fucking ridiculous. Makes me sick."

"Alright I'm sitting back down." Sparky takes his seat next to me and I just stare at him. He's so perfect, he's the light in my dark tunnel and every day we get closer to knockouts, is one step closer to really being with him. Actually going on dates and spending time together, instead of him watching me train and me training him. I'm not complaining I'll take him anyway I can get. But I still love dates, I'm a girl so effing sue me. "What?"

"I didn't say for you to sit back down." I joked but kept my tone serious to see how he'd react.

He arches his brow with a seductive smirk plastered onto his lips. "I don't need your permission." Oh damn, yup that was a turn on. I give him a knuck and lean back in my seat. He's learning, I love submissive Lucas but I love, love demanding Lucas, his jaw clenches, his eyes bore into me and it causes something to stir within me. While Josh starts to order, Sparky leans over and presses his lips against the shell of my ear, "did that turn you on baby?" I didn't even mind that he called me baby.

"You better knock it off or I'll take you to the back now." He tosses his hands up in surrender while leaning back, I wouldn't - obviously - but he doesn't know that, I'm pretty impulsive after all. But, his first time needs to be special, like when I don't have a fracture or bruises all over my body. He hasn't even seen my arms yet and I know he'll get furious when he sees them, I got punched a lot obviously because there were 5 of them, but I hardly felt it in the moment. I am certainly feeling it now, back onto my original point though, Lucas will get furious. He has untapped anger inside of him and I am pretty sure it's because of his father.

Lucas is a pretty emotional and sweet guy, but he doesn't talk about his dad. In fact he avoids it at all cost, as long as he isn't being abused, which he isn't at least not physically don't worry I check often, then I am not going to pressure him to open up about it. "Steak and eggs please, medium rare, over medium and a plate of fruit." I have the appetite of a man, don't judge.
