Ronin (Ongoing)

Chapter Five

I quickly released his arm as if I touched fire. He gave me a disgusted look and turned to give Derek a more pissed off weird stare. The energy in the room shifted as the intensity between them increased.

"You are going on a date with this arsehole. Him? He's a loser, Chey."
Derek snorted as if Ronin was inferior to him or something. The way he scrunched his nose was the same when he used to spot me without all dressed up. With that said Ronin stepped away from me and headed straight for Derek. I'm not going to stop him from hitting Derek's abs because he deserves it.

"You don't want to piss me off today—actually. You do. I'm begging you to fu©king piss me off. Give me an excuse so I could smash your head again."
Ronin threatened in a low growl loud enough for everyone standing around us to listen. The few people who were enjoying the show took a big visible step back.

Did he say, Again? Okay, so obviously Ronin and Derek have gotten into a fight before, which as the ex-girlfriend of two years, I should probably know if maybe not. He never even told me he'd gotten into a fight. Though I guess in the grand scheme of things that went on behind my back, this one is minor compared to the other.

Still... I hate fighting even though he deserved it as I said before. So I grabbed Ronin's arm reluctantly and tried to drag him away from Derek which only turned his attention towards me.
"Let's not fight. We don't need the authorities getting involved. Let's tone it down a little."
I tried to play middleman between them. The redhead girl clasped her hand around Derek's arm copying my actions and tried to drag him towards her. Good move.

"Honey, let's go. We don't need to deal with these losers."
Derek finally decided to back off. I just gave her a snide look.

"This is not over."
With that said he was gone. Ronin glared at his back and then glared at the people around us who started pretending of being busy with their things.

Ronin turned towards me, clasped my arm in his strong hand and dragged me to some isolated place where he could kill me. We finally settled in the back garden of the college.

I gulped down heavily when he once again brought his hand to my throat to choke me. His hand was cold but soft and suddenly I wanted those hands on every inch of my body. I shook my head to clear my head of such thoughts.

"My hand is on your jaw zone and with the slightest pressure, you can die so stop moving your head and listen to me."
I stood still like a robot after whatever he said about that jaw zone thing.

"You are not going to cross my path again and involve me in your drama. I don't want to do anything with people like you."
He moved his hands away from my neck and started moving back to the building.

I stood still unable to move. My heart was beating so fast that any time it could come out of my ribs. I screamed in frustration. I guess I'm doing that a lot these days.

That man. That very stupid man who knows how to kill people by pressing their zones was going to go down because no one treats me like a dog.

I thundered inside the college doors and went straight to the football team lockers. There was a group of guys probably the players, talking about some game.

I ignored them and snatched Ben's collar and dragged him out of the group. I looked him straight into his shocked eyes.

"My life has been threatened thrice in two days and I need your help. It's that time of your life where you prove your friendship. I want blood on my hands."
I patted his shoulder with my hand and then wiped them on my skirt because it was sweaty. Ew.

"Chey- Chey. Baby, I know I pushed you off the swing in kindergarten but I didn't know it had such a drastic impact on your brain because you sound crazy to me right now."
His speech started in a sweet voice but the last words were spoken in clear frustration which resulted in his voice becoming high-pitched. He turned around after giving me the same look Rachel and then Danielle gave me.

Here we go again.

"Listen. I need to find a guy's dorm room and you are going to help me with that."
I said with a wicked smile.

What is Chey up to now?
