Badass Ballerina

chapter fouteen~in bed

Octavia's POV

Ryder drives us both to the underground, while I fight some flaming wannabe. Who is too busy looking at my boobs than punching.

A quick punch or so later I'm done. That was so lame.

"Who else wants to fight the infamous shadow blaze!" Cheers the ref.

A person steps forward, they are easily 6 foot 8 towering over me. They have okay muscles, blonde sandy hair cropped on their head and look at me menacingly. Too which I glare back.

"Someone needs to put this bitch in her place." He snaps.

The whole place falls silent. Nobody talks to me like that. I walk up to him and tip my head to the side he smirks.
Kicking him straight in the balls, hard enough that it hurt my own foot.

He collapses to the floor, grabbing his so called crown jewels.

"Asshole." Flipping my hair as I spin on my heel jumping into the ring.

He eventually gets up beads of tears lining his cheeks, jumping into the ring.

"Your going to pay for that little girl." He growls.

"3....2....1.....go!" The ref says.

Beginning to circle each other, he leans in to punch me. Blocking his punch and bending his wrist back as far as I can.

He sweeps his foot under me and I jump landing swiftly giving him a roundhouse kick to his side. He falls to the floor and I let go of his wrist.

He gets back up lunging at me punching my ribs, groaning as I know that will bruise. He goes to hit me and I dodge hitting twice, each of the punches hurting and aching my knuckles.

He collapses and is out cold. The ref lifts my hand up.

"Our champion shadow blaze!" Everyone cheers chanting my name, well or at least my stage name.

Getting out of the ring, nobody dares to challenge me. Ryder hugs me, squeezing a little to tight on my side.
Groaning out in pain.

"Oh shit sorry." Ryder let's go and walks with me to the changing rooms.

Pulling on a pair of leggings and a large grey hoodie, plus my converse. Ryder smiles as I change.

"Like what you see." Glimmering with a smirk I eye him up.

He turns away his cheeks red and flushed with being caught, he's so cute.

"Ryder I don't think you realise how cute you are." I say to him just as he pins me up against the lockers.

"No, I'm not cute. Okay I want you to realise your the cute one." He growls at me.

"OK your the sex god." I say in surrender.

Smirking at me as we both walk to his car, getting in his car I can't help but seem to close my eyes and fallen asleep.

Ryder's POV

Looking over at Octavia, she's asleep. Her head is leant on the window, and her face is soft from sleep. She mumbles my name in her sleep, I smile slightly.

Turning the radio on low, being careful not to wake her up. She shifts about and moves so that the hood of her hoodie covers her face.

Getting home, I arrive home and park in the garage. Getting out of the car, and carrying her bridal style. Carrying her in she snuggles into my chest with a small smile.

My mum and Esmay look over at us.

"She okay?" Esmay asks.

"Yes just tired guessing." I smile at her.

I carry her into the house, finding myself carrying her to my room. Taking her shoes off and hoodie, leaving her in those clothes so that she is comfy.

Jumping in next to her, the mattress dips and I pull her close to me. I will never loose her, she is mine. Smiling down at her, noticing she's still wearing my locket. I also notice she's got a ring on.

The ring was silver and had a moonstone on it, that glinted pearly white and shimmered blue and slightly pale silver.

The next ring on her finger would be an engagement ring, mine to be precise then a wedding ring.

Smirking at the thought, sleep eventually comes. Closing my eyes as I drift of into a peaceful and easy sleep.

                          ******

Waking up, I can immediately sense a slight problem. Trying to get out of bed so I can deal with it, I go to the bathroom hearing my feet pad against the cool tiles.

Walking out the bathroom, she is gone. The bed is empty. I sit down in bed, she left me. No. Suddenly the door opens and in she walks with a tray of good smelling food.

"I thought you left me." I sigh.

"I did, to make breakfast." She smiles as she sets the tray down on the bed.

"I thought breakfast in bed would be good." She smiles," plus we need to pack today and go shopping."

"The holiday." I smile.

She bites into some toast, and I dig into a bacon sandwich. She then starts to eat the bowls of cut up fruit, which is vibrant. With juicy red strawberries, blueberries I can't help but nick a couple.

Soon all that is left is some crumbs, and a few drops of a morning tea and coffee. She smirks at me as I place the tray on the desk in my room, sitting back down she pushes me down.

Well isn't this a compromising position, her straddling my waist as she leans in and kisses me. Pulling away I flip us over, kissing her.

Eventually getting up we both go and get dressed.
