Getting Daniela

Part Three

It's almost been two week since I had talk with Daniela, but after that status I'm not to sure why I care. It's a Saturday and I'm walking round the park, trying to clear my head before my race. But of course some douche always has to ruin that.

"Well look who we have here, if it isn't little Dexter."  I look up to see Ethan, why, oh why must him out of all people rear his ugly head anywhere near me. It was a nice-ish day, sun streaming down, birds annoying the crap outta me with their 'singing' more like dying noises.

"Your shorter then me, I'm not 'little'. Now get lost Ethan."

I was caught of guard by the punch Ethan throw to the left side of my jaw. To say it hurt would be an understatement. It was a fucking bitch. Why, why punch me.

"Dexter!" I heard a shrike from the distance. But me and Ethan turned. Like that first day, here came Daniela running towards me. "Get out of here now you, or I'll... I'll call the police." She directed that to Ethan. Wow nice Daniela, like that would work.

"Aww look at little Dexter, having his girlfriend fighting his battles." I laughed. I laughed so hard my sides hurt.

"Trust me, we are not going out. And she won't fight them tonight, you know where and when. You going to show this time?" I stood tall, so I was above Ethan and he had to look up to me. I knew he never showed last time, his bike had shit itself or something. I think he was just scared off getting beating again.

"As long as I have this beauty there to support me." He ran his hand across Daniela check. Without a moment of hesitation she connected herself to my side, getting as far away of Ethan as possible.

Ethan laughed walking away. "You're an idiot, now you gotta watch out for Ethan."

"Who?" She looked to me with her big green eyes. I point my finger the direction he left. "Oh. Well can't you just keep him away from me."

"Yes and no." I went to walk away but she grabbed my hand. Giving me a 'what do you mean' look.

"Look, you don't want me to look after you. Just don't go near him." I left after that.  I couldn't take it, I could smell her shampoo and yes that sounds weird, I know.

----------------------------------

I was in my zone, at the start of the race. Ethan pulls his bike next to mine.

"You won't win this one. You really should take care of the thing you bring here." Smirking Ethan looked towards the track.

'Take care of what I bring here', I only brought my fucking bike and it's been with me the entire time. I didn't have anything else with me, I'm not stupid. You should only ever bring the necessary stuff to a race like this.

"Ready racers?" Thumbs up were show to the starter. The moment before the race started Ethan pointed to his friends. In their hold was Daniela.

"Bastard!" He laughed and was off, I knew I couldn't race. If I did who knows what they would do with her if I did. Pulling my bike off the track, ignoring the calls of protest. I walked to Ethan's goons.

"Let her go." I left no room for argument with my tone.

"Sure thing. Now you lost." They laughed walking away.

"Stay away from Ethan, was that so hard? Why would you come here with him?"

"I didn't." Daniela whispered looking to the ground. "I followed you, I wanted to make sure you weren't doing anything stupid."

"Yeah, well now everyone here knows who you are, and knows I'll give up the race for you. Not a smart move." I kept my face blank of emotion, while Daniela was doing the opposite. Almost being in tears.

It was the first tear running down her face that made me crack. I used my thumb to whip it away and pulled her to my chest.

"Shh it's okay. I'm sorry, I shouldn't of gone off like that."
