The Narcissist

Chapter 8 - WELCOME

Kenny A.K.A. "Captain" as they all call him, sat comfortably in his office waiting for my answer.

"Well, is this some kind of an interview? I felt like I should dress up more formally." I said jokingly looking at my pink casual blouse, denim shorts, and 6-inch heels.

Yes, our university is not that strict when it comes to dress codes. I've seen someone once in his onesie and another in his pyjama.

"I repeat Miss Antoinette, what is your goal in joining our martial arts club?" Kenny asked again.

I looked at Rhett who was standing behind Kenny. He raised an eyebrow as if challenging me to come up with an answer that's acceptable to him.

"Well.." I tried to think of something up, blinking my eyes to cover up my blank mind. Then, thankfully, something came up. "You see, captain.." I pouted a little bit to add to the drama I was about to spill. "On our way to the acquaintance party, my friend and I were ambushed by a thief." I glanced a bit at captain's shocked expression as if he knew what will happen next. "And then.. and then.." I sniffed a bit. "I was chased by that son-of-a-bee!!!" I exclaimed.

I saw Rhett went to the dispenser to get a glass of water. "Go on, what happened?" Captain asked more gently.

I pretended to cry a little bit, "He chased me until there was no way out for me." Rhett handed me a glass of water. "Thank you." I said, then took a sip.

Captain's eyes were so big in anticipation. "That's when I closed my eyes and started praying hard for the first time in my life. And when I opened my eyes, the culprit was down. He was taken care of by someone."

I looked at Rhett, he didn't seem to be impressed by my story in which he stars in. "I was saved by Rhett. I didn't know how he did it, but I was grateful to him."

It seemed that captain brought my story well as he was being close to tears right now. It's funny because for a muscle man like him, crying didn't suit him well.

"So you see captain, Rhett is a good example of being an astounding club member. I wanted to enter this club to learn how to defend myself in such situation. With your permission, please let me be in your club." I pleaded. Though I know I got this already.

When it comes to guys, I always get what I want.

"You've passed the interview. Welcome to the martial arts club. If somebody troubles you again don't hesitate to come to us. I will make sure you'll learn from the best. So Rhett will be the one to train you since you're already acquainted with him." He said patting Rhett's shoulder. "You know what to do. I'll leave her care to you. As your captain, I'm really proud that you're using those skills for good."

"Thank you so much captain!!" I beamed, my plan is working smoothly. I may even have Rhett in less then a week.

My spirits however deflated once I saw Rhett's reaction. He was not liking the idea much to my dismay.

Hmph. Other guys would trade places with him if they knew.

"Both of you, do your best." With that, captain left us in the office.

Rhett couldn't hide his disappointment. "I'll be working hard. Please take care of me. " I smiled at him sweetly.

He didn't even bother to cover up his groan this time.

Like I said, this'll be exciting!
