The Narcissist

Chapter 36 - DOLL FACE

I was ready. I knew he would leave me. He had the right to. But I was wrong. Rhett embraced me like I'm the one who's leaving him. I sobbed in his chest, not in sorrow but of thankfulness.

Thankful that he didn't leave me.  He was carressing my back soothingly as I cried.

"Shhhh. I'm here." He cooed. I stopped crying, but held him just as tight. "It's okay baby."

He kissed my forehead and I calmed down. "I'm sorry." I repeated.

"No. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so angry. It's just that, when I thought you were just playing games with me, I was hurt and got angry. But I realize you are serious. Thank you for being honest." He said solemnly, kissing the top of my head.

I hugged him tighter. "Still. I'm sorry." I said looking up at him.

Gray eyes met mine. He kissed my lips.

Somebody coughed behind us. "PDA much?" Ethan joked.

I pulled away from Rhett but he grasp my waist. "None of your business, Ethan." Rhett answered.

"Speaking of my business, a word with you Rhett." Ethan stated seriously. Rhett waited for him to explain. "Uh. Alone." Ethan said looking at me.

"Go ahead. I'll just meet you in the dojo." I consented.

Rhett nodded, facing me. "Are you sure?" He asked.

"Yeah." I answered. Eyeing him and Ethan briefly before I peck Rhett's cheek.

I waved goodbye to the both of them and headed to my next class.

Relief flooded towards me. I began to look for Aimee, I have to remind her to keep her mouth shut. She almost ruined my relationship with Rhett.

Ugh. She's nowhere to be found. I texted her to come at my place later since I couldn't find her and I was late for the training.

The dojo was packed today, I don't know why but I have a feeling it has something to do with me.

"You're late. Go change quickly." Captain Kenny barked at me in front of everyone. I was startled a bit but sigh when he winked discreetly at me.

Eyes were on me when I head to the changing room. A girl in a ponytail was there in the changing room. She looked at me curiously, "You're as beautiful as they've said." She stated sounding  more annoyed than amazed.

"Uh. Thanks?" I said changing to our training uniform.

"Aside from beauty, I wonder what did Rhett saw in you? No offense meant, doll face. Just plain curious. I'll see you outside." She smiled icily as she left me alone.

I huffed in annoyance. What did she meant by that? Didn't she know that beauty is everything in this world?

I rolled my eyes at the thought. Doll face. I'm better looking than a doll. I came out of the changing room, and everyone was looking at me except for the two person chatting on the farthest end of the room.

I wouldn't mind much, but I recognized Rhett's back. I stepped towards them to see whom he's talking to. It was the girl from the changing room.

I paused briefly before I hugged Rhett from the back. "Hey, babe." I drawled. He looked back at me then hugged me to his side.

Rhett smiled as he kissed the top of my head. I smiled at the girl he's talking to. Her face was annoyed. "Nice seeing you, doll face." I said sweetly.

"You two knew each other?" Rhett asked in surprise.

"We met in the changing room. I never got her name, but she called me doll face. How sweet of her." I explained to Rhett.

He chuckled lightly, "Dina's far from being sweet, baby. She's the best in our women's division in mixed martial arts." Now it was my turn to be annoyed when he called her 'the best', my ego couldn't stand it.

My eyes flickered to her, "Oh really?" My eyebrow arched lightly. She looked smug. Really smug.

Rhett squeezed me a bit to him, "Yes. In fact, I was just asking her to train you. I don't want you to train with the guys." He said.

Dina stepped forward, "I'd gladly train her." She was now grinning like cheshire cat.

"Perfect." I muttered sarcastically.

Rhett smiled, "That's great. I knew you'd get along."

Both Dina and I looked at him like he was a madman.

Men.

They really don't understand women.
