The Bad Girl And Good Boy

CHAPTER 16 (Ill protect you)

MARCS POV:
            I woke up in the morning and am quite surprised that I slept this well and now that I have accepted the fact that I like her I might as well imagine myself in one of those cheesy movie as the main protagonist.
          I have this goofy smile on my face that as usual wouldn't go away and I fall back on bed as it is Saturday and we don't have school today but frown when I realise that there is not going to be tution today so this means that I wouldn't meet her today and I nearly cried. A deep sigh leaves my throat and I try to fall asleep again.
                As im on the verge of falling asleep my phone pings. I immediately grab it from the bedside table and my almost leapt out of the rib cage as I saw the message.
Good morning damsel.
              -jl
I smiled and replied back
Good morning :)
             -mo
Why did I ever sent a smiley face now she must think I'm a creep
   Watcha doin? ;)
        -jl
Oh god that winky face though.
Nothing much just woke up. ':)
        -mo
Wow I'm actually having a normal conversation with a girl. The girl I like.
Meet me at the central mall in 15. Gotta show you something buhbyeeeeee damsel ;)
          -jl
I'm going for sure and I leap out of the bed straight to the shower.
        I get ready. She said in 15. Heck it's already 6 minutes done. I make a run out of the house. While doing so dad stops me in my tracks. "Where are you going Marc?" "To meet a friend" I gave him a clipped response and ran out of the house without wanting him to ask me any further questions.
         I ran all the way to the mall because I stay close to it. I check my watch. Holy hell 13 minutes down. I finally reach at the mall and triumphantly look at the watch to find 15 minutes and I'm already there. I huff and puffed due to all this running. "Well done" a familiar voice startled me out of my daze. I turn around to find ever so gorgeous woman standing right there.
           She was wearing a white tank top and blue jeans with combat boots and looked like an angel. "Yes you said I'm supposed to be here in 15" I say with all the mess I am. My heart beating threatening to jump out of its place. My hands so sweaty. "I thought you wouldn't come" she says with a smile her pearly whites showing. "And why is that?" I asked her frowning. Why would she think I won't come. Well she does know that she is important to me.
            "Whatever come let's go in" I trugged me into the mall and enter a book shop "what are we doing in a book shop" I asked her clearly confused "Nothing just wanna ask your advice" wow this girl is unpredictable like hell. She takes me to the most inside corner of the shelf and points towards a certain book. I drift my gaze towards the book and my face became the darkest shade of red. Oh my god it's a copy of the most famous book by EL James yes you're right it's a copy of Fifty Shades Of Grey. I look at her wide eyed and she just shrugges. "So this is your nerd smut right?" She asked me as I became more uncomfortable "it's nothing like that, I never read it..  I don't know" I say not meeting her eyes. "You think we should read it?" She asked casually and I had to ask the most stupid question "together?" "Yes" I don't know why but should I supposed to be this happy because I am. I look towards her and see her trying hard to get the names of all the books and try to fit in. She pouts that makes me wanna kiss her lips. And I did not deny my feelings for her this time. I really wanna do it. I wanna hold her hand, kiss her lips, kiss her cheeks, tickle her, take her out on date,lay next to her,... God save me.
           She looks at me while I'm still looking at her and our eyes meet like all the times but this time it's different. Nobody makes an attempt to break the contact. Her eyes show me promise, passion and most importantly affection. Makes me wanna just lean in and kiss her forehead. She closes her eyes and exhales as if from trying to stop her from going any further, but why I want it. Is it not obvious now.
                "Okay let's go" she says sternly and walks towards the exit. I quickly grab the Fifty Shades Trilogy and pay at the counter and start to move behind her. As I'm going, I see a group of guys sitting at the corner not quite decent if I may say. They look at jewel but jewel does not notice them and she keeps moving forward.
      "Look at that ass bro" one of the guys with blond hair and baggy pants speaks up. "Damn that chick is hot" I feel my anger boiling. I ignore them but one thing that a guy says that catches my attention "that bitch though"
         "What did you say?" I say, shit why am I saying this but I can't stop I have their attention now. "Ahhha here comes the saviour" the other guy says. I have completely lost the track where jewel has gone. "One more word about her and the consequences will not be good" I say as they just laugh and mock me. "Oh yeah, listen up tell your girlfriend that she is a hot bitch" that's it I tackle him on the floor but some guy hits me square in the jaw I stumble back as a surge of pain shoots through my body. I see some else just about to hit me as some other hand catches his hands. "Back off assholes" the familiar voice speaks with so much power and intensity it's scares me. I get up and stand behind her. "I sware to lord I'll kill each and every one of you if you guys land even one finger on him." Jewel says as they all smirk at her she removes a Swiss knife from her pocket and their smirks fade. My eyes widen as I'm dumb founded. I try to take her away from the scene but she has this evil expression on her face which makes me wanna run away shouting. I have never seen her this malicious.
           "Let's go bro" the guy from the group says and they all leave. Jewel grabs my hand and snatches and pulls me out of the mall literally and take me towards her car and literally pushes me in. I know I'm in trouble but I'm not going to say sorry for picking a fight because it was for her and I would not like if any one speaks terrible about her.
               She stomps toward the drivers seat and well "What the fuck was that?" This is probably the first time she has swore at me. I myself get angry and just cross my hands on look on front like the six year old I am. "Marc I'm asking you something" she says with same power that makes me flinch. "What do you mean by what the fuck?" I say as loudly. She is surprised because I used a sware word and so am I, she quickly hides her expression with anger again. "Okay whatever, those guys were speaking bad things about you  so, I couldn't take it. I won't like if them or anyone speaks anything bad about you."
       Her expression softened but now she looks confused. "I don't need your wooings Marc. I can handle my issues on my own."
         "I know" I say "you are more than capable, but I don't know what happened, I just..." I trail off realising that there is no valid proof as to what happened to me. "You frustrate me so much" she says her voice back to normal but still strained.
           The glint in her eyes gone as it is replace with conflicted emotions.
       There is a silence between us nobody speaks until "I still brought the books you suggested" I say in a defeated yet exited tone if that's even possible and finally I find her relaxing a little and a smile creeps on her face.
        "Well it's gonna be fun" she says and I blush again and she looks at me and erupts into a fit of laughter with mischievous look in her eyes and I find myself laughing with her but at that moment I decide to myself that I'm gonna protect her no matter what it costs , may it be my death.
        
JEWEL'S POV:
          I'm currently laughing so hard watching his expression. Oh my god. Damsel sure as hell knows how to cheer me up without even putting any efforts at all it's his innocence that pulls me towards him.
           But at that moment I take an oath in my mind saying that I will , I repeat I always will take care and protect him, even if it costs my life. Ill protect you Damsel.
