Knight in Shining Armani

Chapter twenty three Anything Could Happen Ellie Goulding

She was walking towards Luke when she was grabbed roughly by the wrist.

"What the he-" Pasha said as turned to face the blonde guy earlier.

"I knew you were lying." He said through gritted teeth.

Sighs. "Please leave me alone blondie." Said Pasha, patience clearly being tested here.

"I won't because you are going to pay for lying to me."

"Don't say I didn’t warn you." Pasha said as she twisted blondie's arm behind him causing him to shriek in pain and tripped him on to the soft sand. She then casually walked away. Blondie was not satisfied. He charged towards Pasha, grabbing her by the shoulder now.

"NO ONE WALKS AWAY FROM ME!" he yelled, causing other beach goers to crowd around them.

He punched her.

"I am not just any one and for one last time, I am telling you, please leave me alone." She said as she wiped the blood of her lips.

"Not happening babe." He smirked, he enjoys watching the blood crusting from her wounded lip.

"I said don't call me that." Pasha said as she elbowed him in the face and kneed him in the gut, a move she learned from her muaythai training. Then, she straddled him and made him her own personal punching bag.

Some people were cheering when she was done.

She finally got to where Luke was. She wasn’t in the mood to talk and Luke was completely swamped by girls he didn’t even notice her there.  So she just picked up her board and started walking home. Luke had the key to the car but he was busy.

'I guess he is back to his old ways.'  Pasha thought as she started walking. 'I'm way too tired to walk.'

She called David to pick her up.

"What happened to your lip?"

"There was a creep on the beach. You know the rest."

"How tall?"

"About 6'2."

"And that was all you got from him? How is he?"

"Worse than me. He'd need stitches."

"That's my girl." David beamed proudly. "Hey, I thought you were out with Mr Goldstein?"

"Yeah, I was but he is busy being talked to by a bunch of girls."

"Is that jealousy I sense?" David teased.

"Haha, no. I am not. He is free to do what he wants. He is just taking care of me while Liam is away."

"If you say so. I am glad to see that you have gotten back to surfing."

"Me too."

David dropped me off at home and opened the door for me with the spare key as Luke still was at the beach with the keys.

She showered, changed into something more comfortable and tended to her wounded lip. It is hardly noticeable now, just a minor throbbing when the area is touched. She wondered if he was still at the beach.

She was sleeping when she felt a weight on the bed. She stirred and saw Luke shirtless and was looking down on her. He smelled of soap. It was pleasant.

"Hey sleepyhead." He said. "I was looking for you when Corey said that you had already left."

"Mmhmm yeh." She said as she rubbed her eyes. "Why are you here?"

"Heh? Because Liam put me in charge?"

"No I mean, why are you here, in this room, on this bed, shirtless?"
