Ring, Rage and Jax.

Chapter 04- The one with the stalker.

[C A R A 'S   P O V]

By lunch break, I was too silent and too involved in my thoughts. Reggie had tried everything to make me feel better. I was scared, God was I terrified but I was confused and so damn curious. But definitely terrified more than anything. Sadly enough, Jax had almost all the same classes as me. He sat behind in all of them and worst part? I didn't even have to turn around to know that he was glaring or staring or being extremely creepy.

The girls in my college had gone haywire over the fact that there was someone as ripped as Mr fighter over here. Reggie and Nancy were discussing about the possibilities of something. I clearly wasn't paying attention. "Are you atleast going to eat?" Reggie asks and I blink back to reality. Great, I let my food get colder than it already was. I nod and shove spoonful after spoonful. The food diverting anything that had  any potential to occupy my mind. "Seriously though. In all seriousness, do you want me to go talk to him?" Reggie asks. A part of me was glad that they had finally stopped pretending that Mr Grumpy was stalking me. Yep, you heard it right. He was now stalking me. He's surrounded by so many cheerleaders but somehow his eyes continue to swallow me up. If I said I was scared, it would be an understatement.

'You have the cutest and hottest guy in Winchester Uni staring at you. Why are you overreacting?' It's not cool as the romantic clichés describe. I am scared shit less. Why? Let me break it down for you.

1) Mr Grumpy is a fighter. He threatened  to kill me. The same we had knocked the living day lights out of the newbie in their ring.
2) His eyes are deep and dangerously alert and haunting. They seem to be following me everywhere and the way they can scan you almost way too quickly was scary and unbelievable.
3) This guy looks like the definition of a bad guy. No no, not bad boy but a bad dude in general. From the way his actions are extremely monotone and lifeless, I am doubting if he's even human. Can you blame me?
4) I am slightly attracted to him. Okay, this is a bad thing only because my relationships and crushes have always been with the most toxic and dangerous people. Believe it or not; I've had the worst experiences.

I shake my head at Reggie. Like Reggie could survive Jax's punches. Aiden seems like a walking time bomb. I am waiting, waiting for him to explode and in the process shred me apart and damage my existence. "Cara? Reggie could deal with the guy. Not physically of course. God, Reggie wouldn't stand a chance." Nancy says ending her words with a laugh. A smile diverts my attention and I turn to Reg and Nanc. Reggie is glaring at her but she's too busy laughing to notice. His face softens to her and he has a small smile playing on his lips. Yep, totally whipped for her. I smirk at this and when Reggie notices I've seen, he replaces it almost quickly. Too bad, kid. I've already seen enough. "What's wrong with the way I fight though?" He asks. He's curious, genuinely confused and interested to know if he should improve. I shake my head almost instantly. Reggie has kicked ass for both Nancy and I. He's protected us through a lot. He's been in a lot fights and sure, he's gotten beaten up pretty bad but the guy at the receiving end of Reggie's wrath was always worse. "It's not that you are bad at fighting, Reg. It's that he is waaaaay better." Nancy says while emphasising on way better. I laugh at the pout on Reggie's lips. "You're right." He says and nods at Nancy before turning back to me and continuing, "I can talk to him. I am great at talking people into things. In other words, I am the most manipulative bastard you've seen." He says grinning boyish-ly. I roll my eyes at his statement. Yes, I have used the same exact words. Reggie is a manipulative bitch, he's gotten me into so much trouble so many times and he is one of the reasons why I am not a closed off person. I nod at his suggestion. "Fine." I say and before I can continue, Reggie is walking off to talk to Mr Grumpy. "How's he not scared?" I ask Nancy softly and she shrugs while staring at Reggie with heart eyes. I groan and continue to shove food into my mouth.
