The Nerd with the Dangerous Secret

F o u r

"Mommy, daddy" The tolder said when she saw us her smile instantly lifting the weight that had been lodged into my chest throughout the day. She places her arms into the air silently pleading with me to pick her up, crouching  down I scoop her into my arms

Mason leans over and kisses her forehead before digging his nails into her side making her squeal and squirm in my grasp as she laughs, her blonde hair being thrown backwards the same as her head as she laughed "Hows my little princess?" He asks her which she responds to with a pout 

"I'm not little daddy I'm a big girl!" She argues jutting her lip out that little bit further

"Yes Gracie yes you are" He smiles at her his face and eyes briming with adoration if I'm honest I do love the way Mason is with our daughter he is always kind and patient with her, the way his face lights up when we talk about her or when she wants him to play with her and without one shadow of a doubt Gracelyn is a daddy's girl through and through 

"Hi you two how was school?" My mom asked appearing in the doorway leading to the kitchen, her brown hair tied up into a night bun as she smiles at her granddaughter squirming in my arms as she tries to get into Mason's I pass her over to him and he takes her

"Same as usal, getting picked on" I sigh when I see her facial expression I know Isaid the wrong thing and that I was going to get another lecture on acting like a nerd or the dangers of what I do to get money for my daughters future

"Why dont you show your real strenghth" My mother points to my unintentiallly balled fists I knew I was right I knew she was going to go down this route but couldnt bother arguing my case to her again so i just sight

"Because I have to" I say before adding "For Grace and I have another fight tonight so dont wait up goodnight my little fairy" I kiss Gracelyn's cheek before grabbing my chervy keys and waving goodbye to Mason and Mom then I walk out of the door

....

Parking at the back of the bar I slide out of the car and  grabbed my gym bag before walk into the bar and chucking some money onto the bar before grabbing a bottle of water and walking into the bathroom located at the other side of the bar

Nobody was in there but I nabbed the disabled toilet just encase and started to change into more flexible clothes then jeans and a loose fitting jumper I put on a pink Nike sports bra that showed off my tone stomach and how much weight I had lost over the year and a half I worked out a lot since I needed to loose the baby weight it can also come in handy in my fighting since I am much quicker and it works wonders with the boys making then an easier target slipping on some daisy leggings and pumps I walk out of the bathroom and my ears are met with drunken rowdy cheers 

"And we have another champion Gold Digger now would anyone want to challenge him. . .Do we have any takers?" The self appointed ref shouts through the microphone as I duck into the crowd and tie up my long curly brown hair so it wont  get in the way while I fight an then, as no takers step forward I do but  quickly regret it when I see who it is

It's the boy from the hallway 

Both of them look at me funny probably because I'm a girl and I'm going to whoop his ass but I don't care, the self appointed ref gestures for me to take my place in the middle of the human  circle and opposite my opponent which I do and I instantly shield my face with my fists as I wait for the ref to start the fight

"You sure you want to do this baby bird?" He asks me and when I nod he just chuckles and ten says "You all know the rules place your bids now and to our fighter good luck and try not to die, I can not handle all the paper work" He says pushing his hand down in between us initiating the fight 

His hands copy mine as he begins to bounce on the balls of his feet studying me for weaknesses but I can tell by the stern look etched onto his features he hasn't found much on me to go on, we circle each other again before he takes a jab to my side which I dodge and then he speaks  

"You look familiar" He states and he looks as if though he's trying really hard to connect the dots of the person he saw in the hallway to this person and I cant let that happen so before he can think anymore I sink my most powerful punch into his gut and he coughs a little probably trying to get air back into his lungs

He stumbles a little before rooting his footing into the concreate and punching me straight in the eye before continuing with his previous statement "Yeah you have the same eyes minus the swelling around her eyes  as her and the same hair colour she does but you have a slimmer face and a hotter bod than she does are you sure your not related to her like at all?" He asks me leaving me feel slightly disgusted and pleasantly surprised by his twisted complement

"I'm an only child besides I don't know who you are talking about anyway so how would I know" I smirk hitting him with a left hook and then a right hook straight away not giving him time to recover himself when he falls to the ground and yelps a little I go in with my next attack 

Two punches to his head and one to his stomach he is only barely hanging onto consciousness and his eyes are slowly closing he mutters something that I don't quite catch and I send the last final punch to his eye
