A Fighter Not A Lover

CHAPTER 9: He Kissed Me!?!

▪MACI▪

        I couldn't believe that Julian apologized to me. It was surprising. Although right away, I could tell he was scared.

        I accepted his apology but still told him to stay away from me.

       Then today at the salon, after hearing I had a client, I went and saw it was Henry.

       I was surprised and had him follow me back to my station where I began cutting his hair and then when he followed me back to the shampoo bowl and as I tested the water to make sure it was warm before wetting his hair, I noticed his knuckles were all busted up.

        Then after we returned back to my station we talked a little bit and then I thanked him.

        Right after he replied with how a man should never hit a woman out of anger comment, I suddenly got a quick feeling that maybe he isn't too bad after all.

       Tonight happened to be a big night, seeing as to how Karl had just gotten a promotion at his job and wanted to go out and celebrate.

        So he rented a limo to pick us up and take us to his favorite club and Henry was gonna meet us there later.

       After arriving, we all head over towards the VIP section that's all roped off and where we have waitresses serve us.

       It wasn't too long until Karl had ordered a few rounds of drinks for us and both him and Lexi had left me to go and dance. Which I didn't mind. I just wanted to hang out from being on my feet all day. Then I heard a guy call out my name.

        "Holy fuck. Maci, is that you?" I hear the guy say.

       I turn my head to see who it was and right away stood up from my seat after seeing it was Alex.

        "Alex?!" I replied in surprise.

        "It's been a while." He says.

        "Yeah, it has." I tell him.

       "You still look the same. You haven't changed one pound." He remarks.

        "And I see you haven't changed one bit. Still an asshole and dumb as fuck." I replied.

        "Oh stop lying to yourself. You know you want me still." He grins.

        "The hell I do." I tell him.

       Then an old friend of mine, Sam, who he cheated on me with her, she comes walking up beside him and then see's me and gives me a disgusting look.

        "Oh my god. You're still alive?" She says.

        "Hi Sam. You look still slutty like always." I remark.

        "Don't be jealous that you're too fat and ugly to pull this look off." She says.

        Then before I could say anything, I felt arms wrap around my waist and then turn me around to face them and saw it was Henry. Although before I could say anything, he cupped my face and kissed me.

        I can't believe I'm about to say this but I really did get lost in his kiss and felt everyone and everything else fade away.

       Then he pulls back and we look into each other's eyes.

       "I'm sorry I'm late baby." He says.

       I look at him confused and still not fully in the present with just what happened. Then I snap back into reality and realize he's helping me out.

      So I turn and see Alex and Sam both standing there in shock.

      "You are not with this guy." Alex remarks.

      Then before I could answer, Henry beat me to it by holding my hand.

       "Yes I am. She finally found out what a real man feels like." He smirks.

       I can see Alex start to ball his fists up and is getting really angry.

       "Don't flatter yourself. That ugly fat slut has been with everybody." Alex says to Henry and then right as he was about to throw a punch towards Henry, he moved his head to the side so that Alex missed and then punched Alex who fell back a little bit.

        "Don't you EVER fucking talk to her like that again!" Henry yelled at Alex. Then Alex got up and charged after Henry and started to punch him.

        They were fighting with each other for a little bit, hitting glass, tables and knocking stuff over until I grabbed Henry's arm and started pulling him for us to leave before the cops came.

        "Come on, we need to leave." I tell him and he takes my hand again and we start heading outside and grabbing a cab to take us home.

        While on the ride back to the house, I texted Lexi and told her that we were heading back to the apartment and would see them later.

        As soon as we got home and walked inside, I right away went towards the freezer and pulled out an ice pack, then got the first aid kit after noticing he was bleeding by his right above his eyebrow and his lip. Then I walked over towards Henry who was sitting down on the couch and I sat next to him.

       "I'm fine." He says.

       "No, you're not. Come here." I said.

       "I said I was fine!" He says only a little more mad.

       "I'm just trying to help." I tell him.

       "I don't need your help." He snaps back at me.

       "Fine. You wanna bleed all over the place and feel pain, then be my guest. But you don't need to be a Prick and snap at me for trying to help. I mean, are you bipolar or something?" I asked.

        He didn't say anything or even look at me. So I just rolled my eyes and headed towards my room to go to bed when right as I got to my bedroom door, I felt him turn me around and push me back against the wall while he held both my hands above my head and kissed me hard at first then it turned into a passionate kiss.

        What the hell is going on? Didn't he JUST snap at me?

        "I'm sorry." He says as he pulls back a little bit.

        "What was that?!" I snapped at him.

        "I just wanted to kiss you. I've wanted to do it for a long time." He says.

        "Yeah but you just snapped at me a minute ago for trying to help you and then you kiss me? I'm sorry but I'm not into those kinds of games." I tell him and then he releases me from his grasp and I go into my room.

         I have been through all that mental and  emotional bullshit before and the fact he can just switch moods that fast, I just can't play that game. Not anymore.
