The Cleaner's Daughter and The Assassin's Son

Arguing over the little things

Song: Titanium by Sia

Scarlett POV:

I take a shower not because he told me too but because I really needed one. I reek from the night before and my hair needs to be washed after puking. When I get out he is standing in the doorway.

He is staring a hole through me. "You should take a picture it would last longer." I tease him and make a few poses.

He doesn't say anything as I dry off. He doesn't even help me dry off so I guess he really is mad at me. I toss the towel to the side and walk past him to my closet. I throw on a pair of jeans and a shirt. He is still watching me. I know he wants to say something but he is so quiet and him staring at me like this is starting to irritate the hell out of me.

"Are you just going to stand there and gawk at me if you got something to say just say it?"

"If I want to I will stare at you all day." He smirks. "You know if you want to go out and party all you have to do is ask me I don't mind going out."

"Oh so that is what this is all about....you are mad because I went without you." I walk over to the bench in front of my bed to put my converses on.

"No, I just worry about you alright. You saw what happened last night."

I don't say anything as I tie my laces on each shoe.

"Scarlett I don't want anything to happen to you, dammit."

"Nothing happened." I say without any emotion.

He grabs my arm. "Nothing happened, what the fuck is this then?"

I look down and I have fingerprint bruises on my arm from where the guy held my arm so tightly.

"I'm fine, Mekhi." I glare into his eyes.

"Look I don't mind you going out and having fun just make sure I am there or at least Atticus."

"So you can watch over me. I don't need a guard dog." I snap at him.

"Scarlett dammit it's not about that." He tries to kiss me. Well he does I just don't kiss him back.

"I want you." He hisses in my ear.

"Not right now." I push him to the side and walk out the bedroom and he follows me.

"Don't make me come after you; we are not finished talking."

I stop a few steps down and turn back to look at him. "Don't give me orders and if you want this so damn bad take me to one of the private rooms.

He knows what I am talking about. He stares at me and shakes his head. "I told you that's not a place for a girl like you."

"A girl like me," I laugh, "well you're not getting any of this right now so darn." I turn back around and continue to go downstairs.

"Scarlett!" He calls after me but I ignore him.

When I get to the kitchen, Zane is already sitting at the table. He watches me as I come into the room and then looks over at Mekhi. He knows we are arguing.

"Good morning, I didn't know if you would wake up so soon after last night."

I don't say anything as I fix me a glass of my usual smoothie.

Mekhi sits down at the table. "You will have to excuse the attitude sir; she is in one of her moods this morning."

I look over and glare at him. Seriously if he thinks this is just a mood so help me. I walk over and grab a piece of bacon. "You know I can't help if some guys just can't take no for an answer."

They both look at me.

"What its true is it not?" I smirk. I don't bother getting anything else to eat. I roll my eyes at Mekhi and stand up to leave.

"Where are you going?" Mekhi asks.

"If you must know, I'm going out for a walk. I need some air and Rebel needs to be walked."

"I'm coming with you." He gets up and follows after me.

I don't bother arguing about it because he is going to go regardless if I tell him to our not. I am just out the gates when his hand comes in contact with mine.

"We need to talk about the wedding. I don't want to wait any longer to make you mine."

"I can't believe you want to marry me as much trouble as I cause you." I keep on walking.

"Scarlett I want all of you. I can handle whatever you dish out."

I roll my eyes. He says he can but yet he is always trying to control me.

"Well I do need to find a dress and all but you can't go with me you know?"

"Why not?"

"Duh...you are not supposed to see it."

"Yeah yeah...so when are you going to start looking?"

"I don't know; I don't want to go alone. You think Meagan would want to go with me?"

"She would probable like that."

"Great, so we can go tomorrow then."

"So what about the date..now or later?"

"Let's do in the late part of September, outside when it's not too hot or we could do it now like right this minute." I tease him.

"September will be fine; no need in pissing off our parents."

"Okay so that is settled then. Change of subject, I want you to take me to one of the rooms; I want to be able to experience it. Just one time then I will shut up about it."

"Scarlett you are not going to let it go are you?"

"I doubt it." I wrinkle my nose at him.

"What if I could give you something better than that room?"

"Guess we will have to wait and see then."
