My Life With Him

Him (Part 1)

"So let me get this straight," Danielle said with a chuckle as she looked at me with bewilderment "she stayed for dinner and met your family, yeah?" I nodded "She saw your room. Which you didn't let me see until we were like 6 because you said it was your secret fort or some shit." she said and I chuckled as I nodded "And she saw the roof? And slept next to you." she added and I nodded again "I still don't get it!" she sighed and I laughed loudly

"What is there to get?!" I said and she looked at me in shock

"And in all that time, nothing happened?" I shook my head and she smirked "You are so whipped." she laughed and I groaned loudly

"There you go again!" I said and she crossed her arms over her chest as she looked at me as she shook her head with a small smile "We're just friends!"

"Keep telling yourself that." she said as she patted my shoulder and closed her locker, urging me to follow behind her "Oh! I talked to Joe!" she exclaimed with an excited smile "He said he'd love to have you back!" she said and I frowned slightly

"I don't know..." I said and she smacked the bottom of my head with a shocked expression "Ow! What?!" I winced and she giggled slightly

"Are you being serious right now?!" she exclaimed "You love it!" she said and I nodded softly "They love you!"

"I know, but..." I muttered and she shook her head

"One match." she stated "I already promised Joe you'd try it again." she chuckled and I sighed in defeat as I nodded "You could even bring your new girlfriend." she said before shooting me a wink and walking down the hall as I smirked softly before shaking my head and walking after her

"She's not my girlfriend!"

"Where are you taking me?!" Eleanor yelled over the wind, I glanced at her and sniggered since I had covered her eyes with a blindfold, after much persuasión, I convinced her to join me after school but I didn't tell her where we were going, I was taking her to Joe's. The restaurant and underground ring where I fought. That's where I made my money, I barely spent the one dad gave me and Avery, I only ever used most of my winnings from here "This is kidnapping!" she muttered into my ear as she pouted which caused me to chuckle even more

"We're here." I said as I parked my bike next to another huge one, I got off the bike and turned to face her, taking the blindfold off her eyes as she squinted softly because of the bright light from the sign

"A restaurant?" she said with a frown "Are we not going to pay again?" she said with a light laugh, I shook my head as I gripped onto her waist and carried her off the bike

"Not exactly." I said as I grabbed her wrist and pulled her inside, heading to the back stairs that lead to where the fights were held downstairs, you could practically smell the beer and alcohol from up here

"It reeks of alcohol." she whispered as she coverd her nose with her hand "Why is it so dark?" she muttered as we descended the stairs, once we reached the bottom I opened the door and was met with the loud music and yells from people who were betting or cheering the fighters on "An underground fighting club?" she breathed "Why did you bring me here?" she whispered as she came even closer to me as she glanced around like a deer in headlights, I wrapped an arm around her small waist; she looked up at me, a small smile forming on her lips

"Angel, I brought you here so you can see what my life is. What I do." I said and she blinked up at me slightly

"Underground fighting?" she muttered and I nodded "Isn't that like... dangerous or something?" she whispered and I smiled softly

"Oh, Angel, are you worried about me?" I cooed and she blushed slightly

"Well, yeah." She whispered, barely audible. I looked at her with wide eyes, in shock "I care about you, Lucas Anderson." she whispered, a slight blush creeping onto her cheeks as she looked down at her feet

"I care about you too, Angel."
