Chapter twenty nine
Part twenty nine:
We both had determination in our eyes. Just like the staring game, we didn’t want the other to be able to gloat about winning. Bam was the first to punch. I blocked and immediately returned a punch. I got him in the face. That got his pride a little ‘cause he started punching like a madman. That was my advantage. He kept on punching, but it had no structure. He just went wild. I ducked and blocked the best I could, awaiting his weak spot. He paused to take a breath. I smirked. *gotya..* I gave strong short punches. He was caught by surprise and didn’t have time to block. I kept on punching. Arms, head, shoulder, head, head. His head started to give into my punches. He flailed his armed as a sign to stop. I paused but was ready to strike again. He breathed heavily, it made a hissing sound trough his mouthpiece. He smirked. I smirked too. We weren’t about to give up. Suddenly he lunged for me and started punching again, now it was my turn to be caught by surprise. He got me a few times, that hurt. Okay.. he wanted to play dirty? I can do dirty.. I didn’t hold back anymore. I punched and punched. Controlled, compared to Bam. Strength is nothing if you don’t control it. He looked shocked. I launched another punch. His arms disappeared from in front of me and he fell down. *Shit.. did I actually knock him out!?* I spit out my mouthpiece and knelt down next to him. Ville knelt on his other side. After five minutes of softly hitting his cheek and calling his name his eyes fluttered open. He looked a bit disoriented. Ville send him an apologetic glance. "Sorry to tell you this but she beat you Bam.. " He groaned and held his head. "You’ve got to be kidding me.. " He closed his eyes and slowly sat up. I grinned. "Nope. I beat your ass! " I said triumphantly. He groaned again and opened his eyes to glare at me. "Pure luck.. " He mumbled. My eyes widened. "You’re kidding right? I got all six of you out! Face the facts! " I rolled my eyes. You could have pride.. but this was just too insane. He didn’t even congratulate me or anything. He just got up and Ville helped him back to the house. I looked at the guys who all silently followed them. I rolled my eyes and jumped out of the ring. This had started out a lot of fun, but I hated how Bam couldn’t stand it if he lost. I mean.. grow up! You can’t win every thing! I frowned and walked in the same direction as the guys had went to. Only I refused to go in and see how he was doing. I was scared though.. when I knocked him out, but this was just stupid. I got in my car and left. It was getting late anyway
After I took a shower to get the sweat off me, I decided one long distance call would be worth it. I wanted to know why David wasn’t coming back.
"Hello? " He sounded sad..
"Hey Dave.. " I couldn’t hide the disappointment in my voice.
"Rainy..wow.. ehh. Hi.. " He didn’t sound the same..
"Why David? I thought your family made you unhappy.. " I said softly
"I can’t keep avoiding who I am Rainy.. I belong here.. "
"No you don’t! " I could hardly contain my anger. "You always said they didn’t want to let you go.. now they’ve got you back where they want you again! You can’t let them hold you hostage.. " Tears were stinging my eyes
"I have to go.. Bye Rainy.. "
"David! Wait-" He had hung up..
I threw the horn back on the phone and sighed deeply. Tears were poring once again. I inhaled deeply and just screamed. I couldn’t take it. I just screamed my heart out. Thank god the closest neighbours lived about 40 metres from either side of my house. I turned on the TV and came across the new song from linkin park. Bleed it out. I started yelling to the lyrics as loud as I could, Mike.. and Chester’s.. I knew the song by heart. When I looked out of the window, I saw the guys step out of the Hummer. It was dark by now, but you could hardly miss a vehicle that big. When Bam walked under the streetlight.. I could see the guilt on his face. Frankly, I forgave him long ago.. I thought he acted childish.. but I wasn’t mad anymore. It was just the pain David caused that made me pissed right now.
I opened the door before they could even knock. "I’m sorry Hell.. " Bam mumbled with his eyes on the ground. He clearly wasn’t good with apologies. I lifted his head with my index finger under his chin. A bruise was clearly forming. I smiled. "It’s cool.. if anyone should be sorry it should be me.. I guess I was a little hard on you. " I said with a wink. He looked relieved.. "I’m not bad at a lot.. but I suck at losing.. " I rolled my eyes. "Yeah I bet.. come in.. " I stepped aside and let the group of men into my house. They all sat down on the couches again and looked at me. "You have a really good voice by the way.. " Dunn said suddenly. I smiled. "It’s okay.. I mostly just sing in the shower.. The aggravation got to me back there. " Almost every male in the room lifted an eyebrow. "I called david.. " I mumbled moving my gaze to the floor. They made an O form with their mouths and said nothing. I guessed they filled Ville in too, ‘cause he shot me a sympathetic glance. "But.. " Bam changed the subject. "We came to ask you if you want to come with us to the lake tomorrow! We are going to do a boat race, and above the river nearby is a cool bridge where you can jump off! " He looked so exited about the idea, I had to smile. "What happened to the miniature golf idea? " I said with a smile. They all shrugged. "Can be done later.. or never.. " I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Yeah, figures.. " "AND! " Bam continued. "We are going to throw that party we talked about! Ville agreed to perform! " Now the grin was even bigger. "Don’t you need a band to do that? " I said sceptically. Ville smirked. "On their way sweetheart.. Don’t worry your pretty little head about that.. " I raised an eyebrow and also smirked. The guys looked amused. They knew by now not to push my buttons. "No need to get condescending mister Valo, this pretty little head holds a lot of useful information.. You might find yourself in need one day. It would be a shame to let a conversation like this ruin your chances of tapping into that knowledge now wouldn’t it? " I said with the smirk still on my face. Ville looked amused. I hadn’t spoken to him much yet. The guys head were looking between Ville’s and mine expressions. "Your a woman of many talents, I have to admit that miss Duquette. You have your way with words.. " He said smiling. I was surprised by this answer. I did a little courtesy and cocked my head to the side. "Why thank you mister Valo.. From a man with that kind of song record.. I’m taking that as a fairly big compliment. " I was enjoying this whole manner’s included conversation. The guys clearly weren’t. "Okaaay! Beer’s gone, so we are too! We’ll come pick you up tomorrow morning Hell" Bam said standing up. I smiled and nodded. "Sure.. what time can I expect you guys? " Bam acted like he didn’t hear me and just bolted out of the house. The guys didn’t answer either.. Ville was the last to leave. He smirked once again and kissed my hand. "I’d enjoy another conversation before I leave miss Duquette. " He said with a wink. I laughed and nodded. "Yeah.. likewise, might be a breath of fresh air compared to the constant hyped on sugar attitude from those boys.. " I said pointing my thumb towards the now almost jumping hummer. The music was THAT loud. He chuckled and nodded. "Sweet dreams. " I smiled. "Sweet dreams mister Valo. " I closed the door and sighed. "Funny how those guys can make your problems disappear..
"Why is your lazy ass still in bed! " I groaned and slowly opened my eyes. Bam, Dunn and Dico were jumping on my bed. The others just stood around, looking highly amused. I pulled my legs up to my chest and waited for one of the guys to jump in my line of kick. Bam was the first to make that mistake. I shot out my leg and he fell right on top of me. I let out a yelp. "Geez woman, cranky much? " Bam chuckled slightly, sitting up. I rolled my eyes and threw back the covers. I stepped out and stretched. Novak let out a moan. I slept in short shorts and my bra. I turned around and gave him a sick look. He held up his hands in surrender. "Hey.. you are the one dressed like that.. " I rolled my eyes. "You don’t see them making a sound! " I gestured to the other guys. He smirked. "Nah, they’re to busy drooling.. " I sighed and decided not to push any further. I’ll be out in a few minutes okay? I’m taking a quick shower. The guys nodded and went into the living room. "Help yourself to some.. Oh.. who am I kidding, how does the beer taste!? " I yelled while stripping down in the bathroom. The guys cheered as an answer. I just laughed and stepped in the shower to get ready for an interesting day.
We both had determination in our eyes. Just like the staring game, we didn’t want the other to be able to gloat about winning. Bam was the first to punch. I blocked and immediately returned a punch.
