Ch19: I'll Make It Officially Official After I Kick Your Ass
"Oh come on," he chuckles. "You're a cheater. I was obviously not paying attention."
"You always have to be paying attention," I smile and he shakes he his head.
"I agree," Taylor laughs as she leans against a tree a few feet away.
We're currently in the park and Pipper told me he wanted to learn how to defend himself. I, being a good friend, decided to try and teach him.
So here we are in the middle of the park fighting.
"You enjoy torturing me," Pipper rolls his eyes.
"I do not," I scoff and he glares at me. "Okay, maybe a little."
He quickly gets in a fight stance and swings at me with his left hand. I rapidly duck and take a hold of his right hand before using it to flip him slamming him hard against the ground.
"Damn," he groans and I can hear Taylor laugh.
"Get up," I order and he shakes his head.
"Popper getting his ass kicked," a familiar voice yells and I turn to see Vincent with a big smirk on his face the two other devil boys behind him.
"You'd get your ass kicked as well," Pipper barks as he stands up slowly.
Maybe a flip was too much?
Nah, he'll get over it.
"I wouldn't," Vincent rolls his eyes and I give him an amused smile.
"Oh please," I chuckle. "I can kick your ass with my eyes closed."
"That's all Josh," he says and I can see Josh glare at him.
"It was dark and I didn't see it coming," Josh defends himself. "If I had known before hand then I wouldn't have lost."
"Seriously," I scoff. "What about you Alex?"
"Sorry shorty," he shakes his head "but I'm a wrestler. You ain't kicking my ass any day."
"Let's find out then," I hear another voice and turn to the very devil himself.
Van-fucken-essa.
"I agree," I turn to look at the boys. "We should find out."
"I say you bet," Vanessa smiles and I roll my eyes at her.
"That sounds interesting," Vinny nods. "If I beat kitten then she has to buy me dinner all week."
"Okay," I nod "but if I win then you'll have to answer any question I ask truthfully."
He seems taken back, but quickly shakes it off.
"Deal," he says and we shake on it.
"You ready?" I smile and he nods as he takes out his keys and cellphone from his pocket.
"Of course Ellie," he smirks and I take a deep breath preparing myself.
I can't underestimate him.
"Let's do this then," I take my stance and he does the same. We stand there for a few seconds before Vincent throws a quick swing with his left arm and I automatically move to the right taking a hold of his arm using it to pull towards me before I use my left arm to elbow him in the back pushing him behind me.
"Let's go princess," Josh claps and I turn back to face Vincent.
He's glaring at me and I can see the determination within him.
Okay then, let's do this Vincent.
He quickly comes towards me throwing a rapid right punch directly at my face, but I manage to duck on time. I immediately turn and as I do I throw a high kick with my left leg aiming directly at his chest. He groans in response as his body flies backwards hitting the ground harshly.
"Bulls eyes," I say under my breath to reassure myself. Force of habit, I guess.
"Come on Vincent," Van-fucken-essa yells a bit frustrated and I chuckle quietly.
"Is that it?" Vincent says as he stands up composing himself.
"Oh you want more?" I say mocking him. "I though I was supposed to go easy on you. I mean after all I do want to give you a chance to at least get one hit in."
My comment seems to bug him because he throws himself directly at my legs preparing to do a double leg take down.
Classic MMA move, but luckily I was taught how to avoid such a move by doing the sprawl. As soon as he comes towards me I throw my legs back and put all my force on his head and neck pushing him down towards the ground. He manages to push himself off and flip us over so that he ends on top of me.
"I got you," Vincent says out of breath and I smirk.
"Do you?" I ask confidently as I take a hold of his left hand and wrap my left leg around his neck. Then I place my right leg under his right arm and connect it with my leg pulling Vincent's body towards me. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull his head towards me causing pressure in his carotid artery making him feel like he can't breathe.
"Elliana," he gasps as he tries to pull himself off, but I have a strong grip on him.
"Do you give up?" I ask and I can feel his head nod desperately.
"Yes," he he pulls against me.
"Okay," I unravel my arms and legs from his body. He immediately rolls off of me and begins breathing in and out harshly.
"What the hell," Alex laughs. "You got him to give up."
"Years of practice," I stand up and wipe the grass of my legs.
"You have some strong legs Elliana," Vincent stands up looking completely unaffected by his defeat. "So what do want to ask?"
"I'll ask eventually," I grin "but right now how about we go home and watch a movie."
"Sounds good," Josh smiles wrapping his arm around my shoulder.
"I'm all sweaty," I tell him and he shrugs.
"We have a shift later today," Alex reminds me and I nod.
"Can I come?" Vanessa smiles and I frown.
"We're all just gonna go shower and stuff," Alec scratches the back of his head.
"Maybe next time," Vincent says as he shoves his keys and cellphone back into his pocket.
"Okay, no worries,"Â Vanessa says before quickly storming off.
"You guys coming?" Vincent asks looking directly at Pipper and Taylor. They seem taken back, but they nod.
"But no scary movies," Taylor whines. "You guys know I'm a chicken."
"Right," both Alex and Pipper say simultaneously laughing before they turn to look at each other annoyed.
Damn.
Taylor what are you doing?

"One double double and a coke coming up," I smile at the adorable couple.
"Thank you," the guy smiles before I walk away towards the kitchen.
"One double double Fred," I yell into the kitchen and I can hear Fred yell back an okay.
Fred's our cook and he actually makes really good food.
"Work is tough today," Alex comments as he wipes the counter in front of us.
"Yeah," I nod. "It's been a really busy day."
"Alex," Julio yells from inside the kitchen. "Can you come help me pack some boxes?"
"I'll be right there," Alex yells before going inside the kitchen.
"Blue looks good on you sweet cheeks," a familiar voice says as he takes a seat in the counter in front of me.
"Thank you Gale," I smile and he gives me his cockiest grin.
The work uniform actually does look pretty good on me. It's a light blue shirt with some tight black skinny jeans that make my curves show. I pair them with some back and blue Nike running shoes and threw my hair into a messy high ponytail.
Today, being my first day, I did my makeup extra nice and made sure I looked good.
"One chocolate shake please," he smirks and I nod.
"Coming right away," I say as I grab a cup and begining making it. A few seconds later a chocolate milkshake is made.
"Here you go Gale," I hand it to him and he smiles.
"Buy yourself something nice sweet cheeks," he hands me a one dollar bill and I chuckle.
"Thanks for the tip," I grin.
"Hey princess," Josh takes a seat next to Gale. "How's work?"
"It's great," I smile. "I really like it here."
"That's good," Vinny comes and sits next to Josh.
"Can I get you guys something?" I ask with a big smile on my face.
"What do you recommend?" Vinny asks and I look at the menu written on the wall behind me.
"People order the double double a lot," I say. "I assume it's a really good burger."
"I'll get two double double burgers then," Josh says and I nod as I write down the order.
"Okay," I walk towards the kitchen and yell inside. "Two double burgers Fred."
"Okay," he yells as I walk back towards Vincent.
"Where Josh go?" I ask noticing his absence.
"Bathroom," he says and I nod.
"See you around sweet cheeks," Gale smirks before jumping off his seat and walking away.
"He's got good game," Vincent comments and I chuckle.
"He does," I laugh. "I can tell he's going to drive the ladies crazy when he gets older."
"Like I do?" He says with a smug look on his face.
"Right," I reply sarcastically. "You annoy us so much we all just want to punch you in the face."
"So are you ever going to ask your question?" He asks suddenly changing the subject.
"I am," I nod. "Just not right now."
"Why do you want to know more about me?"
"To understand," I reply without having to even think about it.
"Understand what?" He gives me a confused look.
"You," I frown. "Understand you."
"Why?" He questions. "Why does it matter if you understand me or not?"
"I can't be with someone I don't understand," I reply after a few seconds of thinking about it.
"Be with?" He scoffs. "Be with how?"
"That's not what I mean," I shake my head. "I can't be there for you without knowing you. "
"I don't need anyone to be there for me," he says angrily.
"I did," I speak sincerely. "When I went into your room that night I needed someone. At the time I didn't realize it, but I needed someone to just listen and you did. You listened to me cry and then you didn't let it change anything. I needed that."
"Needed what?" Josh comes and takes his seat again.
"Needed this job," I lie and I can see Vincent give me a strange look.
"One double double," Fred yells and I go grab the burger before taking to the adorable couple a few tables away.
"Here you go," I smile and I'm about to walk away when I feel a pair of arms wrap around my waist.
"Princess," the voice says and I can see the adorable couple grinning at us.
"Are you guys together? " She asks and I shake my head.
"No," I answer.
"Not yet," Josh says at the same time and I give him a strange look.
"How adorable," the couple says and I nod before shoving Josh with me away from the table and their prying eyes.
"What are you doing?" I ask once we're far enough away that they can't see us.
"Nothing," he shrugs. "I was just about to ask you out."
"Ask me out?" I ask confused.
"Remember the day we kissed?" He asks and I nod. "Of course, how can you forget such a moment."
"Shut up," I shove him playfully. "Get to the point."
"You agreed to go out with me that day," he chuckles. "I'm going to ask again and this time make it official. Will go out with me Elliana?"
Go out with Josh?
Should I?
Why not?
It doesn't mean I'll lose the bet. He can fall first.
In fact, I'll make sure he falls before I do.
"Yes," I nod and he grins.
"So it's official," he takes a hold of my hand.
