Cole's eyes widened at Lucy, impressed. She was really getting up in Trang's face- normally, his babe was totally mousy and took crap from everyone... This was so super hot... But, Trang was being a belligerent douche, which he might have to talk to him about later- whoa! Did his babe just jump Trang? Okay, this is hot... Cole got up to get a closer look. Damn! Solid punch! Ooooh, this was gonna translate into wicked nookie later...
But, suddenly, he saw Trang clawing at her shirt, and he felt his fists clench at his sides. Mine! he thought to himself.
He walked over and stepped on Trang's fingers. Lucy was so busy she didn't even notice. Trang, however, struggled to move his hands, and then started to try to move his knees, but Cole looked down at him with a threatening glare, making a slashing motion against his throat. In shock, Trang's eyes went wide, and he let himself go completely limp. He decided playing dead was the best course of action...
Lucy finally got up, and looked a little shaky, a little ashamed. "I... um..."
Cole quickly moved his feet from Trang's fingers and rushed up to her. "Babe, that was so badass!" Cole praised, kissing at her neck, his hands wrapping around her slender hips possessively.
"Really?" she flushed.
"Everybody get out of my babe's room for five minutes." Cole ordered.
"Trang needs medical attention!" Maya huffed. "And I think Lucy should probably get looked at too. Besides, she has to take blame for what she did."
"Hey! Jackie Chan had it comin'!" Cole said, yanking Lucy behind him and glaring down Maya. "He's lucky it was Lu and not me!"
Trang looked at Cole in shock. "You? What did I do to you?"
"You disrespected my woman!" Cole blurted. "You don't talk to her like that- ever! Mine!"
Lucy's face melted into a "my hero" dreamy smile, and she became enveloped in a fantasy of Cole dressed as a brave knight, and her a princess in a pure white and gold dress, sitting behind him on his black horse with a white nose and white feet. But, suddenly, she was jolted back to reality as she felt herself being lead out of the room by Cole's hands on her hips.
"C'mon, babe; we'll get you looked at too- she better not have one bruise, dude!"
Lucy flung herself at Cole, kissing him more soundly than she ever had, even in the throes of passion, and when she pulled back, Cole smiled at her, surprised and pleased. "I love you." she blurted, and then quickly turned to follow the others to Dr. Turk.
I love you too, babe... Cole thought to himself, following her closely...
