Hi everybody! :D this is the new story i've been writing for a while. I didn't have time to upload this or update any other stories because of my Internet connection. I've already written 4 chapters of this story and i wanted to see what you think before i upload all of them.

Enjoy! :D

Being a leader of the Ronin was hard for John Morrison but he pulled it off alright. He was well known in Los Angeles along with his crew. The Ronin always wore masks and a leather jacket that had a red dragon on it and for John being the leader his jackets and masks were different from the rest of his gang. John had never had a girlfriend before, even though women would throw themselves at him and flirt because they knew he had that money. If he did had a girlfriend he wanted her to feel comfortable around him not threatened.

Didn't nobody knew what the Ronin looked like without there masks on so John could just go out in public like a normal person but that was hard for him to do. See at times John would be mad at the world for treating him different because he was in jail for most of his teenage life. From 15 years old to 31 years old. He had a hard time finding a job so he became a criminal and he made that money and the Ronin became a hit.

John had decided to go to Burger King and get him something to eat it was midnight he wanted to get something to eat and use there free Wi-Fi. He had internet, cable and phone from Verizon but he was hungry so he took his PC to. He got in his 2011 Ford Mustang GT and went to the nearest BK. Once he got there he walked inside and placed his order and sat down, waiting for his order to be called. A few minutes later someone else had walked in with a suitcase in their hand and John looked at the person. He realized it was a girl. she must've ran away from home. he thought. She walked to the table that was two seats from him. When he looked at her he saw that she had a black eye and from the looks of it she had most of her belongings with her.

John got on his computer and got on the internet and went on youtube. The girl eyed at him cautiously unaware if she should walk up to him and ask if she could charge up her I-pod. She decided walked up to him slowly though at first he didn't notice her so she lightly tapped him on the shoulder.

"Um…excuse me but can I can you charge up my I-pod for me? Please?" she asked shyly

"Sure." he said getting his USB cable and charging her I-pod. He decided to do something nice for her. Then his order was called and he walked and got his order. The girl watched him. She only had 3 dollars and what she wanted costs more than that.

John got his tray, sat down at his table and proceeded to eat. The girl walked up to the cashier and placed her order.

"Hello how may I help you?" the cashier said happily

"Um…can I get a medium fry and a double cheeseburger."

"Sure thing. Your total is $4.35"

John walked up to her, paying for her meal.

"Here." he said handing her a 5 dollar bill.

"Thank you mister. Thank you."

John smiled before going back to his table. He thought that girl was cute, really cute. He looked on her I-pod and saw that her name was Melina.

John ate his food and surfed the web. The girl smiled at the guy who paid for her food. He seemed nice but she always looked men a different way. Her mom was beaten by her dad, her boyfriend beaten her that's why she had a black eye. She would be scared at them but he seemed nice. John then sent his friend Claire a message.

JoMo: Hey Claire.

Claire: Hi JoMo. Whatcha doin'

JoMo: At BK like always. Can i ask you a question?

Claire: Sure.

JoMo: Do you know a girl name Melina?

Claire: yep. you know her?

JoMo: she came into BK with most of her belongings, all she did was ask me to charge up her I-pod.

Claire: What do she look like?

JoMo: She look Mexican. Raven black hair, dark eyes. Black eye.

Claire: Yeah that's the Melina i know! take it easy on her okay? She's been through allot in her life. And if you go hard on her i will jump through this computer and beat the shit out of you XD

JoMo: I made sure she got something to eat. And yeah like that's gonna' happen.

Claire had told John to take it easy on Melina. To John it looked like she ran away from home so being the nice, giving guy that he is. He'd let her stay at his place for a night.

She walked up to the man and grabbed her I-pod from his computer. It was fully charged.

"Thank you. You're a very nice man."

"You're welcome." John smiled "You're a pretty girl."

Melina blushed like a little school girl having a crush on a boy. She hid her face behind her hair. No one, no boy, has ever called her pretty before.

"Thank you." she said shyly

"You need a ride or anything? Do you have anywhere to stay?"

"I don't have anywhere to stay." she said sadly looking at the ground "I ran away…from home."

John frowned as she looked like she about to cry. "You can spend a night with me." Melina looked at John with slight fear in her eyes like he meant he wanted to do something with her. She didn't trust him that fast, she was just glad she got something to eat tonight. "I won't do anything to ya okay? You can stay in your separate bedroom and I'll stay in mine."

I don't have anywhere to sleep tonight. Maybe I could spend one little night with him…I'll just sleep with a knife if he try to do anything with me that I don't approve. Melina thought. "Okay. Thanks for being so nice to me."

"No problem." he smiled.

They was finished eating in a matter of minutes. John helped her put her stuff in the trunk along with his PC. John drove to his mansion. He was hoping his crew wasn't there to blow his cover.

"So uh…what's your name?" he asked

"Melina." she replied "What's yours?"

"John. John Morrison." John said "Do you like the Ronin?" he asked hoping she did because if she didn't he wouldn't know how to tell her he was the leader of them especially if he liked her.

"No. I hate them. They put my brother in a coma." she said coldly "I wish I could put their leader out of his misery and I hope he rot in jail."

John gulped. I hope she don't find out the truth about me. "Well…why did you run away?" he asked trying to get off topic.

"I don't want to talk about it." she said sinking into her seat looking out the foggy window.

"Sorry about that…" John said "I didn't mean to get that personal."

"It's okay."

Ever since that the conversation was silent. John decided to put on a little music in the background on the way to his house. Melina had got on her phone to make a call. He noticed she had those old fashioned flip phones instead of the smart phones and the androids. His phone was an HTC Evo Shift 4G, a $550 dollar phone. Melina sighed when she saw his phone. She had wanted one for her birthday but she never got it. The only person who actually cared about her birthday was her mom and the best her mom could get her was a cake.

"Nice phone." Melina said in a whisper

John looked over at her before shortly turning his attention back to the road. "Thanks."

Once John made the turn he reached his mansion. Melina gasped silently to herself. John must be rich. she thought. He pulled up into his drive way and parked his car and popped his trunk to receive his computer and to carry Melina's bag. He was being a gentlemen, he thought she was pretty even though she had a black eye. He thought by the way Melina was talking to him that she was scared, shy or even that she had a bad experience with men. John wasn't like that though; he was raised to respect women and never to lay his hands on them to hurt them.

"John you don't have to carry my stuff. I can do it myself." she said trying to get back her stuff from him.

"No, no I insist." John said still clutching her belongings "You've must've been through allot today."

"You have no idea…" she mumbled under her breath. She didn't trust John that fast. In fact she didn't trust him at all but he did seem very nice, kind and gentle with her; paying for her food and letting her sleep at his place for one night. No other man would do that so fast.

John walked up to his front door and grabbed his house keys. Melina was behind him walking slowly. John opened his house door and when Melina saw the inside of his house she looked at John with envy. It was very luxurious and everything inside looked like it was worth more than five thousand dollars.

"Wow…" Melina gasped in sight while turning around to get a glimpse of everything that was on this floor. "Your place is amazing."

"Yeah." John said walking up his spiral staircase "Follow me. I'll show you where the bathroom and the room you'll be staying in for the night."

Melina followed John upstairs. Once they got inside the room Melina was staying in, he placed her belongings near the door.

"Alright here ya go." John said "The bathroom is down the hall and my room and across from your room is my room. Get me if something goes wrong."

"Thank you so much John. I owe you one."

"Don't worry about it." John replied turning to face her.

Melina thought John was a handsome guy but she still didn't trust him. She thought he might set her up or something. After having a bad experience with men she thought John would be the same way…unless she got to know him.

John placed his hands on her cheeks and tucked a strand of Melina's hair behind her ear. "Don't worry about me Melina. I'll be fine, I'm more concerned about you. Is there anything you want to talk about? You seem scared to be around me, is it because I'm a stranger?"

"John there's nothing to talk about okay? And I'm not scared of you…I'm just shy. That's all."

Melina blushed under John's gaze but he luckily he didn't see it. John removed his hands from her cheeks and gave her a friendly hug before speaking. "I may not know you but you seem like a nice girl. I'm not gonna' hurt you. Please believe that."

"You…wouldn't hurt me?" Melina asked

"I wasn't raised like that. I was raised to respect women and not to hurt them."

Melina sighed a breath of relief. But she still didn't trust him unless she got to know him.

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

John closed her door with a click as he went in his room with his PC and he shut his room door. He got on his phone and sent a text message to his gang.

JoMo - Change of plans. Robbing bank tomorrow at midnight.

John had to watch Melina not only because she was at his house but he didn't trust her neither. She might try to steal his stuff or something.

He change his clothes into his pajamas and crawled in the bed and faded away in an uneventful sleep.
