Rikki and Zane were laying down on the bed in the guest room wide awake after Rikki admitted she knew who had done this to her Zane had gone completely still thinking it over in his mind she knew a lot of people but not many guys. He decided to just ask
"who"
"I can't tell you" said Rikki
"what why" asked Zane sitting up a little to look at her
"I just can't" said Rikki she wished she could tell but who would believe her he was one of the sweetest guys. He was smart funny everybody liked him who would believe that he did something like this.
"Rikki why can't you tell me" asked Zane
Rikki just shook her head Zane took a deep breath and pulled her closer so they were face to face
"ok if you won't tell me who. can you tell me what happened" said Zane
"I don't want to talk about it" said Rikki
"hey come on it might help" said Zane putting his arm around her. Rikki thought about it for a minute and decided to tell him. She told him everything from the fight with Emma to when he left the room.
"so I waited a little while to make sure he wasn't coming back got up the best I could and walked around the back to leave making sure no one saw me" said Rikki
Zane was trying to keep calm but all he really wanted was for her to tell him who so he could teach the son of a bitch a lesson but he didn't want to pressure her so he took a deep breath before speaking.
"what did he do after" asked Zane
"he pulled my hair so I was facing him kissed me on the cheek and said thanks" said Rikki
"you said you scratched him and bit him" said Zane
"yea so" said Rikki
"well did you draw blood" asked Zane
Rikki laughed softly at his question. Sure talking about this was hard but changing the subject with a question like that is just strange.
"I don't know I scratched him on his face, chest, back, shoulders, and I bit his left shoulder. I think he might have hit the end table. he had a big scratch on his forehead" said Rikki
Zane pulled her close as she drifted to sleep she might not be ready to tell him who yet but she would soon and then he will make sure this guy knows what will happen if he so much as comes near her. Moments later he realized she was asleep he slowly got off the bed and snuck downstairs. He was going for a drive to clear his head. As he drove he ran through all the guys that could have possibly done this to her in his head but came up with nothing he pulled into the juice net café and got out frustrated and more angry then he was before he went up to the counter and placed his order and waited. That's when he saw Emma and the others talking he looked at them strangely for some reason the guys were all topless. He rolled his eyes and looked away but he could still hear them talking.
"baby what happened to you were did you get all those scratches and what happened to your forehead" she asked
"oh nothing my cat just went crazy on me" he said
At this Zane turned quickly and saw Emma and jarred talking close by. Jarred had scratches on his chest, back, face, shoulders, and a big cut on his forehead. Zane walked closer to take a look at his left shoulder and sure enough there was a bite mark. Zane started to see red as he saw jarred talking to Emma he doesn't know what overcame him but he stepped towards him and punched him so hard in the face he fell to the ground he got up trying to swing at Zane but Zane moved just in time to miss it and grabbed him throwing him against a wall they were rolling all over the floor Emma and the others are screaming at him to stop. Lewis and Ash pulled him off while Emma and Cleo rushed to jarred who was bruised and bleeding slightly moaning in pain on the floor. Zane broke free from the guys and started to leave when Emma stopped him Cleo had jarred sitting up now all of them looking at him confused and angry
"what the hell was that Zane" yelled Emma
"he knows why" said Zane
Jarred looked confused trying to think what he ever did to Zane that would make him want to kill him. Everyone seemed to walk away so they didn't notice when Zane leaned down close and whispered in his ear threateningly
"you come near her again and I will kill you" said Zane
Jarred's eyes widened as he looked at Zane knowing exactly what he meant then he smiled
"how is my good girl I had no idea she was you girlfriend" said jarred he regretted it the second Zane fist connected with his jaw a few times before the others came out again Lewis and Ash tried to pull Zane off again but he was to strong he shoved jarred against a wall
"you ever touch her again and you will be sorry stay away from her understand" said Zane
"yea yea ok I won't" said jarred
Zane brushed everyone off and left the café jumping into his car and speeding off towards his house. When he got there he was trying to calm down he needed to talk to Rikki asked her why she thought she couldn't tell him it was jarred but she was asleep. Zane was pacing the living room when he turned towards the kitchen and saw Rikki standing there staring at him confused
"are you ok" asked Rikki
"no why didn't you tell me it was jarred" asked Zane
"what" asked Rikki looking surprised and confused
"why didn't you tell me that jarred did this to you" asked Zane calmer now Rikki looked away so he stepped closer
"I didn't think anyone would believe me" said Rikki brokenly
"hey I would have believed you" said Zane
"I'm sorry" said Rikki "how do you even know"
"I went to the café and there he was all scratched and bitten up" said Zane
Rikki laughed at how he put that but then looked him up and down he had a bruise forming on his cheek but his knuckles were all messed up like he was punching something or someone
"oh god what did you do" asked Rikki scared
"relax he won't ever come near you again" said Zane
Rikki looked at him mouth agape
"Zane I said I didn't want anyone to know" said Rikki
"I didn't tell anyone I kicked his ass waited till everyone left the room to tell him why he made a smartass comment so I kicked his ass again he knows why I did it but no one else douse" said Zane smiling. Rikki rolled her eyes
"god I didn't know you were so violent" said Rikki
"I'm not violent just protective. When someone hurts one of my friends I make sure they get what's coming to them" said Zane
Zane helped Rikki sit on the couch and put her leg up before asking
"why would you think no one would believe you"
"because everyone likes him he is Emma's boyfriend why would anyone believe he did some like this to someone like me" said Rikki
"hey what do you mean someone like you" said Zane Rikki just looked at him with are you kidding me look "Rikki you're a beautiful girl don't let anyone make you think otherwise" Rikki smiled at him and looked down at her wrist. Zane moved a tendril of her silky sun blonde hair from her face and lifted her chin so she was looking at him "I'm serious"
"so how bad did you kick his ass" asked Rikki
Zane smiled at her lifting an eyebrow
"lets just say he will never want to so much as look at you the wrong way" said Zane
"what did Emma and everyone say" asked Rikki
"they were confused and angry" said Zane
"what if he tells them" asked Rikki
"he won't" said Zane
"Zane…. "
"hey he won't if he douse he will only be incriminating himself" said Zane Rikki nodded her head understanding
