Hi! Sorry for the long wait for the next chapter, I was very busy and had a major writers block!
I'm not a native English speaker, so please ignore the mistakes.
I hope you like it and please review!
Diana saw that Tommy had a hard time finding the right thing to say. She wondered why Tommy was so secretive about his past.
'Let's just say those were times I want to forget' Tommy muttered. His face showed little emotion, he was so hard to read.
Diana didn't understand what Tommy meant, the newsreader said he was a hero!
'From what I understood from the news you were quite the hero…' Diana tried to make eye contact with Tommy, but he looked right past her.
'I don't want to talk about it' Tommy said while turning around. He started walking towards the door. Diana wasn't going to have it.
'Tommy, wait!' She shouted after him. Tommy didn't respond and left the building, with Diana close behind him.
Tommy sighed softly and then turned around to face Diana.
'Look, I understand that some things happened in your past that you don't want to talk about' Diana started. 'But you can't just blow me off like this'
Diana didn't know what she felt for Tommy. She liked him, a lot. Hell, she wanted him, but he was so hard to read, she didn't know what he thought, what he wanted.
He must care about me, she thought. He stood up against Mad Dog for me, not a lot of men would stand up against Mad Dog.
'I'm sorry' Tommy responded softly. It wasn't the answer Diana had hoped for, he had let her down, again.
To make matters even worse Tommy left. He turned around and got the keys of his Chevy out of his pocket and unlocked the car. He reversed the car aggressively and left the parking lot, he left Diana.
The bar was full of people all cheering on the big game which was being shown on a big screen in the back of the bar. Diana sat down at one of the tables, waiting for her drink. She couldn't believe she did this, was she out of her mind?
'Here you go' Mad Dog said as he put down a glass of wine in front of her. Ugh, wine, she hated wine.
'Thanks' she replied, a fake smile covering her face.
After the whole Tommy debacle she agreed to go out with Mad Dog. What did she had to lose anyway? Although she must admit, she hoped Tommy would somehow find out. She hoped he still cared about her, she hoped he would get jealous.
Diana raised the glass to take a sip. The smell of the wine made her nauseous; it was dry wine. She didn't particularly like sweet white wine, but dry white wine was even worse. But Diana was raised polite, so she sipped from her drink, hoping it wouldn't take her long to finish it.
'So tell me a bit about yourself?' Mad Dog asked Diana. She couldn't tell if he was genuinely interested, or he just asked that to keep the conversation going.
'I'm sure you already know everything about me' Diana replied, taking another sip from her drink. This was going to be a very long night.
Mad Dog and Diana had been at the bar for at least a couple of hours. She was surprised to say that she was enjoying herself. Yes, Mad Dog was a jerk, but he was a fun jerk. They had been playing pool all night and Diana was drinking her wine like if it were orange juice.
Diana liked that Mad Dog wasn't as troubled as Tommy. Mad Dog was just the distraction she needed.
Diana put down the billiards cue and announced that she needed to use the restroom. She had been losing all night, Mad Dog wasn't a gentlemen who would let you win.
With some difficulty Diana reached the ladies room. She was feeling very nauseous and dizzy all of a sudden. Well, she did drink a lot of alcohol… She quickly touched up her make-up and decided that from now on she'd only drink water.
When she returned from the ladies room she noticed a familiar face. Tommy, he was ordering a drink at the bar.
Diana quickly walked past him, full of surprise that Mad Dog and him hadn't jumped each other yet. Walking was getting harder with every step she took. Her vision was also slightly off. I've never been this drunk, Diana thought suspiciously.
Mad Dog had noticed Tommy, he kept him in his sight while Diana quickly went past him. It was time to leave, it was only a matter of time before Tommy noticed her and things would be getting ugly.
Just when Diana was about the reach the pool table where Mad Dog was standing she tripped, causing her the fall with a large smack on the ground. If she didn't had Tommy's attention before, she'll sure have it now…
And indeed, Tommy looked over his shoulders to see what happened, only to find Diana struggling to stand up.
He quickly walked over her, but Mad Dog had already picked her up. 'She had a little bit too much to drink' Mad Dog said half smiling. Mad Dog sat Diana down on one of the chairs. 'She can't take alcohol too well'
Tommy observed Diana as she was sitting down on the chair. Her head was bobbing back and forth and her eyes were dim. He knew something was up, he had seen these symptoms a few too many times before.
'What did you do to her?' he asked Mad Dog, angrily.
'What do you mean?' Mad Dog said, like he knew nothing about it. Tommy knew better, Mad Dog had everything to do with this.
'You know damn well what you did' Tommy told Mad Dog. One thing Tommy knew for sure, he wasn't going to get away with this.
Tommy stepped forward, challenging Mad Dog. Mad Dog stood taller than Tommy, but Tommy knew he could take him down easily.
Mad Dog crashed his shoulders against Tommy's shoulders. He wasn't going to back off easily. Tommy knew that this was his time to strike. He stepped up, took a swing with his right arm and let his fist crash with Mad Dog's jaw.
It had been a long time since Tommy had got into a fight without his boxing equipment. Even after one punch his knuckles were already bleeding.
Before Mad Dog responded, Tommy quickly checked Diana. From the corner of his eye he could see her still sitting on the chair, resting her head on the table. She had no idea what was going on right now, no idea that Mad Dog had drugged her.
Mad Dog's fist went straight in the direction of Tommy's nose, only to be blocked by Tommy's both hands. Mad Dog stumbled back a few steps and regained his composure, but he took too long. Tommy had already put his fist against his face once again, and he kept punching. He kept punching until someone had to break them up. Mad Dog was completely defenseless against Tommy.
'You two, quit it!' the barman shouted, while trying to break them up. It was hard to contain two fighting machines, it took multiple men to prevent them from jumping each other again.
'You' the barman nodded in Tommy's direction. 'Out!'
Mad Dog was badly hurt, his nose was broken and cuts and bruises covered his face. Someone had immediately grabbed the first aid kit, and began treating the cuts. Tommy on the other hand was unharmed, apart from his bleeding knuckles.
Mad Dog was a much loved character in this bar, they completely ignored the fact that he just drugged an innocent girl.
Tommy looked around, an angry look covering his face. He quickly went over to Diana, who was about to pass out on the floor. He slipped his arm under her knees, his other arm around her waist and picked her up. He knew what Mad Dog's plan was and he wasn't going to let it happen.
