Chapter 8
Getting out the car was painful. Beck wasn't sure why but he felt as if everything that had happened a few minutes earlier was just so..wrong. He felt as if he had let go at the completely wrong time. He wanted their first kiss to be on a rooftop beneath the stars or beside a warm campfire next to a tent of a white beach seashore. But it happened in a car after Cat had cried heavily. He felt crushed a believed Cat deserved much more than he gave her. He was contented and satisfied with what he got, knowing how special and rare it was. But he really did know Cat wanted more than that. He held Cat with his left arm as he carried her bag in his right. He was sure they were going to enter the house to complete chaos. Michael would be furious and was pretty sure Cat was in big trouble. Though Beck knew his responsibility for her. He knew that he had to protect her while they were degrading her. He had to be her shield against the world.
Beck was surprised that Cat had thought he didn't like the kiss that had happened. After backing away from her lips he desired more but felt as if Cat didn't like the whole setting of it all. He felt ashamed and he felt as if he had dissatisfied her. But one thing mattered, at that was that Cat had feelings for him and that they could really build on from that moment. He promised himself in that moment that he would never, ever leave Cat. He was committed for life. Cat seemed to be a huge weight on his shoulder as she held on. Her eyes were still damp and swollen and what hurt Beck more was that she was about to feel more struggle from her manager. Beck wanted Cat to rest. She didn't need any reprimanding right now. Putting her bag down for a while, he opened the door with his free hand. Entering was just as bad as he thought. Michael was sitting on the dining room table, his head in his hands. Beck suddenly felt Cat shudder as she looked around her house curiously. There, on the staircase sat a very mad looking Lloyd.
His arms seemed to be trembling and his veins seemed to pop out of his forehead. He slowly stood up looking at Beck as he held Cat in his arms. Cat felt so fragile and breakable in Becks hands, he felt as if he was holding her together. He realized how weak Cat had gotten since he had entered in her life. Beck sighed.
"Oh, I see you guys have gotten close." Lloyd began , his hands clenched in fists as he walked toward the two.
Beck felt a huge responsibility to get Cat to bed safe and sound. He wanted her to rest before she dealt with any of this crap. He sat Cat gently down on the dining table chair as he slowly walked toward the furious looking ex-boyfriend. Or fake ex-boyfriend.
"Listen, I don't want to start an argument" Beck began ,trying to sound open and friendy.
"I just want to put Cat to bed and be done with it"
Lloyd was getting closer. Beck wondered if her really wanted to start a fight with him right there. No offense to Lloyd but Beck felt as if he wouldn't be much of a fight. Yet he still didn't want to make such a scene in front of Cat. Lloyd was literally inches away from him now.
"Well then, you shouldn't have taken my girl" he replied slyly.
Beck felt as if he was being kid. Lloyd couldn't be serious. Taken his girl? Now Beck was pissed.
"Your girl?" he began his voice getting higher. Lloyd playfully raised his eyebrow, waiting for what else Beck had to say.
"First of all, she was never your girl. She was doing it for publicity so never think she was once 'yours'. Second, she hates you. Third, she's my girl."
Beck wasn't sure what kind of impact that would have on his opponent but he knew Lloyd wouldn't take into leisure what he said. He could hear noise coming from his knuckles and he was breathing heavily.
Before he could stop him, Lloyd threw a punch.
I know, short chapter but I ended it cause I wanted it to be a cliff-hanger for the next one. (:
