To Honor a Maiden
The new farmer Alex has a frank disagreement with Karen's ex Rick.
I was hanging out with a few of the guys in the village like Gotz the woodworker, Basil the herb know it all, Cliff the town photographer, Rick a poultry farmer, and Duke the vineyard owner. "Yeah so that's how I helped out Karen and her family". "Cool Oh yeah Alex I got the lumber you asked for that'll be $700". "Thanks Gotz" I said. "Yeah cliff I would like you to take some pictures of some interesting plants I found in the mountain," said Basil. "O.K. I will have them all processed and finished by next week," said Cliff. So it was about 12 o'clock or noon when stuff started to get rowdy. "Hey Alex what do you find in that slut Karen?" said Rick. That's when I blew my top "Don't you ever talk about Karen like that again Dick" I yelled at Rick. "Who's gonna make me YOU" said Rick in a cocky tone of voice. "You're going down Rick," I said as I lunged at him with my fists ready to punch. **Bam* * I unleashed my fists of fury on him. "OWWW my nose you broke it you dick" said Rick as he wiped the blood from his nose. He landed a few right hooks and some gut punches on me but then I gave him a kicking combo and made him unconscious. Later I went to the clinic to get bandaged up "how are the ribs Alex?" asked Karen. "Ugh they hurt like hell stupid Rick next time he gets a steel chair to the head" I said angrily. "Why were you two fighting anyway?" asked Karen. "Because he called you a slut so I beat him up". "Oh Alex you're so sweet," said Karen as she hugged me. "Oww my ribs go easy on the hugging till I get better OK" I said.
As the days go on I find myself more and more attracted to Karen but until I ask her out I will just defend her honor.
