Chapter 7
Rovin stepped out of the dark smoke filled bar and onto the streets of Corus blinking in the sunlight. She looked to her left and saw a thief she knew talking to a man who owes him money. Standing a few feet from them was Noah listening to every word his friend uttered. Rovin looked away from them and watched as the many royal families went by in their fancy carriages and riding their gorgeous gorses, that any thief would kill to have. She watch a carriage roll by holding two small girls and their mother. Trailing behind them was what Rovin guessed their father and along with two boys who looked much alike. The boys stopped and stared to where the thief stood arguing with the man. Rovin watched something slither off one of the boys before disappearing into the crowd. Thinking it was a cat Rovin forgot about it at once. Turning from the boys she walked over to where Noah stood listening with his arms crossed. When Rovin appeared beside him the man grew more nervous and started stuttering a bunch of nonsense words. Sometimes Rovin loved her reputation and other times she hated it. This was one of those times when she loves it. She silently pulled a dagger from her belt and held it down by her thigh. The man went pale and stared at the dagger in shock.
"Bring the money next week or you'll have a few less fingers." Rovin hissed before dragging Noah away from the group. When they were a few streets away and Rovin had re-sheathed her dagger Noah spoke up.
"So Rovin what do you want to do today?"
"Nothing with you,"
"Come on hun!" Noah responded putting his arm around her shoulder and pulling her against his body. "You know you love me!"
"Like hell!"
"Don't be so harsh Rov!"
"Don't call me Rov,"
"What should I call you then?"
"How about my name!"
"and that would be?"
"I'm not going to deal with this!"
"What aren't you going to deal with?" he was teasing her and they both knew it. Rovin pushing on him and was able to break his grip on her shoulder. Angered Rovin stalked off down the streets trying to ignore Noah who followed her laughing and talking the entire time. They walked around most of the day arguing. They argued over which people to steal from, which stalls to stop at, even which roads they should take next. Around noon Rovin and Noah became separated. She soon found him flirting with a gorgeous young noble. Rovin was disgusted that Noah would try for a girl of her status. Rovin smiled thinking this was the perfect time for revenge on Noah. She walked to where she was almost in front of him and stood with her hands on her hips. Glaring at Noah she shouted in her loudest voice.
"Noah! There you are! I've been looking for you everywhere!" Noah and the girl both turned they're heads towards Rovin. Noah's face automatically fell and went pale. His eyes gave the look of a trapped animal. The girl had a look of disgust as she looked Rovin up and down. Rovin did likewise as she walked to Noah's side and rested her hand on his arm. "I've been so worried after you didn't come home last night. And you are?" she asked the girl
"Gezela," the girl responded not only looking disgusted but confused.
"Where are my manners!" Rovin replied with a small laugh "My name's Dodger. I'm Noah's wife!"
Noah's mouth fell open and he started gawking at Rovin. The girls face fell as well and she turned to glare at Noah.
"Your married!" Gezela shouted
"No, I'm not!" Noah responded turning to Gezela
"of course we are!" Rovin replied holding out her hand for the girl to see the ring. "MY wedding ring. It matches his!"
The girl shot a glance at Noah's hand. He quickly moved it behind his back, but it was too late. The girl had already seen the ring.
"Your not my wife!" Noah shouted at Rovin
"Oh yes I am!" she shouted back
"No your not!"
"I was the other night!"
"What!"
"So I'm only your wife in bed!"
"Yes! NO! NO!"
"What are you saying Noah?"
"Your not my wife!"
Suddenly Rovin broke out in fits of tears. Something she was taught when she was younger. "Are you s-saying you d-don't love m-me anymore?"
"What!" Noah responded growing red in the face from being so angry and trying to control his temper.
"We have two children at home! And by the way congratulations! Number three's on the way!"
"Excuse me!"
"You heard me! I'm pregnant again!"
"How! What! Who?"
"You should have told me you didn't love me before I became your wife and the mother of your children! I should have listened to my father! He said you were trouble but I didn't listen! I believed you loved me!"
"Rov - Dodger stop this now! It's not funny!"
"Your right Noah! Its not funny that your leaving me and sleeping with some pretty young noble who doesn't know better!"
"We are not sleeping together!" Gezela said cutting in "I just met him!"
"Of course you did. That's what you both want me to believe" Rovin responded point at Noah. "You've probably been sleeping with her for years! How many children do you two have that I don't know about?"
"Excuse me? Is something wrong here miss?" a man said off the street. Rovin turned to see Candle standing beside Tyger watching and acting like part of the crowd that had gathered.
"Is this man bothering you miss?" Tyger added
"He's my husband, only he's cheating on me with her!" Rovin said pointing to Gezela.
"That's it!" Gezela yelled shoving past Noah. "You sick bastard! I am not sleeping with him! I would never lower my self to such a level as to do that and humiliate my family!" With that she turned and pushed though the crowd. When she was far enough away and the crowd had disappeared Rovin, Tyger and Candle burst out laughing. They doubled over with laughter as tears streamed down their face. Noah's face wasn't as happy.
"How could you do that to me!" he hissed at Rovin
"do what hun?" she asked innocently.
"say you're my wife and embarrass me like that! Not to mention have Gezela insult me in that way!"
"Don't worry about it Noah," Candle responded leaning on Tyger in order to not fall on the ground laughing. "Gezela's a slut. She's slept with more men like us than you can count."
"Rovin still had no right to say she was my wife!" Noah said turning to Rovin in anger.
"but I am your wife dear!" Rovin replied
"yeah right!"
"oh shut up you perverted piece of filth!"
"What did you call me you slut from hell?"
"you heard what I said you bastard who couldn't get a noble if he tried!"
"and you can you shitty piece of dung!"
"I can and I have, noble men love girls like me you whore without a brain!"
"you mean sluts like you!"
"your one to talk! How many of the serving girls have you slept with?"
"at least I've slept with someone!"
"my private life is none of your business!"
"and mines none of yours!"
"correction! Your private life is known to everyone!"
"I have nothing to say to you!"
"good because I have no wish to continue talking to you!"
"oh go sleep with a whore!"
"after you!"
"are you volunteering?"
"over my dead body!"
"that can be arranged!"
"go ahead and try!"
"is that a challenge?"
" you wouldn't get far!"
"wouldn't I?"
"I'd kill you first!"
"would you!"
"yes I would!"
"your so full of shit! Can't you just shut up for once? No wonder your mother left you!" Noah yelled
Rovin glared at him stunned. Noah had never spoken about her mother before, he knew better. Tears gathered in her eyes but she wouldn't let Noah see her cry. Turning she pushed through the on-lookers disappearing into the crowd. Rovin emerged from the crowd and ducked into an alley to catch her breath. There the tears started flowing from her eyes. This time they were real. She wasn't going to let Noah upset her. Even when she realized everything he said was true. What scared her most was that Noah knew her more than any body else. Her father didn't even know her as well as Noah did. Noah knew just what would upset her and he said it. While Rovin was trying to calm down she felt something hard knock her on the head. Suddenly everything went black.
