CHAPTER 8- FIGHT



Claire nervously bit her lip as she glanced at Leon from across the table. He stared straight into his cornflakes bowl and was much quieter than usual, always losing himself in thought. Ada, however, happily skipped around the kitchen as she made herself a vegetarian sandwich. Chris had left early for work and Sherry was still sleeping in, leaving the three to themselves for the morning.

Claire cleared her throat loudly, "Soooo...did you guys have fun yesterday?" she asked trying to break the uncomfortable silence between her and Leon. On any normal day, they could sit there for hours without saying a word and everything would be great. But today it seemed different and Claire couldn't stand even five minutes straight of silence.

She knew something was wrong with Leon ever since the night before. He went straight to sleep without saying a word to her, and she wouldn't believe that Mark kissing her could have that affect on him. Infact she couldn't believe that Mark kissed her on the first date! He was the shyest person she knew and that was a totally unexpected action coming from him.

Ada answered before Leon could even open his mouth. "Yeah it was great. The Italian restaurant we went to was very classy and the food was delicious!"

Claire swallowed hard, "Oh, that sounds nice." She looked over at Leon again, but this time he grabbed the newspaper in front of him and flipped through the pages. "So Leon. How are you feeling about going back to work after that short break of yours?" She knew it sounded like such a pathetic question, but she couldn't stand not having Leon talk to her at all. Besides she didn't know what was bothering him so much in the first place.

Leon looked up from behind the large newspaper and shrugged. "Ok, I guess. I'm still a little tired from yesterday and I can't help but wish I had come home earlier." He said in an almost bitter tone.

"Claire, you never told us how your date went. Come on and fill us both in," said Ada as she sat closely next to Leon and handed him a mug of hot chocolate.

Claire rolled her eyes slightly. The way Ada was acting was as though she and Leon were some sort of married couple. She sighed and decided to just tell them how it went anyway. "Well basically Mark's parents are these rich ass people, with a HUGE house, and the ball was just beautiful. I talked to them and they were nice, I danced and all that, then I felt tired and decided to come home."

"Oh, I BET you were tired," muttered Leon, under his breath, as he kept staring into the newspaper, not even reading it.

"You act as if all that was nothing!" said Ada laughing. "Come on, there has got to be something more, since you and that Mark guy shared a passionate kiss yesterday," Ada continued, raising a brow in interest.

Claire was shocked that she had said that and had her mouth open to answer when Leon gave a bitter grunt. "Excuse me, I wouldn't wanna be late for work on the first day back. See ya Ada." He said as he grabbed his gun from the table and stormed out the door.

"Man what the hell is up with him!!" Claire shouted in frustration and getting up, almost knocking down the chair. "I'll be right back. Gotta go kick his ass for being such a dick with me," she continued giving Ada a fake smile.

She ran out onto the front lawn as Leon opened the door of his car. She was still wearing her huge Pajama trousers and tank top. Leon stopped as he saw her jogging towards him with an annoyed look on her face.

'Oh God, here we go.' He though to himself as she stood in front of him with her hands on her waist and frowning as if she was demanding an explanation. He couldn't help but give a small smile when he saw her like that.

"What the hell are you smiling at??" She asked shifting her weight to her right leg.

"Nothing...You just kinda looked cute when you stood there frowning like that." He said, simply shrugging.

"Oh so now that you see that I'M pissed, you're gonna act all nice, is that it? You think I'll actually fall for that?" She asked in a harsh tone as she moved her head and hands in tune to the words she said. They all made fun of her when she did that, because it always looked as though she was ready to get into a 'bitch fight'.

"Who said I wasn't acting nice in the first place?" Asked Leon, still not wiping the grin off his face. He knew the methods to use when it came to Claire and her feistiness.

Claire rolled her eyes in exasperation, "oh please! You were ignoring me the whole time during breakfast and the way you looked at me was like 'die bitch!' and then you wonder why I'm upset! So what the hell's up??"

Leon looked at the ground guiltily and scratched the back of his head. Claire took a step closer with her hands still on her waist and cocked her head to the side. "Well??" She asked pouting her lips.

He chuckled and looked straight at her. "Ok, I'm sorry. Maybe I was being a little hostile this morning. But come on, I had a reason."

Claire threw her hands up, shaking her head. "Yeah, and what friggin reason was that??"

Leon opened his mouth to say something but then closed it quickly. Now that he though of it, there was no reason at all at why he should be angry at Claire. 'What the hell do I say? "I was angry cause you kissed Mark Thornton, that's why." Yeah that would sound great. Why the hell is that bothering me anyway?!'

"WELL?? Come on Leon, you out of all people don't have all day to answer. And Trust me, I won't let you get to work in one piece unless you tell me." Said Claire, cutting through his thoughts.

"I-I don't know. I guess I'm just in a bad mood Claire, that's all. Ok now move out of the way so I can get into my car and drive to work happily. Seriously, I'm not in the mood for this anymore." He said with seriousness in his tone.

Claire breathed out loudly, and moved out of Leon's way. "You're such a jerk sometimes, you know that?" she said annoyed.

"Yeah, well you can be the biggest bitch too sometimes." He responded sharply.

Claire's eyes grew wide. "You soooo didn't say that just now!" she said harshly.

"Oh well, too bad. Cause guess what? I did!" He responded just as harsh, raising both brows in challenge.

"WELL, you can be an overgrown ASSHOLE sometimes!" She said glaring up at him and accepting the challenge.

"Well, you can be a bitchy no good COW with....with boobs the size of PIMPLES!" He said, his eyes piercing through hers.

"How dare you insult my chest size?!! And I so wouldn't talk, cause Chris told me you had a dick the size of a friggin MAGGOT!"

"No way!" screamed Leon angrily, feeling that his manly hood had just been severely insulted, "I'm gonna kill him for that!"

"Oh, I'd LOOVE to see you try. My brother can whoop your sorry ass in 2 seconds! You'd better shut up man, cause bottom line, I will knock you out!"



Ada stood at the front door and watched Claire and Leon in amusement as she took another sip of her hot chocolate. Nothing could possibly please her more than watch them two fight like this. It was quite a hilarious scene.

"Oh, don't tell me they're at it again!" Said Sherry sleepily, as she walked over next to Ada.

"Claire is such a child," said Ada chuckling.

"Well so is Leon....make's you wonder. Aren't they perfect for each other??" Asked Sherry innocently looking at Ada's fallen face.

"It's pathetic. Besides I could never see Leon with Claire. He deserves a woman you know, not a girl," replied Ada giving Sherry a small wicked smile.

Sherry turned around mimicking Ada silently to herself. She then decided to walk down to Leon and Claire before they awoke the entire neighborhood or killed each other.



"You're just angry cause I don't feed your pathetic male ego like Ada! 'Oh Leon, you're sooo strong...Leon you are soooo handsome,' " said Claire making a funny impersonation of Ada.

"That is so low Claire, so low! I wouldn't be one to talk here. Remember your puny assed gay boyfriend Mark! You're the one who wants an ego feeding, you and your feminist crap! 'Oh come here Mark, come and get off with me on the first date cause I'm easy!' " Answered Leon, quite harshly as he cracked his voice to make it more feminine.

"I can't believe you just said that..." said Claire looking really hurt.

'Does Leon actually think I'M easy. Out of all people too! All because Mark decided to grab my head and kiss me??'

Leon's face softened as he looked at his feet guiltily. "Claire, I didn't mean that. I'm sorry, I was just pissed off that's all. And why did this stupid fight start anyway?"

"Whatever Leon. I know what you think of me now. But you know what? Whatever I do and who I kiss and when is none of your damn business!" Shouted Claire as she stormed past Ada and back into the house.

"Nice one Leon, nice one," said Sherry frowning.

"Sherry, not now Ok?" said Leon in irritation as he got into the car. "God why does she have to be so difficult!" he slammed the door behind him.

"Well I don't know why you guys were arguing this time, but there's definitely some underlying unseen problem in all this. Some anger you've both stored at each other for a long time, that you desperately need to take out. Maybe you should think about that for a while. And maybe after you do that you could think of a good apology for Claire." Said Sherry in a matter of fact tone.

Leon stared at Sherry and wondered how sometimes she could be so young yet so wise. "Thanks, I'll keep that in mind," he said as he started the car and waved goodbye to Sherry.
