Letting Go of Rain

REBECCA!? WHAT IS THE DEAL!? You look so cold and angry. Please tell me you're not going to give up on me! I'm sorry really I'll do what ever it takes to keep you from giving up on me.

Chapter 9

Punches and a Broken Heart

"Uh . . . hi."

My girls quickly jumps to my side and her eyes were really clear. She looks up at my girls and nods.

"Hello Mr. Crocket I'm here to inform you that I will be leaving here." Rebecca states in an icy tone.

"YOU'RE LEAVING WHY!?" I ask in alarm.

"You clearly don't respect me, so why bother I can get an apartment from one of my sisters." Rebecca counters with the same icy tone.

Shirley sees my heart crashing to the floor and she says "Um why don't you come in and explain what has happened."

Rebecca nods and walks in with her eyes down cast. "I think Chibodee is the one who should inform you right Mr. Crocket?"

I sigh and sit down saying, "Girls I've been talking to Rebecca about my thoughts about Rain you see I still had a thing for her."

Bunny asks, "Why couldn't you tell us Chib?"

I sigh and say, "Because I didn't want to hurt you girls. I was trying to avoid you getting any pain."

Janet nods and says, "I forgive you Chib."

Bunny nods and says, "Even though I wished you could've told us I forgive you too. How about you Shirley, don't you forgive him?"

Shirley sighs and says, "YOU'VE HARPED ON HOW WE SHOULD BE MORE HONEST WITH YOU! I SHOULD HATE YOU! But . . . I don't."

Cath punches me in the arm lightly saying, "You have to talk to us more."

I hug them and Rebecca just sits there quietly half smiling at this sight. I let them go and she says, "Well there's only one obstacle left for you."

She walks to the door I grab her wrist and say "Please don't go."

"You're healing nicely there's no reason for me to stay." Her voice didn't sound cold but teary. I groan and thought, 'WAY TO GO DUMB ASS YOU JUST SCARED OFF THE WOMAN THAT HELPED YOU!'

"Rebecca I'm sorry for hitting on you like I did. I know it was over the line."

I say putting all I had.

She says, "You only say this so you can see me and ridicule my skills."

I go to answer but part of the message is true I do want to see her. I wouldn't make fun of her skills, Hell she's the only one who helped me make sense what I was feeling in my head.

Shirley asks, "Do you hate Chib Rebecca?"

She looks at Shirley and says, "No but I'm hurt."

My girls look at her with sympathetic eyes and glare at me. Then Shirley asks, "Is it true you were trained for the Japanese Army?"

Rebecca gasps and asks, "How did you know?"

Bunny laughs nervously, and says, "Well we sort of read your file."

Cath smirks and asks, "Why not demonstrate the moves you know on Chib?"

"CATH THAT ISN'T NECESSARY!"

Bunny asks, "What is, the big bad Champion scared of losing to a woman."

"No I don't hit small girls." Suddenly I feel a sharp pain on my jaw; it was enough to bring the blood out. "DAMN THAT HURT!"

She says, "DON'T MAKE FUN OF MY HEIGHT!"

Shirley says, "Oh nice hit Rebecca."

Cath asks, "Willing to take the challenge, Champion Chibodee?"

I smirk say, "Alright I'll accept the challenge let's see what she learned in Japan. Even though I strongly feel a woman shouldn't know such skills."

Rebecca shot back "Knowing how to cook isn't exactly a manly thing either."

All my girls say, "OHHH SHE GOT YOU CHIB!"

I crack my knuckles and say "So you have a mouth let's see if you have the moves to match."

Rebecca laughs and says, "One of your fists is bigger than the other."

I smirk and say, "Well it's not like you're a professional you're just a woman."

"You going down Champion Chibodee a woman will teach r-e-s-p-e-c-t to you."Rebecca says in a determination.

"What is this 3rd grade spelling let's get down to business?"

We both got into my ring, I say, "I'll try not to hurt you too bad sweetheart, but this is a rough sport."

"JUST SHUT UP AND LET'S RUMBLE!" Rebecca demands.

'She has spitfire that is something I never guessed a small woman like her would have.' I go to hit her but she blocks my punch and lands a kick on my shin. It feels like a huge block of lead but I don't let it bother me. She slips a little and I get a half punch in. I go to attack again but she flips me over her back, does an uppercut with a blow to my stomach.

I gasp trying to catch my breath and she asks, "Had enough Champion Chibodee?"

I smirk and wipe the spit away, "Not a chance baby."

She rolls her eyes and I try to do a quick clothes line but she punches my arm away. I did pin her but I had no idea she knew how to get out of holds like that. I manage to land a weak blow to her ankle but she has such amazing balance. Even though she wobbles she uses that against me landing a kick directly in my gut I was knocked down but I punch her weak ankle and she only falls to her knees. I am out of breath and Rebecca jumps on my chest leaving me pinned, I am tired and couldn't get up. She wins this one but I will challenge her again.

Shirley, Bunny, Janet and Cath look in awe at Rebecca's skill in such a rough sport. What is even more shocking she helps me up and says, "Good match."

I just nod because the air that was punched out of my stomach. She gets a bag and says "Take nice slow breaths." I really feel bad about my comment about women she has more sportsmanship than all my opponents combined. She gets up but I had hit her weak ankle in the match. She goes to get up to get off the mat suddenly she falls and hits her head on a my 45 pound bar. My girls run to her aid, and I get my voice back. "REBECCA! OH GOD REBECCA NO!"

Well it was sort of funny but I add drama in it. It's just my way of writing I like making turns the one thing I hate is predictability. I want to bend your mind cause you to go more into the text. Ok I better hush I sound like an English teacher I know it's sudden to update but oh well.
