Chapter – 13

Hi 😇 sorry for the delay

The whole place was silent, not a single person dared to make a sound. Pearls of sweat slid down my face travelling down my chin as they silently fell on to the tiled floor, even the drop was not enough to break the heavy silence. I waited for something to happen as the silence was suffocating, by now I even held my breath unconsciously not wanting to be the first one to break the silence

The same could be be said for ed

He calmly walked towards where those people stood; opposite to us. His movements screamed dominance

My heart dropped as I tried to stop him but he was stronger and bigger than me, he easily slipped past my hold; as if a child had held him and not a grown man

I prayed; as my eyes traveling between ed and the mafia as the distance decreased, my mind screamed in my head for ed should not be reckless and think for once but I knew that was not going happen, it was after all ed

He stepped forward, keeping his stance; that of a fighter, legs split apart and talked

The words which left his mouth had every bad guy in the room laughing

From the group of men to the right, one man talked as he tried to suppress his laughter

"Hey, say it again" and continued to laugh not taking him seriously

"I said get your sorry asses out of here and never come back" ed repeated, not getting the joke. I wanted to face palm myself but held it

Ed can be unreasonable sometimes but that's what make him, him, unique

The hall echoed with laughter as the bad guys had their fun but it all stopped as we all heard a band making me flinch in surprise

The bad guys moved back a bit enjoying the view as they tried to hold in their laughter, but failing at it

Their leader, Kevin, stood calmly, no expression what so ever present on his face as he stood a distance away from ed

I again held my breath as I feared ed's life. Not that I doubted ed, but against so many anyone can doubt one's strength

There was something about that man; Kevin which gave me the chills, something about him screams leather and I did not what to even find out

But ed had other idea

As they both stared at each other eddy walked towards ed passing Kevin, eddy ran his fingers lightly on Kevin's arm and leaned a bit to whisper something in his ear, even with the auditorium being quite we could not hear the words being exchanged between them, whatever it was that glint in eddy's eyes was not good

Kevin smirked as his onyx eyes fell on me making me shiver from fear my body wanted - no - tried to move back but the act was met with resistance, turning back to see what the cause was; our side were pressed against each other wanting some comfort, some sense of security from all this madness, believing all this to be a dream, I could even spot many head bowed down not wanting to see what they wanted. My mind begged me to do the same but when my eyes met those of my students, I forced my heart and mind to be strong and faced forward even as the leader kevin's eyes bore at me

Kevin turned towards eddy, nodding his head once and sat as a chair was placed behind him by one of his lackeys

Eddy grinned making him look like a hawk as he turned towards ed and said while pointing his well-manicured nails

"Ok, we will leave if you say so" he started and relief flooded the place, as whispers echoed the place "but" eddy's voice bought attention to him again "only if you win" he finished smirking as he licked his finger, a light moan was heard but no one paid any attention to that

This confused everyone, whispers of what it could mean spread among the students, ed finally spoke up breaking our curious whispers

"Win in what" he asked as he steeled his eyes; glaring at eddy

Eddy smiled playfully but quickly changed his act, acting almost innocent and said "oh obviously in fighting" while twirling a piece of hair between his fingers

Ed face split into a grin for a bit and I knew what was going on in his mind

Ed is a pro at fighting since young he had gotten into many fights and won, he even had a coach who coached him, so it's safe to say he can beat anyone's ass

Ed nodded "let's do it"

Eddy giggled as he clapped his hand together as if admiring someone who they love

"Splendid"

Before eddy could utter a word ed spoke up

"So who will I be fighting?"

He stripped his shirt showing the build underneath, ripped muscles decorated his torso, not too ripped to make him look bad but enough to show strength, a scar ran down his shoulder across his back which was a result from an accident, his body cover in a thin layer of sweat making his muscle stand out more; releasing an aura of menace

The moment the shirt was off eddy's eyes never left ed's body he just kept on staring having no shame what so ever

Ed looked at him confused but spoke again

"Who will I be fighting?"

Eddy snapped out of his staring and smiled making him look like an angel

"Who, oh you will be fighting, drum roll" he screamed as the subordinate mimicked drumming; creating odd sounds "me" he grinned as his hands took place on his hips
