“I want to know what makes you so special.”
“To be chained to a bed? I hardly think that’s special,” I tell her.
“Oh, when it comes to Tarek, it is. He’s closed off. No one gets in.”
“And why do you think I’m the special one?”
“I don’t. I don’t think you’re special at all,” she snaps at me. The thought of hitting her in the face crosses my mind, but this isn’t my place. However, it may be my way out of here sooner. I curl my hand into a fist and pull back before slamming it into her face. She screams and stumbles back, and then there’s a swarm of people around us. Some rush to her side while others stand at mine.
“What the hell is this?” The tall man asks. I read his cut, and it says Ridge.
“She started it,” I tell him.
“And?”
“And I finished it,” I tell him.
“What the hell, Pierson?” Tarek exclaims. He’s now standing before me with a strange look on his face.
“What?”
“What the hell do you think you’re doin’?”
“She wanted to start shit with me, so I ended it. You told me to get better. Well, this is me, getting better.”
“It made you feel better to hit Ginger?”
“Actually, yes, it did,” I reply, deep breathing. Maybe all I needed was to hit someone. It sure as hell did feel good.
“You’re fuckin’ insane,” he grumbles under his breath, but I see the hint of a smile on his face.
“Go clean her up,” Ridge orders one of the other girls. They look at me like I’m crazy before walking her in the opposite direction.
“You can’t go around puttin’ hands on our girls,” Ridge warns.
“She was starting a fight with me.”
“What did she say?” Tarek asks.
“She wanted to know what made me so special that you’d chain me up in your room.”
“This is all on you, brother,” Ridge laughs.
“It’s none of Ginger’s business why I do what I do,” Tarek adds.
“No, it’s not. But you can’t have your girl goin’ around fightin’ the club girls either,” Ridge tells him.
“I’m standing right here.”
“And you seem to be feelin’ better,” Ridge says.
“That actually made me feel a lot better.”
“Are you always this scrappy?” Ridge asks.
“When I need to be.”
“I like her,” he adds, making me smile.
