“I said no!” I shove the plate back towards him so hard it drops out of Reid’s grasp. White powder flies up in a cloud around us, the majority of it covering my black shoes.
“You fucking bitch! Look what you did. It’s all wasted,” Reid exclaims. His eyes are red, and I know it’s not just from the red glow of the VIP section.
I see Brandon standing up in my peripheral vision right as Reid raises a hand to strike me.
CHAPTER 10
Brandon
Time stills as I push up from the plush seats and snatch Reid’s hand back before he touches Ava. I can’t think. I just react.
The idea of that pompous ass putting his hands on her has me seeing red.
It was bad enough watching him grind against her ass all night, but now he had the gall to hurt Ava?
Fuck that.
“Get your hands off me,” Reid exclaims.
“I don’t think so,” I say, holding onto his wrist. If I’m not careful, I’ll snap the bones. “You don’t put your fucking hands on her.Ever.”
“Who the fuck do you think you are?” Reid, says, trying to pull his hand back, but I have it in a tight grip. Ava takes a step back from us. She doesn’t need to do anything because I will not let him put another hand on her. Not one fucking hair will be disturbed on Ava.
“You need to leave. Now,” I say. There’s no way after all she’s been through that I’m gonna let this fucking Yank ruin her night any more than he already has.
“Fine,” Reid says. His face is red from what I can see in the strobe lights. His nostrils flare, and he’s breathing heavy, no doubt from all the substances he’s ingested tonight, making his ire worse.
I release Reid and begin turning toward Ava when he swings around and sucker punches me.
“Oh, my God, Brandon.”
I’m disoriented, but I see Ava taking a step towards me. “Ava, no!”
The last thing I need is for her to get hit when I swing back and punch Reid right in his lower jaw.
The younger man’s head turns, completely spinning his torso towards the sofas. His balance is so thrown off that he falls to the ground.
Now everyone is watching us while the music is still blaring. The heavy bass is fueling Reid to get up and come back at me. Reid regains his balance, and before he can get in another swing, security grabs him and me, pulling us toward the door.
“Out. Both of you,” the large security guard says, pulling Reid backwards toward the entrance. The one grabbing me by the arms is pushing me forward.
“Brandon.” I hear Ava shout my name, and I turn my head enough to see around the bigger guard’s shoulder and see she’s following us out.
Once we’re nearly tossed on our asses onto the sidewalk, other people waiting behind the velvet rope to get into the club stare at us.
“I don’t wanna see you two back here tonight. If I catch you around here again, I’m calling the fucking police,” the security guard holding my arms screams at us before returning to the club.
“Brandon, are you okay?” Ava asks.
I’m not.Grabbing her cold hands, I look into her eyes and see the worry in them. “I’m fine, Ava, really.”
I return to my full height and check her over, making sure she wasn’t hurt in the melee. But Ava looks as perfect as always.
“You stupid cunt!”
Reid is disoriented but able to pull himself back up. Clutching his jaw, he struggles to stand up straight. His blond hair is falling out of the slick-back style and is now hanging nearly over his eyes. “All you’ve become is a fucking tease. I am done with you, you fucking bitch.”
I start to release Ava’s arms, wanting to charge at Reid, but she grabs my forearms and stands in front of me. “Please ignore him. Let’s just go.”
