11 CRAZY CONVOS
LUKE’S POV
This goddamn robber turned around, and the look I gave him was way out of this world. You could call it a death stare, and if looks could kill, I was pretty sure this guy would have been dead by now.
There was no doubt that I didn’t like Ariel, but what he did hack there really displeased me. I didn’t know, but I couldn’t just stand- and watch her in pain.
“What did you just say?” The robber asked as the both of us eventually stood up. “I can see you have some fucking nerve, huh?”
“If you want money, I’ll give you money, but don’t you dare touch her,” I told him, calm and threatening at the same time. I narrowed my eyes down to Ariel, and she just gazed at me in confusion. I know she must be wondering why I was helping her out, and I roo was wondering the same thing.
The robber laughed in disbelief. “You know I can shoot you right now, don’t you?”
You think I’m scared of dying?” I came back. “I’ve had a lot to lose all these years. Don’t think that I value my life that much.”
“Oh, so you want me to kill you?”
“I don’t wish for that, but if you want to, go ahead. But let me just make something clear to you: don’t you dare touch her.”
“Why?” The robber glanced at Ariel and set his eyes back on me. Is she your wife?”
“You ask too many questions.” I generated a pungent smile as I arched an eyebrow. “Don’t you think it’s high time you shut up?”
His men pointed their guns at me immediately, but he lifted his hand up, signaling them to halt. They all took their guns down.
“Aren’t you scared of me?” The robber inquired.
“If I were scared of you, do you think I would be saying all these things right now? Or do you think I’d be standing on my feet while everyone is on their knees?
He laughed inwardly. “I like this boldness of yours.”
I don’t want you to.”
“You know I have a gun loaded with bullets.”
“I already made it clear to you that I’m not scared. So to hell with you
and your weapon.”
“Oh, that does it!” He snarled and pointed his gun at me. Tm sending you straight to hell! Tell the devil 1
“I don’t think that’s going to be necessary.” I gave him the usual spurious smile.
“Why d
do you say so?” He asked. And with his tone, it was clear he was confused.
“I don’t know.” I shrugged. I just have the feeling that you’ll be the one paying the devil a visit.”
“He made a sound with his gun, like he was fully prepared to pull the trigger. “Oh, you son of a..
“Freeze!” The police showed up and began firing bullets at the robbers, leading to a shootout
hi.”
Taking advantage of the situation, I quickly punched the robber, who was standing close to me. I elbowed his belly, kneeled his balls, and snatched his gun from him.
The gun battle continued with screams from different individuals and people running out of the hall.
After throwing the gun away, I advanced towards Ariel and grabbed her hands. “Come on, let’s get out of here.”
“I can’t leave Andre here.” She tapped Andre to wake him up, but the man was still unconscious.
“Are you out of
your
mind? You could get killed.”

“It’s not like you care about me anyway, she muttered.
“Seriously?”
“Just leave me alone!” She pushed my hand away. “There is no way I’m following you.”
“You’d rather die?” I couldn’t help but feel concerned about her.
“If that’s the case, then so be it. But walking through that door with you? Not happening”
“Just kill this pride of yours and follow me.” I grabbed her hands again, and she struggled for me to let go, but my grip was too tight.
“Isaid let go!” She bawled. And then a bullet was fired in our direction. But we were lucky it hit neither of us, and the insensible guy
was lucky too.
See what I’m saying?” I gave Ariel a knowing look.
Tm still not following you.” She still decided to be stubborn.
I breathed out deeply. “Okay, that does it.” I got up and carried her promptly.
“Let me go!” She hit my back, but I held her tight, and that was how I carefully made my way out of the hall, carrying her on my
shoulder.
The moment we were outside, she bit my shoulder so hard that I had to let go of her.
“You scumbag!” She was about to hit me, but I captured her hand. She attempted to use the other hand to hit me as well, but it was still the same result. I was now holding both of her hands.
“Let me go!” Ariel snarled, humping to get her hands off mine, but I refused to let go.
“Just calm down, will you?” I held her tight while she continued to use all of her might so she could cease my grip. And the next thing that happened? She landed on my chest. I didn’t even know how, but I was quick to wrap my hands around her.
She finally ceased her bootless efforts, and the both of us are now looking into each other’s eyes. She was just as beautiful as he was five years ago. And yes, I was captivated by her glamour, ensnarled in her charm, and lost in her comeliness. Of course, she was one pretty lady, but there was no way I would lose my heart to her.
While the shootout continued, we didn’t take away the gaze from each other’s eyes. I didn’t know what was going on, but it seemed like something had taken full control of me.
Ariel slowly looked down at my arms, which were wrapped around her waist. She set her eyes back on me once more, and her expression looked like a sad one.
She placed her hands on my face as she shook her head in a slow manner. “It’s too late now,” she whispered.
I quickly let go of her. Too late for what?”
“I don’t have to say too much.” Ariel shifted backwards a little, her eyes looking down. “And although I don’t want to, I need to apologize.” She looked at me and sighed deeply. Tim sorry for what happened at the party.”
“Keep your apologies to yourself.” I told her in an unfriendly tone.
“What did you just say?” She gave me a look that said, ‘I couldn’t believe it. But it was good that she reminded me of what happened at the party. Now this spleen for her had dawned once again.
“I don’t have to repeat myself,” I crossed my arms. “You don’t have to act nice and all that. It’s just the two of us around here.”
“You want to know something?” She snapped. “You’re crazy, you’re unbelievable, you’re just so… I don’t even know the words to use!”
I did nothing but watch her as she continued, “One minute, you’re an annoying dirbag, and the other minute, you’re a superhero, being so nice and friendly.”
“Are
you done?” I asked with a deep
ep voice, my a
my arms were still crossed.
She closed her eyes, making a frustrated expression. “Oh, you’re about to make me go nuts. Just shut up!”
Don’t
you dare talk to him in that manner!” Someone chimed in, so I quickly turned around.
