Chapter 87: Damn Enchantress
Lucky POV
"Hey Brain where you at brother?"
"Up in security going over some stuff with Flame, Albert and a suit. What's up?" He asks.
He's pissing me off.
"Are you going to stay up there all night, you know she's here right?"
"Yeah I seen them on the screen. Why do you keep giving her death daggers what's going on?"
"I don't like lying and I don't like keeping secrets from my best friend it's really getting to me you need to decide what you're doing and do it quick"
I say firmly.
"I know I just need some more time"
"You've had some time. Fine, I'll give you a few more days but I don't like this brother" I say before I hang up.
Shit! Here comes Pickle to yell or punch me again.
I try to turn and head out to the floor before he reaches me.
"Lucky, don't you dare!" he yells across the room.
"Wouldn't dream of it brother" I say stopping and turning to face him.
"Did you apologize?" He asks.
He looks kinda worn down.
I notice him glancing back over to where River and her boyfriend are.
"Yes, I did. Did she not tell you?"
"I haven't asked her yet that's why I'm asking you brother" he says
I figured she would have ran right to him or Finn and told them what I said.
I look where he's looking and my blood boils.
I look at Pickle and he just looks at them both with a look I don't recognize on his face.
It's definitely not anger or rage like I feel.
"How does that not piss you off?" I spit out angerly.
"What?" He says smiling as he looks at me confused.
"That! How does that not piss you off?" I've seen him get mad at less, I don't understand what he's thinking.
"Why would it? Look how happy she is" he beams like a proud boyfriend.
I huff angrily,
"Because there's obviously something between you two and she's standing over there kissing another man in front of you" I look at him and he's smiling.
"She's over there happily kissing the man that loves her and makes her that happy, I would never deny her happiness" he sounds like a complete idiot right now.
I've never seen him look at a girl like that or be this patient with anybody talking or touching something that obviously belongs to him.
"So you're okay just sharing her? Is that what this is?" I'm getting angerier by the minute.
"It's not like that Lucky, you wouldn't understand"
"No I don't understand I've seen you beat a guy up for just looking at your girl before!" I spit out at him.
"Lucky, she's not only mine. She's Finn's girl and anything else is between me, Finn and River so you need to let it go and quit giving her a hard time for things you don't understand!"
"You're damn right I don't understand! I've known you for 7 years and I've never known you to share anything"
He turns and looks at me. He's getting pissed now.
"We've shared before, we've shared plenty of women brother" he smiles back at River when she looks at us.
"That was completely different and you know it. You've never looked at any of those women the way you look at her. To be honest I've never seen you look at any woman the way you look at her"
"You're right it's not the same, and I've never felt the way I feel about her with anybody in my entire life. So again brother I'm asking you go easy on her. There's things here that you don't understand, hell there's things here that none of us understand" he turns away from her and looks at me.
"Lucky please just butt out on this one. I know your trying to protect me but me and Finn have a understanding and our number one goal is to keep a smile on that girl's face and to keep her protected. Everything else we'll figure out together the three of us. I love you and I love that you want to protect me and the way you do that right now is to please have understanding and help me keep her safe. Can you do that for me brother?"
"Fine! Whatever man. I'm here for anything you need"
I hate this for him, he's going to get hurt by this girl and this whole situation.
"Lucky you don't understand what she's been through, it's bad. Like the worst things you can imagine a young girl going through bad and I know you understand cuz we've both been there ourselves. Just cut her some slack is all I'm asking she doesn't deserve whatever this is" he says motioning to me.
"Fine!"
He looks at me questioningly.
"Yes okay, I'll try and back off" I sigh out.
He reaches over and bro hugs me.
"Okay let's get out there and kick some ass. Oh hey have you seen Brain? I really want him to meet River"
Oh shit. God I hate lying to him.
"I haven't brother, if I do I'll let him know" I say running my hand through my hair.
"Thanks" He says as he locks eyes with her and starts walking towards her group.
I watch as he walks over and picks her up in a quick hug, as he puts her down he kisses her head.
He then quickly shakes hands with the taller guy Lincoln I think that's his name.
Then he fists bumps Finn and hugs the cute redhead.
I watch as they are all laughing and talking to each other.
I watch as Finn reaches up and tucks her hair back behind her ear and caress her face.
Pickle gently takes her hand and holds it for a minute.
Then both men smile at her then each other.
I'm breathing heavily watching as I'm getting heated and my fists are clinch together.
Why am I the one who's jealous and pissed?
This is some bullshit!
"Damn enchantress" I mumble out as I turn and walk away ready to go beat some poor guys ass, to get out all this aggression and anger I feel out.
