Chapter 51: Am I Really Getting Married

Karas POV

After he proposed to me, he left the room. I knew that he had things to do. I sat down on the bed and stared at the ring. It was a beautiful ring. I could not believe that I had said yes to marrying him. That was a lot for me to admit to. I never thought that I would marry him. Since meeting him, he has gotten me into nothing but trouble. I came here to finish college and live a life. However, now I was wrapped up in underground fighting and getting the shit kicked out of me. The pain medicine that he gave me was starting to kick in and was making me exhausted. He had helped me change into a T-shirt and a pair of shorts. I lay down on the bed, and I was asleep in a matter of minutes. When I woke up sometime later, David was sitting on the edge of the bed.

He was getting ready to take a shower. I lay there and pretended to be asleep. I heard him turn on the shower, then waited for him to finish. He came out a little while later. He put on his shorts, then crawled into bed with me. I rolled over and put my head on his chest so we could cuddle. I loved how he smelled when he just got out of the shower. His body wash smelled so good. I lay on his chest listening to his heart beat. It was so relaxing and comforting. As I listened to his heartbeat, it was luring me into sleep. I was still sore; however, I was kind of horny as well. I wanted to make love to him, but I knew he would not go for that. I fell asleep some time later. It felt like we had not been asleep for long when there was a knock on the door. David got up and answered it. I heard some whispering, then David went back to bed.

" I have to go."

Where did he have to go? What was going on?

" Where do you have to go?"

" I have some business to handle."

What kind of business does he have to deal with at this time of night? Was he going to fight again without telling me?

" David, please do not lie to me."

" Babe, I need to go talk to the council about the fights."

That was something I did not want to hear. Why would they want to talk to him? Was it because of the fight he had? I was so confused and worried that I was about to lose it. I started shaking again.

" Baby its ok."

" They want to see what is going on with Whittney and her boyfriend."

I knew that I was probably going to regret asking him if I could go with him.

" Can I go with you?"

"Yes, you can."

I was shocked that he did not try to talk to me about it or order me to stay in bed. He turned towards the door and asked the man who was there to give us a few minutes. The guy nodded his head and left the room. I had no idea what would happen when we went back to the garage. I knew that if they were coming in the middle of the night to talk to David, it was not good. I wanted to tell him, " Let's not go, but I knew that was not going to happen. I slowly climbed out of bed and went and got dressed. I still had bruises from Whitney fighting me. I did try my best to fight her off. I threw on a pair of sweatpants and a sweatshirt. I looked in the mirror, and it was a sweatshirt from the dojo. I thought it was cool.

He put on a pair of pants and a T-shirt. We then slowly walked down the stairs and went to the car. David opened my door for me. I climbed in, then he climbed in. Marcus then pulled out of the driveway. We headed for the garage. I was not OK with going to the garage. When we arrived, two men opened our doors. We got out and then walked to the makeshift office. David then looked at the men at the table.

" Good evening, gentlemen."

" What is going on?"

" Have her wait outside with Marcus."

I did not want to leave him alone with them.

" Marcus, please take her home, and I will be there after the meeting. "

" Yes, sir."

As Marcus and I walked to the car, I turned around to see what was happening, only to find the door closed. I slowly climbed into the car.

" He will be alright."

" Whenever there is an incident outside the fight club, there is a meeting."

That was reassuring. It wasn't like a sanctioned fight where you were watching on TV or anything. So what kind of punishment was there for people? I had questions running through my mind. But they would not be answered until later, when David got home. I knew that he would answer my questions. Even if he did not want to be honest with me, I would make him be honest. My whole life has been turned upside down because of this man. Even he was sexy and great in bed. He has turned my life upside down. I should have run the first day I meant him. Now I was questioning whether I should marry him. I looked down at the ring on my finger and started to twirl it around on my finger.

Even if he saved me that day. I was now training in karate. I was also supposed to fight in an underground fight. I was not ready for that, and Whitney was severely injured. She was supposed to be my opponent. They may enjoy getting beaten up on purpose. I started taking karate lessons to defend myself and to help me exercise. I never intended to compete in anything. I knew that the dojo had tournaments and such. When we got back to the house, we slowly walked in. I then climbed the stairs back to our room. I did not even bother to change. I lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling, waiting for David to get back.
