I called the paramedics who rushed to the ring, they started checking their conditions. They managed to stop the bleeding of John's mouth and took him out of the ring; they also gave him a light pain relief medication and asked him to rest until he becomes able to stand on his own.
I was by Shawn's side, the female paramedic was checking his vital signs, his breathing was unsteady and rough, she started giving him CPR to stimulate his respiration. After a few mouth-to-mouth breathing, Shawn started breathing normally again. He coughed several times before finally getting up, he looked angry as he stared at my face.
" You deserve it." I started.
" Heartless..." he uttered.
I helped him up leading him to the dressing room where John was also resting. John laughed as soon as he spotted Shawn; he stood up and grabbed Shawn by the collar.
" I did not know that fighting with you would be that much fun, you are a fine man, kid," he said.
John's true passion in life is fighting, a good man for him has another definition.
" You were quite professional yourself, honestly, I didn't expect you to be this good," Shawn replied.
" I am hungry, let's go eat, man," Shawn added.
" Cool," John agreed.
I was surprised by Shawn's change in attitude, I may have speculated that John would act this way but what is seriously wrong with Shawn? Tony shared my surprise; he was creeped out by their behavior as well.
" They are certainly abnormal," he whispered to my ears.
" I agree,"
Shawn drove us to the nearest restaurant, we stepped out of the car, I begged Tony to come with me as I did not want him to go back home after he was told hurtful words, I wanted to make him feel better.
" It is on me," Shawn started.
" It should,"
I was still a bit angry with him, to be honest, we all gathered around the table, the restaurant was not classy but its food was good.
“ Are you angry because I was kissed by that female paramedic? Do not worry, I still love you.” He teased me.
“ In your dreams…” I replied slightly embarrassed since John and Tony were blatantly staring at us.
" I am sorry, Tony. I bet I went berserk because I was jealous. I didn't mean to say what I said." Shawn argued.
" What were you jealous of?" I asked confused by his weird statement.
" You didn't give me your response Lily, instead you went out to probably talk about me with some guys I don't know. I didn't feel good about it." he honestly stated.
" You are a fine man, indeed. Lily did choose the right guy." John commented.
" Johnn..." I stated while raising my voice tone in disagreement.
" It's okay, I wasn't offended anyway," Tony argued.
" Good, if you are Lily's friends then allow me to be yours too."
Why is he talking sweetly after he has already given him a first bad impression, maybe John won't remember it but Tony definitely would.
" I don't mind befriending a rich dude," Tony replied which caused me to spew out the water I was drinking.
" So clumsy," Shawn said as he wiped my mouth with his handkerchief. My face turned red, I was happy he was caring for me. Why is he so damn sweet?
" What do you like bout Lily, Shawn?" Tony asked backing me up, he wanted to get some information out of him for me to use.
" Love isn't about what I like... I feel love towards her and I have no specific reason for that."
