73: CRAZY CONFLICTS
ARIEL’S POV
Giaring at the both of us, Luke stormed in our direction, his fists clenched tightly and his face red with anger. But I still needed to know where he came from. Because it was like he just appeared right here.
“Take it easy, man; it’s not what you think,” Daniel tried explaining as Luke got closer. The next thing he received was a punch in the face. It caused Daniel to shift backwards.
“How dare you try to get your dirty self on my wife?!” Luke seized Daniel’s shirt and gave him another punch.
“Luke! What the hell is wrong with you?!” I shrieked. I moved nearer, trying to break Luke’s grip on Daniel.
He pushed me away, blinded by his jealousy or whatever was going on in his head. I almost fell down, but I kept my balance.
Luke wanted to deliver another punch, but Daniel was quick to seize his hand. Daniel struck Luke on the face vigorously.
Daniel hooked Luke and threw him to the ground. I could hear the sound of Luke landing, and I have to say,
it was really painful.
Luke was about to get to his feet, but Daniel punched him hard in the face. However, Luke struck back at Daniel and gave him back-to-back punches.
Their brawl went on for minutes, with blood covering both of their faces. I tried yelling some senses into their heads, but their anger had blinded their eyes and clogged their ears.
I spotted some cops passing by, and I had to run in their direction.
“I need your help, please,” I told them.
“What’s going on down there?” One of the cops asked, watching Daniel and Luke brawl with themselves.
“Yeah, I need help with that.” I gestured toward them.
The cops swiftly advanced toward the two infuriated men, and they had to separate the both
of them.
“Will the two stop it?!” One of the policemen barked, getting in between Daniel and Luke. Why do you guys have to behave like children?”
“He started this shit!” Daniel snapped, trying to catch his breath. His face was covered in blood, and so was Luke.
“He was trying to take advantage of my wife!” Luke snarled.
“That’s a lie!” Daniel shrieked in return.
“Okay, that’s enough!” The cop silenced them. “I don’t want to see this nonsense anymore. If this repeats itself next time, I’ll have no option but to make sure the two of you spend the night in jail. Is that understood?”
“Do you have any idea who you’re talking to?” Luke asked the cop in a proud tone.
“Luke Reynold,” the cop answered, crossing his arms. “Yeah, I’ve heard about you. You think you’re some sort of big shot?”
Luke glared at him. “You do not want to be messing with me.’
“Are you threatening me?” The cop asked slowly.
“Let’s just say this is a warning.” Luke’s glare compounded.
The cop chuckled. “I’m sorry, sir. But you’re not above the law. And if I were you, I’d go get my
face cleaned up.”
The policemen all walked away after that. Luke and Daniel exchanged dark looks promptly. Daniel stormed off after that.
Luke turned to me. “I hope you’re happy now.”
“You hope I’m happy? Luke, you were the one who went ahead to do some crazy shit. You didn’t even bother to know what happened. You just came and strated acting like the mighty Hulk Hogan.”
