"Why does everyone have to stare?" I whispered as he placed me into a chair.
"Fuck them let them stare" He growled
"It just annoys me I mean we're just getting some food".
"It's the cut baby but don't let it annoy you" Kissing the side of my head he walked away to place our order.
Were we always going to get stared at wherever we went?
"Excuse me?"
Looking up I locked eyes with a pair of brown ones. "Can I help you?" I asked really not in the mood to talk to strangers.
"Do you need help?" He whispered looking at me and then looking at where Blaze stood in the queue.
Are you fucking kidding me!!
"No" I snapped causing him to take a step back whilst holding up both hands. "Does it look like I need help?".
"If he's holding you-.."
"Okay you need to shut the hell up and go back to what you were doing" I yelled catching the attention of the others in the restaurant. "What gives you the right to come up to me and ask me if I need help?".
"I-I'm sorry I just-.." Watching him swallow he glanced ahead of him "Please tell him not to kill me". He pleaded
What the hell?
Catching what he was looking at my mouth fell open a little. Blaze was storming towards the table hands balled into fists looking like he was ready to murder someone.
"Who the fuck are you?" He sneered looking him up and down "Are you upsetting my girl?".
This wasn't going to go down well.
"N-no I-."
"Then piss off before I break your nose" He growled straightening his shoulders and cracking his knuckles.
"Blaze it's okay" I said as the stranger quickly turned on his heels and left.
"Little pricks fucking lucky you were sat there. What did he say to you?" He snapped and I know it wasn't at me. I get why he was angry I was pissed as well.
"Let's just get our food and go please" I begged.
Why do people think it's okay to get all up in other people's business? And why do they always assume Blaze is a bad person or that I'm being held against my will?
Once we were back in the car I didn't open my mouth until he had started driving. "All I wanted was a burger" I sighed leaning my head against the window.
"Eat yours the now Ava because it won't be hot by the time we get back" He muttered sounding really pissed off.
"How about we just park up somewhere and we can both eat while it's still hot" I suggested
"Just eat your burger Ava".
"I get that you're pissed off Blaze but don't take it out on me" I snapped. If he wasn't going to eat his then I wasn't going to eat mine. Childish I know but I was one stubborn bitch when I wanted to be.
"Not taking it out on you sweets I just hate people like that. He doesn't know anything about us yet just like everyone else he fucking judged us and jumped to conclusions"
"Never took you for someone that cares about what other people think" I said taking his hand in mine. "I don't mind eating a cold burger just keep driving so we can get back".
Hitting the brakes hard the car screeched a long the road causing me to fall forward in my seat. "Are you trying to fucking kill me" I roared gripping onto my seat belt for dear life. "In case you forgot I've just been in a car accident. Why would you do that" I cried repeatedly hitting him with my good hand.
Was he out of his mind?
"I don't give a shit about what other people think of me its you I care about" He yelled gripping a hold of my wrist to stop me from hitting him.
Breathing fast and rapid I counted to ten in my head trying to calm myself down. My full body was shaking and I wanted to get out the car.
"I don't care" I cried pulling my arm out of his grip. "Why would you do that? I was trapped in that car for hours Blaze. You had no idea what I went through and you go do something like that. What if you had crashed?".
"We didn't calm down" He said starting the car again and began to drive along the road like nothing had happened. Chewing my lip I turned my head so I didn't have to look at him.
.....
"It's been 45 minutes" He sighed placing his hand on my knee.
My eyes were shut so I was hoping he would think I was sleeping. I didn't want to talk with him right now I was still pissed and if we spoke I knew it would end with us foaming at the mouth in a heated argument.
"I was out of line sweets and I should never have done that. Heck I was so fucking stupid and I wasn't thinking. That's the problem with me Ava I don't think most of the time and that's what fucks everything up".
Opening my eyes I turned my head to look at him. "You scared me back there Blaze and maybe you don't think most of the time but that was a shitty thing to do. What would you have done if we had crashed? How would you have felt? Don't you think I've got enough broken bones?" I asked as I started recognising where we were.
