Chapter 7
ALEX
“Recently I feel like I need to make an appointment to see you,” Luke says as he places the hot cocoa with marshmallows before Amber together with her chocolate chip cookies, “You are so busy with school stuff that I hardly see you in or out of school,” he adds looking at his girlfriend.
At last Amber managed have time to go out with Luke, they were in Artcaffe a coffee shop ten blocks from school. Luke had asked Matthew permission to take Amber home since he rarely saw her.
“I’m sorry Luke, things have been demanding in school, especially with the homecoming dance around the corner,” Amber apologizes, she truly felt bad for ghosting her boyfriend who had been a big help during her election campaigns. Luke had been with her in every step of the way.
“It’s ok babe. I kinda understand.”
“I love you Luke.”
“I total forgive you Amber,” Luke says and leans forward to capture his girlfriend’s lips with his. Luke tasted off coffee as his chapped lips moved slowly taking time to run his tongue on her bottom lips. Getting uncomfortable Amber slightly pushed Luke to seat down and hid her face in embarrassment. It isn’t like Amber did not like kissing Luke she did but not in areas where people could openly see them.
The bell rings as new customers enter and Amber is able to focus on her drink. Luke smiles at Amber and drinks his coffee the silence comfortable for the two. Amber feels happy and content in the moment, she truly needed this. Just relax and not worry about anything.
“What the f**k b***h! Look at what you did?” An angry voices cut through the enter café due to a small collusion between two girls and a muscular looking guy with a ponytail. Amber looks at the three and things seem to be going roughly.
“What did you call me?”
“Hey look man we are sorry” both of the women say at same time but the angry man isn’t having any of it.
“Shut the f**k up, you ruined my new shirt. It’s Louis Vutton if you can’t see b***h and my phone oh god!” the man barks shoving the girl who was standing in front of him, “you are so f*****g dead you little cu…” The guy doesn’t get to finish his insults as he lands on the ground with a thud.
“What did you say shitface? What!! I can’t hear you over the sound of you moaning on the floor like a b***h,” the tall girl that punched her says.
“Alex stop! Stop!” the second woman shouts holding her back by her shoulder blade but tall girl brushes her off and straddles the man’s hip and starts delivering blow after blow.
Seconds pass before she is dragged from the unconscious guy, “Yeah that’s what I thought you can’t talk with all that f*****g blood in your mouth!!” She shouts and tries to kick the guy.
Amber is too perplexed by scene unfolding before her that she barely notices Luke had gotten up to help get hold of the girl. She could not believe a not so muscular woman just beat a guy up looking at the muscular man he seemed unconscious, almost dead.
Amber’s gaze moves from the unconscious man to the woman who seemed to have calmed down to meet her eye to eye. Her stare stormy as the vibrant green eyes look at hers. The woman seems shocked after staring at her, did they know each other? Her eyes wavering as they become panic stricken as she cuts her eye contact and struggles out of Luke’s and another stranger’s hold and forcefully grabs her friends hand, maybe her girlfriend before dragging her out.
The café manager tries to stop them but angry girl pushes right through him and out of the building. Amber’s eyes follow the duo through the clear glass wall till they get to a black BMW and hurriedly pull out of the parking lot.
“That was crazy!” Luke says plopping down on his seat before Amber, “that girl was just wow.”
“What? Wow!” Amber asks in disbelief, “She just beat up that guy Luke.”
“That guy totally deserved it, he was being a jerk Amber, I mean you saw how rude she was to the two ladies?”
“True but still Luke look at the man,” Amber says pointing at the man who being helped into a stretcher by EMT guys. Did he know that waking up this morning he’s end up being admitted in the hospital later that evening.
“Man she had a mean right hook, totally dropped the guy with a punch,” he says animatedly trying to imitate her “Like superwoman. Bam!!!”
“You know I hate violence Luke,” Amber says with a finality in her voice, just as her mother said violence was never an answer no matter what. As she watched the girl beat up the guy she still believed they could have been an alternative answer other than punching him unconscious.
Amber felt her appetite wane as they get their school stuff to head out, Luke would not stop gushing about how ‘awesome’ ‘cool’ the violent guy was and she deep down knew the man kinda deserved it. Well not being beaten black and blue but maybe he did deserve just one punch.
How hypocritical Amber thought, smiling at her weird train of thought.

It had been three weeks since that little stunt I pulled but at least almost five minutes since I laid my eyes on her in that café. My evening was completely ruined by those lards of turd
Aisha was seething mad in the passenger seat, “What the actual f**k is wrong with you?” she asks in a low dangerous voice, “Are you freaking insane! You just hospitalized that guy.”
“Mm?”
“Is that all you are going to say for your stupid actions!”
“Why are you defending him Aisha?!” I inquire getting sick and tired off her bitching about. I make an abrupt turn heading back to Shay’s my coffee and croissant craving vanishing completely, “He was being a Jerk, he deserved it and maybe a lot more.”
“Still that one punch was enough but oh macho Alex had to show him whose boss,” she says in a mocking voice.
“If you care so much about that asshole I could drop you at the hospital so you go visit him,” I say, “Or maybe since I’m so macho I’ll could put in there with him.”
“You wouldn’t dare!”
“I think you know I would.”
Aisha snickers at her rudely crossing her arms angrily, Alex takes the silence as a welcome as her mind races back to her. Amber Hermione Aldrich. Her biggest flying solo mistake that was costing her friendship with Jake.
Alex had managed to get back to her normal routine, doing her dad’s bidding. Proving to him every day, trying to secretly make up to Jake. Her father was a drug cartel and was now expanding into the firearm arena.
Mr. Tyler S. Lenaolars was a well-respected and also an equally feared man in Los Angeles, California. He was the owner of one the biggest insurance companies, the Mediterranean Insurance Company. He used his insurance companies as a business font, a cover up for his other extracurricular activities.
Alex looked up to her father. He had built his empire from the ground. She was so proud of him and what he did, that’s why she’d go out of her way to do tasks impeccably whatever her father asked off her. Mr. Lenaolars conducted his businesses with finesse and top notch discretion.
Only a few trusted people knew of what his ‘business’ and how he became so wealthy. His three trusted business partners and a handful of friends and his only[HZ1] child. He went by an alias hence it was hard to link him to any criminal activities in the city. Numerous detectives had tried through and through but Mr. Lenaolars always came out clean and unscathed.
It was a relief for Alexandra that Jake never talked of the incident. Which was good for Alex. Not talking about it would make the entire mistake go away yet seeing Amber again, today, made that day a vivid memory in her mind. She tried ignoring the issue it till it faded into oblivion but alas the technic was not working.
Amber Hermione Aldrich had been engraved into her mind since then. She couldn’t stop thinking of her. She felt like a broken record playing on loop which was getting infuriating.
Amber Hermione what has thou done onto me, she thought to herself bitterly
Amber was slowly creeping into her every thought. That little blonde had done something to Alex and she had to find out what. For a person whom Alex was with for a few hours Amber was causing her mayhem and she hated all of it and her.
Alexandra had to do something about this and fast. Her path to dealing with this glitch in her mind was already set. In a weeks’ time she would slay her demons and make them pay for torturing her this bad. Amber Hermione Aldrich you better be ready because I’m coming for you.
Alex smiled widely grinning at what she’d do to her, all the opp…
“What the f**k are you smiling about?” Aisha asks feeling annoyed with her friend, “You are a freaking psychopath.”
“Rule no 1 you should never tell a psychopath they’re a psychopath,” I say in a low petrifying voice. Aisha rolls her eyes before scoffing at me.
“Eat my d**k!” she says and opens her side door before she gets out she looks me dead in the eye, “and go f**k yourself Lexa.”
I laugh at her response and turn off the car before following her into the club, “Come on Aisha, you don’t even know the guy.”
“You still think it’s about that rude stranger,” she yells over music “It’s about you not getting arrested dumbass.”
“Oh”
“You could be in jail for assault.”
“But he provoked me?”
“Still Alex you know better. You cannot run shay’s while inside of a jail cell.”
“True, OK I’m sorry. Let me buy you a drink.”
“All night long baby.”
“Anything for you Aisha.”
