GoodReadLevi didn't even have time to brace himself before a barrage of punches rained down on him! Karen tried to pull Jeffrey away, but she might as well have been a leaf trying to stop a hurricane.
Jeffrey was like a man possessed! The commotion was so loud that even his buddies at the nearby steakhouse heard the ruckus and came running out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut their first instinct was to break it up! “Jeffrey, what the heck is going on? Stop it, man!” “Chill out, bro!” But it was like trying to hold back a bull; a bunch of grown men couldn't stop a raging Jeffrey.
It was only when Karen shouted, “I'm calling Dorothy and getting Everett here!” that Jeffrey finally paused.
Karen rushed forward to Levi, who was looking like he'd gone ten rounds with a heavyweight, and dialed 911.
Jeffrey gave them a glance, then pulled out a card from his pocket and tossed it over, “I caused this so I'll cover it.” Karen was seething at his rich-boy act! Thus, after calling for an ambulance, she grabbed her phone to report the fight to the police.
But before she could finish, her phone was snatched.
Looking up, there was Jeffrey again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Weston, take him to the hospital. I'll handle this.” “You got it, Mr. Turner!” Before she could grasp his intentions, Jeffrey had scooped her up from the ground and was carrying her fireman-style! “Jeffrey, put me the hell down!” “Why? So you can go to the hospital, play the caring girlfriend, then get a room to ‘talk’?” Karen thrashed and fought, clawing and biting at him, but he neither dodged nor released her.
“You really think | won't call—" “I know, but your phone’s with me.” Karen seethed her teeth.
“Tomorrow, when Dorothy and Everett have cooled off, I'll explain!” Jeffrey tapped his cheek with his tongue. “Tonight, you'd better play nice because I'm not in the mood!” He'd left the diner at noon in a foul mood, and his friends had to drag him out for some grub, insisting he needed the company.
They chose a casual spot over a bar, so Jeffrey agreed.
But who'd have guessed? He ran into Karen there! Jeffrey never believed in fate, but after bumping into Karen twice in one day, he started to think maybe they were meant to be.
Seeing she had no leverage, Karen gritted her teeth, “Can you at least put me down? You've hurt Levi bad; | need to see him at the hospital! Our parents know each other!” “I told you that Weston’s got it.” “Jeffrey!” “I know my punches. He'll live.” Karen, furious, bit down hard on Jeffrey’s shoulder. That made him wince, but his grip didn’t falter.
“Keep biting. Maybe you'll take a chunk out of me!” Karen was at a loss with Jeffrey. She dreaded the consequences. How would she face Levi's parents tomorrow? But Jeffrey just looked down at her, who was trapped in his arms, and asked in a deep voice, “So, how serious were you two anyway?”
