Jackson Drake
Louella pushed me feebly away from her. I stood up and I can still feel her glaring at me. Well, I can't blame her but she chose to mess with me and I am just giving her what she deserves.
I straightened my position and then I looked at her in her pitiful state. Even though she is still weak, she managed to make herself appear bold and unshaken, and I really admire her for that but I will not let her slip just because of that. She dared to mess with me and she has to face the consequences no matter what happens.
"Are you okay now?" I asked softly as I looked into her brown eyes.
'What the hell are you doing Drake?!' I chided myself innerly.
I was not supposed to ask that question. I should have just left her or threw her back into the pool. This is not freaking right! What the hell is wrong with me?
"Why do you care Drake?" She asked languidly.
"I- I am just want to-" She cut me off.
Louella tried to sit but she failed to do so. She should not have tried to do that. She is still clearly weak so why does she have to make herself believe that she is tough. What is wrong with this woman?
"So, you're concerned about me now?" She asked mockingly as she rolled her eyes at me.
This woman is unreasonable. Didn't she know that I rescued her? I freaking saved her life and she should thank me for that. She even raised her voice at me.
"It's not what you-" She cut me off again.
"Shut up Drake! You shouldn't have saved me. You want to make me suffer, right? This is what you want, right?! So-" I cut her off.
"Louella, can't you just let me finish talking?!" I snapped at her.
"Oh, fine! Explain everything to me, then." She said as she looked at me mockingly.
This woman is so unbelievable and annoying! Although I do not need to explain myself to her, I just want to make everything clear. If I did not saved her, then she will surely die and I will be labeled as a freaking murderer. Other than that, I will also be imprisoned for who knows how long when. I do not want either of those two to happen. I do not intend to kill her, I just want to make fun of her and that is all. That is what I am trying to say but she just won't let me finish talking.
"You know what?! You're right, I shouldn't have saved you! I should have just let you drowned! You're not that important anyway and I'm sure, everyone can live without you." I retorted as I looked into her brown eyes.
Her eyes widened in annoyance for a moment and then her gaze narrowed into a squint as she fisted his hands in dismay.
That is what she wants to hear from me and I just told her what she is expecting me to say and now, she is angry with me. I guess, no matter what I say, she will still get angry with me. I really can't understand this woman!
"What now?" I snapped at her as I raised my right eyebrow.
She frowned at me and a deep furrow formed in between her eyebrows. She let out a sigh of frustration before she replied.
"Then, why did you save me Drake?" She asked.
'Well, I can't answer that question either.' I said innerly and then I sighed before replying.
"I- because... I-" I stammered and she immediately cut me off again.
Well, I am glad that she cut me off because I honestly do not know what to say next.
"I am quite surprised to know that you still have a conscience. You don't want your conscience to bother you forever huh?" She stated as if she is challenging me.
Fine! If she does not want me to talk then I will not! I will just let her rant until she got tired.
I did not reply and I saw her stood feebly and all I did was look at her. She looked at me sternly before she spoke.
"Didn't you want to drown me, Drake? Didn't you want to kill me-"
I cut her off. How could she say those words to me? How could she accuse me of something that I never planned to do? She is really unreasonable and crazy! Well, how can I make her understand that I did not intend to drown or kill her?
"Will you stop talking nonsense Louella?! I was not planning to kill you! How could you accuse me that easily, you witch!" I snarled at her as I glared at her.
I admit, I have a bad temper and I easily get angry over small things but she is provoking me and I hate it! I also hate myself whenever I get angry because I do and say stupid things but I just can't control my temper right now. Louella is really getting in my nerves.
"Well, just to remind you jerk, you almost killed me! How could you play a prank that will risk someone's life?! I can't believe you Drake! You almost killed me and you won't even apologize?! You're despicable!" She shouted angrily.
Apologize? I do not do that. You should be the one to apologize not me!
"Why don't you ask for a kiss instead? Maybe, I can give you that. I don't give apologies because people apologize to me and not the other way around." I replied as I smirked at her and she just scoffed at me.
"You think too highly of yourself, it's disgusting. I'd rather kiss a cat than you!" She snapped as she rolled her eyes at me and I just laughed at her retort.
"I saved you and you won't even thank me?" I said and she laughed mockingly.
"You could have just let me drown and I won't mind. I don't need your concern or kindness if they're not coming from your heart. You saved me because you were guilty not because you wanted to! So, why would I thank you?" She stated as she scowled at me and I raised an eyebrow.
I saved you because I want to, dimwit!
"I almost died out of fear, you jerk! And you want me to thank you?! You saved me, but that is nothing compared to what you made me experience!" She snarled and all I did was scowl at her.
She turned her back on me and then she started to walk away. I brushed my hair roughly and then I fisted my hands. I bowed my head and tried to think of a good comeback but I could not even think of a single word. I closed my eyes and remained silent. I think, she has left but then I heard her call my name.
"Hey, Drake!"
I unclenched my hands and opened my eyes but I didn't reply.
"I demand an apology!" She shouted which made me turn to her.
Apology, your ass! I will never give it to you! I saved you and that is enough- more than enough.
"Go to hell Louella!" I yelled at her.
"If you won't do it then I will sue you!" She threatened and I raised an eyebrow at her.
"What you did is attempted murder and I could sue you for that!" She shouted.
How could she use the law against me?!
"I won't apologize, Louella." I stated and I stared at her meaningfully.
"Fine! I hope you won't bother me and my friends again. I won't sue you but take this chance to change yourself." She said and then she left me dumbfounded.
"You-" I started but I did not finish what I was supposed to say.
She did it again! How could she leave me dumbfounded, again?! And oh! What did she say again? A chance to change myself? Does she want me to thank her for not suing me? Is that what she wants? Well, I will never do that. Not now, not tomorrow, not ever. I will never do that. Never!
I know many great lawyers who can defend me in the court. They can easily make it look like a prank and that I did not hurt anyone. Well, it is really just a prank! And if I would be put in jail, I can easily get a bail and leave the jail right away. Wait... what?!
Why the hell am I thinking about these now?! Detainment, really?!
"I'm not done with you yet!" I shouted in dismay, I groaned before I jumped into the pool.
"I am not so done with you, Louella." I muttered as I swam to calm myself a little.
That witch is really something! She had the guts to talk back and she is threatening me now? Heck, she even planned to sue me? She's brave huh? Wait until she knows who I really am and what I can do. She should not mess with me or I must say, she should not mess with a devil. Now, I will teach her a lesson that she should have learned earlier.
