When I woke up I was in nothing but one of Connor's shirts which was like, 3x too big for me. Connor was once again spooning me but we were in his room, which to my surprise was actually kinda clean. I turned over to be met with Connors chest next to my face. I noticed an X shaped scar in his chest. Without realizing, I traced his scar, and wondered where it came from. Of course I have had my fair share of scares, but this one was deep, and looked like it had been around for about a year or two. Connor woke up, to my touch, I guess, and snatched my hand away from his chest.
"Don't" he groaned sleepily, stretching his muscles out. I finally got a good look at how fit Connor was; it's no wonder that all the girls fall for him.
"What happened?" I asked curiously.
"It's nothing." he started looking away from me.
"That scar is pretty deep and looks like it has been around for about 2 years, ya sure absolutely nothing" I said, rolling my eyes
"2 years, 7 months, and 13 days." he said, as he looked at me with tears forming in his eyes.
"If you don't want to tell me then that is OK, but I do want you to know that I will always be here for you." I replied rubbing his shoulders
"thank you my princess" he simply said getting up. I went to the bathroom and noticed marks all over my neck... great that will be fun to cover up. I put on several layers of foundation to cover the marks and eventually ended up just removing it all and wrapping my neck with a bandage. After we got ready and ate breakfast, Connor had to go to fencing practice as he apparently was the best and has been challenged to a battle (which I highly doubt he probably knows the owner and made a deal only to show off). We arrived at what looked like a dojo, and Connor walked in, and immediately girls were ALL OVER him, like bears to honey. After he changed (and dang was that fencing suit tight) he went into the middle of the room which was cleared out, with chairs surrounding it. Once Connor got his fencing sword he was met in the middle by a man who looked no older than 30. They started talking and the man made the first move. He landed quite a few hits, but they didn't seem to have any effect on Connor. He came back at the man with a series of attacks until the man kneeled from pain (I guess that was a sign of giving up as it ended right after). The battle was quite quick, and right after, a bunch of girls came crowding around Connor making sure he was 'OK'. I walked out to the car, with him and his crowd of fans following closely behind. I got in the car and when Connor finally lost them got in the driver's seat. Right when he got in the car, he held his chest. I could tell he was in pain.
"What's wrong?" I asked as I quickly removed my hand, he said nothing. So I climbed over and straddled him and started to unbutton his shirt, when he grabbed my hand
"what are you doing?" He asked quietly
"seeing what's wrong since apparently you won't tell me" I said as I started getting back to unbuttoning his shirt when it was fully unbuttoned, I saw a bunch of bruises all over his chest.
"What the hell?" I questioned under my breath, looking up to see him wincing in pain under my touch.
"You are not OK, let me go get some medicine for that, I am sure that the dojo would have some" I said unbuckling my seatbelt
"No" he whispered
"Make me." I said but before I could get out of the car, his lips crashed onto mine. My head was against the door and Connor crawled over to the passenger side. When I was out of breath he crawled over and started to drive away, so I wouldn't have a chance to escape, while catching my breath. When we got home I helped him inside and placed him carefully on the couch. I ran upstairs to get some alcohol. Good thing I am pretty much an expert at caring for wounds. He kept on wincing in pain, every time I touched a bruise, even lightly. I gave him a pain killer, and told him to take it easy.
"Why the hell do you get hurt so much?" I question while making lunch.
"Why the hell do you get kidnapped so much?" He questioned back with a smirk
"because that is the life I live" I stated under my breath, as I was ashamed of it
"well then that is also the life I live" he said back, stuffing his face with the tacos I made.
"Connor??" I asked
"yes princess" he mumbled before finishing his tacos
"I... uhh never mind" I quietly said looking at my toes
"you what" he asked, holding my head up, with a smirk.
"It's nothing," I quickly said.
"Ohh come on Princess stop being shy besides I have already seen everything" he said with a smirk, and there he is, the annoying ass Conner is back. I blushed so hard that I swear I probably looked like a cherry.
"Stop calling me princess, I am nowhere near a Princess" I said dodging his question
"Fine kitty" he replied with a big smirk.
"Wha... how am I a cat?" I question, like why a cat, why not a ferret, animalistic much.
"Well cats are cute and..." before he could finish the sentence I ran out of the kitchen faster than the flash. Connor came chasing after me. When he finally caught me, he had me pinned against the office door.
"So what were you going to say Princess?" he said, putting emphasis on the last word, I quickly gave up, since I didn't feel like fighting as my body still hurt like hell from last night.
"Ok you know the silver tear company, right?" I started
"ya, I mean as much as the next person, they do own like half the country" he replied.
"Good, now the person that owns the Silver Tear Company happens to run the Silver Dragon Gang and well... you are kinda sorta speaking to that person." I said looking away from him, knowing he would be astonished. As I caught a glimpse of him I saw his jaw dropped to the floor, yep I was right, he was astonished, no beyond astonished.
"Princess, why, how, who?" He ranted
"how: because my cousin was the former leader and since I am the next blood relative I became leader.
Why: because I thought it would fun who: well me" I said avoiding eye contact.
"Alice, how dare you... add to the list of things that make you my Princess." He screamed.
"What... so you mean you aren't mad at me?" I asked
"no Princess I will never ever be mad at you for anything, you are MY Princess." He said while picking me up and carrying me to his room. When we got there he placed me down and pinned me to the wall, and started sucking on my neck. It was painful at first but then became pure pleasure.
"Connor... ahh... No...." was all I could get out.
"No????" he asked, slightly confused but mostly sad.
"This can not, will not, and never will work, I will hurt you just like everyone else who gets close to me." I said fumbling with my thumbs, and avoiding eye contact.
"What about Hannah?" he asked trying to come up with a come back
"She is a black belt in Karate, Taekwondo, and a master at throwing knives." I said looking at his nose, not wanting to make eye contact.
"Well princess, you really don't think I can take care of myself" He said tilting my head slightly, so I made eye contact with him. He must have seen that I was hurt (as I really wanted to be with him) as he pulled me in a hug and said
"I will defeat the strongest person you know"
"But you literally just got hurt by a weakling" I responded looking confused, was he really ready to give up his life, please don't that would just create a lot of problems, and I don't feel like dealing with that right now.
"That's because I didn't have anything worth fighting for, But you, my princess are worth fighting for, and because I was a little rusty as I haven't had to fence in a long time," he replied
"I don't feel like..." but before I could finish the sentence, I got an idea. If he really wanted to fight then I will set up a fight with my strongest hand to hand fighter, but I will set it up like a training fight. Which is where they will fight but Finn, the guy who will be fighting Connor, will not seriously injure them. We do this to see what we need to improve, skills wise.
"OK, let me make a call and we can get going" I said as I turned around and left.
