I have become so much dependent on Baby that whenever I don't see him I get restless. My presence calls for trouble.
"Look who we have here?" Roses and her friends again.
Alina was there but she was sitting on the other side of the canteen watching us.
She always sends her followers to do her dirty job. I always do my best to avoid any crashes or confrontations with them.
I gave Roland and Betty a signal and they got it. Betty was sad to leave her unfinished food behind.
Roland drags her along as we leave the table.
"You have some nerve walking away from me when I'm still talking to you," she storms.
"I don't want any trouble, you girls leave me alone,"
I was fed up with them constantly trying to pick up a fight with me. When I have done nothing wrong to any of them or maybe I have? I got the most handsome guy in school protecting me.
"Wow, you don't want any trouble? Who do you think you are? Or do you think you are special because Baby protects you?" she barks turning to face her friends.
"She thinks she is a special person, ladies. Now you listen to me you bitch, you better stay away from him else you will have what is coming for you," she angrily said as she picked up the glass of juice on the table.
"You are nothing but a piece of trash like the clothes you are wearing," she threw the glass of juice, I knew she was going to bathe me with it.
I had my eyes closed, suddenly I felt a hand from nowhere holding me.
I opened my eyes and I was in the arms of Baby. He had his hand around my waist and pulled me closer to him.
Everyone in the room was in shock, maybe surprise. According to what I was told he hates to be touched and he doesn't have physical contact with people so yeah it was a big deal.
The juice accidentally landed on Alina's dress. She got pissed.
"What the hell Roses?" she yells trying to clean the juice off herself. I looked at her and smiled.
Her anger looked perfect on her anyway. It made no difference. She was in all black and it was hard to tell, she had juice poured on her.
I enjoyed seeing her so angry. She was furious. I know she wishes she could break my neck but unfortunately for her, she can't do anything.
I was in the arms of the most powerful person in town.
"I'm sorry Alina, it was an accident," Roses was scared. I don't know who she was more scared of Alina whom she mistakenly bathed with juice or Baby who caught her red-handed bullying me.
She was shivering. "Listen up everyone, I have an announcement to make. It seems you guys don't know but I will make it clear to you all. This little cub is under my care," he said, still holding me up close to him. It felt so good in his arms. His body was warm and I wish to be in his arms forever. I was lost in my willful imagination.
"Anyone that dares to touch her is automatically going against me. Have I made myself clear enough?" He said in a raspy voice the others responding in unison
"Yes!" except Alina who storms out of the canteen in anger. He draws close to Roses waiting for her response.
"Yes it won't happen again," she apologizes and leaves with her girls.
Betty was excited at the turn of events but not Roland. He never seems to like Baby and he didn't look like someone who was scared of him either.
"Um… Nancy, Betty, I will be at the chemistry lab," Roland whimpered as he turns about to leave.
Betty took a seat and had her eyes fixed on us. I was still in his arms
"I left you alone for a second and you already landed yourself in trouble, listen up my little cub," he said holding my cheeks
"Take care of yourself and please be in one piece until I return." He murmured.
Was that a worried look on his face? Or sympathy whatever the case is, he cares about me and that's a good kick point.
"Where are you going?" he didn't say but I knew he had to leave.
I couldn't tell if he saved me by making an announcement that no one should touch me or if he landed me into more trouble.
