I knew I was going to be okay when I started laughing, which only seemed to enrage her even more.
"You know, it doesn't matter what you do or say here, at the end of the day I'm still going to be Colton's girl and you're not. As a matter of fact before I forget, Carol I might need you to come help me pack up for my move into your brother's penthouse. I understand you've never been inside Jennifer, it's gorgeous."
Then I took some liberties with the truth.
"Colton even said I could redecorate anyway I want to but it's already perfect so..."
I shrugged as though it was no big deal, no he hadn't said that but I'm sure if I asked he'd let me, and knowing that, I felt even more empowered.
This little speech had the desired effect as the delusional nut job actually went for my throat.
This time I was ready though and blocked her hands with one of mine while using the thumb of the other to jab her jugular.
She dropped to her knees like a dead weight, clutching her throat, fighting for the breath.
The din that had surrounded me was suddenly broken as I heard laughter and applause around us.
Of course, it's a mall, it would be full of teenagers with their cell phones at the ready, I had no doubt this would be on YouTube in the next hour or so.
Apparently I didn't hit her hard enough because she was climbing to her feet again. Damn.
I guess since it was my first time doing it I'd pulled back a little, Colton had warned me about that.
As much as I would enjoy kicking her snooty ass I didn't necessarily want to end up a feature on YouTube.
Meanwhile Carol was on the phone trying to call someone, a crowd was gathering and the bitch was back on her feet with blood in her eyes.
"You fucking little bitch, how dare you?"
"Jennifer you need to stop, people are staring and taking pictures for heavens' sake."
"Shut up Carol, do you think I'd let this little nobody get the best of me, I know all about you, yeah, I had a look into your past, why don't we tell these nice people here how you and your friend lured those poor boys and then cried rape you little..."
I'm not sure she got any other words out, all I know is my ears began to ring and my blood was up.
My first swing drew blood but that didn't stop me, I just kept going, if she could or could not fight I couldn't tell you, all I know is nothing connected to me but I was wailing the hell out of her.
I beat her for me and Donna and the hell we went through, I beat her for having the nerve to want to sink her filthy hooks into my man. I'm not sure how long we were at it, it didn't seem that long at all but the next thing I knew there were running feet coming towards us and mall security was trying to pull me off of her.
"Get your fucking hands off her asshole."
"Oh shit." I looked at carol questioningly, how the hell had Colton made it here so fast, there's no way.
Greenville is at least an hour away, whatever, Colton was pulling me out of the guard's hands while most of his crew surrounded us and Carol.
Jennifer was screeching about having me arrested along with some other very imaginative threats, the kids were yelling that she'd started the whole thing and they had the proof.
"Call your security chief and tell him get his ass down here now." Colton ordered the guy who'd been about to haul me off.
He wasted no time getting on the horn to his boss. He said a few words to whoever it was before turning back to Colton.
"Your name sir?"
"Lyon."
I didn't miss the look of apprehension that crossed the guard's face at that.
There was a whole lot going on thanks in part to Jennifer's vociferous outbursts and calls for action.
Carol looked like she was about to deck her one and I just wanted to be done.
"Did you hurt yourself Angel?"
Colton pushed the hair back from my temple where she'd clocked me the first time.
There wasn't any swelling or anything that I could tell but it was apparent that there was some kind of bruising since he kissed the spot before hugging me close.
I took a chance and looked up at his face to gather how angry he was at me, but his venom was directed elsewhere.
The look he was directing at Jennifer was almost lethal, I actually shivered when his eyes moved to mine.
The raw intent I saw there before he hid it behind the softer look of concern he gave me was scary as hell.
