Chapter Eight:A kick in the place where the sun doesn't shine

The next week had been really busy for both Kira and Angie. After high school, they both applied to the same college so that they could be close to each other.

Angela managed to convince Kira to apply to the same college as her so that she could keep her part-time job here.

"Please Kira, I really want us to go to the same college and so that I can also keep my job at the restaurant" Angela sulked up to her, giving her puppy eyes.

"I really don't know why you even work when your parents are very rich and could afford anything that you want, Angie" Kira said.

She had a good point but she thought of a way to twist herself from this conversation that she was not ready to talk about with anyone just yet.

"I would tell you later when the time is right" she said

"Nope. Not having it. That is exactly what you have been saying for the past few months since your 18th birthday, when you moved out of your parents' house, remember?"

"I got into a fight with them and they kicked me out" Angie lied through her teeth.

"Yeah of course, I'm a kid with diapers that you could easily lie to. Come on Angie your mom was very sad that you were leaving when I came to pick up your things, she even begged you to take on of the cars with you and gave you lots of cash but you still refused.

So, tell me, for real this time what is really the matter" she asked her.

"Listen Kira, I really want to tell you but right now is not the right time. I promise to tell you when I'm ready, okay?" she looked at her pleadingly.

Kira expressions softened "Promise?"

"Promise. I would pinky swear if you want" Angie said relieved that she had avoided this topic but it was for a limited time as she brought out her right pinky finger.

Kira looked at her pinky finger, raised an eyebrow and said "You do know that if you fail to fulfil a pinky swear you literally have to cut off your pinky finger, you know that, right?"

Angie gulped and was really scared and this caused Kira to laugh her heart out.

"Nice try, you really scared me there Kira. Phew" Angie heaved a sigh of relief.

"Actually, it is not a joke but what happened real life, but you don't have anything to worry about because you would keep your promise.

Even if you don't, I still won't be mad at you. I am just worried about you Angie"

"Yeah, I know I'm sorry but I will tell you when I'm ready, okay?"

"Okay. Alright I will apply to the school here. Besides my family needs me around."

This caused Angela to squeal in joy and hugged her so tight.

"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you."

"I…can't…b breath A Angie" Kira said with great difficulty. Angie released her hold on her. "Sorry, I was just too excited. Thank you so much Kira." She thanked her again.

"If I knew that this would be your reaction, I would have made you beg me more" Kira chuckled very amused at her friend.

"You don't have the heart Kira" Angela smirked then nudged her a little.

"Yeah sure, you got lucky because you used those beautiful green eyes by doing puppy eyes, you got really lucky because I would have travelled half way across the globe you know" Kira smirked when the smile on Angie's face dropped.

"Just kidding girl," she laughed at her facial expression.

"Well, I have to get going. It is getting late. I would see you around okay. Bye Polar."

"Okay, bye. Take care of yourself."

"I will. You too and don't over work yourself, I mean it" Kira said sternly.

"Alright, alright, yeeesh.. you sound like our principal from high school" Angie said and they both laughed.

Kira left Angela's apartment it was getting dark. The time should be past 6 in the evening.

She left the alley and was about to enter the main street.

She didn't know that she was being followed and she was soon surrounded by three men that she didn't know or have ever seen before.

"Ummm..excuse me. I want to pass."

She said politely trying not to upset them because the place was a lonely place and she was out numbered, it's not like she could fight if the person was just a single person.

She could not even do anything about it.

They did not reply but cornered her instead and one came closer to her. "You are one pretty little thing, what are you doing here by this hour?" the one that looked like the leader of the gang asked and tried to touch her face but she slapped his hand away.

They men laughed and one of them said "She's a feisty one boss"

"Why don't we tame her" said the other one

"Let me go" she said with fear in her eyes which she was trying to hide.

"You still have the mouth to talk. Why don't I shut it up for you?" said the one that they referred to as boss.

"Why don't you pick on some one your own size boys" came a voice from the shadows which caused all of them to turn.

"Who the fuck are you! Show yourself if you've got the balls to face us" said the leader of the gang spat.

Shawn came out from the shadows. He was in all black with a hoodie covering half of his face but Kira recognized him and was a little relieved.

Shawn had been following her since she left Angela's house.

He didn't know why but he just found himself monitoring her, he knows he shouldn't but he couldn't help himself.

He wanted to follow the other route that led to his house but he had a hunch to follow the friend of the girl that has captured his interest and he was right.

He knew that she cared about this girl so much and would be heartbroken if something should happen to her. "Like I said pick on someone your own size".

He said to piss off the gang members.

"You are going to regret messing with me and not minding your damn business you punk" said the leader of the gang.

"You are all talk, no action. Bring it on shit heads".

This only angered them the more and they came charging at Shawn. The two minions came forward throwing punches but Shawn easily dodge and blocked them.

The then kicked one in the place where the sun doesn't shine that made him yell out in pain crouching down holding his balls through his clothes, he screamed

"Dude what the fuck did I do to you? Don't you want me to have children?" this caused Kira to laugh, the other man rushed and he twisted the other man's hand to hear a snap and he kicked him in the stomach and he fell flat on his back.

Shawn signaled the leader to come at him but he just looked down at his men who were badly beaten by one man. He called them. "Let's go boys" he was terrified but covered his fear by saying that it was not over and they let the alley.

Kira was still shaken up by the whole incident and was still at the place that the men left limping and crouching in pain that she didn't notice when Shawn came close to her. His manly woody scent of his after shave filled the surrounding air around her.

"Are you okay Kira?" Shawn asked her and she only nodded and couldn't look up.

"Did they hurt you?" he asked again. She just shook her head. He sighed in relief. That was when she looked up and his honey brown eyes couldn't be more captivating and she was lost in those eyes and his closeness didn't help matters, she was in a trance that was caused by this beautiful man, beautiful because that was the only way you could describe him.

She was staring at him, almost drooling that she didn't hear him ask if he could walk her home. He asked the same question twice before snapping his fingers in front of her, bringing her to the present.

Get a hold of yourself Kira, for Christ's sake he just saved my ass and I'm supposed to be thanking him but here I am drooling. She cautioned herself before she said. "Ummm…t thank y..you sir" great, she can't even make full sentences without stuttering which she normally doesn't do.

"I guess you are still shaken up. I asked if I could walk you home?" he said in that deep sexy voice. No Kira, you're drifting again. She shook her head to get rid of the thoughts.

"Yes please. That's if you don't mind sir" she added because he just saved her and didn't have to follow her home like her personal body guard.

"I don't mind. Let's go, it is getting late" he said and waited for her to lead the way.

The walk to Kira's home was silent. A lot was going on in Kira's mind. She was wondering what would have happened to her if he hadn't showed up there.

She could have been raped, kidnapped or even worse killed. She shuddered at the thought. Her family would have been devasted.

She also wondered how he knew her name but they didn't know his own name. they just called him sir. When they were a couple of blocks away, she mustered the courage to ask him some questions.

"How do you know my name?" she asked.
