BRONAGH (Slater Brothers, #1.5)

I dove to the left and quickly scrambled back to my feet in time was watch Jennifer run into the cage. Usually I would call that person stupid, but I was so happy because I was hoping it would knock her out.

Not with my luck though because she got back up, and was angrier than before.

"Oh, Jesus... Oh, Christ."

"Babe, listen to me, okay? Put your hands up in front of your face."

I nodded my head and covered my face.

"No! Guard your face Bronagh, don't fuckin' cover it!"

I dropped my hands and held them out in front of my face.

"How the hell am I supposed to know what to do? I've never done this before?" I bellowed at Dominic.

I wish I knew where he was because when he spoke, it sounded like he was all around me.

"Is this a lovers tiff?" Jennifer asked as she danced around the ring while I stood still in the centre of it.

"No, this is normal for us. So normal that you would think we need a shrink... I'm actually considerin' goin' to anger manage-ahhhh!"

I kicked my legs out at Jennifer when she was close. I was meant to kick her, put my heels flew off and hit her in the chest and head by mistake.

The heel to the head hurt her though because she grabbed her head and fell backwards.

I screamed then ran to the cage. "Someone get me out of here, this is a mistake! I'm a lover not a fighter!"

"Move left. Left, left, left," Dominic's voice shouted.

I swung left. "She isn't on me left!"

"Your other fucking left!"

I swung to my right and instantly threw my hands up in front of my face. I felt a punch hit me in the side of the head and seconds later I felt my body hit the ground.

"Lift the fucking cage!" I heard numerous voices shout.

I was dizzy, and felt like I was going to be sick.

I tried to sit up, but I received another whack to my face then I felt a weight on my chest pinning me down. I opened my eyes and found Jennifer sat on top of me. I closed my eyes; covered my head with my hands and cringed.

I think I screamed when she began raining punches to my head, but it didn't last long because one second she was on me, then the next she was off.

I opened my eyes and turned to the right in time to see Dominic pin Jennifer to the ground and shout down into her face. Security guards got up onto the platform and took hold of Jennifer so Dominic moved over to me.

"Jesus, baby," he said, he eyes wide as he looked down at me.

I winced. "I'm fine, sore, but fine... I thought I was gonna die."

Dominic pressed his hand to my cheek and it hurt.

"What the hell happened? Why did you get up here-"

"I didn't," I cut him off. "She tricked me. It was her fella who you knocked out at the bar... she must have saw the whole thing from up here. She wanted revenge on me."

"Fuck's sake," Dominic growled.

I reached up and touched his face and then out of the corner of my eye I saw Jennifer break out of the security guard's hold and rush at Dominic.

I found the strength to pull myself up and pulled him to the other side of me. I don't know what I planned to do to Jennifer when she got me but I luckily didn't have to worry because the security guards caught her and pulled her back.

"Bronagh, what the fuck are you doing?"

I looked to Dominic and shrugged. 'What does it look like I'm doin'? I'm protectin' you."

Dominic blinked, his eyes softening. "Baby."

I leaned my head against his. "You were right about everythin'. I'm goin' to find a class or a course to help me deal with my emotions in the correct way. I'm in your corner with you for life, I love you."

Dominic swallowed. "I love you so fucking much."

He kissed my mouth but it was too rough so I pulled back and hissed.

"I don't mean to ruin the moment, but I feel like I'm dyin' so can you get me off this thing?"

"Of course," Dominic said.

After a few minutes we were back at our table, I sat down across from Aideen and Alec and groaned.

"Can we go home?" I asked.

"Were leaving now bumble be-"

"Alec."

I jumped at the loud female screech.

"Yes?" Alec asked the blonde-haired girl.

"Who is that bitch? Tonight's shag?" She snapped.

Alec looked down to Aideen who was half asleep on his shoulder and laughed. It looked like he was about to say something but he was cut off when the girl suddenly attacked Aideen.

"What the fuck?" I screamed.

Kane jumped over the table pulled the girl off Aideen who was holding onto her cheek.

"Get the fuck out of here!" Kane snarled to the bitch he was holding and shoved her away from our table.

She left but cursed everyone of us along the way.

"Aideen?" I called.

She whimpered.

"Fuck!" Kane snapped.

I frowned.

What the fuck was with all the fighting tonight?

"I want to go home." Aideen sniffled.

"I'll bring you-"

"No, I want Keela. Ring Keela!"

Kane and Alec shared a look.

Alec sighed. "Give me your phone and I'll ring her."

Aideen gave Alec her phone then went with Kane as he helped her leave. I frowned as they walked away.

Poor Aideen.

I winced then when my cheek throbbed.

Poor me.

"Ryder and Branna are waiting for us, Bronagh-wait, where is Aideen and Kane?"

I shrugged. "Some girl attacked Aideen."
