Bad News // Johnny Lawrence

Part 21: The Tournament 3

"I got you a sandwich." You said, tossing the turkey and cheese at Johnny.

He caught it with ease before unraveling it from its layer of Saran Wrap. "Thanks Princess."

You had snuck out to get everyone food and had already handed out the sandwiches, leaving just Johnny and you.

Not being able to wait, you had eaten yours on the walk back from the deli, leaving you to have nothing better to do than watch him eat.

You couldn't help but smile as you studied him. The way he devoured it made it seem like he was being timed, and whoever had the slowest would be punished.

"Daniel's looking pretty good out there huh?"

Johnny looked up from his sandwich for the first time, giving you a once over. Clearly trying to see if you were joking.

He shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, looking back down at his sandwich. "Sensei's getting nervous. I'll admit, Daniels looking better. But with a teacher like Mr. Miyajee, it'd be hard not to."

"Miyagi." You corrected him.

He pointed his sandwich at you and nodded. "Miyagi."

"How are you even allowed down on the floor anyway?" He asked after finishing his sandwich.

"Didn't you hear? I've been hired as Daniel's psychological and mental strength trainer."

He gave you his world renown grin, making your heart fly. "Is that so?"

"Let me know if you ever need my services." You answered back with a wink.

"How about tonight?" He asked, grinning up at you from his spot on the bleachers.

"It's a date."

"This ones for you!" Johnny called out as he pointed to you and walked onto the mat, ready for his next match.

You felt the blood rush to you cheeks as everyone's eyes moved to you. With your mouth slightly agape, you stared at him, making him laugh.

You were thankful when the whistle blew, signaling the start of the match. You watched as Johnny's face turned from the smile he had given you to one of focus and determination in seconds.

The boy tried to strike first, but failed when Johnny easily dodged him and circled around. It was funny seeing him out there. For his large build, he was extremely light on his feet. You knew his endurance must be great. Looking him up and down, you felt your cheeks turn red again.

The boy looked almost timid as he went in for another punch, but before he could Johnny quickly kicked him in the stomach, sending him to the ground.

There wasn't much to see after that and Johnny easily won the match, earning a loud cheer from you.

The second it was over, he made his way back to you with a smirk on his face. The smirk didn't leave until his lips met yours.

He wrapped his arms around your waist while yours locked behind his neck. He lifted you off the ground, spinning you once before setting you back down. You couldn't help but smile into the kiss from the surprise of his sudden show of affection.

"What was that for?" You asked as he pulled away.

He shrugged. "Just because I can."

He threw his arm over your shoulder, pulling you into his chest where he whispered into your ear. "And the guy I just beat kept looking at you."

You laughed. "So guys aren't allowed to look at me anymore?"

"No, they're not." He answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
