Southern Hospitality

Chapter 18

Luke and I turned around and Walters face dropped "Evelyn?" he shouted

"Are you done harassing her?" Luke asked clearly annoyed

"I-... umm.. damn. Evelyn I ain't mean all that" he started to explain stepping forward. I was shocked he would say such disgusting words to a women. As if I was some toy they could share or fight over

"Walter you've done enough. Let's go Eve" Luke said standing in-between Walter and me

"Evelyn are you on a date with him?" he asked looking at me like I was crazy

"Yes" I responded not ashamed by Luke. Walter looked like he was in disbelief 

"This is comical... you just went on a date with me a few weeks ago" he laughed to himself looking back his friends

"I mean I understand if you want to experiment outside your race but with white trash it makes you look like a common whore" Walter laughed 

I was speechless... did he just call me a whore?

Before I could even respond Luke was on the ground punching Walter. Everything happened so fast I didn't even see him move. Everyone started to crowd around as they were beating each other

"Luke stop!" I yelled trying to pull him off Walter

Oliva ran up with another bartender as they helped me pull the grown men apart. Walters had a huge bruise on his face, it almost looked like he had black eye. Luke's nose was bleeding and he had some marks on his face as well

"Call me what you want pig but never talk about her" Luke yelled as Oliva and the other bartender dragged Walter back to his table. I was holding onto the Luke's arm with all my strength just ready to go 

"Luke lets just go, I'm fine" I pleaded grabbing his face so he could see I wanted to go 

Walter was sitting at the table crying over his face, Luke really did mess up his eye. The bartender put ice on it as he whined at the table. "My boss says yall gonna have to leave" Oliva sadly said walking up to us giving me some ice 

"I don't care. Y'all love protecting cops like him anyways. Have a nice night Liv" Luke spitted before walking out 

I ran after him thanking Oliva for the help. Luke stormed to the car and opened the door fast. Once I reached him I got inside "its not Oliva's fault" I breathed putting my seatbelt on

He didn't say anything to me and I was getting annoyed. Walter wasn't the one who called him a whore so I don't know why he's mad. 

"Luke, if your not going to speak to me just drop me at home now" I said not in the mood

"I'm not ignoring you... I just need a moment" he mumbled resting his head on the stirring wheel. I reached my hand over and rubbed his neck this time he didn't flinch away 

"Thank you" I lowly whispered giving him some time. 

...

We left the pub and we're back at Luke's house sitting on the couch watching a movie. We were having a fun time and had Walter to ruin it. He was out of pocket tonight and I can't believe I went on a date with him. He was a shallow asshole

"Darling... this movie is unrealistic" Luke said pointing at the screen. I forced him to watch the hunger games  because he said he never watched it. 

"It is! Our world is exactly like that just less extreme. The rich do nothing while the working class build our cities and economy" I argued turning to look at him. I was a huge fan of dystopian movies they showed the reality of the world
