[Chapter 𝟣𝟩]

Beth Kappa: "..."
He placed his slender hand on my throat and squeezed tight enough, that I felt my breath getting caught in my lungs.
I tried to take a step back, but with the wall behind me, I could do nothing but stand on my toes. I raised my chin stubbornly, not wanting to back down.
Damian Yang: "I see you are a difficult woman, Beth, but that won't get you anywhere with me."
He narrowed his eyes at me, not blinking.
He has done this before, he was going to choke me to death.
Beth Kappa: "I am a survivor, I won't let him get to me, no!"
I raised my left leg and stepped on his feet fiercely.
It made him move, even if it was just an inch, that was all I needed.
Beth Kappa: "It was all I needed."
I convinced myself. He raised his eyebrows in pure amusement.
I really can't stand his high and mighty demeanor at all!
I wanted to punch him in the face, but that is not a good idea right now.
Beth Kappa: "Somewhen, I will!"
I grabbed the hand that he was holding me with, and twisted it to the side, in one smooth move, making him even more surprised as he tilted his head to watch me closely.
And fuck he was smiling at me like I was some weird alien that was approaching earth.
I hate his arrogance so much! I greeted my teeth before letting him go, thinking he will stop there like I did.
Damian Yang: "You amuse me, sweet Beth."
Beth Kappa: "I bet! Huh."
I scoffed annoyed.
He shook his head before, without any effort, placing a hand on the small of my back and lifting me suddenly. Making it seem too easy.
Beth Kappa: "Show off."
I muttered to myself, scowling at him.
Damian Yang: "You always choose to push my limits, is it intentional, or is this who you are?"
Beth Kappa: "AH!"
I screamed in surprise as he dumped me on the couch as if I was a sack of potatoes.
The pain in my back made me flinch as I clung to his shirt.
Damian Yang: "I do not like playing around, so it is either you stop being disrespectful to me, or..."
He trailed off, his eyes roaming my body unceremoniously.
Beth Kappa: "OR WHAT?!"
I snapped, my eyes glaring at the man on top of me.
But when his gaze found mine, I instinctively shrank back.
I am so used to being an alpha female that this scenario angers me too much for my liking.
Damian Yang: "Oh, you are so eager to test that theory, aren't you?"
He mocked smirking.
Beth Kappa: "Screw you!"
Damian Yang: "Not so fast, sweet Beth, not so fast."
He shook his head as if I had grown ten more on mine.
Damian Yang: "Do you think you can win against me? Oh, sweet, sweet Beth."
Beth Kappa: "NO!"
Damian Yang: "No what, Beth?"
Beth Kappa: "Go away!"
I managed to slip away from the couch, while he just sat there, legs wide open and arms crossed behind his head, reaching for the TV remote and smirking evilly.
Damian Yang: "Are you going to sleep at this hour?"
[living room, night]
I answered that I was just going to change my clothes and slammed the door of my room.
I wore my pajamas and went to watch TV with him, because, why not, it isn't like he was on top of me just a few minutes ago.
Like nothing had happened. I didn't want to but I wasn't going to sleep this early.
I went to the living room and sat on the other couch on the right.
My hair was tied up so I decided to untie them and mess with them a little so it wouldn't feel painful on my head.
A few seconds later I raised my head and saw Damian looking at me.
Damian Yang: "Are you done already?'"
He sounded annoyed, but why would I care, right?
Beth Kappa: "Yes sir. Sorry to disturb you."
I rolled my eyes at him, faking submission.
A low growl returned from him as a warning.
Damian Yang: "Don't call me that."
Beth Kappa: "Tsk."
I didn't get what he meant but I wasn't going to think about it anyway.
We talked with each other the rest of the night.
If you call mocking and getting angry at each other talking, of course.
The bell rang an hour after.
Damian stood to open the door, and to our surprise it was Sheila.
She barged in without even sparing him a glance.
Sheila Yang: "Beth, we are going out tonight! Let's go dancing. Let's go dancing together! I want to see you dancing, didn't you say that you love dancing?"
She singsonged her words and signaled me to follow her.
Honestly, I was bemused by her once more. This girl is restless, huh.
Beth Kappa: "Um... Yeah?"
Sheila Yang: "Let's do it then! I know the best club around here!"
Beth Kappa: "Tomorrow I have to wake up early so I can make breakfast for you guys. Plus, I am not in the mood for it right now."
Sheila Yang: "Shush and come get dressed up!"
Beth Kappa: "Eh, eh, eh! My hair, Lord help!"
[bedroom]
She took me by the hair and threw me to my room.
She gave me clothes to change into while we were both laughing.
Beth Kappa: "Oh, no! Do I have to wear that?"
Sheila Yang: "Yes, you do. Imma waits outside with that bastard of a cousin I have."
Beth Kappa: "Why? What's wrong with my p- jammies? They're comfortable! They're even earlier to dance in!"
She glared at me before giving me a red sparkly short jumpsuit with an open shoulder and the other one with cloth waving down to my legs.
I put it on and came out.
[living room, night]
Beth Kappa: "Seriously? This feels un-freaking-comfortable."
I rolled my eyes, glancing down at the dress and shoes.
Sheila Yang: "Hey! You look stunning! My gosh, took me an hour to persuade that butt of hers to agree to go out with me!"
[Unnamed Style 8]
Beth Kappa: "Well leave my gorgeous butt alone, thank you very much."
Sheila Yang: "You have long hair, that's good we will straighten them. And bleu eyes pink lips, hmph. Seriously, nobody would care that you have an almost-flat chest."
She shrugged, stifling a chuckle.
Beth Kappa: "You're just jealous my butt is better than yours!"
I defended myself, crossing my arms like a little kid, and we both burst out laughing, completely forgetting that Damian was also in the room... Oops...
She gave me another look then.
Beth Kappa: "Don't say it. I am as freaking tall as a giant. So do not dare say it!"
Sheila Yang: "You can thank the shoes for that!"
Beth Kappa: "Screw you!"
She had given me thin black high-heel sandals which had ropes that went a little bit above my ankle.
Sheila Yang: "Fan-freaking-tastic!"
Beth Kappa: "Well, let's get this over with then."
Sheila Yang: "Go, go. Before you change your mind."
Beth Kappa: "WAIT! The keys, I forgot the keys!"
Sheila Yang: "Smart!"
I turned to grab them, but what greeted me was a cold oasis of emerald eyes.
Damian Yang: "You are not going anywhere dressed like that."
Sheila Yang: "Like what, cousin?"
Damian Yang: "Like sluts."
Beth Kappa: "Hey, that's rude."
I said, feigning a pout, but couldn't hold the grin.
Sheila Yang: "You have no right to judge. All you do is f*ck them, so shut it."
Damian Yang: "I won't say it twice."
He was talking to Sheila but was glaring at me, making me a little (when I say little you know what I mean right?) uncomfortable.
Sheila Yang: "We can protect ourselves you know that better than anyone here."
Damian Yang: "I will join you then."
Sheila Yang: "Only if you call your friends too."
She smirked in victory. So that was her plan. She came here to make Damian angry and agree with her on calling his friends. Huh, what a traitor!
Damian Yang: "Already did."
Well, it seemed that Damian had already predicted it, but he was still angry, of what, I didn't know
Beth Kappa: "Sheila, you f*cking traitor!'
Sheila Yang: "Come on, Beth, Damian isn't that bad of a person, right?"
Beth Kappa: "Hey, Dam?"
I chirped sweetly, like a wife asking her husband a favor.
Damian Yang: "..."
He glanced up at me from his documents, his right eye twitching before signaling me to continue. And I did with a big annoying smile on my face.
Beth Kappa: "Is any of your friends called Tom?"
Damian Yang: "Mmhm. Why?"
I turned my head and pointed an accusing finger at Sheila,
Beth Kappa: "You dare- Oh, no! I can see where this is going, Sheila. Please don't end up in his bed I will beat you up, I swear!"
Sheila Yang: "I am not promising anything!"
Beth Kappa: "Urgh!"
[Porch, night]
We waited on the porch for his friends to come.
After half an hour they were there.
The first one that came out of the car was tall and had dark short brown hair.
His eyes were dark blue and he seemed cold but hot at the same time. His demeanor was uninterested, but I didn't let it bother me, there is my kind of people in this world too.
Eric Andre: "Hello."
The second one was tall and had short brown hair too but his eyes were light brown and he seemed very nice.
Steven Down: "Hey, brother! What's wrong with your face?"
Sheila Yang: "It's not like you don't know Damian, Steven."
Steven Down: "Uh, you're right. Well, hello to this beautiful lady too!"
Beth Kappa: "Hello yourself, handsome."
I smiled politely.
The third one had long blonde hair and brown eyes.
Tom Matthews: "Hey man, stop it, or else I won't be able to save you from the wolf's claws."
Sheila Yang: "Hey Tom."
Tom Matthews: "Hello Sheila, Damian"
A slight bow was made for Damian, and it had me confused, but I let it go.
Tom Matthews: "And hello to this beautiful lady too."
He was tall too and seemed to be kind and sweet towards me.
Sheila Yang: "Beth this is Steven, Eric, and Tom."
Damian Yang: "This is Beth, a helplessly stupid woman that can fight."
He said while leaning to the wall, indifference shown clearly in his eyes, but the other three men were shocked but his words, as if lightning had struck them.
Beth Kappa: "What did I do to you again? Can you please control that temper of yours? I can't handle it! Uh!"
Damian Yang: "I can control it as well as you control your mood swings, sweet Beth."
They all looked astonished once more, giving each other weird looks I couldn't decipher, seeing him interact with me.
Like it was something that never happens.
Sheila Yang: "Let's go!"
Damian Yang: "I will drive, and you, sweet Beth, are sitting in the passenger's seat."
He said, warning me with his gaze.
Sheila Yang: "Where will I sit?"
Beth Kappa: "Can I answer that? Please?"
Sheila Yang: "No, I won't sit on Tom's d*ck, Beth. You can rest assured that you will drag me out of the club for punishment!"
Beth Kappa: "Shoot, I think, no, am pretty sure they heard that."
Steven Down: "Oh, we did."
He chuckled knowingly.
Beth Kappa: "Oops!"
Tom Matthews: "You can sit with me Sheila, if you want and are comfortable with it. I won't do or say anything weird, you know me."
Well, that must have felt like a slap in the face for Sheila, after all, he was older than her.
We all got into the car and I giggle uncontrollably while putting my seatbelt on.
Sheila Yang: "Shut it!"
Sheila patted me hard on the head and we started laughing because she knew what I was thinking.
Beth Kappa: "Okay, I will stop it, but if it gets more ridiculous I can't promise you anything."
While driving we talked and got to know each other a little bit more.
[club, night]
We arrived at the club and sat on a couch that had a low table in front of the dance floor.
Sheila immediately grabbed my hand.
Sheila Yang: "We are going to dance, you can order me whatever you're having Eric."
She declared.
Sheila Yang: "For Beth make it double or maybe triple, or else she won't get drunk at all."
Beth Kappa: "Hey, wait!"
She dragged me to the dance floor with her without another word.
