Chapter 6 Be my girl

Joan's POV

To be honest, I was suddenly a little excited. The awkward expression on Fletcher’s face provided me with a vengeful pleasure, and all my frustration had gone.

After we went out of the cafe, Noah was still holding my hands. This was too far from what I had expected.

“Stop that!” I got out his arms. “That’s enough!”

“What?” Noah didn’t loose his hand and that was when Fletcher followed us out.

"Get the fuck off her!" Fletcher threw a punch and Noah easily escaped from it.

"Not even close." Noah said defiantly, chin raised. Quickly, he threw a punch back, right in Fletcher’s face. Fletcher was not ready for that, so he was closely fell off. Karen screamed and hurried to get him.

Apparently, Fletcher was irritated. As the attack came so fast, Noah quickly grabbed me with his hand and put me behind him.

I sprained my ankle, but Noah caught me right away to stop me from being hurt. This was the first time I'd ever felt protected.

With his protection, I dodged Fletcher's attack even though I wasn’t his target. Seeing me closely standing with Noah, Fletcher got even furious. It seemed that the two men were about to scuffle and a bigger chaos almost came.

Everyone in the cafe was drew attention by them and some of them took out of the phone and began taking photos. It was an eternal theme that two men had a fight for  a lover, and audiences would never lose their interest in such a drama. Come on, I didn’t want to be the focus on the Trending Twitter later.

“Stop!” I shouted and came to pull Noah’s arm out instantly

But this didn’t stop him at all, instead, Noah became more out of control.Obviously, it was not the right time that I talked with Fletcher seriously. All I wanted was to finish the mess. But unluckily, I got hurt druing this chaos.

I fell down, hitting my ribs on the corner of the fire hydrant. Tears welled up in my eyes. It damned hurt. It was going to leave bruises on my body. Pain almost killed me there, and I just wanted to go up there and punch Fletcher myself.

Noah noticed my falling off. He made his way to me and worriedly checked if I was hurt. I just didn’t understand all this. Why would he be so concerned about me? We just made love once and barely knew each other.

Moreover, he showed a face of rage to Fletcher, a face that more than any words.

"What’s your point? That’s MY girlfriend!” Fletcher came to me, willing to rob me from Noah’s strong hand. His face was really dark, with no kind emotions on it. I never saw him looking like that.

“Not any more!"Noah simply answered. He slowly moved towards Fletcher. I glanced that at his hand holding tightly. Fletcher took actions first, punching in Noah’s face. Noah didn’t escape try to escape.

“Now it’s my turn.” As Fletcher paused, Noah raised his hand, aiming at Fletcher. The corner of his mouth was broken and bleeding a little, which made him more sexy.

"Noah! What are you doing?!” Suddenly, a woman screamed out loud. I chased the voice, and there came a hot woman with blonde long hair just like mine. Different from her, I always wore my hair up. What’s more, her height, her eyes and even the little freckles on her face were like mine. I was sure that strangers would mistake us for each other for the first time.

She came up, pushed Fletcher away and hugged Noah. "What the fuck are you doing,Noah? Don’t you care anything about your fame and reputation? There could be paparazzi hiding in the crowds! Oh god!"

Based on how she got along with Noah, I thought they must be dating,otherwise they couldn’t be so close.

“Fletcher, Noah is your uncle. You are too spoilt!”She said to Fletcher.

Of course she knew Fletcher, because they were family after all, and I, was a stranger to them.

Then, the woman came to me, looking me up and down, and finally decided to ask me something about this accident.“Is this because of you?”

She were asking me but I was still in blank minds. She seemed to see through my mind and took out her phone, slightly unlocked and showed me what she was playing on her phone.

Seeing carefully, I found it was a short video about what happened just now. Noah and Fletcher were fighting and I was trying to stop them.

“You are Fletcher’s girlfriend, aren’t you?”the women said gracefully, indicating how elegant she was. “Or maybe you.” She turned to Karen, but Karen kept silent, daring not to say a word in front of me.

Eventually, she looked at me and Karen, brushing her hair with her own fingers. It seemed that she was contemptuous to girls like us. "I didn’t know what you guys up to now. I called the police, and they will easily know the whole things from you. Just wait for a minute.”

“Ginger, what the fuck? Just stay away from my personal life!” Noah yelled out impatiently.

“How? Just tell me, Noah! How can I step out of your life? You said you loved me.” Ginger’s two beautiful eyes filled with tears.

“Yeah, I loved. Ginger. But it’s all over.” Noah coldly answered.

My mind went wildly blank. I didn’t expect that I slept with a guy who had a girlfriend. Then, what was the difference between me and Karen? I was also a bitch to Ginger. If only I had never done such a stupid thing. I wanted to cry over spilt milk.

“I’m sorry, I’ll take care of all this. But please leave us alone. We don’t need police now.”

I tried to modify the programme I had already written myself, but it was when the police car stopped beside us.

“New York police office. We got a call, saying there's a fight here." One of the officers showed me his I.D. and told us all to cooperate. And just like that, the night ended with a statement at the police station. When finishing being questioned, it was late at night.

I didn’t see Noah after I came out from the police office, neither did I see Karen. I went home with Fletcher, the real bastard. Fletcher was obviously not happy either. All the way, he kept silent. After he parked the car in the garage, I opened the car door and angrily went upstairs.

Unlocked the door, I threw my handbag on the couch and straightly went to the bedroom, looking for a suit of clean pajamas. All I wanted was to take a shower and clean everything about Hugos away.

As I was walking to the shower, Fletcher arrived home. He walked quickly up to me, blocking my way, and wouldn't let me leave.

"Get out of the way." I said, looking at him impassively.

"Tell me what's going on with you and Noah? Did you sleep?"
