Well Enough Alone (Open)

[knightmare13]

"Thank you." I said to her grabbing her arm with as little pressure as I could use, they were getting too close and we needed to move fast. "Okay, when we get to my car it's your choice, I'm really sorry for spoiling your fun." I said.

I almost reached the door when we were blocked by several bouncers and each one looked like they wanted a bonus. 'Yippee...'
"Okay, I would ask to stay behind me, but something makes me believe that won't work for you will it?" I asked her letting her go and placing my hand on her arm and motioning behind me gently. "Either way I think we'll be fine." I took my free hand and unbuttoned the top of my button up.

One of them got antsy and ran up at me with one arm outstretched forward to grab. As it got close I took the arm in one of mine and twisted it and had his elbow pointed upward and placed my free arm's fore-arm on the elbow pushing down slightly. This kept the others at bay for a minute but I saw more coming so I kicked the guy in the shin making a slight crack which would heal in a month or so, and followed up with a right vertical punch to the faceforcing him to the ground.

I turned my head to the side and asked, "If I can open a door could you get to my car and wait inside it?"

[Jayr Byrne]

Stubborn is as Stubborn does.

The quick yank even lightly left her with the regrettable feeling of being pulled along, like a dog on a leash. She could only figure this guy was after her for the status figure, not because he was legitimately trying to know her. It was quickly analyzed beforehand with his quick hand ready to flash the money expectantly, and all too happy to do it again once he got the reaction he was looking for but Jayr only played so long under that guise. Like all things she followed an ever changing internal clock. Every passing second a person though they knew her she'd shift sending them for the ride of their lives. To a degree it was part of her charm and most people enjoyed it, when they weren't in harms way.

With a coy little smile she grinned still following him with a sick ideal in the back of her head. Approaching upon the guards and over taking one quickly. Though the big strong man handled that himself leading rather than walking in even stride allowing her to be all that she was.

"If I can open a door could you get to my car and wait inside it?"

Here was her moment, "Will you give me the keys?"

A do or die scenario as Mr. Big strong Mcknight could do one of two things, play the hero and fight off the body guards leaving Jayr to take up refuge in the car, or come to terms and share the wealth. But then again Jayr already knew what was bound to happen. The grin she wore shinning brilliantly in the fleeting strobe lights giving each move a drawn out instance.

After I dealt with a second one I felt something on my shoulder, a vice-like grip squeezing hard. I turned and was met with a right to my cheek. 'That'll feel good in the morning.' I thought. He reared up for another strike and I struck him in his solar-plexus and followed up with a kick to his face. "Got to find a way out fast before---" 'Damnit!' I was too occupied with the others I didn't notice the one coming up behind Jayr, "Watch out!" I yelled.

The body guard grabbed her from behind and I could see the smile on his face. "Shit." I silently cursed.

[Jayr Byrne]

Humiliation.

"Watch out!"

The sharp call as he was too preoccupied to deal with Jayr's question, Damn she was really hoping to speed off in his car while she left him here, it'd be like leaving a guy out in the rain with his pants down. Humorous as all things tended to be.

Thats of course when the giant bodyguard took up a sizeable risk in grabbing her. His arms wrapped around her like a bear would do so to kill you. A shriek escaping Jayr's throat but only out of surprise for she'd never expected being groped at a place like this, at least not while she wasn't on the dance floor.

"Oh no you don't!" A snarl rising up in her throat as her hands perpendicular to her body shot back her left hand grabbing the man sharply by the testicles and ripping harshly. She could feel his weight keel over top of her and with a grab for his neck she'd peel the bear over her body and toss his flat on his face reeling in pain.

"Nobody touches me." Her face now settled in a furious state amorous and ready to destroy some shit.

[knightmare13]

I could only catch what she did to the bouncer from the corner of my eye after I had to deal with one of the few guards left. Honestly I wasn't surprised, "Okay, I understand you don't like to be touched, but don't take it too far please." I yelled to her after I kicked one in the chest with a back side kick.

I looked around and tried to find the best way out and saw another coming up. "Behind you, on your right!" I yelled pointing. "Try to make sure he still remembers his name." I said after another came at me.

[Jayr Byrne]

My right or your right?

It didn't matter because of the simple fact that the man at her flank was about the size of a goal post and slowed before having to raise a strike. After seeing his friend toppled shortly before with little effort the man sought fit to keep his manhood from being fed to him. Now as she'd turn around in a slow and purposeful motion Jayr was lit up with a wide smile.

This night had not been particularly great but now it was turning around, the opportunity to fight, to show that she wasn't just some hand maiden to be tossed about was clearly doing wonders for her mood and as the big man leaned forward to smack Jayr across the face she was ready.

Her left shoulder dropping back to catch his throw pulling him farther than his weight could carry and planting her heel into his gut the man went over her body to add to the pile behind her his face splattering the floor with a fresh load of blood before she came up bored again now that he wasn't getting up from that.

"I'm bored can we go now?" she leaned into her him popping some gum in her mouth and chewing without lending him a hand to fight however many large boisterous elites he had to contend with.

[knightmare13]

"I'm bored can we go now?"

I chuckled as she asked me that, 'Only with her type.' I said to myself. One tried to tackle me I just slapped his head and with my free arm snaked it under his and shot it straight up. This caused him to go off balance and since he landed flat on his face it looked like he had little to no training.

I stayed in my stance and looked around to see if anyone was coming. "Looks like it's all clear." I said with a slight grimmace, 'People have their phones out, damnit!' I grabbed her arm a little bit more forcefully than I did before and said, "Let's move." I said taking off and moving straight for my car. Thankfully I kept a spare set of keys, but unfortunately I'm still too much my fathers son, I opened the door for the girl.

"Tell me what I can make this up with on the way." I said as I rushed to my side and turned my car on quickly.

[Jayr Byrne]

Doubt you know my type

It was the simple cut of things, something that people misunderstood is that when they classified people to a type they'd choose to affiliate or simply disagree with them. Something that was perhaps one of the greatest evolutionary flaws in people. It was the masks that held the lie firm, worked as if a wall separating the truth from sight and Jayr wore hers very well. For one her stature was constantly changing, from a confident and strong to a more sensual and giddy woman. With the curvature of her lips and brows she could immaculate a stern or loving expression. Though it wasn't about features that mattered for beneath the masks there was the true Jayr, someone no one would ever be getting, not with the way they "handled her"

"Tell me what I can make this up with on the way."

Something about the tone and the grip as she was short of being shoved into the car. Her eyes rolling and legs crossing in the short dress only revealing a bit more of her upper thigh to which her hand would caress over gently prospecting if she'd hurt her image through the whole night.

"Ice Cream..... I want Ice Cream." She'd say simply, shimmering eyes turned dull and thoughtful as she glared out the window searching for a direction in which was straight and narrow.

[knightmare13]

'Simple enough' I thought as I drove. I got out of the club district of town and drove to a corner store in the city. It was the one owned by the Korean man I saved a while back from some wanabe banger. Yip Sun-Kim, was his name and the guy is one of the few in this entire crazy city that I even remotely consider a friend...yeah, that's not weird.

"Listen, I'm sorry I was rough, I did not mean to do that. Lord knows I was raised better than that." The last part I said low in hopes that she didn't hear that. I stopped infront of Kim's store and turned the car off, "Not Cold stone but you'd never find a better selection." I said after I got out and opened her door.

[Jayr Byrne]

Rough like Rocky Road

Those shimmering Cerulean eyes were still latched to the window as the drive continued something inside her felt eaten away, though the alcohol in her was still present she felt level headed enough to say that it was all her. The slow and steady quiver of her lip before sucking it up and stepping out of the car a carefree woman paying little true mind to his apology. It wasn't so much that she was steadfast against apologies but rather she felt that there was a solution that went unsolved and a great man could've handled things better. Perhaps that was her peeve that rather than being out with a great man she simply hitched up with a random stranger and left her parents without a call or fair warning.

Even staring upon the vat of Ice Cream one could tell there was something up with her, a cold stare as she tried faking the smile that was always present or even a confident stride but rather her head hung low.

"Um do you have Rocky Road, I'd like some of that please." Her strong toned and pig-headed attitude drifting away dismally as she spoke softly.

[knightmare13]

"Yes, we do. Here, I'll go grab you some." He said with a smile and his thick Korean accent. "Ah, Mr. Knight." He said in Korean, "Are you okay?" He asked again in Korean handing her the ice cream,
"Yes," I pulled out my wallet and handed him the money for the ice cream and my Yoo-hoo,
"What happened?" He asked,
"They had cameras." I said in reply in Korean again.
"Don't be upset, you have a nice looking girl with you this time." I couldn't help but chuckle at that,
"If only you know Mr. Kim."

[Jayr Byrne]

I don't speak Korean!

The eyes still cascading to the floor in a cold motion before having the Ice Cream put before her face. Eyes blinking a few times before catching the Korean man's eyes. The sharing of words she couldn't catch on to much less she took effort to understand as she gently took her Ice cream. The slow duck to her head, "Thank you." ushered to the cashier as she carefully shared a glance back to McKnight a moment before shaking herself off to a seat in the corner unconcerned as to whether or not he followed.

"........"

the dull stare at her ice cream for a second letting a spoon poke around displacing the chocolaty mounds that made up the Rocky Road's descending peaks.

"Sorry...." Jayr spoke in a low voice. She never apologized, not lest something was bothering her that was. "I_yeah."

No reasoning meant she was unsure of what she'd done wrong, merely apologizing for the sake of apologizing. His hand danced about at the top of its cold surface before scooping at the sides and sliding the fork in gumming the cold material before unconsciously gnawing on the spoon.

[knightmare13]

'Okay...that's a new one.' I thought as she walked away, "Alright Mr. Kim, I'll be back, I'm gonna go see what's the matter." He nodded his head and I walked over to her. 'Okay, what should I say here?' I thought to myself, 'Apologize, talk to her, ask if something's up?'

I came over and took the seat across from her and sat there quiet for a second. "Are you okay?" I asked finally.

[Jayr Byrne]

Am I?

"Are you okay?"

The question posed at the innocent gumming of the cold substance. Something to which Jayr wasn't even completely sure of herself, whenever these moods came along she felt herself distanced from the world and a bit depressed something to which dancing or even ice cream had been able to solve. A question of being perhaps when she really doubted herself and it felt miserable. Despite always being on top and being the best at every play, every game, every move she made she felt inadequate beneath the force of fate and that somewhere out there she wasn't good enough. Behind the facade she was normal, simple, and human.

"I'm fine..."

Jayr would say quickly having come up with the quick thought in her mind grasping the futility of crying over such things despite the slight watering in her eyes that gaze them a little extra sparkle, she was tired. Today was a long day and she needed to just relax.

"Thank you for everything, but I think I need to be home soon." She'd bat an eye wiping away the corners of her eyes successfully enough not to smear anything.

[knightmare13]

I nodded, "Here, I have to drive you." I said getting up and holding my hand out to her. "Alright Mr.Kim, I'll see you later." I reached into my pocket and pulled out a tissue, I saw the tear, but I'll wait before giving it to her.
