Richard's POV:
"I ...uh..I really don't know what to say, thank you very much"
I smiled to myself as I remembered, Kristen's reaction when I told her I have bought the wedding dress for her, even though it kinda makes me feel sad seeing Kristen in that dress, with her beautiful smile, marrying another guy.
But who am I kidding? Kristen has never been mine and she will never be mine. But I'm glad I can at least make her feel special and happy.
I couldn't sleep last night,I had a lotof things to think of because the first thing I'm gonna take care of now is gonna be Kyle. He had to be punished really hard.
I sighed and ran my hand through my hair,even the thought of him makes my blood boiling and I suddenly wanna beat up someone very hard, But I gotta be patient.
I HAVE to be patient till I get to him, After that well... we'll see...
I heard the microwave beep, and that's when I remembered that I have put some pinecakes into the microwave. Since I couldn't sleep much last night, I decided to come down early into the kitchen and make some breakfast for the two of us.
Kristen must be still asleep, because she hasn't made a sound since yesterday night, it was nearly midnight when we got back home. I was not that sleepy because I have slept somehow on the plane on our way home. But Kristen looked very tired. So I told her to get to sleep right after we got home. Of course after teasing her about it.
Usually I don't wake her up, since we were not that best of friends, but today I don't wanna wake her up, because I want her to get as much sleep as she can.
"hmmm... What's that smell?"
Suddenly I got startled and the coffee I was pouring burnt my hand, Jeez can she be any more hideous?
I glared at her and rolled my eyes.
"God, it hurts!" I said quietly,And stared at my hand. I felt small hands holding my hand and leading me towards the sink, Kristen put my hand under the cold water, after about ten seconds I felt myself sighing in relief.
I don't know if it was her hands, or the cold water. But I felt better and more at peace.
I stared at her for the first time today, and of course she was beautiful as always, She smiled sadly at me, and she was still holding my hands in her hands, and in front of the sink under the cold water, which now gave me chills.
I removed my hands and smiled back at her.
"Thank you" I said, but it was more like moaning .
" You're welcome" she mumbled and nodded her head " so... what do we have here? Richard cooking ,I admit the smell is good"
I motioned for her to sit down and she obeyed, I sat down on the opposite chair from her. I stared at Kristen the entire time we had breakfast, don't get me wrong but I wanted to know if she liked the food.
Kristen just smiled whenever she ate from a plate. I was dying to hear her comment, but she just kept eating and not saying a word.
"You should have your breakfast, it's getting cold you know" She said and resumed eating, I just took a sip from my coffee, I didn't feel like eating.
Kristen finished eating and complimented my cooking skills, which earned a huge grin out of me. She just chuckled at my ridiculousness, and went to get dressed for school.
I washed the dishes, and busied myself in the kitchen, I wanted to kill some time, and right after Kristen went to school, I grabbed my car keys, and went to Kyle's house.
I stood in front of the door, and knocked a few times, I didn't yell his name or anything because I didn't want him to run away or hide himself.
I knocked again, but there was no one opening the door, after about 10 minutes of waiting, and knocking still no sound and sight of Kyle, that asshole!
I sighed in frustration and checked my watch, it was 9:10 AM and today was Monday, is he in college? Then I remembered that He doesn't have any classes on Mondays, since he was my so called best friend. Of course I had to remember all of that.
I kept thinking where he could be at this moment?
What would I do if I was in Kyle's shoes? I thought of all the places he liked to go.
If I was Kyle and it was Monday, I would be playing soccer with my friends, that's it!
I ran to my car and drove fast towards Kyle's favorite place, now he either is watching soccer or playing soccer. I hoped he be alone. so that I could punch him with all my heart.
When I arrived at the open field, I waited in my car, and narrowed my eyes. Looking for Kyle among the soccer players from afar.
There he is, blond hair, shooting the ball. I tried to know the number on the back of his top. So that I wouldn't lose his stupid ass. Then I saw the number, he is number seven.
I looked around and noticed many people were in that place, they were all cheering and clapping.And most of them were guys.
"shit!" I mumbled, this is definitely not the right time for giving him a lesson, but since I have taken the day off to teach Kyle a lesson, I would wait.
So I waited and waited, until the soccer game was over, obviously team Kyle has won the game, since they were all hugging and patting Kyle on the back, yikes.
Eventually most of the players were not around and the place was kinda empty, I grabbed the hard long iron I have brought with myself and got out of the car.
As I got nearer to where Kyle was standing with a guy, I could hear some of their conversation.
"You're always the best, man"
"Thanks bro, you guys did great too"
I was getting nearer to them, so I put the arm that was holding the iron behind my back ina na ttamept to hide it.
"Congratulations, Kyle" I said calmly, Kyle turned around with a huge smile on his face, but when he saw me his smile dropped.
"well, well, well, look who is here to watch my game, my best friend, my soul mate, Richard" He said bitterly.
"I'm not your best friend anymore you jackass, the only reason you're still here playing your god damned game, and not in some cold jail, is because of Kristen" I said, Kyle just chuckled and stared at his friend who was staring at both of us, wondering what the hell was going on. Kyle stared at his friend and smiled.
" This is how Richard usually greets me, can you give us a second? I'll call you when I get home" Kyle told his friend, his friend's reaction softened and he soon left.
Which means it's just the two of us alone, this is what I was looking for.
"So, what do you want?" Kyle asked and spit on the ground.
Instead on answering her, I walked closer to him slowly, until my mouth was near his ear.
" I want you to pay for what you did" I whispered and beat him once with the hard iron in my hand, he was soon on the ground and groaning in pain.
He was rolling his back on the ground, while clutching his stomach.
"Son.. of.. a ..bitch" he mumbled, I rolled my eyes at the nerve of this guy, and hit where it hurts the most, with the iron still in my hand. His hands now were holding his thingy , and he was still groaning.
I let go of the metal, and sat down on the ground beside Kyle, then I put both my hands around his neck, gritting my teeth, he deserves the worst.
Kyle's eyes has widened, as he was trying to breathe, but I didn't let him go, I wanted him to suffer.
As I saw how panicked Kyle was, because he thought I will actually kill him, I felt good, because I was thinking of Kristen, I wonder how much she has suffered , was she scared? Did she feel lonely? I wanted Kyle to feel all the feelings Kristen has felt.
But then I had to let go, as I let go Kyle kept coughing, he was kinda breathless, so he was breathing fast.
"Don't... act... innocent" Kyle said and smirked " You're no different... than... me "
I felt my blood boiling as he said those words, he knew what drives me crazy and he said it.
I may not be a gentleman, but I'm definitely not Kyle, I might be sleeping with every girl I lay my hands on, but I won't rape them. But I have changed, I have a girl I love, and being in love has changed me, to the better, I have a girl to protect. Kristen has changed me and I'm proud of who I am now. Even if the current Richard is not the best Richard, I still am proud of myself.
"Don't even compare yourself to me" I hissed and punched Kyle on the face, I heard his nose break, good. I was now on top of Kyle, throwing punch after punch at him. Of course Kyle fought back, so he rolled us over, so that he was the one on top, and he threw quite good punches at me too.866Please respect copyright.PENANAsZYf8ogHwD
