Chapter 695 Getting Beaten Up
Ronnie was usually the life of the party, always cracking jokes, but that didn't mean he was some heartless robot.
When he got hurt, he felt it just like anyone else.
His face suddenly got serious, eyes sharp. "My wife's future ain't your business!"
Juniper was already fuming, and him snapping at her just made it worse. "Yeah, I got no right to pity you, and I got nothing to do with you. I never wanna see you again."
She blew up and reached for the door.
Ronnie grabbed her arm, "What the hell are you doing?"
"Doing? You're the one who's nuts! Let me outta this car, or I'm calling the cops. Ronnie, you jerk, let go of me!" Juniper's fists came down on him like a hurricane. "I'll beat you to a pulp, you bastard! It's either you or me today! I'm gonna kill you!"
Juniper was raging, hitting and cussing at the same time.
The sports car was tiny, and Ronnie had nowhere to hide. Plus, Juniper was like a wildcat, and he couldn't handle her. She fought dirty.
That's why girl fights are the worst; they punch, slap, and even yank hair.
"Oh my God! Not the hair! I got gel in it. My hairstyle!" Ronnie yelped in pain.
He tried to grab her wrists, but she was too quick.
Juniper went at him for a solid ten minutes, her face red and neck veins popping, leaving Ronnie bruised all over.
His hair was a mess, and his face had red scratches. Who knew how many punches he took.
Getting beat up by a girl! How pathetic!
Ronnie groaned, "Damn it... You go nuts when you hit people. Don't you know how important a hairstyle is? Fuck! I rely on my looks! If you mess it up, can you pay for it? How can someone so small hit so hard? Did you take boxing lessons? I'm not your punching bag!"
"You deserve it! If I had a knife right now, I'd cut off your junk, believe it or not," Juniper spat out.
Ronnie suddenly felt a chill down there.
Damn, that's cold!
Ronnie tried to calm her down, "Let's talk this out. Promise me, no matter what, you can't touch it. It's innocent."
"Innocent? It's the root of all evil. It deserves to be cut off. Then everything will be peaceful."
Ronnie joked, "How can you be so heartless? What good does it do to cut it off? In the end, you'll be the one suffering. How miserable would it be to marry me without a sex life?"
"Looks like I haven't hit you enough." Juniper raised her fist again.
But this time, Ronnie was quicker and grabbed her wrists. "Don't hit."
Juniper sneered and headbutted him.
Ronnie yelled, "Fuck! Again! How's your head so hard?"
Ronnie thought, 'What kind of woman headbutts people over a fight? Damn, this's the first time I meet someone like this. She says she's a woman, but where's the femininity? I'm almost in tears here.'
"Is your head made of iron? It hurts!"
Juniper mocked, "Serves you right!"
Juniper didn't feel any pain.
She was just super pissed!
"What did I do? I just kissed you once! It's not like it was your first kiss."
Juniper laughed angrily. "Just 'cause it wasn't my first kiss, you think you can kiss me? By that logic, does that mean my first time can be taken advantage of by you?"
"Where's that coming from? Chill out! Bullying's illegal, you know?"
Besides, he wouldn't go that far.
Juniper wasn't buying it. Hearing him was like listening to a stand-up routine. No, it was a hundred times funnier. "That day at the hotel, when you forced me, weren't you all high and mighty? Saying no one could control you, not even the law."
Yeah, that was true.
But wasn't he scared now?
Ronnie was practically whining. "That was then. I just kissed you once, maybe hugged you. Didn't think you'd blow up like this."
He knew she had a temper, but this was next level...
"I curse you!" Juniper spat out.
"Alright, alright, my bad this time. I'm sorry. I'll be a good boy from now on, promise. Just forgive me this once. I really know I messed up."
Juniper shot back, "I wanna break up with you!"
"No way. I'd rather take a beating. If you ignore me, I'll die. My heart's already in pieces."
Juniper rolled her eyes. So annoying!
The worst are those who apologize after screwing up. His sorry didn't mean squat, and not everything could be fixed with an apology, especially not with Juniper.
"Get lost! Don't be so shameless."
"I'll bug you forever." Ronnie clung to Juniper's arm, his head still on her shoulder.
"Get off!" Juniper tried to shove his big head away, but it was like it was glued there, driving her nuts.
Ronnie threatened, "If you don't forgive me, I'm not letting go."
"You..."
No point in yelling at someone with no shame.
"Forgive me, Juniper..." Ronnie never thought he'd be this desperate for love. If his buddies saw this, he'd never live it down.
While hating himself, he kept acting cute and shamelessly begging for forgiveness.
Juniper was out of options. "Alright, I forgive you."
Ronnie's face lit up. "Really?"
"Does it matter if I don't? Do I have to keep being pestered by you? I'm afraid I might actually chop your head off."
"I knew you couldn't stay mad at me." Ronnie grinned like a kid.
That face really needed a punch.
Juniper warned, "But you gotta promise, no more kissing me."
"Okay, I promise I'll only kiss you with your permission."
Juniper shot back, "You won't get the chance."
"Opportunities are earned. I'll get one." Ronnie was full of confidence. He wasn't just after kisses and hugs; he wanted more.
Ronnie added, "As a peace offering, I'll treat you to a big meal."
"I'm so grossed out by you, how can I even think about food? I can't eat. I'm nauseous."
"So you wanna cook noodles for me? Even better. I'm thrilled."
"In your dreams." Juniper pulled out a tissue and wiped her mouth furiously.
Ronnie asked, "Do you have to be so disgusted by me?"
"Absolutely!" Juniper snapped. "Who knows how many girls you've kissed with that mouth. It's like indirect kissing." She shuddered, her cleanliness freak flag flying high.
A more terrifying thought suddenly hit her.
