Weak in the Knees Ch. 05

... afterward was a stark contrast to the business-like and almost angry way he had manhandled Daniel.

He could hear Daniel yelling from the other side of the door that Brielle had the keys to the car and smiled smugly on his way back to the table. Aspen had already gotten Brielle sitting down, while Elias and Diego got Zach into one of the chairs as well. Brielle only had a split lip, but Zach's face was a different story. One of his eyes would definitely turn black, his lip was split in two different places, his chin was bruised, as was his cheek, and he had bleeding wounds on most of those areas as well as his nose was bleeding.

Aspen handed an ice pack to Brielle while Elias grabbed the first aid kit to start working on Zach. Diego assessed the damage to his boyfriend judiciously and suggested that they get him to a doctor and possibly even file a report with the police.

"You're an idiot," Elias said to Zach as he grabbed two tampons from Aspen's purse and stuck them up Zach's nose where he deposited them to stop the bleeding.

"You heard what he said!" Zach cried.

"Right, and I also know he was goading you," Elias added. "And you took the bait like you always do. He could try to go to the police and say you started it. You technically threw the first punch. And he's right, you need a doctor, mostly to make sure nothing got broken."

He didn't fall into a great crowd after you, and that's eaten away at him. Plus, I think he's bitter over everything that's happened, especially since you two got married."

"What do you want to do?" Aspen asked Brielle. "I know some real shark divorce attorneys."

Elias gave her a look but she just smiled at him. Brielle, though, nodded her head slowly. "Get me those names. That's not who I want to have children with."

Brinxton, standing behind his sister and out of her sight, pumped his closed fist in a gesture that clearly demonstrated his feelings on the matter. Elias couldn't help but smirk at him, though he tried to hide it from Brielle by focusing on Zach again.

Brielle looked over at where Zach was, the hard expression on her face softening. "Go to the hospital, you oaf. And make a report. He said something so inflammatory towards your daughter, who just got kidnapped recently, and it is normal to have responded the way you did. You both went into the fight knowing that he knows how to press your buttons and that you aren't as strong as him now."

That last part made Zach look over at where she was. Most of the time, Zach ...
