106 I am Here

"Hey! What did you do!"

Jerlina heard the shout of her Uncle Pat as she placed her hand on her cheek. Her mouth was ajar and her eyes clouded as she realized what happened just then.

Gerard slapped me in the cheek!

"Jer... I... I didn't mean...I'm sor-"

"Step back!" she heard the shout of Charlie followed by a loud bang.

"Missy, are you okay? Kolya, bring ice!" her uncle Pat's warm hand held her hand and he checked her cheek. 

She heard the shouts of her company employees and Charlie's cussing.

"You mother*cker! I thought you couldn't get any lower... But hitting the woman you claim to love? That's...a  f*cking stupid thing to do in front of me... Pick a fight with someone your size, s*ssy...Come on!"

She quickly wiped her eyes and saw Charlie pinning Gerard on the hood of his car. Gerard tried to struggle out of his hold and the dust raised from the ground. But his upper body was pinned strongly by Charlie.
