Part Six

/Catherine./ (Part Six)

I can't say I have seen many fights or even been around them but that's just the catholic upbringing I suppose. But tonight I saw Jyn fully embrace that lioness side she often mentions she is I was terrified of it. She was so strong and quick I didn't even realize what was happening at first but perhaps it was my fault. I should have walked away sooner but I didn't wanna be rude I thought she would listen to me and leave me alone. Even as I sit at our table I'm feeling my legs shake and I'm nervously looking towards the bathroom hoping everything is okay. I could have stopped her but that look in her eyes terrified me, uncertainty about this date is filling up inside me.

It took a few more minutes but she came back to our table and I noticed she didn't look the least bit disheveled. She didn't have blood on her hands it was like she was in a one-sided beating I couldn't stop myself with so many emotions rising.

Catherine; " Did.....You hurt her bad?"

Jyn; " Not terribly no."

Catherine; " Jyn...Is that a part of you?... The violence I mean."

Jyn; " It's in my blood Cat, I told you about my family it wasn't an exaggeration. Besides, I did tell you I was a lioness I gave her a fair warning she didn't listen."

I was afraid of this side of her but I was also seeing how bad this event was affecting her. I'm sure she's been showing restraint this entire night I can see it in her hands the way they shake. I wanted to back out but I also couldn't just leave her like this I'm sure there's more to her than this. So I slid out from my side taking her hand because I wanted to guide her to the dance floor to bring her back to our date. I can see how she's worried about this so I wanna ease that away if possible.

Catherine; " Come on Jyn you owe me a dance."

Jyn; " Ha...That's part of a date after all."

Catherine; " Yeah we are still on a date."

Those words of hers came out like a question like she was confirming I still wanted this. It hurts to see her so down on herself like this, I don't approve of what she did but I understand also I think. We managed to salvage the night at least and we danced holding each other slowly I could see her coming back to me. She was smiling at least and with her so close I could see down her corset where my eyes seemed to longer the most. I couldn't help it not the heat in my cheeks from what I was doing, this is so shameless of me but she sparks it inside me.

As we danced I figured the rest of our date would go smoothly but then the police came in. This could only mean that woman wasn't done trying to ruin our night, I tried to let her know by whispering that we should leave but she didn't budge. She just took my hand leading me to our table as the police officers came over to us, that's when she finally took notice of them. Another side of Jyn was emerging now someone in control like what she was dealing with was business. I couldn't believe how much of her was being revealed in a single night which leaves me wondering how bad is her family.

Officer Bradley; " Miss I'm gonna have to ask you to come with me down to the station."

Jyn; "I will be down in the morning you two are dismissed."

Officer; " Miss you can come down peacefully or we can take you out in handcuffs."

She didn't bother responding but I could see the irritation on her face. Then she pulled out her cell phone to make a call I don't know what she was doing. But when she gave the phone over to the officer his face went pale leaving me with many questions. After they handed the phone back both hurried out of the bar with the woman who made the call it seems. Now I'm just left here starting at her blankly trying to understand what exactly just happened.

Jyn; " Not tonight Cat lets leave and go somewhere else. Unless you wanna just call it here, this night has been horrible and I apologize for that. Perhaps if you give me another chance ill make the next date better."

Catherine; " We'll the date wasn't all bad Jyn just unfortunate circumstances. How about you take me home and you can cook me breakfast in the morning. That will make up for the bad things of tonight."

She gave me a smile which meant we both were on board with this idea. I couldn't explain why I suggested that but I know I didn't want her to be alone tonight, she had a shadow of sadness lingering on her eyes. This date meant a lot to her I can see that and I did enjoy my time with her. I just wish she wasn't so mysterious maybe I'll be able to ask her about everything that happened tonight.
