Ryder POV🐯🐯🐯

I look at Bryan and Colton having a wrestling match on the couch while we wait for Anna and I can't help but grin at them. Right now Colton was definitely winning and he had Bryan in a headlock which he was struggling to get out of. 

''Colton let me go you fucking twat'' Bryan gasps for air. I shake my head at them in amusement before I turn around just in time to see Anna come running out before she launches herself on Colton ''Get off him Colton, he could die'' she shrieks and swats Colton on the arm at which point he lets go and gives her a half-smile. 

I am amazed at the way this girl has inserted herself into our little world. Even the stoic Colton now shows more emotion and the boys care for her not just because she was with me but because of who she was. I smile fondly at them and gesture at Anna to come over. She comes and tries and sit next to me on the couch but I pull her onto my lap. God knows I couldn't resist having her as close to me as possible. I snuggle into her while Bryan whispers to Colton as to how much of a whipped bitch I was not, but I couldn't care less, all I wanted was her with me. 

Colton looks over sternly at Anna as she snuggles into my chest ''Listen, Anna at the fight I want you to stay with us, no excuses, do you understand'' 

Anna nods her head vigorously and I can't help but kiss her deeply before we leave. Colton and Bryan both groan and make puking sounds and I flip them the finger while I smile as I kiss her. 

I pull away from her resting my forehead against mine''Right, let's go'' I crack my neck ready for my fight today.

Anna's POV💝💝💝

The crowd was even crazier this week than it was last week but Ryder stayed true to his promise and finished his fight in half-hour with minimal injuries. The way he fought was just amazing, it's like he could read the other fighter's mind and anticipate all his moves. 

Right now we were sitting in his dressing room, while he listened intently to coach talk him through who his next opponent was going to be. I slowly look at my watch and sigh. It was getting to 8:00 pm and my dad had already called twice since he got home. I told him I would be home soon and I felt bad making him wait. 

I nudge Ryder softly and make a pouty face at which point he smiles at me pulls me in for a hug. ''Come on princess let's take you home'' Coach shakes his head at me affectionately and smiles at me ''Anna will you come for dinner tomorrow. Lila wants to meet you and it will be good''

I can't help but get a little stiff, considering what James had told me about Ryder stealing her from him but I just shrug the feeling and nod my head at him. I feel Ryder's gaze on me when he felt me stiffen a bit but he chooses to not say anything. 

Coach looks at his phone as it chimes ''In fact why don't we meet her quickly now. She just pulled up in the parking, she was coming to pick me up, my motorbike won't start'' he smiles wryly at Ryder. 

Ryder chuckles as he shakes his head at Coach ''I'll swing by tomorrow and fix it up before dinner'' He smirks at coach ''Although I have told you a million times that you're too old to be riding a motorbike'' 

Coach just glares at Ryder ''I'm not too old. Now get out of here and be back in for practice tomorrow. Just coz you got a sweet girl I'm not going to let you slack'' 

Ryder smiles at coach and stands up extending his hand out to me. He looks over at coach as I take his hand ''Is she outside?'' 

Coach nods his head ''Yea she was a little hesitant to come here since she could run into James, but when I told her you were here she just came, it's good that she's starting to deal with her fears, I just want her to have a normal life you know'' he smiles softly at Ryder before he continues

''In fact, why don't you both go out say hi, and then be on your way. Anna needs to be home doesn't she?'' I smile gratefully at coach as I wave bye to him and we walk out hand in hand. 

''Do you need to go princess'' Ryder groans into my neck as he leans onto me while we walk outside. 

''Yea I do, you know why... my dad's there but I'll miss you'' He groans and pulls me back into him ''I'll miss you too princess I swear my house felt like was a home again when you were there'' He kisses my nose and we walk out. 

I see a car parked and Ryder gestures to it ''That's her, cmon let me introduce you'' 

As we get closer to the car I see the door open and a girl who I could only define as pure sexy jump out of the car. She had long legs and she looked like a model with her perfect sexy features and her model-like body. She was dressed in a tight short dress and her make-up was on point. She literally looked like a goddess that I couldn't help but drop my mouth. 

This must be Lilah. She looks at Ryder and smiles as she runs towards him at which point he lets go of my hand to hold her as she jumps onto him her legs crossed around his waist 

''I missed you..you promised you'd take me out last weekend and you didn't''

She looks into his eyes just ignoring me. Ryder smiles at her affectionately. It's almost like I didn't exist. I stood there awkwardly as he slowly sets her down and she turns to look at me her eyes cold. In that instant, I knew we weren't going to be friends. Ryder pulls me close to him and kisses my forehead as I smile up at her ''Princess I want you to meet Lilah''

Lilah forces a smile which doesn't even reach her eyes as she reaches out to hug me ''Nice to meet you Anna'' I smile back at her ''Yeah, you too''

Lilah turns back to Ryder and literally inserts herself in between us almost shoving me out of the way. I watch as she pouts at him her perfect breasts sticking out ''Rydderrr... I really missed you this last week, you barely have time for me anymore and the only reason why I came here tonight was so I could see you''

She punches him on the shoulder ''You don't even come over and stay anymore, come back with me tonight, I've been having those nightmares again and I need you '' She looks down with sorrow. 

Ryder immediately lets go of my hand and he pulls her into a hug ''It will get better Lil just remember what the doctor said, it will take time... Look I need to drop Anna off, but we're coming over for dinner tomorrow'' he smiles at her comfortingly. 

Lilah looks back at me and I could swear she would stab me with a knife if she could 

''Alright but ..can you come over tonight, last night I just couldn't stop crying and I know I'm going to have a nightmare tonight. I just need you to hold me, your the only friend I have'' she whimpers one tear rolling out of her eye. 

Ryder looks torn and I want to just punch her in her face. It was so fucking evident what she was doing and considering how possessive Ryder was I should actually poke his eyes out first before pulling her by the hair for letting this girl be all over him. But I controlled my feelings and looked at Ryder to see what he would do, I mean I understood why he felt so strongly about her especially with everything that happened with his mum, but did she have to look like a goddess. I cringe at myself having these thoughts, I should cut this girl a break, considering everything she's been through.  

Ryder hugs her again and then looks back as Coach comes out ''Look Jon's here now go home with him and I'm just going to drop Anna off. If you have a nightmare just give me a call yea ?'' 

Lila looks at him with tortured eyes '' Yea, I mean I'm so sorry, I should have realized that when you took time over the last couple of weeks answering my calls or coming to see me that you want to spend more time with your girlfriend. I'm so sorry ... I should just go'' She steps back almost too slowly waiting for Ryder to stop her

Ryder reaches out and holds her hands in his ''Shh,shh Lilah, no I told you I'll be there, plus Anna understands, she's the most amazing girl I've ever met, she and I were both here for you.''

I swear if Ryder could see what was going through my head at this point he would change his mind about me being amazing. All my thoughts were pure violence and were of me smashing Lilah's head into the curb,  but I still smile at Lilah''Yea Lilah we are here for you'' 

Lilah sighs and goes over to hug coach as we wave goodbye and we walk towards Ryder's bike. 

I get on and I wrap my arms around him as he starts the bike. But before he does it I tilt his head back and kiss him with all the passion and lust that I had in me. I knew it was petty but I knew that bitch was watching and I wanted her to know that this one was mine. I felt bad considering what she had gone through but I had already decided that no one was going to disrespect me anymore...I hear Ryder groan as he deepens the kiss, our tongues twisting together. 

I pull away softly and he smiles at me ''The things you do to me baby, I swear you drive me crazy'' I smile and hug him tightly as he takes off but not before I make eye contact with Lilah who glares at me as coaches car pulls away.
