Book excerpt
. . . The staggered, blond frat bro’s eyes widened. He pretended that he was surprised, but . . . Alex knew. She knew all too well what this was. The guy wanted to provoke Richard, to embarrass him. It would be four against one if Richard stood up for her. Alex was getting angry. “Excuse me?” the staggered, blond frat bro said. “Are you talking to me, tough guy?” The pr**k did his best to stand upright and oh-so proud. “Look,” Richard said, “We’re not looking for any trouble. We’re just finishing our meal, and we’ll be on our way. Ok?” Richard was doing all he could. He was handling things just right. But Alex knew. It didn’t matter. This punk thinks he sees weakness, and he would keep pushing and keep taunting Richard until something bad happened. Alex was having a good time and, unexpectedly, connecting with a nice guy. Now, this little pr**k was going to ruin it. “Oh, you’ll be on your way all right.” The staggered, blond frat bro leaned forward toward Richard. He set his beer on the table, put both palms on the table, and leaned in. “You wanna’ step outside, tough guy? Huh?” That was it. Alex had had enough of this a**hole. With her right hand, she reached for the staggered, blond frat bro’s right hand. She grabbed his wrist tightly and pulled hard as she rose to her feet. She pulled his arm so hard that he began falling forward. Before he could react, Alex was on her feet, and her left hand was on the back of his neck. She continued to pull with her right arm and push downward with her left hand. The staggered, blond frat bro’s face slammed into Richard’s rocky road ice cream with a loud crash. Before he even knew anything had happened, the staggered, blond frat bro was on his knees, ice cream all over his face, with his right arm twisted up behind his back in a most painful way. He began to whimper. “Yo, bi**h,” one of the other frat bros said. “What the hell? Let him go.” “Stay back,” Alex warned. By this time, everyone was watching what was happening. There were two large bouncers at the door. They had just begun their shift when the commotion started. As they made their way toward Alex, she told the staggered, blond frat boy to tell his friends to stay back. “Tell them,” she said. She lifted his arm higher. He squealed. “Stay back! Stay back!” The bouncers arrived. . .
