The Broken Warrior's Daughter



Chapter 0473

"Then just go find someone whose parents don't care if you date them." She says.

"I don't want to date anyone else. I want to date you." I tell her.

She throws up her hands and walks away, leaving me standing there watching her once again.

Throughout the rest of the day, I learn the true meaning of 'cold shoulder". If she didn't have to speak to me in class, she didn't. If she does, she uses the smallest number of words possible to answer me. By the end of the day, I'm frustrated.

I'm thankful that we have training this afternoon and I'm set to spar with her again. However, when I get there, I see that she is paired up with her father. I'm not sure if that was his doing or hers, but I leave it be for today. After training, Donovan and I go for a run, but Andra isn't out tonight.

The next day starts out much the same. By Chemistry, I've had enough.

"Lily, stop this. All I want is to get know you. I'm sorry I went to Anders to help me with your father, but there is no reason for him to black me taking you on a date."

She's not looking at me. She's staring at our test tube as I'm putting the ingredients into it. I see a frown form on her face before she looks back at her chemistry book.

"Dammit Lily, why can't you just give me a chance?" I'm whisper yelling since we're in class.

"Clint, I think you put too much..."

I cut her off. "Lily, I don't give a shit about this. Please just look at me and talk to me!" I say, but as I watch her eyes go wide. I turn my attention back to the test tube, just as the red liquid explodes all over me.

I'm stunned. I have no idea what I was doing, or why this exploded. But suddenly, I hear the most beautiful sound I've heard in days, Lily's laughter. I wipe my eyes and look at her. She's bent over at the waist, not even trying to hide her mirth. It's contagious and I begin laughing as well, looking down at my ruined clothes.

Our teacher comes over looking at me. "Well, Mr. Nelson, this is what happens when you don't pay attention in class." I can hear Lily snickering until he walks away, and she again bursts out laughing.

She grabs a towel and begins wiping off my face. I stand still, thankful that she's at least touching me and enjoying the laughter and happiness on her face.

When she finally looks at me, I can't help but smile. She's so beautiful. She has stopped laughing but her lips are still twitching. "1 hate to tell you, but I think your skin will be tinged red for a while."

I take her hips in my hands, pulling her closer to me. "Please forgive me, Lily. I don't like you not talking to me. I don't like you angry with me."

She sighs but doesn't pull away. "I'm still not happy, but I forgive you. Honestly, my father seems over the top about it all. I'm not sure what his reasoning is, but he's agreed to let me go out with you. But I'll say it again. Try anything with me..."

I cut her off. "Trust me, my balls still hurt. Your knees are deadly. I just want to get to know you, Lily. And I want you to get to know me. Not Clint the flirt, or Clint the Guardian, just Clint the man."NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

She smiles softly, "Fine. Andra's been whining about missing yesterday with Donovan. She's quite smitten with your wolf."

I feel Donovan pushing forward, and I know my green eyes are rimmed with gold. "And I am quite smitten with her." Donovan

says.

Lily's eyes darken as Andra pushes forward. "Can we train this evening?" She asks him.

"Yes, little wolf." He says and kisses her nose. Immediately, Lily pulls Andra back, looking around the room quickly. I'd forgotten we were in class, but no one seems to be paying attention, worried their test tube might explode like ours did.

"Behave, Donovan." She whispers before I can pull him back. I smile down at her and watch her blush at my attention before she pulls out of my hands. She turns and begins to clean up the mess I made.

"Do you know what I did wrong?"

"Yes, you weren't paying attention which can be dangerous in Chemistry. You're lucky it wasn't something acidic!"

She's talking to me again and she's agreed to train with Donovan. I'd suffer the embarrassment or even the pain of acid any day if

that's what it takes. She's worth it.
