“I’ll show you a crazy little cunt.” Meggie stood her ground and landed a fist in Kendall’s mouth, then shoved her with all her might.
Kendall careened into Johnnie and toppled both of them.
Breathing hard, Meggie held her stomach, where she’d taken a lot of blows, and limped forward. Before she made it out of Kendall’s reach, she grabbed Meggie’s leg and pulled her down.
Another surge of adrenalin, and the instinct to survive, protect,win, made Meggie hop to her feet.
Kendall started to stand.
Takingass kickingfor real, Meggie kicked Kendall right in hers. If her ass had been bare, Meggie’s toes probably would’ve gotten caught in Kendall’s butt crack. That’s how accurate it was.
Still, it didn’t deter Kendall. She crawled to her feet. Remembering the pro fights she’d watched with Christopher, Meggie got into a fighter’s position, so sick of Kendall’s meanness she just wanted to erase it.
“Mommie, please stop!”
At CJ’s sob, Christopher walked into the middle of the fight, pushing Kendall aside and grabbing Meggie.
“Motherfucker!” Kendall screamed because Christopher pushed her harder than necessary and she sprawled onto the floor again.
Meggie struggled against Christopher’s hold. “Let me go, Christopher!” she demanded. “I’m going to kill her.”
“Come on, cunt,” Kendall taunted from the floor. She positioned herself to lunge “Try it! I fucking dare you.”
Meggie broke free of Christopher’s grasp, and punched Kendall on the side of the head. Suddenly, Digger grabbed Kendall as Christopher grabbed Meggie again.
“If you ever set foot on club grounds again, I’m going to beat your miserable ass with a bat,” Meggie snarled, burning with rage and disappointment and a deep hurt. “How dare you think you can treat CJ any kind of way? Call him horrible names. What do you do to your own kids? You’re such a poor excuse for a human being. My God, you’re lower than low.”
“You can’t bar me from the club, bitch,” Kendall retorted. “Only a member can.”
“The hell I can’t, cow,” Meggie shot back. “If Christopher wants inthereeveragain, he’ll see to it you’re never on the grounds again.”
“Now wait a fuckin’ minute, Megan,” Christopher growled. “Shit gettin’ the fuck out of hand. This bitch pissin’ you off so much, she messin’ with the business of my cock.”
Meggie elbowed Christopher in the gut. “You’ve already messed with the business of your cock,” she fumed, thinking of how he’d been treating her most of last night and all day today.
“You’re such a manipulative little bitch,” Kendall shouted, drawing Meggie’s attention again. “I’ve known all along you hated me.”
“I didn’t before, whiner. Now, I do. Don’t fuck with my man and don’t fuck with my children.” Meggie didn’t know where those words were coming from. She didn’t use bad language. But, maybe, they were dredged from the same place as her need to pummel Kendall into the ground. “Tonight, you fucked with both, bitch.”
“Megan, stop with the cussin’,” Christopher ordered. “That ain’t you and I don’t like it.”
“Yes, little cock servant, do what your master tells you,” Kendall taunted before Meggie could respond to Christopher.
At Kendall’s words, Meggie struggled to free herself. Digger lost his hold on Kendall and she rushed to Meggie. Before Christopher had a chance to tighten his hold or protect her, Meggie escaped him, met Kendall in the middle of their ring, and punched her so hard, she knocked her out.
“Kendall!” Johnnie yelled, rushing forward so she wouldn’t hit her head on the floor. He kneeled down and cradled her head. Bloody pieces of Kleenex hung from each of his nostrils. Gently, he laid her head on the floor, stood, and glared at Meggie. “Megan, I should shake the fuck out of you.”
“Johnnie, I already shot the fuck outta you once,” Christopher reminded him. “You shake my woman, I might accidentally throw your cunt on concrete and break every fuckin’ bone in her body.”
Stomping to Johnnie, Meggie shoved him. She was done. Past done. “Kendall is never allowed near my children again. She’s not allowed on the grounds. She’s not allowed toblinkat CJ. She’s a horrible, evil bitch.”
“Because of CJ?” Johnnie gasped, his swelling nose squeaking. “She’s an adult and your child disrespects her all the fucking time.”
“Oh, shut up, asshole,” Megan commanded. “Kendall can walk all over you for the rest of your miserable life, but she better notever,never,evermess with my children or my husband ever again. Am I clear?”
A few heartbeats went by, then his eyes widened. He turned sheet-white, shell-shocked by Meggie’s vehemence.
His anger deflated. “You’re clear, sweetheart.”
