RICHARD'S POV
Without thinking twice or thinking about what the outcome will be, I stood up from my seat and ran outside to meet up with Vanessa. Taking hold of her hand, I turned her to me to see the surprise on her face and the next thing I knew was her hand meeting my face: she slapped me.
I didn't flinch because I know I’ll still get kicked too and I don't care, all I want right now is to clear all this between us.
