Back home from shopping

Kayla smiled as Stuart slowed the car as they approached the front entrance to their apartment. She'd been right that he needed to get out of the flat, and whilst he hadn't been overly enthused about the shopping he'd enjoyed lunch to the extent that he'd actually started stringing words into sentences and at times even turning those into paragraphs.

"I'll get the flat open whilst you park up" she told him as she jumped out of the car. Oh for the luxury of having a parking space in front of their home rather than a short walk away.

With the front door unlocked and burglar alarm switched off Kayla headed back outside to help her boyfriend. From across the car park she saw Stuart struggling to remove the bags of shopping from the car, completely unaware that Jason was approaching him. Kayla paused, wanting to see if their knew found friendship had survived to the day after the barbeque.

"Need a hand with those bags?" asked Jason, making Stuart jump "they look awfully, awfully heavy"

Stuart glared at him. "Haven't you got anything better to do? I'm really not in the mood"

"Ooooh" replied Jason sarcastically "I like this new feisty side Stuey-boy. And there was me thinking you and your sister had nothing in common"

"Don't you dare bring my sister into this!" But all his threat did was cause Jason to grin even more. "If you lay a single finger on her you'll get.... you'll get what's coming to you"

"Well based on how she was the other day it's me that should be worrying about where she's laying her fingers"

"You're lying... you're full of shit... you're always full of shit" stammered Stuart as he struggled to process Jason's statement.

"Well maybe I'll give her a call and see if she's free this afternoon. Based on how much she enjoyed round one I reckon she'll be up for it" taunted Jason "and between you and me Stuey-boy, when I say up for it I mean she'll be up for pretty much anything"

Even from across the car park Kayla could see the rage building in her boyfriend. With the last comment proving too much Stuart swung at Jason with all the **** he could muster. But he lacked the element of surprise, as Jason simply caught Stuart's fist in his hand. Slowly Jason extended his arm pushing Stuart backwards, the only thing stopping him toppling over being that Jason continued to firmly grasp him.

As Stuart struggled to avoid falling undignifiedly to the floor Kayla couldn't help notice the difference between the pair of them. Jason strong and in control, his muscles rippling in the afternoon sun as he towered above her **** and weak boyfriend. She knew she should step in to break them up, that's what a good girlfriend would do...
