It was one thing for him… and his date to get bombarded by Quinn fcking Castillo on stage - and trust Ricky, he would deal with that Asshat very fcking soon. It was another thing, however, to deal with Blue Royalty only adding fuel to the endless fcking fire that had become his life… due to, in part, both his own idiocracy and blue royalty reveals. It was instantaneous the way that same the people who were intently watching both Ricky and Annie soon shifted their attention to their phones with the chimes of one device after another - indicating only one thing: A Blue Royalty Post. And similar to the masses, Ricky watched as Annie did the exact same. Though he couldn’t blame her - but her movements only motivated him to pull his phone out as well and skim the message.
His frown deepened at the second line - threatening Annie - and after quickly skimming the rest of the post, three other items stood out to him. A mention of Diego, himself, and Isabella - though he didn’t really get a chance to actually read anything before he noticed Annie moving. He, of course, put the device down and blocked her - yet again. What was a man to do when his date was ignoring him? Well, go after her, of course. Though clearly, she was pushing him away - her words made that very clear, and honestly, he was frustrated. “Oh stop it, Annie. Stop the fcking bullsht of pushing me away every fcking time something gets hard.” Ricky got out, looking at her in her eyes as she told him she wasn’t going anywhere with him. If she thought he was going to back down that easily, she was wrong. Rolling his eyes at her next words, Ricky put his hand on her cheek, moving her head so she had to look him in the eyes. “Well that’s too fcking bad, Annie, because I’m not leaving. You saying this sht doesn’t fcking scare me away, so get out of your damn head, and let me take you where you want to go. And trust me, out of everyone in this stupid room, I don’t pity you. Anyone who does is a fcking idiot because you’re too damn strong to be pitied.” His words were a low whisper - only for her to hear as the others clearly were too distracted in reading a post that he barely skimmed - but honestly, at the current moment, he had bigger priorities and while punching Castillo was currently very high on that list, it wasn’t at the top.
