A door is pushed open. “Did you say ole lady?” A small girl around my height and very pregnant walks into the room.
Knight looks at her, his eyes lighting up. I want to sigh with the look on his face; he is in love. “I’m Meghan.” I hold my hand out for her to shake, the hand that doesn’t have the burn.
She looks at my other hand that is outstretched. “Ouch, that is a nasty burn.”
Terror smirks, arms crossed. “See, I told you it needed medical attention,” he quips, and I laugh loudly.
I don’t tease him anymore about it. I just sit back and let Knight bandage up my hand then I make him take care of Terror.
The woman sidles up to me. “My name is Danielle; this is my old man.”
Knight chuckles at her calling him old man. “You just change it daily and you will heal up soon,” he tells the both of us, handing Terror the jar of cream.
“It’s nice to meet you both.” My heart is warming at knowing that he has good friends around him.
He helps me off the table, taking my good hand. “It’s nice to meet you, too,” Danielle tells me with a smile, rubbing her swollen stomach. “Your time is near, yes?” I ask her, my hands itching to touch her stomach.
She must notice. “Want to feel?” she asks and I nod, setting my hand on her stomach. Not a moment passes before I feel the baby moving inside her tummy.
“What a beautiful thing to have, a life growing inside of you,” I tell her, my heart warm at the idea of someday getting to experience this.
“I’m going to introduce her to the others.” Terror leads me out of the room and into the larger part of the warehouse that I can see, it’s like a living room of sorts.
I see a man standing near the TV with a little girl, who is looking through movies. He turns to look at us approaching. “This is Royal and his daughter, Penny,” Terror tells me, and I bend down to her level. “It’s very nice to meet you, Penny.” I smile at her.
She gives me a grin showing where she is missing a tooth in the front; she is absolutely precious.
Royal pats the top of her head. “It’s nice to meet you, Meghan,” he says, and Terror tucks me tighter into his side like he is trying to tell everyone that I’m there with him.
There is no denying that I like the fact that he wanted others to know that I’m there with him.
I look at Royal who I can tell is a doting dad, and an idea hits me. I suck in my lips trying not to smile.
“Royal, do you happen to be single?” I ask and Terror looks at me with wide eyes. Royal takes a step back like he is afraid of what I’m going to say.
I laugh. “Listen, I have a friend, she comes into the diner almost daily for lunch. She is beautiful, Royal.”
I don’t know why I’m so forward about this, this is not like me. Terror chuckles and my face burns because right now I sound like his mother.
“I’m very sorry, that was really forward of me,” I state. “I’m not sure why I said that.”
Terror laughs. “No, I think it’s a good idea. I know who you’re talking about.” His face turns serious. “Don’t be like me and wait for three months; that part I fucked up.” He looks at me at the last part.
I smile and look down at my feet, liking that he regretted waiting so long to meet me. Royal stares at Terror then at me. “Will she be there tomorrow?” he asks, and I grin. “Yes, she will.”
He gives me a nod and walks off, leaving us alone. I cover my mouth trying to hide my excitement. “I’m getting as bad as your mother,” I joke and he laughs loudly at that.
Soon after being introduced to everyone at the club, we are now at Terror’s house. I’m in love with it.
This is a dream home.
It’s decorated in all leather furniture, stainless steel appliances, and very little knick-knacks. It’s very much a bachelor pad. There’s really no pillows or throw blankets on the couch or chairs.
But it’s beautiful. You can tell that he spent a lot of time on this house to make it this way.
He leads me through the house showing me the extra guest rooms, the bathroom, and a theater room that I fall in love with. He even has a popcorn machine in the corner of the room.
“Can we watch a movie in here later?” I ask.
