“I made a cheesecake,” she says with a laugh when I make a grabby hands motion.
“You dropped me off, so you can go now. I’m here safe and sound,” Serena says, shooing Tank.
“Woman!” he growls out.
“You would know if I went anywhere because Viking will most likely pull up his camera,” Serena says while rolling her eyes.
“Does everyone know about that?” Viking asks, looking shocked.
“Yes,” everyone says in unison.
“That’s probably why everyone’s okay with the girls’ night being here,” I say with a chuckle.
“She’s right,” Prez says while walking in.
“Does everyone just walk in?” Ice asks with a sigh.
“The door was still open,” Robyn says softly.
“Alright men, it’s time to leave; chop chop,” Serena says, clapping her hands.
“I’m feeling so welcome here,” Ice says dryly.
“Shoo, us hens need to get to clucking,” Serena says before making shooing motions.
It takes a few minutes before they all leave. I wait until I hear the bikes drive down the street before I turn to my sister.
“Okay spill. What’s going on with you and Tank,” I ask.
“Wait, we need wine to hear this,” Dani says while pouring some wine before handing me a glass of ginger ale.
“He’s so persistent. I guess I don’t know how to handle it. He rarely lets me leave his sight,” she says with a sigh.
“He did spend a long time looking for you, or so I hear,” Dani states and looks to me for confirmation. I nod my head.
“He did. He didn’t remember much since you were gone so fast, and he couldn’t find you. He probably worries that if he lets you out of his sight, you will leave and he will never find you again,” I tell her.
“The important question is, do you want him?” Robyn asks.
Serena lets out a sigh and falls back against the couch. “I do want him, but I’m just worried that he only wants me because he couldn’t find me for so long. I would hate it if he got to know me and realizes that he doesn’t want me anymore. I’ll end up with a broken heart.”
“If you feel a strong connection then you owe it to yourself to give it a chance or you will be spending the rest of your life wondering what could have happened,” Robyn says.
“I do feel a connection to him, but it’s scary as fuck,” Serena says.
“No matter what, it’s going to be scary as fuck. Whether you are falling in love for the first time, or you had your heart broken before. Putting yourself out there, and giving someone the chance to break your heart, is one of the scariest things to go through,” Dani says.
“Were you all scared?” Serena asks, looking at all three of us.
“I was scared of how my man made me feel which is why after I left, I never came back. I thought I could find it out there with someone else, but there was no one else who ever made me feel a fraction of what he made me feel,” Robyn admits.
“I know people who are with bikers from another club, and they were happy. I hoped I could have that one day, but it was still scary hoping my heart didn’t get broken,” Dani says.
“I’m scared to trust Maverick again. I’m scared to also let Ice all the way in. The last few years were full of crying and loneliness, and I never want to go through that again; but I also don’t want to walk away,” I tell her.
“I guess I just figured you guys are all so in love with your men that you weren’t scared,” Serena says while looking at us with shock.
“Just because we love them doesn’t mean we aren’t scared,” Robyn says.
