“I think there was more going on between them than I realized. I feel so horrible.”
I hooked my finger under her chin, pulling her eyes up to mine. “If anything, I’m sure you were more hurt than he was by what she did. It’s not your fault she turned out to be a lying bitch.”
“Yeah, but friends come and go all the time. Sometimes life only gives you one slap in the face or kick in the balls. What if that was his?”
I raised an eyebrow and couldn’t help but smile. “I have no idea what that fucking means.”
She laughed and wrapped her arms around my waist, hugging me a little tighter. “I think I was your slap in the face.”
I chuckled. “Whatever you’re talking about, I’m sure you were more like a kick in the balls.”
There was a sharp pinch in my side, cutting off my laughter. “Woman,” I growled in warning.
“Asshole?” she said, fluttering her eyelashes as she looked up at me.
I felt a buzzing in my pocket and pulled out my phone. “Saved by the bell.”
She rolled her eyes and untangled herself from me. “Sure.” I kissed her cheek before darting out the nearest door and holding the phone to my ear.
“Yeah,” I answered. The caller ID had come up private, but I knew who it was. I’d been expecting their call.
“You’ve got ten minutes to get here.” That was all that was said before the line went dead.
I headed straight back inside, weaving my way through people. I found Kit and Tally at the pool table. Harmony would be heading home with them tomorrow. I had no doubts that Kit was itching to have her back in Troy, even though he’d been understanding about her reasons to stay for so long. Blizzard stood off to the side silently, but his head perked up as I approached them.
I placed my hands on the table, halting their game. “You boys sober enough for a ride?”
Kit tilted his head at me curiously. “Yeah.”
Tally gave me a nod and Blizzard stepped closer. “I’m coming.”
I frowned at him, nodding to the bottle in his hands. “How much of that, you had?”
“Barely anything. Tastes like shit,” he snorted, placing the bottle on the pool table. I eyed him suspectly but eventually nodded.
I glanced over at Chelsea as they followed me out the doors. She was laughing, still at the bar with Harmony, Ham, and Slider.
“You tell Chel we were leaving?” Blizzard enquired as we threw our legs over our bikes.
“This won’t take long.”
I revved my engine and tore out of the compound, barely missing Camo as he pulled open the gates.
It didn’t take us long to get there. We pulled up to the building and shut our bikes off. Kit looked over at me with trepidation. “Bro, a little warning would’ve been nice.”
I climbed off and headed for the alley that ran down the side of the building, my brothers following closely but nervously behind. I cracked my knuckles.
“Are we about to get in a fight? Coz I have a date with fucking twins tomorrow night,” Tally groaned.
“Women love that shit. They can tend to your wounds.” Kit laughed.
“Hey yeah! Good point.”
“We ain’t fighting,” I told them as we came to a large roller door. I banged on it.
“Damn,” he grumbled. It was only late afternoon, but the air around the place was silent. “You think you could just hit me once? Maybe give me a little black eye?”
I heard a slap and Tally mutter‘ouch’just as the roller door began to wind up.
