I loved it.
This was the first time I felt like one of them. Part of their private tribe… the old ladies club.
Although Libby was the only kitten accepted intoourcircle. Probably because she was super sweet and not a bitch. Now that Carla was gone, Libby was in charge of the kittens.
Maddy studied my hand. “I freaking love this tattoo.”
Jill nodded, messing with her cell phone. “It is pretty badass. Wolf wouldn’t let me get anything visible. He wanted his mark only where he’d see it.”
“Then what’s the point?” Libby took the words right out of my mouth.
Heads nodded from around the large table we were at, sipping hot cocoa and nibbling on Maddy’s yummy cookies. She’d baked her famous loaded oatmeal and chocolate chip this morning when she got a craving for both.
“I guess for him to see it. When necessary, I wear my leather jacket.”
I scrunched up my nose. “I don’t get it.”
Tina smiled, understanding in her eyes. “Honey, that’s what the rockers are for on the back. It says ‘property of Wolf, Knight’s Legion MC’ with the logo in the center.”
“Oh…” I pretended like it all made sense. Rockers? No idea what she meant. I’d have to ask Hero about it later.
Jill growled, slamming her phone on the table. “Besties are supposed to reply to texts. They’re supposed to return phone calls. I swear, sometimes I wonder if she even thinks about me while living her glamorous life.”
Whoa. Someone was salty.
“When’s the last time you talked to Snow?” Libby asked, her voice soft and cautious. The last time she’d mentioned Snow, Jill had gone bat shit crazy.
“Physically talk to her? Not since I was there in June.”
Gasps rolled through the air.
“God, Jill. How could you go so long? It’s been almost five months,” Sugar held her fingers to her lips, wholly aghast. I loved how she wore her blonde locks in a messy bun. She was stunning with fair skin and vibrant hazel-green eyes. Totally rocked nude lipstick.
“I’m the worst friend in the world. I admit.” Jill pouted. “When I returned from Seattle, I was so busy getting the boutique put back together after those freaking Hunters torched it. I only had time for a quick text. The distance probably ruined everything. I’ve been trying to fix it ever since. I miss her.”
Maddy reached across Sugar and patted Jill’s hand. “When did you last get a reply from her? Surely it hasn’t been months?”
Jill bit on her bottom lip as she checked her messages. I couldn’t imagine going days without some form of communication with Maddy, much less months.
“I feel awful.” Jill scanned the table. “The last one was at the end of August.”
“And what was it about, if you don’t mind me asking?” Maddy appeared concerned. She always had a spot on sixth sense. I couldn’t believe she went so long without catching up on my destructive habits. Must have been because I was doing so well when we lived together.
“She said, ‘I miss you being here. Why do we live so far apart? We should plan another visit.’” Jill covered her face, sniffling.
“What was your reply, honey?” Tina asked. “Did you invite her out for a visit? She’s your bestie, yet none of us have ever met Snow.”
“Excuse me?”
I turned around, hearing Boxer’s displeased voice.
“What?” Jill hissed.
“I don’t want to hear about her, Jill,” he bit back.
“Well, you weren’t in here. Besides, she’s my best friend.” She crossed her arms over her chest defiantly. “Get over yourself already.”
Boxer looked as if he could rip her head straight off her shoulders. Boy, he was pissed. I get that Snow was his ex-girlfriend. From what Libby said, it sounded like Snow was the only girl he ever loved. I was curious about what happened between them, but I’d never ask.
