I laugh. “Yeah,” I say as I stare back at the picture of my man.
Chapter 21
Trevor
Ihaven’t shown up for work in a month. I have no idea how my bar is coming along, but right now I couldn’t give a flying fuck. Not since the night Tori left me. I’ve been holed up in my house since then. Today, it looks like my brothers have had enough. My head shoots up as my front door breaks open and Reaper, Zippo, and Angel walk through.
“When is the last time you showered?” Zippo asks after he sniffs the air.
I shrug.
“Well get in it, now. Melissa is getting married next month and you are to be there,” Angel tells me. “Gotta start getting showered because Melissa wants you to babysit for her while she goes to her final dress fitting.
I just stare at them, not caring. My niece is getting married next month, and right now I couldn’t give a shit. That might be shitty of me, but right now, I care about nothing. Tori, my Tori, went back to my sick fuck of a brother. “Why exactly am I getting roped into babysitting?”
“Because, she’s your great niece, and all the girls are going out with Melissa. The rest of us are going to work, and a few others are going to your bar to oversee the construction. Which means you’re the one that got picked for babysitting duty. So, suck it up and get in the damn shower. Or we’ll drag your ass in their ourselves,” Angel says.
“I’ll do it,” Reaper states and moves towards me, grabbing me by my shirt, dragging me into the bathroom. “Get in there now. Givin’ you ten minutes. If you ain’t out, I’m comin’ back in.” He storms out of the bathroom, slamming the door shut.
I peel my clothes off and toss them to the corner of my tub, so I don’t soak the floor and quickly shower, scrubbing myself with the body wash Tori left here. Fuck, I miss her. Why’d she have to leave me?
Shutting off the shower, I quickly dry off and wrap the towel around my waist. Opening the door, the guys are standing in the hall. “I’m clean you fuckers, now move, I need to get dressed.”
After getting dressed I stomp back out and glare at them. “Happy now?”
“Very,” Reaper states giving me a nod.
“Let’s go, Melissa is at the clubhouse, you’ll be staying there until the wedding shits over,” Angel tells me.
“Again, why the fuck am I babysitting?”
“It will keep you sober, and get your mind off shit you can’t control,” he says.
Tori
It’s been a peaceful few days, I haven’t heard from Megan since her breakdown, and Carson has even been more present. He’s showing me the side of him that he used to be when we first got together. It’s been nice. My pregnancy is progressing, and everything seems normal and healthy.
In the middle of making myself a sandwich, my phone rings.
“Hey, Lilly,” I answer once I see who it is.
“Hey, so I’m still pissed at you for leaving, are you coming back?”
“Yeah, Lilly, I will be soon, don’t tell anyone yet though please?” I beg her.
“I don’t understand why not. Trevor has been in a shitty mood since you left. If he knows you’re coming home, he’ll snap out of it.”
Hearing about Trevor causes me to tear up. “I miss him,” I whisper.
“Then let me tell him.”
“Don’t. The second the divorce is finalized I’ll be there, I promise. I want to surprise him.” In more than one way. I don’t want to tell Lilly about the pregnancy, because then I know she will tell. I want Trevor to know about it first.
“Fine, but just wanted to let you know, Melissa is getting married this weekend, think you’ll be able to make it by then?”
“Really? Her and Dray are tying the knot? That’s amazing.”
“Wedding is at two on Saturday, please make it.” She pauses. “I miss having you around, I wish that you had told me or at least Trevor that you were being threatened to go back with that man. We never would have let you go.”
