“At first, no. He found you and wanted to help. I understood that, but then Mikey told me he was going all caveman over you. It’s new to us too.” I nod and clasp my hands in my lap, unsure what to do with myself.
“Is he always so closed off?”
“As I said, he pretty much stays to himself.” Just as she finishes speaking, the doors open, and men start filing in.
“They’re back,” she nods toward where my gaze has already landed. GeeGee stands, walks over, and greets her man with a kiss as I watch the others enter the room. Then finally, Tarek walks in. His eyes look wild, like he’s not even here. He searches the room until his eyes land on mine, and then a smile tugs across his face. One of the guys says something to him and slaps him on the shoulder, but he never looks away from me. Something heats my insides, and I squirm in my seat.
Tarek starts toward me when he’s stopped by one of the guys to talk. Tarek turns and gives him his full attention, and I feel myself deflate a little.
“Go to him,” I hear GeeGee say. I look up and find her standing next to me once again.
“He’s busy.”
“He’s fine. If it’s important, they will go into the office. Go over there,” she grabs my hand and pulls me from the seat. I stand and adjust my clothes before I start walking toward him. It feels weird. It feels wrong.
But then he turns his head and looks at me as I walk closer, and it all feels right. When I’m close enough, he grabs me around the back of my neck and pulls my lips to his. He kisses me like he hasn’t seen me in years. When he finally breaks the kiss, he continues talking with the other guy but keeps me tucked into his side.
“Are you wantin’ in on it?” the guy asks.
“What the fuck kind of question is that?” Tarek asks him.
“I didn’t know if you wanted to hang out with your girl or not.”
“She ain’t goin’ anywhere,” he tells him, and I feel a blush creeping across my face. The guy laughs and turns to walk away when Tarek pulls me in front of him. His hands rest on my hips as he looks me in the eye.
“You okay?” he asks.
“I’m good. Talked to GeeGee.”
“Oh yeah? About what?”
“You.”
“Me? What about me?” he asks curiously.
“Just about the club and how everyone fits in.”
“Is that a good thing?”
“I think so. I wasn’t sure how all this worked,” I reply.
“I’ll explain whatever you want to know, Pierson.”
“I know. It was just nice to hear from another woman,” I admit.
“I’m sure it was. GeeGee is a good one to talk to. She will help you with whatever you need,” he tells me.
“I’m glad you’re back.”
“Did you miss me?” he asks playfully.
“I did.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, I did.” Then his lips are on mine, and he kisses me slowly, gently, and everything else in the world seems to disappear slowly.
“I gotta go handle somethin’ out back. You good?”
