“I’m good, brother.” He nods and walks out of the room as I follow him. I call out to Ginger, one of the club girls, and she comes running.
“Get somethin’ to clean this up, yeah?” She nods as I show her my knuckles and take off toward the back rooms. I walk over and grab a beer before dropping down at the closest table I can find and taking a long pull. There isn’t any amount of alcohol that can erase her from my mind, which pisses me off. I drank until I couldn’t fucking see straight, and then I drank some more. Then I pounded on the bag, hoping that would ease the tension in me, but it didn’t. Nothing helps.
Knight sits down and shoves some paperwork in front of me with a pen.
“What’s this?”
“Shit for the strip club. They need it signed off on,” he says. I nod and grab the pen, not bothering to read any of it. I sign it all and slide it back across the table when he pulls his phone out and clicks on something.
“Vernelli said he’s willin’ to meet in an hour,” he tells me. I nod my head and take another pull from my beer.
“Let’s do it then. Offload at least part of those guns,” I tell him.
“You think he would take the full load?”
“Doubtful. He doesn’t have the resale value we do,” I remind him. Knight nods when I see Twitch walk in. The motherfucker has looked overly happy the last few days. Maybe he’s glad Yenni is gone since he couldn’t get a piece of her. Motherfucker.
“What the fuck are you so happy about?” I ask when he’s close enough.
“Not shit, Prez. Just a good fuckin’ day.”
“You get some ass or what?”
“I got more than some,” he says, smirking. I smile back and nod my head as he walks closer.
“We’re meetin’ Vernelli in a little while. You comin’?”
“Why the hell wouldn’t I come?” he asks. How the hell should I know? He seems to be preoccupied with something the last few days.
“Fuck if I know. Maybe your new piece of ass is keepin’ you busy,” I tell him. He laughs.
“Not a chance in hell. I’m not you, Prez.” I see the regret of his words as soon as they leave his mouth. He shakes his head and curses under his breath.
“It’s all good, brother. Brothers over bitches, yeah?” Or so he thinks. I would have put a bullet in his head for Yenni not even a week ago. I was willing to kill my own VP for some piece of ass. I should be ashamed, but I’m not.
“Got that right,” he says fist bumping me. “What time we leavin’?”
“Now. I wanna get there early,” I tell him as I finish my beer. I stand from my chair and walk over, tossing my bottle in the trash before turning and looking around the room. The guys all seem busy in conversation when Ginger walks back toward me. She motions for me to sit, and I sit back on the stool behind me. She sets the stuff she collected on the counter and grabs my hand in hers. Then she gets to work cleaning it and applying the cream before wrapping them up.
“You want both hands wrapped?” she asks, glaring up at me.
“No, just the bad one.”
“That’s the right one,” she says. I nod and let her finish what she’s doing before pulling her to her feet and kissing her. The taste of her lips on mine makes me sick. I can’t fucking do this. I can’t kiss another woman. Instead of trying, I shove her away and head out the door. I don’t need this shit. I need out of here. Maybe meeting up with Vernelli will be just what I need.
I head for my bike and grab the helmet when Tarek walks over to me.
“Have you talked to her?”
“No. Don’t plan on it either.”
“You don’t think you should make sure she’s okay?” I shake my head once more. She isn’t my fucking problem anymore.
“No.”
“Come on, Cage.”
“You worried, brother? You check on her. She fucked me over, in case you don’t remember. She fuckin’ cheated on me. I have pussy thrown my way on the fuckin’ daily, and did I touch another piece of ass while I was with her? No, I fuckin’ didn’t. I did the right thing for once in my goddamn life, Tarek, and look what it got me? Now if you’re concerned about her or her fuckin’ safety, check up on the bitch.” With that, I slide my helmet on and climb on my bike. I rev the engine as a fuck you to Tarek too. I don’t know why he’s so fucking concerned about her. I don’t know what he’s thinking is wrong, but he can handle that himself.
