“Oh, I ain’t goin’ back on the boats.” Baptiste and Rafe frowned, looking at one another. “Mr. Matthew has me doin’ the daily routes, orderin’ supplies, that sorta thing. Nice young fella, He-ro. He’s been helpin’ me learn the computer system. Ain’t as hard as I thought. Amazin’ what technology can do.”
They shook hands with Ray, meeting Parker and Dom back at the SUV. Next was to figure out where those boys in the detention facility were from and how to get them back on the straight and narrow.
“Pops always knows exactly what to do, doesn’t he?” grinned Rafe.
“Yep. And that scares the hell out of me.”
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
“Where are we at with everything?” asked Nine.
“Cars are almost ready. I’m just waiting for the new tires,” said Whiskey. “Skull and Razor are killin’ it on the paint jobs. We reinforced the bodies with extra steel just to make sure if they were in an accident, nothing would happen to them. These kids are gonna be the most popular in school.”
“Man, I love that,” smiled Gaspar. “I remember my first car.”
“And Judy Guerin,” smirked Miller.
“Shut up.”
“No, no,” laughed Angel. “Tell us more of this Judy Guerin.” Gaspar frowned at his brother, then nodded.
“She was my first real girlfriend. It wasn’t super serious, but I damn sure was hoping it would be. Not marriage, but I wanted her to be my first, and she wanted it too. Damn, she had a chest. I swear to God, it was like two flotation devices sitting on her rib cage.”
The men all laughed, shaking their heads.
“Anyway, I got that car and thought, I know what I’ll do. I’m gonna take her up to the levee and park, and we’ll have a little fun. I had it all planned out. Watch the sunset, romantic river floating by, maybe bring a cooler with some food and sodas or something. I even had a blanket in the damn car, despite it being a hundred degrees. Right before I leave, Mama says, ‘Gaspar, remember to do the right thing.’”
“Oh, ouch,” smirked Angel.
“Damn,” said Nine.
“That had to hurt,” laughed Whiskey.
“Honestly, I barely heard it. I ran out the door in my tight jeans and t-shirt, praying Judy was wearing a skirt or a dress. And damned if she wasn’t. This little mini-skirt thing that barely covered anything, and her blouse was busting at the buttons. I asked her if she was okay going up to the levee, and she nodded, running her hand up my leg. I knew I was going to finally lose my virginity.”
“What happened?” grinned Whiskey.
“We’re all hot and heavy, kissing and touching. I might also add, afterwards, I realized that Judy knew a whole lot more about what to do with my body than I knew what to do with her body. Anyway, she unbuttoned that blouse and started to take her bra off and…”
“And?” asked Angel.
“And I heard Mama’s voice,” he said, shaking his head. “I love my mother, but damn. That was all that was in my head. I felt like she was watching me. I froze. Judy was grabbing my hands, putting them where she wanted them, but it was no use. I was done.
“Damn, she was pissed at me. Yelled at me the whole way back to her house. Told all the girls at school I had a little dick. Didn’t do her any good. The guys in the locker room knew what I looked like and laughed at the girls when they asked about me. I hated that car after that. Hated it. Saved enough money to sell it and buy a new one.”
“Did Irene ever say anything to you?” asked Nine.
“No, but I swear to God, she knew. She knew something.”
“I think we all do. Shit, I remember Cam and his man-whore ways. I thought I’d have dozens of grandchildren wandering around when it was all said and done. I was never so grateful as the day he said Kate was the one. Ellie? I knew she loved Jax. She was afraid to say it out loud, so was he. So, I just waited. I’ll never forget when he finally told me. Honestly, I was happier than fuck.”
“Jax is one of the best, brother,” said Miller.
“Yea, we’ve had a few close calls with our kids. Thank God nothing we couldn’t recover from,” said Gaspar.
“Can’t say I wasn’t disappointed in Georgie’s behavior,” said Angel. “I understand why she did it, but sleeping with Carl while he was so drunk he didn’t know any better, that was dangerous.”
“She was doing it for the right reasons. Sort of,” said Gaspar. “Besides, we all knew that Carl loved her, and it would work out.”
