“Yeah, I thought we could have been something, but last night made me realise we can’t. Our worlds don’t mesh. And I don’t want to be constantly watching over someone.”
Tears formed, but I was fucked if I’d let him see me cry.
“You just wanted some fun?” I questioned. “Guess I’m not like the usual women that hang around a MC.”
“No, you’re not. And you’ll never be.”
“Get out. Now!” I said, trying to hold my voice steady.
For a moment, I thought I saw pain in Slick’s eyes, and then they went blank.
“If you come across any trouble after I’ve gone—”
“It’s nothing to do with you. I get it. Leave,” I replied bitterly.
Again, I saw regret in his eyes, but it was fleeting. Slick didn’t say another word but spun on his heel and left.
“I’d fallen in love with you,” I mumbled as he shut the door. “What an idiot I was to believe someone like you would ever love me.”
And with those words, I curled into a ball and wept bitterly.
Slick
Slick stiffened as he caught Summer’s whispered words, and it took everything in his power not to turn around and beg. He had to let her go. Summer deserved better.
Movement caught his eye, and he saw Summer’s mom ducking behind a door. His keen ears heard whispering, and he guessed the two bitches were preparing their claws.
Slick slammed his hand against the door, and Summer’s mother flew backwards.
“What do you think—” she began, and Slick made a slashing motion with his hand.
“I’ve no doubt that you two were listening, but I bet you didn’t hear shit. Keep this in mind: I may be walking away from Summer, but it’s protecting her. I love her. I will always love her. But she deserves better than the crap I’m bringing with me,” Slick said in a low voice.
“How—”
“Shut the hell up. I’ll be watching, and if Summer looks sad, or pained, or anything but fuckin’ happy, you’ll be dealing with me. Do you get me? Summer deserves to live the life she was meant to, not be a slave to you two cunts. If I hear anything about Summer being miserable, I’ll make your lives hell, and so will my club. You may think you’re above shit, but you haven’t met Rage or its old ladies. Don’t fuck with Summer, and I won’t fuck with you,” Slick warned and then left.
The hate Slick felt towards them barely had a lid on it. And while he didn’t approve whatsoever of hitting a woman, he’d love to smash the two of them into little pieces.
Slick left the house raging, and he knew why.
Upstairs in that miserable home was his girl, and she was crying her eyes out.
Slick’s threat wouldn’t stop those bitches for long, and they’d try to tear her down again. He made a mental note to get Casey and Aurora Victoria to watch over Summer. Those two women would bolster her and give her a much-needed friendship.
For now, he needed to get drunk and forget this shit ever happened. Not that he would, because Slick knew Summer held his heart and would forever.
Chapter Ten.
Summer
It was three days since Slick had dumped me so unexpectedly. And they’d been a nightmare ever since. That first night, neither Mom nor Marianne came near me. I’d guessed they had known, and I’d been prepared for them to pull me down. But they said nothing. The next day, however, was a different story. Smug, knowing looks were aimed in my direction, and they both looked like the cats who’d got the cream. I listened to their lists of demands and then listlessly ignored them and headed out to see Uncle Brian.
He was still out of it, and his words were most certainly slurring, and I was worried. The doctors told me it was normal with head trauma, but it didn’t stop me from fussing. Uncle Brian’s hand and eye co-ordination had also been affected, which upset him greatly. After seeing him, I made my way to the garden centre, which remained shut by the police and fire department.
A kind officer, Detective Lucas, met me there and asked several questions, which ended up with me in tears when he questioned my relationship with Slick. The poor man obviouslyfelt guilty. He patted my shoulder and inquired about insurance. Something I most certainly did have. In a business this size, I’d have been foolish not to.
Detective Lucas was nice enough to hang around and help me when I called the provider. At one point, he even took the phone and spoke to them.
