Chapter 23 Why the fuck are you not wearing your property vests!
Viper
Pulling my bike up to the clubhouse, my stomach was in knots over what I planned to do. I cut the engine and watched Torque roll in right beside me. I pulled my helmet off and met his eyes.
“Are you absolutely sure you want to do this with me?” I asked him.
“They are sisters, and we are both in love with them. Why would we not do it together? I sure as shit never pictured myself doing something like this.”
“Well, I have no fucking clue how to even start. I am not exactly a man known for his sweet words.”
“And you think I am? Fuck, Viper, what if one of them says no?”
“I really do not think Jenna will say no. She has been crazy about you for years. Everyone saw it except you, man. Every time you disappeared with one of the club girls, the hurt on her face was plain to see. Then there was that day we all went to the diner on her day off. Remember? We walked in and she was sitting with that guy in a suit, some banker type. She was laughing, and we all saw you snarl, turn around, get on your bike, and just leave. We were all waiting for you to finally make a move. What took you so fucking long?”
“I am not the kind of man women fall for. Do you think I do not see the look on the club girls’ faces when I just need a fucking release? The disgust in their eyes. You, Beast, Rockstar, Butcher… you are the ones they actually want. I am just a ranked member they cannot refuse. Well, they could, but we all know they would be finished at the club if they turned one of us down, and they know it, too. So yes, it took me a long time to believe she actually wants me. When she winked at me that night you met Catalina, I was completely stunned. I do not think I have ever blushed in my whole life. Catalina throwing that knife at the bar gave me my chance, and I will always love your girl for that, because it got me my girl.”
“I think that is the most I have ever heard you whine about your looks. I did not know you could be such a pussy.”
“Man, fuck you,” Torque said, but he was laughing.
“Look, you got the girl in the end. That is what matters. So, how do you want to do this?”
“Should we do it before or after our run? The run is in, what, three weeks?”
“Yeah, but we will be gone for a whole week. I have not told Catalina yet. I am telling her tonight.”
“Okay, well, let us do it after. That way we have a full month to plan how we want to do this.”
“Yeah, okay. It is a family day. The barbecue starts in three hours, so people should be showing up in two. I am going to send some prospects to get the meat for burgers, hot dogs, buns, and chips. We have plenty of drinks. Banker is tending bar tonight. Do you think you can convince Jenna to make that potato salad of hers?”
“Let me ask her. I know she will make it for me after I ask,” Torque said, his smile turning wicked.
“Ha, yeah, please do whatever you have to do to get her to make it. That shit is so good.”
We got off our bikes and walked into the clubhouse. I started looking for my girl right away. She was not in the kitchen, and she was not in our room. I went out back to check the barbecue and bonfire area, but she was not there either. I called her, but it went straight to voicemail. Where the fuck was my girl? I walked to Torque and Jenna’s room and banged on the door.
“Torque, is Jenna in there?”
Torque opened the door and gave me a look that said ‘what the fuck.’
“No, my girl is at the mall with yours. How do you not know that?”
“She did not tell me she was going to the mall.”
“Well, sounds like you two have a communication problem. You should fix that shit right now. Relationships fall apart without good communication.”
“You sound like fucking Butcher. You and him are trying to be so deep all of a sudden.”
“No, it is just facts, man. Communication, honesty, and loyalty are the big three for me, and for Jenna, too.”
“Right. Okay, thanks, man.”
I took out my phone again and texted Catalina.
Baby, why didn’t you tell me you were going to the mall? I came back and you were gone. I do not like it when I cannot find you where I expect you to be.
Her reply came quickly.
Funny, I did not like waking up from our nap to find you gone. I just figured that was how we operated.
Fuck, she sounded pissed.
Sorry baby, I had something I needed to do.
Same.
Okkkaaayyy.
Okay, babe, will you be back soon?
I don’t know. I made some new friends. I am hanging out with them right now.
WHO!
I waited for her to reply. I paced around the common room, the need to be near her making me restless. I kept staring at my phone until it finally buzzed with a new picture. What the hell! It was a group selfie. In the picture was my girl, Jenna, and six other women. They were all wearing tops cut so low you could see a lot of their chests. I could see two of them in leather vests, but I did not recognize them as any of our club’s Old Ladies. The main thing I noticed was that my girl and Jenna were not wearing their property vests.
Why the fuck are you not wearing your property vests! You are out in public, Catalina. I need you to wear my vest.
