Blood and Water

Chapter 115: Round Here

Round Here - Counting Crows

Mina POV

-----

After Fiona and Kerrianne being there a week, they went back to Ireland. Chibs seemed better after telling the two of them that we were getting married. He brought them to the airport by himself and I went to TM to get some work done. 

Finding a parking spot in the lot was near impossible because of the construction vehicles everywhere. They were tearing down the old clubhouse and rebuilding. It was strange seeing the plot of land empty, but it was better than the blown up building. It was going to be nice having the club there all the time; meant Chibs was going to be there and away from Diosa and Red Woody.

I dropped my purse down on the chair by the desk and then looked into the garage. It was empty and there weren't any cars in the lot. It was going to be a light, boring day. Chucky walked in with a little more pep in his step than normal. 

"Morning's good," he laughed. 

"Yes, it is," I smiled. 

He handed me a paper coffee cup. "Grabbed you a coffee. Decaf, caramel."

I laughed, "Thanks, Chuck."

"Absolutely, positlutely." He sat down on the couch and looked out the window. 

I sat down on the chair and looked out the door. I saw Chibs and Tig pull in and then parked along the fence. I forgot that they were working at the garage that day. Chibs walked into the office and Chucky walked out. 

He sat down on the desk and took the cup from my hand. He took a sip and groaned, "How can ya drink this sh*te?"

"Caramel?" I laughed.

"No, decaf," he sighed, handing me back the cup. He grabbed my hand and interlaced his fingers with mine. He turned, looking into the garage and then the parking lot with one motion before turning back to me. "Looks like it's gonna be a slow day."

I said, "Yeah, it does."

"What d'ya say we leave? Go away for the day?" He bent down and kissed my hand. "C'mon, what d'ya think?"

"What about TM? The club?" I giggled. 

He said, "Tig and Chucky got a handle on things, love."

"Where would we even go?"

He whispered in my ear, "Wherever ya want." I laughed as he kissed my neck and whispered again, "C'mon, darlin'."

I nodded, "Okay."

"Okay?" he laughed.

"Okay," I chuckled. I lifted his head up and kissed him, long and hard. He laughed against my lips, making me smile. "Let's go, baby."

He stood up and pulled me out of the office. "Keys?" he asked. I dug them out of my purse and handed them to him as he opened my door for me. He closed it and walked around to the other side. "A'right, where we goin', love?"

I chuckled and bit my lip. "I don't know. You didn't give me a chance to think."

"Well, then think." He turned towards me, resting his elbow on the armrest. 

I laughed, looking at him and his goofy face. I loved the face he made when he was trying to be funny. The smile that made his dimples more pronounced and the twinkle in his eyes when he stared down at me. 

"Let's go to the beach," I smiled.

"The beach?" he laughed and I nodded. "We don't have bathin' suits or anythin'."
