Taste of Wolves

Chapter 20

Wolfie: got Aunt Linda settled at the hospital. Now I'm back at home all alone. Feel so helpless and out of sorts right now ☹

Quinn was working on the car from the previous day when he felt his phone vibrate in his back pocket. He stopped working figuring it was probably Aria texting him. He frowned seeing what she'd written. Going into hospice care meant the end was near for Linda and he was sure Aria was going to take it hard. He hated that there didn't seem to be anything he could really do for her. Wiping his hands on a grease rag, he thought about what to tell her.

Quinn: she's at a place that can take care of her in a way you can't. They'll be able to keep her comfortable. You can visit anytime you like.

Quinn: Why don't I take you to dinner after work tonight? Get you out of the house for a little bit?

She read what he'd texted her and wanted to smile. He was always so upbeat about things. She certainly didn't want to eat alone that first night, either.

Wolfie: I know you're right in my mind. Just the thought of her being on hospice at all makes me teary. You know I love any chance I get to spend time with you. Even if it's just over dinner 😊

He smiled at her reply making Tig wonder who the ginormous man was texting. The SAA began to poke fun at him for texting his girlfriend like a teenage boy making Quinn roll his eyes and flip him off. Chibs chimed in and told Tig to leave the lad alone as Quinn finally replied to Aria.

Quinn: I'll be by around six. Be ready. You may not make your night stream 😉

She smiled at what he replied and it made her heart flutter.

Wolfie: you planning on taking me for a ride or something?

Quinn: Or something...

He liked it when their texts became flirty. At least he knew her mind was no longer focused on her dying aunt and she was probably smiling again.

Wolfie: you gonna tell me what you have planned?

Quinn: nope, you just gotta wait and see 😉

She hated not knowing what was going on but knew whatever it was he had planned would be worth the wait.

"'ey brotha! 'ow's things goin' with Wolfie?" Chibs asked as he wandered over to where Quinn stood trying to work on the vehicle.

"Linda went into the hospital today so she's a bit depressed about that. Gonna take her to dinner and maybe a ride after to help get her mind off things for a bit." Quinn stated as Tig and Juice approached them.

"I see." Chibs replied.

Wolfie: I'll try to be patient then

"Taking the girlfriend out tonight, huh?" Juice teased making Tig laugh.

"At least I have a lady, Juice." Quinn shot back making Chibs smile this time and Tig go "Ooooh"

"What does she do for a living?" Juice inquired as Quinn began to text her back.

"She's a streamer." Chibs replied for the tall man.

Quinn: good! I'll see you then 😊

"Oh really? What's her streamer name?" Juice quickly inquired.

"Wolfie." Quinn stated.

"I think I've heard of her before. She's pretty popular." Juice said.

"Back to work guys!" Gemma shouted from the office making Tig laugh and shout back that they were just taking a smoke break.

"She does really well for herself." Quinn stated before slipping his phone back into his back pocket of his jeans.
