Have you ever been in love with your best friend? Well, I certainly have. I'm the girl from the wrong side of the tracks. The girl who is an illegitimate child. The girl who is a bastard child. In other words, my mom was a club bunny. The girl who c...
I watch from the clubhouse as Draven, Kai, and dad left in the truck. Dad had sent me a text not even four hours later telling me to head over to Draven's house. But, not without reminding me to bring a prospect with us. The prospect climbs in the bed of mom's truck as I put the children in the back seat. Mom gets into the passenger seat as I climb into the driver's seat. We start heading down the road to his house. His house is only half a mile give or take away from the clubhouse. After I have past two blocks, I notice the same van with dark tented windows is still behind me. I knew in my gut they weren't from around here.
"Mom, get Draven or dad on the phone. Now." I try to not sound frantic.
"I'm already on it." Mom responds. She must have already noticed the van behind us at the same time I did.
"Hello?" Draven asks.
"Draven, there's a van following us! We're in mom's truck." I calmly explain.
"Bear tell Dylan and Dawson to follow the van. Mac should be passing them here in a minute." Draven says to my dad.
"Flash your lights at Dawson and Dylan when you see them outside the parlor. You'll be passing our tattoo parlor in a minute. Bear has already notified them." Draven says.
"Okay, I see the parlor." Mom says.
"Keep me on the phone and tell me anything about the van." Draven calmly speaks.
"Um it's black with dark tented windows so I can't see who's driving. Dawson and Dylan and two others are now pulling out behind it ." I explain.
"Meet me at the diner, I'll be there in maybe three minutes. Whatever you do don't get out of the truck until one of our men come to your window. Some of our people should be outside." Draven finally speaks.
"Pulling into the diner now." I call out. I parked the truck sideways at the front of the diner. I spot all our members' bikes on the side of the diner. Axle is the first to reach the truck. Followed by four others. I unlocked the doors while Axle and the rest stand behind the truck. Moments later, I see the van go by and my brothers and the other two following right behind it, chasing the van out of town. A few seconds later Draven pulls up and yanks my door open. He pulls me into a hug and looks back at our children who are sleeping. He pulls me out of the truck and sends me to the back seat in between both car seats.
"Bear is driving that truck back to my house. While I drive this one." He calmly says. I nod my head saying I understand. He pulls out of the parking lot with my dad behind us. Behind my father are eight other bikes following us back to Draven's house. We pull up into his driveway and he parks in front of a gigantic freaking house. A three story damn farm house!
He has more than just a few spare rooms.
What the hell?
I watched as the eight members hop of their bikes.
"They're going to patrol the outside." Draven says while looking at me through the rear view mirror. Mom and him hop out while I'm in the process of unbuckling the little ones. Mom comes to the right and pulls out Blade who had just woken up from his nap. Before I could climb out to get Eve. Draven had already picked her up and is helping me out the back. Dad and my brother are already unloading the truck and trailer.
What the hell could they have possibly gotten to need a bloody trailer?
They walk the children to the backyard that has privacy fence around the entire thing. When he opened the gate, I let out an audible gasp. He has the backyard set up with a playground. He even has a sandbox set up. In the dead center of the yard are two battery powered small motorcycles and two small children four wheelers. Each small vehicle has a helmet on top of it.
"I had this set up after I bum rushed your yard and stormed off the very first time." Draven confesses. "You two go play while we go set up your rooms." Draven says to our kids. Both of them nod their heads yes and smile.
"I'll be outside with them." Mom announces.
He walks me into his house and I see the main bedroom, which is obviously his. I notice the main bedroom had a door that led to a bedroom and on the other side of the room was another conjoining bedroom.
"I... Uh... Had them knock the walls down and put a door to each room. That way I can get to them if need to be. Or if they have nightmares and need me." Draven says rubbing the back of his head. Each of their rooms has boxes on top of boxes piled up. He shows me Blade's room which looks almost like the one at the house. His bed was already set up and Kaiser is working on organizing the dressers, his toys, and closet. His bedroom door has a sign that said 'Warning Pres Jr.' We then walk into Eve's room which is a princess themed room with a biker edge to it. Instead of a pink room like at my house, this one has purple walls and a lilac colored canopy bed. On her bedroom door has a small sign that said 'Princess'. I let out a laugh. Dad is organizing her room as well.
"I haven't done this since you were a baby." Dad says with a soft smile which I return. Draven takes my hand and leads me into a room connected to Eve's room. I notice the room has a huge bed with greys and pinks surrounding the room. A desk with a laptop in one corner and a bench at the window with a small shelf full of books. In another corner is a small vanity area. I turn to look at Draven thinking who's room is this?
Do you have a girlfriend?
Why show me her room?
"This room..." Draven started to say.
"Is your girlfriend's room?" I question him.
"No, I made this room.... Yours in case you ever stay the night here. Eve could come in here if she needed you or something. I mean you don't have to stay at all. It's just in case something happens and you need too." Draven blurts out. His cheeks turn a shade of pink and all I can do is let out a laugh because of his pink stained cheeks.
"I love it. Thank you."
"Ready to go see what they're up too outside?" Draven asks. I nod my head yes and we walk out the house together. Mom has parked their small cars under the big porch. I go to help her with the rest but I stop in my tracks and read the signs in front of their little vehicles. All I can truly do is seriously laugh. A laugh I haven't done in years. A laugh that causes tears to fall from my eyes from laughing so hard.
"Princess parking only. Pres Jr parking. Dad will tow your junk if you aren't Pres Jr or Princess." I read out loud and hunch over and begin to full on laugh. When I catch my breath I look up at Draven with a smile.
"You didn't have to get them all of this."
"I wanted too. I missed out almost 5 years. So, I want to make up for it." He says with a megawatt smile. That sentence alone makes me frown. He missed out because of me.
That is my fault.
He never got to see their first steps, hear their first words, or anything their first almost 5 years. The change in my face must have worried him.
"I'm not blaming you. I'm not pissed at you. Please don't cry or think I honestly hate you for that." He says next to me. I smile a sad smile and walk off towards our little ones. But I hear him whisper and it makes my heart rate speed up.
"I couldn't ever get mad at you. Even if I wanted too. I've loved you for 20 years."
Well Reaper, you should at least tell me to my face.... Because I've loved you just as long.
