The Ride

CHAPTER 19: New Business?

BELLATRIX

Seriously, I can't believe that I was starting to prep dinner without checking to make sure I had all of the ingredients to even make what I had in mind first. I am such a ted sometimes.

Luckily, I hadn't started anything strenuous or even began cooking yet before noticing a few things I needed him to grab at the store.

When I walked out, I noticed several men who I could tell were not part of Cyran's club and who I also noticed by the look on Cyran's face, wasn't necessarily invited.

I walked up to Cyran and he put his arm around my waist and pulled me in closer to him.

"And who is this fine looking woman." The guy states while he looked me up and down in an unnerving way.

He right away made me feel uncomfortable. He seemed to be covered in tattoos from head to toe and had his entire bald head tattooed of a huge skull. He had a lip piercing and several others. He looked to be several years older than Cyran and gave me the feeling that he was a heartless sick fuck. He just had that demeanor and type of energy.

"This is my old lady, Trix." Cyran introduces me.

"Nice to meet you." He smiled.

"Yeah. You too." I replied as I nervously shook his hand and right when he tried lifting it to his lips to kiss I immediately yanked my hand back, making everybody, including his own guys busy out into laughter.

"I admire that." He comments.

"Uhm, I'm going to head back inside." I start to tell him and decide to just order some take out for tonight and leave the guys outside to talk.

I didn't want to be around that guy and his men. They made me feel uneasy.

While inside, I began looking up some food to order and right as I finished looking up the menu, I was about to call in the order when the back door opened and in walked Cyran along with that Wilder guy and his men, Atlas, then the rest of Cyran's guys.

Wilder, Atlas, Cyran and the Vice President of Wilder's MC went into where they always have meetings while the rest come walking in and sitting down.

Right when they started taking a seat on the couch and everywhere else, I thought it was only right to be polite and a good hostess.

"Are you guys thirsty?" I ask them.

After grabbing their drinks and handing them out, I heard one of the guys ask some things.

"So you're Cyran's old lady?!" A guy asked.

"Yeah." I replied.

Then right as I started to turn around and head into the kitchen to clean some stuff up, I had hoped that was the last any of them would have said anything but no-such-luck.

A different guy walked up to the breakfast bar and took a seat. I tried ignoring him but the couple of times I noticed out the corner of my eye that he was looking at me while drinking his beer, I was becoming a bit agitated.

"Can I get you anything else?" I asked, trying to be polite.

He doesn't say anything for a moment and then once he does, it's not even answering my question.

"How long have you and Cyran been together?" He asks.

I'm not sure whether or not he is just trying to make small talk but either way, I don't like it.

I don't know. Then again, this could be something I'm just going to have to get used to since I have a feeling Cyran and Wilder are discussing a possible business transaction of some sort.

Shouldn't matter anyways because I do after all have Cyran's guys nearby.

"For a long time." I replied.

"You know, a pretty thing such as yourself shouldn't be cleaning or nothing like that." He mentions.

I was about to snap at him but luckily, one of Cyran's guys 'rescued' me and slapped his hand hard onto this guy's shoulder and had him head back in with the rest of the guys.

I just mouthed 'thank you.' While he smiled and nodded back.

I really hope that Cyran doesn't end up doing business with this Wilder guy. Also, I wonder if his true name is Wilder or if it's some type of a nickname.

I'm not sure I can take any of Wilders' men being here all the time. So if Cyran plans to do business with this guy, I am going to express my worries. Especially with having the unnerving moment I just now had with that guy.

Eventually, Cyran, Wilder and Atlas who was with them, all came walking out of the office and I kept my fingers crossed in hopes they wouldn't be staying to eat.  And thankfully they weren't as I noticed Wilder motioning with his head for his guys to all leave.

They followed behind him after Wilder said 'goodbye' and I swear, as soon as I heard their bikes leave with the sounds fading in the distance quickly, I felt relieved.

Cyran came right up to me and we leaned in and kissed each other.

"How was the meeting?" I asked.

"It was okay." He replied sounding as if it went well but at the same time, I could sense something had irritated him.

"Are you planning to do business with him and his guys?" I ask.

"Maybe. I told him we'll have to discuss more later on." He says.

I nodded my head and felt a bit unsettled but tried hiding it for now. Honestly, my stomach is making too much noise at the moment that all I can think about is eating dinner. So we ordered some and him and I headed upstairs early to watch some TV before eventually going to bed.

Tomorrow I will bring up my worries about Wilder and his men.

Next chapter will be posted soon! :)
