Soul

The rest of the night, I act unaffected as I watch her. I see her smile at Doc, which really pisses me off. They are way too friendly for my likin'.

She picks her cell up a lot too, smilin' and messagin' someone. Must be the fuckin' boyfriend. Thinkin' about him drives me nuts, and I down shot after shot of my bourbon.

I'm sitting with Blaze and Katy-ann, who have been practically eatin' each other’s face all night, and disappearin' to fuck every hour, and Sarra, who's sittin' next to me.

"Ya comin' 'ome tanight? Or you stayin' 'ere?" She asks me, as I grab another cigarette and light it. She lives with me, but nine times outta ten, I'm always here. She likes havin' her own space, and I like not feelin' like she's motherin' me.

"I'm 'ere tanight. As we got church in the mornin'. Why?" I ask. I take a drag on my cig and glance to see Tiny talkin' to Beth.

"I've missed ya stupid ass, 'n' thought It'd be nice ta sleep under the same roof." My sister is just too sweet sometimes. I lean into her ear as it's still quite noisy in here, not that Blaze would hear anythin' even if it was silent in here, as he's still eatin' his woman's face.

"How 'bout this. I 'av church in the mornin', then I need ta go speak ta someone. I should be done by lunchtime, so I'll take ya ta lunch 'n' then we can go back ta the house 'n' chill for the rest a the day. 'Ow's that sound?" I pull back, and she's beamin' at me. She's so easy to make happy. Been like that since she was a kid.

I look back over to the bar, wonderin' when Tiny will leave to go home. I wanna make sure she gets back safe, but she's nowhere in sight. Where the fuck did she go?

"Katy-ann!" Still oblivious. "BLAZE!" I growl, and they pull apart.

"What! Can't ya see I'm busy." He grumbles as Katy-ann kisses his neck.

"Kyara walk home alone when she finishes?"

"That's not really any of ya business-"

"Answer the question, love." Blaze tells her. She sighs, then turns her attention to me.

"No. Normally, one a the guys is out front when she goes 'ome. She's workin' later tanight though as y'all came back, so I guess Gus will come get 'er, or she'll walk over by 'erself. Why?" I climb up and pull the curtain aside to see her in the middle of the lot. But she's stopped walkin' and is lookin' around.

"Fuck!" I climb out of the booth, and my cell goes off.

"What do-"

"Kyara's outside by 'erself! The line went dead, ya need ta get out there now 'n' fuckin' get 'er!" Ryder orders. I was already gonna see her home, not that he knows that.

"Who the fuck d'ya think your talkin' to?" I growl.

"'Ave ya got 'er?" He yells at me. He seems scared, so I'll come back to that in a minute. I pocket my cell, leavin' Ryder on hold as he keeps askin' if I've got her, and when I get to the doors, I slam it open to see her now back at the doors. So I grab her arms and haul her back in, pinnin' her to the wall.

"Ouch, Soul. Fucking let go!" She snaps at me. Ignorin' her, I grab my cell back out my pocket and put it to my ear.

"SOUL! TELL ME YA FUCKIN' 'AV 'ER, OR SO 'ELP ME-"

"Yeah. I fuckin' got 'er, Ryder! What's-" He cuts me off, but I catch her little nickname for him. What is it with my brothers, and the prospects, with **my** fuckin' Tiny!? And givin' her these nicknames!? It pisses me off!

"Gus should be there any minute. 'E was on 'is way back ta see 'er 'ome.-"

"Me 'n' Blaze will take 'er back." What's the big deal here? He's actin'-
