Nox's Beauty

Chapter 2

Oceans Point if View

I have still yet to go home. The club house is getting louder by the minute but Riv, Vice, and Smile are still talking in the office.  It's been an hour how long can a small group of people talk?  I stood up from the table we were sitting at and excused myself.  I can only sit for so long before I need to use the restroom.  The button to my jeans also started to stab me in my stomach. I walked to the restroom that was down the hall past the office. It's a more private bathroom which I'm thankful for. I hate using public bathrooms.

I walked back from the bathroom and as soon as I passed the office door it swung open making me jump in shock. 

"Sorry."  Smile mumbled when she saw me.

"No, it's okay.  I was just coming back from the bathroom and passing the door as soon as you opened it."  Why did I say that?  I definitely could have just left it at 'no it's okay.'  I didn't though.

"Hm, okay."  She nodded and walked around me.  She walked up the hallway and out to the main room where my dad should be.  By some magical way my eyes landed back on her ass again.  It truly is a mystery how this keeps happening.

"Ocean, I'd appreciate it if you stopped looking at my Road Captains ass." River said which made me snap my head to him as I blushed.

"Don't tell me what to do. Can we go home now?"  River sighed loudly but spoke anyway.

"Yeah, give me a few minutes just sit down."  He pointed to the chair in front of his desk.  I sat down just for the door to open again.  This time my dad, Forrest, and Smile walked in. I guess when Smile first walked out she went to get my dad and other brother. Vice excused himself and walked out. Saying he was going out to meet his Old Lady.

"I'll keep this short since Ocean wants to go home." Dad started. "The next run needs to happen within the next week or two. One of our sister chapters will be visiting next month. There's some new MC that's causing some trouble in their parts so we need to meet and update our alliance." He kept talking about club business but I kind of zoned out until he mentioned something interesting. "Smile, just come over tomorrow and we can discuss things more. I need to get Ocean home. She's like an old woman who gets ready for bed at 6 pm."

I looked up at him in shock as he smirked at me.

"Shut up! I just admire sleep." My brothers and dad just rolled their eyes. Smile just shook her head. "I enjoy being comfy."

"You look like a homeless woman." I just roll my eyes. I know I couldn't give an excuse for that one because I do. Normally I have an oversized tshirt and baggy pants and my hair in a bun. Like I said, I enjoy being comfy.

"Okay okay, stop attacking my sister." River came to my rescue laughing. "Are you taking her home or do you want me to?" He asked dad. He just shrugged and said he could take me home.

I sat in my room in a pair of oversized pajamas pants that had little fishes on them and a tank top on. My glasses rest on my face as I read one of my books on my shelf. I love mysteries and true crime books. I love the suspense that mysteries have. I just enjoy true crime books for some reason though, same with true crime documentaries.

"Hey Ocean." The voice of my youngest older brother, Buck knocked on my door.  I told him to come in.  "So, I need some help."

"With?"

"So Mindy's little boy has this little school bake sale and obviously neither Mindy or I can bake.  Can you bake some cookies or something tomorrow?  It's for a little field trip fundraiser I guess."  He said.

Mindy is Bucks girlfriend.  I'm just waiting for him to ask the question soon because she's a sweetheart.  She has a little boy Thomas from her previous relationship.  He's 5 and the cutest thing, so how could I say no?

"Sure, is there a set amount I should try to bake or no?"  He just shrugged his shoulders.

"No idea.  If you can get that done tomorrow I can drive them to her house tomorrow night." I nod my head as he walked out of my room.

I enjoy baking so I wasn't annoyed, and Thomas might be my nephew one day so of course I'd do this for him!

The next morning I woke up with the sun shining through the sides of my blackout curtains. Blackout curtains my ass. I looked at my side table and saw it was 6:30am. I hated being an early riser but no matter how late I went to bed I woke up early. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. Washing my face I slipped in my contacts and then changed my pajamas pants into some spandex shorts. Then my tank top into an oversized shirt that went down past my butt and covered my shorts.

I walked out of my bedroom and downstairs to get started in breakfast for my dad and brothers. I do love them but they can't cook for shit. They can maybe do toast but they burn it most of the time so I typically always fix them something simple. Just some eggs, bacon and throw in some fruit. I make them a smoothie that has kale and spinach mixed in. They don't actually know what's in the smoothies because if they did they wouldn't drink them. At least Cedar wouldn't drink it. 

River is 29, Forrest is 27, Cedar is 25, Buck is 24, and I am 19.  Cedar is such a picky eater it honestly gets annoying trying to fix him something or trying to get him to try anything new.  I have my ways though.

As I fixed breakfast I turned on YouTube on my phone.  Motorcycle Cowboy by Lisa Collins played and I hummed along.  As the song finished I turned around to start setting the table but jumped what felt 4 feet in the air.

Who else to stand in the kitchen way was my Dad and Smile.
