The Rescuer's MC - Bk 2

Chapter 16 - The day before the wedding

Apparently the party during Biker week did not end and seemed to get livelier as the sun went down in waves that lasted all night. Some of it was loud and rambunctious or just at a low rumble with music in the background. Either way, it was going to take a lot more booze to be able to get more sleep. Either that or they were going to have to move their tents farther away from the party area.

Prez and Amanda, Wolf and Hope, Devon and Haley all woke up late because they had not managed to fall asleep until the wee hours of the morning. None of them had been able to really sleep and had stayed up talking more than anything. They had all found that it was rather hard to be romantic with the sounds of people yelling, laughing and the sounds of bikes going in and out all night.

At breakfast the next morning, because of lack of sleep, they all gathered around a table with hot cups of coffee looking like they had partied all night. They all laughed at each other for not getting out and partying like everyone else but none of them were big drinkers and they'd had all they wanted before they went to bed last night.

"Does anyone know where they sell ear plugs in town?" Haley asked.

"No, but I definitely want to find some today even if we have to find a Walmart or Walgreens." Hope complained.

"Do you think it would help to drag our tents farther away from the others?" Amanda asked.

"Probably not. The sound from the bar might be less noticeable but the sound of the bikes coming and going is still going to be loud." Prez said. "A few times last night I felt like I was on one of those vibrating beds like you find in cheap hotels when a bunch of bikes all came in at once."

Everyone agreed with his evaluation. "We felt it too but I bet for those of you sleeping directly on the ground it must have been even worse. I'm so thankful that we went and got those air mattresses. It's really made a huge difference." Hope told them.

"Oh, babe. Can we please go get an air mattress too? My hips feel bruised from sleeping on the ground." Amanda said.

"Amanda, we won't be using the one Wolf bought for us when we go home tomorrow. You are more than welcome to it once we are gone." Haley said.

Slowly, more and more of the club members, from not only the Rescuers but the MSMC and other clubs related to the mother chapter, began to show their faces for breakfast.

Claire and Mindy, the cooks from the MSMC mother chapter, met Butcher and Margie and agreed to help them with meals and Rooster said that he would provide some of the food to feed everyone, for which Prez was very grateful since their own food bill was already high enough.

The MSMC had not had dedicated cooks before so their RV wasn't custom inside yet and Claire and Mindy had been cooking a lot over an open fire outside. They both asked to see the inside of Butcher's "Cook RV" and then came asking Rooster if they could "trick out" their RV like his.

Prez introduced everyone around and after the women had their showers, everyone decided to ride into town and first ride up and down the main drag and then they parked their bikes and walked up and down the street, mostly window shopping but the ladies did find the ear plugs they wanted. There were live bands playing and vendors had set up booths up and down the main drag offering all kinds of things from jewelry to t-shirts to purses and wallets and everything in between.

The men ran into old friends and they stood outside of shops visiting while the women cruised the shops, finding souvenirs and such and everyone had a great time.

Hope, Haley and Amanda all felt a bit overwhelmed at meeting so many new people and they were very thankful for Vie and the other women from their club. They were more familiar with how things worked and because of the sheer number of them, other women didn't give them any problems. Even the few catty ones that they ran into who tried to intimidate Hope because of her size.
