"I will kill you!" Ivy said to me, looking at me angrily.
Storm laughed as he took a break from the tattoo and looked up at me.
"You're almost done," he said to Ivy, who turned to him. "I'm sorry it hurts like hell," she said to Storm, who laughed. "I'm the one you're threatening, not Storm," I said to Ivy, laughing, who looked at me with furrowed eyebrows.
“I’m sorry, baby, it’s stronger than me,” she told me.
“You know you’ll be punished for this,” I replied, laughing. Her eyes searched me and she grinned cheekily.
“I freaking hope so,” she answered me.
It's been three weeks since Ivy decided to stay with me and we ended up in lockdown. I never dreamed in my life that I could lead a life like this. From the start, I knew she was the one; we fit together like puzzle pieces, and every day seemed even better than the last. Alice said it was love at first sight... although for us, it was more like first strike. But she was right. From the first moment I saw Ivy, I fell completely and unconditionally for her.
My world was finally complete, and when I found myself deciding to get a tattoo during the boring lockdown period, she wanted one too. I was hoping she would get an Ol' Lady's tattoo, but she said I could wait for it. I was used to the pain of a tattoo - I've had many - but her delicate skin was being pricked for the first time.
"Give me 10 more minutes and we'll be done," Storm said and continued while Ivy grimaced.
"Ace is sitting in front of the house again," said Ink, who looked out the window.
I turned to him and watched my brother as he lit a cigarette.
"What is he doing in front of the safe house all the time?" asked Ink.
"The girl still doesn't talk but she tolerates the women and...Ace," I replied.
"Does she have a crush on him?" he asked me.
"What the heck, a crush? Do you know what she's been through?" Ivy asked him angrily.
"No?" he answered.
"Well, neither do we... but whatever it is, she doesn't feel threatened by Ace. And maybe he can help us get through to her," Ivy said and he nodded.
I looked at her proudly as she defended the woman. I know that Ink meant no harm and that he was certainly just too young to understand a lot of things, but Ivy had become very protective. She had a lot of time to talk and learn with dad and Alice, and she took her work seriously, and I liked that. She put her heart and blood into it, and I couldn't be prouder of her. "I hope she gets better soon," she said sadly. "Then I'll take her to the gym and teach her how to beat up idiots like you," she added with a grin.
Ink just looked at me, and I shook my head; she was just upset and the lockdown is hard for us all.
We had been here for weeks waiting for release, but the safety of the girl and all of us was more important than traveling or shopping. The girl at the hospital was in a coma, and Tom was keeping her safe as we did with the girl in the safe house.

Ivy explained to her family that the gym is not ready yet, and we will come as soon as it is ready. From the conversations with Pete, we found out that Jane is doing much better now. We don't know whether it's the psychiatrist's fault or Bane's fault. She left her bully husband, and after Pete found out what he had done, he kicked him out of the MC. Between her and Bane, there were probably unexplained feelings that are now probably known to everyone.

"The gym looks good! I hope you can open it soon," Storm said to change the subject.
"Well, it was a pretty big undertaking bringing in our furniture... so I think I'll wait to buy all the stuff," she answered him.
She was right when our things arrived there was a lot going on. The boys had to unload everything at the gate and carry it into our house. It was quite tedious, and carrying the gym equipment from the gate was definitely difficult. I looked at the gym that was being built and smiled. She had seen the old shop that was empty a few doors from the bar, and since we had nothing better to do anyway, we rebuilt it and her gym will be soon there.

"I'm done," Storm said as he moved the chair to the side and stood up.
"Freaking finally," I heard Ivy answer as she got up from the lounger.
"Well, maybe you should have started with a heart or something and not spent weeks tattooing a sleeve," laughed Storm.
"It's perfect," she said as she looked at herself in the mirror. "Yeah, just perfect," I said as I looked at her and didn't talk about the tattoo.
She was perfect in every way, and I knew that I didn't want to live without her anymore. She was the queen of my heart, and I freaking love her. I will spend every day making her happy and showing her how much I love her.

When she turned to me, she gave me her charming smile, and I could only grin. I know that we will still learn a lot about each other, and our life here will certainly not be easy, but as long as we love each other, everything else is going to be okay.
"Let's go home, my queen," I said to her, and she came to me and took my hand as I got up.
"Everywhere with you, my king," she said smiling...life is good at last, I am sure of that now.
