Measure of a Lover

Chapter 5

"How you doing, sweetheart?" Gemma inquired.

"I'm doing pretty well. Work keeps me busy during the day. I've gotten used to being by myself in the house now." Kit chuckled.

"That's good. Have you thought anymore about dating Tig?" Gemma queried.

"Yes and no." Kit replied.

"Oh?"

"I do enjoy his company. Like I enjoy everyone's company. He and I seem to have the same sense of humor. I just don't know though." Kit confessed.

"What's there to know? I think you two would be very compatible with one another." Gemma told her.

"I guess." Kit sighed.

"Don't turn him down if he asks you out." Gemma said as some of the bikers entered the clubhouse.

"I'll think about it." Kit smiled.

Gemma smirked again before getting up to greet the bikers. After everyone had arrived, Gemma announced dinner was ready. The women always ate first so Kit got in line to make herself a plate. She made two beef tacos and two brisket tacos with cheese, tomatoes, onions, and two helpings of rice. Tig decided he'd sit with Kit and Quinn quickly followed him. Tig made three brisket tacos with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream with a helping of rice and a helping of beans. She shook her head as she looked over his plate making him laugh at her reaction. Quinn asked her how she was doing so Kit told him she was doing a lot better these days although it was hard for her to mow her grass and do some of the "man's jobs" around the house which made the tall blond laugh. He offered to come over and mow her lawn earning a wide smile and a thanks from her. It made Tig a little jealous but he remained quiet. Besides, once he was "officially" dating Kit, he could take over those duties for her. The trio talked about what all help she needed with and the tasks she wanted done around the house.

She wanted to rearrange the living room, the lawn needed to be mowed, and the garage door needed to be fixed. Tig piped up that he'd help too making Kit smile at him in thanks. The trio made plans for the two men to come over to her house that Sunday to get the work done. She promised she'd cook for them as a thank you for all their hard work. After everyone had eaten, the music was cranked up, the crow eaters began arriving, and the alcohol began flowing in earnest. The trio had a shot of Whiskey together before Quinn decided he wanted to go play pool with Happy leaving Tig alone with Kit. It was now or never before they were interrupted by someone else, Tig figured.

"So, I guess I should officially ask you out." Tig stated making her laugh.

"I guess so." She replied as she looked over at him, "So what does this mean for us?"

"That we're officially dating. I don't think we'll have to wait long before Gemma starts badgering me about inking you with my crow." Tig chuckled.

"I'd be happy to sport your crow. I would, however, like it be a little more feminine than what Gemma is sporting." Kit responded making Tig smile.

He loved hearing she would be proud to sport his crow.

"I'll let Happy know about that when the time comes. Where do you want it to go?" He asked.

"On my chest right above my heart." She quickly retorted.

"Sounds perfect." Tig grinned as Gemma approached their table.

"Good evening you two." Gemma started out, "Have you asked her yet?"

"I asked her to go out with me and we have plans for a date on Monday." Tig replied.

"Good. You two will be good for one another." Gemma told the pair making Kit chuckle.

"That's what you keep saying." Kit laughed making Tig laugh too.
