Arch Your Back (BWWM)

Raise Your Glass

Marco's POV

The heat radiating from the sun disturbed my slumber. I squint trying to open my eyes and immediately shut them due to the overwhelming pounding sensation from my hangover. I sit up and swing my feet onto the ground, and I look down and realize I'm fully naked.

"What the fuck," I thought, while turning over to see a blonde naked woman in my bed.

"Oh my fucking god," I say to myself as I place my hands in my head. I just did the dumbest shit possible.

A nudge the woman. "Ayo, you gotta go. Get the fuck up!" She slowly rises out of the bed and begins to grab her shirt.

We're interrupted by the sound of my door opening and standing there in tears, I see Violet. She runs away before I could say anything.

Violet's POV

I cried so much last night that when I woke up this morning my pillow was still soaked from my tears. I hated feeling like this and even after everything I just wanted to be in Marco's arms. I love that man and I just can't walk away from our relationship. We've been through too much to just call it quits.

I showered and decide to get dress and go see Marco. Hopefully, with a new day and we can have a level-headed conversation without arguing. I hopped in Cherry and drove over to the clubhouse and when I walked in it was pretty quiet. Rage has been living with Sage so I never see him here during the day unless they're having a meeting.

I walk towards the back rooms and open Marco's door to his room. I'm frozen in shock as I see a naked woman getting out of the bed and putting HIS shirt on. I couldn't even speak to him, I did the best thing I could do in that moment. I walked away because this man doesn't deserve my tears or anger.

Marco will never have to worry about me ever again.

Marco's POV

It's been 8 months and I still think about her every day. I haven't seen her since and she avoids me at all cost and I don't blame her. After having this time to reflect, I know I fucked up real bad. Rage didn't talk to me for about three weeks unless it was related to the club. I was a complete asshole and almost lost my best friend too. I ask Rage about her often and he refuses to update me on any part of her life.

Rage proposed to Sage a month after that night. I was happy for them and jealous at the same time because they had the life I knew I wanted. Violet deserved that life too, and she deserves to be someone's wife even if she's not mine. They didn't want a long engagement and wanted to get married quick. Today is the day of their wedding and I'm in the room of the clubhouse with Rage getting dressed. Sage refused to allow us to wear our cuts so we're in suits.

I helped him fix his bowtie as he visibly nervous about getting married. "Bro, calm down. In a few hours, you'll be a married man with a beautiful wife!" I tell him trying to calm his nerves.

"I just hope she's happy. I really want this to work for us. I've loved her since the first time I set eyes on her." He said reminiscing about meeting her for the first time.

I peek at my watch, and see that it's time to leave. "Come on man, I've got to get you to the house before Sage beats my ass again."

Rage laughs as I remind him of her beating my ass after she found out I cheated on Violet. I've never been that close to death before in my life. Her chokehold is insane and I pray Rage never experiences that.

We head out on a path I know far too well, to Violet's house. It was an outdoor wedding that she offered to have in her backyard. Her house sits on several acres and it's beautiful in the back so it will be a night to remember. We pull up and the wedding coordinator quickly grabs Rage and I. We enter the backyard and receives cheers and clapping as we take our spots next to the Reverend.
