"Are you sure you wanna risk being discovered, spying on your family's club?" Dav asked through our earbuds as I led him and Raden the way to my home.

As I debated whether to respond, I began thinking of the circumstances that led the three us here.

THE PREVIOUS DAY....

I was straddled over my bike while leaning over the handlebars when Rev approached. I immediately sat up and smiled in greeting.

"My, that's quite the wobbly smile you got there."

"Sorry, I'm just not in a smiley mood."

"Need a listening ear?" She offered as she straddled her nearby bike, backward to face me.

I nodded and proceeded to explain the situation and show her the tattoo on my shoulder.

"I'm gonna take my belt to his ass." Rev fast as lightning shot up and began unbuckling her belt.

I went around to her side and placed my hands on top of hers.

"I don't want you to whip him."

"Then what do you want me to do? I don't care that he's grown and prez, I won't tolerate this behavior." She coldly uttered as she buckled her belt.

"Right now, he thinks he's in the right, and whipping him won't make him sincerely admit he's wrong."

"You're right. Let me think."

For the next fifteen minutes, we wracked our brains for a solution. As I was about to call it quits, Rev excitedly snapped her fingers.

"I've got it!"

"Yes?!"

"Back your suitcase. I'm putting you up at a fancy hotel, curtesy of Mavros's credit card!"

"But..Ohhh, I get it. If I disappear, he'll have to stew on his choices and apologize to get me back?" I excitedly leaned forward in my chair.

"No, no. You'll stay there, recuperate, while you make a list of demands that'll put him in his place. Only after he completes the list and apologizes in person should you return."

"Will it work?"

"I'd bet my life insurance policy. He's got it down bad for you if you haven't noticed." She chuckled as she patted my hands.

"The trio might have mentioned it." I blushed.

"Well, alright then. You go pack, and I'll go hunt down the trio."

PRESENT DAY....

Currently, Raden, Dav, and I are lounging in the MAYBELLE Hotels' most expensive suit. I was in the middle of ranting to Jesse over a video call while the other two were playing video games.
