Chapter 8

Mia's POV

A couple of hours into the party I was finally warming up to some of the guys wifes or "Old Ladies" as the guys liked to call them. When a biker decides he likes a woman well enough to keep her as his personal property, he takes her as his Old Lady. I learned that the term is meant as an endearment, not one of disrespect. Once he has introduced her as his Old Lady to his brothers, he will usually present her with a property patch to wear on her vest that says "Property of _________" (A/N club name followed by biker's name and the patch is in club colors.) Being an Old Lady is greatly respected with the bikers. Sometimes there is a legal marriage and sometimes there isn't. This is strictly a personal choice with the couple. I thought it was kindy of cute.

A few of the Old ladies were nice and even took it upon themselves to make me feel comfortable. I helped set up the buffet and get the dessert table set. I noticed that Snoopy kept looking at me smiling or winking sometimes. I keep trying to sneak peaks at him without being caught, but Gary's old lady must have noticed "So you like Snoopy?" I looked at her not sure how to repsond.

"Um, I.. I um.. I'm not sure." She tilted her head back and laughed.

"Yeah honey you like him, it's written all of your face." she gave me an encouraging smile.

"I know your new to this club, but there are a few things you should know. One is Kyla thinks she is going to be Snoopy's old lady one day, she's what the guys call a sweet butt, honey." I must have looked confused cause she explained it to me. "A Sweet Butt are the women that hang-around at the clubhouse, they hook up with the guys. Most of them have a goal to be an Old Lady by one of the club members and Kyla has her claws sunk into Snoopy."

"Oh, I didn't know he was seeing her, he hadn't said anything." I was trying not show the hurt on my face, but I must have failed.

"Look I didn't mean to upset you, I just didn't want you to be blind sided when Kyla pulls something, and it's a matter of time with the way Snoopy keeps looking at you. Kyla isn't going to sit back and let you walk in and take the role she thinks is hers. I just hope Snoopy puts her in her place before that happens."

"The second thing to remember is to always stand your ground and don't mess with another Old Ladys man." she gave me a hug "Well I have Old lady things to attended to, we'll catch up more later. I like you Doc, you will be good for our Snoopy, I can tell." With that she walked away leaving me sitting by myself.

I sat in slience for a while sipping on my margarita just taking in my surroundings. I felt a hand pat my back and I looked over my shoulder to see Orangutan smiling down at me. "You having fun? Anybody giving you any trouble?"

"Um, No" He raised an eyebrow at my answer. "I mean Yes I'm having fun, and no, no one has bothered me."

"You and Gary's old lady, Shelly seem to be getting along good?"

"Yeah, she's trying to teach me the ropes." I laughed out. I looked up to see Snoopy with some Blonde in his arms she had herself pressed againist him and was whispering in his ear. He smiled at whatever she said and I watched him grab her hand and lead her towards the back of the clubhouse. I couldn't see which door they went into cause of the crowd. I stood up to leave when Orangutan stopped me.

"It's not what you think." I shook my head, I need to leave before my eyes gave me away. I've always been an open book with my emotions.

"Yeah, I know. Besides there's nothing going on with Snoopy and I." I tried to pushed past him but he grab me and planted a big kiss on my lips. I pushed him off and instantly became angry, he smiled knowly at me.

"That's what I thought, you like him"

"What difference does it make, I not right for him or this club" I pushed pasted him and headed upstairs. Before I reached the stairs a woman stepped in front of me stopping me in my tracks.

"You're right you don't belong here, let alone with Snoopy or any of the guys so take a hike"

I pushed her out of my way and stormed up the stairs. I couldn't take this, I already knew I didn't belong here but her tell me that confirmed what I already knew.
