A Big No-No ( Mature 18+)

Chapter 5

My parents upon their death had left me a substantial amount of money, enough to get me through school and set me up in my own place when I was ready. Pops had been in charge of overseeing the funds and with Z's degree and knack for investing it had grown substantially so that I could afford pretty much any house I wanted. As an added bonus there was also enough that I could choose where or even if I wanted to work, which was a fantastic kind of freedom and I planned to take total advantage of it, only accepting a job I thought I would be happy in.

We spent the bulk of the morning driving around with the realtor looking at the various houses that were currently up for sale before finding one that was in the same neighbourhood as the house that Rio had purchased a couple of years ago. We took our time wandering around the various rooms in the house, checking out the fenced back yard, and when the realtor stepped outside to take a call, quietly squealing to each other in excited as we started to plan out the way our house was going to look when it was officially ours.

When the realtor came back inside I didn't want to wait, unwilling to risk losing the house I contacted the bank to advise them I would be make a large transaction purchase in the form of a house. I was not surprised to be transferred to the bank manager whom informed me as Pops was the trustee on the account that he would have to come in and approve it. Giving my quick agreement to the bank manager, I hung up and immediately contacted Pops,

"Hi Pops!"

"Hi Sugar, what can I do for you?"

"We found one Pops!"

"Already? That was fast!"

"Yes and it is perfect, but I know you have to approve it so can you come and see it tomorrow evening with us?"

"Sure Sugar, tomorrow evening works. I'll be there!"

"Thanks Pops, see you soon!"

Hanging up I was so excited I gave a little squeal and threw my arms around Tawny as we went back to dreaming of where we would put our things and what we would need to add to make it a home. The realtor agreed to the appointment again the following evening with Pops but advised she would start on the required paperwork to have it ready should he also be in agreement.

Zion's POV

I had only heard part of the conversation but knew it was likely Mea that had called as he only called her and Tawny "Sugar".

"What did Mea want?" I casually questioned as we got on our bikes to head to our meeting with Black Hearts MC.

"She found a house she wants to purchase for her and Tawny to live in."

"Absolutely not!" I exclaimed

"It's Mea's money and she is free to do with it as she pleases. They are women now and they have no interest in living with your mother and I, much like you."

"But they are women, I don't need your protection, they do."

"I think you underestimate them, but it doesn't matter. I will go and see the house and if it is appropriate then I will approve the purchase."

"Jesus dad!" I roared before slamming on the starter and tearing off, seething that he would just give into them that easily. I drove fast weaving in and out of traffic, wringing Mea's neck in my mind for not being the quiet, shy girl that Tawny was. Being willing to listen and do what she was told for a change and stay put until she was married off to some nice banker or something.

Yeah right like she would ever be happy with some boring old banker, and forget her ever listening to someone else and doing what she was told... she hadn't done it when she was a child and that certainly wasn't going to change now.
