It's been a month since all the trouble with The Devils happened and if I thought my life had changed then it really has now. After talking it through with Dr Ashton and Reaper I decided to take Needles up on his offer. The first time I met him at his tattoo parlour I had a total panic attack at the thought of being alone with strange guys but Reaper came with me and I calmed. Now Scarlett comes with me, she said it was a good excuse to perve at hot guys with their shirts off. Three days a week I work alongside Needles and last week I did my first tattoo on Ace, it was just something simple on his leg but everyone was impressed with it.
Reaper was patched into the North Carolina chapter and he and I basically live together at the clubhouse now. He works with Knuckles at a warehouse the club own so Scarlett and I have gotten really close as our men work the same hours. I almost feel normal and it's great, I've never been happier.
However, tonight is the night I have been dreading for a while. Tonight my brother and Reaper are going to fight. Everyone is in the gym, rock music playing and drinks flowing but I can't stop my hands from shaking
"Why do they have to do this again?" I ask Scarlett as she sits beside me and hands me a beer
"It's how the club handles things like this. Two club members have a tantrum and they get sent here. Once the fight is over they shake hands and it's over, they never argue again. Knuckles and BFG fought a few months ago after BFG scratched Knuckles bike, that was fun to watch. I didn't realise BFG was so scrappy." Scarlett snarls as she claws the air like a cat
"Hey guess what!" Indigo says as she sits down at my other side
"What?" I question as I light yet another cigarette, they are doing nothing to calm me.
"I just booked to be your first client at the tattoo shop. I was nervous about Needles touching me again, but now you can do me!" Indigo smiles
"Who's doing you?" Scarlett gasps
"You wound me! I always said if you want a lesbian experience to come to me and you go to Evie instead. I could cry." Scarlett pretends to cry and wipes a fake tear from her eye
"Hands off my woman." Bullet growls as he pulls Indigo into his lap
"Fine jeez! What about you Evie? Can I tempt you?" Scarlett winks and I laugh.
"Thank you for trying to cheer me up, I'll be happy once this is over." I say as I pat her thigh
"We've got you girl and your boys will be fine, you can nurse Reaper back to health in bed afterwards." Skye says as she wheels up beside us.
"I just put $100 on Reaper." Circuit says as he walks up beside Skye
"Nah, my moneys on Socket, have you seen that boy fight? He's got this in the bag." Bullet replies. They're betting on my boyfriend and my brother, I can't wait until this is over.
"Alright listen up." Knuckles says from the ring as the music cuts out
"Only three rules. No biting, no cock shots and no eye gouging. The fights over when one taps out or is unconscious." Knuckles announces to the excited crowd as they cheer and whistle
"Did he just say unconscious?" I ask Scarlett
"Don't worry, they're going to be fine." She replies as she wraps her arm around my shoulder. I look up and see my brother step into the ring only wearing basketball shorts and sneakers. His hands are wrapped as he punches out in the air with anger all over his face. If he hurts Reaper I'll kick his ass myself, but then if Reaper hurts my brother I'll be pissed with him too. Fuck I'm so torn. I bury my face in my hands as I sigh
"Damn your man in fine." Skye says and I look up to see Reaper in the ring, dressed just like my brother in only shorts and sneakers. If I wasn't so worried about the fight I would totally be turned on by his sweaty bare chest.
"Let's do this!" Knuckles says from between them, then he steps back and it begins.
"Oh god I can't watch." I gasp as Socket throws the first punch. I bury my face in Scarlett's shoulder
"You don't have to stay if it's too much, I can come get you when it's over." Scarlett says as she strokes my back
"No I need to be here for both of them, I just can't watch them hurt each other." I reply
"Fuck Reaper packs a punch." Indigo says from beside me, I can hear people hollering and cheering but I can't bring myself to look.
"First rounds over Evie, you can look now." Scarlett says. I look up and see my brother in one corner and Reaper in the other, both of them are bleeding and swollen, Doc is seeing to Socket and Cordelia is wiping blood from Reapers cheek.
"How many rounds are there?" I ask Scarlett
"It goes on until it ends." Scarlett shrugs. A girl in what apparently passes for underwear these days hands out trays of drinks and I happily take a whiskey and a beer.
Round eight ends and I don't know how much more I can take. Both are exhausted, bloody and swollen, but neither of them will give in.
"Come on I'll hang out in the clubhouse with you." Scarlett says pulling me to my feet
"I can't leave them, even if I can't watch." I reply pulling my hand back
"Well I can't watch you panicking, chain smoking and drinking heavier than the guys." Scarlett says but before I can answer Knuckles calls out from the middle of the ring
"Listen up. Both competitors have spoken and we're settling on a draw." Knuckles announces and I feel my whole body relax. Reaper and Socket stand together in the ring and do the whole bro hug back slap thing before climbing out. Boos resonate through the gym but the fact it's over is the best thing I've heard all day.
"Well there you go, all over, you can relax now. I need to go find my man and get him against the nearest flat surface." Scarlett smirks before walking off into the crowd
"Evie." I turn around and see my brother, his left eye swollen, cuts on his cheeks and eyebrow and a marble of purple and green appearing on his face already
"I'm so mad at you for fighting you asshole." I say as I pull him into a hug, god he's gross and sweaty.
"You know I'm proud of you right? And as long as you're happy I won't stand in the way. But if he hurts you, I'll kill him." Socket says before kissing my cheek and walking away, hopefully in search of a shower.
I turn towards the ring and see Reaper coming towards me. I quickly close the gap between us and jump into his arms. I wrap my legs around his waist as he wraps his arms around me and squeezes my ass firmly.
"I'm pissed at you for fighting too you know." I say and he laughs
"Well we both agreed we had to end it before you chewed your whole hand off and smoked the compound out of cigarettes." He smirks and I playfully slap him on the chest. Reaper reaches up and lightly tugs at my hair, tilting my head back, before our lips crash together, his tongue glides into my mouth and I moan at his taste
"I think we should head back to the clubhouse and get this hot body in the shower." I say and he smirks
"I have just one thing to do first." He says as he sets me down on my feet
"Evie, I love you more than anything and I want you to be my old lady." Reaper says and I realise all the girls have gathered around, Cordelia holding a white box
"Definitely. I would love to be your old lady." I smile before he pulls me in for an earth shattering kiss.
"Umm Reaper? Wanna let her go so I can open the box?" I hear Cordelia and smile against Reapers lips. I look to Cordelia and she opens up the box to reveal my very own property cut
"How does it look?" I ask as I spin around to show the girls the back
"It would look a lot better on our bedroom floor." Reaper whispers in my ear and I feel my cheeks heat up. I squeal when Reaper picks me up and begins marching towards the clubhouse.
