Chapter 1
Walking into the house after work, my boyfriend Jeff is sitting on the couch...again. "Hey." I say. "Hey." he says back. "How'd the job hunt go?" I ask. "Didn't go." he tells me. "Why not?" I ask. "Didn't feel like it. I'll go tomorrow." he tells me. "That's what you said yesterday." I tell him, getting irritated. "What's for dinner?" he asks. I look at him and say "Whatever you cook. I have that work thing tonight." I tell him. "You can't cook before you go?" he asks. "I don't have time. Plus I worked all day. You aren't helpless and I damn sure ain't your mama." I tell him. "You know, you never do anything for me." he says and that pisses me off. "Really? I don't do anything for you? I pay all the bills here so that you can sit on your ass and not do a damn thing. Then I come home and I cook and clean and do your fucking laundry while you don't do anything but sit on the fucking couch and go out with your friends so don't tell me I don't do anything for you." I tell him, almost yelling. I head to the bedroom to get changed before heading out the door. "You know what? Since I don't do anything for you? You can get your shit and get the fuck out of my house. We're done." I tell him before walking out the door and slamming it.
After my work thing is done, I head to the clubhouse and see my brother sitting at a table with Bishop and a man I've never seen before and I walk over. Kissing Bishop's cheek before kissing my brother's, I say "Hi Bish, Brother." My brother pulls out the seat between him and this mystery man and I take a seat. Sitting down, my brother says "Mana this is our Padrino, Marcus Alvarez. Padrino, this is my sister Rosa." Gilly says. I hold out my hand and say "Nice to meet you Padrino." He nods and says "You too chica." My brother looks at me and asks "What are you doing here? Thought you had that work thing?" I nod and say "I did and it wasn't as bad as I was anticipating but don't really want to go home right now." I tell him. "Why not? Everything okay?" Bishop asks. "Yeah. Just don't want to be there while the mooch is moving out of my house." I say. "You finally kicking him out?" Gilly asks. "Yeah. Should have done it a long time ago." I say. "Who's he mooch?" Marcus asks. "Now ex-boyfriend. Won't work. Figured if I'm doing everything on my own I might as well be on my own." I tell him and he nods. "Makes sense." he says and Bishop and Gilly look back and forth between us. "Gilly, let's play a game of pool." Bishop says. Gilly nods and they leave me alone at the table with Marcus.
"So what is it you do?" he asks. "I work for a construction company as an office admin. Pretty boring stuff." I tell him. "And that work thing?" he asks. "Just a bunch of people getting together for drinks but my boss was there and said it would look good for my career there if I showed up. I just stayed for a couple of drinks before coming here." I tell him and he nods. "And this ex of yours? He gonna be a problem to get out?" he asks and I smile at his concern. "Shouldn't be. If he is, it's nothing I can't handle and worse case I can take a couple of the guys to kick him out for me." I tell him. He nods again. I sit there with him in comfortable silence and we just enjoy our drinks. I finish mine and ask "You want another?" He smiles softly and says "Yeah. Thanks sweetheart." I smile softly back and head to get me and him both another beer. Bringing the beer back, I look over at Bishop and Gilly and they are glancing at me and talking. I wonder what that's about. I sit back down with Padrino and we both just enjoy our drink and listen to the music that's playing. After I finish my drink, I say "I better head home and make sure he's out and didn't trash my house." I tell him. He stands up with me and Bishop and Gilly walk over to us. "You headed home?" Gilly asks. "Yeah. Gonna make sure he's out." I tell him. "I'll follow you over." he tells me. "Okay. Thanks." I say and look at Bishop. He sat down at the table and Marcus did too. I lean down and kiss Bishop's cheek and say "See you later Bish." He nods and says "Be safe bebita." I smile and nod and look at Marcus. "It was really nice meeting you Padrino." I say, holding out my hand. He takes my hand and kisses my knuckles and says "Ditto Princesa." before letting go of my hand. Gilly and I walk out of the clubhouse and he asks "What was that?" and smirks. "I have no idea." I tell him. I get into my car and he mounts his bike and follows me out of the yard and to my house.
Pulling up at the house, I walk up and see that the door is standing open a little. Rolling my eyes, my brother steps in front of me and says "Stay here." I nod and he walks in and checks out the place before calling for me to come inside. I look around and see that he at least didn't trash the place. I move to the bedroom and all of his things are still there. "He didn't pack anything." I say. I head to the kitchen and see a note on the counter. I know you didn't mean it. Went out with the guys. Be back later. I roll my eyes and say "You wanna help me pack his shit?" He nods and says "I'll call the prospect to come change the locks. There should be a couple in the office." he tells me and I nod. An hour later, I have all of Jeff's shit packed up and sitting by the curb and the locks are changed. Gilly tells me "I'll take the couch. You ain't staying here alone tonight." I nod and he calls Bishop. "Yeah...I'm staying at Rosa's tonight...Asshole didn't move out. Said he'd be back later...Yeah, Prospect helped me change the locks and his shit is boxed up by the curb...Yeah, I'll tell her...Later." he says before ending the call. I look at him and he says "Bishop said if you need anything to call him." I nod and say "Thanks Mano." He hugs me and says "I won't let anything happen to you." I nod knowing he'll protect me always.
A few hours later, we are sitting on the couch talking when we hear the door knob jiggling. Then we hear a knock on the door. Gilly walks over and opens the door but blocks the doorway. "Your shit is by the curb. Better get it and go. Trash day is tomorrow." Gilly says. "Why won't my key work Rosa?" he asks looking past Gilly at me. "I told you to get your shit and get out of my house. I wasn't playing. You didn't do it so I did. And your key don't work because I changed the fucking locks." I tell him. "Why?" he asks. "I'm tired of doing everything by myself. If I'm doing it all by myself I might as well be by myself. We're over. Done. Get your shit and go before I call the rest of the club to come and help you." I tell him and he looks at me shocked before getting his things from the curb and putting them in his car and heading out. "I don't want you alone for a while. There will always be someone here with you or you'll be at the clubhouse." he tells me and I know it's just because he doesn't trust Jeff. "Okay Gilly." I tell him before we start turning in for the night.
