She Belongs To Him

Chap. 63: Remember What I Told You

• Lane West above as he looks to Katie Fairfield •

The smell of coffee and hot food fills the air of Annabella's Diner. The gang had pulled over for breakfast on their way to the new location. Katie had fought with Lane through the car ride, trying to fight his hands while trying to watch Sasha in the corner of her eye.

Katie is stuck between a wall behind her and Lane sitting next to the isle in the booth. He has an arm over the back of her neck. Sasha sits across from them, a spiteful look on her face.

"I think Angie knocker you around too hard." Sasha smirks at the blonde, "You're out of your damn mind."

The blonde shakes her head and crosses her arms. "My mind is crystal clear, you whore ass bitch."

Lane smacks Katie's shoulder, smirking at Sasha's heated expression. "Watch your mouth."

Katie looks to him with daggers in her eyes. "You, watch your back."

The crime lord's smug expression fades. He stares down at her darkly, a frown on his face. Sasha chuckles, rolling her dark eyes.

"You need to teach her a lesson." Sasha grabs the menu, scanning the pages. "More than just a little scare...perhaps a good spanking would suffice."

Lane nods, his eyes locked with Katie's. "I think she's deserved a good spanking."

A waitress appears. She wears a ridiculous amount of makeup that is an off shade for her pasty white complexion. She smiles at them, seeing the tension between the blonde and the blue eyed man.

"What would you darlings want for your most important meal of the day?" The waitress smiles between them, stopping when she sees Katie's bruised face. "Darling, what happened to you?"

"I got into a fight." Katie says through gritted teeth, eyeing Lane darkly. "And I'm not hungry."

Lane slowly nods, smiling to the older woman. "She will change her mind when you bring it out. She really took a beating...I want two orders of blueberry pancakes with bacon and butter pecan syrup."

The waitress grins at him, unsureness in her blue eyes. "My, someone knows exactly what he wants."

"I usually do." Lane smiles at her, nodding.

The waitress chuckles, turning to Sasha. "And you, honey?"

"Just a cup of coffee. Black." Sasha nods to her with a stretched smile. "I don't eat breakfast."

The waitress writes down the orders and nods, clicking her pen. "Alrighty then! I will have it out for you in a jiffy!"

Katie makes eye contact with Rebel a few tables down. The mixed girl gives her friend a confused look, shaking her head.

Katie mouths the words without speaking. "Lane is going to kill me."

Rebel's face goes white, her eyes and mouth growing wide. The terror inside the blonde is displayed on her friends face.

Sasha wipes her eyes and starts to get up. "I'm going to use the restroom."

Max automatically rises to her feet from the next booth over. Lola does the same. The waitress, whom had also took the previous order, looks to everyone confused.

"Take her to the restroom." Lane nods to Max.

"I'll have pancakes with confetti sprinkles and strawberry drizzle." Max tells her, following Sasha. "And a glass of 2% milk!"

The waitress goes back to ordering the other orders, being quick. Katie heavily sighs, looking out of the window at the dark clouds. Usual weather for early Spring.

Lane grabs Katie and pulls her into him, his lips brushing against her ear. She starts to fight him.

"Don't pull what you did again." Lane hisses in her ear, "You fucking scared the shit out of me!"

Katie looks to him with slanted eyes. "What? You're going to be the good guy now?"

I have to regain my dominance." The crime lord tells her with a sharp tone, "Sasha will hurt you worse than that Angie bitch if she thought you were at all a value to me."

"That's crap." The blonde shakes her head, not believing him. "You can't fool me again."

The blue eyed man stares at her for a long time with his lips pursed. "I was Do you honestly think, after all we've went through, that I'm using you?"

"You never know." Katie shrugs, her lips tight. "I won't trust a snake again...or get in bed with one."

"I love you, Katie." Lane softly tells her, brushing the hair out of her face with his finger tips. "Please have faith in me."

Katie looks to him with fire in her green eyes. "I'd rather die, because that's what will happen to me eventually."

"Keep it up and you'll get yourself killed." He hisses in her ear, "And I won't be there to save your ass."

Sasha appears, looking between the two of them. "Did I miss something?"

"No." Lane stares at her with daggers in his eyes, "Just a little chitchat between master and pet."

Katie shakes her head and shivers at Lane's words. He gives her a firm look.

"Remember what I told you." He warns, "Now be a good girl and shut your mouth."

The blonde spits her next three words at him. "I hate you."

Hey readers! Do you trust Lane's words? Is he telling the truth? Or is he trying to get on her good side for greater gain? What will happen next?!

P.S. this is what Lane sees when Katie pouts (can you see why he can't take her seriously?)
