Biker roots

Chapter 9 - Try two

I flop onto the matrass and stare at the ceiling. What on god's green earth did I expect? It's a fucking bicker gang. Off course they wouldn't be gentle, polite or helpful. I look at my phone and see that I have got several text messages.

 'Hope you have settled in and had a decent meal, Love mom and dad.'

 I quickly reply. My stomach fills with dread as I open the message of Felix.

 'It's hard to figure things out if you refuse to listen to me. Please don't go. You'll break my heart.'

 And there is another one.

 'Guess, I truly messed up, tell me what I need to do to fix this. I can't go one without you.' 

A tear rolls down my cheek. 

'Fox, come back to me.'

 He is hurting I can tell. I wish he just told me the truth instead of all those lies. But he is right we do need to talk. I call him and he picks up on the first ring. 

"Fox, are you okay?" Felix says. "Not really. Are you?" I answer. "No not really." Silence. "Can you please come back, so we can talk. It's killing me." He finally says. "Felix, I can't I need to figure a couple of things out for myself. I wish you told me the truth. Now I am not sure what is and isn't." "Fox I am so sorry. I'll tell you everything. Please come back." He responds. "Felix I wouldn't do this if it wasn't important to me. Please respect that. I'll see you soon promise." "Fox, you are my girl and you always will be." I sigh I don't know what to answer. "Bye Felix."

I am drained by the emotions of the day. I change into my pajamas and crawl into bed. I snuggle up under the covers with my book 'The Math book', nerdy I know. But ready about the 250 milestones in the history of mathematics just calms me down or any other mathematics questions for that matter. Hopefully it will calm my mind and make me able to sleep.

I wake up and I see it's past noon. I scroll through my phone and look at my weather app. Perfect day for a walk in the forest, I read that there are some beautiful lakes here inside the forests. I have always loved nature, there is just something that calms me when I am inside the woods or out in the fields. Most off all the scent always calms me down and makes me happy. 

I put on some boots, black jeans and a pink girly shirt. I grab my backpack and put the jacket inside. I have a light lunch and start to walk. The forest is beautiful, it's dense and green. But mostly it smell so earthly and fresh. I could stay here all day. I use the map to navigate to the lake. It takes me half an hour until I am standing in front of this massive crystal blue lake. 

The water is beautiful and the view is even better. It is surrounded by mountains and the place is peacefully quiet. I sit down and remove my shoes. I let my feet rest in the cold water. I have only been here for a day but it's beautiful out here. Maybe even worth staying for a while.

AsI walk back I change my root to pass the bar. Maybe this time I have more luck meeting Ranger. I stand in front of the door as I decide whether or not to goin. But I know inside my heart that I have to try. When I enter the pub the guy behind the bar greets me again.

" Doll you came back." He says with a hugesmile. I walk towards him. Before I can say anything he places a whiskey on the bar right in front of him. He points at the bar chair and I take a seat. "Thank you. Tough guy." I answer. He laughs. "Boulder, you can call me Boulder." I hold out my hand. "Alex." He gently takes my hand in his and places a soft kiss on top of it. He has a cocky grin on his face when he looks in my eyes. A sparkle lit up his eyes if I didn't know any better I may think he was flirting with me. 

"Why are you carrying a back pack, doll?" he asks. I notice people are staring at us. So I lean over the bar and whisper at him. "I have something from Ranger." I answer. He looks at me intrigued while he nods and whispers back. "He is here, but he's in a meeting. I'll let you know when you can go in." "Thank you Boulder." I answer. I smile at him and sip at my drink. 

"You aren't from around here?" Boulder asks. "No I am on vacation." I answer. He laughs loudly. "Why on earth would you go on a vacation to this god forsaken part of the country? What's wrong with lying on a beach in Aruba?" I roll my eyes, do I really look like that kind of girl? "I am not a sun and sand type of girl. I am more a nature and exercise type of girl." "I can give you plenty of exercise." He adds a wink to emphasis his words. 

"Thanks, but I can take care of myself." I answer as I roll my eyes. 

"I have no doubt about that." A warm voice behind me says. I can feel how goosebumps form on my arms and a warm tingling sensation sets in my stomach.
