Chapter 40: About A Girl

About A Girl - Nirvana

Chibs POV

-----

Mina's arms were wrapped around me as we rode to Gemma's. On days like that, sometimes I just needed her touch to keep going. I didn't go to Scoops and went with Mina to help with the boys. Gemma had to set up everything for Tara's service and Brooke and Unser were helping run TM.

I think Mina was excited about spending the day together again. I know I was. Even when we did absolutely nothing, I enjoyed being in her company. She was just one of those people that found something fun and exciting in even the simplest tasks.

When we pulled up to Gemma's house, I parked in the road so Gemma could leave. Before Mina got off, she gave me a quick squeeze and then let go of my waist. She stood up and got off while I sat taking my helmet off.

After I got off, she put her helmet on the seat and then wrapped her arms around me. "You a'right, love?"

She smiled and looked up at me. Her smile wasn't her normal, beautiful smile, but a sad smirk that she was trying to cast as normal. "Yeah, I'm okay."

"What's wrong?" I asked, not letting go of her.

"Just...just seems surreal, you know? Like, Tara is dead."

"I know," I sighed, swaying her from side to side slowly. "Are ya gonna be okay to bein' around the boys?"

She nodded, "Yeah, I'll be fine. Just crazy."

I leaned down and kissed her, using my hand to push her chin up. I could feel her smile on our connected lips. After I broke the kiss, I said, "We'll get through it."

Mina put her hands on my chest and said, "I know we will."

I gave her one last kiss and then took her hand, guiding her to the door. Turning the knob, I heard Gemma's heels walking around the kitchen. "Good morning, lovebirds," she chuckled as we walked in. "How was your makeout session in the street?"

I laughed and kissed her cheek. "It was great. How was watchin' us out the window?" I looked over at Mina, who was blushing. She looked down at the ground. I chuckled at the fact that she was embarrassed about that of all things. Pulling her into a hug, I looked at Gemma and said, "Look what'cha did." Mina did not find it funny and smacked my arm.

Gemma laughed and said, "The boys are still asleep. Don't wake them up." She pointed a finger at me.

Putting my hands up, I chuckled, "What am I gonna do?"

"Just keep it in your pants for twenty minutes of your life."

"Yes, Mom." Gemma gave Mina a kiss on the cheek before she walked out. "So, what'cha wanna do?" I winked at her.

She laughed and shook her head. "I'm gonna tell Gemma on you."

I pulled her over and kissed her neck. "What're ya gonna tell her?" I tickled her side and she started laughing. "What're ya gonna tell her?"

"Stop it," she laughed. "Stop it!"

"Stop what? What're ya gonna tell her?"

Mina kept laughing and we heard tiny footsteps walking up behind us. I rested my head on her shoulder.

She chuckled, "So much for that."

"Don't ya worry," I winked, "I'll get ya later."

Abel came running over. "Uncle Filip!" he belted as he ran. He jumped up and I caught him, then threw him up in the air.
