Chapter Twenty-One
Savannah
Rivetand I head inside the clubhouse. We grab a couple of sodas from behind the bar and decide to play some pool before Tech and Buzz get back with our groceries. Candy and Trix are sitting on one of the couches, watching Rivet and I. They look like they’re plotting something, and I don’t trust either one of those bitches.
The other cut bunnies are cool as shit. It’s just these two bimbos I can’t stand. I rack the balls while Rivet prepares to take her shot. We’re talking and playing, and every so often, I catch Candy throwing me nasty looks. We’re about halfway through our third game when Raze comes walking inside with Saint. As soon as Rivet sees Saint, she looks anywhere but in his direction.
“Is something going on with you and Saint?” I whisper to her.
“What? No, no way. Why would you think that?” she answers a little too quickly.
I smile and shake my head. “Oh, no reason, Riv.”
“Look who I found,” Raze shouts to me as Tech and Buzz walk in. Both of them carrying roughly three grocery bags in each hand.
“About time y’all got back!” Rivet exclaims. She starts for the kitchen and I walk over to Raze. I stand on my tiptoes and press a kiss to his lips.
“Get into any trouble in here?” Raze questions.
I feign shock, bringing my hand to my chest. “Who me? Why would you think little ol’ me would get into trouble?”
The corner of his mouth turns up in amusement. “You’re real fucking cute, ya know that?” he whispers.
“Why thank you.” I wink at him, then turn and start for the kitchen.
“Where you going, Kitty?” Raze calls after me.
I look at him over my shoulder. “I’m going to cook. I have a BBQ to prepare for.”
“I have something you can prepare for,” he replies with a smirk and winks.
“You’re too much,” I say on a giggle. He blows me a kiss and I pretend to catch it before walking to the kitchen. Rivet is in here instructing Tech and Buzz where to put all the groceries. As they’re finishing up, Tink and Lolita show up to help.
“Hey, bitches,” Tink shouts as they walk into the kitchen. Leave it to Tink to make a grand entrance.
“Where did you disappear to last night?” Lolita inquires. I look to Tech and Buzz.
Buzz throws his hands up. “Don’t worry, we’re leaving.”
With that they walk out of the kitchen, leaving us girls free to talk. The brothers have been known to gossip more than a group of school girls. It’s pretty humorous most of the time. You’d never expect big, scary biker men to blab to each other about anything and everything.
“So?” Tink presses. “Where did you go?”
I tell them about taking Raze to my favorite chill spot to talk and how he carried me to my bed after I fell asleep. Then I tell them about our talk this morning and how he said he wants me to be his girl. When I’m done telling them everything, their jaws have hit the floor.
“Raze? Savage Menaces MC’s Hellraiser, Raze? He actually said that he wants you to be his girl?” Lolita asks in disbelief.
“Y’all should have seen them about an hour ago. All cuddled up and kissing on each other,” Rivet tells them. Then she pretends to gag. We all laugh.
“Seriously, though. This is a pretty big deal for Raze,” Tink tells us. “Of course you would be the woman to be able to grab his attention.” She’s talking to me only this time. She has a wide grin on her face. “He needs a woman like you.”
I respond with a smile and get to work preparing food for the BBQ. The guys will be grilling burgers and brats. The four of us will be making all kinds of side dishes and some desserts.
We’re finishing up with our cooking and only needed to shoo a couple of brothers away. There’s still an hour until they start grilling, so we put the food in proper containers and get it put away in the fridge. We walk out to the main room. It’s filling up with brothers and some of their families. Most of the cut bunnies are here too. They’re dressed more modestly to be respectful of it being a family day. Pops has always included them in the BBQ because they’re part of the Savage family.
“I’m going to go sit outside,” I tell the girls. It’s a gorgeous day and after spending so much time in the kitchen, I’m ready for some fresh air.
“I’ll come with you,” Tink responds. Rivet is looking toward the pool tables. I look to see what she’s looking at and see Saint. He’s playing a game of pool with Raze.
“I’ll stay with Riv,” Lolita grins, seeing what I saw. I nod at her and make my way toward the back door with Tink. We walk outside and there’s nobody out here. It looks like some of the brothers or cut bunnies set up some tables and chairs. There are a few games set up too, like bags, ladder golf, and beersbee. There’s also a big fire pit out here that looks like it’s been prepared for a bonfire for tonight. I half sit, half fall into a chair, ready to relax and hang out with my family.
