My hands scrub my face. “I get that it sucks babe, I do, but it’s really for your own good. We don’t know what’s going to happen and this is really a last resort but it’s happening now.”
“Well what the hell is this big thing that we’re all hiding from?”
I brace myself for impact. “I can’t tell you.”
She starts going off and I swear to God I’m trying to pay attention but I just can’t. I get that she’s pissed, I told her shit like this would happen. There would be things I couldn’t tell her. This is one of those things.
“This is just really frustrating for me!” She crosses her arms as she looks at me. “Are you even listening?”
“Yes, I am. I get that you’re frustrated, I really do.” Tip I learned from my dad. If a chick is going on you listen to the last sentence and repeat it, then they think you were listening to the whole speech. “I tried to warn you about this in the beginning. There are some things that are club business that you just can’t know. None of the girls do. You just need to trust that we have your best interest at heart and we are doing what we are to keep you safe.” I stand up taking her in my arms. “I love you and I don’t want anything to happen to you. This right now is how we prevent that.” I pull her close and press my lips to hers hoping if I kiss her she’ll just give up and stop arguing with me.
“I hate this shit, but I guess it’s what I agreed to when I said yes.” She groans. “I get to pick who comes with me, if it can’t be you.” Her finger points at me and I laugh.
“If I’m honest, babe, you’ll get a prospect to leave the clubhouse with. The brothers will be on runs and watching the clubhouse. We won’t be allowed to leave like that. Pres gives the orders as to where we all need to be and I can guarantee you he isn’t gonna have me on babysitting duty.” I regret what I say as soon as it leaves my mouth.
“Babysitting?” She arches an eyebrow at me.
“Now you know damn well that’s not what I meant. It’s just what we call it.” I’m really not helping my case and I need to quit while I’m behind.
“I’ll play this dumb little lockdown game but you need to know I’m pissed as hell about it and you owe me big time.” She pokes me in the chest and I can’t help but laugh.
It’s not the best circumstance but we will definitely make the best of it.
