head.”
“Ah… I was just thinking about how much you drive me
crazy…”
“I drive you crazy?” he harshly interrupts, apparently I’ve just insulted him.
“Yes, now please let me finish.”
He grunts, twice.
“I’ll take that as a yes.” I lightheartedly chuckle,
and smile. “So yeah, you drive me crazy a
lot of the time. But , sometimes
I forget how much you’ve helped me, and the shit you’ve been through in your
life. I wanna say thanks for being there.”
The line goes dead silent.
“Big?”
“Yeah?” he answers in a low husky tone.
“Did you hear me?”
“What time is it?”
I glance over to the oversized clock hanging on my
wall. “A quarter past eight, why?”
“I’m marking the date and time in the calendar. That
Bink, the most important and infuriating woman of my existence, said something
that was sweet and said thank
you. I want to remember this day forever.”
I roll my eyes. What a sarcastic asshole. Back to the
Big Dick I know, go figure.
“I’m hanging up now,” I warn, seriously.
“Alright…but no more texting Gunz during church and no
more cock talk with Gunz… ever . Ya
got me?”
“Yes, sir.” I roll my eyes again like an errant child,
and mock salute him, even though I know he can’t see me. He’s lucky I’m
refraining myself from unleashing a rather juicy retort. I keep them bottled up
and one of these days they are all going to explode out of me like a ticking
time bomb, and I won’t be able to control the disastrous word vomit or the
devastation it may cause in its wake.
“This is killing you, ain’t it?”
Of course it is.
“What is?” I play stupid.
“Not yelling at me, and tellin’ me that Gunz was the
one who texted first and that he was the one who started the cock talk. You
don’t think I already know that shit? I do. And trust me, he and I will have a gentleman’s
talk once we’re through here. I’ll see ya in the mornin’. I got to get outta
this truck and handle my shit. Now be careful this time and finish baking me
those delicious cookies. You got a long-ass day tomorrow. I’m countin’ on the
Sacred Sisters to corral the new old ladies. Later.”
“Peace.”
Once I hear his truck door open and a blast of wind
hit the phone, I hang up.
It’s back to cooking in my small apartment, and this
time I swear won’t burn myself.
Chapter
Four
Saturday, September 6, 2013
Being of a world, within a world, I lie here in my
plush bed, contemplating whether I should roll out of it and shower, shave, and
start my day before the birds themselves awaken or if I should continue to
stare at the ceiling I’ve grown accustomed to. The ceiling that keeps me
company when my insomnia awakens me far too early for any normal person.
It’s four a.m., just another morning that I slept very
little. And today I will be entertaining a group of foul mouthed, leather clad
bikers, and more specifically the women they’ve claimed as their old ladies.
Not sure how in the hell I get roped into these sorts of jobs. I just do. When
considering the alternatives to help accommodate and educate woman from all
over the country to learn our own chapter’s customs, I guess I’m the perfect
woman for the job. Candy Cane having been claimed as an old lady for many years
easily qualifies her as my copilot. Helping me navigate these often times
experienced old ladies into a different chapter and the rules that many of the
other Sacred Sinners MC's aren't accustomed to.
We are the original, the chapter that all other S.S. chapters look to for inspiration, leadership, and ultimately a brotherhood
that offers protection and alliances, when those smaller and less developed
come calling. This means we are unremittingly strict, with little to no wiggle
room to bend the rules. Big Dick and the club’s ten-man committee vet and hand
pick each member that we patch in our chapter. For many of the brothers, it is
a
