Sara holds the takeout box out to him and he says, “Sweet,” as he gets in his car.
“Gimme some sugar,” I demand, pulling her into me.
Those sweet lips meet mine and I deepen our kiss immediately. I kiss her hard, pouring my love into to every stroke of my tongue as it sweeps along hers.
“Two more days,” I remind her.
“Two days,” she whispers.
I watch them pull out of the lot then go to meet up with Boogeyman. We need to get back on the road to Tennessee.
Life in Webb Hollow doesn’t stop when I want it to.
I have a club to run and a house to prepare for my family. In two days Sara will be coming home with me and no one will stand in my way.
Sara
When I get in the car Cole gives me a look and laughs. “Did you enjoy your big night out?”
“No.” I fold my arms over my chest. “I puked all in the bed and passed out.”
“You look like shit.”
“Oh gee, thanks. Give me back that food, butthead.”
“Sara, you’re my sister and I love you but if you’re going to be married to the Prez of a club, you gotta get a bit more creative with your insults.”
“I can be mean if I want to.”
“Yeah, okay. So, let’s say some hangaround clubwhore disrespects you and makes a pass at your man. What will you do?”
I scowl at him. “I don’t know. Tell her to get lost.”
Cole shakes his head. “No. You tell her she is a cum dumpster and your man wouldn’t stick a dead man’s dick in her nasty snatch.”
“Eww.” I crinkle my face in disgust. “I don’t want to say that.”
“Well if you don't those whores will try to walk all over you, Sara. You get respect around the Roadhouse because you’re the VP’s daughter. You’ll get respect being Hades’ old lady by earning it. They aren’t going to welcome you and braid your hair and shit. Those women will hate you and want to take your place at his side. They will do everything they can to fuck with you. You gotta be prepared. I’m only telling you this shit because you need to be ready to take them on. You gotta be tough and take no shit.”
“I know. Thank you for being a good brother. I mean it, Cole. If it weren't for you and Morgan I wouldn't have made it this long under mom’s jail sentence.”
“That is something I can’t help you on. Only thing that will help is time. Mom’s stubborn and she had a different life planned out for us, I let her down. I guess she thought you’d be her shining star.” He gives me a half smile.
I know he is right, but it doesn't make it hurt any less.
I don't comment further, we will only be talking in circles.
“I’ll talk to mom but make no promises.”
I nod, not wanting to talk or think about it. I have a wedding to get ready for.
We get back to his house and the moment I see CT he smiles at me and says, “Momma.”
My heart swells and all the bad I was feeling floats away.
This little boy brings me so much joy.
“How’s Momma’s big boy?” I scoop him up from the playpen and hug him to my chest. “I missed you so much. And Daddy told me to give you a big high five from him.” I laugh as he drools.
