There were moments when he seemed determined to say the most disgusting and vulgar thing.
She would listen, and judge him, and then he’d leave.
Those times where Pixie showed up, she started to love, and to enjoy. His somewhat sexist comments, she started to find funny. He was a unique guy that took some getting used to, but when she finally did, he was actually nice.
Pushing her complicated feelings and thoughts about Pixie aside, she focused on the paper in hand. She needed to find a job, so, heading to the park, she took a seat, and started to look through the advertisements.
It didn’t look good.

Pixie made his way back toward the diner, which wasn’t far from the clubhouse. If he was going to find anyone to help give Suzy a job, it was going to be his brother and the club. They could find something for her to do, and he hadn’t been kidding about paying her to screw him. Well, it wouldn’t be like treating her like a whore. That wasn’t what he meant. Men, husbands, boyfriends, they took care of their women and sex was involved. That was what he meant by doing it that way. She’d have to stay with him, and he’d officially get a key into her life. Everything he’d done so far had been in secret.
Entering the diner, the scent of the food made his mouth water, and he saw several of his club brothers sitting at a bunch of tables. Also, he saw Teri sitting between Leo and Paul, laughing.
This was his family, and also James was there, his real brother.
“Where you been?” Damon asked, making everyone turn toward him.
“Busy. Teri, I wanted to talk to you about something.” He grabbed a chair, spun it around, and straddled the seat.
“Oh, I’m feeling all special now.” Teri gave a wiggle and leaned forward, focusing on him.
“It’s simple. Suzy needs a job, and I’m hoping you have one for her.”
“Why does she need a job? Did you lose her the one she has by being yourself?” Teri asked.
“No. From what I can tell the business was having trouble, and they’ve gone under. Today they handed Suzy in her last pay, and that was it.”
“Wow, she never said anything,” Cora said. “Neither did Grace and Chloe.”
“I like her,” Kitty said. “She’s such a sweet woman, and I doubt she’d worry anyone.”
“They live with her though,” Teri said.
“I know, but Chloe’s away, and she’s been struggling with her relationship with Richard. Then Grace has given birth to Joseph, and lives with Drake.” Kitty shrugged. “Suzy wouldn’t try to worry her friends.”
“Shit, I’m really sorry, but I don’t have any openings,” Teri said.
“What about Grace’s job? She’s on maternity leave, right?”
“I’ve already replaced her for the time being, Pixie. Suzy should have come to me immediately.”
“Fuck.” He turned to his brother. “What about at the club?”
“She isn’t part of the club, Pixie. You know I can’t have her there.”
“Ugh, just say she’s mine, okay. She’s my woman, and she can be at the club, serving some beers, or cleaning.”

He saw his brother staring at him. James folded his arms, and kept on staring. Pixie hated it. His brother always saw shit he shouldn’t.
“What’s going on, Pixie? No bullshit.”
“Fine. Suzy is a friend of the club women, and I want to help her.”
“And if we don’t?”
