Chapter 6

Rowdy

I speak up " I don't know what she said to the boys but they moved with practiced, trained precision. And the words she used to let the boys know it was clear. You know you don't hear that in everyday talk. Hell, the way they walked out of her has been practiced. She may not have served but she is trained. And from little I saw she is trained well. I don’t see how you could have missed it." Ace and Axel nod in agreement. All four of us are retired vets. Most of the club has served in one way or another. We know what we saw. And honestly, I'm impressed. I would like to see more. The little I've seen from Merigold the more I like. Viper leans against the bar " Just another reminder of how little I know about my sister. Great." 

"Don't be hard on yourself. It isn't your fault. But you have to let go of that. She is here now. She came to you. You have a chance now. Use the chance and stop worrying about what you have missed. And you need to go and talk to her. Now." Anna said. " Yea you're right I need to talk to her. I'll head over in a few. I'll let her calm down." Viper says as he finishes his beer.

" I wouldn't wait too long. She was pretty upset with herself. She might think you are upset with her." Axel says. He is right I saw the same look in her eyes he did. She tried to mask it. But I knew what I saw. A look that says she is a flight risk and if Prez doesn't go after her I will. My gut is telling me she needs to be here. I look at Axel and he nods. He knows what I'm thinking. We won't let her get away.

Merigold

I make it to the house and settle the boys in the kitchen for lunch. I don't have an appetite after that shit show I caused at the clubhouse. I'm never going to be able to face Viper or the other brothers again. Seriously I nearly attacked someone. Someone who is very important to them. I have only been here a few days and managed to embarrass my brother and his crew. Yea no going back from that.  They have been together for a long time and I'm an outsider. Funny I thought it would have taken me a little longer to screw up. But I couldn’t help myself. That lady, Anne I think they said her name was too close to my kids and I didn’t like it.

Since I'm never going back there again and I doubt Viper will forgive me or understand. I decide to start to make plans to hit the road. I was looking forward to learning about my brother and father. Maybe even get to know the two hotties Axel and Rowdy.  Not gonna happen now. The first thing I need to do is call Mr. McMasters and turn everything over to Viper.  Next, I will start searching the hotels in the area because I'm not staying here. I call the closest one around all booked. I'm going to have to widen my search great just what I need.

I clean the boys up from lunch and take them outside.  I grab a beer and sit on the back porch to watch them. Time to call Alaric and Mac and update them. " Hey, sis. What's up?" Alaric asks. I take a deep breath before I answer. I have never hidden anything from them I'm not about to start now. " Not good. I screwed big time." I say. " Sweety it can't be that bad. Hold on let me conference all the guys in," he says.  " Oh but it is,"  I tell him. Once all the guys are on the phone I tell them everything. everything from the lawyer’s office to what happened at the clubhouse. " So I should be headed home by Friday." " Sweety don't you think you should talk to your brother about this. I know how much it means to you to find out about your father." Alaric says. Mac says “ Why don’t you calm down a bit then try to talk to Ethan. " You didn't see his face, guys. He was so mad. And I don't blame him. If Ace hadn’t been holding me I probably would have punched that woman. There is no probably to it. I would have hit her. And hurt her bad. "

" I'm not mad at you." I turn and see Viper, Axel, Rowdy, and Ace standing behind me. " Umm Alaric, guys I need to call you back," I say. " I know. we heard him. Talk to him. Love you." he says. Followed by the rest of the guys. " Love you too brothers." and hang up. I look up at Viper and wait for him to talk. The silence just hangs there and I can't take it. " I already apologized for my actions. If you're here to tell me to leave and never come back, way ahead of you. I have made arrangements to transfer every to you. I’m working on finding a hotel. And I’ll be out of town by the weekend. You didn't need to bring back up."

" I'm not here for an apology or to kick you out. I don't want you to leave. I'm not mad but I would like to understand what happened if you want to talk about it." Viper says as he sits down. I see the others have also taken a seat. Since they aren't here to kick me out I wonder what they are doing here. " So you brought your entourage to tell me you are not mad." I lock eyes with Rowdy and I feel my pussy come alive. Great, I'm getting wet just from one look. I take my eyes from him to Axel thinking it might calm me down. Yea that didn't work. I swear I get wetter. I’m supposed to be focusing on Viper not having dirty thoughts about two guys.

" They wanted to come. Please stay Merigold. It was one bad day. And it wasn’t even that bad. We " Viper pointed to the guys " We want you to give us a chance. Please?" I looked at the guys one by one. They each nodded but Rowdy added a smirk and Axel added a smile and that made them even hotter. " Ok. But I can't promise I won't screw up again. I know I will. And I won’t back down from anyone who gets too close to my boys. No matter who they are. " Viper gets up and hugs me " No worries. I get it, ok. I don’t blame you for being protective. As for screwing up, it isn’t a big deal. I’ll always be here for you. No matter what.” I hug him back grateful he isn’t upset. And it sounds like he understands as well.

Anna came by the next day with Viper and apologized for making me feel uncomfortable. That she wasn’t thinking when she approached the boys. I apologize for overreacting and she said all was forgiven and we agree that this meeting was a do-over. I properly introduced Anna to Jace and Jax. And just like everyone who meets them she fell in love instantly, not that I was surprised. Viper has come by every night for dinner and spent time with me and the boys. We talk about everything. From what it was like growing in an Mc. Being the President’s kid. What his life was like when he served. I tell him about growing up in Alabama. About what life was like after my mom left. What happened when the guy who I thought was my dad figured out he wasn’t. To me getting kicked out of the house at sixteen. And my friend’s parents stepped up to help me. I tell him how I met Jace Sr. the twin’s father. And since I always make too much food I made him take leftovers back to the clubhouse.

It has been a little over a week and  I finally felt comfortable enough to go back to the clubhouse. Anna took the boys to the park so I could meet Viper for lunch. More MC training he called it.
