I woke up the next morning to find myself alone in bed. Normally I don’t have a problem with that. I actually prefer it. But today it bothers me. For some reason, my heart was hoping to find Gretchen laying beside me and now I’m disappointed. But I should be. This is the way it has to be even if it hurts my heart a bit. I sit up in bed for a few minutes trying to understand why Gretchen not being here or even saying goodbye is bothering me. After the only thing I could come up with is that maybe I like her, I gave up. Maybe isn’t true. I do like her a lot and that is the problem. But I don’t have the time or brainpower to think about it too long today. Today is a big day and I need to get moving.
You see, today is Ratchet’s eighteenth birthday. We are having a surprise party for him at Merigold’s this afternoon. So
Let me know what you think so far. I love reading my reader's comments.
BrickRatchet’s birthday party is in full swing. I can see everyone having a good time. More importantly, so is the birthday boy. When he first came in you could see the shock written all over his face. He was definitely not expecting most of the club to be here to celebrate with him. But like Viper said they are family and this is what we do for family. For the first thirty minutes or so Ratchet looked lost in his head. I saw Gretchen go over and talk to him. I’m not sure what she said but he pulled out of himself and started having fun.There is food galore on two tables as well as coolers with various drinks. A cake with eighteen on top of it and off to the side of is a small table where we put the gifts we got for Ratchet. When he saw that he was blown away. He didn’t expect that. Merigold even hired a D
Speed Ratchet’s birthday party was a blast and we all had a good time. The best surprise was when Merigold brought Alaric and the rest of the Alabama crew in for it. Well, that is when Ratchet pulled me to the side and told me he was gay. I’m not bothered by the fact, he is my brother and I will love him no matter what. What bothered me was that he was scared to come out to me. I have always thought of myself as a very open and accepting person. Love is love no matter what form it is. Merigold has two husbands for crying out loud and that doesn’t bother me at all. Alaric and Mac are married and have been in a relationship since high school. It has never been a problem. So it baffled me that Ratchet was worried. That is until he explained to me that it was my problems that made him think that. Once I clarified my problems with myself have nothing to do with me accepting him. Then we were a
Gretchen I haven’t seen Speed since Ratchet's birthday party and I can’t stand it. I have talked to Brick and I know he spent some time with her the day after. He told me they talked for a bit and he has an idea of what some of the problem with Speed is. She is convinced that she is broken. Brick says the way she talked about how it was wrong to want to be with either of us, it was like a programmed response. Like someone has brainwashed her or something. He thinks judging from the scars on her back, it is more like someone has beaten it into her. I almost broke down in tears when he told me that. I have spent all week coming up with ideas to break down what Brick and I are calling her programming. Brick says the biggest thing is that we can’t give up. We have to keep going after her with everything we have. Even when she pushes back. He said she tried with him the day they were together.
Speed I finally got my car fine-tuned just the way I like it. Thankfully I didn’t have much more interruptions from Gretchen and Brick. What the hell were they thinking showing up like that. I could barely think. I was tightening the same bolt for ten minutes hoping they would leave. But no, they just hung around. And when they found out I hadn't eaten in two days they came up and not only confronted me but wouldn’t leave until they made sure I ate. It wasn’t like I did it on purpose. I just forgot to eat. I didn’t even realize it had been two days. I had been so focused on getting the car ready and myself it just slipped my mind. At least they saved me from Merigold. The last time I forgot to eat she went ape shit on me and wouldn’t leave my side for two days. She even threatened to hand feed me to make sure I ate at least twice a day but she wanted me to eat at least four times. That wa
Gretchen When Brick came back from the track after watching Speed’s time trial he pulled me aside. I admit I was curious as to how it went but could find a good enough reason to go. I knew she had a lot of people there to get prepared for race day and I didn’t want to get in the way since I had nothing to contribute. So I worked around the clubhouse to keep myself busy and my mind occupied. So when Brick came back I was relieved wanting to know what happened. Brick pulled me into the playroom and sat me down. Brick paced for a minute before I couldn’t stand it anymore. “ Brick, will you stop and tell me what happened? Is Speed ok?’ Did something happen?” I know I was spouting questions rapidly but he was making me nervous. “ No Speed is fine. Hell, she is more than fine. You should have seen her. It was amazing and scary
Ratchet After talking with Gretchen last night I decided to take her advice and talk to Brick. I have eyes and I’m not stupid I know something is going on with the three of them. I just don’t know what. I respect Gretchen for only telling me her part in all this. She is right it isn’t her place to speak for Brick or Speed. I also know that my sister isn’t ready for me to know anything yet or she would have something already. I feel like she is battling with herself. I can see it with the way she tries to push Gretchen and Brick away. But I’m happy to see that Gretchen isn’t letting her do it. And when Gretchen asked how I felt about Brick and her pursuing Speed it felt good that she wanted my opinion and I got the feeling she was also looking for my acceptance about the situation. All I want is for my sister to be happy the way she deserves. I don’t care how or with whom it happens.
BrickAfter talking to Ratchet I knew I needed to know more. Ratchet didn’t have the answers I needed so I’m going to have to talk to Merigold. And I was going to have to take Gretchen with me since we were in this together. She should hear the story first hand instead of getting the half assed version from me. I also know it will take some convincing to get Merigold to tell us the story. Merigold is a good woman and she would feel like she is betraying her friend by telling us. And it can’t be done at the club. I have a feeling this is a story best told in private. But that will have to wait for another day. Before he left Ratchet told me about his date tonight. I’m excited for the boy but I want to check this guy out for myself so I’m going to be there when Ratchet’s date shows up.The guy is s
Ratchet I felt better after my talk with Brick. I didn’t get all the answers I wanted but between Gretchen and Brick, I have a pretty good idea about what is going on. Both Brick and Gretchen want a relationship with my sister. And they are working together to win Speed over. I’m not clear on how it works but I don’t need to. The thing that I was worried about was cleared up by talking to them. They have no intention of hurting my sister. Anything else is not my concern. They can figure it out amongst themselves. I leave Brick to meet up with Gretchen and Speed to go shopping and get me a haircut. After we got home it was already late when we got back to the house leaving me only an hour and a half to get ready. It sounds like a long time but when I have to put all my stuff away, take a shower, shave, and get dressed it really
Brick Today is the day I have been looking forward to for months. Nine months to be exact. I’m about to be a father to a little girl. Yes, we found out what we were having when Speed hit six months. I have to tell you the debate we had on whether or not we wanted to know the sex of the baby went on for weeks. Gretchen wanted it to be a surprise. Speed went back and forth. And I wanted to know. Finally we did the most childish thing we could think of and flipped a coin. I won. Gretchen was mad for about a minute when we looked at the screen and could see our baby girl laying on her back sucking her thumb. We had the nursery done in the room next to ours. Speed refused to do all pink shit. She said our girl need more than just the standard color for girls. I didn’t give a shit about colors. I just wanted to put the furniture together so our princess will have somewhere to sleep and a place
Gretchen After Speed was released from the hospital we made a quick stop at the clubhouse to congratulate Goof on being patched in. Brick and I wanted to go straight home but Speed insisted saying it wouldn’t be right to skip it. Brick was a full patch and we were ol’e ladies we needed to make an appearance to show our support. It was our duty. I knew she was right. And the look of joy on Goof’s face when we showed up was worth it. Truthfully I think it was seeing Speed that Goof was happy about. I know he was worried about her when she collapsed. The whole club was and it made them feel better seeing her. We didn’t tell anyone yet about Speed being pregnant yet. Just told everyone about her being dehydrated. I think they figured Speed got overheated in her jumpsuit. Which is partially true so we didn’t say anything different. I know I hover closer to Speed the whole two hours we were the
Brick After Speed won her race and was in the winner’s circle the last thing I expected was for her to propose to Gretchen and me. She was right when she said nothing about our relationship was what was considered normal. I wanted to answer Speed when I saw her eyes roll back in her head and start to fall. Gretchen screamed “ Kelley.” as I dove to catch Speed before she fell. Just before she hit the hood, Speed fell into my arms. I picked her limp body up and rushed her to the ambulance. There was a huge crowd of people I needed to get through but my brothers had me and made sure I had a clear path. Luckily I didn’t have to go far because the paramedics saw what happened and met me with a gurney. I gently lay her down and let the medics do their job. Gretchen and Ratchet have caught up with me. Gretchen has tears running down her face. Tears that were happy have now turned to fear and con
Speed Today is the day of my All-Star race. And I’m excited. I feel like this is going to be a day to remember. After the race no matter how I place I have a big surprise for Gretchen and Brick. I just hope it goes over well. I think it will but I’m nervous. I’m getting ahead of myself. This morning started out great. I woke up with one arms around Bricks waist, my head on his chest and my legs twisted with his. Gretchen was on her side, her front pressed against my back and her arm around my waist. Brick had somehow managed to have his arms around both of us. No waking up to a cold empty bed for me today. After we woke we took turns taking showers and Gretchen made a quick breakfast to eat on the road. We were all meeting at the clubhouse before we made the three hour drive to the new track. I have done two time trials on the track and all the research I could. I did all my normal day befor
Gretchen I woke up early this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep no matter how hard I tried. So instead of tossing and turning and risking waking up Brick and Speed I got up and took a shower to get ready for the day. After I’m dressed I head downstairs to start breakfast for all of us. I think it is a french toast kind of day. As I’m getting everything out that I need I start the coffee pot. I have the pan heating up and am mixing the eggs with vanilla, sugar,cream and cinnamon. I’m trying to figure out why I had such a hard time sleeping. You would think after the several rounds of passionate sex we had last night I would still be curled up with Brick and Speed. It was an incredible night celebrating Brick claiming both of us and us claiming him. Hell, we are getting our tattoos today. This is supposed to be a great day. So why am I nervous? I’m not second guessing this relationship
Speed I came down to the clubhouse with Gretchen because Thor called and said he wanted to talk to me about something. I figure it had to do with him sponsoring me as he had mentioned it a few times already. I didn’t need to bring Gretchen but she wouldn’t let me leave the house without her. She even insisted on driving me. I’m still pretty sore so I let her. I know she needs to do this. Take care of me that is. After what happened to me last night she is clinging to me which is not like her at all. When we got inside the clubhouse main room I spotted Ace at the bar drinking a bottle of water. “ Hola, Uncle Ace. You wanted to see me?” I ask. Ace holds out his arms for me. I go to him and get wrapped in a gentle bear hug. I know he can hold me tighter but he is being careful of my injuries. I pull back and he looks at Gretchen “ Well, come on girly. These arms are for you too.” Gretchen lo
Brick I left the girls sleeping even though it was after ten in the morning. They never slept this late but I knew they needed it. Speed’s body was recovering from her injuries. And Gretchen was up and down all night checking on Speed. Every time Speed whimpered in her sleep Gretchen would be checking up on her. I tried to tell Gretchen that if Speed needed us she would let us know but Gretchen wasn’t having it. It went against her nurture instinct so I let it go. I made sure to start some coffee before I left to get to the clubhouse. I had church and then I was going to deal with the fucker who thought he could put his hands on Speed. I wanted to kill him but I knew I couldn’t. I was just going to give him a warning he will never forget to never come near me or mine then turn him over to the sheriff. When I got to
BrickI was in my office doing some paperwork when the alarm went off in one of the play rooms. I check the monitor to see what room it is. I check and that room is supposed to be empty tonight. I stand up to go check it out hoping it is just a malfunction. But for some reason my gut is telling me it isn’t. I radio Fred as I leave my office. “ Fred alert in room six. Meet me to check it out. Probably a malfunction.” I say. “ What do you mean boss? Are you in the room with Diamond?” he asks. My stomach drops and I run down the hall to the stairs leading to the ground floor. I yell into the mic “ I never called Diamond in. She isn’t supposed to be here.” “ What the hell?” Fred yells.I will get to the bottom of this later. Right now I need to check on Speed
Speed My life has been wonderful for the last month and a half. Brick, Gretchen, and I have been living together in a house Brick had owned. We have had our ups and downs but what do you expect for three people suddenly living together. But there are a hundred more ups than there are downs. We make sure we talk about everything. That is the most important thing that is keeping us strong. And the sex. Oh, god the sex. I can’t get enough of them. Or they can’t get enough of me. I’m not sure. It doesn’t really matter. It is just out of this world. I know I have passed out several times after some seriously intense orgasms. And they never fail to give me an orgasm. And then there is we have just goofing off. Just yesterday I was outside washing my bike. Gretchen came out to bring me something to drink but she startled me and I accidentally sprayed her with the hose. It turned into a water fig
