The Heaven Hill Series Chapter 184
Roni put off going inside the clubhouse for as long as she could. It wasn't until she saw Jagger, B, and Layne pull up that she started making her way towards it. She wouldn't easily be able to explain why she was standing outside playing on her cell phone if they asked. She'd never been the type to be obsessed or engrossed with it. It wasn't an extension of her arm, like it was for other people."About time you came inside," Denise teased as she made her way to the kitchen. Denise was the only person that she'd told about her birthday ride with Rooster."Laugh it up," she told her sister-in-law. "Do you need help in here? Please tell me you need help in here.""You're going to have to talk to him at some point, Roni." Denise shook her head. "You can't keep avoiding him forever.""Yes, I can." Her tone was adamant. She'd done it successfully for over four months. There was no reason she couldn't continue to do so."No really, you can't. I heard him and Liam talking the other

The sun had finally set and, with it, the heat of the day had receded. July in Kentucky was usually hot and muggy, but they'd been blessed this summer that it'd been one of the coolest on record. It was comfortable enough that they actually had a bonfire going. Roni sat in the corner, nursing a glass of strawberry margarita that Bianca had given her at some point. She wasn't in the mood to drink tonight, was barely in the mood to be around other people. She should have told Liam that she hadn't been up to dinner at the clubhouse."I think I'm gonna head out," she told Denise, tapping her on the shoulder."Are you sure you're okay?" she asked, worry in her eyes."I am. I'm just really tired trying to get the office back in order. Bless his heart, but Liam is not a businessman in that sense of the word," she laughed. The words weren't a lie. He'd done the best he could with what he had, but Liam hadn't been prepared to run a shop at the drop of a hat."Don't work too hard," Denis

The next morning, Roni pulled into Walker's Wheels and took an excited breath when she realized she was the first person there. She could get so much more accomplished without the guys milling around asking her questions. The previous bookkeeper had been a good one, but the cancer diagnosis for her husband had thrown her for a loop. Roni could see without anyone telling her when he'd been diagnosed. The work had become sloppy and then Liam had taken over. She'd walked into a total shit fest, but that was okay, because that was what she always did. Cleaned up everyone else's mess. It's what she'd done since Liam and Rooster had cleaned up hers. Her life had been dedicated at that point to helping either one of them at any time. Guilt had eaten at her, it still ate at her. She wasn't sure she would ever forgive herself, but that was her cross to bear, not theirs.Walking into the office, she turned on the lights and shut off the alarm. It was quiet here, almost unnerving compared to wh

"I swear to God, the only person he is nice to anymore is Tatum," Denise mumbled under her breath as Drew stomped his feet up the stairs."What's the problem?" Liam asked, coming in with Tyler and Rooster in tow. They had finished early at the shop, thanks to Rooster, and he'd invited them over for a beer."Your son is a jackass," she told him, rolling her eyes as Drew slammed his door."Welcome to life with a teenager," Rooster laughed, looking back and forth between them. He'd seen it many times on the force, parents who were at the end of their rope with their children."What he said, he's a teenager," Liam reminded his wife.She cut her eyes at him. "Yeah, I'm aware. Not only did I give birth to him, but I clean up his bathroom."The guys chuckled."Totally not sure I'm gonna survive this, and if he woke Tatum up, I will jerk a knot in his ass," Denise fumed, listening closely for the child. "She finally went down for a nap.""I think we're safe from diva waking up,

Roni sat down on her couch and breathed a sigh of relief. It had been Rooster's first day at the shop and she'd been on edge for most of it. Every time he walked towards the office, her body tensed up and her stomach rolled. It wasn't that she was afraid of him, she was afraid of herself. After he'd cornered her the night before, she'd not been able to do anything but think about him. How they'd been during the summer they'd spent together. It hadn't mattered to either one of them that she was older than him by a few years, all that mattered was the animal magnetism they had for one another."C'mon, Liam's asleep," Rooster whispered.Roni couldn't believe that he'd conned her brother into letting him sleep over, just so he could spend time with her. "What if we get caught?" she whispered back. It didn't really matter to her, she was of age, but he was a few months from it. If they got caught, she knew without a doubt his parents would punish her to the full extent of the law. That'

After her run-in with Rooster the night before, Roni woke up wanting to do something different, wanting to change something about her life. She wasn't sure what, but she knew that it had to be today. Glancing at her hair in the bathroom mirror, she curled her lip. It was limp and too long to have any kind of style. It had been years since she'd had highlights. This was the change she needed, and she knew exactly who could help her. Christine was working towards her cosmetologist's license at the Curly Q she hoped she could be fit in quickly.A quick couple of phone calls later, and Denise was meeting her downtown, along with B and Jessica who'd had the same idea thanks to the summer weather. An early evening haircut with her best friends was just what the doctor ordered. The only lady they hadn't heard from was Meredith, but Roni was pretty sure that she would make an appearance too, if the rest of them did. Grabbing her stuff, she was out the door and in her car.The drive downtow

Was this what first-date jitters felt like? Because Roni had never actually been on an official date. It was odd. Most men that came into her life came because of something to do with Liam, and then when their need for Liam left, their need for her left. Boyfriends weren't something she ever did after Rooster. If she didn't let someone get close to her, then there was no one for William to use against her. Life was easier that way, but that life was lonely.She glanced over, still surprised to find her hand encased in Rooster's. After he had gotten his haircut for his trip back to high school, the rest of the members of the club had gone their separate ways and Rooster had shyly asked her if she wanted to grab dinner at one of the places on the town square. She had been hesitant, but knew that this was the first step in what would be a new life for her. It was time to stop hanging on to the sins of her father and to do what she'd wanted to do all those years ago."It feels weird…do

Roni sat in the office at Walker's Wheels trying to decipher Liam's writing. Who the hell had taught him to write? It was chicken scratch, and she couldn't figure out if what he'd put down was an eight or a nine. The Roni of old would have just made the decision herself. The Roni that had emerged in the week since she'd had dinner with Rooster was going to check and verify, make sure that's what he meant. Because this Roni, she wasn't scared to ask questions. The guys were in the back, taking their afternoon break, so she decided to go out the backdoor of the office. It would be a bit of a walk, but after being cooped up all day, she needed it.When she walked out of the door, she was shocked to find Drew and Mandy there. Drew had Mandy pressed up against the wall. "You will not tell anybody what's going on," he told her.Mandy had tears streaming down her face. "You need help," she was whispering, her fingers tangling in her brother's shirt. "You can't do this on your own," she pl
