Loyalty

We pulled up to Shenanigans, which was a local bar and grill that made every day feel like St Patrick’s Day, and had drinks so stiff that you felt the luck of the Irish ithin you Luke gracefully slid from the bike and held his hand out to me while I clambered off He introduced me to his VP Woruy with a deep voice and looked even taller next to his petite ho sed ht wasn’t going to be so bad after allLuke grabbed my hand and alked in to find the whole left side of the bar filled with bikers Each one stood up as Luke walked in and he took turns hugging each one and introducingme a title I didn’t co my presence

Regg and Red were there along with Tiny and War who I had rehtly e what had happened last ti of it, I couldn’t tell There were also a lot of people there I had not met All were patch members and their women who I assus, Buck and Baby, Kev and Gypsy, Boss Hogg and Texas, Scratch, Bear, Crash and three PROSPECTS Everyone greeted ed me I could feel the love in the room that I was in, well until Maddie sashayed her way froo ofand asked, “Maddie, you remember Dallas?”

I could see in her eyes that she would rather eat shit than acknowledge , “Yes, I do It’s good to see you again, Dallas How is your head?” The bitterness in her voice and her ending comment made me want to slap that sour look off her face, but instead I just answered her in the e

“Eat me Maddie” I had not realized that all eyes were onfor my response fro look, but everyone else seehter Maddie rolled her eyes and stormed off I heard several comments like “I told you” and “You owe me a beer” and I knew that ered I silently wondered who bet against ht be valuable in the future

Everyone was chatting away-laughing, talking, and flirting I sahy Luke loved his club so much Everyone seemed to be family here and other than Maddie, they all seemed to accept me as part of it too

I sat at the head of the table next to Luke, and from my seat I had a clear view of everyone around us Wor and Luci B, who sat next to Wor with Red Coon and Carla were in their oorld They see just by watching thes as adjusting her breasts in her shirt, which see with the with Scratch, Bear and Crash were listening intently to Kev whoa joke, because they all erupted with laughter Gypsy rolled her eyes and shook her head at Kev, obviously disgusted at what he said The PROSPECTS were nowhere to be found and neither was Maddie

Tiny ca for him to come outside With a nod of his head, every man at the table stood and followed Tiny out

“Good luck Babe,” Luke whispered in my ear

“Thanks a lot,” I responded laughing He laughed withthe top of my head, and then walked out My eyes followed hioofy smile on my face when my eyes fell on all the wo at me open mouthed as if I were an alien

“What?” I asked

Red was the first one to recover “Nothing, it’s just good to see Luke happy,” she said sree out from all of them while they busied themselves with their phones and drinks and averted their eyes to anything but me
