“No of course not.” She’s right, I couldn’t leave her on the table to die. I’d need to be with her every moment.
“So, why should I leave? Because I’m a woman? I love this man. I love him so much that it’s difficult to breathe right now thinking that I might lose him. What would you do if that was me and you were feeling like that?”
“I’d make sure I was in this room with you until you woke up even if it took days.” I look at her and she looks on the verge of breaking down. I reach out but she sidesteps me.
“Exactly, so now tell me again to leave this room, Cash.” She puts her hands on her hips and if the matter wasn’t so serious, I would be hard just looking at her.
“Baby, I just didn’t want you to see him like this. I don’t want you hurting any more than you are right now.” This time when I reach out, she steps into my arms and when I wrap myself around her, she sobs.
“What if he dies, Cash? I don’t know if I could cope.”
“You have me, baby.”
“I know. And I know that I sound selfish because I have two of you, but I can’t lose either one of you. Tell me he’s going to be okay.”
“I can’t do that. I’m not going to lie to you, baby.” Her whole body convulses as she sobs.
“Sorry to break this up, but can one of you hold this for me while I stitch him up. I’ve got the bullets out and stopped the bleeding. Thank God he’s out of it because I’ve just cauterized his wound and he would be screaming with pain.”
We both turn and I hold the bowl for Doc. Meg takes one hand and I sit on the other side. When the Doc leaves, we both sit there in silence.
“Do you remember the first time we got together?” I ask Meg. I want to take her mind off where we are right now.
“Yeah, I remember flirting with both of you and I didn’t think I’d be able to decide between you.”
“That’s right, but we had already agreed that we both wanted you and we are never jealous of each other, so we knew that we would both have you. You flirted with one of the brothers from the other chapter too. We knew then that we had to have you before someone else took you away from us.”
She laughs. “I only did that because I wanted to spur you into action.” She looks at my raised eyebrows. “It worked, didn’t it?”
“It sure did.” I smile remembering that night.
We sit in silence for a few minutes. “I didn’t know how it would work... you know.” She’s quiet when she says that.
“What do you mean?” I know what she means, I just want her to say it.
“You know, the sex.”
“Really? You didn’t know or you couldn’t work it out in your head.”
“I went home and watched some double penetration porn just so that I could see how it worked and so that I would know what to do.”
I laugh. “I love you, baby. Don’t ever change.”
“I don’t intend on doing so.”
We’ve sat there for a couple of hours when someone comes to the door. It’s Tiff. “Can I get you anything? There’s some food if you guys want any.”
“Thanks Tiff, I think we’re okay.” Meg smiles at Tiff and I nod my head and she leaves. “She’s nice you know.”
“I know. She’s too good to be club pussy.”
Meg looks at me and laughs. “Yes, she is, she’d make someone a great old lady.”
“Yeah, she would, but not one here. Once a club pussy, always a club pussy.”
“That’s so fucking sexist.” She’s not angry, it’s just the way of the MC.
It’s quiet for a few minutes then Meg says, “Oh my god he just squeezed my hand.” She’s on her feet. “Ramsey, baby are you okay? Ramsey.”
