Page 69 of Falling for Her

I tilt my head and ask, "What about the clubwhores?”

Said clubwhores freeze, not understanding my statement, but Butcher does, and so does Bullet as he declares, “Jokester is taken. He has an old lady who is carrying his child,” the women gasp while Candy drops her head. He continues, “He has been with her for over six months, so this isn’t one of those trapping scenarios. This is him being madly in love, and any clubwhore who tries to cause Essy any shit whatsoever will be out on their ass. Do I make myself clear?”

The women nod before Bullet looks at Candy, and her eyes tear up, but she also nods.

I roll my eyes at her fake tears. I’ve heard all about her sex escapades with several brothers and other clubwhores. She wants attention, but she’s not going to get it.

Fuck, I barely saw her in the time I was gone, only the odd sightings across town.

Butcher speaks again, gaining my attention as he says, “I’m not going to keep apologizing for what I forced you to do. Instead, I want to prove how much we want you here and prove you can trust me again. Starting with that, Bethany will no longer be allowed on club grounds or any club property, and while she is still in town, a prospect will follow her,” we lock eyes, and he promises, “I’ll never let my daughter hurt you or your girl again.”

He holds up a cut and shows me the back first. The property of Jokester is looking back at me, and I tense until he turns it around, and I see my girl's nickname,Angel, on the breast pocket.

Fuck me…

“Give this to your girl and come home Jokester,” he rasps and everyone looks at me with apprehension, all while I look at her name on my patch and notice how right it looks.

“Hey fucker, how was she?” I ask Cody as I walk into the apartment, and he stands, grabbing his coat.

“She was a little nervous when you left but otherwise okay,” he replies, then nods to the hallway, “She’s now bathing Aiden before she gets him ready for bed. Adam called, he’s asked her to watch him tonight so he can spend the night with his girl.”

I grin, “I bet Essy cringed at that?”

He laughs but admits, “Half cringed, half squealed, she’s thinks he’ll test her soon by meeting her and Aiden,” and I chuckle. He sighs as he looks down the hallway hearing giggles then looks back at me and says, “I know you know how I feel about her. I just thank you for not making her choose.”

I half smile and reply, “Fucker, you are her best friend, and honestly, you’ve become mine as well. You loving her just means she will always be looked out for. I just hope it doesn’t hurt you in the long run, she’s carrying my baby, and she will wear my ring on her finger.”

He nods, happiness for us shining back at me as he admits, “And I’m so fucking excited to be the best uncle, fighting Bullet for that spot anyway, and it doesn’t hurt because she’s happy, and that is all that matters.”

“Happy? You sure about that? Bethany attacked her because of me,” I say reluctantly, words I’ve thought, words I have dreaded, and he snorts.

“That shit was not on you, and Ess will have your balls if she hears you blaming yourself. That bitch thought she was untouchable, so get your head outta your ass and help your girl bathe her little brother you lucky fucker, and give her that,” he states as he nods to my hand. I chuckle and hug him before he walks past me, mumbling, “Thanks,” before patting his back, and he replies, “Anytime, now go make her yours,” then walks around me, and heads out.

As soon as the door shuts, squeals hit my ears, making me smile. I removed my cut, and as if on instinct, I put it on the counter before I look at Essy’s.

I didn’t give them an answer, which is something they really wanted, but I said I’d think about it and took the cut.

I need to speak to my girl first….

Sighing, I grip the cut in my hand and head to the hallway, my footsteps following the squeals and my girl's giggles, giggles I didn’t think she’d be able to do after everything, giggles that are fucking music to my ears.

“Fuck, I could get used to this,” I mumble and round the door to the sight before me.

My girl has the biggest grin on her face I have ever seen, and everything in me melts as I grip the cut in my hand.

“Dam,” Aiden cheers, noticing me and I grin before I lock eyes with Essy. As she looks my way, her eyes soften.

“How’d it go?” she asks as Aiden throws his bath ball.

I swallow and hold the cut up in my hand, opening it so she can see her nickname on the left side. I say, “I can’t go back to the club and live on their land without you, angel.” Tears fill her eyes, and I rasp, “So what do you say, Essy? Will you be my old lady and move in with me?”
