“I said sorry!”E barked.
Lo pulled out his phone.“Let me just give Leo a call.”
“No!”E shouted.“I’m sorry!I never should have shouted at April!”
Lo smirked.I knew that smirk.Smug, lethal, and beautiful all at once.
Wrecker looked to Lo.“That good enough for you?”
Lo shrugged.“If he promises to never speak to April again.You go after her because you’re mad at us, and we’ll make sure you regret ever being born.”
The leader raised his hands.“I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen.”
The leader motioned for everyone to leave.E looked like he wanted to argue again.
“Ernie!”the leader barked.
I couldn’t help it.I laughed.
“Ernie?”Alice giggled next to me.
Ernie growled and stomped back to the car.He started it, slammed it into reverse, and almost clipped one of the bikes.
“What the fuck, Ernie?!I’m gonna kick your ass myself!”the leader shouted.
They finally all cleared out, Ernie’s taillights disappearing first.
“Ernie?”Greta said, her voice laced with amusement.
The whole group erupted in laughter.
“I truly now see the appeal of having a road name,” Adley giggled.“Pretty sure if that was my name, I’d never tell anyone.”
Lo returned to my side and slipped his arm around me.
“You okay?”he murmured.
I nodded.“Been through worse than Ernie on a power trip.”
He pressed a kiss to the side of my head.“Yeah, we really have.”
“Did that really just happen?”Greta asked.“What did they think was gonna happen?That you were gonna beat his ass again?”
“Dumbass thought adding a few more friends would change the outcome,” Bear snorted.“Not happening.”
Alice stifled a yawn.“I should be jazzed after that, but all I want to do is go to bed.”
“Same,” Cyn agreed.
Everyone murmured in agreement.We headed to our rooms.
Back in ours, I kicked off my shoes by the door.Lo locked up and peeked out the window.
“You think they’ll come back?”I asked.
He shut the curtains.“No.Pretty sure they were about to piss themselves when I mentioned Leo.”
I laughed.“He does have a reputation.”
