Micah kept quiet as Remy, and I made our way to Katie. A very large blue truck came barreling in, and I had to step back. What the hell? It almost hit Remy and me.
Micah was right there and waited for the tall man with blond hair to step out of the truck. Micah gripped the man’s shirt as he said something and nodded over to Remy and me.
There wasn’t a doubt in my mind that it had to do with him almost running us over. I hadn’t seen Micah this pissed before, and it was a sight. A little bit of fear, but then a bit of excitement because it was on Remy’s and my behalf.Stop it. You’re doing it again.
“What the hell is goin’ on, Ens?” Katie asked, slamming her car door and coming up to us. Remy immediately went into Katie’s outstretched arms.
“A mess. Austyn and Emery’s houses blew up, and the MC wants all of us here while they figure out what’s goin’ on.”
“You’re joking,” Katie said on a gasp.
“Boom! Kaatteee,” Remy told her, and Katie’s eyes widened. Mine did too, but probably for a different reason. Remy hadn’t really said Katie’s name. I knew it had been coming, but it burst through.
“What? She saw it?”
“Yeah. We were still with Micah when everything went to hell in a handbasket.”
“Lucy—you got some splanin’ to do,” Katie mocked in her best Ricky Ricardo voice. This made me smile. Even with everything going on around us, Katie brought us back to the times we stayed up late watchingI Love Lucy.
“Yeah. I do.”
Katie looked over to the large truck, where Micah was still giving the man what-fore.
“And what the hell? That guy.” She pointed to the blond. “Came right up to me when I was leaving the store, saying he was my bodyguard. I know you called me, but I didn’t think he’d be so in your face.”
“I’ve never met him, but Micah’s about ready to beat the shit out of him.”
Katie’s eyes went round once again in shock. “No freaking way.”
“Yep. That’s him.”
Katie checked Micah out for a bit longer than I liked. He was Remy’s dad, after all. That was all it was. Just me being protective. It had absolutely nothing to do with jealousy. Screw that.
“You have to get with him,” Katie said.
“Shut up.” My eyes shifted to Remy. “Remy,” I scolded.
“Shit. Okay you need to have sex with that.”
“Sex with who?” Austyn and Bristyl, Cooper’s woman, came up.
Katie smiled mischievously saying, “She needs to sl…” She bobbed her head toward Micah.
“Lord. Are we in high school or something?” I clipped.
“No. Because if we were, I wouldn’t have to spell out words for the little one here,” Katie retorted.
“Just let it go. It’s not gonna happen,” I demanded, turning my back to the two men in a heated exchange. “Let it lay. He’s being cool because of R-E-M-Y.”
“You do know that she’ll be spelling her name soon and that shit won’t work anymore.” Katie commented.
“Would you shut up?” I asked her, but it was more like telling her.
“Nope. And you should really watch your language. You’ve got a mouth on you,” she teased and she wasn’t wrong. Ever since hanging out with the Ravage MC, the words that I never used to say, just kept popping out of my mouth.
I let out a heavy sigh. “Great. Now this is gonna be a thing. I can do without it, just so ya know.”
“This is like watchin’ a sitcom,” Bristyl chuckled, and she wasn’t wrong. Katie and I had this about us.
