Hollywood
This week has beenthe shittiest week by far. Neither Tink nor Diesel have been around since the BBQ on Sunday. From my understanding, he’s been staying at her house. Lolita up and left without an explanation. We didn’t have our normal Church on Monday since we had an impromptu one on Sunday, so there was no reason for him to be here. The only reason I know about Lolita is thanks to Minx. Being the Prez’s daughter, she knows just about everything there is to know in the clubhouse, unless it’s club business that could put her in harm’s way.
I’ve had a lot of time to think about the last conversation I had with Tink and Diesel. They both admitted to having feelings for me. I already knew Tink did. But Diesel, that came as a shock to me. It’s been weighing heavy on me all week. Tink thinks the three of us being together could work. Neither of them are worried about how the rest of the brothers would react, but neither of them experienced what I did in high school. That’s something I never want to go through again. Though, fighting my feelings for the two of them has been damn near impossible.
Kicks has been acting like he suspects something. If he does, he’s been cool about it. So maybe the rest of the brothers wouldn’t have a problem with it either. Maybe now is a good time to talk to Kicks about it. See what he really thinks about us being together.
As I’m about to leave my room, my phone buzzes. I grab it out of my pocket to check who it is and find a text from Kicks. Weird, considering I was just thinking about him.
From Kicks:I need to go talk to my cousin again. Wanna come with.
To Kicks:Sure. I actually wanted to talk to you about something anyway.
From Kicks:Cool, meet you out front.
I lock up my room and walk through the clubhouse. Some of the cut bunnies and prospects are cleaning the main room in preparation for our weekly party. Prez has been keeping an eye on some hangarounds to potentially recruit as prospects.
Outside, Kicks is already sitting on his bike which happens to be parked right beside mine.
“What’s up, brother?” He says as I get closer.
“What would you say if I told you I liked womenandmen?”
“I’d say it’s about damn time you decided to own up to it.” He laughs.
“What the fuck you mean?”
Kicks shrugs his shoulders. “I mean, I’ve always had a feeling. I never wanted to say anything because I knew when you were ready, you’d tell us.”
I let out a heavy sigh, relaxing my shoulders.
“This is about Diesel and Tink, ain’t it,” He asks.
I nod my head. “Diesel admitted he has feelings for me. They both do.”
“And?”
“They think the three of us could be together,” I tell him.
“Why the hell not? Y’all already function together perfectly. Well, you did before you started icing them out.”
“What would the rest of the club think?”
“That it’s about damn time you got your head out of your ass.” Kicks chuckles. “Now, come on. I need to go talk to Kara.”
I climb on my bike and start it up. The rumble of the engine is music to my ears. The ride to the hospital is short but sweet. Any time on my bike is time well spent.
“She’s here visiting her boyfriend,” Kicks tells me as we walk into the hospital.
“Is he still in a coma?”
“Yeah. Nothin’ has changed with him,” he says.
We come to Kara’s boyfriend’s room. Kicks raps his knuckles on the door frame to announce ourselves.
“Come on in,” Kara says.
