Chapter Twenty
Carly
I can’t believe that Wrench’s plan worked and we can finally be together in his club. I look at Nikki and Izzy. “Guess I’m one of you now.”
“You’re welcome.” Nikki smiles while winking at me.
“Wait, what?” I look back at Wrench confused.
“We” —Nikki waves a hand between her and Izzy— “took care of the whole thing. We’ve been working T since everything started to snowball.”
“You guys did that for me?”
Izzy shrugs. “Yeah, just call me a romantic.”
“Don’t call me a damn romantic. I just didn’t want to hear the constant whining.” Nikki laughs.
“Well, thank you guys, I really appreciate you going to bat for me.” I give them both a hug and then I notice the door opening and Jess walking in. “Hey, I thought they weren’t allowing the girls here?”
"Turns out Brick called for a vote too, she's his old lady now," Wrench says in my ear.
“Really? That’s awesome!” I look back at him wondering if Brick has come clean to him yet.
"He told me, babe. Sorry, I ever thought anything different." He kisses me.
Pres waves to us and Wrench grabs my hand pulling me with him to the front of the room. “Tonight we celebrate amongst all of the craziness! We have two new old ladies with us, Carly and Jess.” The room erupts in cheers.
I turn, and Wrench is holding up a jacket with the club logo on the back of it. "Been wanting to put this on you since the first night you walked in here." I smile as he holds it up and I slip my arms into the sleeves. "Never seen a more beautiful sight."
He leans down, kissing me, and I wrap my arms around his neck not even paying attention to the ache in my side but really just enjoying the moment.
"I love you, Jaxon Peters."
He looks down at me, the love in his eyes warming my entire body. "I love you, babe, more than I ever thought could be possible."
“Welcome to the family.” Pres steps in front of me and I hug him.
“Thank you.”
He looks behind me at Wrench. “Need to talk to you.”
"Got it, I'll be back in a little bit, babe." He places a kiss on my lips, and then they disappear down the hallway.
I walk over to Jess. “Congratulations!”
She spins around to face me. "Ah! I can't believe this. Congratulations to you too lady!" She hugs me, and I look over at Brick.
“Congrats to you too, thanks for letting Wrench in on what happened too.”
"Of course." He wraps one arm around me. "Now we both got what we wanted."
“It just feels like everything is finally falling into place. Like I can take a breath.” I see the other girls over by the bar and decide to go introduce myself. I don’t know most of them aside from their names.
“Hey, ladies.” I smile and wave my hand awkwardly.
“Hey girl, let me officially intro—“
Nikki’s sentence is cut off by what sounds like fireworks at first.
