“Rommy’s a pretty cool woman.”
“Yeah,” I said, but she was more than cool. There was something special about Rommy.
She was different, but in a way where she was easily accepted and stole a bit of your heart with how sweet and funny she was.
She was honest, curious, and most the time, no one could guess what was going to come out of her mouth. She cared too much sometimes, worried her differences would offend someone. Only it never would, not in our club. She was protective, and if something annoyed her, she sorted it right there and then. Like when Spider had snapped at her about the wheels on his ride, telling her she didn’t know shit. She proved him wrong when she went on a tantrum about the right wheels for half an hour. He tried to walk off, but she just followed.
In the end, Spider sent back the wheels he’d ordered and got the ones Rommy had suggested. She was someone who anyone could connect with. She knew a lot and loved to share everything she did know.
I knew her and Eve connected on a different level to Eve’s friendship with Dusty, and I could see how much Rommy cared for Eve.
I could also see the longing in her gaze when Rommy looked at Eve at times.
I only noticed since it was something I’d felt for a fucking long time.
Rommy was into Eve.
I should be jealous. They were close after all, but I couldn’t be.
Not when Rommy had helped Eve in ways no one else had.
“Eve’s never been this affectionate to the other women,” Tech said as Eve leaned her head down to Rommy’s shoulder, and Rommy rested her temple against it. They straightened when Low said something, and Rommy went on another word vomit, which was always cute.
“I’m not even sure if she’s noticed how much they hang off each other. It’s like that when we’re doing anythin’. They gravitate to each other. A brush of their hand or hugging or leaning into each other.”
“You okay with that?”
Why wouldn’t I be? Eve was thriving.
But what happens when Rommy leaves?
Fuck. I wasn’t sure how that was going to be, but we’d work it out.
“Have you seen your sister this happy?”
“Never.”
“I can’t be upset with their connection.”
“I heard Rommy’s bi. What would you do if they have somethin’ more than friendship?”
“Then I’d share Eve because I’d give my woman anythin’ she’s ever wanted. Even if that means Rommy. All I want is for her to be happy and content like she usually is around me and Rommy.”
Tech’s gaze burned at the side of my face. He let out a whistle. “You’ve got it bad.”
Grinning, I clasped him on the shoulder. “So damn bad.”
“Wish you luck, brother.”
“I’ll wish you the same when you find yourself someone who’ll put up with you.”
He snorted. “Not anytime soon, thanks. Now, let’s get some food.”
I tipped my head to the table. “I’m gonna check if they’ve eaten.”
He snorted and went towards the kitchen while I made my way over to the table.
When I placed my hand on each of their shoulders to show I was there, both of them tipped their heads up and smiled brightly at me. My throat closed over.
