Chapter IX

I woke up to an empty bed when I could have sworn some one was supposed to be there. Hearing pots and pans moving around in the kitchen I get up to see whats going on. Putting on my rob I head for the kitchen where There are 5 men and two woman in my house that I hadn't met before. Jasper was talking to one of the men at the table and quickly came over to me. It wasn't two late in the morning barely 8:30am so what were all these people doing here? He read my expression saying, "I'm sorry I didn't talk to you last night about them stopping by. I've kind of been talking you up to some of the guys and they wanted to meet you." "And waiting until a person is awake is too much to ask?" I said not looking at him but the man behind him. He stood up and walk over to us. To say this man looked like a big bear was an understatement. He made a mountain intimidated with his size and presence alone, but I didn't back down from his gaze. This was still my house and they were still strangers in my eyes. If I had to gues this was the club president.

"I am sorry for showing up unannounced and at a time when you weren't awake. Some of us were impatient and didn't want to listen to Strings." the huge man said continuing, "I'm Max and I'm the president of CDXX biker club here in Honeydew," he held out his hand for me to shake. Reaching for his hand he had a strong grip but did crush my hand thankfully. "Laura Witlock, pleasure. Umm could you give Jasper and I a few minutes please?" I said grabbing Jasper's hand and walking back to my room closing the door. I turn back to look at him and wait for and explanation.

Looking like the little boy with his hand caught in the cookie jar he says, "It slipped my mind last night. I seen you and for got everything else. I now that's no excuse I'm just telling you what happened." Shaking my head arms crossed I say, "You could have woke me up. This is still my house and I don't let just anyone in. I live a private life for a reason or wait how did you know where I lived?"

He looked nervous and wouldn't look me in the eyes saying, "I had a background check done on you. Look don't be mad. I just wanted..." he didn't even get to explaining before I smack him across the face hard. "Get out." I said trying to keep my temper in check. "Please just listen." "You had every opportunity to get to know me and this is what you do? Couldn't just ask me you have to know everything a head of time before a person can say it on there own. No get the fuck out!" I said opening my bedroom door pointing to the exit.

At that moment the President hurried to us asking, "Whats going on?" "You are uninvited guests in my house and I barely know this man. Now if I choose to ever see him again it will be on my terms and time, am I clear?" I said in an authoritative voice. The shocked looks of everyone in that room said it all. No one had ever spoken to there president that way before and the fact that I was shocked them even more. "Look maybe we got off on the wrong foot here," Max tried to say attempting to calm the situation down. "Wrong foot, leg, arm I don't give a shit. I don't do well with strangers and have yet to inform him of this, let alone you so now here we are. Get out." I said so frustrated that no one was listening. The other people had already started leaving while Jasper hovered at the door waitng for his president.

"Don't hold this against him. Its not his fault for others peoples actions," Max said walking out the door. "No, but it is his responsibility to inform others of possible surprises when first being acquainted with some one new." I said looking at Jasper as he walked out the door. I close it waiting for all the bikes and car to leave my house. Sitting on the couch I put my head in my hands and start crying. Fuck if I wasn't scared. Oh god why didnt he just tell me last night? And whats so hard with talking to me? I answered every question he had.

Remembering the last couple weeks he asked me so many questions about my life and what I wanted to do with it. I answered as best I could because I was still working through basic ways of life like routine and didn't always have an answer. He never asked about money which I respected about him up until this moment.

Looking up through the window he was there sitting on his bike outside my house on the other side of the street. Closing my curtains I walk to my bathroom to take a shower hopefully washing his scent away and possibly my feelings.

I messed up. I didn't even know I could mess up this bad, but I did and I'm not sure how to fix it. My brothers and president with his wife showed up before we were even awake. I didn't think she would mind so I let them in, but boy was I wrong. I knew she had a probably being around a lot of people, but I didn't think it was this bad. Well springs one family on a new person on the second date could put a bad light one things.

Everyone just wanted to meet the woman who finally caught my eye. I didn't party like my cub brothers and sisters which some times put the president in a bind. There was always some good looking patch chaser looking to snag me, but I wasn't interested. I liked to have a woman on occasion, but I wanted the one that was mine alone. Meaningless sex was for the body to release that's all and that's why I never had a steady woman in my life. Until this curvy woman stepped on to patio of the restaurant I was eating at one day and changed my world forever.

She was beautiful and mysterious which peaked my curiosity to want to know more about her. The background check was just to get to know her, but I didn't consider the fact that she has been out for 17 years and probably doesn't know about dating apps. Trying every way I can think of the apologize to her I keep coming up with a dead end or a burning mess returned to me. At least she's getting them.

Sitting outside her house for the 2nd week in a row hoping she would sit in her living room soon. There is movement in the house and she closes the curtains stopping me from seeing her again. This could be considered stocking. I decide to leave before she decides to call the cops when I hear her bike turn over and she back out decked out in black and purple leather. Fuck me that should be illegal. Talk about distracting the driver.

She pulled out on to the street and sped down the road turning right at the stop sign. Not wasting my time I put my helmet on and speed off after her. Catching her at the light going into town coming up behind her. The light turns green and she continues forward all that ass on display. Staying focused on the road she turns left to go and heads towards the restaurant we first met at. She parks along the side taking her helmet off and walks inside. I park next to her and head in hoping my instincts were correct. There on the patio in the shadiest corner she sat with a pitcher of strawberry lemonade and two glasses.

Walking over I was apprehensive about what was to happen than sitting across from her so my full attention was on her. Sipping her drink she looks at me over her glass a bit critical as she looks me over. "I hope this turns out better than that morning Jasper, I really do," she says waiting for me to explain my actions.
