11, One of those days

Nash

I watched in disbelief as Tite walked over to Shadow and how the two of them started talking and acting like they were long-lost besties. Fuck! I told myself I didn’t care. Sure, Shadow had never been able to pull someone I wanted to get into my bed before, and it stung. Then I reminded myself I didn’t want Tite in my bed. My inner voice laughed so hard he would have pulled a muscle if he had a body. Well fuck him, fuck Shadow and fuck Tite. I didn’t want her in my bed and I didn’t have a lack of others to pick from.

“Grab a beer with me,” Little said. I saw him looking in Tite’s direction. After her little show, there wasn’t a man in the room whose attention wasn’t on her.

“I need a shower first,” I told him. I didn’t feel like sitting down and talking about our trip. I knew that was what Little, and a lot of the others, would want. I needed to clear my head, to regain my usual level headedness. I headed for my apartment, well room, and made sure to lock the door behind me. I hadn’t forgotten about Lora’s latest try to seduce me the last time I was in my shower. Lora wasn’t that bad looking. But I knew she had her eyes set on being someone's old lady, preferably someone high ranking. I didn’t have the patience to deal with that shit today. I let the water wash over me and I relaxed. I was getting fucking old if I almost enjoyed washing the dust from the road off me as much as I enjoyed being on the road. A memory of Tite riding in front of me flashed in my mind. Her legs wrapping around the bike, her ass on display in her tight pants. I groaned as the memory turned to fantasy and I imagined her naked in the shower with me.

“Fuck,” I muttered to no one and slammed my hand against the tile. I made myself erase the fantasy image. I was just tired and it had been a week or two since I had fucked someone. She had turned me down and I hated to lose. All of this had made me obsess about Tite, I told myself. It was just my wounded pride in combination with being frustrated. I needed to get a beer and then get laid. I joined Little and Doc at their table. I chose the seat that let me keep an eye on Tite and Shadow. Little and Doc were asking me about how our trip had gone, what the mother chapter was like. I tried my best to answer while hiding the fact I was getting more pissed by the minute. How come Tite and Shadow looked to have become instant best friends? Why was she smiling and laughing and talking to him when she had barely acknowledged me since our first interaction? She had said she didn’t do one night stands. Did she think Shadow was more open to something else? I had the urge to snort. He was as bad as I was. It pissed me off that he probably was lying to her to get her into bed. Fuck, it had me ready to go up to him and punch him in the face. Which was surprising, Shadow was one of our best enforcers and he and I usually got along. Truth be told, he was one of the few whom I trusted completely.

“What’s up with you? You look like someone shoved a tailpipe up your ass,” Doc said. He was one of the other persons I trusted.

“I shared a room with Bones last night. His snoring sounds like an out of tune bike in a tunnel,” I told him in my grumpiest voice. Both he and Little laughed.

“I feel fucking sorry for you. Last run we did to the biker meeting down south, I shared rooms with him for a week. I have never been so tired in my life. I slept for two days straight when we got back home,” Doc said, and chuckled. Little slapped my back with his hand that was closer in size to shovels than a hand.

“You need to get laid and then sleep,” he told me.

“Couldn’t agree more,” I said. Through the noise of the place I could hear Tite laughing and I looked over to see her and Shadow laughing their asses off. Yeah I needed a easy fuck to get that woman out of my system.

“Wolf, you are back,” Lora said with a sexy smile as she sashayed over to our table.

“I am,” I answered, sounding short on purpose. I may need a bedmate, but she was not it. It would just trade one problem for another. She didn’t take the hint. Jane, Little’s house mouse, was walking toward us. Lora gave her a stare and the poor girl did a one-eighty and vanished.

“What the fuck. Keep your woman in check, Wolf!” Little growled as Lora sat down in my lap. I stood up quicker than I had done in my life. I registered Tite was looking in our direction and I wanted to walk over to her and explain that Lora was not my woman. But I needed to sort the situation with Little out first. I didn’t want him pissed at me.

“Fuck off Little, you know Lora isn’t my woman,” I told him.

“Wolf,” Lora whined.

“Shut the fuck up and go bother someone else,” I told her.

“She may not be your woman officially, but she sure as fuck acts like it. And she scared Jane,” Little huffed.

“Let’s be honest, a housefly will scare Jane. I’m not saying it to be mean or put her down, but she needs a thicker skin,” I told him.

“You don’t know what you are talking about, so shut your mouth and keep that bitch away from Jane,” Little said and disappeared after Jane. Well, didn’t that go well, I thought. I glanced over at Tite and she was again talking with Shadow. This time they didn’t smile, they both looked serious. Fuck. I could as well go over there. By the way this afternoon was going I was going to end up doing something stupid. I might as well do it on purpose. And I had promised her to show her where she could get some food and then show her to her room. I stood up without a word to Doc and walked towards Tite. Before I could reach the table where she and Shadow sat, she got up and started to walk away. I changed my course to go after her. Shadow blocked my path. I stared at him.

“What the fuck?” I asked.

“Calm down. She is tired. I’ll take her to get some food and make sure she finds her room,” Shadow told me.

“I promised her to do that,” was all I could think of to say.

“I think it’s better if I do it. You need to talk to Lora.”

“I don’t give a fuck about Lora,” I told him. He gave me a cocky smirk.

“I know. Maybe make sure she does as well. Tite will feel better in the morning and you can give it a go then.”

“Give it a go? What the fuck are you talking about?” I asked. He looked at me and his smirk disappeared and was replaced by a hint of anger.

“For fuck’s sake! I didn’t believe it, but maybe it’s true. You need to fucking grow up,” he said. Then he was gone. I was left standing without a clue what he was talking about.
