Page 64 of Ride or Die

Today has been surreal.Standing beside my best friend, my brother, as he married the girl of his dreams was an honor. When we lived in Arizona, none of us ever pictured this moment for ourselves. Hell, I still don’t, but seeing Buster and Cali together makes me want to consider sticking with one girl and not whore around anymore. That is if I could find the right woman for myself. I won’t hold my breath. I don’t have the best track record when it comes to dating.

As I’m searching for the Riders, I find my sister sitting at a table by herself. I stop and sit with her.

“What’s up with you,” I ask her. She shrugs.

“Nothing.” She deadpans.

I stare at her while she makes it a point not to look at me. “Come on, sis. Talk to me.”

“There’s nothing to talk about,” Wren says.

“Fine, but you can talk to me right?”

“Yeah, I know,” she replies with an eye roll.

I stand. “I love you, Wren.”

She sighs. Damn it, she’s exhausting. “Love you, too.”

Something is going on with her and I fucking hate she won’t talk to me about it. I’m not gonna force it out of her. I find the Riders hanging out closer to the clubhouse.

“Is everything okay with Wren,” Smokey asks me. Dude has always had a thing for my sister but she’s never been into him.

“I don’t fucking know. She won’t talk to me,” I reply.

“So what’s on the agenda for the rest of the night,” Maverick asks, changing the subject. I’ll have to thank him later. “Y’all got any tire biters?”

“Yeah, but Minx banned them from the clubhouse for tonight,” I tell him.

“Let’s take them to Bluez Lounge,” Clutch suggests. Our Arizona brothers head back home first thing Monday morning. We had planned to take them out tonight all along. I knew Buster and Cali wouldn’t be awake too late. The more pregnant she gets, the more tired she is.

“I’ve heard good things about it, but I’ve never been,” I say.

“Well, let’s check it out!” Maverick replies. “As long as there are some hot chicks there, I’ll be good.”

Leave it to Maverick to always be searching for ass. He’s worse than me. I’m not in the mood to go out, but I go anyway.

What I wasn’t aware of then was how great of a decision it actually was.
