Chapter 21
Emma and I get up early and it's not long before Ari joins us. We are in the kitchen rummaging through cabinets and such trying to put together some form of breakfast. There’s nothing like making ourselves at home.
A few minutes later, Ice walks into the kitchen and says, "Ladies.”
"Ice," Emma and I say in unison. Emma turns toward him and hands him a cup of coffee.
"Thanks, love," he says, kissing her on the cheek.
Just then, Rebel comes in. Ice looks at him and asks, "All good?"
"Yes, they'll be here first thing in the morning," he replies.
"Good," Ice replies.
"What will be here?" Emma asks.
"Need to know, babe, remember?" he tells her and she sighs in frustration. One of these days, she'll get it.
Doc and Ryder join us in the kitchen and Ice says, "I'm gonna go call Willie." I have no idea what he is talking about and I know he isn't gonna tell us, so I just continue to go about getting breakfast ready for everyone.
Not long after Ice leaves the kitchen, Ciara, the chick from last night, comes in. I can tell already that this chick is a player; if someone doesn't set her straight soon, she is gonna cause all kinds of havoc. I appoint myself and just as I'm about to bitch-slap her, Ice comes back into the kitchen. He looks around and he sees the problem.
Just as smooth as ever, he walks over to Ari and kisses her on the cheek. "Hey, sweetheart," he says.
She gives him a big hug and says, "Hey, Caden."
He then turns to Ciara and says, "Ciara, I don't believe you've met my sister."
She stutters, "N…No … I haven't. Not formally, that is."
"Imagine my surprise when Rebel here, my Sgt. at Arms, asked my permission to date my sister. But, as I'm sure you well know, Rebel isn't just my sergeant, right? He's my friend and cousin on my dad's side. We bikers, we like to keep it all in the family, now don't we, Reb?"
Smirking, Rebel replies, "Absolutely, Boss!"
"And you wanna know something else about us bikers?" he asks.
"Yeah, what?" she says defiantly.
She is as dumb as a fucking box of rocks. She still doesn't get it. But I'm sure that she is about to.
"We don't take kindly to bitchy ex-girlfriends fucking around with our old ladies. You got me?" When she doesn't answer, he gestures over to Emma and says, "This is Emma, my old lady. And over there is Honey, the woman who single-handedly takes care of all my boys."
"Nice to meet you," she says curtly. She then turns and stomps out of the kitchen. And just like that, she is gone.
Then Ice turns to Rebel and says, "Liam just came down. Let's go." Rebel nods and they both leave the kitchen. They aren't gone long before we hear them all proceed down the basement. They must be having a meeting.
About forty-five minutes later, we have everything ready for breakfast. Emma walks over to the basement door, opens it, and calls down to the boys,
"Breakfast is ready."
We set up everything buffet style to accommodate everyone. The guys come up and the first in the room is Rebel. He beelines straight for Ari, gives her a big hug and whispers something in her ear that I could not hear. She giggles, so it must have been something good. He then turns to Emma and me and says, "Thanks for making breakfast, ladies. I'm starving!"
"Plates and utensils are over there." I point to the end of the counter. "And food is over there," I say, pointing to the table in the center of the room. "Help yourself and find a place to eat," I say as the rest of the guys begin to pile in the kitchen.
Once everyone has food and is scattered around the living room and dining room eating, Ciara walks in. She's wearing a pair of skinny jeans that look as if they've been painted on her body. She has a Harley shirt on, the front is covered with sparkles and displays the Harley logo but the back is cut out, revealing that she is not wearing a bra.This little bitch is about to get sent packing.
"Where's my breakfast?" she asks petulantly.
"All the food is in the kitchen. Help yourself. We cook, we're not serving," Emma says, and then she leans over to Ice and asks, "What's her deal?"
He laughs again and says, "Another long story."
Everyone seems to enjoy breakfast and Damon and Patrick don't seem too annoyed that we took over their kitchen. The girls and I clean up the food and dishes while the guys chill out in the living room. When we're done, we join them.
The guys talk for a while. Liam, the man that I assume has been helping them, excuses himself, saying that he's got some things to take care of. After he leaves, Ice says, "That reminds me, I need to make a few calls myself." He turns to Emma and says, "Sorry, babe. Let me get this taken care of and then we can discuss those notes." He looks over at the guys and says, "When I'm done, let's meet downstairs."
"You got it, boss," Rebel says.
Cade leaves the room and heads out the front door while the rest of us continue to hang out and catch up.
