is awesome,” Daisy said.
“You’re only saying that so I don’t tease him.”
Daisy shrugged. “You can’t tease him. He’s like amazing. I don’t think there is anyone in the world who is going to beat him in the kissing department. I’m sorry. But I can officially say I got the best boyfriend in the world.”
“Not possible,” she said, laughing.
Daisy joined in and they collapsed to the ground, chuckling. “Damn, this is so much fun.”
“Yeah, we’ve got to do this more often.” Tabitha took her friend’s hand. “Can we make a pact or a promise to each other?”
“What kind?”
“The kind that says no matter what choices we make in life, or if we hate each other, we’ll always be best friends and it means we can hate each other for a little while but we’ve always got to stick together?”
“You’re going to follow Simon to Piston County, aren’t you?” Daisy asked. “It’s why you want to make this pact.”
“I love him, Daisy. I know he would give up the club for me and I’m not going to do that.”
“What about you and this club?” Daisy asked. “We’re your family.”
“And I will always be your family no matter what. It’s not like I’m ever going to be a patched-in member, is it? I’ll wear the property patch of my dad and then onto my husband, even if I was to stay here. I love Simon. He is my entire world and I know that now. I see it. It’s all clear.”
“It took him having to come here for you to realize it?” Daisy asked.
“Yeah, I just, I don’t want us to ever fight, you know? I love you so much and I don’t want to lose you.”
“You’ll never lose me,” Daisy said. “It will always be me and you, no matter what the guys say. They can go and suck it.”
Tabitha laughed, hugging her friend close. They sat up now and she closed her eyes, happy with her decision. Of course, she still had to tell Simon, but that would come in time. She had no intention of moving away soon.
“Well, lookie what we got here.”
Tabitha tensed up. She and Daisy got to her feet as they looked across the field to see Ryan and Luke. They weren’t alone either. It looked like a couple of guys from their crew were with them. They were in Fort Wills territory.
“You need to leave,” Tabitha said.
“Why? We’re on open land.”
“Skulls’ land,” Daisy said. “You’re in Fort Wills. The Skulls could see this as an act of war and you don’t want that.”
“Maybe we do.”
She looked at Luke. He was glaring right at her and she did the same right back. There was no way these guys were going to intimidate her.
“I’ve got to say. We were out for a stroll and I didn’t expect to come across two whores begging for it,” Ryan said, stepping away from the group.
“Ryan,” Luke said. His voice was firm.
Tabitha kept Ryan in her sight. Now if she knew Anthony, he wouldn’t allow Daisy to go anywhere without some form of protection. So long as they waited this out, he’d come to her rescue. She had no doubt.
She was tense, waiting for the impending fight.
If Anthony was close, Simon wouldn’t be far. He’d been dealing with something with Lash about his upcoming birthday.
Ryan was getting closer and Tabitha stepped in front of her friend. She wasn’t going to show fear. Rather than back down or try not to fight, she got into Ryan’s face.
“Fuck off!” she snarled at him.
He grabbed her arms and she went to knee him between the thighs, but he shoved her away hard.
Just as he was about to kick her, a rock hit Ryan in the head.
Anthony was already making his way across the field. He tossed another rock. This one hitting Ryan in the face. Tabitha scrambled back. She remembered as kids that Anthony would spend hours tossing rocks or balls. He didn’t stop until he’d mastered the perfect aim to hit every single target.
Ryan stumbled back and Luke came forward.
“I suggest you take your boys and get the hell away,” Anthony said.
Fear ran down Tabitha’s back. Anthony kept on walking toward them. The stones were gone but the intention was there.
Luke held his hands up. “We were just walking.”
“Then walk elsewhere. You want to start a fight, you come to me. Stop cornering our women like a bunch of pussies.” Anthony stood, hands on his hips, waiting.
