tell you.
Me: I am relaxed.
Lucas. Sure you are. Do you have a tight grip on your phone?
Fuck. Maybe I had, but he didn’t need to know that.
Me: Lucas, tell me.
Lucas: Fine, West will be there, along with Lani and Gregory.
Me: Fuckface is going? Did you tell him?
Lucas: I haven’t seen him to tell. I won’t do it over the phone. I’ll let him know.
Me: Where’s this study date?
Lucas: Library, so it’s out in the open WITH other people there.
Lucas: Wait. Don’t you dare think of showing up.
Smiling, I didn’t answer. It would be best not to lie at the start of the relationship.
Lucas: Wade! Answer me. Do not show up!
Lucas: Wade!
Me: Got to go, got church with the brothers.
Lucas: Wade, don’t think I didn’t notice you didn’t say anything! On a side note: you go to church with the others???
Chuckling, I shook my head.
Me: Not church, Lucas. It’s a meeting with all of us but it’s called church.
Lucas: Oh. All right, have fun in church.
Me: Talk soon!
Lucas: Can I just say I like texting with you. I like talking with you and looking at you. I also like where this is going with us.
Christ, my heart gave a hard thump in my chest, and my gut was dancing around like a girl’s. He made me feel, and it was fucking good.
Me: How’s the blushing going now?
Lucas: It’s bad.
Me: Wish I could see, and Lucas, I like all those things with you too.
Lucas: I’m glad, but you still can’t come to the library. Promise, please.
Laughing, I shook my head.
Me: Later.
Lucas: Wade (whatever your last name is) I can handle this.
Me: It’s Williams, and I know you can.
Lucas: I feel like you left off a but at the end. However, there shouldn’t be a but.
There was one hell of a big but on the end, and it would be: but I was still going because even though I knew he could handle it, I still wanted to be there as backup, and I didn’t want fuckface to even try to touch him.
Lucas: I’m sighing right now. Anyway, have a good church meeting. Don’t reply to this text because then I’ll want to reply because I like to be the last one to respond and I’ll feel like I need to respond more if you write back to me. And I’ve rambled, but you’ll have to get used to this. Plus, my teacher is now getting suspicious. Bye!
Goddamn, he was cute.
Still grinning, I walked into the room church was held in to find everyone was already there.
“Look here, brothers, Wreck’s smilin’. Do we need to worry?” State, our vice president, taunted.
“Fuckin’ A we need to worry. Can’t remember the last time I’ve seen it,” Country, our president, added.
Saint joined in with “Someone got himself some.”
If he only fuckin’ knew who it was with. Then again, I wanted to live longer so I was glad he didn’t.
I scowled. “Shut the fuck up,” I snarled.
The brothers laughed, but it was Death who said, “There he is. For a moment, I worried you were a Stepford wife.”
Asshole, he knew exactly who I was smiling about.
“Can we get this meetin’ started?” I asked, taking a seat at the long oval table next to Death.
“You got somewhere to run off to?” State asked with a smirk. I shot him the middle finger. He laughed and then nodded to Country.
Country lifted the gavel and smacked it down. “Shut the fuck up, everyone, church is startin’.” He took a breath and leaned forward. “Brothers, can’t fuckin’ say enough about how proud I am of our club. The new charter is runnin’ smoothly so far. Our businesses—Polished Pussy, Meat ‘n’ Eat, Fitness For You, and We Got You, Protection Agency—are boomin’. Shit is lookin’ good. We need to keep this shit up, but I’m not damn stupid. I know things can’t be good forever. We need to stay vigilant. Quake, anythin’ we need to know about those motherfuckers?” Country meant our rival club that wanted to deal their coke in our territory. We didn’t deal in drugs or guns. Yeah, we smoked some pot, we had guns to protect ourselves, but we wouldn’t sell any of that shit. Country wanted our family protected from that crap, and he made sure of it. In whatever way we could. Sometimes it was ways that were illegal, but we got stuff done and made sure to anyone else watching, it was clean. Made sure the cops stayed off our backs. Especially since there were
