I headed for the kitchen to talk to Raine, and when I didn’t see her, I looked around the clubhouse.
Spotting Lena, I made my way over to her, however, was stopped when Storm whistled, getting everyone’s attention.
“Yo! Shut the fuck up and let me talk. We are all here today because one of our own, one of our brothers has made it back home to us safely. It’s been a long six months, but we are fucking glad your back home. Here’s to you fucker.” Storm said as he lifted his beer and so did everyone else. I nodded with acknowledgment.
Looking around the clubhouse my body felt like something was missing.
More importantly, someone.
And when I didn’t see her after the plates of food were brought out, I knew that I had fucked up. That I had fucked up huge.
Chapter 9
Raine
It was at that moment that I knew. That I knew his heart would never be mine.
I needed bleach. Freaking asap to wipe out the images my eyes had relayed to my brain.
Walking down the hall and then down the steps, I tried not to let my broken heart show on my face. Why had he asked me to wait for him when he obviously wanted another?
Making it to the kitchen, I washed my hands, then got back to work helping the women get dinner finished. Then, I wanted to be far away from everything that included Carter Tank Calaveras.
“So, you happy he’s home?” My bestie Lena asked me with a smile on her face.
She had seen how happy I was when my dad walked in here and told us he was home.
I had lit a fire under my feet as I ran up the stairs as laughter followed in my wake.
She knew that when we had gotten word that he was headed home, I had been ecstatic. Sure, he didn’t reply to a lot of my texts, but that was his norm.
Or at least… I had thought it was until I walked in and saw what I saw.
But… before I could answer her, Summer came walking in with a smile on her face, and I knew she had heard what Lena asked me.
Because a smile was on her face and then she said, “I know I sure am. Damn that man’s cock is heaven. And the strength of his tongue.”
Lena gasped, “Wait, he fucked you?”
Summer smirked, placed her hand on her hip, and then said, “He sure the hell did.
“You’re lying.” Lena snapped.
That was when Summer, the skanky whore looked at me, and asked snidely, “Am I?”
Lena’s head snapped my way as concern laced her brow.
I shook my head, silently telling her I didn’t want to talk about it. Not at all.
And why I had expected Tank to come find me as soon as he got home like he always did, I didn’t know. Especially with the way he had been acting these last six months.
Heck, I had even prepared for the worse, my father telling me that he was sure he was safe and not to worry.
I had only released the fear of him dying over there when my dad told me yesterday that he was headed home.
Right now, though, I had to grit my teeth as they talked around me, Lena still at my side. I was about to tell them all to shut the heck up when I got a call.
See, while I was in school going for my degree I also volunteered as part of my credit hours in the neonatal department and the local hospital.
