Axel
Getting to spend the day with Lizzy had been amazing. I actually found myself in somewhat of a bad mood the next day, knowing she would be leaving for the weekend and I wouldn't have the chance to see her for a few days. What the hell was wrong with me? I only knew the girl for a few days, and she was in my head. Any moment we weren't around each other, I was thinking about her. And that kiss. f**k did I want another one? But she was leaving town today to help her brother, so that wouldn't happen anytime soon. Which was another thing. I had told her I was fine with her riding on the back of another guy's bike, but I really wasn't. But I know that if I had said that it did, she would have used that as a reason not to talk to me again, especially after what her ex had done to her. She would be looking for anything that she could use to end whatever it was we had going on. And well, frankly, I wasn't ready to let it end yet. Sure I told myself I wasn't ready for another relationship but who the f**k was I kidding. The moment I saw her, I knew I wanted her. I knew I would try anything to convince her I was good enough for her. She was so far out of my league it was ridiculous, but I was ready to do anything and everything, so she didn't realize she could do so much better.
Tat's hand waved in front of my face. "Earth to Axel. Are you going to eat that, or are you going to glare at it all day?" Focusing, I realized my cereal had gone mushy and was no longer good. Sighing, I picked up the bowl and got up. "What the f**k is wrong with you, man?" I shook my head. "I'm fine." Rinsing the bowl out, I set it in the sink to be taken care of later. "Yeah, right. You had that look on your face last night, and today you are all grumpy." I glared at him. "What look. And I am not all grumpy." He scuffed and shook his head. "You had that look like you were falling for a girl. The same look you used to get with Amanda. And you are all grumpy." I rolled my eyes at him. "I am not. And I am not falling for anyone. I barely know anyone in this town."
Crossing his arms over his chest, he leaned against the counter. "Oh yeah, What's Lizzy's favorite color?" I sighed, "Pink, but that doesn't…" He held a hand up, cutting me off. "What is she planning to do with her life? Who is her best friend? Is she a daddy's girl or a mommy's girl? What does she enjoy doing with her time?" I shook my head, crossing my own arms in front of me. "Just because I know the answers to those questions doesn't mean I am falling for her." He just stared back at me, knowing I even knew I was lying. Of Course, I was falling for her. It was what I did. I gave my heart to a girl within hours of meeting her, only for her to rip it out eventually. "HmmmHmm, and how was your first kiss with her?" I shook my head, "f**k off. You don't know as much as you think you do. What about you and Summer?" He shrugged, "She is still playing hard to get." I shook my head and headed out of the kitchen. I loved my brother for the most part, but he was going to be a pain in the ass for a while now that he knows he is right. Which he is. I am so falling for Lizzy, and the worst thing is there was no stopping it.
A few minutes later and we were headed out. Knuckles said we had a full day today and to meet him at the clubhouse. As we pulled into the parking lot, we found it full of not just two members of The Spiked Eagles MC but about a dozen of them. Knuckles, Gunner, and a few other guys were talking with them. Lizzy sat over at one of the tables outside, playing on her phone. Just seeing her this morning brightened my mood. She was beautiful. Her sandy blonde hair was pulled to the back of her head in a low ponytail. She had on a pink shirt under a jacket. It wasn't cold out by any means, but the jacket would help protect her should there be an accident while riding on a bike. I could also see she had on blue jeans and knee-high boots. We no more than parked and climbed off our bikes, and Gunner was calling for Lizzy. It was time to go. I watched as she tucked her phone back into her bag and got up from her seat. As she walked over to her dad, she saw me and gave me a small smile. It was hard to miss that she wasn't as relaxed as usual. In fact, she looked pretty tense. I watched as she climbed on the back of one of the guy's bikes. I instantly hated the guy. He is shorter than the rest of the guys with him. He was covered in tattoos almost as much as Tats, maybe more so. It was hard to tell with how dark his skin tone was from this far away. Tat's hand slamming down on my shoulder pulled my attention away from watching her ride off with another guy. "I see. So this is why you are in a pissy ass mood this morning." Reaching up, I grabbed his hand and shoved it off me, "f**k off." Laughing hard, he smacked me a few times on the back. "Oh man, you are so screwed." I glared at my brother for a moment before punching him hard in the shoulder.
"Everything ok over here, guys?" Turning back around, Knuckles and Gunner had walked over to the two of us. Both of them looked slightly amused. I shrugged. "Yeah. So what's the agenda for the day?" The two guys watched us for a moment. I was glad Tats decided to let it drop for now. I am sure he will be back at it the moment we get back tonight. Slowly Knuckles nodded his head once, "Alright. Well seems like a good day to separate you two. Good thing that was the plan. Axel, you will be working with Gunner today. Tats, you and I will be heading out ...." Tats whistling while looking past Knuckles interrupted the guy.
Drawing all of our attention to the extremely beautiful woman that stood outside a really nice black car that had pulled up. I am not going to lie. She was stunning. A little on the short side but the hilled thigh-high boots she had on helped fix that. And then she was dressed in skin-tight black jeans and a black tank. Turning back around, Knuckles glared at Tats and pointed at him. He didn't say anything as he turned back around and walked off. Gunner started laughing and shook his head. "I take it the punch you received a few minutes ago was because you couldn't keep your mouth shut?" I nodded, and Tats stood there all confused. "That boys would be Jay, Knuckles old lady. My advice to you, Tats, would be to learn to keep your mouth shut." I couldn't help but laugh. I loved my brother, but he was going to get his ass kicked one of these days. Gunner no more than said that, and another woman climbed out of the passenger side of the car. This one looked a lot Like Lizzy, with a few slight differences. And my guess was she was Lizzy's mother and Gunner's old lady. When Tats whistled again, I wasn't at all surprised. He really didn't know when to stop. I was slightly surprised when Gunner didn't respond, though. Unlike Knuckles, Gunner ignored my brother, his eyes never leaving the woman that was walking towards us.
