Chapter 1

Judy:

I have lived in this town for a few years now and it is the same ol' thing day in and day out. I was working at the grocery store for almost a year but was let go due to downsizing. I didn't want to leave here so I looked around and took a job at the local diner. This place is always busy from five am when we open until midnight when we close. I was working the late shift for awhile but I was changed to mornings about seven months ago and that is when my life got interesting.

The days were blending together with seeing the same people and doing nothing new until I started working breakfast and lunch at the diner. I first seen him a month after my schedule changed and I have seen him most days since. I know he belongs to the local mc by the vest he wears with their logo but I have never really spoken much to him. He is the most gorgeous man I have ever seen in my life and I want nothing more than to speak to him but he says the bare minimum when he orders. I was lucky when I found out his name is Chains and I feel that fits this man perfectly. He is over a foot taller than me with dark blonde hair that hangs to his shoulders and I can see his tattoos peaking from under his shirt not to mention the piercings he has. I looked as much as I could and seen a ring on his eyebrow, a small stub in his nose and I can tell he has his nipples pierced as well.I drool all over myself everyday that I see him walk into the diner.

Today seems like it will be like every other until a group of bikers walk in. I don't know them and neither does Trish and she knows everybody since she has lived here most of her life. I was praying they sat in her section but it seems the universe is not on my side because they did exactly what I didn't want them too. I took a deep breathe and Trish gave me a pat on the back then wished me luck before she went to check on her tables. I walked over and as soon as I did they started making cruel remarks to me. I know I'm not skinny but damn calling me a cow is not the way to get good service.

It has been about half an hour since they came in and they are still just down right picking at me. I don't know if I can take much more and what's worse nobody will take over the table for me. I honestly feel like drinking after work and that is something I never do. For me it brings back too many bad memories of my stepdad growing up and let me say that man was an angry drunk. I had to shake off the bad memories coming back to my mind and focus on taking these assholes their food. There is no need to think about my stepdad since I haven't seen the man since I was 15 years old. When I get to their table one of them trips me and I fall forward when I do my head bounces off the floor instead of helping me they just start laughing. They changed up the name calling and starting saying piggy fell on the floor and ask if I was going to roll around in the mud.

I couldn't take it anymore I got myself up threw the food at them and ran out the door. When I started running to my car I hit a brick wall. When I looked up Chains was looking down at me with those deep green eyes and he did not look happy at all.

" What happened to your face sweetheart? And please do not lie to me" Well shit! I don't know why but looking into his eyes and seeing the worry there makes me want to tell him everything.

" There are a bunch of bikers in the diner causing some trouble" He is giving me a questioning look guess he wants more than that.

" Judy I will only ask you one more time what happened to your face" Well guess I will be explaining

I started to tell him what happened and I told him everything that happened from the time they walked in the diner. He was pissed enough but it got worse when I started to cry because of the names they called me. He kissed me on the forehead which made me gasp and jump back in surprise this man has never showed any interest in me and now he is showing me this affection. He stepped away from me and made a phone call within ten minutes I heard the sound of multiple motorcycles. I turned around to see what had to be most of his club turning into the diner parking lot. They all parked their bikes and got off one man nodded at Chains and they all went inside. When they walked in everyone but the bikers ran out because they didn't want to be in there and I couldn't blame them.

I was standing in the parking lot with everyone else when the gunshots started. It took all of five minutes and the diner had no windows. It went on for a few more minutes and I couldn't understand how the police hadn't come here yet. Before I knew it Chains and his friends were coming out of the diner. Chains was holding his arm and I ran to him without thinking.

" Are you okay what happened" This is not how I seen my day going at all. Gunshots at the diner what in the hell is going on today.

" I'm good sweetheart don't worry just need to get some stitches and I need to get out of here" Yeah I figured he would leave now

" Will you be back" Geez I couldn't sound more desperate but I also don't want him to leave yet

" Not for awhile but you can always come find me. Just ask someone where the disciples hangout and you can find me" He winked at me and walked away.

Why do I find myself wanting to find him. He wasn't gone ten minutes and I found out where the bar was from Trish. Maybe I will go see him and make sure he is ok. But I may not he was probably just being nice. The owner arrived at the same time as the police. He said he can have the place fixed but for the next few weeks we will all be off. At least he said he is going to pay us during the time off. Whatever happens in the future at least I don't have to worry about paying my rent this month. But for the moment I will go home and have a nice hot bath. Trish said she will take me to the bar tonight so I need to get ready and pamper myself first!
