Zero
The loose denim jeans she’s wearing hangs low on her hip bone and hides the slope of her body. The curve of her ass though gets the best spotlight. Her hollowed narrow face loses the fight I saw spark in her. “Why are you following me Zero. Haven't you said enough?!” The question is a rhetorical one. I take a step closer to her, and watch as she instinctively wraps her arms around her chest. “You keep walking away from me, what the fuck am I supposed to do?” “Easy, don't follow me. The point of me walking away is to get away, from you.” “You know for a girl who barely spoke a word to me this week and keeps walking away you awfully chatty.” “Well maybe I just have something to say.” Her snarky manner makes me grin as I close the distance between us. “Yeah, well so do I. For starters to answer that earlier qZero “What is a monkey with wings, hmmm.” Jo's voice is the first one I hear as I make it to the stable. Beauty's laughter is the next, and my skin prickles at the sound. My body is in tuned to hers. When I am not with her, I crave the time when I can be.Jo is sitting on a stack of hay eating Knights secret stash of ice-cream, while Beauty sits on a stack of empty beer crates in front of her eating a peppermint ice-cream.“Definitely flings,” Jo says as she laughs.I watch them for a few seconds, but as my woman being who she is, it doesn't take her long before noticing my presence.“OOOH, looks like someone just caught us,” Beauty smiles at Jo, and fuck it, she steals my fucking life for these moments when her dimple shows. I haven't noticed it before. Since we've left Kanla all those weeks ago I have learned a lot about Beauty. Small things that I haven't paid any attention to.They just add to the intricate puzzle of her. Every day
Zero “The Outfit and the Catelli family are at war. Deno called this morning and said that Vincent is on a killing spree, things aren't looking good. Kylie is witness to all of this shit. The big boss is getting worried, things aren't all picket fences with the Catelli family. Apparently, there is a shift in power. They might need to call in a favour soon if Vincent can't be controlled.” “You need us to take him out just say the word, I am not pulling rank for him,” Killer says and I know I show my shock when I look at him and the sneer way, he says it. “He’s your brother.” I point out the obvious since nobody else wants to. “Kylie is my sister, Vincent WAS my brother on condition he didn't fuck my sister.” Killer's voice is cold and I sense the presence of the ghost as he glares at me. “Right.” I say staring at him, a silent agreement passing between us. “Okay, we take him out if we have to, or whatever they ne
Zero “Beggar is here now and safe, on condition. I told you that. If she wishes to finish Lucca and your brother off, my hands are tied. She is the only one pointing the gun. I can't stop her, nobody can unless someone puts a bullet in her head.”“Am I supposed to sit back and let her kill Thorn. Finish him off like a fucking dog to be put down?” I ask, but we all know it isn't a question, that is exactly what I am supposed to do.“Zero has a point, it is his brother,” Snake says from his seat across me.“Brother or not, the story you told me and the little bit Deno let spill is different, until we know for sure that the reasons are purely a mistake on Thorns part I order you to do nothing. Right now, she isn't going to hunt your brother down, she is going to be here with us putting a stop to this fuck up and then after that you, Killer and Beggar are going to go back to what you were doing, hunt down Lucca and put him down like a fuckin’ feral animal. We have time, if that change
Beggar “Someone, and before we know it, the entire Clubhouse would know.” Hearing Jo's sneakers skidding on the floor, I get up off my chair as she comes running into the bar area holding two cupcakes instead of the muffins.They don't have frosting on it as yet, but these are the red ones, my favourite.“Thanks kid.” I take the one and wink at her, as I take a big bite.Jo bites into hers too, the kid is cute.“Let's go before the men get done.”I leave Whisp standing in the bar with Jo walking next to me.“You know, I never really opened the stable. I keep tellin’ everyone it wasn't me, but nobody besides Uncle Spade believes me.”“I believe you kid, in fact I know who did.”“You lie, who was it?”I stop on the hill as she jumps in front of me, her mouth messy with crumbs. “If I tell you, are you gonna snitch?”“Nah ah, I ain't never snitched, Snitches are wussy’s I ain't no wussy,” She folds her hands and pouts her lips, and I can't help but laugh.“You look worse than a fouls bu
Beggar “You won't take me with you to see the horses?” Hannah's daughter Jo asks me. She has her entire face shoved in mine by the bar.Zero and the other fully patched members are downstairs in the basement, having Church.Whisp and Chadley are preparing food for everyone while Den and Jade guard the main gate.I have been sitting here in the bar googling random shit, and babysitting Jo. But my mind is on finding Lucca, killing Thorn and finishing this shit with the club. Putting an end to these killings has now taken first place for the club but not to me. I see all of them as important.What I don't think about is the new life growing inside my body. My mind shies away from that part which should be the most important piece in my life.The last time it happened, the life growing inside of me was all I could think about. I was amazed that a filthy beggar as myself could carry a life. Something so precious.Look where that ended up.This is the part where I am supposed to think that
ZeroBeauty smiles and shakes her head, “I bet your ass won't see a week on a couch, you can't sit still for two hours. You couldn't even wait a twenty at KFC.”“It was a drive thru, who the fuck takes twenty minutes at a drive thru?”“Apparently you and Beggar do, the chicken tasted like crap, sure that girl wasn't one of Spades weekly's?” Killer muses as he stops next to Mercy.“Or a Killer special?” Beauty gripes and I don't hide my smile as she lifts up her hand and lets Mercy remove her gloves.It brings back our conversation last week. We were at the hotel restaurant eating breakfast. She told me that the pancakes on her plate were nothing compared to the ones Kylie made for her.I then asked her about her time with Kylie. She was thoughtful before she answered me. She said that those weeks with Kylie reminded her to inhale, that if she cut herself, she'd bleed just as much as if she cut someone else.I think my woman was telling me she l
