Envy (5 page)

I’m bored of waiting! I need action, I’m not going to get Raven just sitting here.

I look over at Venom, my stupid brother. He has a drunken girl sprawled over him and it’s just another thing on my long list that is pissing me off. I wish he would just fuck her already so I can kill her and be done with it. I always have to do Venom’s killings because he hasn’t got the balls to do it.

“Venom!” I shout over at him.

He straight away stops what he’s doing and walks over to me. Much to the whores’ disappointment, as she sulks while Venom walks away.

“Brother.” Venom greats me.

“Go and get Switch.” I order.

“I think he’s upstairs.” Venom tells me and I raise my eyebrows.

“Did I ask where he is, or did I tell you to get him for me?” I snap.

Without another word, Venom runs away and then I’m joined by his little whore.

“Impressive.” She purrs. “I like a man in control.”

I turn to look at her, she’s not too bad looking, if fake and dirty are what you like. Lucky for me, I don’t really give a shit.

“Suck my dick.” I order her and I see the pleasure ripple through her.

Without question, she gets down on her knees, unzips my jeans and begins to suck on my cock. I don’t even enjoy it, but what I do like it the look on my brothers’ face when he walks back with Switch right behind him.

I push the girl away, and she squeals as she falls to the floor. If I didn’t know any better, then I would think she rather enjoyed that.

“Strike.” Switch greets me.

“I need Raven.” Is all I say.

“We will find her.” Switch insists.

“Then fucking get her!” I shout.

Nobody stops what they’re doing, that’s because they are all used to this. Me shouting and demanding is a daily tradition. Now, if they stopped and stared, that would be a problem.

“She’s surrounded by Kings members, there’s no way in.” Switch replies and I can hear the desperation pouring from him.

“You got her in your bed before, do it again.” I remind him.

“She was different back then and she didn’t know who I really was. She will never trust me.” Switch reminds me.

Of course, why would I be so stupid?

“What about our inside man?” Venom asks.

I turn to look at him. My stupid and annoying brother and jump up. Venom nearly jumps out of his skin in shock as I hold his head in my hands and kiss him.

“That’s why you’re my brother.” I praise him.

I go back to my chair, pulling out one of my many phones from the drawer and sit down while the dial tone sounds though my ear. Venom and Switch stand close by.

After a couple of rings, he picks up.

“I told you not to ring me.” He snaps as he answers.

“I’m getting impatient.” I growl.

“I get that, but getting them apart is a hard job. Lauren is always with Grim, this isn’t easy!” He shouts back.

“Her name is Raven and she’s mine!” I roar even louder. “You will fucking get her back or I will kill you!”

There’s a minutes silence, and I would think he’s hung up on me but I can hear the fucker breathing.

“I have a plan.” He finally says. “Just do as I say, I think this is the only way to get Raven on her own and as soon as we do, that’s when we get her.”

I don’t like taking orders from other people. I only took it from Demon because he was my President and even then I was always thinking of ways to get rid of him.

What my little rat has to is genius! I just know it won’t be long until Raven is back with me. Exactly where she belongs.

“Oh, and one more thing.” He interrupts my thoughts. “The Kings know where you are and they’re planning an ambush.”

“When?” I ask, but as soon as I do I hear the gunfire.

Today I’m helping Lauren get to know some of the old ladies around here. Seeing as she’s with Grim now, she has to know most of them, if not all. I’m also here to see if Drew drops by, I want to ask her more about wanting to get into business together.

“He looks so much happier now.” Praises one of the old ladies to Lauren. “You’re good for him.”

“Thank you.” Smiles Lauren. We spend all morning in the club house, the children are running around and the club members are laughing together. What still surprises me though, is that even though these men are big, tattooed and some of them scary looking bikers, they adore their women. The members who have old ladies walk over to their women and children every now and then and make sure they’re ok. They give them a kiss and have a quick conversation before going back to the men of the club. It’s lovely to see, especially because the first MC I was introduced to was The Devil Spawn and we all know how that went. I adore watching the men pay the ladies in their lives attention and bringing smiles to their faces. It makes me believe that happiness can happen.

The children absolutely love Lauren and I think they feel the same about me, seeing as they won’t leave me alone. I’m overcrowded with giggling children but I don’t mind at all.

“You know Lauren, the younger girls will look up to you now.” Nelly, one of the old ladies teases her. Lauren instantly looks worried and I laugh silently.

“No.” Lauren shakes her head.

“Oh yes they will.” I nudge Lauren in the side. “You’re the VP’s Old Lady.”

“You’re new, young and pretty. Never mind that you’re with Grim, who is soon to be President. You’ll be a role model to the girls.” Marie another old lady says to her. They’re teasing her, but there’s truth to what they are saying. All the young kids around here already love her, they will grow to respect her and look up to Lauren.

Nelly has a 2 year old son and Marie has three children. She’s an experienced old lady and is one tough bitch. Along with Laura, Grim’s mother and women like Marie and Nelly around her I’m sure she will become a great role model around here. After Nelly and Marie leave with their children I look to Lauren and see the embarrassment written all over her face.

“Don’t beat yourself up about it.” I interrupt her worrying thoughts. She turns to look at me, she’s frowning and looks a little pale.

“I can’t be what they want me to be.” She says with tears in her eyes.

“You already are.” I laugh. “Lauren, why are you so scared?”

“Are you forgetting that not too long ago what a bitch I was? I can’t be a role model to all these girls! I don’t want them to turn out like me.”

She looks really panicked and I squeeze onto her hand. “Lauren, I didn’t know that girl and I never will. She’s long gone and you’re an amazing person. These girls would be so lucky to be anything like you. You want to know why?” I ask her.

“Why?” She sniffles and I have to hide my smile. She doesn’t even know how adorable she looks right now. She has no idea how strong she is, these bratty teenagers would be lucky to anything like her!

“Lauren, you’re one of the best people I know. You’ve been through the worst crap and come out amazingly. You have to see that.” I plead. Lauren gives me a sad smile and then leaps into my arms. After a couple of minutes we begin to laugh.

“Thank you.” She wipes her tears.

“For what?” I ask, wiping my own tears.

“For being my best friend.” She simply answers.

“Exactly, if I was the same person I was before I met you, you wouldn’t have wanted me as your best friend.” I joke. At that we both burst out laughing however, when Devlin walks by with a few more club members, I stop. Devlin doesn’t see me, he’s too busy talking quickly amongst the men as they hurriedly walk by, but Lauren notices that I am no longer laughing along with her and that my attention is elsewhere.

“So, you and Devlin.” Lauren wiggles her eyebrows. I take my eyes from Devlin and look at Lauren. “There is no me and Devlin.”

“Ok then.” Lauren mocks me.

I’m about to reply, when Devlin’s laugh erupts through the whole room as he walks out. That sound does crazy shit to me, I can’t even explain it. When Devlin has left, I look back to Lauren and see her smug face grinning at me and I roll my eyes. She may be right, but she doesn’t have to know that.

“Hello ladies!” Drew practically skips over with a big smile on her face.

“Hi.” I eagerly talk to her, trying to take Laurens focus from Devlin.

“What are you two up to?” Asks Drew.

“Catching up with the old ladies.” Lauren answers and I’m worried she’ll drop Devlin’s name in.

“You seem pretty happy.” I observe.

“Do I?” Drew asks, but I know it’s no shock I pointed this out as she smiles and flicks her hair around. “I’ve had a chat with dad.”

“About your tattoos?” Lauren asks.

Drew nods. “I took Devlins advice. Dad wasn’t happy that I’ve been lying but he’s better now that I’ve spoken to him. He’s even going to help me break the news to mum.”

“That’s great!” I answer.

“What do you think she’s going to say?” Lauren asks.

“I really don’t know.” Drew sighs. “She doesn’t care about my brothers, just me. She’s made it pretty clear she thinks tattoos are more of a man’s thing than a woman’s.”

“You’ll be fine.” I wrap my arm around her.

“She just has to understand you are your own person.” Lauren adds.

There’s a couple of minutes of silence and I know Drew’s good mood is falling from her chat with her dad. I need to cheer her up.

“I’ve been thinking about the idea of us working together.” I begin.

As soon as I speak the words she jumps up and smiles broadly. “Oh my god me too!”

“I’ve even found the perfect spot.” I quickly add. “It’s just around the corner, and not too expensive.”

“That’s great, because I spoke to my dad about it and him and Devlin think it’s an amazing idea!” Drew claps.

“Devlin?” I ask.

“Yeah, he was with me when I was speaking to my dad. They don’t like me working in the bar, so I’m not surprised but what shocked me was that they said the club will pay!” She squeals.

“No!” I gasp.

“Yes!” She screams. “Devlin said it would be a great addition to the other businesses they own. We would be in charge of course, my dad just said we need to sort the money situation out.”

“Money situation?” I ask.

“Yeah, they don’t want anything back, but just said to sort how to split the earnings.” Drew explains.

“That’s amazing.” I can’t believe the club would do this for us. I’m not used to this kind of kindness.

“Congratulations girls.” Lauren smiles.

“I say we need another celebration night.” Drew grins.

“I agree to that. What about you Tash?” Lauren smirks in my direction. The sneaky bitch.

“Count me in.” I smile to Drew because the smug look on Lauren’s face is annoying to look at. She’s lucky I love her so much.
