Tank Fallen Angel's MC 2

                       
Chapter 1

Hearing the rumble of a bike coming up my driveway, I grab my gun and creep down the stairs. I don’t know who the hell is rolling down here this late but they picked the wrong house.

Making my way down the stairs I hear the front door close softly, nothing gets past me these days. We have heard the Shadows have a new president and after the hell we raised with them, you can never be too careful.

Turning the corner, I aim at the back of a black hoodie.

“Move one fuckin’ inch and I will blow your fuckin’ head off.” I don’t play around with people breaking into my house. This is supposed to be my safe haven, my private space.

“I doubt you will do it.” That voice has me dropping my arm but not the attitude.

“Where the fuck have you been?” The black hoodie spins around to reveal those deep blue eyes that rip my heart open every time I see them.

“I went out. What is with the gun? Are we under attack?” Her laughs sound just like her mothers.

“It's fuckin’ 2 in the God damn mornin’ Bella. What the hell are you sneakin’ outta here for?” I raise my voice as she rolls her eyes. I can’t deal with females at 2 a.m.

“I didn’t know I was on lockdown. We aren’t at the club dad.” Trying to stomp her way past me I grab her arm and pull her back in place.

“I don't give a shit where we are. When I say you aren’t goin’ out that doesn’t mean you sneak the fuck out. Who the hell were you with? I warned you about bein’ on a fuckin’ bike with someone that isn’t experienced.” Growling between my teeth, I want to shake the hell out of this girl. I swear having a teenager is harder than anyone even knows.

I met Bella’s mom when I was 16. She was the sweetest girl I ever knew. We hooked up a few times, hell I loved her at 16.  I didn’t know how to be a man back then but Candy and I were together until she turned 18. I met up with the club and began to prospect and Candy hated every part of it. She hated the other girls that were always around, the runs I had to go on. None of it fit into her plans so she left me taking Bella with her.

I lost my heart that day. Losing Candy took a toll on me with her being my first love. Add the fact that she took my daughter with her and I was ruined.

Bella showed up on my doorstep a little over a year ago. Where Candy was was the question we all asked ourselves. Bella said Candy left with some guy like she usually did and never came back. She waited a few days and when she didn’t show up, she called me.

We never did figure out where the hell she went but I don’t care. I got my daughter back. How she found me wasn’t a question I ever thought about asking, I was just glad she was back. I tried to find Candy through friends but I quickly gave up on that.

“Just calm down, he’s in your club.” Those words set a fire off inside of me. As deep in the club as I am now I tried to keep it separate from Bella, I wanted better for her.

“What the fuck do you mean he’s in the club? Who the fuck is it?” Growling I swear I am going to fuck someone up. She doesn’t need to be with anyone in the club.

“Joey.”  Bella walks past me and up the stairs where I trail along behind her. The hell she will walk away from me.

“The fuckin’ prospect? Don’t walk away from me! You were told not to be around them, damn it Bella! I tried to keep you out of that shit!” Stopping at the bathroom door, she spins around to look at me.

“I’m 16 years old dad! I’m not a baby.” Scrubbing my hand over my head, I thank god I’m bald or I’d rip every piece of hair out of it right now.

“You are 16 years old. That is a fuckin’ baby! Get your ass in bed and don’t come back out. I will deal with Joey later.” I watch the nasty look cross her face before I turn and head back to my room.

The bathroom door slams shut as I shake my head.

“Got your fuckin’ hands full with that one.” Grumbling to myself, I drop back on the bed. I have to be at the fucking clubhouse in six goddamn hours. Looks like they will be meeting my daughter sooner than I had hoped but clearly, she can’t be trusted to be left alone.

I lay here trying to fall asleep but now I hear every fucking noise in this house. I can’t believe she snuck out. More so, I can’t believe I didn’t hear that little shit when she did!

And with Joey? Of all fucking people, it would be him. I don’t like that little shit. He isn’t much older than Bella but I don’t need her ending up a mother at 16 like hers was. Shit, I’m only 32 fucking years old myself!

I make a mental note to talk to Creed about this little prick when I get in. For now, I need to try and get some sleep. Like that’s going to happen now.

I lie in bed and thank god for the guys. If it wasn’t for Griff  I would have never been able to keep Bella under the radar for so long. I knew I didn’t want her in this shit since she came to live with me but it’s not an easy task to keep her away from it.

Griff  and his ex-wife, Sandra did all they could to help me but it looks like that’s about to come to an end tomorrow. She can’t stay here anymore and sending her to Sandra’s isn’t an option either. She has her own life to deal with and Bella is mine.

I don’t know that I can ever thank them enough for helping me as much as they have.

Closing my eyes, I know I need to get some sleep to deal with this hell.

             Chapter 2

Riding into the clubhouse parking lot with Bella on the back of my bike isn’t the way I planned for today to go. I didn’t want her around this shit but I guess it was inevitable.

I pull up and park before I climb off with Bella right behind me.

“I don’t know why I have to be here now.” She crosses her arms over her chest in the defiant way she always does. I swear this girl wants to test my patience today.

“Well, let’s see. You snuck out of the fuckin’ house while I was in it! I don’t think you can be trusted at home all day alone.” Stomping her foot I watch her roll her eyes.

“I have lived here for a year dad! You always let me stay at home. I don’t know why Sandra can’t just come over like always.”  Giving her my evil eye, I shake my head and walk towards the door. I bet Sandra was clueless to the fact that this little shit kept getting out.

“Yeah, I wonder how many times you stayed there.” Mumbling under my breath, I know she heard me.

I pull the clubhouse door open and wait for her to drag her ass over to it. I swear with her attitude I want to ground her or spank her or whatever the hell you do with a 16 year old.

“This is stupid.” She stomps through the door with me behind her.

“Who the hell you tellin’?” I hope she isn’t the one bitching when I caught her ass sneaking back in.

“Hey Tank.” Creed calls to me as I step inside with one hand on Bella’s shoulder. Yeah, I don’t trust this kid anymore.

“What’s up Pres. Got a minute?” Glancing over I can see the confused look on his face as he looks between Bella and me. He slowly nods his head before I yank her that way.

“Stop pulling on me!” Oh this girl and her mouth.

I walk her into Creed’s office and direct her towards a chair but she just stands with her arms over her chest.

“Sit the fuck down. Have a little fuckin’ respect.” Shaking my head, I turn towards Creed as he smiles.

“Who is that?” Nodding towards Bella I shake my head.

“This is Bella. Fuck! She’s my kid Creed.” Creed raises his eyebrows as he looks between the two of us. A stunned silence fills the room making it awkward.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Creed.” Bella smiles politely but doesn’t move. I’m surprised she can even smile without hurting herself.

“I didn’t know about this.” With his attention back on me, I know Creed wants answers.

“Is Jada around?” Creed nods and pulls out his phone.

“Hey come up here please.” Setting the phone back on the desk he looks at Bella. She doesn’t look a lot like me, I know but she is the spitting image of her mom. She always did look like Candy.

A soft knock on the door and Jada walks in all smiles.

“Hey you.” She walks over giving me a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

“Hey, this is Bella. Do you think you can take her down to the kitchen and get her somethin’ to eat?” Jada looks as confused as Creed as she looks between us. I know what she’s thinking too. I am still dating Cher.

“She’s my kid.” Jada eyes look like they may pop out of her head as she looks at Bella again.

“Fucking Christ dad. They get it!” Bella snaps as Jada’s mouth falls open. I spin around on Bella quickly and pin her with my eyes.

“You talk like that in front of her again, I will bust your fuckin’ mouth. That woman right there deserves some respect. She ain’t your mom.” Bella snaps her mouth shut as she stands.

“Hey, I’m Jada. Come on. Let the guys talk.” Bella stands and follows Jada out of the room before closing the door.

“What the hell is this?” Creed runs his hand through his hair as he looks at me. I blow out a breath before I begin to talk.

I tell him everything. Meeting Candy and how she disappeared. I told him about Bella showing up a little over a year ago.

I fill him in on how Griff and Sandra helped me keep her under the radar so no one knew she was around. Most of the time Sandra would come hang out at the house with her which worked because nobody came out that far.

“Jesus Christ. Why didn’t you ever say anythin’ brother?” Creed sits across from me, and watches me for a minute.

“I didn’t want her in the middle of this shit. I wanted her as far away from this as possible but that fuckin’ blew up on me last night.” Creed’s eyes narrow in on me as I shake my head.

“What the hell happened last night?”  Scrubbing my hand over my face, I look back at him.

“Caught her ass sneakin’ back in after sneakin’ the fuck out.” Creed looks confused before I continue. “With Joey, the fuckin’ prospect.”  Creed breaks into a grin before laughing. Glad this is funny for him.

“Jesus man! I’m sorry. Look, you been my boy for a long time and you always had my back. Whatever you need from me just say it.”  I nod as I drop my face into my hands.

“I don’t know brother. I need to find her a home school teacher and shit. The last one took the fuck off on me.” Standing up I pull out a cigarette and light it. I don’t know what the hell to do anymore.

“What about Cher? Can’t she do it?” The thought never occurred to me to ask her. That would give her the time alone that she has been asking for. She has been talking about spending time with Bella to get to know her.

“You know what, that’s a good idea brother.” I puff my cigarette a second longer before I turn towards the door.

“Let me go make sure she ain't skinnin’ your girl.” Walking out of the office Creed laughs. Yeah, laugh it up, you don’t know the little shit. Just wait until he has a kid, he’ll get it then.

              Chapter 3

Sitting at the bar enjoying a beer, I listen to Jimmy and Shell talk. Apparently, the Shadows have been out in full effect but haven’t crossed lines again. Honestly, I can’t say that I blame them after the hell we rained down on them.

“Hey babe.” Lips land on my neck and a shiver rolls over me. Cher has been an absolute godsend. I don’t think I have met anyone like her in a long time. She knows my past for the most part and she still accepted me.

The day I met Cher when I was with Creed and Jada back in their hometown something snapped inside of me. I didn’t know her from a fucking hole in the wall but there was something that pulled me to her.

The more shit that went down over there the more I felt that pull to her. Somehow, she quickly became a fixture in my life. She has become someone that I don’t want to let go of.

We haven’t been together long and I don’t think she knows it but she is the glue that holds me together. I’ve never felt the things I feel when I’m with her.

Her whole being just calls out to me. My heart needs her and if I didn’t have her I’m not sure how I would handle that. There’s an invisible chain that holds me to her and if that ever snaps, I might snap with it.

“Hmm. Baby keep that up and I will fuck you on this bar.” Turning sideways, I grab a handful of ass and pull her into my lap. Damn I love feeling her ass.

“How’s it going with Bella?” I pull back and give her the look. Cher just laughs and kisses me. I love those soft lips on me. Nipping her bottom lip, she squirms in my lap, grinding against me. Shit, she has me hard as a fucking rock already.

“Damn baby. I’m fuckin’ you all kinds of ways later.” With another squeeze of her ass, she giggles.

“Are you serious? Just fuck her in public dad!” Cher pulls back slightly embarrassed but my hands stay planted on her ass. I don’t give a shit who sees me.
