Bijou Hunter Quote
Farah looked freaked out until Tawny hugged her and the tension faded from her face. A minute later, the table cloth lifted and Bailey appeared with beer bottles in her hands. I figured you’d need booze to deal with the boredom of hiding. I can’t drink, Farah said. I’m off the pill and trying to get knocked up. I am knocked up. I also don’t like that brand of beer. Handing the beers to Tawny, Bailey nodded. Be back in a sec. A minute later, Bailey returned with two cans of Coke for Farah and me. So what are we talking about? Bailey asked. Men needing to protect their women, I explained. Lame. Talk about something I can join in on. What’s your sister like? Is she hotter than me? Yes. I hate her and you should tell her to watch out. If I see her, that pretty face is dead meat. Grinning, I cuddled up with her as the table shook from fighting bodies knocking against it. You’re having a baby? she asked, wrapping her arms around me. Everyone is getting married or having babies. Raven isn’t, I said as Farah peeked out from under the table cloth to check on Cooper. She smiled and returned to her spot. Judd and Aaron have stripped Mac down and are shoving him out the door. Tawny laughed. Judd finally got to punish Mac for letting me touch his arm months ago. Good for him. Laughing, I leaned my head against Bailey. Raven has bad taste in men. Going out with her will be great for you. If Raven likes someone, you’ll know he’s a loser. So she’ll distract all the shitty guys from you. Huh. And she’s hot, so she’ll draw guys to us. I think she might be my new best friend, Bailey said, taking a swig. ‘Don’t be jealous. I just need a man because all of the kissing and fucking and marrying and baby making you guys keep doing. I can’t be the only one alone and Vaughn doesn’t count because he’ll be dead in a few months and shouldn’t be dating anyway. We all frowned at Bailey who shrugged. Those Devils fuck are going to kill him or he’ll try to kill them and get killed. Why do you think they call him Dead Man Walking? You’re bumming me out, I told her while finishing my soda. I wish Aaron was here. As you wish, Aaron said, leaning down. Look at you pretty girls hiding under here. We’re not hiding, I said, crawling out. We’re planning our attack. You know, just in case you couldn’t handle things. When Aaron grinned, I noticed blood on his lip. You’re hurt. You should see the other guys. Glancing around, I noticed Mac’s friend was propped up on the pool table and the other guys were throwing pretzels and peanuts at him. In the corner, Kirk and Jodi sat as if on their porch drinking lemonade and admiring the sunset. My hero, I said, caressing the cobra. Are you talking to me or the tattoo? Both, baby. Always both.
