The door opens and all three come strolling in. I smile as they sit down at the kitchen island, grabbing the sandwiches I made.
Lilah breaks the silence first. “Alright. What’s going on here?”
I smile and turn to Zane first. “I want to ask your permission to ask for Bambi’s hand in marriage.”
Both women gasp and Zane just smiles.
“Of course, Brother. I’m glad you finally pulled your head outta your ass and are ready to wife her up. Just don’t ever break her heart again.”
I nod in agreement and turn to Lilah and Willow. “Now this is where you come in. Zane here is patching in tonight and I want to ask Bambi to marry me at the party.”
Lilah crosses her arms and leans back in the chair. “Let me see the ring, big brother.”
I laugh and reach into my pocket to get out the small box. Opening it up, I turn it and show Lilah, Willow, and Zane.
It’s a three ring stacked set. The middle ring, the most important, is a two carat oval diamond set in rose gold with a diamond scalloped band.
The top ring, closest to her knuckle, is a large curved tiara diamond band with diamonds studded in a v shaped pave. It has two rows of diamonds set in rose gold.
The ring at the end is a curved diamond wedding ring with diamonds set in rose gold with small milgrain leafs. Closest to the large diamond is the last ring. It’s a chevron diamond ring with diamonds set into a rose gold v shaped curved band.
I sit there in silence as both girls stare at the ring. Zane grabs the box and looks up at me.
“Holy fuck, man. This is... this is-”
Lilah interrupts. “Fucking gorgeous!”
Willow grabs the box and looks at it closer. “Dude. This is perfect for Bambi. Fucking over the top but perfect for our girl.”
I take the box back and smile at the three. “Now that we have that over with. How the fuck do I propose?”
The women laugh, but Zane stays serious. I look at him and he just shrugs.
“I don’t fucking know that girl shit, man. Ask these two hens. I gotta get to the clubhouse. Just know whatever you do, she’s gonna say yes when she sees that fucking ring.”
He pats me on the back as he walks out the door. I turn to Willow and Lilah, who have finally stopped giggling.
“Are you two ready to fucking help now?”
They nod and pull out their phones. Lilah hands me hers. “Here’s her Pinterest account. Check it out.”
Willow smiles as I scroll through the app. “Whatever you do, she’ll be happy. Just keep it simple. You aren’t a big fancy guy, so don’t go overboard. She loves you and that’s enough.”
I give Lilah back her phone and lay my head on the kitchen island. “Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Alright. Give me some time to think. I’ll text you a list of shit I need later.”
The women get up and give me a hug before leaving. I have a lot of things to plan and need to get to work.

EVERYBODY IS AT THEclubhouse celebrating Zane’s patch in ceremony. We’re having a big barbecue to celebrate. Even Joker and some of his men have stopped in.
Striker took Joker’s suggestion and gave Zane the road name, Rooster. Since he’s always up at the crack of dawn, it’s fitting.
Bambi smiles the entire time, despite it getting darker out. She seems oblivious to the time, and I’m so happy. I have her wrapped in my arms when Joker comes by.
“Mi princesa!” He opens his arms and Bambi flies into them. “You look so happy. That smile just lights up my heart. Is thisculotaking care of you?”
She just laughs and comes back to rest under my arm. “Of course. He has been amazing, Joker. I wouldn’t have gotten this far without him. I mean, look at me! I’m out at nighttime!”
