We roll our eyes in unison.
Dumb bitch.
She does that shit on purpose. Calls Sofie, Sonja and Harlow, Harriet. She knows their fucking names but acts like she doesn’t, and I haven’t figured out her game yet, but I know Lola is running one.
“You haven’t seen Spider around, have you? I can’t find him anywhere.”
My eye flicks to the opposite side of the rec room and lands on Spider, the dude loud as fuck as he and Jackal take on Brick and Pope in a game of pool.
Seriously?
“Haven’t seen him,” Prez smirks.
“Nope.” Marbles shakes his head. “Probably out back taking a shit in the woods.”
“Huh.” Lola sticks out her lower lip. “Guess I’ll just sit and wait with you then.”
Before I can eject myself from the couch, Lola plops down between me and Marbles, wiggling herself around in the minuscule space between us while still half sitting on my lap.
Shit.
This is wrong for so many reasons.
The biggest one being directly across from me, amber eyes laser focused on the couch and narrowed to slits. Theo looks fucking sober as hell and even more pissed than I’ve ever seen, and if I wasn’t worried she might take it out on me, I’d be so goddamn turned on by that we’d have to leave right now.
“The fuck are you doing?” Marbles tries to shove Lola off of us without hurting her. “You lost your damn mind?”
She shrugs and stares back at my girl with an evil glint in her eye. “I’m just waiting for Spider.”
“Like hell you are. He’s over there, you stupid bitch.” Marbles manages to get himself off the couch, unintentionally dumping Lola completely into my lap and before I can drop her on the floor, a tornado hits.
“Who the hell do you think you are?” Theo basically growls as she comes marching toward us, Sofie and Harlow just as pissed, flanking my girl and already claiming her as theirs.
Lola looks up with a fake smile. “Excuse me?”
“You heard me.” She parks her hands on her hips. “Who the hell do you think you are?”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
Blondie rolls her eyes fucking hard. “Right. Let me break it down for you then.”Oh shit, here we go.“Not only have you been talking all kinds of shit about me to Brick’s whatever she is, but I overheard everything you said about sleeping your way through the Executive Committee.”
At that, Prez and I practically jump off the couch while Marbles slowly backs away.
“I haven’t—“ Lola gets to her feet but Theo gets in her face.
“You haven’tyet, but you’re trying to. I didn’t hear everything, but I heard enough to know that you only started sleeping with that sweetheart Spider in order to weasel your way into the inner circle. I know you’ve got some kind of plan to bang your way through the most important members of the club, and I know you have it especially bad for my man because I heard you call me everything but a woman and claim that I’m not good enough to handle someone like Cy.”
Thank fuck my girl remembered to call me that.
Even in her drunken pissed off glory, Theo still remembered to call me Cy and not my real name in front of anyone outside the EC. No one knows who I really am but them, and I’d like to keep it that way.
Lola crosses her arms against her chest and challenges Blondie. “You have no proof. Who’s gonna believe that bullshit?”
“I will,” Prez, the awesome bastard he is, chimes in.
Theo flashes him a warm smile before she goes back to throwing daggers at Lola. “Even if I didn’t have anyone to believe my words, the fact that you just sat your nasty ass on the VP, who is fucking married, as well as the lead Enforcer, who is abso-fucking-lutely taken, proves that you not only have no boundaries or respect for other people, but it also proves you have zero respect for yourself.”
“Why you little—“
