I sawher as soon as she walked in and this was due to more than the fact that I watch my surroundings. That was part of being in the club. No. This was more due to me wanting her around me and just knowing when she was near. I didn’t make it obvious though so it was likely she didn’t know I saw her.
But I really wanted to know how the fuck she’d split her lip open.
Deep down, I probably knew the answer and I didn’t fuckin’ like it. The way that club treated their women disgusted me. If I could’ve done something about it, I would have. But I couldn’t and that fuckin’ sucked.
Fuck. I wanted to go over there, but that would’ve been stupid.
The woman she was with, I’d never seen before. Must’ve been her best friend, Diana, whom she’d told me about. Her having at least one decent person in her life made me feel marginally better.
A woman like Trinity should’ve been surrounded by decent people. Unfortunately, I sure as fuck wasn’t one of them.
“Who are you looking at?” Alex asked as he glanced around the bar to figure it out.
That meant I had to immediately avert my eyes. He couldn’t know it was Trinity I’d been staring at.
“No one.”
“It wasn’t me,” said the woman who’d sat down with us.
Fuck. I didn’t remember her name, though I was pretty sure she’d said it.
“So I was saying—” She tried to continue, but I cut her off.
“Not tonight, sweetheart,” I told her.
Her face scrunched up. We’d all known where this night had been headed for her and me, but Trinity showing up had made the idea of fucking some random woman hit a detour.
Trinity and I weren’t together. That had been made clear early on, but I still wasn’t going to flaunt what I did when I wasn’t with her in her face. She got enough disrespecting shit from the Skulls. I wasn’t going to be another source of that.
Not to her face, anyway.
The woman beside me’s mouth opened then closed before she sighed and slid out of the booth. I was sure she wanted to give me a piece of her mind but thought better of it. Probably a good thing. Spouting off wasn’t going to help her situation.
“Why the fuck was that?” Caleb asked and it was like I’d forgotten those fuckers were still there.
“Not in the mood.”
Alex snorted. “You’re always in the mood.”
“Not tonight.”
Trinity let out a laugh that I felt all the way up my spine. It was like she’d done it on purpose, but that wasn’t possible. She wouldn’t chance doing something that would bring me to her.
“What gives?” he pushed. “I assumed when you got us to come here that it was with the intention of hooking up.”
“Yeah,” Caleb added. “Like club pussy wasn’t good enough for you tonight.”
I shook my head. “The three of us hadn’t hung out in a while, that’s all. Swear on my bike that there wasn’t any other reason.” But I couldn’t stop myself from glancing Trinity’s way again.
“Who the fuck do you keep looking at?” Caleb pushed off the booth seat so that he could see over Alex.
“No one.”
“Fuck off. There’s no way it’s no one.” But then he sat back down and when Alex looked at him, he shrugged.
I didn’t think Caleb had ever seen Trinity, so to him, she was just a face in the crowd. Nothing to raise suspicion.
