Hulk Chapter 12
Our night with the club was here. We had dinner at the house.
Celeste and Capri insisted on cooking, and this time we asked Twisted and his family to join us.
They accepted, and we had a wonderful dinner.
Twisted and I kept Ransom entertained while Arif helped and checked out my bike.
He’d seen it before, of course, but he was growing a greater interest in them.
Twisted told me that when Arif got his license in two years, he’d want to get his motorcycle endorsement.
Of course, Zari was worried to death. Twisted had agreed to teach him, but he wouldn’t be allowed to get his endorsement until he was eighteen.
That way, he could have plenty of time to learn while riding around the compound.
I thought it was a good idea. Arif had reluctantly agreed.
After dinner, we all headed over to the clubhouse.
It was seven thirty, and most of the gang was there.
I didn’t get to make a big official announcement because as soon as we entered, my brothers and the ladies descended on us, offering congratulations, hugs, handshakes, and kisses on the cheek.
I wasn’t too upset. It was wonderful to see them all accepting of her.
I thanked each of my brothers personally for voting for her.
And they didn’t forget to welcome Capri to the family.
It was now nine o’clock, and I’d been asked to play a game of pool against Nitro. Pyro wanted us to play in pairs. I was wondering who to ask when Celeste approached me. She’d been sitting with the ladies.
“You need a partner?” she asked.
“I do. You wanna play?” I asked.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve done it. I’m rusty. It might not be fair,” she replied.
“It’s all in fun,” I told her.
“Yeah, come on, show us what you’ve got,” Pyro urged.
“If we win, will you cry?” she teased.
“We’re manly men, we don’t cry. But will you be able not to cry when you lose?” Nitro taunted.
“I guess we’ll see. I’m game if you are to make them eat their words,” Celeste told me.
“Rack ‘em, boys. My old lady wants to show you what she’s got,” I told them.
It was Nitro who did the honors. Once the balls were snug together, he removed the rack and stepped back. “Ladies first, unless you’d rather have one of us break,” he said to her.
“First, are we doing a single game or best out of three?” Celeste asked.
“To be fair, I say best out of three. That way, you can warm up. Sound good?” Pyro asked. The other three of us agreed.
“Then I say let one of you break this first round. " As I said, it’s been a while,” she said sweetly.
There was nothing in her tone or expression that made me think she was messing with them. However, in my gut, I had to wonder. Was she suckering those two into believing she wasn’t a threat? I leaned over her shoulder as Nitro broke the balls.
“Are you suckering them?” I whispered.
Her eyes twinkled as she turned her head to smile at me. Her lips brushed mine. “Wait and see.”
I had to hold back my chuckle. I refused to give anything away. These games should be fun.
