Chapter Seventeen Dragon
I am fucking pissed, so fucking pissed. How do you go from complete bliss to pissed off in less than an hour?
Liza. That’s fucking how. The woman does everything to push my fucking buttons.
Telling me that what happened in that shower was a fucking mistake.
She’s deluding herself. Then to tell me she’s going to take the damn morning after pill, that just pisses me the fuck off.
If a baby comes from what happened that is even better, I’m probably gonna tie her ass to the bed until she sees fucking reason.
At this point I’m fucking pacing in the living room, I put Jaxon to bed in his nursery and have the monitors for the boys’ bedroom sitting on the coffee table.
I feel like I’m going to come out of my skin and I need to get the fuck out, but I know I’m on kid duty.
Liza does deserve to have time for herself every once and awhile, so I’ll give that to her.
It didn’t take long after she went outside to wait for Rose to come.
Once I heard the door open again I knew she was here and Liza took her downstairs.
I used to be close to Rose too because of everything and the fact that we all met at the same time, but I know she definitely believes that I knew all about Rage still hooking up with other girls while he was hooking up with her.
So she cut me out when she found that out.
She gave me a ton of grace after everything that happened with Liza and continued to be my friend up until a four months ago when she found out she was pregnant and found out that Rage was fucking around.
Rage claims they were never in a relationship, that really is not for me to fucking decide. So here I am shut out of both those girls’ lives because of my and my stupid ass brother’s choices.
I go to sit down on the couch and turn the tv on when there is a knock at the door, now it’s fucking ten o’clock at night an I’m not expecting anyone. So I pull up the security feed on my phone.
“Fuck. Should’ve seen this shit coming.”
I get up and walk towards the door. Swinging it open I come face to face with the brother in question.
“What the fuck are you doing here?”
He looks up at me, “Rose here?”
I sigh and rub my hand down my face, “Yeah, who the hell told you she was here?”
“The better question brother is why the fuck didn’t you? I’ve been trying to fucking talk to her now for months. You knew this. So if you knew she was gonna be at your damn house why didn’t you say anything.”
“Look, I’m on thin ice already with my woman. I can’t be sitting here giving you tips and breaking trust when I need to fucking get shit with my woman under control. I didn’t know Rose was going to be here until about an hour ago. I think Liza wanted her friend and also I think Rose needs hers.
The shit with you guys is so fucked up.”
He pushes through the door before I can stop him and heads for the living room putting his hand through his hair. He sits down on the couch and leans forward folding his hands before he looks up at me.
“I know you have your own shit and I appreciate that. I’m lost here, brother. I fucked up. I know that I never made her any promises, but I also never shit with her was different, I just didn’t fucking want to admit it. I mean fuck man, I’m messed the fuck up.
I never wanted anything serious with anyone and after that first time with her I couldn’t let her the fuck go even though I should’ve. Now I’ve got at least one kid and another on the way and Rose won’t even talk to me. I can’t go to doctor's appointments. I can’t even see her half the time.
The last time I saw her in person was at the hospital after Liza had Jaxon. She was barely showing then and my heart fucking ached for her man. I just want to talk to her.”
I sigh and sit down next to him, “Listen, I know you want to talk to her, but brother you are worse off than I was. You actually did fuck with other women while you were fucking her. Sure you didn’t make any promises, but you didn’t tell her either.
This shit you just found out about having another kid and another on the way is a lot to deal with. Plus all the shit with Whip. Your family is completely changing and I really think that you just need to give her the space she deserves right now. Focus on the kid you’ve got right now,
stay informed with Rose’s pregnancy and be there when she’s ready to talk.”
Before he can say anything I hear my front door open and shut followed by what sounds like an angry person stomping into the living room. We both look up and meet a very angry Peyton.
“You assholes are so fucking stupid. For one, what the hell is Rage doing here right now Cane? Rose doesn’t want to see him, you fucking know this you asshole. Why would you let him in? Second, I’m embarrassed that you are my brother.
Kick this stupid idiot out here and then you go to your room with the baby monitors and let us girls bitch about how stupid men are. Now go.”
I stand up and walk over to my baby sister.
“First off little sister, this is my home you just stormed in here making demands in. I’m not going fucking anywhere. I can sit in the living room and watch tv while you all bitch about men. Even though I don’t know what you have to bitch about, your life seems pretty damn perfect right now.”
She rolled her eyes with that. “Second, Rage let himself in, I just didn't feel like telling him to leave, I’m trying to help a brother out. Give him some advice and shit.”
Peyton starts laughing and it’s one of those laughs that scare the shit out of a normal person.
“You? Giving him advice? Oh my gosh! My stomach hurts, that's so funny! I can’t believe you think you should give anyone advice about women. You’re just as fucking dumb as he is.”
I look at her and honestly if she wasn’t a woman and my sister we'd be fighting this shit out in the ring.
“Honestly, Cane, you are no better than he is. I mean you may not have fucked anybody else, but you were Liza’s safe space. Even if she didn’t open up to you about her past, she thought you guys had something special that could withstand everything and you fucked that up because you were scared.
I swear none of my brothers learned anything from watching dad with mama. You don’t push away people to protect them, you hold them close you dipshit. Dad was the gold medal and you all are like dirty pennies on the ground. How you guys came from him is a mystery to me.”
With that she turned around and headed towards the basement where Rose and Liza were hiding. I know that as long as we are out here they won’t be making an appearance again tonight.
“I wonder if her men know she’s here causing trouble.”
I scoffed at Rage, “Of course they know where she is. They are so far up her ass she’d never be able to hide from them. I think Whip was staying at the clubhouse tonight, so I’m assuming she brought the kids here to stay with him so that she could spend time with the women.”
“Yeah, it’s really late though, wonder what positions she had to do to get Fang and Whip to agree to have time away from her for the night.”
I shoot him a glare because what the fuck, I don’t want to hear that shit about my sister. He starts chuckling and gets up from my couch walking towards the front door.
“Thanks for the talk man, I’ll see you tomorrow at church. Keep an eye on her for me, yeah?”
I nod my head and follow behind him and lock the door.
Arming the security system after he leaves, I contemplate going down there and seeing how late these ladies plan on being here, but I feel like after the shit that happened between Liza and I earlier I need to let her have some time to think about everything with her girls.
