Chapter Eighteen Liza
Rose and I were in the basement talking when we heard stomping coming down the stairs along with grumbling. We look up and sure enough we see Peyton coming down here.
“Men are so damn stupid I swear. It’s like you have to spell everything out for them and even then some of them might just be too dumb to comprehend even that.”
I giggled and Rose looked at her with a sarcastic look then said, “What do you have to complain about you have two men who are fucking obsessed with you at home. They are basically so far up your ass I wonder if you keep their balls in your purse.”
“You know what I have to complain about, these men think they can tell me what to do all the damn time even when it comes to my own body. I swear all the alpha male bullshit is fun when you read it in romance novels,
but when you have to deal with all the idiotic shit in person it’s just not as romantic. I mean okay, I do get turned on when they are possessive and a little controlling. It’s like I have problems and shit.
But when they are trying to knock me up after being told that I want to wait til I finish school and am settled in my residency before we have anymore babies, you go a little crazy. I mean I had to go on birth control because I had a scare last month.
I mean fucking hell I’ve got three one year olds already. Whip has been trying his hardest to knock me up. So I decided I’d go on the pill. I may or may not have forgotten to tell them I did it. I mean I like all the sex it’s fucking amazing. The two of them are fucking amazing in bed,
together and a part. Knox found it before I left the Untamed clubhouse to come here. So he spent over an hour ‘punishing’ me.”
She said putting that part in quotations.
“I mean he can punish me all he wants, I like it. But then I got here and fucking Whip was waiting for me and he was pissed. So he then decided to show me how angry he was for another fucking hour and a half. I swear I’m so fucking sore. My ass is probably still red.
He tried to convince me to get off the pill so that he could put his babies in me, but that’s a no go right now. They are just going to have to deal with it.”
Rose is glaring at her by the time she is done talking and I’m fucking laughing so hard that my stomach hurts.
“Wow, Peyton. What a fucking problem to have. Two men are angry you’re keeping them from knocking you up. How awful you’re getting sex all the fucking time. You must be so sad.” Rose says so sarcastically that it makes me laugh even harder.
“WOW. Okay there Rose. No need to be snippy. What’s going on with you on the Rage front?”
“Nothing. That’s the way it’s going to stay. That asshole could fall down a fucking well and I’d be happy. I hate his stupid guts. He keeps trying to talk to me about shit not involving the baby and it’s like he can’t get it through his thick skull that we have nothing to talk about.
He’s a fucking bastard. He ruined me and all my trust in men. I mean shit, I knew he was a biker and yeah I guess he didn’t really tell me that we were exclusive. But the fucking asshole didn’t tell me that he was fucking other people while fucking me bare either. It’s disgusting.
The thought of being with him or any man again makes me sick. I know right now I’m pregnant, but I’m doing this on my own. I just wish he’d leave me alone.”
“Well you are having his baby, Rose. As much as you wish you weren’t. He’s going to be in your life for the rest of it.” I mumbled to my friend.
She looks at me and glares, “Yeah I know. But see I don’t have two little boys to guilt me into living with him. I know Walker and Waylon love him, but you could’ve said no Liza. Yet here you are shacked up with him.”
“Okay, you know what, I gave in for my boys. I wanted them to have two parents. Walker and Waylon spent over a year of their life with him. He’s the only father figure they know. Jaxon needs a father and if I have to ‘shack’ up with the asshole, I will. I want them to have a normal family.”
She scoffs at me, “Yeah and what happens when you find another man? Or when he finds another woman? You guys are all going to live together like some messed up family.”
Peyton chimes in before I get the chance, “Rose, I know you’re angry, but don’t take it out on Liza. She’s trying to do what she feels is right for her family. I know Cane and he’s not going to be finding another woman. He hasn’t been with anyone since before he met Liza.
I know all of this because I hear a lot and people like to gossip, not that I ask because that’s gross.”
I look over at Rose and she looks defeated and like she’s going to cry. I know those feelings and she’s pregnant and feels alone. I get that. She looks at me and gives a sad smile.
“I’m sorry. I’m just so angry.”
Peyton and I scoot closer to her and pull her in for a hug.
Rose is an angel, honestly she’s one of the sweetest girls I know.
She went out of her comfort zone when she met Rage and what she thought she had turned out to be a lie.
I know Rage has struggles and in fact I’ve seen the way he looked at her. He loves her, but he’s terrified too.
We sit like this for a few minutes before Peyton decides that we are going to snuggle up and watch movies while she raids Dragon’s fridge. When she goes upstairs I hold Rose’s hand.
“You know I’m always here for you. Even if I am living with the enemy. You are the person that I will be there for. So if you ever need me to kick a biker’s ass I will. I love you and you know you’re like a sister to me. Promise me you won’t shut people out, you’ll lean on me.”
“You’ve got a lot going on Liza, I don’t want to burden you.”
“You could never be a burden. I promise you.”
The rest of the night we spent cuddling up on the couch watching movies. I occasionally had to pump, but we had a girls night I felt like we all needed. I don’t know what time we fell asleep, but I woke up when I heard whispers and footsteps coming down the stairs.
“I’m going to take Peyton back to the clubhouse. I don’t like sleeping in bed without her.”
“Okay, just don’t get pissed at you for waking her up. It’s been quiet down there for over an hour now. They sounded like they wanted to start a men hating group.”
You hear a scoff and as I open my eyes I see Whip and Dragon make it down to the floor. The next thing I see is Whip walking over to the recliner that Peyton is sleeping on and he leans down kissing her on the forehead. I watch as Peyton stirs and looks up at Whip.
“What are you doing here?” She whispers.
“I came to get my woman, I want you in bed with me.”
She looks down at her phone, “It’s three o’clock in the morning, why are you still awake?”
“I was waiting for you, baby. Then I texted Dragon to see what was going on and he said it sounded like you guys were all finally passed out. I wanted to come get you so you could come sleep in our bed before we head home tomorrow after church.”
She nods her head and goes to stand, but Whip seems to be too quick for her where he bends down and lifts her in his arms bridal style.
He looks up and makes eye contact with me and as he goes to turn around he winks at me.
My eyes move over to Dragon and find him watching me.
The eye contact is so intense I end up looking away and look at Rose who’s head is on my shoulder.
“We are going to want to move her so she isn’t uncomfortable. How about I take her upstairs to your room?” Dragon asks.
I nod my head and he comes over and picks Rose up, bridal style. He then nods his head towards the stairs.
“Come on, baby. Let’s get you ladies to bed. I’ll keep the baby monitors tonight, so you can get your sleep.”
