Chapter 32
Kim is a 24-year-old beautician. She lives with Sam who is one of her best friends from elementary school. Her other best friend is Raine who is married to the President of the Hell’s Veterans MC club.
Kim, Sam, and Raine grew up together. After Kim finished beauty school, she moved in with Sam and Raine. Sam is a nurse at the local hospital.
The girls moved away from their hometown after college. They lived together until Raine moved in with Jax. Kim met Ice who is the Vice President of the club when they were invited to the bar.
All of the times that she would go to the clubhouse or bar, she would sit with Ice and they’d talk. Kim would flirt with Ice all the time, but so far, it’s not went any farther.
Kim is very attracted to Ice and she wanted it to go farther. However, she’s unsure if he does. Or not sure what’s holding him back.
THROWBACK TO A CLUB PARTY
The party at the clubhouse was in full swing. Kim walked in and saw Ice at the bar. After saying her hello to Raine who’s occupied with Jax, she headed to the bar.
She walked up beside him and sat on the bar stool beside Ice.
“Hello handsome. I see you’re drinking alone again.” Kim smiled.
“Hey Red! Wondered when you’d get here. And you know that’s how I like it, drinking alone. No bs or drama to put up with.” Ice replied.
“Oh. Ok. Well, I can leave then since you’d rather be alone.” Kim replied standing up.
“Nah, sit back down. Your company I can tolerate. You aren’t drama.” Ice replied.
“Ok. So, what shall we talk about tonight?” Kim asked.
“I believe you were going to tell me about your grandma on your dad’s side of the family.” Ice reminded her.
“Ah yes I remember now. We’ll see Nanna was stubborn. She didn’t want to leave her home. She was also very independent. Dad said she was a feisty one back in her day.” Kim explained.
“Sounds familiar.” Ice laughed.
“Hey! I’m sweet and kind!” Kim huffed.
“Uh huh. Go on, you were saying?” Ice urged.
“Dad said I should have been named after her. He said I am the spitting image of her when she was younger. But I’m a softer version.” Kim replied.
“So? What happened?” Ice asked.
“Some local boys broke into her home and robbed her. They beat her up pretty bad. It scared my dad since she was so far away with no help. My dad flew to her and packed her up and brought her back to live with us.” Kim replied.
“I see. And how well did that go over?” Ice asked.
“Not well at all. But eventually she settled in with our family. And I’ve enjoyed having her around. I love to talk to her and hear about her life and country. It’s fascinating to me.” Kim smiled.
“I don’t get to spend much time with her anymore, since I’m working. I really miss it.” Kim sighed.
“She sounds like an amazing woman.” Ice replied.
“She is.” Kim agreed. “You’d like her.”
They talked for a while. When Kim got ready to leave Ice walked her to her car. They said good night and she left.
PRESENT DAY
Kim took a date to the bar. Vixen had told her to get a guy to admit he liked her, especially a biker, you should make him jealous. Show him someone else is interested as bikers are territorial.
So, she suggested Kim bring a date to the bar to shake things up with Ice. Brad is Kim’s date.
“So, tell me again why you wanted me to bring you to some biker bar?” He asked.
“Because one of my best friends owns it and I hardly get to see her anymore. Plus, she invited us on a double date. You got something against bikers?” Kim asked.
“Ah no.” Brad replied.
“The food here is really good too. Raine hired an awesomely talented chef, and his pot roast sandwich is to die for!” Kim smiled.
“Oh wow. I do love pot roast.” Brad replied.
As soon as they walked in Raine spotted them and walked over to them.
“Kim!” Raine waved.
“Raine!” Kim replied. “It’s been too long!”
“I agree. Way too long!” Raine agreed as they sat down.
“Raine, Jax, this is my date, Brad.” Kim introduced.
Jax laughed and Raine punched him. “Sorry about that. I saw something funny behind you. Good to meet a friend of Kim’s.” Jax replied.
“No worries, man. Nice to meet you too.” Brad replied.
They sat and talked until their food arrived. After they ate, the girls excused themselves to go to the bathroom.
“Someone has been staring holes in someone all night!” Raine grinned.
“So, do you think it’s working?” Kim asked.
“I think so. I’d guess his jealousy level right now is about 5 on a scale of 1 to 10.” Raine confirmed.
“Ok. We’re ready for phase two then, right?” Kim asked.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yep. Phase two, we dance! If you can get Brad to that is. I swear Kim really? He’s such a, suit!” Raine replied.
The girls returned back to the table with the guys and talked them into dancing. Brad was a pretty good dancer and held Kim close. After a few dances, Ice got up and left the bar.
They all sat down at their table. Brad got a call from the hospital. There’s an emergency surgery and he needed to leave.
“Brad, it’s totally fine. Your job is very important. You need to go. I completely understand.” Kim replied.
“And don’t worry. We’ll give her a ride home.” Raine chimed in.
“Ooh can I drive?” Kim asked.
“Maybe.” Raine grinned.
“No!” Jax replied.
Brad leaned down and kissed Kim on the cheek.
“If you’re sure? I promise that I’ll make it up to you. I’ll call you.” Brad replied.
Kim nodded and he hurried out. After Brad left, Kim sighed with relief. Jax chuckled. Kim gave him the stink eye.
“And why not? Jax I’m a good driver! I bought my car used like it is. I’ve never wrecked!” Kim huffed.
Jax just eyed her not responding.
“Y’all could even sit in the back seat and make out like teenagers.” Kim laughed.
“Maybe.” Jax grunted.
“Brad? Really?” He laughed.
“Oh, shut up!” Kim retorted.
