Where I Belong - R.V.Elliott

Chapter 46 

If there was ever a time I was missing Blaze now was it. Waking up early was part of my routine and like back home these guys liked to sleep the clock round but there was always one. Standing as close to the bar as I could I felt the bile rise in my throat at the way he was looking at me. I didn't expect anyone to be up which is why I was standing in those tiny booty shorts and a crop top. 

"Don't let me stop you darlin'." 

Grinning at me I plastered a fake smile onto my face but couldn't move. As much as I wanted to run back the way I came I couldn't. Swallowing the lump in my throat I watched his every movement. Blaze didn't trust him, bad blood between them and for some reason I didn't like him. He gave me a bad feeling in the bottom of my stomach. Just as I turned about to leave his words stopped me. 

"You don't look the type to be a play thing sweetheart" 

"Excuse me?" I frowned 

"Did I stutter?" He asked taking a few steps in my direction. Okay now I definitely didn't like him. "That fucker always gets the sweet ones before he corrupts them. Eve was just like you before that bastard stuck his claws in". 

"What are you talking about?" I asked. 

Watching the smirk take over his face before he fell in to a fit of laugher I grit my teeth together in anger. Was he playing with me? 

"Oh this is to good" he chuckled taking another few steps towards me. "Blaze has a wife sweetheart and if I were you I'd get out before he does what he done to her to you". 

Feeling the air leave my lungs I tried to stop the shock from showing. Blaze was married? Masking my emotions I crossed my arms over my chest. How could no one have told me this? I fucking slept with him, heck I lost my virginity to a lying bastard. On the other hand there was always two sides to every story. Yes I was angry at myself for being so stupid and giving in to him but it's not as if we were in a relationship now, we've never been in a relationship at all. 

"You'll only get hurt darlin'." 

Deciding that I had heard enough I about turned and walked away not stopping until I found the kitchen. 

Bringing the coffee cup to my lips I jumped out of my skin when a hand was placed on my shoulder. Turning my head I relaxed when I saw it was the girl from last night. 

"Didn't me to scare you toots, you seemed lost in your thoughts. Refill?" She asked nodding towards my cup. "I'm Lexi by the way". 

"Erm..yeah please" I said holding out my cup. Considering she was the girl that hit on me I thought it would have been awkward. 

"So your Franko's daughter?" She asked taking a seat on the stool next to me. I wasn't in the mood for chatting. My mind was still wrapped up in thoughts about Blaze having a wife but I was going to be stuck here for a few days and it sure as hell would be nice to have a friend. 

"The one and only" I grinned placing my mug in front of me." How long have you been here?" I asked trying to make conversation. 

"Far too long but I wouldn't have it any other way. These guys are my family and if it wasn't for them I'd probably be dead. Before you ask or jump to conclusions I work 

in the bar and that's it". 

Frowning I picked my cup back up "I wasn't going to ask-.." 

"Maybe you weren't but you were thinking it. I'm not a club girl or whore whatever you prefer" she said cutting me off. 

"I wasn't thinking that but I'm glad you cleared that up". 

Boy this was turning awkward fast. 

"Good now how bout you tell me what's going on with you and that hunk in the bedroom? You his old lady?" She asked a sly grin forming on her face. 

"We're just friends" I replied honestly. 

Chuckling she placed her hand over mine "Blaze doesn't do friends especially not with girls. Have you fucked?" Feeling my face heat at her words I sunk my teeth into 

my bottom lip. "You totally have" she squealed like it was a big deal. 

"Of course she has I mean look at her" 

Watching a girl I had yet to meet saunter into the kitchen I felt my eyebrows crease. Pouring some coffee into a mug I watched a she took the seat a cross from me. 

"I'm Chantelle, Coopers old lady" She smiled holding her hand out for me to shake which I gladly took. "By my earlier comment I meant it in a good way. He'd be silly to let a hot little thing like you get away". 

"We're just friends" I repeated "I'm here as a job nothing else" I shrugged hoping they would drop the subject. 

"With benefits?" 

"No Lexi strictly friends" I sighed rolling my eyes. 

"So he's fair game?" 

"Fuck off Amy! You know you're not suppose to be in here" Lexi growled causing the girl to grin. Who was she? 

"No ones around Lexi and the guys are still sleeping. No one will know that I'm here". 

"Why isn't she allowed in here?" I piped up 

"Because club whores are only allowed to be around when it's dark. Clearly this one thinks she's something special". 

"Really? They're only aloud to be around when it's dark?. I need to pitch that idea to Franko" I said mostly to myself. 

"Fuck off Lexi" the girl fired back folding her arms across her chest. "Wait did you say Franko?" She grinned 

"Amy don't even say what your thinking" Chantelle hissed grabbing a hold of the girls arm. "Don't you dare be disrespectful". 

"Why would I be disrespectful? I was only going to ask how he was doing. It's been a while since I last saw him" She grinned before shooting me a sweet smile. 

Feeling my eyes fall into slits I placed my palms flat on the table before getting to my feet. Getting over the fact that she had screwed my dad I crossed my arms over 

my chest. Not that it bothered me he was a biker after all I just hope to god it was before my mom came back, she'd have his balls for that. 

"How come she's allowed to be in here? It's not dark" Amy frowned before she glared at me. What was she going on about now? Picking up my cup I walked to the sink so I could rinse it. 

"Amy" Chantelle hissed 

"She's not a club girl Amy and I'd watch how you speak to her" Lexi growled balling her hands into fists. 

Wait! She thought I was a club girl? Putting the cup onto the draining board I turned catching her looking over my outfit. I now know why she thought that and I was so going to kick the shit out of Blaze. 

"Well she's definitely not an old lady" She huffed beginning to get on my nerves. "No she's more important now get out of here before I beat your ass" Lexi growled taking off her zipper and giving it to me. Thanking her with my eyes I slipped it on and zipped it up. 

"No if she gets to stay then so do I" She smirked as Charlotte grabbed her upper arm tightly. "I told you not to be disrespectful. Do you have any idea who Ava is?" She 

asked her. 

"You're hurting me" She cried pushing on Charlottes arm for her to let her go. "Serves you right. You need to remember your place here Amy and apologise to Ava before you leave". Rubbing on her arm she glared right at me "I'm not apologising to someone that is the same as me". With that said she turned on her heel before storming out of the kitchen. 

"Well that was entertaining" I laughed 

"Girl pisses me off. I have no idea why Marko keeps her around"Chantelle sighed clasping her cup in both hands. Probably the same reason my dad keeps them around. "Easy lay" I grinned as both girls began to laugh. 

"We're going out tonight. Would you like to come?" Lexi asked typing away on her phone. Would Blaze let me? Mentally slapping myself for even thinking that I smiled "Yeah I would like that but I don't think Blaze packed any going out clothes". I frowned. 

"You can borrow something of..wait Blaze packed your clothes?" She asked just as the man himself walked into the kitchen..shirtless. 

"Morning ladies. I hope your making my girl feel welcome" He grinned wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me to him. What the..gasping at the feel of his erection digging into my lower back I pushed him off giving him a glare. What was he playing at? Glancing at the girls I sunk my teeth into my bottom lip at the looks they were both sending me. Before I knew it I was back against his chest his head buried against my neck. "Didn't think to put on clothes before you came in here?" He growled my face heating up at the way he was acting. Why was he acting like this? "Get dressed we've got places to be" he smirked slapping my ass before leaving the kitchen. 

"Yeah you're definitely not his old lady" Chantelle chuckled. 

"No" 

"Yes" 

"I said no and that's the end of it". 

"I didn't ask for your permission Blaze and I sure as hell don't need it" I snapped refusing to get on his bike. He decided to take me to breakfast before he had to meet Marko back at the clubhouse. I decided to tell him that I planned on going out tonight and he was having none of it. 

"Get on the damn bike you're making a scene" He growled my eyes roaming about the car park of the diner. So we had an audience I didn't give a shit. He couldn't tell me what to do. Placing my hands on my hips I glared at him. "What the hell am I meant to do all night? You'll be busy and I sure as hell ain't sitting in that room all night on my own". 

"I don't have time for this shit. Marko is expecting me in church and I have to check in with your old man so please" He grit out holding out my helmet "Get on the fucking bike". 

Church? 

"Church? You go to church?" I asked 

"That's all you got out of what I just said?" Sighing he rubbed the back of his neck "I'll explain later. Now please, bike" He huffed pushing the helmet against my chest. 

"Fine but... 

"Everything alright out here?" 

"Everything's fine now piss of back inside" Blaze snapped obviously getting more annoyed. 

Chewing my lip I watched the middle age man take a step forward. Oh god! Why couldn't I have just got on the back of his bike. 

"Paul, Ralph" The guy shouted causing another two men to join him. "I think the little lady's having some trouble". 

What little lady...! Oh 

"Trust me there's no trouble here" I smiled about to walk to Blaze when he grabbed my wrist. "You don't have to be afraid sweetheart". 

"Your the one that should be afraid" I whispered but not quiet enough. Pulling my wrist out of his grip I was pushed slightly as Blaze crashed his fist into the guys face. 

Everything after that happened so quickly.! 

"Let me at least get you some ice" I whispered as he pushed the clubhouse door open. 

"Go to that room and fucking stay there. I mean it Ava if you're not in there when I come back your going home" He snapped before slamming the engraved wooden 

door behind him. 

"What did you do?" Jumping slightly I placed a hand over my heart before turning to face Lexi. "What I always do" I sighed. One of the fuckers got in a sly shot giving Blaze a busted lip and a swollen jaw. 

"Can't be that bad" She whispered handing me a cold beer. Refusing I shrugged my shoulders "Three guys attacked us because they thought Blaze was hurting me" Rolling my eyes I grabbed the beer back of her and took a mouthful. 

"They attacked him? No one messes with a brother and gets-... 

"He wasn't wearing his cut" I sighed placing the bottle against my bruised knuckles. "Ava your bleeding" She gasped moving my hand so she could get a better look. 

"Yeah I sucker punched one of those idiots. Why do people have to get involved in other peoples business?" 

"Sticking up for your man I see" 

When did Chantelle join us? 

"No" I glared rubbing my fingers tips over the bruise that was taking over my hand. "I shouldn't have done anything and I bet he's more pissed off that I hurt myself". 

Not that Blaze needed my help he had those men doubled over before I could blink but I knew he'd probably ignore me the rest of the day because I hurt his pride. Men like Blaze didn't like being helped. 

"It's not a bad thing Ava and it shows him you can take care of yourself. Our men always protect what is there's" Chantelle said handing me a some ice wrapped in a dishcloth. "Yeah his pride and ego will hurt for a few hours but he'll come to his senses and realise you did it on instinct. I would have done the same if it was Cooper". 

"That's the difference though I'm not his old lady. I'm here because my dad thinks I need a babysitter" Holding the dishcloth I winced at the pressure of it against my 

swollen knuckles. 

"Are the guys still in church?" 

"And your still here because?" Lexi groaned as Amy walked towards the fridge. I'm guessing she wasn't one for listening or Marko was fucking her. It's the only way she'd get away with not doing as she's told. 

"I told you if she stays then so do I" She said giving me a fake smile. 

"I can see my other knuckles becoming bruised" I muttered under my breath. I must give of the whore vibe. Hearing the girls snigger I tried to hold back my smile. I didn't need to give this girl anymore ammo to fire back with something horrible to say about me. 

"Didn't I hear Blaze tell you to go to your room and stay there like a good little girl?" Folding her arms over her chest she smirked at me. 

Yeah I could defiantly see me leaving here with a broken hand. 

"You better-.."
