*Lily*

"LILY CAMILA ROSE," Tommy yelled running into my office and I jerked my head up staring wide eyed at the man in a neon pink shirt and leather pants. "You are in so much trouble young lady."

"Oh no," I whispered standing up when he made his way towards me. "Tommy calm down."

"Girl," he yelled. "I'm gonna kick you little butt for bailing on me."

"I can explain," I said slowly before he let out a tarzan yell and I yelped before running to the front of my office seeing David laughing. "Help."

"Nope," he laughed and I growled barely dodging Tommy and I ran out of the office and down the sidewalk before hiding in the tattoo parlor.

"Can I help you?" I turned and saw one of Cade's friends looking at me.

"Get back here you brat!" I heard Tommy yell and I jumped.

"Hide me," I said quickly. "My friend is going to kill me for bailing on him and I am not ready to die."

"You can hide in the back," he chuckled and I gave him a relieved smile hurrying to the back. Standing against the curtain I listened to see if Tommy came in.

"Lily, what are you doing?" Jumping I turned on my heel to see Cade sitting on a chair and another man giving him a tattoo.

"Hiding," I mumbled biting my lip. "My psycho friend is trying to kill me because I bailed on him."

"Lily!"

"Shoot," I yelped backing up tripping and landed on Cade's lap.

"Careful," he chuckled wrapping an arm around me. "I've got you."

My breath hitched when I felt his lips on my ear and I jumped when the other guy started working on the tattoo again.

"Why is your friend trying to kill you?" the other guy asked.

"I bailed on his birthday party," I said watching him outline a tattoo.

"You don't like parties?" the guy asked looking at me for a second.

"Not really," I shrugged. "I'd rather stay home then go somewhere and get around drunk people or me get drunk."

"Then your obviously hanging out with the wrong type of people," he chuckled. "We pretty much do that every other day."

I hummed looking around noticing an open sketch book with a few lines drawn on it, reaching over I picked it up flipping through some of the finished pictures.

"May I?" I asked holding the book up and the guy nodded, smiling I started to sketch using the lines that were already there.

"Done," the guy said as I finished shading in the image I was drawing. "I'll finish it up next week."

"Thanks," Cade said and I stood up laying the sketch book down. "When do you want me to come back next week?"

"Thursday around noon," the guy said. "I'm booked until then."

"Catch you later then," Cade said placing a hand on my back softly pushing my in front of him. "Trigger, how much do I owe you?"

"Thirty-five even," the in the front said. "Was wondering were you disappeared too, your friend left about thirty minutes ago."

"Thanks for letting me hide," I smiled.

"Not a problem," he chuckled.

"Hey," jumping I turned to look at the other guy and he rushed up to us. "Where did you learn to draw like this?"

"My mom," I said confused. "Why?"

"This is really amazing," he said showing them my drawing and Cade chuckled while Trigger whistled. "I've never seen anyone who could this good."



"Is that a good thing?" I asked confused.

"Yes," Cade smiled. "Later guys."

"Later Cowboy," they yelled as Cade pulled me out of the shop.

"You hungry?" Cade asked and before I could answer my stomach growled loudly, he laughed and I felt my cheeks get warm. "Come on, I'll buy you some lunch."

"You don't have to," I mumbled walking beside him. "You've already done a lot for me."

"I don't mind," he smiled slinging an arm around my shoulders. "I enjoy spending time with you. Something I haven't had or done in a long time."

"You don't like hanging out with your friends?" I asked confused.

"Believe it or not but I'm more of a loner," he said and I smiled squeezing his hand before entering the diner. ---

"Can you even trust this guy?" Tommy asked laying on my bed,"I mean he's a biker."

"I trust him," I said going through my closet looking for an outfit. "He's been really nice time and when I was broken into he cleaned the mess up. Besides he's really sweet and doesn't really push me to talk."

"You aren't scared of him?" He asked typing on his phone when it dinged.

"At first I was but then I got to know him and I feel safe with him," I said laying my outfit across the foot of my bed. "Now if you would mind getting out I need a shower and to get ready for the concert."

"Okay babe," he sassed walking into the hall. "He gets here I'm giving him my best big brother threatening talk."

"IT'S NOT A DATE!" I yelled after him before slamming my door shut. "Idiot."

Sighing I walked I to my bathroom stripping out of my clothes and climbing in the shower. After drying off I put on some mascara, eyeliner and lip gloss before pulling my clothes on.

"Sorry," I said walking out on the porch. "I was running behind and got home an hour ago."

I looked up saw Cade staring at me confused I glanced down at my outfit to see if something was wrong with it.



"What?" I asked biting my lip, "Is my outfit that bad? I can go change really quick."

"No," Cade said clearing his throat. "It's perfect, your looking very beautiful tonight."

"Thanks," I smiled turning to Tommy and David. "I'll talk to you guys later."

"Have fun," Tommy yelled and I rolled my eyes. "Use protection."

"TOMMY STOP IT!" I yelled over my shoulder while blushing and Cade chuckled helping me into the truck. When he got in the driver's seat I took in his outfit.



"Like what you see," he laughed glancing at me.

"Meh," I giggled. "No vest tonight?"

"No," he smiled. "Left it at the compound so Mama Wolf could fix it."

"Oh," I nodded looking at my phone.

"What concert are we going to listen too?" Cade asked after a while.

"Celtic Woman," I said. "My mom used to listen to then while she worked and I love most of there songs so Tommy and David got me tickets for this one show."

"Never heard of them," he said and I giggled.

"I figured," I smiled. "Thanks for coming with me, I really didn't want to come alone."

"I'm glad you asked," he said as he tried to find a parking spot.
