goin tell you twice." Handing her a brain bucket, I try to steal a kiss, but she's not having it. She's goin to make me work for it, that's alright though, I enjoy a challenge. Reluctantly she gets on, and I do my finest to make sure she is comfortable before I pull out on the road with her. She wraps her arms around me and snuggles into the back of my cut, feels like home. Fuck, I have missed her touch, her smell, her everything.
Think this is the slowest I've ever driven. Traveling down these old country roads, corn husks are blowing through the fields and over the road, we call them corn snakes. Don't have the same effect when you are driving slow though. It's moments like this that I live for, being out on the open road, my woman riding with me. Even if she says she don't want to be with me, I know she feels at peace with me too. She just has this effect on me, everything feels right when she's with me.
"This would be such a pretty setting for a house." Foxie is walking along the tree line of the property with Red. She is right, a house would look good here with little red headed runts running through the grass. But that's not going to happen. Red don't want me, and my life...my life is at the Roadhouse.
My mother always said I would never amount to anything and never have anything. She was a true club whore, she lived and died by the Devils Rejects code. My mother was nothing but one of Hook's many whores. Never knew my father, never cared to know. But my child will have a better life, and I will give him or her everything I never had. If Red really wants out, if she really don't want to be with me, I'll get her out. Her and both of her children, even if that means I won't know my kid. It's probably for the best, not sure what I was thinking, imagining that I could have it all.
"The land is perfect brother, it sets enough out of the way that no one would notice it from the road." Slim helps me get the blankets and food from our bikes.
"Good, because I already put in an offer, should be able to sign the papers in a few days. I have already gotten the permits we will need, and talked with Blaze and Stone. They do a lot of side work for a contractor and said they would help with a lot of the work, said they could probably get us a discount."
Helping Red to the ground to sit on the blanket, she surprises me with a small kiss on the cheek. Maybe all hope for us isn't lost just yet. For the first time in weeks she opens up and actually has a conversation with me. "I have an ultrasound next week, if you want be there ."
"Wouldn't miss it for nothing." Taking a bite of my sandwich, I am afraid to say much else, afraid I'll fuck this up. Foxie saves me and ask Red how work is going. I don't much care for her working, but at least at the carryout I don't have to be as concerned about her safety, place has enough security you'd think it was Fort Knox.
There is so much I want to say to her but I just don't know how to find the words. The need to talk to her is ripping me up inside, everything I do is wrong. But tonight she is going to hear what I have to say even if I stick my foot in my mouth. She and I are going to settle this one way or the other tonight.
Slim lights up a joint, "Want to hit this shit before I go man," he tries to pass it to me.
"Nah brother, not when I am going to be driving Red home."
Slim and Foxie has to get back to their boys, so I decide to take advantage of having Red to myself, finally, while she is in a good and while we are where she has no choice but to talk to me.
"What do you want from me, Red? Want me to tell you that I need you—that I want you—that I can't sleep without you by my side. Because I do need you—I want you—any way I can have you. Just say the word. Or do you want out, because if you do, I'll make that happen too, I don't want to live without you, but I will if it's what you want. I'm not a begging man, but here I am begging you, please come back
