Tally asked Resa if she’d ride in her vehicle with Ciara and asked Tabi if she could sit next to
me, so Tabi was upfront with the prospect and I moved into the back with Kimber, Tally and
Kong.
“What’s up?” I asked her. She looked so out of sorts.
“Demon confessed his feelings to me last night, he wants me to be his Old Lady when I get
back from tour.”
“That’s fantastic,” Tabi said. Kimber and I nodded and smiled. But she wasn’t smiling.
“What did you say?” Kimber asked.
“I didn’t say anything. I just cried, and then he nodded and left. I love him, I do. But how do I
know he truly feels the same? He’s ignored me for years, and I’ve stayed away as much as
possible. What if we aren’t compatible? What if we agree to be together, and we find that we
just don’t fit together, like I’ve always thought we would? I grew up knowing him, but as adults,
we don’t talk at all. And there’s this guy who started off as a super fan, and he’s written emails
to me every week for years. He’s really nice and sweet. He’s very good–looking. He sent me a picture two years ago. He’s blind. He said my music saved him and gave him life. In the four years we’ve written to each other, we’ve become really good friends.”
“How does he read your emails?”
“He has this voice to text and vice versa, program. Normally I have my PA answer my emails,
but she said he stood out, because his topic was your music saved my life. She read it and
then showed it to me. So I emailed him personally. We’ve become pen pals. We haven’t met
yet, but that’s changing on this next tour. I’ll be in Boston and that’s where he lives. He’s
coming to my concert, and then I will meet him after.
“Oh Tally. Did you talk to Ambrose before we left?” I asked.
“Yeah. I stopped him before he walked out. I told him I’d let him know after my tour that I wanted him to stay safe and come home. I didn’t want this on his mind during the fight.”
They all nodded.
“I think after this tour you should take a break. Get to know him, he might still be the same
guy you’ve always been in love with,” I said.

“Yeah, that’s a good idea. I’ll tell him when I come home from the tour that I expect him to
take me on a date.”
“And what about this other guy?” Tabi asked.
“We’re just friends. He’s sweet, but we live in different states. I’m never moving and he’s a
teacher for the blind, so I don’t see him moving. The only thing we really have in common is my music and our love for sushi. But, of course, I don’t think Demon and I have anything in common. Besides, we can both kick someone’s a*s. Him more than me, of course.”
We all chuckled at that.
We all fell asleep and didn’t wake up until we stopped for a break. Dashawn came and got me
and took me to the bathroom. I found it endearing that he would wait for me to get done, buy me whatever snacks and drinks and put me back in the car before doing his business. He was so good to me. I watched through the window as Tally sauntered up to Ambrose and talked to him. I chuckled as his ears turned pink and he nodded. She winked at him and his
whole face flamed, but he had a small rare smile on his face.
She got in and smiled at me.
“I did it. My heart was pounding a mile a minute.”
“What did you say?”
“I said, if we wanted to become an item, that we needed to date a little, so I was expecting a
date when I came home.”
“Good. I’m glad you didn’t ask. No time for him to think, demanding what you wanted was
way better.”
“I agree. Now I can’t wait for this tour to get over.”
“Did you hear they’re all going to a strip club after the fight to celebrate?” Kimber asked.
I nodded, and opened a slim jim.
“You don’t care?” Tabi asked.
“Do you? I trust Dashawn,” I said.
“I heard Ciara tell Theo if she found out he let a stripper touch him that she would do what
Aunt Cassie did.”
“What did Aunt Cassie do?” I asked.
“She caught Uncle Ripper in a strip club getting a lap dance. So she found out it was a

contest night and she entered it. Got on stage and stripped. Shoved her br*asts in Bulls face
and motor boated him.”
“Shut up! Dashawn and Kimber’s Uncle Bull?” I asked, astonished.
They all nodded. “Did he lose his sh*t?”
“Oh, yeah, I overheard Uncle Dozer ask Uncle Ripper how Cassie liked being whipped with a
belt and did he think Aunt Becs would like that,” Kimber said.
“NO! He spanked her with a belt?”
“That’s the rumor,” Kimber said.
“A belt, ouch,” I mumbled. They all nodded.
“Were all your parents freaky in the bedroom?” I asked. I couldn’t imagine my parents being
like that.
“How the h*ll should we know? I do not want to know. But I mean, I heard my dad was a f*ck
boy back in his day,” Tabi said.
“I heard Uncle Beast has a vibrating tongue ring,” Tally said.
“Ew, I did not need to know that,” Tabi said. She shuddered as she turned around.
We stopped for the night in Colby, Kansas. It wasn’t at an LOC chapter but at a Vengeful Angels chapter. Apparently, since Dashawn’s Uncle Bull used to be the President of the Vengeful Angels in New York, they are kind of like a brother club. All Vengeful Angels chapters were allies with all LOC. They went legit from 1%‘s years ago. They had the LOC of
New York back on becoming the new Mother Chapter.
Dashawn told me to stay close to him the whole night. Although they were allies, he didn’t
know any of the men here.
They had club wh*re’s. Luckily, they were actually nice and didn’t encroach on any of our men, unless they were asked for some of their time. No one grabbed the women here like they were free use property. They were treated like actual people, and I didn’t like calling them club wh*res in my mind, it felt disrespectful.
“Dashawn, these women, what do they call them here?”
“Sweetbutts. Their version of a club wh*re but it’s more respectful here.”
“I like that better,” I mumbled.
He smiled at me and kissed my temple.

That night I had a nightmare. I was standing watching all the men fighting these shadow figures. The shadow figures and demon red eyes and salivating white teeth with wicked–looking claws that looked like knives. I watched them as they sl*shed through Ice, ripping out his heart, then Crush and Shooter went down as two shadow figures ripped their throats out. Three tearing Demon’s limbs from his body. The men that I knew as Flip, Cueball and Pit were melted, their skin melting from their bones. Dice, the twenty–one–year–old boy that I knew as Callum, was sliced in half. Twist, Volley, Betty and Chance’s son, was
obliterated into mist. And the worst was watching Dashawn, his skin being peeled away and
eaten. And one big shadow creature opened his big mouth and devoured Dashawn’s face.
I woke up screaming. Dashawn jumped out of bed, had his gun in one hand and his knife in
the other in seconds. The door to our room burst open and Ambrose, naked, charged into the
room.
“Oh, my God! Put that monster away!” I screamed, pointing at Ambrose’s large soft d*ck. His
hands, which also had a gun and knife in them, covered his junk.
“Baby, are you OK? Why did you scream like that?”
By this time, everyone was in the hall, people asking if everything was okay.
“I’m sorry I had a nightmare, it was so real. I’m so sorry,” I said, crying. These d*mn hormones
were turning me into a big cry baby.
I heard Dashawn tell Ambrose he appreciated his quick response. Ambrose went out into the
hallway and told everyone to go back to bed. I heard gasps, and someone choked, but I was
completely mortified to move my hands from my face to see what was going on.
“Baby, it’s okay. You scared the sh*t out of me though,” he chuckled, as he put his weapons
back on the side table and took me into his arms.
I cuddled him, apologizing. He kissed me to get me to stop and then cleaned my face with his
thumbs. He held me tightly and fell asleep, but I stayed awake for a long while. I really hoped
this wasn’t some kind of omen.
