Buzz
I can’t believe someone broke into her shop, again. I know she is hiding something and she won’t tell me. What I do know is that someone is watching us as we stand in Sweetie Pies. Being in the military has helped me be more in tune with my senses, I know when I am being watched and right now we are being watched and that’s for damn fucking sure. Who knows what they would have done if I hadn’t come with her. Someone is fucking with my girl and I am going to get to the bottom of this. First thing, I need her to understand that I am a friend here to help, even if she doesn’t get the hint that I want her as more than that. I know she wouldn’t want someone broken like me but I will be her best friend if that is all she will have me as.
I can hear her talking on the phone with the police. Those fuckers aren’t going to do anything, they never do. For now, we will do it the way she wants so she feels in control but if they don’t find anything out or protect her, I will, whether she likes it or not.
“Liz, what did the police say?”
“They are going to be here in a few minutes. They said to stay outside and not touch anything. I guess it is a little late for that.” She says as she lifts up a chair.
“Hun, why don’t we go outside and wait for them to come.”
Her shoulders slump a little and she nods her head and walks out. I follow behind her. I look across the street and notice a guy, I can’t make out his face, as he is getting into his car and leaving. I don’t want to worry her but I memorize the last digits of his license plate 3089, I am going to have Rock look into this.
“Buzz, you don’t have to stick around. I know you were having your party at the club and I didn’t mean to drag you into any of this.”
I open my arms up for her to come into a hug. She steps into my arms. “I am not going anywhere, you need a friend right now and that is what I am going to be.” I don’t want to tell her that I won’t leave her alone because some sick fuck was watching us.
“Thanks.” She steps back. I clear a tear and her makeup from her eye.
“No problem hun. I am going to make a quick call. Don’t go no where.”
I get on the phone and call Rock. I pass on the last few digits of the license plate to him, as well as have him look into Liz’s background. I want to know what is going on and everything there is to know about her. I was trying not to do this but I need to know everything about her so I can protect her.
The police finally arrive and Liz leads them into the store. They start taking pictures and they dust a few places for fingerprints but don’t find anything of substance. These fuckers are of no use. We live in a small town, and they don’t know what to do in situations like this. The most action they get every year is when some fuck beats on his wife or gets his dick stuck in a vacuum. The Corrupted Saints police this town more than the actual police. People know, not to start shit. Of course, teenagers do rebel and the regular cops deal with that shit but no one messes with each other like this. I know she isn’t telling the cops or me everything either, I can tell she is holding back more details. I don’t know why, but she is. My gut is telling me that it gets worse.
About 2 hours later, Tank, our Vice President comes by with his girl Sky and a few other guys, Sky and Liz are good friends. The cops are wrapping everything up finally. I walk to where Liz is, inside the shop. She is trying to clean up but it is around 1 a.m. I called a few of the guys and asked them to bring over some wood to board up her window.
“Liz, we are gonna board up your window.” Winger says. Winger and Rock are working on hammering the boards up. Liz and I stick to cleaning up the food mess inside. Some of the other guys are helping out as well.
“”Thanks everyone for helping me. I really appreciate it. I know I haven’t known you guys for that long but from the bottom of my heart, thank you.”
“Sugar, you don’t need to thank us, you were there helping us when Winger was in the hospital and you helped out my girl, Sky when things were tough.” Tank says as He gives Sky a kiss on the forehead.
I move through her kitchen and office towards the trash, when I notice a pair of panties, on the ground. That’s beyond fucking odd. I know she used to live upstairs; maybe she dropped these by accident. I don’t want to grab them and have her think I am a pervert, so I continue towards the trash and walk back to the main room to grab Liz.
“Liz?”
She is sweeping up the rest of the glass into a large trash can. “Yeah?”
“Can I talk to you for a minute?” I don’t want to alarm her but it is kind of odd that she would leave panties here.
“What’s going on?” She asks, letting out a huge sigh.
“Follow me.” I lead her towards her office. “I think you may have forgotten something in your office. I didn’t want to grab them and you think I was a pervert or something.”
She looks down and her face blanches. She quickly grabs them and put them into her pocket. “Sorry, things get clingy when I do laundry. I thought I had lost these a while back, good to know someone wasn’t raiding my panty drawer.” She laughs nervously and immediately walks away and starts to clean up again. That was fucking weird, I was expecting her to get red and blush, but instead she turned white as a sheet, something’s not right. I immediately follow behind her.
“Liz?” I stand at the doorway.
“Buzz, it is nothing, please just drop it.” I can tell she is getting agitated and nervous. She won’t make eye contact with me. I know this mechanism because I have used it before, she is scared.
“Fine.” I am going to drop it for now, but she will tell me what that was about.
We continue to clean up her bakery well into the morning. Finally, we are able to shut down everything and I drive her home. I have one of the prospects follow in a cage, so I can ride back with them.
Chapter 4
Liz
I can’t believe what happened tonight. My shop was completely vandalized, again. I left my crazy job as a political aid to find peace and now the crazy has found me again. I am usually pretty good at dealing with crazy but right now, I am barely hanging on. All I want to do is crawl into my bed, sleep and hide away for a few days. I can’t open Sweetie Pies for a while, at least not until I can get the place back to normal. I think someone is stalking me, I feel the hairs on my neck stand up all the time. The question of who, is what I don’t know. I don’t know who it is or what they want but I wish they would leave me alone. I haven’t been on a date with anyone since I moved into this small town. So, I don’t know who it could be.
Buzz is trying to be a good friend but I don’t want him or his club to be involved in my business, I need to distance myself. I know they aren’t exactly the cleanest MC and I don’t want them to get involved. Buzz insisted on driving me home so now I am sitting in the passenger seat of my car. I tried to resist a little but I am glad he pushed because I don’t think I would have been able to drive myself home. I am nothing, but thankful for all his help, but I need to distance myself from him as I don’t want something to happen to anyone because of me, especially with what I believe is a stalker trying to make my life hell. To make things worse, I am sure he knows I am not telling him something, he can read me like a book and I hate it.
We pull up to my single story southern style home. The house is a fixer upper, the outside isn’t much to look at, the paint is peeling and there are tons of overgrown weeds and a rusty old fence, but the inside- the inside is amazing. It has a vintage flair but with a modern twist. I used all light airy colors and upgraded the kitchen to a chef’s kitchen.
I am reaching for the door handle when Buzz stops me with a hand to the shoulder.
“Liz.” He says.
I lean back and look over to him. “Yes.” I swallow hard. I am nervous, I don’t know why I am nervous.
“You aren’t telling me something, I will respect that for now, but please if you need anything know that I am there for you.”
“Than
ks Buzz, I appreciate that, but really everything is okay. It is just some dumb little teenagers. I don’t know anyone but you guys in this town and my customers, and even them I am not close to. I keep to myself most of the time so stupid teens is the only thing it could be.”
“I’m not convinced Liz. I know you better than you think, I know we have only known each other for a few months but I consider you to be a good friend.”
“Thanks, Can I go now? I really want to get into my bed and sleep for a few days.”
“Yeah.” He gets out of the car and runs around to my door and opens it up for me.
“Thank you.” I start walking towards my door, while I rummage through my purse looking for my keys.
“Liz.” I turn back and see Buzz smiling and holding up my keys. This man is gorgeous, his teeth are perfect. I start to walk towards him to grab my keys.
“I forgot that you drove, I am so used to just having them.” I am about to reach for them when he nods his head no.
“No, I am going to make sure you are safe. I need to make sure that no one is in your house.” I am about to open my mouth and argue but I know better. “Nope, no arguing. It is going to happen or I am going to stay outside your door all night.”
“You wouldn’t.”
“Try me little girl.”
“Fine. Can we get this over with? I really want to go to sleep.” God, I have never had him or anyone for that matter in my house. I hope it’s clean. My mind is going nuts thinking about what I may have left out. As long as he doesn’t go into my bedroom and find an underwear or something I am fine.
“Lead the way hun.” He holds his arm out indicating for me to go first.
“Fine, I guess I can give you a tour since you’ve never been here before. It doesn’t look like much on the outside but I did a lot of work on the inside. Sorry about the mess ahead of time.”
“Liz, I don’t care about anything, I just want to make sure that you are safe and no fuckers are in there to hurt you.” He says. We walk up to the front door and Buzz moves ahead of me and opens up the door. He is moving with precision. I never noticed before but he moves like he was trained to do so.
“You stay right there until I can make sure that the room is clear.” He says as he moves across the threshold. “Where is the light switch?”
I move inside and flip on the lights. “Over here.”
“Liz, I told you to stay outside until I made sure it was clear.”
“It is fine, Buzz. No one is in here.”
“Can you just stay there woman? You are driving me nuts.”
“Fine, I will stay and stop talking to me like I am a dog.” I move to my couch and just sit down. At least it is clean. I can’t even feel his presence in the room, it is like he became a ghost. I can’t hear him or see him.
I hear footsteps coming up the front porch. I am frozen on the couch.
“Yo, Buzz, Breaker wants to know where you are?” It was the prospect. I look up and see him come over to the couch.
“Hey Liz, where did he go?” he asks.
“I don’t know. I will go check.” Shoot, I think he went into my room, it is the furthest room in the back of the house. I make my way back to my bedroom.
“I can hear your footsteps Liz.” Buzz says. He is leaning up against my bedroom door frame with his arms across his chest. Lord have mercy, this man is big, and his veins are bulging from his arms.
“And I can’t hear you, you became a ghost, what is up with that? Did you find the intruders you were looking for?” I ask him.
“No, but I found out so much more about you.” He says with a giant smile. Oh gosh, he found something embarrassing, like a dirty panty or something.
“Yeah, and what is that?” I ask as he walks towards the front door.
“I will see you later Liz, let me know if you need anything, you have my number.”
“Buzz, what did you find?” I open up my door and find my vibrator on the bed. Holy shit, my face blanches.
I run towards the front door and look out the window, Buzz is smiling back at me from the inside of the truck he is now in. Buzz is driving and the Prospect is in the passenger seat. I need to find out what his name is, I feel weird calling him the prospect.
I am so embarrassed that he found that. I’ve been really lonely and it is not like people are lining up to date me. Now Buzz, the man that I have been dreaming of, has literally seen the one thing I stick up my vag. He must think I’m a sex freak.
I make my way back over to my couch and just sit down. I close my eyes for a few minutes to just think about what has happened, never mind the fact that I am completely and utterly embarrassed that Buzz saw my vibrator but now that I think about it, I didn’t take it out and the panties that were near it, I haven’t worn those in a few months. I really hope I am just imagining things and I forgot that I had taken it out, but I swear I didn’t.
Chapter 5
Buzz
I just left Liz’s place, I needed to make sure that no one was in her house. Everything was fine and then some. I found her fuck toy, my girl has needs and she is taking care of them herself. I wish I was the one taking care of those needs but I’m no good for her. I don’t want to hurt her.
I had a club whore stay over one night after I got shit faced. We fucked and she stayed over and I ended up choking her out in her sleep. I could have killed her. I didn’t know that I was doing it because I was asleep, I was having a flashback from my time in the military. It took two brothers to get me off of her and I felt so bad. Luckily, she understood and she left. I am just happy I didn’t kill her. I couldn’t imagine doing that to Liz, I still have nightmares every night, some nights I can’t even sleep because I keep getting flashbacks of everything I did and saw during my deployments.
I am not even sure Liz likes me. I have tried to flirt with her but she never flirts back. I would love for her to be my old lady, but I don’t think she ever would. I wouldn’t want her to be stuck with a man that is broken, she deserves so much better.
My cell phone brings me out of my thoughts as it buzzes in my pocket. I pull it out of my pocket and see that it is Breaker calling me.
I answer. “Buzz here.”
“Hey man, everything alright?” He says.
“Everything is good man, some fuckers broke into her bakery and trashed the place. I went over to her place and made sure no one was in there.”
“Alright, if you need anything you let me know. You know you can protect her better by making her an old lady, then she would have the club’s protection fully.”
“You know she won’t go for that.”
“Why not? I see the way you look at her brother. She is a good honest woman and she knows the club.”
“Fuck, is it that obvious?”
“Yes fucker, it is. Everyone knows that you have a thing for her. You haven’t so much as sniffed the same way at a woman since the incident last year until Liz came around.”
“Fuck. Alright man. I am on my way back to the clubhouse. I will see you in a few.”
“See ya soon, brother.” He hangs up the call.
We arrive back at the clubhouse and the party is still alive and kicking. I make my way to the room where we hold church and find Breaker, Tank, Winger and Rock in there.
I push Winger’s feet off the table so I can get through and walk to an open seat.
“What’s up fuckers? We holding church and I don’t know about it.” I ask.
“No, we are just chatting, getting away from the dick breath out there.” Winger says.
The guys all start chuckling because they all know he is talking about Gemma.
“Everything okay with Liz?” Breaker asks.
“She is pretty freaked out and I am sure that someone was watching us when we got to the bakery. I saw the fuck and had Rock here run some tags on the plates. I have never seen his plates before or seen him before.” I say.
“You f
ind anything Rock?” Breaker asks.
“Not yet Pres, the program is still searching.” Rock says.
“Well, you let me know when you do.” I say.
“Her place was pretty fucked up, I have never seen anything like that. You could see the hate that someone had when they were fucking up her shit.” Winger says.
“Yeah, I know man, I know she isn’t telling me everything.” I say.
I hate that she is alone and no one is with her. I would have asked for one of the old ladies to go spend some time with her but I don’t want to put them in the crossfire of the psycho who is messing with my girl.
I know Liz is stubborn and won’t accept my protection or the club’s protection.
“You gonna make her an old lady so she has the club’s protection?” Tank asks. He is sipping on some scotch.
“Making her my old lady is some serious shit, plus she won’t go for it either.”
“You know that is the only way she will get our protection to the max. For her to be truly safe, if you made her an old lady or one of the other brothers did she would be safest.” Breaker says.
My fists clench and I am getting pissed. “No one is going to make her an old lady, if it is going to be anyone it will be me. No one touches her.” I say.
“Calm your shit fuckhead, I already have my old lady and I just wanted to see how serious you were about Liz. Now that I see you get your panties all in a bunch I know you want her.” Breaker says.
“Come on fuckers, I need some more liquor, plus we are celebrating out here. I don’t want the other chapters to think we are pussies.” Tank says.
We all get up and make our way out of the room into the main clubhouse.
I can’t help but think of Liz. I really want to be with her right now, she must be on edge with what just happened. I want her to know that I am there for her and that I am serious about giving her my help, I can’t give her my heart or soul because lord know I may not have one with all the shit I have done, but I can provide her with friendship. I make my way over to Tank and ask him to help me out with something.
