Chapter 6

Squick…

The next morning I sat at the same table in the common room that Dragon and I had used the night before. I was staring blankly into the large, steaming mug of black coffee I had cradled in my hand. I kept playing and replaying the conversation with Dragon in my head over and over again and was deciding on how to best put my house in order.

I liked Aaron despite our short acquaintance and I really wanted to give things with him a solid shot. Get to know him better, spend some real time with him. I’d never felt that way about a guy before. All my past interludes and forays into romance could hardly be called that. I’d never really tried at a relationship before. Every other encounter I’d had was pretty much an anonymous encounter or a week or two fling at best. I’d lied my ass off that first time with Aaron, telling him I didn’t do one night stands… I just hadn’t wanted to do a one night stand with him, because something deep down told me Aaron was different than anyone I’d met before, that Aaron deserved better, was better than that.

He was the first person I’d ever encountered that I felt an honest and true connection with. That was more than just good looks and a round of rowdy sex. Having sex with him on the first date had been impulsive as hell, sure, but there was more to it than that at the same time. Hell! I didn’t know how to explain it. It just was and I felt so completely torn in two over it. Mostly because now, more than ever I had before, I felt like I was at a fork in the road. Down one fork, a life with my brothers and the MC I had so dearly grown to love and down the other… a life without hiding anymore.

Truth be told, I had been standing at this particular fork in the road for some time, just now, with Aaron it was more of a crossroads than just a fork. I just wasn’t sure if one of the directions I could travel was an all-inclusive deal. MC, Aaron and a life without hiding. The best of all worlds. I chewed my lower lip and thought about, just everything, when a ragged cough brought my head snapping up.

Ghost looked like shit. His jacket and cut hung on him awkwardly, his pants disheveled and wrinkled from sleeping in them. His hair stuck up at odd angles, greasy and unwashed. His eyes were bloodshot and bleary and he looked like he was about to keel over from exhaustion any second but that was likely a byproduct of being hung over and of just waking up. He eyed me from across the common room warily.

“You come and get me?” he asked.

“Yup.”

“Was I an asshole?” he asked and I laughed a little.

“Naw. Even when you’re a depressed drunk you’re a happy drunk,” I said.
