Chapter Twenty-Five

King

“How’s he doing?” I whispered to Sager.

“Good. He’s sleeping now. When he was semi coherent earlier he asked about you and Miriam. I told him it’s a good thing. That seemed to satisfy him. You don’t have to whisper by the way. I’m the one in the room with him, not you.”

I had offered to stay with my father prior to his surgery. He had declined. The tension remained between us even after I had laid things out. But it seemed less since I had given it to him straight. My feelings. My expectations for our relationship going forward. With a little softness on my part thanks to Miriam and her faith in me.

“I’m out here on this hard as fuck couch while all the others are resting on their nice soft beds,” I explained why I was keeping my voice low.

“Ah, porbrecito.” Poor baby. “The chair here by our father isn’t all that comfortable either, mi hermano.”

“Thanks for being there with him,” I grumbled my appreciation.

“That almost sounded sweet. Who the hell are you and what have you done with my brother?”

“Fuck you, asshole.”

“Is sweet Miriam responsible for this astounding beast to butterfly metamorphosis?”

“Sager,” I warned. “Give it a rest.”

“Uh-uh. This is fun. You told me once that love is like getting kneed in the balls. Seems like you might be walking a little funny these days yourself.”

I couldn’t say jack to him. He always saw straight through my bullshit.

“The Hellcat drives like una pantera,” I said changing the subject.

“A panther she is. And anytime you wanna take her out of her cage, she’s yours.”

He had an open invitation to my Hummer as well. He knew it. I didn’t need to reiterate. We both might be territorial about our women, but not with our possessions. We grew up with nothing. We could afford a lot of shit now because of the band’s success. But our bank balances didn’t change who we were or what mattered to us. Money couldn’t buy or change the important things. I thought of Miriam. Who I was or what I had because of it didn’t factor with her. I had to have her. And I was determined to win her. The problems I once saw as unsurmountable between us I now saw as only wrinkles that needed to be ironed out. I was waiting until I knew everyone was asleep before I went to her to try to explain, to try to show her how good we were for each other. But it was still too early. Not because I was opposed to breaking mi madre rules. I just didn’t want any interruptions when I did.

“You talked to any of the guys lately?

“Not really. We’re all busy trying to get in as much normality as we can before we go back on the road. But I know that War’s in LA with Shaina. Dizzy’s here in Seattle with April. You know how tight Melinda and she are. Bry is with Lace at his mom’s place.
