Chapter Nineteen

“This card game is the shit,” Skylar announces about an hour later. “It’s luck, skill and bluffing all in one game.”

We are in two teams, and you sit diagonal from your teammate. It’s me and Crow against Skylar and Izzy.

“I know, why are we only learning this game now?” I agree, playing my ace of hearts and grinning. Crow keeps checking his phone, making sure the men aren’t trying to contact him. They’ve been silent so far, which is kind of annoying because an update would be nice, but we’re all trying to just make the best out of the moment.

“Where’s your sister and Mila?” I ask Izzy, wondering why they aren’t here.

“They’re with Trade,” she explains. “They are looking for a bigger house so they can all move in together. Safe to say I’ll be so sad to see them go, especially Mila.”

“Are you going to finally move into the clubhouse?” Crow asks, studying her. “Or are you going to keep giving Renny a heart attack by refusing to leave your house, even though you’re going to be in there alone?”

“The latter,” she admits, laughing. “I love my house—it’s my own little slice of heaven. I could never get any work done here, there’s always people here and shit going down. And I’m literally down the road, with fancy-ass security and a dog. I’m fine. Renny basically lives at my house anyway.”

“That’s true,” Crow admits, placing down the final trump card and winning the game. “And Abbie, we win again.”

“Dammit!” Skylar calls out, shaking her fist in the air. “I demand a rematch.”

“Temper sent a message,” Crow says, quickly grabbing his phone off the table as it beeps. “They’re all good, still following him. Hopefully this guy leads them to his house or something, or meets up with the other men, or his boss, and we can put this whole scenario to rest.”

We all share a look.

“This could go on into the night,” he adds, which is exactly what I was about to say. “Maybe we should sort out some food, and put some movies on or something.”

“Harry Potter marathon?” I suggest to them. Harry always makes things better.

“Sounds good to me,” Izzy says, standing up and stretching her arms above her head. “I’m guessing we can’t order food in, so we’re going to have to make do with what we have in the cupboard.”

“Temper stocked the fridge and cupboards,” I say, grinning. “So we have plenty to work with. I can make dinner if you like.”

“We’ll all help,” Skylar says, winking at me. “Come on, it will keep us all busy. And I’m getting hungry.”

We cook dinner, eat, and then watch Harry Potter until we all fall asleep.

With none of them home yet.
