CHAPTER SIX

Despite the heavy make-up pasted on by Belle every single morning, no one misses my shiner.

Studying the reaction of the usual crowd gives me new insight into what their true personalities are about.

Early on when it was fresh, some men saw the bruise as a free pass to make their moves or tell me about their sexual preferences.

Those I want to slap silly.

Funny how being knocked out once has turned me in a relatively more violent person.

But then I never knew before there were guys who had such lame pick-up lines as “Honey, if I had known you liked it rough I would have made my move earlier!”

Others act as if they don’t notice anything but I can tell they do. Yeah, the way they look at my face when they think I can’t see them says it all. They’re curious but act as if they couldn’t be bothered. They simply ignore it since it’s none of their business.

A few surprise me. They ask if they can help.

Volcano is one of them.

“You just need to say the name Holly, and I’m gonna make sure the bastard remembers he is never to hit a woman.”

He also grumbles something about making an exception for his mother in law who’s the devil incarnate.

I pat his shoulder.

Poor sweet Volcano, saddled with a mother in law from hell.

He squints while I bent over to pour some coffee.

“You’re almost as good as new but the offer still stands.”

“It’s good to know there are still knights in shining armor left in this world!”

“Thank you man,” says a deep voice behind me. “But from now on, I’ve got her back.”

I spin on my heels and look up at Chaser. He’s not wearing his biker’s leathers but the regular clothes I first saw him in.

“Hey stranger.”

I try to sound cheerful but I fail.

The sound of my own voices surprises me.

I’m mad at him. Resentful because he didn’t check in on me all week.

“I think there’s an empty table over there,” I say pointing to the other side of the diner, in Belle’s section.

He tilts his head as if he can’t figure out why I’m upset and decides to ignore my bad mood.

“Nah, I’m good,” he says. “Except for one thing, I don’t have your phone number so…” he doesn’t end his sentence.

Right, I get it, I never gave him my number and if Belle didn’t give it to Piston, then he had no way of calling me.

Now, if he cares, what’s his excuse for not dropping by earlier?

“I’m sorry didn’t get a chance to check on you before I left.”

My anger deflates like a cartoon balloon.

The man was on the road. He studies the change of expression on my face and I hate myself for being so transparent.

“Yeah, right, so anyway, I’ll pick you up at seven, tonight. I just need to know where.”

“Wha-at,” I stammer.

“Come on Honey, it’s not so complicated, where do you live?”

“Next door to here,” I say. “Why don’t we meet at the diner?”

He shrugs.
