Chapter 45: My Woman Is Alive
I watched as the van stopped in front of the club. Dreamer pulled in after and got off his bike. I stood in front of the door unable to open it.
"Cherokee, she is alive."
" I looked at him what?"
" She is alive."
I pulled those doors open and jumped into the van. I saw her lying unconscious on the bed with her arms laying on the outside of the blankets.
I kneeled down next to her. I had tears flowing down my face. I lifted her and carried her from the van to our old room. I lay her down on the bed and then I locked the door. I removed my cut, boots socks, and jeans and climbed into the bed pulling her into my arms.
"Never again will I let my anger get in the way of talking to her."
I will kiss her senseless when she argues with me. I thought she hated me. I fell asleep for the first time since I thought I lost her.
I woke up and slowly opened my eyes.
I saw Dove sitting on me. "Cherokee."
" Baby, I reached up and touched her face."
" Don't ever do that again I said."
" They told me you cut your wrists and I thought you were dead."
" I love you Dove."
" I know you thought I didn't care about the baby."
" But I really did not know what I was looking at."
" Now I do."
" I didn't go home because you locked yourself away from me."
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about my first wife."
" She died a long time ago."
" She begged me to find another love."
" I found you."
" Pleased don't ever leave me again."
I pulled her down to me and kissed her. I made love to my woman for a few hours before we got up and took a shower. We dressed and walked down the stairs and to the table.
"Good to see you alive Dove I heard Dreamer say."
"This man went crazy when he thought you were dead."
" I was never so happy to find you alive when we got to Savage's club."
" Bear will come tearing in here soon when he finds out we went and brought you back home."
I leaned against Cherokee and he put his arm around me.
"He is not taking her back I said."
Then we heard a man say, "Who is going to stop me"?
"I am," I heard Cherokee tell him. "Shit head, this is your last chance."
" hurt my sister again and I will hide her where you will never find her."
" Bear,"
" Yes Dove."
" Shut the fuck up and sit down."
We watched as Bear shut his mouth and sat down.
"That's a good boy"
Dove said. We looked over at the expression on Bear's face. We all laughed.
"It is good to have Dove back where she belongs."
" I heard Dreamer say."
" I have never been happier I said kissing the side of her neck."
" So when is Jim coming Dreamer?"
" In two days."
" He is not happy with you either Cherokee."
" Doesn't matter."
" Half the MC's around here are related to Dove."
" They are all pissed at me right now."
I yelled, "where is my favorite prospect"?
No one answered me. I stood up in the booth and "yelled shut the fuck up."
It got really quiet. "Thank you."
" Now I asked a question."
" Where is my favorite prospect?"
Apparently, a club member thought he could disrespect me.
"Bitch you don't have a prospect."
" Oh, shit I said looking at my brother."
I watched as Bear slowly stood up and looked at the member that called me a bitch.
"What did you just call her?"
" A fucking bitch got a problem with that."
I leaned back against the wall with my arms folded. I watched Bear storm over to the man and pick him up by his throat.
"First off she is the queen of this club."
" She is Cherokee's wife and woman."
" And, she is my baby sister."
" If you ever disrespect her again I will cut your throat."
We watched as Bear threw the man across the room where he hit the wall.
"Now, I believe that Dove asked where her favorite prospect was."
" The one you threw has him standing outside for an hour now with his arms outstretched holding books in each hand."
I jumped off the booth seat and stormed outside. I walked over and pushed the books off his hands. I grabbed his hand and pulled him into the club.
I walked over and looked at the club member, I then brought my foot up and kicked him right between his legs.
"All you mother fuckers listen up and listen good."
" This is my prospect, not yours."
" No one punishes him but me."
" The next one that tries that shit will be standing out there holding books."
I looked at him and made him set down.
I grabbed a wet towel and wiped his face and neck. I handed him a glass of water and said. '
"When you are cooled down."
" Please bring me a fresh cup of coffee."
I walked over to the table and sat down.
"I yelled prospect sit your ass back down."
" You are not cooled off yet."
Everyone watched him sit back down.
"Dam sis, that bastard his still laying on the floor holding his balls."
" Steel-toe boots I said laughing."
" Well hell, you really hurt that idiot."
" No one does that shit to my prospect."
" He is mine."
" Cherokee you tell them to leave him alone."
" I stood up and said. Listen up."
" No one tells that prospect what to do but Dove."
" He belongs to her."
" Got it?"
" We got it Cherokee."
I watched as she sat back down.
I looked up as my prospect put my coffee in front of me then he kissed my cheek.
"Thanks Dove."
" You belong to me not them."
" Go have a beer."
We watched as he walked back and sat down.
"Bear said what the hell."
" He kissed your cheek."
" Always has since day one."
" He loves Dove, Donna said."
" Dove is like his big sister."
" She will kill anyone over him."
