Trusting Nicole (The Last Hangman MC #4)(17)

“So, how do you feel about Jason?” Charline grins.

“Not again.” I shake my head, laughing humorlessly.

“What? We wanna know!”

“I’m sure you do, but as I said, we are friends. He’s a widower and still grieving, it hasn’t even been a month.”

“So you do want him.” Ayd smirks.

“No, I don’t, what’s with you lot today?” I ask incredulously

“We just wanna know the truth. We’ve seen how you look at him, that’s not how friends look at each other.” Ayd grins, proud of herself.

“He’s hot, I’ll give you that, but that doesn’t mean I want him.”

“Not buying it, but we’ll be nice and give you time to come to that conclusion on your own. After all, you’re still young. I wonder how Gabe and Aleck would react to you two dating. I’d pay to be there when you tell them!” Ayd says laughing.

“You’re a bitch.”

“I love you too, Kitten.” She waggles her eyebrows, leaving me speechless.

“What?” I raise my eyebrow at her.

“Don’t think I didn’t hear him call you that the other day, it slipped into the conversation. I don’t know where you got that nickname from, but my guess is that you’re not telling us the truth.”

I groan. “I don’t know why he called me that.” I shrug.

“Yes, you do.” She looks at me intently.

“You’re forgetting who you’re talking to, Ayd. I’m not going to tell you anything.”

“So something did happen, good to know.” She smirks, proud of herself.

“You suck! No, nothing happened. He’s 12 years older than me anyway, that’s too old for my liking.”

“Sure, sure. Keep finding excuses, you should be proud if you scored a hottie like him. Just saying.” Charline grins.

I take a sip of my coke. I do want to talk to someone about it, but it would only raise more questions and would be unfair to Jason. “Can we just drop this?” I sigh as I feel my good mood slipping away.

“Hey, we’re just teasing, are you alright?” Viv asks, concerned.

“Yes, I’m alright. I do care about him, a lot. I know nothing will happen, that’s all.” I shrug.

“Why not?” Charline looks at me, confused.

“Many reasons.”

“Name three.” She grins as if she won the lottery.

“My brothers, he’s a cop, my MC family and the fact that he lost his wife a month ago. I have more if you need more.” I finish, realizing how wrong just thinking about being with Jason is.

“Hey, let’s change the subject,” Ayd says popping another olive in her mouth.

“You and those things.” I frown disgusted, I hate olives.

“What? They are good!” She looks at me as if I’m crazy.

“Gross.” I shudder.

“Weirdo.” She grins and pops another one.

“While this is cute, Ayd and I have something we’d like to ask the two of you.” Charline grins wide.

“Should we be worried?” I look at Viv with wide eyes.

“Yep, they are evil alone, imagine what they’re like together.” She looks back at me with eyes as wide as mine.

“Will you two stop.” Line squints her eyes at us and grins wide. “So, we’ve been talking and since we both are having babies at the same time, we want you two to be our babies’ godmothers. I’m Cameron’s godmother already so it’s only fair that you two get to be as well.” They both beam at us as me and Viv look at each other, letting out a huge sigh of relief.

“Wait, that could still be an evil plot, they could ask us to babysit when they want to have fun with their men, cock blocking us.” Viv whispers loudly.

“I think you’re right.”

“Nutters! We’d really love it if you would accept, pleaaaaaaase.” They both put on their best puppy eyes.

“Of course! Did you really think we’d say no?” I raise my eyebrow at them.

“You never know with you two!” Ayd says grinning.

“Who is whose godmother though?” Viv asks.

“Well, since Nic is going to be my little angel’s aunt, you get to be the godmother.” Line beam at Viv who gets up and hugs her.

“Thanks for leaving me with olive muncher over there.” I frown playfully and hug Ayd.

“You love me, really.”

“Of course I do.” I grin and rub her baby bump.

“Love you too, Kitten.” She snickers.

“You’re lucky you’re pregnant or I’d take you outside and kick your ass.” I narrow my eyes at her and grin innocently.

“I’m sure I’d be the one doing the ass kicking!” Ayd grins, flexing her guns.

“Show off,” Viv says making us laugh.

“You know it!” Ayd grins proud and digs into her food as soon as it’s placed in front of her.

Lunch is a blast as usual. We always have so much fun when we hang out together. I love these three women. They are the best friends anyone could ever ask for. They don’t judge, no matter what you’ve done. It’s a proven fact considering the weird pasts Viv and Line have. They don’t know mine though. I don’t know how they will react when I finally tell them what I’ve been through. No one knows, not even Gabe. I’m ashamed of some of the things I’ve done. I wish I could change it, but it’s not possible. I need to get out of the situation I’m stuck in before anyone catches wind of it. I’m afraid of what it’ll bring down on us if any of my friends find out about it before I’m able to tell them. I just don’t know how to get out of it.
