Chapter 25


    "Please don''t, I don''t want to hear" I said moving away from him "I told youst night you didn''t have


    to exin". Truth was I didn''t want to hear it because I was afraid I would burst into tears and I didn''t


    want to cry infront of him.  "I have to go" I told him again before I made my way down the stairs.


    Going straight for the bottle of wine I had in the fridge I filled my ss back to the top. A few more


    wouldn''t hurt before I go and with ze here I needed it.


    Watching him walk to the fridge he pulled out a beer and leaned against the bunker tops. Why was


    he still here? "Yes ze you can have one" I said watching the smirk make its way onto his face.


    "Hair of the dog darlin''." he said raising the bottle to his mouth and almost finishing it. Why was I


    smiling? How did it feel like nothing had happened?


    "How was your first day?" He asked not once taking his eyes of me. He was making me feel


    nervous and when I was nervous I said stupid things.


    "I can''t wait to start" I smiled "I have a really good feeling about it. I met the head doctor today and


    he seems lovely, tomorrow I should get my office and meet the rest of my staff. They seem like


    really nice people and-.. I''m rambling" Iughed forgetting how easy it was to talk to him. Feeling


    the blush take over my cheeks I buried my face in my ss.


    "Ramble away darlin'' I could listen to you all day" He said his eyes flicking over my body for the first


    time tonight.


    Clearing my throat I finished of my wine and put my ss in the sink "I really have to go" I said


    checking the time on the wall clock. I''m sure they wouldn''t mind if I was a littlete. "Need a lift?" He


    asked cing his bottle in the bucket by the backdoor.


    I did..


    "No it''s fine I''ll call a cab it-"


    "You ain''t riding in a cab dressed like that. Now the back of my bike, thats an image I won''t ever get


    out of my head" He smirked wiggling his eyebrows up and down. Such a pervert... Rolling my eyes I


    looked at how short my dress was. I couldn''t get on the back of a bike dressed like this- what the


    hell am I doing?


    "Ava it''s just a ride. Nothing else I will honour your word".


    That changed everything.


    "Unless you don''t want your doctor friends seeing you being dropped of by a member of Devils


    Due?" He sneered his features turning cold.


    "Have I ever gave a shit before? Fuck ze I''m pretty sure they know who my dad is" I said


    shaking my head at him. How could he ever think that? "I''m not ashamed of my family ze".


    " Well then let me give that fine ass of yours a ride" He grinned


    Pursing my lips together I crossed my arms over my chest watching him as he mounted his bike.


    "This is a bad idea" I said ncing down at my dress "I don''t want to sh my ass to the world. I


    think I''m just going to get a cab". Yeah that would be a better idea. This dress wasn''t made for a


    bike.


    " You ain''t now get over here" He muttered holding out his helmet for me to take. Chewing on my


    bottom lip I shook my head "I''m calling a cab" I said pulling my phone from my bag and unlocking it.


    This is what I should have done the minute he offered me a lift. I don''t want him getting the wrong


    idea, even though he said he would honour my word I wasn''t sure I could keep mine.


    "Stubborn ass" he muttered "Why pay for a cab when I''m right here?"


    "Because I don''t want to have to owe you anything. I don''t want you to think everything''s okay


    between us because its not". There I said it. Taking a deep breath I nce at my phone. It was


    approaching 8 o''clock, I didn''t want to be anyter than I was.


    " I told you I would honour your wo-.."


    "I''m not sure I can keep to mine" I snapped cutting him off "Unlike you my feelings don''t just


    disappear in a day. I''m afraid to be around you because I don''t want to give in". This is exactly why I


    told him there was nothing to take about. I didn''t want to drag up how I felt.


    Feeling his stare burn a hole in my face Iughed I fuckingughed " Guess I can''t just shut out how


    I feel huh? Well you know what they say, the best way to get over someone is to get under


    someone else" I red heading to my car. I knew I had slipped my keys in my bag earlier and I was


    thankful I did.


    "You already did that remember?" He snapped storming towards my car.


    That was it. mming my car door shut I stormed towards him hitting my fists of his chest "You


    really think I slept with Cage?" I roared catching the attention of my next door neighbors. Laughing


    out loud I shook my head "Unlike you I have some respect for my body. Now I''m not going to tell


    you again. Leave me alone, forget you ever met me because from this moment on that''s what I n


    to do". Storming back to my car I got in and drove off. That man drove me insane.


    Finally reaching the ck widow I parked my car round back. I needed a big ss of red wine


    maybe even a bottle. That man had nearly ruined my night but I was not going to let that happen.


    This was my chance to make some new friends and actually start my life here. Reapplying my


    lipstick I grabbed my purse and headed inside.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    ncing around the bar I smiled when I saw Josh waving at me " I thought you weren''ting" he


    smirked walking towards me and taking my hand "Come meet the team".


    Dragging me through the crowd he stopped at the back booth with a group of about 10 people. "


    Everyone I''d like you to meet Ava" Josh said causing everyone to look at me. Smiling nervously at


    them all I gave a little wave.


    "You are beautiful" Ally the girl I met early gushed beside me. I was guessing Ally had had a little to


    much to drink. "Really you are stunning, I''m so d your working with us. Its about time we got


    some more girls around that ce" Knocking back the shot she had in front of her she mmed it


    back on the table.


    Everyone I had met was lovely and they sure knew how to have a good time. "Come on Ava do a


    shot with me" She smirked grabbing the shot sses from Mark a nurse that was part of her team.


    Shrugging my shoulders I took the shot my face screwing up as the liquid slide down my throat.


    Tequ!! "Ohe on I love this song" grabbing onto my hand she pulled me from the booth


    "Dance with me".


    I wanted to know where this girl got her energy from. " I''ll miss this one out" I smiled watching as


    she grabbed both Mark and Sean dragging them to the dancefloor.


    "She''s a little wild" Joshughed as he slide into the booth beside me. She was that but she was


    great. Taking a sip of my wine I smiled, this was the most fun I''d had in a long time.


    "She''s great" I replied watching his hand slip into mine. What was he doing? "I think you''re going to


    fit in here perfectly" he muttered looking straight into my eyes. Watching him lean in I turned my


    head in the opposite direction, as lovely as he was I wasn''t about to start something I had no


    intention of persuing.


    "My bad" He huffed "Sorry Ava but you are a very attractive woman and I saw a chance so I thought


    I would take it. I do apologise if I made you feel ufortable it wasn''t my intention. Let me get you


    a drink" he muttered running off before giving me a chance to speak. I think he was embarrassed


    more than anything else.


    "So think you''ll like it here" A girl named Holly asked as she sipped on her drink.


    "Well I have an awesome team do I not?" I smirked as they all started hooting and cheerinoff


    "Ain''t you Franko Mendez''s daughter?" Mark pipped up a little louder than I would have liked


    managing to catch a few peoples attention. Great the one thing I didn''t want them to mention and


    one person has to bring it up.


    Clearing my throat I looked around the table. Surely they already knew I was. "Ain''t he President of


    Devils Due? That gang of thugs that think they run the city?" Sean asked a distasteful look on his


    face. Okay so they weren''t perfect but they weren''t thugs. Fine they maybe are but they ain''t all that


    bad.


    "Running around on there little motorbikes wearing those stupid cuts, pathetic. Did you know they


    all have tattoos the full length of there back representing there club. Who even does that?" Greg


    pipped up knocking back his beer.


    I think it was time I left. "Guys that''s enough" Josh muttered as I stood up and smoothed down my


    dress. "You''re sitting here ripping apart my family and your the ones calling them pathetic. I think its


    time I left. Excuse me" I whispered making my way out of the booth.


    "Ava ple-.."


    "I''m fine, what you guys said was true. My fathers a criminal but I''m not. I just wish people would get


    over that fact that he''s my dad. I hope you all don''t think any different of me. Enjoy the rest of your


    night".


    Walking into the cold air I shivered as it circled my body. Why the hell did I not bring a jacket?.


    Thinking about what they said made me angry. No matter what he had done or that he was


    president of the most feared MC he was still my dad, my family. How could anyone just sit there and


    talk about shit they knew nothing about? Were they going to judge me badly because of who my


    dad was? Those boys may look like criminal thugs but they were now my family and if it wasn''t for


    them, wasn''t for ze a lot of bad things would have happened to me. I get that rumours fly and


    escapade into something bigger than what they are but blood was blood. They were my blood and I


    sure as hell wasn''t going to hide it.


    ncing at my phone I groaned when I noticed the time. I hadn''t nned on staying out thiste. I


    guess time really does fly when you''re having fun. Not really wanting to do it I opened up a new text


    my fingers hovering over the letters.


    ''ck widow. Need a ride''


    After hitting send I almost jumped 10 feet in the air as a hand was ced on my shoulder.


    "Sorry I didn''t mean to scare you. I was justing to make sure you were okay?"


    "I told you I was fine Josh. If they want to treat me differently because of my dad then so be it. Its


    not going to change that I am one hell of a good doctor. I just hope they know they''re all working for


    a criminals daughter. Did you tell them?" I asked moving back a little so I could get a clear view of


    him.


    "Sean and Mark are sorry. Ally ripped them a new one as soon as you left. We aren''t going to treat


    you any differently. You''re a great asset to the hospital and I will apologise in advance for what they


    said. You can expect an apology from them tomorrow morning in person".


    He still didn''t answer my question. " Do they know I''m there new boss?" I asked as he shoved his


    hands in his pocket. "They know and they are truly greatful. Honestly they all love you and they''ll


    get over who your Dad is".


    "Good to know" I muttered just as my phone bleeped.
