Glancing around the clubhouse, he scrunched up his nose, because the place looked like Halloween had vomited all over it.
“What the fuck is going on?”he asked, moving toward the bar where Kinky was sitting.
“Carlos is out of the hospital.Abriana and Ugly Beast are taking care of the kids, and they thought it would be good for Carlos to have a coming-home party.”
He was still recovering, and would need some physical therapy for his mobility.They had everything organized.
“A party.”
“Yep.”Kinky didn’t look happy.
“What’s going on?”Big Dick asked.
“Hailey’s coming,” Kinky said.
“That’s a good thing, right?You might be able to talk to her?”He knew Kinky had been struggling since he’d been caught trying to find out information about who she was.
The decision had come from the club.They needed to know who Hailey was and why she had suddenly arrived in Fort Clover.However, it was supposed to be friendly and not get sexual.Kinky, being Kinky, had taken it to the sexual place, and that was why he was in the position he had been in.Hailey had cut him off and had nothing to do with him.Just like Larissa.
It was why he didn’t go into the bakery, although he wanted to.
Big Dick was ...surviving.He had to focus on wiping out Cadeon and the Twisted Bastards MC for good.Most of his time was spent chasing them, figuring out their next move.While Carlos was in the hospital, they had guys there, then men in town to keep an eye on their assets, including Ava’s Bakery and Hailey’s Beauty Parlor.Although they had no connections to Hailey’s, other than the fact Harlow worked there.
All Big Dick had wanted to do was go to Larissa.She wouldn’t answer his calls, and her father was constantly giving him warnings.
“I can try and talk to her, but her actually talking to me, well, I doubt it.”Kinky sighed.
“Do you know if Larissa is coming?”Big Dick asked.
“I don’t know.”He shrugged.
“I know Abriana and Ugly Beast are not coming.As for anyone else, I don’t know.”Kinky got to his feet and wandered off.
Big Dick spotted Ava across the room, and he made his way toward her.With how busy he’d been, he’d not talked to many of the women here.
“Hey,” he said.
Ava turned to him, and her gaze wasn’t frosty, but it also wasn’t welcoming.
“Big Dick,” she said.
“It’s going to be one hell of a party.”
“I’ve invited Larissa, but I don’t know if she’s coming or not.”
“You don’t?”
“No.She’s ...different,” Ava said.
“How is she holding up?”Big Dick asked.
Ava turned toward him.“She’s different.I don’t know what more you want me to say, other than she is not the same woman I remember.She is different.The easy smile is gone.The happiness that was always in her eyes is no longer there.She is completely different than the person I remember.I don’t know if she is going to come or not.”
And with that, Ava stepped away and made her way across the room.
He didn’t have any costume, but from the looks of it, most of the guys were sticking with their leather cuts.There was no point in him sticking around.People were talking to him, but in some cases, it was reluctantly.
Big Dick made his way toward the back of the clubhouse, going to the end of the main hall, and finding the communal shower was free.Some of the rooms within the clubhouse had the luxury of en-suites.His room didn’t, unfortunately.At least they had updated and put a damn lock on the door.There was a time they didn’t even do that.
