'Look at Bright’s ring Axe. Noah and Bright are getting married.' He signs and Axe slowly looks to Noah and Bright and smiles and claps before signing 'good job' to Noah.
"So, let’s hear the gory details." I ask and sign, but Axe is busy playing thumb war with Ral.
"I was decorating and arranging the mantel in the main room." She looks to Noah and kisses him sweetly, toying with the messy hair behind his ears. "He told me, 'you’re beautiful girl. We should make it official, feel me?'
"I turned around and he tossed me the ring box." She laughs and Raleigh stops the thumb war to interrupt.
"But once she opened it, he was on one knee and told her he never knew this was his path until he met her and asked her proper to be his wife."
Bright kisses Noah again. “Then he said trust me yeah?" And duh, I do babe." She says and kisses him again.
I see theSkyyvodka on the counter next to a bottle of Crystal and decide we need to celebrate and poor us the Champaign and Noah theSkyy. "To the new two Becketts. Congratulations!" I say as we toast. Axe starts clapping until we look at him.
'Me too.' He says and Bright grabs him a juice from the fridge.
'Make a toast Axe.' She signs and he smiles.
'Noah and Bright going to have babies and be happy with rings.'
'Good toast bud.' Noah says and looks at us covering his mouth and speaks in a whisper. "No fucking kids, Ral is enough."
Axe and I sit and hang as we talk and I can’t really ask them what music should guide me until I have talked to the guys.
The doorbell rings and Axe snaps to get our attention and I smile because we all heard it and I am glad he did to. It is improvement.
"Woman did you already call the girls to start planning?" Noah asks as he walks through the foyer to answer the door. The "What the fuck do you want?" Comes from him laced in disdain.
When I hear her voice though I am off my stool because Axe starts tapping his five hand on his forehead then his chin repeatedly. He taps his chin for my attention, his forehead to tell me his mom is here.
Mother fuck!
Tayla is here and it is the last thing he needs. "Axe stay here with Ral and Bright." I speak and use ASL and he flinches from how furious I am.
"Explain I am not mad at him." I tell Bright who starts explaining my distress with ASL. His hearing getting better, but he reverts to ASL with excitement because it is easier to focus. Which tells me my face must have looked a hundred shades of anger.
"How did you even find me?" He asks and still doesn’t let her in the door.
Love that. Harsh Noah, that unforgiving one is mean as fuck.
"I went to your old place and saw the for-rent sign up so I called Coven and asked for an updated address."
"And you’re here for what, Psychopath?" He asks and she flinches at the cruelty.
She straightens her spine and looks to me, like I would help her. Not happening. "I didn’t know Cal was here I didn’t see his car in the drive."
"Would it matter if he was? You are no longer welcome here and in about five minutes I will have security remove you, so whatever it is get to it because the clock is ticking." He says, eyes still harsh, but flash for a split second seeing the whiteLamboin his driveway.
She hands him some papers and I cross my arms and smile at the scene before me. I have pity for what she turned into, but not who she chose to be. Her spine is stiff, her posture still poise dressed in her three-piece suit.
Its obnoxious, even her tats are covered. She works with rock stars, none of them trust the shit she is trying to sell them, not hiding and acting like she is better than us.
No this was one hundred percent Robert Black's influence.
Despicable.
"What is this? Our business is with Coven and Heshen Aggression until June of twenty-eighteen, but are agreement in not canceling the contract regardless the ridiculous price you wanted for us dropping the label, is we don’t deal with you two piles of shit. You want me to read some shit from Coven, send it through Brian and forget my address."
"This is the end of the sobriety contract. The Frey tour was three months but it locked in a year of sobriety after twelve months. This was our deal and my job. I need it signed to pull it from any continuing sobriety contract with Heshen."
