Lainey sighed as she walked into the pub. She knew the men wouldn't be to happy to see her, but she didn't care. She wasn't spending another night at home with Shannon and her family. She was a young woman, and needed to go out. She craved to go out. So as she walked in she could care less what the men would say. The first one to see her was Bovver. He smirked a little then bowed his head. He had been the one to tip her off on where they'd be. Even though they were there all the time.
"Damn it Lainey." Some one said from the back of the group. She recognized the voice at once as Pete's. He stood up and walked up to the girl. "You shouldn't be here. Go home."
"I can't stand being stuck in that house another night." Lainey whined. "Can't I just stick with you till the game?"
Pete shook his head. "No because I know you. After this you'll fallow us to the game."
"Go home Lainey." Dave called from his spot at the table. "We don't need you getting into trouble."
"No one asked you Dave." Lainey snapped at him. She moved around Pete and took a seat next to Bovver. She reached over taking Dave's glass and took a swig from it. She made a face then handed it back to him.
"You've been here two years, and you still can't take the taste of our beer." Bovver teased. "Americans."
Lainey smirked. "Didn't like beer back there and still don't."
"Then why do you always take my drink?" Dave asked in protest.
"Because I know it pisses you off." Lainey said with a smirk and the men around him chuckled. Pete sighed and sat a pint down in front of her. Lainey smiled up at him knowing she had won and would be able to stay. He leaned down and whispered in her ear.
"Your lucky we like you. Or the ass chewing I'll receive from Steve wouldn't be worth it." Pete said then sat down next to her. He was glad she came to live with Shannon and his brother Steve. He remembered when he first met the American girl. She was fighting with Shannon, but fell silent when she realized he had walked into the house.
Flashback
Lainey hit her hand hard on the kitchen counter. Shannon was once again not allowing her to go out. Shannon jumped and turned on the younger girl. She then sighed. She knew what it was like to be a young woman wanting to party while she was still young. But Lainey was different. Even though she was a sweet girl, trouble seemed to follow her. Shannon knew that if the girl got into trouble again, she'd have no where to go but jail.
"Lain, please. How about tomorrow night we go out on a girls night. Just me and you." Shannon tired to calm her cousin down. "I'll show you some cool places to hang out at."
Lainey huffed. "How am I ever going to make friends if you don't let me out of this house."
Shannon sighed heavily. "I know your frustrated. But Lainey this town is dangerous this time of the year. I just don't want you getting mixed up in the wrong crowd."
Steve saw his brother walking up to the house and met him at the door. "Pete, this isn't the best time."
"This whole week hasn't been a good time." Pete said with a smirk. He heard the raised voices and gave his brother a knowing look. "Ah, the beloved cousin finally showed up huh. Come on Steve, we're all family here."
Pete moved around Steve, before he could be stopped, and walked into the house. Pete stood back and leaned up against the door frame as he watched the two cousins bicker. This new girl was pretty with straight dark brown hair, blue eyes and freckles scattered across her cheeks. She was a little shorter than Shannon and a little bit bigger.
"I'm nineteen years old Shannon." The girl demanded then froze when she saw Pete standing in the doorway. "Who are you?"
Shannon turned in surprise and huffed at the sight of Pete. Steve bowed his head and walked past his brother he knew he was going to get an ear full later.
"Pete Dunham. Steve's younger brother." Pete said with a smile.
"Lainey Lilley." She replied.
End Flashback
Lainey placed her head on Pete's shoulder and smiled up at him. She had a few drinks by then was getting a little flirty. Pete chuckled. "What?"
Lainey bit her lower lip and batted her eyes at him. Pete shook his head realizing what she was wanting. "I told you. You're not coming with us."
"Please." Lainey said batting her eyes at him once again. Pete once again shook his head. Taking her along used to be a priority, considering she could get them out of almost any kind of trouble. But know that people thought she was Pete's girl it was risky taking her anywhere.
"You're not coming with us." Dave said glaring over at her. Lainey ignored him and tried her luck with Bovver. She wrapped her arm around his and gave him her best smile.
"Please Bovver." she begged. Bovver bowed his head as he answered.
"Stay close to us." he said. Lainey gave Pete a victorious smile.
"If she gets hurt. It will be on you." Pete warned.
"Oh Pete, have you not taught me any thing?" Lainey said with a smirk. It was true. Pete and Dave made sure she knew how to carry her own in a fight. She couldn't take the beatings like the men could but she could throw a mean punch.
"Come on now Pete." Swill said with a smirk. "We need our good luck charm today."
Lainey giggled. "Yeah Pete."
Pete rolled his eyes and stood up. The others followed his lead and headed off towards the stadium. A couple times Lainey was almost pulled away from the group by random guys on the street. Each time one of the guys pulled her to them and glared the guy down. The guys backed away at once. They knew all about Pete and his friends and the last thing they wanted to do was tick them off.
The last time it happened Dave pulled on her arm so hard that she almost knocked him over. Pete laughed and put his arm around Lainey's shoulders.
"You really want to come to the game now?" he asked. Lainey laughed and put her arm around his waist.
"Are you kidding this is the best part." Lainey replied. "Just seeing how protective you boys are. Makes this girl feel all special."
"Must you always sound like a Yank?" Dave asked with a smirk. "You've been here long enough to pick up on our slang."
Lainey stuck her tongue out at him and cuddled up to Pete.
"And you wonder why people think your Pete's old lady." Dave said putting his hood up. Pete did the same and pulled Lainey closer to her. They walked through the gate with no problems and Lainey moved out of Pete's arms. Now that they were in the stadium she didn't need the men's protection. Not to many people were stupid enough to make trouble around the cops.
After the game Lainey followed the men out of the stadium and was immediately pulled to one side by Pete.
"Time for you to make your way home." Pete said and Lainey pouted up at him. Pete shook his head and pointed in the direction of her house. "We let you come to the game, now you need to go home."
Lainey moved away from Pete and put her arms around Swill. "Swill, your on my side right."
Swill moved her arms away from him and shook his head. "Pete says you need to go home. And I agree."
Lainey sighed heavily then smirked over at Bovver. He looked away knowing that if he didn't then he'd let her come with. She sighed knowing that if those three boys said no then she had no chance with the others. As she turned to head home, she was grabbed around the middle and brought close to the man who grabbed her.
"On second thought Pete, we'd better take her with us." Dave said letting Lainey go. Lainey turned to him in surprise. Usually he was the last person to let her tag along. Pete seemed to be thinking the same thing. He gave Dave a confused look, then saw the men watching them from across the street.
"Lets head out." Pete said glaring over at the men. "Lain, stay close. And for fuck sake, keep up."
