Chapter 21: What Are You Doing Here?
Another three months passed with nothing out of the ordinary since I told Chibs and Uncle Bobby about Major. I woke up to kisses being planted all over my face. I smirked and rolled onto my other side so I could sleep some more. I heard Tig burst out laughing at my attempt to sleep even a little longer. He nuzzled my neck and said, "Come on baby we have to get up. I have to be at TM in an hour for church." I groaned and grabbed a pillow to cover my head with. Tig laughed again and said, "Reba, don't make me call Chibs, you know I will, and I don't think he would like to see you in just your underwear and tank-top." I groaned again but rolled out of bed and glared at Tig. He laughed at me again and said, "Oh, stop it baby. You can't pull that off when you first wake up in the morning. You are way too beautiful with your messy hair and lazy smile."
I blushed at Tig's words and formed a mischievous plan in my head. I put a carefree look on my face and said, "You think I'm beautiful when I wake up in the mornings? That is the sweetest thing ever." I slowly put my hand on the pillow I was just covering my head with and said, "What do you think now?" A moment of confusion passed over Tig's face until I hit him with the pillow I jerked up quickly. He huffed and got his own pillow.
We kept hitting each other with our pillows trying to get the most hits in when we heard someone yell, "TIG! REBA! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS!?" We started laughing again and Tig, already dressed went downstairs while I changed my clothes quickly. I threw on skull t-shirt and some shorts with my converse. Then I went and brushed my teeth. While I was going down the stairs, I pulled my hair down and fixed it into a less messy bun.
When I got downstairs, I saw Wendy conversing with Tig while he held Abel. I immediately went and grabbed Abel from Tig. I kissed Abel on the forehead and then looked at Wendy and said, "What's up? Any particular reason for the drop by?"
Wendy laughed and said, "No reason. It's Abel's 3-month checkup today and I decided to see if you wanted to come Reba? I can drop you at TM after his appointment if you decide to go with us."
I looked at Tig who said, "Baby, that's up to you. I have church anyway. If you want to go, I am not going make you come to TM straight away with me. I'll see you after."
I kissed Tig goodbye and said, "Well Abel, how do you feel about Aunt Reba coming along with you?"
Abel made a noise which made all of us laugh and Wendy said, "I think he likes the idea." I gave Tig one last kiss and he was off. I made sure I had my phone and locked up the house behind me. I was very grateful for the pocket knife Tig insisted I never leave the house without, and went outside to put Abel in his car seat. Then we were off to St. Thomas. In the car Wendy glanced over at me and said, "So, you and Tig, how's that going? Have you had fun yet?"
I grew red at Wendy's insinuation and said, "We are doing fantastic. We haven't had fun yet, and he never asks. It's like he knows, I'm just not ready to yet. He gets it. He stops us before we go far enough for me to have a panic attack. I can't get over how much I love him and the trivial things we do. Like this morning, we had a pillow fight. We are in our twenties and we fought with pillows. That's what we were doing when you yelled up for us."
Wendy started laughing again and said, "I'm glad you two are still doing so well. I think everyone is scared something is going to happen to you two and we aren't going to see you again."
I looked at Wendy and said, "I promise. I'm not going anywhere. Tig and I are too close. He isn't just my boyfriend or my partner, he's everything to me. I can tell him all my secrets without fear of judgement or pity. He understands. He is my best friend."
Wendy smiled and said, "I'm really glad you two found each other in this world."
After Abel's checkup Wendy brought me back to TM and I saw Tig on the swing set. I went to go join him and at the look on his face said, "Baby. Are you okay?"
Tig looked back over at me and said, "I am in a way, but I'm also not. Clay wants me to go on another trip with him. I'm okay because we're together, and I'm not because I really don't want to go, but Clay is insisting."
I got off my swing and moved to stand in front of Tig. I put my fingers under his chin and made him look at me. I said, "How long would it be for?"
Tig said, "I don't know baby. About a month, maybe less, maybe more. I don't really know. He wants me Chibs and Bobby to go."
I thought to myself 'well why would this asshole want to take all three of my guys on a trip' and said, "When does he want you guys to leave?"
Tig looked down at his feet and said, "Clay told us he wants us to be ready to go in about three hours. He wants us to run home and pack clothes for a month and a half to be on the safe side, then come back here, say goodbye and head out."
I threw a glare towards Clay and quickly looked back at Tig and said, "Okay baby, go get your stuff. Just please come back to me. If Clay wants you to go, you can't really say no. I am going to miss you, but I will see you when you get back, and you will come back because I really want to hit Clay."
Tig laughed and said, "Baby, you know I will definitely be back as soon as I can. I will text you or call you whenever I can. Send me a picture of your beautiful self every single morning I'm gone when you first wake up. I hate to ask this of you love, but while I'm gone, can you please stay here at night? I just, it's safer here than anywhere when we're gone because most of the girls and the other members stay here."
I looked at Tig and said, "Okay. I will stay here and I promise to send you a good morning selfie every day that you're gone. I love you Tig."
Tig got the smile he only reserved for me and said, "I know baby I love you too. So much."
He kissed me and then went to pack his bag. I went over to Uncle Bobby and Chibs who were standing near Happy and Sarah and hugged Chibs. Uncle Bobby pulled me from Chibs and into a hug of his own. Chibs looked at me and said, "Did Tig tell ye?" I nodded my head and he said, "Aye, I figured, please stay here at the clubhouse while we are gone."
I said, "I know that bit too. Tig already asked me. I can't promise I'm not going to bring some of your shirts and his shirts here though."
Uncle Bobby chimed in and said, "Stay safe little McEntire."
I nodded at Uncle Bobby and said, "I'm more concerned about you three."
When Tig got back I hugged all three of my boys then kissed Tig goodbye and they left. To keep myself from crying I finally decided to check my phone. I saw I had 63 missed calls and 25 text messages from an unknown number. The last two texts said, 'On my way to Charming' and 'Will be there soon'. As I was about to redial the number another texted buzzed through which said, 'Pulling into Teller Morrow now' I looked up and sure enough a truck was pulling into TM. I started panicking when the truck was parked and the driver's door opened. Ravi stepped down out of the truck and I ran to him and gave him the biggest hug of my life.
I wasn't registering anything but I was so happy Ravi was here. I had missed him so much, but then like a bucket of ice water it hit me. He was alone. Mum hadn't gotten out of the truck. I looked up at Ravi and said, "What are you doing here? Where's mum?"
I saw it all play across his face, then I noticed his eyes were glistening like he was about to cry and he whispered two words that shattered my entire world. "She's dead."
