Chapter 2
Waking up the next morning, I am still snuggled into Gilly's chest. As he starts to stir, he kisses the top of my head and I am feeling a little better. "Morning babe." he says. "Morning boo." I say. I look up at him and he asks "How are you feeling?" I snuggle into him more and say "Better. Thank you for staying. I really hate this shit but seems like you're the only one that can get me past it." I tell him. "Look at me." he says. I look up at him and he says "I love you. You're my best friend. I will always have your back. You hear me?" he asks. "Yeah Gilly. I love you too. You don't know how much I do." I tell him and snuggle back into him. "Taza's worried about you." he tells me. "I know. He always treats me like I'm his kid." I tell him. "To him you are." he tells me. I look up at him and we just look at each other. He caresses my cheek like he always does before kissing my forehead and I sigh and snuggle into him.
We walk out to the main room and as soon as we do, I walk over to Taza and hug him. "Morning Papa." I say and he smiles. "How are you feeling Mija?" he asks. "Better I think. Just needed Gilly to make things better." I tell him and I look at Gilly and he's smiling a little. "What happened?" he asks. "Boyfriend dumped me. Telling me he fell for someone else and it triggered my depression." I tell him. He cups my chin and says "You deserve better Mija. Never settle." he tells me and I nod. I walk back over to Gilly and he pulls me into his side and that's where I stay. Anytime we're at the clubhouse, I am usually snuggled into his side or in his lap. We're always together. "You hungry?" Gilly asks as he looks down at me. "A little." I tell him. "Good. Let's go eat." he tells me and we head out to his bike.
Getting on the back of his bike, I wrap my arms around him and we head out to the diner. Getting a booth, me on one side and him on the other, we order our food. "I have a proposition for you." he tells me. "What's that?" I ask as I take a bite of bacon. "We're not getting any younger." he tells me and I nod. "Both of us have had shit luck with relationships. Hell, the only relationship we've been able to hold together is ours. What would you say to if we aren't married in two years, we marry each other. I want a family someday and I know you do too." he tells me. "Married?" I ask. "Yeah. We give it two years and if we're still single, we say fuck it and get married and have a family." he tells me and I look down at my plate. "You love me?" he asks. I look up at him and say "Yeah I do." I tell him. "And I love you. We're best friends. Who better to settle with than our best friend?" he asks. "Yeah. Okay. Two years and we give up and get married." I tell him. He takes out a pen from his kutte and I grab a piece of paper from my purse and we write out the pact.
After we eat, we head back to the clubhouse. "Reaper run." Bishop tells Gilly. He looks at me and I say "I'm okay. Go." He kisses my cheek and walks out the door with his brothers. I sit at the bar and think about what Gilly said. Two years and we get married. I look at my coffee cup and am thinking about things. I love Gilly. He's the only one that can get me through shit. He's the one that I come to when shit gets to me and I know he loves me. Shit. Then again, there's no way he's serious about this shit. Fuck. "You okay Jenna?" Chucky asks me. I look up at him and say "Yeah. Just thinking about shit. Can you tell Gilly I'll be at home?" I ask and he nods. I walk out the door and to my car.
Pulling up at home, there's a box on my doorstep. I look at the box and it's all the things that I had at Josh's house. He must have packed them up and brought them while I was with Gilly. I pick up the box and carry it into the house and start going through it. There are pictures and stuffed animals. The keychain I bought him. The scrapbook I made him. Shit. I open the book, sitting in the middle of the bed and am lost in thought, looking at pictures when the bed dips down. I wipe the tear and look up to see Gilly sitting there. "Hey babe." he says. "Hey boo." I say before kissing his cheek. "What's this?" he asks. "All my shit from Josh's. He must have brought it over while I was gone." I tell him and he nods. "You gonna be okay?" he asks. "Yeah. I will be. I got you don't I?" I ask and he smiles softly. "Gilly?" I ask. "Yeah babe." he says as he takes the box and puts it on the floor. He lays down and pulls me to him and I snuggle up with him like I always do. "Were you serious about the pact?" I ask. "Yeah. Look, neither of us are getting any younger and this way we have a backup plan." he says and I just nod. He kisses the top of my head and says "You need to get ready. There's a party tonight." he says. I look at him and he says "You get to kick back and relax. I got you." he tells me. I kiss his cheek and head to the shower.
After getting showered and dressed, we head to the clubhouse on the back of his bike. We are sitting there, him in a chair and me in his lap like we always are and the guys are telling stories. I find myself laughing and drinking more and more. We see the reaper men pull up and they come over and are hanging out. Happy and Quinn. "This your Old Lady Gilly?" Quinn asks. I start laughing and he says "Nah. My best friend." Quinn looks at me and asks "Sweetbutt?" I shake my head no and say "Nope. Just his friend." I tell him and I feel Gilly pulling me closer. We are still drinking and I feel him nuzzle his nose against my neck and it feels amazing. We're both drunk and he starts placing soft kisses to my neck. This isn't the first time Gilly and I have been like this, him being affectionate to lay claim on me to keep others from messing with me. But we never let it affect our friendship. I run my nails down the back of his head and neck and hear him sigh. "Just friends huh?" I hear Happy ask and I look at him and he's smirking. I turn my attention back to Gilly and whisper "Let's head to bed." I say and he nods. "Night guys." I say and we head towards the dorm with both of us drunk as hell and staggering.
Lying in bed, I snuggle into him and start placing soft kisses to his chest and kiss my way up. "What are you doing?" he asks, smirking at me. "I need you Gilly." I say softly. He caresses my face and sees tears in my eyes again. "Make me forget." I tell him. He crashes his lips with mine and we both start shedding clothes. He hovers over me and I feel him at my entrance. "Love me Gilly." I rasps. He enters me slowly and starts thrusting in and out, hard and fast and I lose myself in the pleasure he's giving me. "Fuck you feel so good Jen." he rasps. "Gil, don't stop. Fuck baby. Fuck my pussy." I moan and his thrusts get harder and faster until I find my release and he finds his right behind me, inside me. He lays beside me and pulls me into his side and that's how we fall asleep.
