Chapter Two-Hundred and Thirty
Claire hesitated as John offered her a helmet, balling her hands in the cuffs of his leather jacket. "What if we wreck?" She asked, trying to get John to let them take her car.
He rolled his eyes, pulling her hand toward him. "We won't wreck, Sweets. Trust me. I'll protect you."
She sighed, taking the helmet and pulling it on. "You're an idiot." She laughed, wrapping her arms around his waist and tucking her nose into the crook of his neck.
He chuckled, starting the bike up and using his foot to shift it into gear with the pedal. "I'm your idiot." He twisted the throttle, turning onto the street and following the rest of the family to the restaurant that Dominic and Jade had decided on.
Amelia bounced over to John and Claire, climbing onto his lap as he handed Johanna to Frank to let him burp her. "Are Dominic and Jade gonna have babies?" She watched as Dominic placed his hand over Jade's stomach.
He chuckled, nodding as Dominic and Jade kissed. "I think they're gonna have kids sooner than we thought."
"Well, if it isn't our little faggot and his tribe." Leon's voice spoked from right behind John and Claire, making the kid jump.
John stood, placing Amelia on the chair as he turned to look at Leon and his snake of a niece. "Leon, Jess, don't do this here." He stepped toward them, letting Jessica shove him into the table.
"You fucking bitch!" She shouted at Jade, throwing a class of pop at her. "You betrayed us!"
Jade pressed to Dominic's side, fear rising in her stomach. "I didn't-"
John's hand wrapped around Jessica's arm, his muscles rippling with hidden strength as he pulled her away from the family. "Get out." He ordered, grabbing Leon's arm and escorting them to the door. "I don't give a shit what you do to me, but don't ever attack my family again."
Leon moved to grab John by the throat, his vision going red. "You little-" He stopped short when John didn't flinch away like he usually did, terror rising in his chest as the teen stayed completely calm and docile.
"Go home, Leon." He stated, turning away and walking back to the family. "You and Jess don't belong here." He picked up Amelia as she rushed to him, placing her on his hip and resting his hand on Phoebe's shoulder while they walked back to their table.
"He's got a daughter…" Leon gave an evil grin, the image of the little girl with John's eyes going into a file folder in his mind.
