“We want you to go into business with us. We want to buy Rowdy’s. Together. The three of us. Thought we could call it Rowdy Brother’s Bar.”
I don’t know if I want to deck him or hug him.
“Come on, bro. you know you want that bar. I have so
many ideas. We could make some serious cash. I got an in with a guy on the circuit to host a rodeo here next summer. The money that would bring us alone would be fucking killer.”
“You’re serious about this?”
“Fuck yeah I’m serious. I don’t joke about money. So, are you in?”
“I want an apology for the shit you tried to pull with Hattie. Fucking telling her I knocked Cassie up was low. Even for you.”
He nods. “You’re right. Kiesha has had my head so fucked up. We were fucking and things were going good until I went out of town. I came back and heard you were seen at her trailer. I jumped to conclusions thinking it was my payback for fucking Lanie. I’m sorry. I was a dick.” He holds his hand out. “Are we good?”
I look down at his hand and then I punch him in the face. He goes down hard on his ass. “Now we’re good.”
He cups his nose and says, “I deserved that.”
“You did.” Hattie smirks, coming up next to me and hugging her arms around my waist. “Only question now is…what are you going to do about Kiesha? She pretty much hates you.”
“I’m going to claim what’s mine.” He grins as blood drips down his chin.
Stepping away from Hattie, I hold my hand out and help him.
“Good luck with that, man, she’s feisty.”
“Damn if that isn’t the truth.” He laughs and winces. “I think you broke my nose.”
“Don’t be a pussy. You ride bulls for Christ sake,” Hattie says and we all laugh.
Leaning down to meet her lips I know that someday soon I’m going to marry her.
Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed book 1 of the Rowdy Brothers.
