Psycho - Headless Horsemen MC novel Chapter 68

- Harley -

"Everythings spinning but this is the best day of my life," Shelby says as she holds onto the bar infront of her "What about your kids being born?" I ask looking over to her "Okay second best day" She replies nodding to herself. I look down at my phone and see its only 11 pm, "Little Red it's 11 and I'm ready for bed" I say pouting "Absolutely not, were not old remember!" She says shoving a shot into my hand, we both down them and slam the glasses onto the bar top.

"it's an awful shame for such pretty women to be out by themselves" I hear a grimy voice say from behind me say over the music, I turn around a see a man around 40 years old with peppered hair and short stubble approaching Shelby and I at the bar "It's an awful shame you approached us" I retort as he stops infront of us. I lean my back against the bar and pull Shelby into my side.

"I think you should walk away while you still can," I say staring up at him, he's easily a head taller than me but that's never stopped me before. "I'll see you two around" He begins to turn around but stops, he then looks me straight in the eyes "Harley" He nods his head at me and walks off back into the crowd.

"How did he know your name?" Shelby asks pulling on my arm while I try to find him but I lose sight, "I don't know, but I'll find out". I turn back around and Val shoves another drink infront of me giving me a knowing look, the look of "If you're going to explode at least give me a chance to get the customers out".

I grab the drink and grab onto Shelby's hand with my free one and drag her to the table that Blade is sitting at. "I need you to keep an eye out for someone, about 40, a little taller than I, grey and black hair, short stubble. Leather jacket and black jeans with a white shirt. If you find him grab him and take him into the alleyway I need a word with him" They all nod and I turn around and come face to face with Shelby.

"Are you going to tell me what's going on?" She asks sipping on her drink, "Just playing boss lady Little Red, no need to worry. I need a smoke, stay with Blade" I pinch one of her cheeks before skipping out the front doors for a cigarette. Val yelled at me for flicking my ash on the floor and not the ashtrays, it's not my fault I forgot they're there.

I lean up against the cold brick wall and lean my head against it too, I place the cigarette inbetween my lips, light it and inhale when the sound of the doors swinging open interrupt my peaceful moment. The same man from before comes out and looks around before spotting me, he stops in his tracks and walks back over to me "I suggest you leave before my husband finds you out here" I say looking down at the floor infront of me but keeping an eye on him out of the corner of my eye.

"Oh, Harley I know your husband isn't here" I stand up straight and adjust myself before turning to face him fully, I inhale again and blow the smoke out in his face "You've got 10 seconds to tell me how you know my name if I don't like your answer I'll break your nose". I flick the ash off my cigarette and start to count down "10, 9, 8, 7, 6-" I begin "Everyone around here knows who you are" He quickly spits out but I know he's lying, his mouth twitched slightly it didn't when he was telling me the truth.

"5, 0" I smile at him and throw my cigarette to the side, I stamp down on his foot and he bends down in pain. I bring my knee up and smash his head down simultaneously breaking his nose and walk back inside, Blade and Shelby come charging up to me like 2 mad bulls and drag me into the workers change rooms. "Why do you have blood on you?" Blade asks while Shelby looks over me for any injuries "I didn't like someones answer" I say while shrugging and shooing them away from me.

I walk out fo the room and back to the bar to be met by Val "Harley" She says sternly, "No need to worry Val I took care of it" She nods her head and turns around but I don't think she believes me, I mean as long as the dickhead got the idea and leaves me alone there will be nothing to worry about right? "Harley teach me how to dance," Shelby says as she pulls me from my spot and up to the pole on the stage.

We climb up there and I stand Shelby infront of the pole "Everyone's looking at us" She says looking back at me. I smile and spin myself around the pole until I'm face to face with her again "What did you expect? You're on a stage with a stripper pole. Just ignore them, let the music take you over" I say as I close my eyes and grind my body against the pole. I open my eyes and move to the side yanking Shelby over to me, "Just put your hands there and hold on tight, when you're confident try and twirl around without falling over your feet".
