available. We walked through the entrance to the patio, made our way to the table, and sat down.
    “We snagged the last one,” I chuckled as we sat down on the stools.
    “Yeah, the patio here is crazy in the summer. Always busy. I’ll get one of the girls to wipe this down,” she said as she walked toward the door that led inside the restaurant.
    I heard motorcycles coming, and looked out to the street to see if it was Erik and Teddy. They were leading, with two other motorcycles behind them I didn’t immediately recognize. My heart raced as I sat down. No matter how frequently I saw Erik, each time excited me as much as the first.
    “Kelli Parks,” a voice said from behind me.
    I turned around toward the familiar voice. Oh God. Tommy whatever his last name is. I smiled and turned toward the parking lot and watched the guys park their bikes. I felt a shadow over my shoulder and turned toward the patio.
    Tommy still stood there with a beer in his hand.
    “You just gonna act like you don’t know me?” he hoisted his beer mug to his mouth.
    “Hi Tommy. I’m meeting someone,” I said as I turned toward the parking lot.
    “Cool, we can make it a threesome,” he laughed from behind my back.
    “Fuck off. It’s a guy, asshole. I am meeting a guy . Just leave me alone,” I snapped as I turned around to face him.
    “I don’t give a shit if you’re meetin’ someone. All I’m trying to do is talk to you,” he argued.
    “Look, I’m sorry . I haven’t seen you in years. I am with someone now. It’s nice to see you again, but I just want left alone,” I begged in a soft tone, facing him again.
    I wanted him to be gone before Erik got to the table. I didn’t want Erik to be mad because I was talking to another guy. And I sure didn’t want him to be mad because I had talked to this douchebag.   I didn’t even want Erik to see him near me. I turned to the parking lot and watched as Erik and the other guys got off of their bikes.
    “Fuck it. Whatever,” he said as he turned and walked away.
    Thank God. What a creep.
    As Erik and the rest of the guys entered the patio area, Heather came from inside the restaurant onto the patio.
    “Was that Tommy?” Heather had a puzzled look on her face.
    “Yes, be quiet. I told him I was with Erik, and asked him to leave. I don’t want Erik to know, so be quiet,” I whispered.
    As the guys were walking across the patio she mouthed the word, “Okay”.
    “Easter, Shakey, this is Kelli and Heather. Ladies, this is Easter and Shakey,” Erik said as they walked up to the table.
    Each of the new guys held their hands out and politely shook our hands. It was easy to remember their names, because it was on the front of their vests. Easter was about as tall as Erik, but not as big. He had a shaved head and tattoos all over his arms. Shakey was older, maybe in his early forties, and had short salt and pepper hair and no visible tattoos. He was average size, and several inches shorter than Erik.
    Both were wearing jeans, boots, black tee shirts, and leather vests like Erik and Teddy’s.
    Teddy hugged me, and turned to Heather, and hugged her. As he embraced Heather, Erik put his arms around me and hugged me as he kissed my lips lightly.
    “How was your day, baby girl?” Erik asked as he pulled away from my lips.
    “It was okay. We were eating across the street when you texted me,” I responded, then wished I would have said something else.
    “You really like that place, don’t you?” he said as he turned toward the waitress.
    As Erik got the attention of the waitress, I pointed at Heather, “She picked it,” I whispered.
    “Never again,” Heather blurted out.
    “What can I get you guys,” the waitress asked.
    “Bud Light?” Erik asked as he looked around the table.
    Everyone nodded.
    “Four Bud Light’s and two waters?” Erik looked at me as he said ‘water’.
    I nodded toward him proudly.
    “Two waters and four Bud Light’s,” he reassured the
