black leather jacket, in his big hands he had two
helmets.
“Good morning,” he said watching
her finish tying her shoes.
“Good morning, let me have some
more coffee, would you like a cup?” Hailey offered.
“Thanks.”
Walking over to the counter, he sat
down on one of the bar chairs as she brought him a cup and began to pour.
Handing him the sugar and cream, he poured them into his cup and they both
drank their coffee in silence. He then asked, “Do you know what we are going to
be doing today?”
“Probably just organizing clothes
along with some food and toys I think, I honestly don’t know really but more
than likely it’s what I just said. So are you ready to go?” she asked as he
stood back up taking their cups to the sink. When she turned around, he handed
her a helmet as they walked on out the door. When she saw the bike, this thing
was huge, shiny and long. The only thing that was running through her head at
that moment was how in the hell was she going to get on this thing.
“Okay, how are we going to do
this?” Hailey asked. He started laughing at her question.
“Don’t be scared, once you get on,
you’ll enjoy it. Now I will get on like this,” he said and Hailey watched his
long leg go over the other side of the bike to level it for her to get on. “Now
you come and straddle the bike and get behind me.” Walking over to the bike,
she slowly got behind him trying her best to get comfortable. She could feel
herself against his back, pressing up against it crushing her chest a bit.
Something warmed inside of her with having a man this close. “Now put your feet
up on these bars here, good, put your arms around my waist and hold on, but not
too tight cause I do have to breathe.” Brad chuckled and started up the cycle.
Hailey could feel the rumble and her seat began to vibrate underneath her,
completely catching her off guard as they started their way to the mission.
Once they were riding, she found
herself enjoying the feel of the ride. It was like nothing she had ever experienced
before in her life. Just the feeling of the bike between her legs, the
vibrations it caused went right through her She would have never thought she
would ever be riding a motorcycle, especially with a biker and especially a
white man. It didn’t take them long however to get to the mission and now she
wished the ride had lasted longer.
They got right to work once inside
the mission. Splitting up, Hailey was busy folding and organizing clothes and
shoes, while Brad was helping some of the men with heavier things. Hailey
looked over watching him walking by with a box in his arms, wearing that white
t-shirt making her wonder why the hell she even looked his way.
“Where the
hell did he come from looking like that?”
He was already sweating while
strands of hair from his ponytail slicked onto the back of his neck. Rolled up
sleeves showed muscles that were ripped along those heavily tattooed arms of
his, she could tell that he must work out. Then she remembered that night when
he was with that woman, how he looked cemented deeply within her mind.
“Is that your boyfriend?” asked one
of the older ladies she always had seen at the mission helping out.
“No ma’am, he’s my neighbor.”
Hailey smiled folding a young girl’s top.
The older lady smiled and said,
“Well he’s a handsome young man, you better snatch him up before someone else
gets him.”
Hailey laughed at her response
while continuing to fold some more clothes. Thinking all along about what she
had said, there was no way whatsoever that she could see herself with a man
like Brad Matthews.
On the lunch break Hailey had gone
over by a tree to sit in the shade. She saw Brad come from inside as he walked
over to joined her. “How are things going so far?” asked Hailey biting into her
sandwich.
“I haven’t worked this hard since I
was working for my friend’s dad at his hardware store when I was young. But
it’s all going for a
