it?” I asked, holding up the dark blue satin
material.
“It’s a dress,” she said rolling her eyes.
“Where’s the rest of it?”
“Ella, live a little.”
I sighed and got up to get ready. The dress was
strapless and just covered my butt. I made a mental note to
remember to not bend over. The blue satin matched my streaks and I
have a feeling that’s why Josie picked it. I wore my hair down and
Josie did my make-up. It was heavier then I would have done, but
Josie insisted it completed my look. Then she handed me a pair of
strappy silver heels and said we were to meet everyone in the
lobby.
Chapter three
“Damn Ella, where you’d get that dress? Hookers R
us,” Dean said. He gave me a look that said he clearly did not
approve of his little sister wearing something so scantily clad.
“You couldn’t find something that maybe actually covered you?”
“Not my choice,” I mumbled walking past him. No need
to start a fight now. “Is everyone ready?” I asked.
“We just have to wait for Josef,” Cameron replied.
“He should be here any minute.”
“I didn’t know we would be babysitting tonight,” Dean
complained.
“Dean, knock it off,” I warned. As usual he ignored
me. I fidgeted with the hem of my dress trying to pull it down as
far as I could until we heard a rumble of motors. I looked around
to see Josie and Cameron shrug. Billy and Dean exchanged a look. I
decided to step outside to check it out for myself. I tugged at my
dress as I walked out, feeling over exposed. Josie swiped my hand
away saying it was fine. I stifled an eye roll and searched for the
cause of the noise.
In the distance I spotted a pack of bikers, who just
so happened to be coming right for us. I took a step back. The
biker leading the pack pulled right up next to me and took off his
helmet. “Hey Ella.”
“Josef,” I said surprised. His eyes widened as he
looked me up and down making me feel self-conscious. His cheeks
flushed red when Dean cleared his throat, indicating he was staring
longer then he should have.
“Um…yeah, hey,” he stuttered.
“You already said that,” I teased, making him blush
more.
“Sorry I…”
“It’s okay,” I smiled. “Are these your friend’s?” I
gestured to the other bikers hoping to distract his gawking
eyes.
“Yeah, I hope you don’t mind. I thought they could
help,” he said uneasy.
“No, I don’t mind. It would help to have a few extra
set of eyes,” I told him. “Are we just going to follow you
then?”
“I thought it would be better if you rode with us,”
he said.
“Okay,” I looked around. “Is there someone else
coming in a car?” He gestured to the motorcycles. “You’re kidding,
right?”
“It’s easier this way. Hop on.” He held out his
hand.
I looked down at my dress and then back at Josef who
was waiting expectantly. “This isn’t going to work.”
“There’s enough of us that we can all ride,” he said,
not understanding my issue.
I shook my head. “That’s not what I meant.” I pointed
to my outfit making him blush again.
He got off his bike and handed me his jacket. “Here,
this should help,” he said, helping me put it on.
“Thank you.” I looked back to my friends and noticed
Billy was admiring one of the bikes, going on about I didn’t even
know what. I knew nothing about motorcycles. From what I could
gather from the conversation he had one back home, but had to give
it up. The guy offered to let him ride it and I’ve never seen Billy
so giddy. Josie hopped on the back squeezing Billy tight while
Cameron got cozy with one of the bikers who looked like Jax from
‘The Sons of Anarchy’. If I got to choose I would have picked him
as well. Not normally into the rugged type but, hello, have you
seen Charlie Hunnam on S.O.A.? Holy-hotness-batman.
“I’m sorry but I’m not riding bitch,” Dean
whined.
“Dean, I’m not in the mood for this,” I said, glaring
at him.
“Dean, you
