When the meeting broke, I pulled Lex aside and told her to take Gingersnap with her to get somethinâ from the saddlebags for me. A couple of the other ladies were already over there sifttinâ around for their shit.
âYeah, itâs kinda small, but ya canât miss it.â
I watched them walk off and felt really proud of how far sheâd come in such a short time and the friendship with Lex was somethinâ I could really see beinâ something beyond club sisters. It made me happy and was just one more reason to believe Gingersnap was gonna stick around.
There was a loud squeal and I did a half-sprint to where the girls were standinâ.
âCrucifix! Thereâs somethinâ in my olâ manâs bike and Iâm sure itâs not mine. It better belong to you or your olâ lady!â
It was hard to hold in the smile, but I got to my bike and nudged Gingersnap in the arm. âBaby, did you leave somethinâ in the wrong bag or somethinâ? Go check.â
Lexi pushed her forward and they walked over together. There was squeal from a different girl.
âWell, how do ya like them apples? Crucifix, are you leavinâ your shit all over the place these days or what?â She was Hazardâs ride-along of the moment and had a brash Jersey girl accent. âYa got stuff over here, over there . . . whatâs the deal?â
Lex looked into the first girlâs bag and pulled out a leather vest. âHey, Snaps, is this yours? Iâm wearinâ mine.â
Gingersnap shook her head and shrugged. âNo. I donât have one. You know that.â
Lex unwrapped it and gave it a good once-over. âNah, Gingersnap, this can only be yours . . . see, look what it says.â
Gingersnap took the vest Lexi was thrustinâ at her and saw the road name patch and then flipped it over and started laughinâ. âOh, my God! It says âproperty of Crucifixâ! Seriously? Is this mine?â
âI dunno . . . last time I checked I didnât have another olâ lady, but if any of you ladies know somethinâ different, lemme know.â Fi came over and threw her arms around me as I sat on the bike.
Lexi went over to Magicâs bike and called Gingersnap over. âAre you excited? I got ya somethinâ to go on it!â
The girls stood by the bike and Snaps was given a set of cool vest extenders and a keychain like the cross on my tank and another like a gingerbread cookie to hang off her new leather. She ran back around to me and stopped dead in her tracks.
âWhat in the world are you up to, Crucifix? That cannot even be mine.â
I laughed. âI woulda gotten you a dog, but do ya know how much of a bitch itâd be to walk one in the City?â I scratched under the chin of the fluffy black kitten on my lap. âIf ya donât like him . . . I mean, I could take him back. Poor guy was an orphan like us.â
âOh. My. God! I love him!â She was giddy when she grabbed the kitten gently out of my hands and kissed its nose. âIâve never had a pet before. You know how they were there. I canât believe heâs mine.â
âHeâs all yours, baby . . . look at his collar, youâll see.â My heart was as full as itâd ever been in my life.
She ran her fingers around, lookinâ for the red collar the girls had picked out for him. If they hadnât been makinâ such a great distraction for me, I woulda never been able to surprise her like that. I owed âem big time.
One.
Two.
Three.
âCrucifix . . . umm . . . Iâm confused. Heâs not wearing a collar.â She was bouncinâ nervously in her boots and I pulled it outta my pocket and handed it to her. âOh, sorry, babe. I forgot to put it on him. Check it out, though. See, heâs yours.â
I pulled her between my legs as she fiddled with the collar and the kitten. She started to do a little jump dance type thing, and Lexi grabbed the kitten out of her hands.
âIs this . . . really?â
âReally.â I took back the collar, unbuckled it, and switched spots with her so she was sittinâ on the bike. Then I knelt down. âFiona Katherine Farrell . . . will you finally marry me or what? Talk about a serious vow . . . the only one youâll ever have to keep. It says it all if you say that one little word . . . yes. Iâll never walk away from you again.â
âYes! Yes! Yes!â She wiggled on the seat and laughed. âOh, my God Crucifix!â
I grabbed her hand and slid the ring onto the finger of her left hand. Suddenly, the crowd of brothers and sisters whoâd gathered behind us started clappinâ.
âI told you we were takinâ back Brooklyn . . . itâs our place from here on out!â I stood up and grabbed the vest. âNow, ya gotta officially be my property . . . I mean, since youâre my fiancĂ© and all.â
When I wrapped the vest around her shoulders, I saw tears in her eyes. For the first time, she was cryinâ for a good reason and I was a happy motherfucker.
