Page 42 of Raven's Daggers
Chuckling, I close our thread and open up a text to Naomi.
Me- Hey, wanna help us set up an outdoor movie night for Raven and the kids at the safe houses? I heard she likes it out there.
Naomi- Yeah she does, jeeze y'all are always getting me involved lol you remember she hates surprises right?
Me- Yeah I know and don’t care, cause she will love this one.
Naomi- Okay, whatever you say. Send me the deets and I’ll sneak out of the gym while Luis has her busy.
Me- I’m sure he has her busy alright.
Naomi- Ugh gross, keep y'alls sex life to yourself. She’s basically my sister.
Laughing, I send her the list of all the things we need and slide my phone back into my pocket. Picking up the tools, I begin to work on the bike in the garage.
Forty five minutes later, the bike is all put back together. Feeling my phone buzzing in my pocket, I wipe my hands off and pull it from my pocket.
Naomi- Got it all, headed to the safehouses. Sierra is going to help me get it ready to surprise her and the kids.
Me- Thank you, I’ll definitely owe you one…. Or a few lol
Closing out her thread and realizing I haven’t texted Raven, I open our group chat.
Me- Happy Birthday Baby Girl ?? don’t let them work you too hard.
Luis- Happy Birthday Bella Ragazza ??
Damien- Happy Birthday Angel, kick Luis’s ass ??
Little Devil- Ha, it’s more like I’m working them. Thanks guys. Don’t worry Cassanova, I'll kick his ass alright. ??
This girl and all her attitude, never a dull moment. Putting my phone away, I hurry and finish up at the shop. I’m ready to go see my girl.
Meeting the guys and Raven at the gym parking lot, I’m the last one here. Getting off my bike and walking over to Raven’s, I hold my hand out for her coms. Linking it, I kiss the top of her helmet before I link the others as well. Hopping back on my bike, we look at each other and nod.Let’s fucking goooo.Pulling out onto the highway, we ride side by side.
“Who’s down to get their ass kicked.” Raven starts chuckling, the sound filling my helmet. It’s the best sound I’ve heard all day.
“You can kick my ass anyday, Angel.” Damien replies, joining in on her giggling.
“Bet. I’ll make sure to leave your ass back here with the goofs, Princess.” Luis challenges and I don’t even have to see her face to know that’s a challenge she’s going to accept.
“I’ll leave all your asses in the dust.” I chuckle, taking off before anyone says anything else. Never looking back and tucking myself in, I'm pulling away from everyone. Next thing I know, Raven is zooming past me, her purple lights on her bike a flash as she flies. Damien and Luis come up to either side of me and we all chuckle.
“We all knew we weren't taking that win.” I’m full on laughing at this point and so are they. Looking up ahead, we’re catching back up to Raven who is standing up on her bike, both hands in the air giving us the middle finger. That does nothing but make our laughter grow.
Coming up next to her, I start vibing and dancing on the bike as Luis and Damien drive by us, popping their bike up in a wheelie. Sitting back down, me and her pull up and do a wheelie with them, riding it out. Setting the bikes back down, we’re all laughing at this point.
“Thanks guys, this is the best birthday. Night riding is my favorite.” She states, her tone full of awe.
“This isn’t all we had planned, Bella Ragazza. Come on, we’ll lead the way.” Luis states, taking up the front. Putting her in the middle, me and Damien take up the back.
“So ‘Bella Ragazza’. You going to tell me what that means yet?” She questions, me and Luis give a quick glance to each other before we chuckle.
“It means beautiful or pretty girl. Hence why I called you Pretty Girl for so long.” Luis informs her, looking back at her for a second, then back at the road.
“Do you both speak Italian? Or just you?” She asks another question.Someone’s curious tonight.
“Technically, we can both speak some. We were both born there, but moved here when we were young. Our mother tried to make sure we kept up with our Italian roots.” I reply back and she lets out a low hum sound.
