My Bad Boy's Gang novel Chapter 23

"Load up!" Craig instructed and the guys were loading the trucks up. We were leaving the cathedral, since the guys got whatever they need to pawn it.

Chloe still doesn't believe me and is 'claiming he territory' every second she gets, by sexually kissing Ryker and whispering seductive things into his ear, and playing with the hem and collar of his shirt.

My eyes narrowed at them in the distance, and I wanted nothing more but for it to stop. We were in the field along the rail-road tracks and their was a breeze.

It got a lot warmer and I was just in black skinny jeans, black t-shirt, and a black beanie.

"Rain" Melanie said and I looked at her "Yes"?

"Do you like Ryker"? She asked innocently, and I sighed and tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear "Yes, I do".

"Then why is he kissing Chloe"? She asked, and I said "Because he like's Chloe".

Melanie frowned "But Chloe's mean".

I nodded "I know, but hopefully it'll pass soon".

"Can you date Ryker"? She asked and I chuckled "If I could, I would".

She grinned ear-to-ear and her eyes lit up "You guys can get married! And you could be my sister then!"

I smiled slightly "I don't know about marriage..."

"Rain! Let's go!" Neil yelled and I walked over and set Melanie down on the ground, and Leah took her.

I got in the truck and sat in the middle between Ryker and Liz in the back-seat.

"Where's Chloe"? I asked curiously and raised an eyebrow.

"I told her she had to ride in the other truck" Ryker said causally and took out his phone.

"Why"? I asked, not that I was complaining or anything".

Ryker looked at me and leaned closer and whispered "So I could be with you", and my cheeks went red.

I whispered "Nice background" and mimicked Ryker from yesterday. He raised an eyebrow then turning his phone on and his lock-screen was a picture of me.

It was a selfie I took, where I had one eye closed and I was smiling, and had my tongue stuck out. I saw Ryker's lips tug into a smile.

"Yeah I know, one of my personal favorites. She's beautiful" He said and smirked at me. I pressed my lips in a thin line, as my stomach erupted in butterflies.

Ryker Anderson

Liz grinned like a mad-woman and I raised an eyebrow "What"?

"Oh nothing" She said in a sing-song voice and I rolled my eyes.

Rain fell asleep with her head on my shoulder. Will pulled up to the track, and parked.

We have a race tonight so we're taking a few test runs before it starts.

I sighed and said softly "Rain. Rain, wake up", and tapped her shoulder. She opened her eyes slowly and yawned.

I smiled at how cute she was when she yawned. "Come on" I said and got out of the truck. I picked Rain up and carried her.

Chloe's eyes widened and she pouted. Rain nuzzled her head into the crook of my neck, and my lips tugged into smile.

She was exhausted, she only slept for about an hour last night and I know because I was up all night with her.

"Alright, get going" Craig instructed.

"Rain, you're racing tonight, so let's go"Craig nodded towards the skyline.

"I thought I was benched" She said, and Craig sent her a warning look "Go, Rain".

She ran a hand threw her hair then throwing a beanie on the back of her head quickly and walked over to me and put her hand out for the keys.

"I don't like when you drive" I clenched my jaw.

"Really Ryker? We're not going threw this again" She narrowed her piercing blue eyes at me.

I don't want Rain racing, because it gets brutal and competitive when they're racing out there, and I don't want her getting hurt, and we fought about her racing.

"I'm not giving you the keys" I stated stern, and she gave me an Are-You-Serious-We-Are-Not-Doing-This-Right-Now look.

"Give me the fucking keys!" She groaned and Chloe walked over and put a hand on my shoulder "Babe give her the keys, I'm sure she knows how to drive".

Rain quickly grabbed the keys from my hand and smirked as she dangled the keys in her fingers then walking off and getting in the Skyline.

Rain was driving laps, and Vince came up and stood beside me as we both watched her sped around the track.

"She got game, that's for sure" Vince stated and I nodded in agreement.

There was a few moments of silence and Vince smirked "So..dude, do you like her"?

I clenched my jaw and said stern "No".

"LIAR!" Vince called me out, and I rolled my eyes "I don't".

"Really? Then why are you so caring for her? I mean you wouldn't care if Chloe raced, would you"? Vince tested.

I rolled my eyes "Chloe is just some bang".

Vince asked "You two already bang.....damn.....you couldn't get Rain, so you went to your Ex-Girlfriend, not cool Anderson".

"It was the night she came back, alright!? I don't know...but I haven't seen Chloe in forever and things just kind of happened.." I trailed off and shrugged.

Vince rolled his eyes then taking out a pack of cigarettes and handing one to me, and I pulled a lighter out of my pocket and lit the cigarette then putting it between my lips and blowing out a puff of smoke out.

Rain finished up the rounds and climbed out of the window then walking up to me and handing me the keys "See, now was that so bad"? She chuckled and smiled.

I took the keys "But you're not racing against anyone" I pointed out.

"Whatever" She rolled her eyes "I have to go home anyways, bye".

Vince hugged her and she jogged over to Liz and Leah to say 'Goodbye'.

"For fuck-sakes, Ryker! Go!" Vince nodded towards Rain. I jogged over and she hugged Leah and Liz goodbye and started to walk away.

I grabbed her wrist and whirled her around to me "Where do you think you're going"? I smirked. "Home......"? She trailed off.

I pulled her into a hug and she was stiff at first but then hugged me back, and I rested my chin on her shoulder "Drive safe".

She nodded and pulled away "I will" she smiled slightly. I kissed her cheek and she blushed, and squeezed my hand "Bye Ryker".

"Bye Rain" I smiled and she let go of my hand and walked away.

Rain Thompson

"Rain!" Joel yelled and I ran around the pool, and tried to not slip since I was wet from being in the pool. The cold air hit my body, since I was only in a bikini.

Joel grabbed my by the waist but I quickly got out of his grip and jumped into the pool, and Joel glared at me since he was in normal clothes and couldn't go in the pool.

I smirked and floated on my back "Nice Try"!

"I'm going to fucking kill you"! He gritted "You can't stay in that pool all night".

I told Alex that Joel liked her, and now I'm 'dead meat'. But they've been out on so many dates it shouldn't even matter anymore.

THEY ARE BASICALLY TOGETHER!

He walked inside and I quickly swam to the end and got out. I ran around the front of the house and it was dark out, but the lights from the house shined the outside.

There was a honk from a car, and I turned around to see the gang crammed into two cars, and I jogged down and Will asked "What the hell are you in soaking wet for, and in a bathing suit"?

"Being thrown into a pool by my brothers, that's what I was doing" I said, and Liz said "You forgot your phone" and handed it to me.

I nodded and took it.

"Fucking Rain Eliza"! Jax yelled from inside and I laughed victoriously.

"What the hell is going on in your house"? Vince asked.

"Well Jax is yelling because I duck taped his door shut" I smirked proudly.

They all looked at me amused.

"You want to come in? My dad's out on a business meeting" I offered. "What about your brothers"? Leah asked.

I shrugged "They wouldn't care".

"Yes! I want to go!" Faith cheered and they all nodded "Yeah, fine". They all got out and I walked up the driveway and to the door.

I walked in and Chloe asked "You live here"?!

I nodded slightly and bit my lip..I never liked showing off how much money my family has, or the luxuries we have.

I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around myself.

Ryan, Jax, and Joel all came down and gave a shocked look and smiled "Hey Liz" they said in unison and muttered "Ryker".

"This is Craig, Vince, Reece, Peter, Will, Neil, Leah, Faith, Melanie, Chloe and you know Liz and Ryker. This is Jax, Ryan, and Joel" I introduced and pointed to each person.

"Uh....I'm going to get changed...since someone threw me in the pool" I glared at Joel.

"Well maybe if you didn't tell Alex I like her!" Joel declares and I rolled my eyes and teased "You soooo like her!" and stuck my tongue out at him.
