Where We Belong novel (Ava and Blaze) novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144

I didn't know what to say couldn't seem to get any words out. The club wasn't full of the usual crowd tonight, only seemed to be club members their old lady's and my family.

"What are you doing?" I whispered looking around myself. All eyes on me and I was starting to feel very uncomfortable.

Taking a few steps toward me I took one back. "Blaze everyone is staring" I hissed. Even though I knew these people and they were family I still didn't like the attention.

"Chill babe I told you I needed to speak to you about something".

"And it has to be here in front of everyone?" I whispered still looking around myself. Catching sight of Ally she was wearing a shit eating grin, Jared was hanging off the bar smirking and everyone else just seemed to be in a really good mood.

"You know I love you right?" He asked louder than necessary catching everyone's attention. The club grew quiet like everyone was waiting for him to continue or something to happen.

"Y-yes" I stuttered

"Come here" Holding out his hand I stared at it, once again I took a look around the club. What was he up to? Taking small steps I finally took his outstretched hand.

"You are the love of my life" He whispered his warm breath fanning my ear. "You're the reason I get up in the morning, the reason I want to live. I grew up in this lifestyle Ava, I didn't care about who I hurt or what I had to do to get the job done".

"Blaze"....

"Let me finish" nodding behind me he took both my hands in his and held them tightly. "We've been through so much together darlin' but I can't see my life without you in it, without you by my side. It's been a tough few weeks baby". Pressing his palm against my cheek my eyes closed on there own. I had missed him so much. "Now I have something for you".

My heart was hammering so fast I was afraid he was going to ask me the question I had been dreading. I love him with all my heart but I was no where near ready to marry.

"Blaze I-We"....

"Shhh" He whispered cutting me off "it's not what you think I know you're not ready for that yet. Open your eyes baby".

And I did.....

There he stood holding my very own cut with the worlds 'Blazes property' in bold letters on the back. I knew in this world, his world this was a big deal. He may as well have got down on one knee and popped the question.

I was lost for words. I knew this was a big deal and there was no way I couldn't accept it. He was proving to everyone that I was his, his old lady and one day his wife. Feeling the corners of my mouth lift I sunk my teeth into my bottom lip.

"Are you going to try it on or stand there looking at it" my dad called out causing laughter to erupt around the club. It was the first time I had noticed that every old lady in the place had theirs on. Was this some sort of tradition? I didn't like attention and right now I wanted to go home.

"Can we go home?" The minute the words left my mouth his smile dropped. "Please" I whispered reaching for his hand.

"Course baby head out to the car I just need to speak with your dad" Kissing my forehead he placed the cut over my shoulders.

Jumping in to the passenger side of his truck I removed the cut from my shoulders and held it to my chest. Bringing it to my nose I inhaled deeply taking in the smell of new leather. He got this made for me and I had ruined the moment because I felt uncomfortable with everyone staring at me.

"Such an idiot" I groaned just as the drivers side opened but it wasn't Blaze.

"How so?" Jared asked closing the door behind him.

"That was a big deal for him and I ruined it. Why didn't I just try it on". Sighing I held the cut tighter my nails digging in. I was an idiot a stupid one at that. "Don't even know why he wants to give me it I'm not worth him anymore".
