Bound and Broken: Claimed by the MC

Chapter 8 - James

"Thank f***k for that," I say once I'm out walking free. "I'm getting real tired of this bulls.hit," I tell Thor.

"I hear you, and we're going to get to the bottom of all of this."

"Preferably before I spend any more time in jail."

"Okay, well, I'm going to head home. So I'll see you later okay?" Ameilia says to Raven, squeezing her hand before she goes to take off.

"Take the next two days off okay? You did a lot of work here tonight."

"So did you, and it's part of the job."

"No, Ameilia, not here. I will not work you to the bone and give you no personal life. Our office is going to be entirely different we do not have any emergencies to face right now. James is fine, the weekend is coming up, start your weekend early. Speaking of, what are you doing? Do you want to come to the house? I think we're going to have a barbeque tomorrow."

"Um, yeah maybe, I'll text you tomorrow if that's okay?"

"Of course silly. Be safe okay?" Ameilia nods, and starts to walk away. She starts to walk away without saying a Godd.amn thing to me.

"Hold on," I tell Thor and Raven before I turn and follow Ameilia, who's moving fast for someone with such short legs. "Hey Firefly," I shout, and she finally stops and turns towards me.

"Sorry, I didn't hear you," she tells me, that beautiful blush coloring her face again.

"Where are you heading off to in such a hurry?"

"I'm just heading home."

"Why don't you come by the club house? It's been a long night, you deserve a break."

"Yeah, Raven just mentioned that," she says playfully. "That's why I'm heading home."

"If you head to the club house, you would have more of a break."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yupp, people there cooking, you won't have to clean anything, you can just eat and relax."

"I'm not sure it's really a super relaxing environment for someone like me."

"Someone like you?"

"Yeah, I'm just, I don't know, me. Thank you for the offer, and if you end up going to Raven's tomorrow I'll probably see you there, but I really have to get going." She checks the time on her phone before offering me a smile and then scurrying around me.

"What?" I huff out at Thor when I get back to him and Raven and he's laughing his a.ss off.

"She avoiding the mighty James? The one that all the women bow down to?"

"f***k off, let's go."

Ameilia POV

"You're late," Rupert grunts at me when I walk into the restaurant.

"I know, I'm sorry. There was an emergency at my other job, I got here as soon as I could."

"Yeah well go change and then get your a.ss out there."

"Okay," I tell him before I sprint off to the back. As soon as I get in there I change into my outfit. I don't bother pulling it up to cover more of my chest like I used to do. Rupert would force me to show more cleavage myself, or he would threaten to do it. It's not the worst place to work. It was here or stripping, and I really don't have the confidence to do that. But working at the Burlesque Cabaret was the next best thing. I didn't have to dress as risqué as a strip club, and I didn't have to take my clothes off. So while yes, my outfits were more revealing than I'd like to wear, the tips were good, and security took care of us. I honestly don't think Rupert would care if anything bad happened to us. Fourtunately he's the manager and not the owner. Unfortunately he's the owners nephew so even though he's awful at his job and only does well when his uncle is here, he's not going anywhere. Security though is under strict orders to keep an eye on us and make sure we're safe. It's the only way I could work here. And I need the tips, I need every bit of money I can possibly earn. Lily depends on me, and I'd do anything for my sister.

As soon as I'm changed and I have my notebook I walk out to the floor, and I almost turn right back around when I see a Satan's Demons MC Cut. Shoot, shoot, shoot, I can't have this getting back to Raven, what would she do, how would she act if she knew what I did? The whole reason I chose this place was because it was off Raven's radar, and after I met Luke and all them, I figured there was no way they would come here.

"Hey, you just gonna stand there, or are you going to get to work?" Rosie, one of the girls that works with me whispers, "Rupert is on the war path tonight get out there before he throws you out on your a.ss."

"Shoot, thank you." I hustle on to the floor and start taking drink orders. By the end of the night I'm thanking my lucky stars that I didn't end up running into the man in the MC cut. I didn't even get a good look at his face so I don't know who it was, and hopefully that means he didn't get a good look at mine. I change and get out of there as quickly as I can. I only made a few hundred in tips tonight, but I was distracted trying to avoid that vest all night. As soon as I get home I call Albert to let him know I'd be a little short this month.

"What?" he snaps as he answers the phone.

"Hi Albert, it's me, I have most of the money for you this month. I'm a few hundred short, but I'll send it to you and then I'll send you the rest when I get it."

"If you can't afford to support your sister, then you can't afford to come visit her either."

"That's not the deal we ha-"

"The deal is," he cuts me off sharply. "You help support her financially while I do everything else. Keep up your end, and you can see her. Don't and you can't it's that simple." he hangs up on me, and I find myself unable to hold back the tears.
