Chapter 46: Brooklyn Moves On
I continued to try to call Brooklyn but she was not answering her phone. I had not seen her in a month. I told Renegade I was going to her house. I will go with you. I climbed on the back of Renegades bike and he drove to Brooklyn’s house.
After parking in the driveway we knocked on the door. When it was opened I saw a woman standing there. Who are you I asked? My name is Tammy. Are you a friend of my cousin? Do you mean the woman who once lived here?
What do you mean once lived here I aske her? She sold the house a month ago and I bought it. Do you know where she might have gone? I am afraid I do not. Thank you. We got back on the bike and drove back to the club house.
Elizabeth asked if we saw Brooklyn. They did not know I was listening to the phone call. She sold her house. The new owner doesn’t know where she went.
The clubhouse was changing. The girls were not as happy as they were because they do not know where their cousin was. Didn’t know if she was safe.
Back at Brooklyn’s cottage she sat on the front porch and listened to the birds and drank her beer. She had stopped working at the tattoo shop and was now working at the nursing home not far from her cottage.
I went to work today and met a new nursing assistant. She is from West Virginia. He name is Julie. We hit it off. She is married to a biker from the ‘Road Warrior MC’ and his name is Claw.
I drove Julie to his club house and met Claw. He is really tall. I looked around and noticed that not one of the members or prospects were short small people.
I told Brooklyn it was nice to meet her. I noticed that her smile did not reach her eyes. She was hurt. Someone had hurt her. It is nice to meet you as well Claw. Would you like to come in? No thank you. I need to go grocery shopping before I go home.
We are having a BBQ tonight. You are welcome to stay. I don’t think so. I watched as she got back into her car after telling Julie she would see her at work Monday.
I watched as she drove out of the compound. Someone has hurt her. I got that feeling as well. She doesn’t talk much about her past. But we have just met. Dreamers coming to the BBQ. He is? Says he is in need of a stress relief.
So, is he with that girl he has been going to see? Sadly no. She sold her house and moved and her cousins have no idea where she moved to. What did he do to her? Treat her like shit?
I wouldn’t know. But, you know how he is. He wants to find his woman. But, when he does I will bet you he will not talk to her in a nice way. He will chase her away. You know Dreamer. He wants his woman but he is is scared of commitment.
I went to the store and got what I needed for the week. I had just got my beer and put it in the cart. I was walking to the front to pay for my items when I saw him walk toward me. He walked over and grabbed his beer. He looked at me but I looked down so he didn't get a good look.
I saw the woman walking toward me. She is beautiful but she is not Brooklyn. I walked by her and stopped. She kept walking. There is something about her. I know her. But I can't remember from where.
I want Brooklyn back. Well to be honest I never had her. I pushed her away. And then I lost her before I even got the chance to date her. I wish I had never taken that whore to my bedroom that night.
I have not seen Brooklyn since that night. No one has. She sold her house and moved. She doesn't even talk to her cousins or go to the clubhouse anymore. I still go there to visit hoping to see her again. It has been three months since she disappeared.
I paid for my items and pushed the cart to my car. I put everything in it and put the cart in the rack. I got into my car and backed out. I drove past Dreamer but didn't stop.
I put the beer in my saddle bags and drove to Claws MC. After parking I carried the beer to the back yard and Claw put it in a cooler. I grabbed a plate of food and sat across from him and Julie.
So, Dreamer. What happened to the girl you went to your cousins club to see? I wasn't dating her. I wanted to but, I was not nice to her. And you thought that was how she would date you?
I did something stupid. What did you do? I took a whore to my bedroom. I have not seen her since. What do you mean? Brooklyn sold her house and moved. She quite her job as a tattoo artist in town. She stopped going to her cousins club. No one has heard from her since.
What did you expect to happen Dreamer? What you did told her that you didn't want her. So, you lost her. And she liked you but not enough to watch you with whores or other women. Or enough to put up with you treating her badly.
You are right Julie. If she liked me than she should have stayed. I started laughing. We don't work that way Dreamer. As Claw. She's right Dreamer. You didn't chase her, you didn't say she looked nice, or talk nice to her.
Then you take a whore to your bedroom and fuck her. That told her that she was wasting her time. And no woman wants to see that, ear about it happening, or put up with men treating them like shit. So, yes they move on.
