Solomon tossed Kaci her clothes that were in a pile on the floor and put his hands on her shoulders. “It’s gonna be fine,” he assured her, running his fingers down her hair. “Just um,” he blurted as he scanned the room, “just stay here. He won’t need to come up here.” He kissed her and threw his towel on floor, scrambling to get himself dressed. He gave her a nod as he closed the door behind him. He ran down the stairs quickly and slowed himself before he reached the front door. What he saw happening outside made his eyes widen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeremy couldn’t help but smirk as he watched Tallis and Ashley exchange words back and forth. He was certain that Tallis could kill her with her bare hands if she wanted, but he wouldn’t let it get that far. There was already enough heat on the clubhouse; the last thing they needed was the cops showing up. Ashley wasn’t something he was proud of, although she wasn’t bad looking. She was available, and that was all Jeremy really needed at the time. Once Tallis was on top of Ashley, Jeremy sprang into action. He smiled when he saw Solomon run up next to him. [i]”Atta boy,”[/i] thought Jeremy, as he walked up behind Tallis, looping his arms through hers and dragging her to a standing position. “Enough, Tallis, enough,” he said only loud enough for Tallis to hear. Solomon helped Ashley up also to a standing position, putting his arms around her to keep her from lunging at Tallis. Once she calmed down, Jeremy let her go and walked in between the two girls. “Ashley, I think it’s time you go.” “But look what she [i]did[/i] to me, Tillman. You’re okay with this?” She was referring to her already bruising eye socket and the leaking gash on her cheek. Jeremy smiled at her question, annoyed she wasn’t getting the hint. He turned away from her and faced Tallis, putting his fingers on her chin and propping her face up. He leaned in and kissed her slowly and passionately, but only for a moment before turning back to Ashley. He tasted the blood in his mouth from Tallis'. “Got it?” Jeremy asked, not expecting an answer. His face remained stone cold as he glared at her. Ashley scoffed, ripping her body away from Solomon and storming off to her car parked on the other side of the compound. Jeremy, after realizing what he did, scanned the front of the clubhouse to make sure President Black wasn’t viewing the spectacle outside. He sighed of relief when he noticed he wasn’t, and turned back around to Tallis. “Try not to kill anyone on my property, okay?” He looked to her, fighting a smile curling on the corners of his lips. [i]“I forgot about this side of her.[/i]” Solomon ran his fingers through his hair, waiting to see if Jeremy needed him before he could run upstairs to check on Kaci. Knowing that she was there, in his room, possibly waiting to be spotted by Tillman, made his heart race.
