Chapter 14 Christmas Trees And Robyns . Four Months Later … Elenas P.O.V. Were getting this one No , were not , were getting this one its bigger Gabby says and Joshua looks at her in a condescending way . Honey , yours is about three inches shorter than mine And how would you know that ? Because Im a gay man , twinny , its our job to know the difference between a molerat and an anaconda And that makes you an expert on this , huh? Gabby asks with annoyance in her tone . Of course it does , Gab , you straights see a few inches and immediately think youre in for a good time whereas us gays have got standards and we know that we need more than just a few inches to get the party started , trust me twinny , nothing goes near my peach unless its at least nine inches long , do you understand me ? Jesus take the wheel and drive these two to the looney bin while youre at it , please . Its snowing and hovering between five and six degrees , Im cold as s ** t and despite wearing snow boots and a pair of thick socks , my feet feel frozen yet these two clowns are here arguing not only over big trees but also big d *** s as well and theyre doing it with one of the workers standing next to us . I dont think Ive ever been as embarrassed in my entire life as I am right now . Same with me Gabby says with a smile earning a scoff from her twin brother . b *** h please, Ive seen some of the men youve been with and you could barely wrap a babys fist around their tiny todgers Oh for the love of Pete . Why do we need a big tree anyway ? 1/9 +10 Points Chapter 14 Christmas Trees A … I asked before they could make this conversation even more embarrassing than it already is . Because its your first Christmas on the ranch and we need to make it special Its already gonna be special with the people I love most around me I say and they both look at me like aww . Aww babe , thats so sweet and all but no , we need a big tree f ** k my life . I thought to myself whilst rolling my eyes . Gabby and Joshua continued to bicker over whose tree we were gonna get before my frustrated and cold ass stepped in and put a stop to it . Wrap them both up , were taking them both Thank you , maam The worker thanked me and I could tell he was thanking me for more than just the sale . Urgh !! , why did you do that , Ellie ? Yeah , we wanted to see who would give up first Gabby and Joshua whined . Well , Im waving the white flag for the both of you because Im tired , Im hungry and Im so cold down there I think I can feel my virginity coming back I groaned and the pair chuckled . I think we should save our money on these trees and hang some tinsel and baubles to Ellies bush instead and call it a day , lord knows she must have a wombat down there now since she hasnt seen any action in months Yeah , maybe we could get Tanner to hang his baubles from her tree if you know what I mean Gabby said and I gasped . Excuse you , Gabriella Donovan … 1 Thats not a bad idea , Gab , he can give her a good sandblasting while hes down there as well and give her pipes a good clearing out Joshua said interrupting me . 2/9 +10 Point : Chapter 14 Christmas Trees A … Erm hello , Im right here Do you think we should stop by the clubhouse and see if Vipers up for spitting some of his venom her way ? Oh my god . No … no , were going home , were not going to the clubhouse and nobody is sandblasting anyone or spitting their venom , whatever that means Oh , it just means … I know what it means , Gabriella I say with annoyance in my tone . Whats eating you crabby ? its Christmas and youre acting like a big old Grinch Its because Tanner hasnt shown her any attention in months Gabby says with a smirk and I glare at her . No , its not Yeah , it is but they dont need to know that . Tanners been hot and cold with me ever since that day at the diner , one day hell be all smiles and giving me hugs wanting to chat and catch up and then the next hes as cold as ice treating me like I dont exist . I dont know why it makes me sad to see him treat me this way , I mean , Im newly divorced and Ive just managed to escape a toxic relationship with one of the biggest narcissists I know by the skin of my teeth , so a new relationship or even men in general shouldnt be on my radar , right ?. Dont worry little cousin , as hot and as sexy as Tanner is , hes not the only fish in the sea , hes just the only one who dominates in the sea , thats all Joshua says and I groan as I facepalm . This boy isnt helping matters . Look cousin , you just need to show him what hes missing Yeah and give him the same cold shoulder as hes been given you , maybe you should also flirt with one or two of his club brothers as well to really drive the point home if you know what I mean 3/9 +10 Points Chapter 14 Christmas Trees A … Yeah because nothing makes a man want a woman more than seeing her be a w *** e with the men who are closest to him I say while rolling my eyes . Well , thats how I nabbed M & M , the wanker ghosted me for two whole weeks after giving me one of the best f *** s of my life and he started hanging around the club whores , so me being the petty b *** h that I am, I started hanging out with Pinky instead , little did he know at the time that Pinky was gayer than a rainbow flag shooting out of Sam Smiths PVC clad ass at a gay pride event and he had nothing to worry about with him … well , at least not with me anyway Gabby says with a smirk a nd I shake my head . Can we please leave Sam Smith out of your analogies please , Gabriella , the poor man is going through a lot at the moment Yeah , a lot of d ** k Gabby says and I spit my drink out . I so wasnt expecting the Vince Vaughn comeback from her . I attempted to take another swig of my water when I was once again interrupted by my phone pinging . I pulled my phone out of my pocket and smiled when I saw it was a text from my brother but my mood quickly changed when I saw what he had texted me . Ellie Bear , can you please stop by the clubhouse after youve been Christmas tree shopping, dads here with his girlfriend and he wants to introduce her to you . Urgh !! , f **k my life . Im busy , Brand I texted him back hoping hed let me off because I wasnt keen on being in the same room with my dads new woman as well as Tanner but unfortunately for me , my brother doesnt like me today . No , youre not Elena , youre out buying a Christmas tree and then youre gonna do what youve been doing for the past four months , youre gonna go home , have a shower , order some takeout food and watch a movie with Sunday . Wow , am I really that predictable ?. 4/9 +10 Points Chapter 14 Christmas Trees A … Now youd better get your ass down here in the next ten minutes because if you dont then Ill come and get you myself and Ill carry your ass over my shoulder like a child in front of all of my men . You wouldnt dare , Brand . Try me , baby . URGH !!! I groan as I put my phone back in my pocket . Whats got you groaning like a s * x starved princess ? Joshua asks and I roll my eyes . You really need to clean that mouth of yours out , Joshua What ? and have all of you live a boring life without my delightful commentary ? never He says and I chuckle while shaking my head . Now come on , tell your uncle Joshy whats wrong ? Brandon wants me to come to the clubhouse so that my dad can introduce me to his new girlfriend Wait , you still havent met her yet ? Gabby asks me and I shake my head . No Why not ? She asks me and I scoff . I dont know , maybe its because Ive just escaped from the wicked witch of the West , Gabs and the last thing I need right now is for an evil step mother to come into the fold ruining my peace Youve watched one too many Disney movies , Elena Jade , Robyns nothing like those Disney bitches Joshua says with a chuckle earning a glare from me. Joshs right , kid , shes a sweetheart Whatever you say 5/9 +10 Point : Chapter 14 Christmas Trees A … My phone once again pinged and I was annoyed when I saw a message from my brother saying seven minutes . Who does this motherfucker think he is? the little girl from The Ring ?. Come on guys , lets get this over and done with before Brandon comes and embarrasses my ass I say with a frustrated sigh and my cousins cheer . We then loaded up the two trees onto the back of my truck with the help of some of the workers and made sure they were secure before getting in our cars and driving off towards the clubhouse which wasnt far from where we were but I wish it was . Not long after my divorce from Tristan was finalised and made official , my father started his own divorce proceedings which my mother drug out and tried to make as painful as possible for him because she was determined to keep her claws firmly embedded into my dad . What my mom didnt know is that a judge can grant a divorce if my dad can prove his marriage is damaged beyond repair and can provide evidence of my mothers transgressions which he did including evidence of her infidelity which shocked the hell out of me because I always thought she loved my dad enough to stay faithful to him but obviously, I was wrong . He also provided evidence of her abuse which wasnt much since you cant really prove mental and emotional abuse but my dad was able to get a statement from the therapist Brandon and I see who was able to prove that weve been mentally and emotionally abused over the years . After the divorce was finalised , my father rejoined the Demon Kings MC and remained single until around a month ago when he introduced his new girlfriend Robyn to Brandon , uncle Rage and the boys and hes been eager to introduce me to her as well but Ive been hesitant to meet her . up The reason why is because as you can expect , my trust in people has waned and I find it hard to trust anyone these days , especially since Tanner has been blowing hot and cold with me and the last thing I wanna do is meet someone who Im unsure if I can trust with my father who means the absolute world to me . Around thirty minutes later , we pulled up to the clubhouse which seemed to be bustling with the sounds of loud music and voices . I parked my truck in the clubs parking lot just as Tanner walked out of the clubhouse and sparked up a cigarette whilst being followed by a tall blonde who clearly didnt get the memo that its winter and mini dresses dont class as winter attire . 6/9 +10 Point Chapter 14- Christmas Trees A … I let out a sigh as I ran a hand through my hair before getting out of my truck and locking it up . I then headed towards the clubhouse feeling determined to ignore Tanner just like hes ignored me all these months but no such luck was on my side tonight . Hey there gorgeous , long time no see Urgh !! . I closed my eyes and groaned before looking over at Tanner . Im surprised you even remembered me , Tanner I said earning a gasp from the bottled blonde as she muttered did she just call the pres by his real name ?. Yes b *** h I did and what ?. You know I never forget a face , Mia Bella Tanner said with a smirk and a wink . Well , please try and forget mine I said stoically and his smirk quickly dropped . I then headed inside of the clubhouse and the first thing my eyes saw was a guy doing a handstand on a keg and he was being held up by two of his friends as another one held a straw in his mouth . Jesus Christ . Did I just walk into a clubhouse or a frat house ?. Ellie Bear , over here My brother shouted for me . I narrowed my eyes at the table where he was sitting and I barely recognised anyone at it , in fact , the only people I recognised were Brandon , uncle Rage and my dad who was snuggling up to a very beautiful woman who looked like she could pass more as my mom than my actual mother . Shes got the same tanned skin , brownish blonde hair and thick lips as me , the only difference is that Ive got my fathers bright blue eyes whereas hers look like theyre brown from where Im standing . Ellie baby , come over here , theres someone I want you to meet 7/9 10 Point Chapter 14 Christmas Trees A … My dads strong voice pulls me from my thoughts as he waves me over. I let out a sigh and smiled as I walked over to the table . Hey Ellie , what took you so long ? My dad asks as he stands up and embraces me in a hug . Hi daddy , sorry Im late , I was out with the dynamic duo who were fighting over whose tree was bigger than the other … amongst other things I say while rolling my eyes and he chuckles . It doesnt matter , sweetheart , youre here now and thats all that matters My dad said whilst kissing my temple . Anyway baby come , I want you to meet my new friend He says and I narrow my eyes at him . Friend ? is that what you old folks call it these days , hmm ? I ask with a smirk and he pretends to glare at me . Hey , less of the old , Ellie Bear My dad said sternly but with amusement in his tone as he poked his finger at me . He then gestured for the lady who I assume is his new girlfriend to come over to us and she smiled as she hesitantly approached us . Honey , this is the light of my life , my baby girl Elena , Elena sweetheart this is … Your girlfriend Robyn , yeah I know … sorry dad , I couldnt listen to you call her again , its weird I say and everyone chuckles . I like her , Danny Robyn says surprising me when I heard her call my dad Danny . your friend My mother always hated it when we affectionately shortened each others names like the way I call Brandon Brand or the way everyone calls me Ellie or Elle or the way I call Brandy slut , she always hated it and said only middle and lower class people do it not high class people like us . She also said she despised how I called my father daddy and said it doesnt sound right 8/9 +10 Point Chapter 14- Christmas Trees A … coming from a grown womans mouth . Actually , her words were you sound like a skanky pornstar when you call your father daddy , Elena . I of course asked her how she knew pornstars were using the term daddy in a s **** ❘ way because I couldnt help myself and she just went red in the face and demanded I stop calling him it which I didnt obviously . Its not surprising , babe , everyone loves our little Ellie Bear My dad says and I smile as he wraps his arm around my shoulders and holds me closer to him . Whats your poison of choice Elena and Ill get it for you from the bar ? Robyn asked me and I was about to answer her when she was cut off by my cousins boyfriend M& M who came over and sat down on one of the chairs . Not exactly the best thing to say to your new step daughter , Robyn, especially since the poor girl hasnt exactly got the best experience with mothers Shut the f ** k up , asshole Brandon growls as he pushes M & M off his seat causing everyone including me to laugh . The mood quickly changed when Tanner walked over to us and I sighed in frustration as my gut screamed at me that tonight was going to be a very long night .
