“Hi Felipe” You greet as you enter his butcher shop

“Hola Y/N” “I brought you tres leches cake” “Thank you mija!” You watch as he returns to wiping down his counter “So how you been?”  “Good!” You look around “do you need help? I can sweep” “Sure the broom is there” He wasn’t going to turn down a chance to close up faster  “How’s business?” if anyone knew how hard it was to have a successful business in Santo Padre it would be him

You sigh “it’s going most of my income comes from special orders” “Well if it gets too hard, don’t be afraid to take a break sometimes it's needed” “Thanks Felipe” “Pop where’s my...” EZ walks in front from back of the building “oh Hey Y/N” “Where’s what EZ?”  “Hi EZ” you greet throwing the items from the dustpan into the trash can “My helmet, it’s not where I usually put it ” “I put it in my office, hanging on the back of the door ”  EZ nodded and went back to retrieve his helmet.  “Well I’m gonna get going, I have an early morning tomorrow. Let me know how you like the cake, I’m trying a new recipe” “Will do Y/N, have a good night” “Buenas Noches Felipe” 

When EZ walked returned to the front he looked around for you   “She left” Felipe commented knowing what he was looking for  He lowered the helmet in his hand “Oh okay”  Felipe stopped wiping the counter “What is it?” “Nothing Pop, she just left that quickly?” Felipe sat down and looked at EZ “EZ do you like the girl?”  EZ tried to hide his blush “What makes you ask that?” “Because you have a sly smile every time you talk about her which isn’t much but the smile is still there”  EZ smiles “Then I guess I do a little”  “Well what’s the hold up? Are you waiting for another man to get to her?” EZ scratched the back of his neck “It’s not easy Pop”  “Nothing in life is Ezekiel come on son! Pull yourself out of this!”  EZ nodded “right right, I’ll be back”  EZ rushed out the door and looked both ways before he saw you walking down the street towards your store

“Y/N!” He calls to you jogging towards you. “Y/N!” he yells a little louder  His voice sounds distant until he gets closer causing you to turn around “Hey EZ”  “Hey” he says gasping for air  “Need something?”  “Yea actually...”   You interject before he finishes “Okay cake order?” He smiles at you “No something else”  “Okay?” you look at him confused as to what else would he need  “Are you off this weekend?” You hold a questioning look on your face “No next weekend is my weekend off” He nods, scratching the back of his neck “So I was wondering if you would like to go to dinner with me next Saturday?”  You smile “Oh sure!”  “Sure?  “Yea!” there’s a brief moment of silence between you two “This is like a date?” you ask your voice becoming more faint with each word He nods at you “yes like a date” You smile at him “I would like that” “Okay I’ll come get you around 8?”  “Sounds good!” EZ smiles “have a goodnight Y/N” “Good night EZ”  You keep this information to yourself. Following the advice your therapist gave you about only involving others if you felt like you were in an abusive situation. You can’t wait for next Saturday night to approach you have picked out an outfit and planned to flatten your curls for the date.

“Pop you okay?!” EZ asked as he rushed into his dad’s butchery  Felipe was sitting down rubbing his hands “Yes son” “What happened?” EZ asked looking around to make sure everything really was okay “I heard some guys went around destroying property, luckily didn’t get to us got arrested as soon as they hit our street”  EZ relaxed  Felipe slapped his hand on the table “Fucking bastards, people work hard in this town to make ends meet and they just come destroying our things” EZ rubbed his father’s shoulder “It’s okay Pop, just try to relax” Felipe rubbed his temple “I heard the street Y/N’s shop is in got hit bad” “Shit I’m gonna go check on her, okay?” Felipe nodded, waving him off. EZ quickly got on his bike and made his way towards your store. Pop wasn’t lying there was glass all over the street 

You hear the doorbell jingle “Oh I’m closed right now, sorry for the incon...” You stop when you see EZ standing there “Y/N” he calls to you, taking in the damage.  Your glass displays were broken and the floor is littered with a mixture of glass and pastries “OH! EZ!” You quickly wipe away your tears “You okay?” You sniff “Yea just cleaning up”  you motion to the mess around  “Here let me help you” EZ says grabbing the broom from you  “No it's okay” you try to grab it back  EZ looks down at his hand feeling a wet sensation only to see blood “You’re bleeding?” He looks down at your hand that was wrapped, it just registered to him then that you were hurt “Oh it’s nothing” you say putting it behind your back  EZ drops the broom “Let me see”  “It’s no big deal really EZ”  He keeps his hands open and you give in placing your shaking left hand in his  “This is a lot of blood Y/N” he states taking in the blood soaked towel. “I’m okay”  He looks up at you “What happened?”  “I don’t know I was pushed and then this happened”

EZ looks around again “where’s a sink?”  “Oh there's a bathrooms towards the back”  He doesn’t say anything to you just carefully guiding you with his right hand on your back pushing you towards the bathroom  “Got a first aid kit?” he asks as you both stand in the bathroom “Uh yea in the kitchen against the wall it’s the Red box. The white box is for burns you’ll see it as soon as you walk in”  EZ nods and returns quickly “Let me put on some gloves” you nod and step back slowly he unravels the towel, he finds a deep concave cut accompanied by shallow cuts along the sides is revealed. “This looks pretty bad Y/N I think you need to go to the hospital” “I was planning on it after I cleaned up” you shrug  “I think you should go and get it looked at, don't worry about your shop, I’ll help you clean up.” “I guess you’re right” you respond looking at the wound. It wasn’t going to stop bleeding anytime soon. It seemed like a vein was cut in the process or the cut was just too deep. EZ wraps the gauze around your hand and grabs a clean towel. “Thanks, I’ll put pressure on it” “Where are your keys?” he asks “Oh in book bag under the counter” 

He grabs your things and ushers you out the door and into your car. You smile when you watch him readjust the driver seat moving it all the way to the back. “Sorry short” “Can’t apologize for what God Blessed you with carino”  The ride to the hospital is short due to EZ speeding all the way over there. Because you worked there, you were prioritized, there weren’t any urgent emergencies so you didn’t feel bad for jumping the line.  “Okay let’s see” Dr. Johnson says as he unwraps your hand “oooh that looks bad” You sigh “I know”  “What happened?” “Uh some guys came into the store broke the display glasses and pushed me I fell on glass” He examines  “Oooh looks painful let me get you some lidocaine before we start cleaning you up.” “Thanks Johnson” “They pushed you?” EZ asks finally realizing someone put their hands on you “Yea I was telling them to leave and one of them pushed me” you explain  He clenched his jaw 

Dr. Johnson quickly returned and got to work on your wound. EZ watched closely, smiling at you when you looked up at him. “Well all done, doesn’t look like any veins were cut, that's good. The stitches will dissolve after 4 days try moving your hand wiggle your fingers you don’t want your hand to become stiff” “Thanks Johnson” “Yea no problem if it still bothers you by next weekend let me know we can have you less urgent cases.”  “Thanks again.” you smile at him  “Yea no problem Y/L/N” EZ and you return to your store and you watch as he finishes cleaning up for you. There wasn’t much left, just one last round of sweeping and mopping.   “Thanks EZ” you say as he locks up for you “Don’t mention it, let's get you home. Follow me okay?” You do so as he basically guides you back to your house frequently looking back at you making sure you were still there.  When you arrive EZ stands back as you open the door and flick the light on. When you look back at him and notice his hands tucked into his pockets. “You can come in if you want” you offer and he nods and walks past you. “This is me” you say, placing your keys on the console. EZ smiles in return taking in your home  “Do you want something to drink?” you offer “You got water?”  You nod “Yes” 

You quickly retrieve the water and sit next to EZ “Thanks” “Welcome” you sit next to him  “Sorry about this weekend didn’t go as planned”  “It’s okay EZ it’s not your fault”  “How’s your hand feeling?” he asks rubbing your wrist  You give him a sympathetic smile “It’s okay throbbing now” You don’t know why but you start to cry “Hey, hey, hey”  EZ quickly shrugs off his kutte and pulls you close wrapping his arms around “sshhh carino, what’s wrong?”  “I’m just upset”  “You want me to take care of it?” he offers and you knew he could take care of it You giggle  and shake your head no “Just want me to hold you”  You nod snuggling further into his chest. Nothing else is said between you two until he gets ready to leave “Good night let me know you got to the clubhouse safe” You tell EZ as he gets on his bike your door putting on his helmet “I will carino if you need anything call me I don’t care if its the middle of the night”  “Okay”  He smiles “Goodnight carino”  “Goodnight EZ”

Redemption Ch. 4 

“Soooo what do you think of Y/N” Angel asks EZ the next day as they sat in his RV

EZ shrugged “she’s cool I guess, conversation was boring” “What did you talk about?” He shrugged again “Surface level shit” “What’s wrong with that?” 

“It’s boring” “EZ hermano, I love you but you’re being a bit ridiculous you want her to start discussing philosophy when you two just started talking?” “Gabby and I did” Angel sighs shaking his head “What?” 

“Nothing” “Say what’s on your mind!” 

Angel pauses noticing his brother getting angry “Look I get it, Gabby was the one that got away, the love of your life, but you can’t go judging every new girl based off of her” “I’m not” “You are and you know it. I just don’t want you doing what I did. Searching for the woman you lost in every other girl that passes your way. You’ll end up like me old with a baby mama who skipped town the first chance she got because you were too busy trying to replace something that can’t be replaced.”

EZ sighed looking up 

“I know you think you’re smarter than me...”

“I am!” EZ interrupted 

Angel chuckled “even if you are, if you don’t deal with your feelings with Gabby you will end up like me. Shit if Y/N was Vicki’s girls I wouldn’t even be saying anything but she’s not! She got a good job, smart, and family oriented. What more do you want hermano?” “I don’t know” “Do Pop a favor please, I can’t spend another hour on the phone hearing him talk about how much he’s worried about you and how much I need to push you out there even though I tell him I try and you shut down on everyone.” EZ looked at Angel and nodded “just give it a try and if things don’t work out hey blame me!” 

The sentiments Angel shared last with EZ for a while. Every time he picked up the phone to text you or call you he stopped. The last text you two shared was from the party weeks ago. Today he was going to see you. Camila was throwing a small get together at her house. Coco, Pedro, Creeper, Gilly, and a few other guys. A few of Vicki’s girls would be there not as working girls but as friends. Of course you and Asher.  You were already there when the crowd slowly trickled in. 

You briefly greet EZ as he settles into his chair outside, you go to sit next to Asher as you watch the crowd interact. Camila had been spending a lot of time with Coco so she was already in on the jokes and digs. You smile glad to see her happy, both of you had come from rough backgrounds and you were glad not only her and Coco were getting along but Leticia as well. 

“So your boo is here” Asher teases whispering to you

“So is yours” You comment back, causing him to blush. One of the guys had taken a liking to Asher and you knew who it was but were sworn to secrecy by Asher. 

“Anyway, you think Camila made the potato salad?” You erupt in laughter “what?” “Well you know last time she put too much relish and that was a disaster” “She said she didn’t go off script this time” “Good cuz now I’m hungry” 

You were all waiting for Pedro to be done with the grill before you started eating. 20 more minutes pass before Pedro announces that food is ready. You linger in the back waiting for the crowd to dissipate. You weren’t really paying attention so it catches you by surprise when EZ is next to you picking through food. 

“So how’s life been?” You shrug “same, cakes, stab wounds, cupcakes, heart attack” EZ chuckled “you?” 

“Same” 

You nod as you pick up more items 

“Don’t eat the potato salad!” you hear Camila yell before removing the dish from the table 

“Now Cami we talked about this!” Asher complains

“I know, I don’t know what happened!” Asher waves his hand in the air “You are banned from making potato salad from here on out” “Hey I deserve one more try” You and EZ laugh watching the exchange.

As the day progresses into the night you and EZ somehow end up sitting next to each other. You two had something in common, you liked to people watch and now you were watching as a few of the girls and guys danced. 

“You should be up there!” he notions with his hand 

“Oh no!” He giggles thinking about dancing in front of people You smile at him “You should though!”  

“I have 2 left feet!” 

“So you say” You tease 

“So why’d you come back to Santo Padre?” 

You take in a deep breath “My mom always wanted to come back, she wanted to retire here, open up her bakery and just live the simple life” 

“Why would she want to come back here?” You shrug “It was home for her” EZ scoffs, he can’t stop the bitter feeling bubbling up “this is a dead town she could have gone anywhere else, hell you could have too” You turn to look at him, noticing the sudden change in his mood. You choose your words carefully “I could have, she could have but, Santo Padre isn’t a dead town” you hear him scoff “What you’re saying is that everyone who lives here is a ghost and I don’t believe that, do you think Valentina is a ghost?” EZ turns to look at you “EZ this town has life, a lot of it, sometimes it’s hard to see the beauty in things when it's always a thick fog, but you have to be willing to wade through that fog to get to the other side. You have to wade through the fog EZ” you sigh at the end. He turns to face the crew again not saying anything “but” he turns to look at you “What do I know I’m an old divorced hag, might not be the best person to get motivation from” you shoot him a sympathetic smile. You stand up “I gotta go to work, see you later EZ” your shift was in an hour and you needed to get ready, but also you felt those painful emotions coming to the surface and you didn’t want him or anyone else there to see you get emotional over a silly statement EZ made up.

TW: Alcohol

Redemption Ch. 3

Back at your house you go through your closet throwing clothes all over the place “Omg what am I going to wear?!” 

“What are you going to wear? What about me? A whole queer in a biker gang party?” 

“Asher if they had an issue with you by now they would have said something or worse done something” 

“True true” he nods in agreeance as he sits stands by your door 

“Okay dress?” You shake your head  “I think that's too much, what about some pants, top and heels?” 

Asher nods “Mmmm I think for this crowd less is more”

“Okay jeans, heels, and a cute top?” you suggest 

“Yes, that should work.” 

You opt for a casual top, jean, ankle boot combination. Basic from what you would typically wear to parties but this wasn’t like other parties. It takes you both around 2 hours to get ready before you leave. When you return to the club house it's dark and the yard is practically filled with bikes. So you end up parking outside the gate.

“Why did I wear heels again?” stumbling one too many times on the small pebbles in the yard

“Because you like to show off” Asher comments. You curse internally as you walk to the club house regretting the fact that you even wore heels.

“I do not!” you approach the club house and hear the music thumping from the other side

“Welcome, welcome!” One of the prospects greets you two before opening the door. 

“Thank you!” You’re hit with the smell of weed, cigarettes, and loud music. It makes you stop dead in your tracks before you feel comfortable to walk further in. “This is nuts” Asher shouts standing next to you 

You nod looking at the sea of leather jackets and drunk looking men.

Camila spots you two and meets you two where you stood “Oh you guys made it! Come! Come! Coco and I are outside!” you could tell she was already tipsy 

“You got drinks there?” Asher asks

“Oh uh I think so! There’s a lot of people!”

“I’m gonna get a drink from the bar I’ll meet up with you guys there” no way you were going to make it through this without an initial shot or three or four maybe  five

You see a path clear up from where you stood to the bar and your feet move you across the floor swiftly. You stand back and squeeze your way through unknown to you was that yo squeezed right next to EZ

“Hey what can I get you?” One of the club members greets you didn’t know his name yet

“Uh have any liquor?" you ask looking at the empty shelves 

He shakes his head “Nah all the liquor bottles are outside or on that table” He points 

You turn following his finger, that was a hard no for you, you turn back to face him “Okay what you got?” 

“Beer”

“What kind?” 

“Modelo, Corona, Heineken, Budweiser, Bud Light, Guinness, Michelob, shit just about every one of them, which one you want?” 

“Let me get a Guinness” you smile up at him

He smiles at you “Coming right up!” 

You nod and look to your right when you see EZ sitting there “Oh EZ! Sorry!” you say taking a step to the left, realizing you were in his personal space. 

“It’s all good” he says smiling at you

The bartender returns with the Guinness and you thank him you take a sip and make a face.

“Don’t like beer?” 

You chuckle and look down at the bottle “It’s okay” 

He chuckled in response, just as you were about to say something another man maybe from another club approaches you two “Wow look at you young lady” he says while grabbing you pulling him to you 

You squeal as your body is being pulled making you lose balance.

Immediately EZ’s left hand wraps around your waist and he shoots the stranger a mean mug. 

“My bad bro didn’t know she was yours” 

“She’s not, but you know better we don’t do that shit here!” EZ scolds 

The guys hands shoot up “My bad my bad I’m walking away” 

“Thanks EZ” you say returning to look at him

“It’s all good”  he removes his arm making sure his hand grazes the small of your back before it returns to his side

“Sooo not hanging out with the other guys?” you ask noticing the lack of the other club members are nowhere to be found 

“Nah I’m good here game is on too” he tips his beer to the TV at the bar

“Oh who’s playing” you ask not necessarily interested but hoping to continue the conversation. 

“Packers and Steelers” he answers  “Chucho! Let me get a cup!” 

You grab your phone reading the text from Asher “Okay well I’m gonna..” 

He stands up and you take a step back “what liquor do you like?” 

“Oh uh it’s okay the Guinness will work” You smile holding up the beer

“I didn't ask you that did I?” he has a serious look on his face

You shake your head “no you didn’t” you run your fingers through your hair 

“Okay so answer” 

You blush “Oh uh Tequila or Whiskey” 

“Got you, save my seat yea?” 

“Yea”  you turn to watch as he walks away and lean on his seat. You look around at the overwhelming amount of people in a small space. Other biker men around smile at you while lifting up their drinks.

EZ returns just as quick as he left “No whiskey only tequila” he says handing you the cup 

You smile “Thanks”  you grab the cup from him, “Holy shit!” you state in shock 

He chuckles 

You look at the very full cup of liquor now in your possession “This is a lot EZ” you say looking up at him 

He tilts his head to the side and smiles “Consider it payment for the cake” 

“That was a lot too, you have to help me drink this!” you bargain 

“Or you can drink it and enjoy yourself!” he debates 

You give him a half smile “Okay you're right!” you turn to look back considering how you were going to get to and Asher but the sea of people made you nauseous and you turned back around

“Where are your buddies?” 

“Oh outside with Coco” 

He looks back towards the door leading to the backyard, then turns to look at you “you don’t want to join them?” 

“Oh I think I'm good here!” you give him a reassuring smile

He nods again, returning his attention to the game. You step away from him getting the vibe that he didn’t want you around. You have been to plenty of bars, it's not like you couldn’t entertain yourself. You drink and finish the Guinness before moving onto the cup of Tequila. It loosens you up and you find your head bopping to the music and then your body twisting to the music. 

“Look at you!” Angel says stepping to you 

You turn to look back hearing the familiar voice “Oh! Hey Angel, nice to see you again!” 

He raises his beer to you “Nice seeing you Y/n” “How's your baby?” you ask 

“Good, spoiled” 

“Feeding her veggies and fruit and water?” 

He places his hand on his chest “Yes I promise” 

“Okay good” you turn to face the bar, watching the tv again 

Angel turns to face EZ moving closer “What are you doing?” he asks EZ

EZ scrunches his face in confusion  “Watching the game” 

“Chucho! Yo! Let me get 3 Coronas!” Angel shouts before returning his attention to EZ “You can’t sit next to a beautiful woman and not speak!” 

“Angel” EZ warns 

Angel rolls his eyes “Give it a try hermano damn! Life is too short!” EZ flashes him a warning look “For pops! Por favor! He is worried about you! We all are men, just...” Angel wiggled and raised his brows “woo her or do some shit!” he grabbed the beers “good looking out Chucho!” 

EZ took in a deep breath after Angel walked away and watched as you danced and bopped around. He smiled at you before talking. 

“You a dancer or something?” 

You turned to face him “Excuse me?” 

He moved closer to you, leaning close to your ear and repeated 

You shake your head “Oh no! Not really!” 

“You got some moves though” he compliments You blush in response shaking your head 

“So do you like football?” 

You shrug “A little” 

“I used to play in high school!” 

You smile “I know” 

“How you know that?” 

“Felipe told me, you know our parents were family friends right?” 

“Oh shit I didn't know” No wonder Felipe had a lot of intel on you, he thinks to himself. 

You smile “Well the more you know huh?” 

“Yea” 

“So you and your clique, how’d you meet?” 

“Oh we met at the hospital we worked in San Diego” “Big city girl” he flashes you his infamous smile You blush switching weights from one foot to the other “Not Really” 

EZ looks down “Your feet hurt?” You look down following his gaze “Oh no!” by now your feet were numb 

EZ gets up from the bar stool he was sitting on “have a seat” 

You put your hand up to stop him “Oh no it’s okay really” 

“I don’t mind really” he smiles at you moving out of the way

“Okay” you slide on or at least you think you are until your foot slips and you almost faceplant on the ground. If EZ didn’t catch you, you definitely would have. 

You hear him chuckle “you good” he asks helping you get situated on the stool You sit up straight up and face the bar “yup” you say placing your hands flat on the surface of the bar. 

“If it makes you feel any better I’ve fallen on my face too” You giggle looking up at him “that helps” 

“So you like Santo Padre so far?” 

“Si” “Ah tu hablas espanol?” “Si” “¿Cuáles son tus raíces? Eres Mexicana?” (what are your roots? Are you Mexican)

“No soy Honduran baby” 

“Nice!” 

“Did that hurt?” you say pointing to the snake tattoo on his arm

“Nah” “What does it mean?” He shrugs “did something stupid” “Okay” “Got any?” 

You smile “No but I want some?”

“Yea?” 

“Yea but I think I have out grown that” “Never too old for a tattoo what do you want to get?” 

“Oh I...” You stop as you watch the commotion heading your way. 

“He yours?” A biker asks as two of them are holding up Asher 

“Y/N!!! Best Friend” You smile “Yea” you turn to look at EZ “Well looks like it’s time for me to go” the boys practically carry Asher to your car “thanks guys, sorry for anything he did” you close the backseat door closing Asher in,

“Nah he’s good just fucked up” They walk away leaving you and EZ standing by your car “Y/N!!! I want a burger and frieeeess bitch!” Asher yells from the back seat 

EZ chuckles 

“Ay Dios” 

“You good to drive?” EZ asks “Yea!” “Sure?” 

“Promise” he gives you a wary look. You stick out your foot balancing on the other “Z, Y, X, W,” While alternating hands while touching your nose with your finger 

“Okay you’re good!” EZ laughs

“See!” “Well you have to tell me you reached safely” he says licking his lips making you feel a flutter in places you didn’t think would 

“Y/N” Asher calls to you “Whaatttt?” 

“Burger!” 

“No!” you scold looking at him through the open window  

EZ chuckles “You two are something else” 

“Bitch!” he insults 

“Dick!” You retort. You turn to look at EZ “You have my number?” wondering how were you going to tell him your were okay He points his thumb back towards the club house “I can get it from Bishop” 

“Or”  you pull out your phone “you can just put in here” you say handing him your phone 

He smirks taking it from you “Smooth” You smile at him “I try!” you flirt back

“Y/N What's going on? Where is my food!” You roll your eyes “Asher Michaelson!” 

“Oooh” he sits up “Y/N Y/L/N  I’m scared” 

“Here saved” EZ says handing you back your phone “Thanks” you take it from him. He opens the door for you to get in. “Thanks EZ” 

“Drive safe” You nod as he closes the door 

“Thanks aga..” “On second thought I don’t think I should eat, I feel sick!” Asher interrupts you 

“Asher, I swear to God if you throw up in my goddamn car!” “I won’t if you will stop flirting with that Greek god reincarnated!” he says plopping back down on the seat 

“Omg” you blush “bye EZ have a good night” you say switching the gear to drive 

“Drive safe Y/N” 

He watches until your car disappears in the night

Master List 

Redemption Chapter 2

“Welcome to Sweet Bakes! What can I get you?”  You greet as you were busy distracted with the boxes you were in the process of folding

“See there she is Valentina!”  the name catches your attention and you lookup to find Angel, Ez, and Valentina in your store 

“Oh hi!” 

“Hiii” Valentina waves

“What can I get you today?” 

“Go ahead” Angel nudges the young girl in front of you 

She steps forward, hands held together at the front “I just wanted to say thank you!” 

“Oh you’re welcome Valentina! Do you want a cupcake?”

She nodded excitedly “You gotta ask your dad first” “Dad can I?” 

Angel nods “Yea baby girl get whatever you want”

She walks up to the glass reading the names “Oooh chocolate and vanilla and cotton candy and strawberry and oreo!” 

“Is that it?” you ask as you see her eyes looking at the various other flavors

“Yea!” 

You place the cupcakes in the box and hand them to her “here you go on the house” 

“Oh nah I was gonna pay for them!” Angel says pulling out his wallet 

You shake your head and wave his hand away “I’m serious on the house!” 

“Valentina what do we say” 

“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” she turns to Ez “Uncle Z look!” 

“It looks yummy, Miss Y/N is a nice lady huh?” Ez entertains her “Yea!” she grins 

You smile “Do you guys want any?”

“Shit shoot shoot” “Swear Jar Daddy” He playfully rolls his eyes “I know I know Let me get that dulce de leche and chocolate peanut butter” he turned to look at EZ “you sure you don’t want any bro?” 

Ez shakes his head holding his hands up “Nah I’m good” 

Angel scoffs “This guy health freak” 

“Says the man who can’t walk up a flight of steps!” Ez shoots back 

You giggle as you put the cupcakes into small package “Here you go Angel”

“Thanks” “I know it looks like we came to raid your stock but we are having a founders day party next weekend on Saturday  and we wanted to know if you could make us a cake” Angel says holding onto the box

“Oh yea sure!” 

“This we will pay for” Ez comments

You chuckle “Okay let me get my notepad” you state as you walk to the other side of the counter “Okay first how many people?” 

“Hundreds” Angel responds 

You look up “What is hundreds?” 

He shrugs “Like more than 100 people at least” 

“Wow big party” 

“Yea, that’s why you’re the woman for the job” 

You chuckle “Flavor?” 

“Bishop thought you could do half vanilla and half chocolate” Ez answers 

“Sure! Any special designs?” 

“Yea we want the Mayans Mc logo on it and the founding date 1954, with a map of Santo Padre in the background” 

“Okay” you write down the description 

“We also wanted cupcakes and those can be the flavors you have here” 

“Okay buttercream icing?” 

“Yes” you look at Valentina and see she is licking the icing off her fingers, you smile in return 

“Where am I dropping off the cake? Or are you coming to pick it up?” 

“Oh uh Bishop will call and give you instructions” Ez answers

“Okay sheet pan cake okay?” 

“Sheet pan?” Angel asks

“What does that mean?” Ez asks as well

“Sorry do you want the cake to be round or square or a funky shape?” 

Ez shrugs “You pick” 

“How many layers?” “Wow all of this goes into a cake?” You smile “You have no idea, so how many?” They both look at each other and shrug “Is two okay?” 

“Yea i guess” Ez answers

“Okay and any filling on the inside?” 

“Nah just icing” 

“Okay I think 2 full sheet pan cakes put together will work should be more than enough especially if you are going to have cupcakes and all.” They nod in agreement “How many cupcakes 2 dozen?” 

“Make it 3” Ez answers 

You nod and look at your paper making sure you got everything “Is that it?” 

“Yea just let us know how much” 

“Okay let me calculate”  you say as you type on your iPad “Okay the price is $740” 

“Cool we’ll let Bishop know” 

“Okay great. Let me know if there’s anything you want to add” 

“Cool” 

With that you watch as they walk away saying your goodbyes

You employ the help of Asher and Camila to help you with the large order. You found yourselves struggling to get the large cake in the back of the truck. 

“Whew that was hard!” Asher comments 

“Okay let me pull up Bishop’s number” you say typing it into your phone 

“Oh I know where the club house is!” Camila interjects 

Asher whips around and looks towards the back seat where she is sitting “How do you know young lady?” 

“Because Me and Coco” she begins to blush 

“Whattt spill right now!” Asher demands

“Well you know that's my beau” she answer smugly 

You smile as you drive to the location. You pass your house and Asher’s on the way, the drive is a 35 minute drive through windy roads till you come up to the gate

“Hey it's me we have the cake!” You say to Chucky who looks at you with hesitancy until he remembered the party today 

“Oh yes, let me open the gate!” 

“Pull up right there!” He instructs to the small opening between bikes 

You park the car in reverse and get out. There were already bikes filling up the space

“I can hold the door!” Chucky offers

“Thank you Chucky!” 

Asher’s hand slips “Oh shit!” 

You glare at him “Don’t drop it!” 

“I will not but you have to admit this cake is big and heavy” 

“Hush!” You scorn as you guys walk up the steps 

The commotion at the door draws Bishops and everyone else's attention, they all rush to you three  “Oh fuck why didn’t you call me we could have helped here let us take over!” they replace you and place it delicately on a table in the middle of the room 

You blow out a deep breath and look around the area taking in the decor at the club house

Asher walks back in with the cupcakes 

“You want to see?” You ask ask before you open the box

“Yes!” He turns to look around the club house “Yo! Come look at the cake!” he Feet scurry to where you were standing and you slowly lift up the box. “I hope you like it, you step aside to watch them take it all in. The cake was everything Ez had asked  you to do but more. You had added intricate details of Santo Padre and the road that led to the club house with motorcycles on the road with the Mayans Mc logo in the middle  along with the est. date on top and Southern California below. 

“Shit you are one talented woman!” Hank comments

“Do you like it?” you ask looking around 

“Hell yea!” Bishop says smiling 

“Glad” Asher hands you the cupcakes  “oh and the cupcakes, I made uh the cupcakes with motorcycles, leather jackets and helmets with different flavors” You say before opening one box. The leather jackets, helmets, and motorcycles sat on top of the icing. 

“This looks so good thank you, you out did yourself!” Bishop comments

“Oh you’re welcome, I have plates forks and cutting serving spoons in the bag,'' he smiled at you. “So Asher and I are gonna get going, Camila said” “I’m staying to party with Coco” She says as she kisses his cheek

There are few chuckles around the room watching Coco blush 

“Before you go”  Bishop pulled out his wallet “Ez told me 700 but here is 1100” 

“Oh no this is too much take back 400” you say going to remove money from the stack he gave you 

Bishop stops you “Nah i insist all this hard work you put in” 

“I really don’t mind its”

Asher takes it from you and puts in in his pocket “Thank you she appreciates it” 

You cut your eyes and turn to face Asher. Bishop chuckles bringing your attention back to him with a smile on your face “I hope you enjoy the cake and the party” 

“Why don’t you come join us?” 

“Oh I..” 

Camila abruptly leaves Coco’s side and wraps her arms around you and Asher “Yes! that would be perfect!” 

You look down “I have to go get ready” 

“Yea yea no problem party is just getting started” 

You look at Asher for confirmation 

“Yea him too come drink and be merry not working tonight are you?” Bishop asked 

You both shake your head

“Okay well I insist” 

You and Asher smile “Okay we will be back” Asher responds 

You both walk away 

“Are we really about to attend a biker gang party?” Asher asks as you turn on the key to start the car 

You turn to look at him just as confused “Yes?” 

“Really?” 

“I think if we don’t come it will look bad Bishop insisted” you stress the last part

“That he did” Asher nods rigidly 

“Okay let's hurry up and get back!”
