Undercover at the MC (book 2) - Navy and West
Ouch

POV: West

So... This day turned to shit!

I just had an MRI scan and will get the results soon, according to the doctor it will take half an hour so I'm impatiently waiting for him to show his face again.

I think it's all bullshit, I feel fine so why do all this nonsense?

My cell phone is also dead, so I can't ask Navy about my bike right now... I swear to you... If it's broken... I'm going to make a scene.

A nurse comes in and looks at my bandages on my arms, there were some abrasions but nothing serious.

"Can I help you with anything?" she asks and I shake my head and close my eyes, but before she walks out of the room I suddenly think of something.

''OH! Do you have a charger for my phone? One with USB C'' I mumble and she indicates that she will take a look for me. 5 minutes later she comes back and tells me that I can use her charger for a while, but that she wants it back when she leaves in 2 hours. I thank her with a wink and my signature smirk and I see a blush come to her cheeks, luckily I haven't lost my charm yet.

When my phone is back on I see that I have no message from Navy...

Nothing, nada, nope!

How am I supposed to know how my motorcycle is doing?

How am I supposed to know what's going on with Chef?

I decide to send him a message, since he doesn't send me anything...

Am I whining? Maybe!

But I'm allowed to do that at the moment because I'm in the hospital.

West: How's my baby?

Two check marks appear and not much later I see that he is online and has read it. But what does the jerk do? He is not responding! I know I'm acting like a whining bitch but I'm bored and I want to get out of here.

West: Answer me dude!

Again there are two blue check marks but no response, I sigh and close the app. My head is exploding and I could use some pain medication. I press the button for the nurse and wait patiently (ahem) for her to finally walk into my room.

“What can I help you with?” she says as she looks at the monitor showing my vital signs.

"Can I have some pain medication?" I ask and she nods.

"Yes, what's bothering you?" she asks and I frown, she knows I fell on my head, right?

"Headache" I growl and she tells me that she will consult with the doctor but that it is probably allowed.

I lay my head on the pillow and close my eyes, there was no need to worry so much about the fact that I hadn't heard from Navy yet... This headache is probably my own doing. My cell phone pings a few times and I feel my heart skip a beat, could that be Navy? And then suddenly I get irritated with myself because I really wanted him to text back... Like I missed him...

I really hit my head too hard.

Navy: I'm fine, thanks for asking!

I laugh out loud at his answer, but I also notice that my heart is beating even faster.

Navy: Kidding... Your baby is fine. She goes back to the club with the trailer.

Navy: Steel wants me to come to the club

Navy: Fuck him

Navy: You'll see me in 15 minutes

West: Thank you for taking care of my baby.

West: See you soon

The door opens just as I finish talking to Navy and the nurse looks at me with a grin.

"Who makes you smile like that?" she says with a laugh and for the first time I notice that I have a huge grin on my face. I clear my throat and scrunch up my face, shrug my shoulders sheepishly and look away.

"Here, take these two pills and you'll feel better soon" she says as she puts two pills in my hand and gives me a cup of water. I take the pills and thank her, she gives me a wink and tells me that the doctor will be there soon with some results. 10 minutes later the doctor walks in, checks my heart rate and blood pressure and nods approvingly.

''It looks good Chris, there is no abnormality in your brain and as far as I'm concerned you can go home straight away. You just have to be woken up every 2 hours the next night, to make sure everything is okay" he says and my eyes widen.

"Every two hours??" I exclaim in surprise and I see that the doctor has to suppress a grin.

''Yes, that is my demand for your dismissal. If you don't think this will work at home, you should stay here one night'' he says sternly and I sigh deeply.

What kind of torture is this? I value my sleep and hate it when someone wakes me up before my alarm goes off.

"It's okay doctor, there are plenty of people who would like to wake this asshole up at night" I hear a deep voice say and I can't suppress a grin. Navy walks into the room with a grin and the doctor nods at him approvingly.

"Great, do you agree with that too, Chris?" he asks and I suddenly realize that Navy now knows my real name, but I don't mind it as much as I thought.

"Agreed, doctor" I mutter grumblingly and the doctor says that he is going to arrange my discharge papers.

"So... Chris..." Navy says with raised eyebrows and I shrug sheepishly. Navy comes to stand next to my bed and extends his hand, I look at him confused but shake his hand.

“Asher, nice to meet you” he says and I chuckle as I shake his hand.

"Pleasure" I say and Asher chuckles as he sits down in the chair next to my bed.

“How are you?” he asks and I shrug my shoulder and let my head fall back on the pillow.

''Well okay I guess? As you heard, I can go home soon. My head is mainly bothering me, but the abrasions aren't too bad... So far'' I say and he nods attentively.

"What did Steel want?" I ask and Asher rolls his eyes.

Asher... It's weird to call him that in my head and we both have to remember that we're not doing this at the club.

''As you know we had to go back because of Chef's disappearance. And Prez and Steel thought you were alright here, so I had to come to the club'' he mumbles with a roll of his eyes.

"Let's just hope you don't get into too much trouble" I chuckle and he shrugs nonchalantly.

"I'll work an extra shift in the garage" he says and I'm sure Steel will quickly forgive him given the workload at the moment.

"Thanks for coming here" I mumble and he gives me a smile but doesn't say anything, there's a strange look in his eyes and I wonder what he's thinking about.

It really takes way too long for the doctor to finally make the papers, but I am finally released from the hospital.

I'm currently riding on the back of Asher's motorcycle as we ride to the club. I just put my hands on my thighs much to the dismay of Asher who wanted me to grab him so there was less chance of me falling. I don't know what it is... But since our conversation this afternoon I feel so different around him.

And I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way...

Somewhere in the back of my mind I feel like he meant it when he said: And what if I said yes. Because the more I thought about it lately, the more I realized that he shows absolutely no interest in the Devil's girls, or any other lady for that matter.

And the look in his eyes when I laughed...

I can see his face everytime in my head, and even though he is good at hiding his emotions, I know him quite well after the past 2 years. I intend to have a conversation with him sometime in the coming days... Because if he is... Then he is still just as good my friend as before.

So if he is afraid to come out, there is no need for that.

Another voice in the back of my mind whispers to me that it is very selfish that I think this way, because I am also searching in my sexuality... But I quickly push that voice back and ignore it, because I don't want to go in that direction right now.

But I can't ignore... How good it felt to kiss him two years ago.

I'm pulled out of my thoughts when the bike comes to a stop and I see that we've already arrived at the club. I feel like the ride has flown by, and that is not due to the speed at which Asher drives on the road... But purely because of my wandering thoughts.

We walk in and I'm surprised at how quiet it is, I expected more people to be there after Hammer called a meeting.

''West! Navy! Office!'' Ink shouts across the room and we walk like two good dogs towards Hammer's office.

"Are you okay West?" Morgan asks from behind the bar and I give her a thumbs up and a wink, she laughs and shakes her head after which she continues with what she was doing. We walk into Hammer's office and I see Steel and Ink leaning against the wall with steely faces.

“Sit down guys,” our prez growls from behind his desk and I see a gloomy look in his eyes.

"First of all... How are you doing, West?" he asks with a raised eyebrow.

"Great prez, a concussion and some scratches so it's not too bad" I say and he nods approvingly.

"Good" he mumbles after which he is silent for a moment, I look sideways at Asher but he is completely focused on Hammer.

''Chef is currently missing, we have no idea where he is. There are some problems in his family but he never said much about it. I hope you understand that we now have to look around carefully to see if we see him... We are also trying to see if we can track him via his mobile because he is not answering his mobile. Morgan is going to see if she can replace someone temporarily to help her in the kitchen, but until then... We should enjoy Morgan's cooking'' he says and Asher and I nod like good puppies.

"Is there anything else we can do?" Asher asks next to me and Hammer shakes his head.

''No, Chef has been a member for years and would never just disappear, so I am concerned. But he has struggled with his family before but never wanted to involve the police, so we keep this within the club. We're going to come up with a plan of action, but right now there's not much we can do except look and wait for signs of life" he says, after which he stands up.

"Oh and men... No complaining about my wife's food" he says with a raised finger and everyone chuckles.
