breath.  It wasn’t Mace’s fault.  This was her job.  She knew the woman didn’t want Pick, she had her eyes on another brother, but she had to do her job.  Candy met the woman’s eyes and saw the dull almost-dead look in them and she pitied her.
    She looked up to Ink who had taken a seat at the bar and was probably waiting for her to fall apart.
    “Thank you.”  She mouthed as she cut her eyes around the room.  This could have been her life.  Ink had saved her by offering her a respectable job.  He had fought the brothers for her too.  Women were to be strippers and whores, they weren’t employees, but Ink hadn’t backed down and he had changed the course of her life.
    He sent her an easy wink which caused the metal in his eyebrow to catch the light.  He was different from the other brothers, Angel was a lucky woman.
    “Hey hot stuff!”  Angel said as she bumped Candy’s hip.
    “Speak of the devil and she will appear.”  Candy murmured with a grin.
    “Lusting after me again?  Now Candy we’ve talked about this…”  Angel winked and bumped her again.
    “You’re just so damned sexy!”  Candy threw her hands up in a helpless gesture.  She felt lighter already.  No one could be gloomy around Angel.  Angel was nothing like Candy had thought she would be, being the president’s daughter she could have shunned Candy, but she had chosen to befriend her instead.  It had meant the world to Candy and she had secretly feared things would change now that Pick was making it clear that he didn’t intend to patch her.
    Angel was a tiny woman with big blue eyes that always seemed to sparkle with mischief.  Her long dark hair hung in waves that seemed to get on Angel’s nerves, but Candy had seen the way Ink wrapped the long mass around his hand as he pulled his little wife in for a kiss and she suspected Angel kept the hair for him.
    Tonight Angel’s eyes were especially bright and that was never a good sign.  Angel had a reputation for causing mischief.
    “Why are you grinning?”  Candy asked with narrowed eyes.
    “Maybe ‘cause I know a secret!”  Angel popped an olive into her mouth and her grin widened.
    “Tell, tell!  Who is it about?”
    Angel made a show of zipping her lips and locking them.
    “Come on Angel, I need this.”  Angel followed her eyes as they landed on Pick.
    “Wouldn’t be much fun if it wasn’t about you.”
    Candy’s eyes rounded.  “Me?”  Her eyes shot to Toothpick again.  He had his head thrown back now.  The light caught his platinum hair and made him look like he glowed, even if at the moment he was blowing his load down Mace’s throat.
    Angel slapped her on the arm.  “And it would NOT be any fun if it included that douche wagon!”  She rolled her eyes and shivered.  “Honestly I think he is more disgusting than he was when he went in.  I never figured out why you wanted him…  Anyway!  Daddy thinks you have earned a break and Ink agrees.  You, my lovely friend are going back to school!  Here’s to moving the fuck on!”
    “Wait I can’t afford school and I don’t even have a dependable car.”  The one she drove to work was not fit to go more than a few miles at a time.
    “Yeah, I didn’t finish.”  Angel grinned like she was embarrassed.  “The boys had been putting money back, just a little here and there to help you and Pick get on your feet again when he got out.  Well since he is the biggest douche wagon, my new favorite insult, on the planet, the boys decided to split it.”  She raised a brow.  “That is pretty huge in itself, but you have been more loyal than Pick and really stepped up when Ace was sick so you are officially the first and probably only recipient of the Defenders MC Scholarship.”
    Several of the brothers had moved to the bar and they all gave a drunken cheer as Angel made the announcement.  Angel held up her hands for quiet, she really loved theatrics.
