Lana POV:

Sarah and I went to check on dad the following day.

"Hey ya feelin' old man?" Sarah asked. "Well I'm not hurting 24/7 so that's something." Dad replied. "Got you on the good shit?" I asked with a small laugh.

"So I've heard you girls are spending a lot of time with Kade and Ryder." Dad told us.

"Damn good body gaurds. Ryder beat the hell out of Cole yesterday." Sarah said making my eyes widen.

"You saw Cole?" Dad asked. "Hey came by the apartment while we were having dinner." I said quietly. "Are you okay?" Dad asked, worriedly. "I'm fine, dad. It was taken care of." I replied.

Dad sighs heavily before responding. "If you say so."

Ryder POV:

"Have you told Sarah yet?" I asked Kade as we sat on his balcony, beers in hand.

"Have you told Lana?" He replied. I hate it when he turns this shit around on me.

"For a man that doesn't scare easy, I'm a fucking pussy when it comes to Lan. I've never been too afraid to talk to a woman, but Lana scares the shit out of me." I told Kade. "Why?" He asked. "What if she doesn't feel the same, I guess?" I replied. "We are in the same frame of mind then, brother." Kade told me.

It never took effort for me to get a woman in bed because I wasn't a nervous wreck. When I look at Lana though, I didn't want just sex with her. I wanted her. And I was too fucking scared to tell her.

Lana and I had been friends for so long and our friendship was finally back on track. I guess I was afraid because if I told her, and she doesn't feel the same, then it could ruin our friendship forever.

Lana POV:

I was by the pool in the backyard of the club house while glancing at Sarah who was giggling at her phone.

"What's so funny?" I asked. She cheeks turned pink before looking at me. "I'm talking to Kade." She replied.

I couldn't help myself. A large grin spread across my face.

"Let me see!" I said excitedly, reaching for her phone. She kept it out of my reach shaking her head.

I crossed my arms and pouted lightly. "Why not?" I asked.

An idea came to my head and I smirked. "Is it nasty?" I asked holding back my laugh.

"No, Lana! Gross!" She yelled. "Bitch, please. You ain't no saint." I said, the cocky grin still on my face.

I gave up when Sarah frowned and shook her head again.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and saw I had a message from Ryder.

Ryder: How's the boss?

Better. Old man is one tough son of a bitch.

Ryder: Right, you are.

So you're Yoda now? Lol

Ryder: A much sexier version.

His message made me laugh lightly.

"What's up?" Sarah asked. "Ryder." I replied. "Is it nasty?" She mocked me. "Fuck off." I said, laughing at her.

Ryder POV:

My phone dinged in my pocket. Thinking it was Lana, I opened the message, only to see it's from an unknown number.

Unknown: Your little girlfriend looks sexy in that bikini top and those short shorts. Makes me wonder what else she has on under it.
