I liked little towns, it was easy to keep the locals safe and the cops in your pocket. I thought as I rode through Charming California with a small group of the Devil's pulled in at a diner and sat down. These locals, however, were suspicious of another bike club.
"I guess the Mayans have been given the Sons some trouble." my vice president, Dawn said, speaking my mind.
"Those wetbacks give everyone shi'." I said, my accent harsh in the surroundings. "We're here to see if the Sons can give us a bi' o' help with the bastards. Remember?"
"I remember. I dont like the idea of being ponies for their guns, but we have to do what we have to do." She said.
"We will see if they'll be partners, we've got the munition sales, they have guns, guns need ammunition, we have ammunition an' need guns." I said. "Just until we can get on our feet again lass. The IRA won' deal to us any more since they learned who I am, the neds."
"What can I get you?" The waitress asked us.
"Water fer me lass." I said, she stared at my face longer than necessary. My scars often drew attention, especially since I was a woman. The rest of my friends ordered. Soon after we heard the roar of motorcycles and four men, the Sons, parked near us, and strode in. I stood up to greet them.
"Gentlemen, thank ye fer comin'." I said. An older man with silver hair shook my hand.
"Im Clay, the President of the Sons of Anarchy." He said. "Where is your president?" He asked.
"Yer talkin' to me. Im Brónach, the President and founder of the Devil's Daughters." He frowned.
"You're really young." He said.
"I've done a lot and Im old enough to have had a hard life, but the newness of our club is one of the reasons we're looking fer yer help." He nodded. "This is Dawn, my V.P., Rosemary, the sergeant at arms and her prospect Ginny." I introduced them.
"My V.P and stepson Jax, Chibs the sergeant at arms and his prospect Half Sack." I smiled.
"Theres go' ta be a good story behind tha'." I said to Half Sack as I shook his hand, as I had done to each man in turn. Chibs had been last, but when I got to him I had the same scars as frowned and looked as surprised as I felt.
"Down ta business then." I said as everyone sat. " My proposition is clear, we have munition, bu' no guns. Ye have guns an' no munition. We work tagether, a package deal. I have customers who don' buy from ye, an' ye have customers tha' don' buy from us."
"We each bring new customers to the others business." Clay nodded.
"Aye, somthin' like tha'." I felt Chibs' eyes on me the whole time.
"Mind if we sample the product?" Jax asked.
"No' at all, so long as we ge' ta sample yers." Dawn said. We all smiled.
"Well, I think that so long a we like your products and you like ours we'll have the beginnings of a new partnership." Clay said.
"Do ye know of a place we can sample the products?" I asked, I wanted to get as much done as I could while we were here.
"We have a warehouse up the road a can follow us to it, sample there." Chibs said, his nickname suited him, he most likely got his scars from a blade.
"Mind if we have lunch first? We came from Arizona, its a long ride." I said.
"Mind if we join you?" Jax asked.
"Not at all." Rosemary said. We ordered our food and waited, while we did, the moment I feared came up.
"How did you get those scars Bonach?" Half Sack asked.
"Its Brónach." I corrected. " Just call me Smiles or Smiley. The ladies do." My friends chuckled.
"So Smiley, how did you get your scars?" Chibs asked, a little smile of amusement played across his lips at my nickname.
" South side Glasgow is a dangerous place. When I was 22 local neds belonging to a group mugged and raped me, they mark their victims like this." I gestured to the scars. "So Chibs Ive gathered yer a fellow scott, so whats yer story?" I asked, he smiled.
"The IRA." He said. I smiled.
"Theres go' ta be more than tha'." I said.
"Aye, there is, bu' tha' gets the story across fer now." The scottsman was attractive, and he kept eyeing me. After we ate we followed the Sons to their warehouse, I noticed that Chibs stayed near me. And soon we found that we both supply high quality products, and came to the agreement.
"Do you mind us hanging around Charming a few days? It would be shame to ride all the way oot 'ere ta jus' turn around." Clay smiled.
"Not at all, you and members are welcome in Charming so long as we dont have any issues."
"Well, I hope it ne'er comes ta tha' I've heard aboot wha' happens ta those who cross ye." Several other members from the Sons had joined us. I noticed Tigger was hanging around Dawn, Ginny and Half Sack were talking constantly, and Chibs stayed near me. Rosemary spoke with Juice.
"It would be a shame." Clay agreed.
"Bu' should ye ever think o' crossin' us, these women can figh'. Don' underestimate us. My friend, we can be a powerful ally, or a fearsome enemy." I said, Clay nodded.
"Ill keep that in mind. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some things I need to take care of."
"Of course sir."I said. Then I turned to Chibs and smiled.
"Yer a long way from home." He said.
"Aye, an' so are ye." I said.
" The razor gang copy cats got ye?" He asked. I sat on my bike.
"Aye, tha's wha' they tell me. I never saw the attackers." I said quietly.
"Ye seem alright with it." He said, sitting on his bike next to me. I shrugged.
"The pas' is the pas', I can' be mad at shadows ferever. I learned from it, and it's made me who I am taday, tha's wha' coun's." I said. He nodded. "I won' ever tolerate rape of anyone. If yer gang is inta tha' and I find oot, it'll be a deal breaker." I told him. He shook his head.
"Not at all, we don' tolerate it either." He said, I nodded.
"Good."
"Smiley, whats the plan?" Rosemary asked.
"Do as ye please lass, we leave wednesday, but don' be causing trouble in Charming." I warned them. "Meet me at tha' diner we had lunch at taday, wednesday at eight am, if I don' see your sorry bawheed before then." The girls smiled.
"See ya Smiles." The said before taking off.
"Why do ye le' them do tha'?" Chibs asked.
"Why do you le' them call ye chibs? We both know wha' it means. It's my way of bein' who I doesn' hurt me and its a physical appearance, much like yer Half Sack lad, Im assumin'." He smiled.
"I see yer poin'." He said. I really liked this bastart.
"Why don' ye show me around yer wee town? Perhaps we could go get a drink and talk." I said.
"I would be much obliged." He said, I threw my leg over the bike and pulled on my helmet, then followed the scotsman down the road.
We ended up at a bar, where we talked about various things for a long while, none of which included his tale with the IRA, but I wouldnt push, not everyone with the Glasgow Grin was as comfortable as I am with there we went to his apartment where we got blootered. I was laughing at one of his stories, while we sat on the couch, our jackets laid across the backs of chairs, and I had kicked off my boots.
"Its a shame they did this to ye." He said, touching my scars, after a moment of silence."You're a beautiful woman, bu' I think a large par' of yer beauty comes from your confidence, even with them." He held my gaze for a moment, before I looked away.
"Yer jus' flatterin' this boot. "I said quietly.I felt his fingers under my chin, they forced me to look up at him.
"Yer no boot lass, an' Im no' jus' flatterin' ye." He said. My heart skipped, it had been a long time since any man had called me beautiful, well before i got the Grin. I touched his cheek.
"Chibs, I…."I didnt know what to say. "I don' know wha' ta say." I said.
"Then don' say anythin' love." He whispered, leaning in closely. I felt my eyes fall shut, I could smell the whiskey on his breath that played across my face. When our lips touched,I could feel his honesty, and it set my head a buzzing, I put my hands on his shoulders, slightly unsure of what to do with on the other hand seemed to have no trouble at all knowing what to do. I felt his hands on my sides. Then they moved one slid up to the middle of my back as the other one moved to the small of my back, just above the waistline to my pulled me closer, held me tighter. I felt our passion rise, his tongue danced over my lips.I felt my lips part our tongues explored and played. I was almost lost in the moment when he started to lay me down, but I remembered I didnt even know his real name. Chibs and I had a connection, I couldnt deny it,but i put my hand on his chest and pushed back lightly.
"I dont even know yer name." I said. "Whats more is no man has touched me in ten years." I whispered.
"It's Filip." He said breathlessly. "Ah don' care if nothin's touched ye in ten years."
"Chibs suits ye." I said. "Filip, no man, no woman would touch me after the grin. And I had never been touched before." I whispered. It was an embarrassing secret, I had never had sex. Except the night I was raped and I dont think it eyes widened, slightly when he got the message.
"Yer pure?" He asked, a strange look on his face.
"No, I was raped. But I wouldnt know the first thing aboot anythin' when it comes ta sex. Aside from what I was told in school. Chibs, no one else knows this, I'd like to keep it that way." I was beyond embarrassed, but it was better that he knew.
"Then we should wait lass. If I am the first man tha' ye chose. It shouldn' happen when we're jaked." He put his hand on my cheek, and i leaned into his palm. " An' I won' tell any one." He promised. Then he smiled."For the leader of one of the few female biker gangs ye sure are soft."He said.
"Very few people see this side of me." I said. "Its too vulnerable, an' I don' know why I broke like this." He pulled me into his lap and hugged me.
"It's alright lass." He said. I rested my head against his chest and listened to the steady beating of his heart. I smiled, I liked this, but I had liked the kissing better. I reached up and brought his head down.
"Jus' kissing." He said. I nodded.
"Jus' kissin'." I agreed. He shifted me so that we could reach each other easier. Our lips touched, I wrapped my arms around his neck. He was so gentle with me, it nearly broke my heart. There was a knock on his door at first we tried to ignore it, but it came again more insistent. He sighed,
"Jus' a momen'." He stood up still holding me, then put me down on the couch. I heard him answer the door, but thats it. I fell asleep.
