"Excuse me Ma'am?" Gemma looked up from her paperwork and looked at the tall leggy ashy blond hair woman standing in front of her.
"Can I help dearie?" She asked looking at her over the rim of her glasses. The woman in front of her pull off the wrap around shades .
"I hope so I'm looking Juan Ortiz he's an old friend of mine." The stranger said as she sat down across from Gemma. "We've stayed in touch over the years and he told me this is where he works." She said trying not to twist her fingers nervously. "I wanted to surprise him."
"I'll show you where Juicy boy is but before that who in the hell are you." Gemma asked she stood up, coming around the desk to stand in front of the young woman.
"I'm Nikaia Coulson if he's mentioned me he probably just calls me Nik." She said her almost silver eyes glinting in amusement.
"So you're Nik." Gemma looked her over again dressed in a dark purple gypsy style skirt, a cropped white wife beater showing off quite a bit of skin, several tattoos dancing over skin, a grey denim vest with various patches on it and a pair of black platform sandals. "I'll show you where he is." She said with a smirk.
"Thanks though I never did get your name." Nik said following Gemma out of the office.
"Gemma I help run things around here." Nik just nodded as she followed Gemma through the garage a small smile on her face at the looks she was getting.
"He's over there." Gemma said pointing to Juice who was busy tearing apart a motorcycle.
"Thanks Gemma." She said giving a small wave as she made her way over to her oldest friend.
"Who is that?" Tig asked as he and clay came over. Gemma just rolled her eyes at Tig's tone.
"Don't even think about it Tig she's a friend of Juice's." She said waiting for Juice's reaction. Tig just raised an eyebrow before shaking his head and going back to work.
"From where, that girl certainly ain't from around here." Clay said watching Nik.
"New York." Was all Gemma said as she watched the scene unfold.
Nik smiled as she came up behind Juice and noticed the wires from his headphones. She reached up and pulled one out of his left ear causing him to stop.
"What the h-" He stopped mid rant as he saw and was up from his seat and swinging her around. Nik just laughed at her friend's childish antics as finally set her down.
"Hi Carlos." She said giving him a quick kiss to the nose. He just wiped his nose and glared at her.
"Do you always have to do that?" He asked looking down at her.
"Yes because I know how much it bugs you." She said as he pulled her into a proper hug.
"Gods I missed you Nik." He said as Chibs came over.
"Well well well…Juicy boy who is this lovely young lass." Juice just smirked at one of the men he truly called his friends.
"Chibs I'd like you to meet Nikaia Coulson my oldest friend. Nik this is Chibs Telford." Nik just smiled from her place where she was almost snuggled under Juice's arm.
"Nice to meet you." She said before twirling out from under Juice's arm. "Now when are you off my dear Carlos cause you and I need to go catch up and have some fun?" Juice just rolled his eyes.
"Around five and what were you thinking?" He said going back to work on the motorcycle as she grabbed a chair and took seat next to him while he worked.
"Well I was thinking drinks and food at my place I'm cooking." She watching Juice perk up at the mention of her cooking. "I've learned a few new things since we were able to hang last so what do ya say?" Juice just smirked.
"I say I'll be there after my shift is over." He said with a small smile. She leaned over kissed the top of his head before walking away.
"You bring the booze Carlos." She said walking away her hips swaying and skirt swirling around her feet. "I'll text you for when and where." She called raising an arm over her head in goodbye.
"Wow Juicy boy you got one hell of lady friend there." Chibs said watching her walk away.
"Trust me you have no idea. I'm just glad she's here right now." He said with a smirk as Clay and Tig came up to him.
"So friend of yours Juice?" Tig asked as took the seat vacated by Nik.
"Yeah that's Nik, told you guys about her before." Juice said shaking his head as he kept working.
"You never mentioned that Nik was one hell of a babe." Tig said trying to get a reaction out of Juice.
"Tig trust me on this she wouldn't give you the time of day." Juice said turning towards the Sergeant at Arms.
"You really think that Juicy Boy?" Juice just rolled his eyes and went back to the motorcycle.
"Yeah I really know that Tig now can you get off my ass about Nik so I can finish this cause I really don't want to miss her cooking and she gets pissy when people back out last minute." He said trying to focus on the project.
"Invite your friend to our next family dinner its Thursday Juice I wanna meet this girl. Gemma already seems to like her." Clay said laying on hand on Juice's shoulder. "You two seem pretty close though."
"Yeah grew up together in New York. Nik was always quiet didn't make friends easily. Would sit in class do her work and glare at anyone who got too close for her liking. Only person she really trusted was her Uncle Phil. I was just a ballsy little bastard who wouldn't go away and shared my kit-kat bar at lunch. Ever since then she's been like a sister to me." Juice said with a sigh knowing his brothers weren't going to let him get any more work done.
"So she's single?" Juice just rolled his eyes as he stood wiping his hands on the rag he had tucked in his back pocket.
"Yeah she is as far as I know. Most guys pussy out real quick when they meet Phil." He said with a laugh.
"Who in the hell is Phil?" Tig asked in confusion.
"Phil is her Uncle who later adopted Nikaia and trust me Tig if you ever get to meet Phil you will understand. Since you guys aren't letting me get any work done can I get the hell out of here. And maybe help her shop for whatever the hell she's cooking tonight."
"Yeah get out of here Juice and make sure she's at the next dinner." Clay said before walking away. Juice smiled before he grabbed his things to get the hell out of there before Clay changed his mind.
"Hey Nik I'm off early I'll meet you at the store. Yeah okay I'll meet you at your place and yes I'll grab the booze." He said walking away. Clay was surprised as the boy walked away.
