Chapter 1
Growing up in the club ain't easy. Being the daughter of a SON and a Porn Star makes it even harder. My name is Cami Delaney and I am the daughter of Big Otto and Luanne Delaney. It was hard dating too. Either the guys was scared off because they knew who my dad was or they thought I was easy because my mom sucked dick for a living. So I pretty much gave up dating. It was still bad when she got out from behind the camera. I love being around the club though. Most of the guys are like uncles to me but there are some that some that are my best friends. Jax and Opie have been my best friends most of my life. Being we were all three raised in the club, we always look after each other.
I had been dating Nate for a few months and I really like him. Aunt Gemma gave me a job in the office of the garage to keep me close because, of course, Daddy worries about his little girl. Sitting at lunch with the guys like I always do when my phone goes off. It was a text from Nate. I smile as I open the text but when I see what the message, my smile drops. Getting up, I tell the guys, "I'm heading back. Talk to you guys later." I say before getting up and walking off. I head towards the office and Jax grabs my hand. "You okay Cami?" Giving him a fake smile, I say "I'm good Jax." I kiss his cheek and say "See you later." I walk into the office and close the door. Sitting down at the desk, I try to get myself together to at least make it through the day.
Gemma comes back and I head into the clubhouse to start cleaning and stocking the bar. After a little while, the guys come in and I start handing them out beers. "You okay Doll Face?" Tig asked. "Yep. I'm good Tiggy." I say and go back to stocking the bar. "You don't seem okay. Who was that text from earlier?" Opie asked. "That is none of your business." I say getting even more aggravated. "It is when we can see it upsets you." Jax says. Finally my emotions get the better of me and I yell "Fine. Nate broke up with me through a fucking text message. Says he can't deal with dating a fat girl." I say before throwing the towel onto the bar and storming out of the clubhouse. I walk right past a yelling Gemma before getting in my car and peeling out of the parking lot.
I walk into my house and lock the door. Getting into the shower, I break down and sob. Getting out. I dry off and dress and walk into the living room and see my mom sitting on my couch with a gallon of my favorite ice cream and two spoons. I sit down and take a spoon from her and take a bite. "You wanna talk about it?" Mom asked. "How did you know?" I asked. "Jax called me. Told me what you said." she told me. "Momma, what's wrong with me? No one fucking wants me. I finally find a guy that looks past the club and your career and actually gives me a chance and I'm not good enough for him. I am so tired of being discarded like I don't matter. Maybe I don't." I say. "Sweetheart, you will find someone. I promise. I am so sorry, babe girl." she says before pulling me into a hug. There was a knock on the door and mom goes to answer. "Hey Jax, Ope." Mom says before letting them in. "Hey Darlin. How ya feeling?" Jax asked. "I'm okay Jax." I say. "Bull shit." Opie says. "You know what? Fuck you Ope. I am so sick of you two trying to act like you give a shit. Just get out of my fucking house." I yell before running into my bedroom and locking the door. I can hear mom talking to them. "Guys, she just needs time. She's really hurting right now." Mom says. "He really did a number on her didn't he?" Jax asked. "She showed me the text. He was saying how disgusting she is and how he can't take it anymore." Mom says. "Fuck." Opie says. "Call us later and let us know how she's doing." Jax says before they both leave and I hear the door close. "Baby. Are you okay?" Mom asked through the door. I opened the door and say "Momma, I just want to be alone." She smiles sadly and kisses my cheek and says "I'll call you tomorrow to check on you." I hug her tight and she lets herself out while I lay on my bed and sob.
After a couple of hours of crying, I make my way to the living room and turn on Netflix and just let it play. Not even paying attention to what's on. I hear a bike pull up and look outside and see it's Opie. I wish everyone would just leave me alone. He knocks on the door and I ignore it hoping he will go away. No such luck. He knocks again. I still don't answer. "Cami I know you're in there. Open up." Getting up I finally open the door and he walks in without an invitation. "Look, I'm sorry for being an ass earlier." Opie says looking down. "It's okay Ope. I was out of line too." I say walking into the kitchen. He follows me. "You know he's wrong don't you?" he asked. "Right. Look Opie, I know I'm built like those croweaters you guys love so much. And you know what? I'm okay with that." I tell him. "Cami, listen to me. There is nothing wrong with you. You are perfect." he says before moving closer. He leans down and places a soft kiss to my lips before turning around and walking out the door, leaving me stunned.
I spent the rest of the weekend sitting on the couch with a few bottles of wine and sappy movies. Sunday morning, my phone rings. An inmate at Stockton Correctional Facility is attempting to call you. To accept charges, press 1" I know who it is so I press 1 and as soon as it connects I say "Hi Daddy." and I smile a little. I'm a huge Daddy's girl. "Hey Princess. How are you?" he asked. "I'm good." I say. "Don't lie. I talked to your mom." he says. "I'll be okay Daddy. Just need a few days to mope." I tell him. "You know you can call on the guys. Your mom said Jax and Opie dropped by and you snapped at them." he says. If it were anyone else, they would have been scolded but not me. "I talked to Opie today and apologized. I'll do the same with Jax when I see him." I say. "You know they love you right?" he asked. "I know Daddy. I love them too but I just don't want to leave the house. I feel like shit." I say as the tears start again. "It'll be okay baby girl. Just give it time. Remember. Don't trust anyone without a kutte or a crow." he says and the recording comes up telling us we have one minute. "I'll call when I can Princess. I love you." he says. "I love you too Daddy. Stay safe." I say before the call disconnects. Sitting down, I start crying again. This is one of those times a girl really does just need her Daddy.
Later in the day, my phone rings. "Hey Momma. Ratted me out to Daddy I hear." I say. "I knew you would need to hear from him. He's the only one that seems to say the right thing to you when you need it." she says. "It's okay. I did talk to him though. I might go see him next time." I tell her. Someone knocks on the door. "Mom I have to go. Someone's here." I tell her. Hanging up, I answer the door and it's Jax. Letting him in, he follows me to the couch. "Jax, I'm really sorry about the other day. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that." I say. "It's good Darlin. How ya holding up?" he asked. "I'll be okay, I guess." I say. "You deserve better than that. You know that?" he says. "Jax, like I told Opie. I know I'm not skinny like those croweaters. I'm okay with that. Jax, I'm tired. I think I'm gonna lay down." I say. I stand up to see him out and when we get to the door he turns to me and says "I wish you saw yourself the way I do." and takes my face in his hands and kisses me softly before turning around and heading to his bike. I watched him leave and picked up my phone. "Mom, can you come over? I think I'm losing my fucking mind." I tell her. "Yeah baby. I'll be there in a few."
Mom shows up and Gemma is with her. "Hey Sweetheart." Gemma says "Hey Aunt Gem. Hey Momma." I say as I let them in. "What's going on?" Mom asked. "Opie and Jax came to check on me. Separately." I say. "Okay. What's wrong with that?" Gemma asked. "Nothing if it were just them checking on me. He kissed me." I said. "Which one?" Momma asked. "Both of them." I say. "Oh shit. What are you going to do?" Mom asked. "Nothing. You know the guys don't see me like that. Seriously. They were just trying to comfort me. But it was strange." I tell her. "How so?" Gemma asked. "They were trying to make me feel better. Since when do Jax and Opie try to be sweet to me?" I asked and they both start laughing. "The kiss wasn't just a little peck like they have done before but they were soft and sweet. So not like the one like when we were younger." I tell them. Maybe it was nothing.
The next day, I head back to work. I have to keep myself going. Sitting in the office alone. I have only spoken when I had to and tried to keep to myself. It's time for the shop to close and Jax walks in and closes the door. "Hey Cami. Gotta minute?" he asked. "Not really Jax. Trying to close up." I tell him, not looking at him. "Well, make a minute." he says. Sighing I look at him. "What Jax?" I asked. "You have barely said a word to any of us today. We're worried." he says. "Well stop worrying. I'm fine." I say and start straightening the papers on the desk again. He walks over to me and takes my hands and pulls me to him. "Jax. What are you doing?" I asked. He doesn't answer. He crashes his lips to mine and kisses me deeply. I melt into his arms and he makes deepens the kiss more. When we part, our foreheads are pressed together and he walks away leaving me standing there confused.
I leave the shop and head home. Pulling into my driveway, Opie is sitting there on his bike waiting for me. What is it with these men? I get out of my car and walk over to Opie. "Can we talk?" he asked. "Yeah. Come on in." I say. We walk inside and I say "You know where the spare key is. You could have let yourself in." He sits down on the couch and says "Didn't want to scare you." I sit beside him and I ask, "What are you doing here Opie?" He takes my hand rubs his thumb over my knuckles. "I wanted to see how you were doing." he says. "Why does that seem to be the question of the day? Jax asked me the same thing." I say. "We are worried about you." he says still holding my hand. He intertwines our fingers and just sits there, holding my hand. "I'm fine Ope. Just a little hurt. But I'm okay." I tell him. He pulls me over to him and puts his arm around me and we just sit. After a little while of just sitting, he tilts my head up and kisses me softly. He deepens the kiss and pulls me to straddle him. Holding me to him, we continue to kiss until we both were breathless. We sit together like that for a few minutes and he says "I better go." I stand up and let him up before walking him to the door where he kisses me again, softly. I watch him walk to his bike and pull out of the driveway. Closing and locking my door I sit back on the couch and think about what happened. Both of my best friends kissed me. What the ever loving hell?
