As the sun began to set on the city of Charming, Angel was barely making her way up the driveway to the Munson's home. It had been a long and frustrating day for her. Another day spent at the library working a few hours for shit money, then meeting with lawyers about getting a company started, to doing hours of research and writing a business plan and presentation, and all Angel wanted to do was soak in the tub, binge eat ice cream, and let her brain melt in front of the TV. The last thing she wanted to deal with was two bikers in the kitchen, covered in what she hoped was flour, with batter splashed across the counters. "What are you two doing?" She stood in the doorway with her arms crossed over her chest. The two figures froze before one turned, blue eyes meeting her with a glint of mischief. "You're home early!" Jax gave her his signature smile. Had she not grown up with this man, she would have fallen for it. Instead, Angel rolled her eyes and groaned. "Jax, Opie," she pointed toward the ceiling, "How the HELL did you get cake batter on the ceiling?!"
Both men shrugged and giggled. Angel swore that she was dealing with young boys once again instead of men they supposedly grew up to be. "Your guess is as good as mine, darlin'." Angel clenched her first and was ready to punch Jax in his stupid perfect face. Ibstead, she took a deep breath, smiled and pointed at the two. "Opie, start cleaning up. Jax, well…I'm calling Gemma!" Angel took off running toward her room. She knew she'd have enough time to close the door and block Jax from coming in. As she threw the door closed and pushed her dresser in front of it, she could hear Opie's deep laugh and Jax running after her. "Open the door brat!" Angel laughed and pulled out her cell before flopping down onto her bed. "Hey baby, what's wrong?" Angel giggled, of co, rse Gemma would know something was wrong. "Hi Ma. Just punishing Jax. I came home and he and Op decided to paint the ceiling with cake batter!" Gemma's laugh from the other side of phone brought a smile to Angel's face. "That little shit, make them clean it up before your father gets home. I'll deal with them later. Oh while you're on the phone, don't forget about dinner tomorrow night and I might need some help at the garage tomorrow if you're still looking to make some money."
After hanging up, Angel lounged in bed. She figured she'd give the boys and time to clean up before going in and scolding them again. She knew they were trying to be nice and do something for her, but baking was something they both need to stay far Angel made her way back to the kitchen, she found it spotless. On the center of the kitchen island was a single plain cupcake sitting onto of a sheet of paper.
Sis,
Sorry for the mess. Mom told us what you've been up to lately and we were trying to surprise you. We're glad you're staying in Charming! We're so proud of you little sis! Just know that whatever you need, you have both your big brothers willing to help out. We cleaned up the mess and left you the edible cupcake. We'll be back later to check in on you. Go get rest and we'll wake you when back with food.
Love,
Jax & Opie
Angel stared at the letter and smiled. Yea, there was no doubt she'd never leave Charming or her brothers again. This was home.
