Chapter Two

Casey sat on the large four poster bed staring out the window. The house looked massive from the outside, but as Casey walked threw the hallway passing door after door she realized it was so much bigger then she thought. Even staring at the neatly gardened acre of land out the window she felt overwhelmed. The bedroom Zoe had assigned her was bigger then her flat in New York, she suspected it was more expensively decorated too. Casey didn't like it, everything seemed antic and oppressive she was afraid to touch anything. There was a light knock on the door.

"Yea?"

The door creaked open and Alano stood there.

"Hi" Casey greeted brightly. Alano just nodded.

"señorita Zoe wants to see you"

"Ok I'll be down in a second"

Alano nodded and scurried out the room. Casey checked her phone one last time and then made her way down stairs. When her foot hit the last step she looked up to see Zoe hanging onto the arm of a tall muscled man with tousled brown hair. When he looked up at her she noticed his deep brown puppy dog eyes and dazzling smile.

"Hi you must be Casey" he said extending his hand.

"and you must be Edward" she said shaking his hand.

"That's me" he responded brightly. Casey noticed Zoe stiffen.

"Well now the introductions are made we were wondering if you'd like to join us for tennis?" Zoe smirked

Casey suddenly noticed they were both clad in tennis gear.

"Zo-Zo said you love tennis" he smiled.

Casey turned to scrutinize her sister who knew she hated tennis and thought it was a game for the over paid privileged masses. Zoe meet her gaze head on defying her to disagree.

"I'd rather not. Still recovering from that long ride you know"

"Well why don't we set up some tea on the patio? Mummy and Daddy will be home soon, they can join us."

Casey had to suppress a giggle at mummy and daddy. The attractive man before her became a lot less attractive in her eyes.

"That would be great"

"But honey I'm not dressed for tea. I'm dressed for tennis"

Casey wondered where the girl who had grown up in the modest house in the heart of Charming, the girl whose favorite meal was a Hawaiian burger, the girl who didn't mind getting her hands dirty had disappeared to.

"You can change Zo-Zo, I'm sure Casey will keep me company. Won't you?"

Zoe shot Casey a disdainful look.

"Absolutely" Casey smirked.

"Actually I'll be fine. No law against having tea in tennis wear"


They were sitting out on the patio when a portly man with a bald patch swung open the patio door. "Edward" he boomed.

"Daddy, allow me to introduce Zoe's sister Casey" The portly man surveyed Casey with critical eyes. His beady eyes lingered a little to long on her breast.

"I'm Edward senor, but people call me Eddy" he said in a superior voice.

"Nice to meet you Eddy" she said rising to shake his hand.

"Darling…" came a shrill high pitched voice "Oh hello"

coming to stand beside Eddy was a thin sharp faced woman with thick mousy brain hair.

"Darling this is Cloe, Zoe's sister"

"Casey" she corrected extending her hand to the woman. She looked at it for a second as if it was a bomb before shaking it gingerly.

"Jasmine. Oh good Zoe there's a problem with the carters apparently they want to fob us of with tuna, can you believe their cheek. I'm telling you we have a good mind to fire them."

She swooped into the seat next to Zoe and produced a folder full of wedding information that they both started to scan. Eddy rolled his eyes and joined the table.


It was half an hour later and Edward and Eddy were discussing business, Zoe and Jasmine were prattling on about the wedding and Casey was bored out of her mind. When the doorbell rang she prayed it would give her the opportunity to excuse herself. She wasn't disappointed. Three men in cuts followed Alano out onto the patio. Casey recognized them immediately, they were the SAMCRO motorcycle club. They were a legend around town, fighting for the little man. Of course Casey's family disapproved of there antics and installed in the girls to stay away. Zoe hadn't listened and had actually lost her virginity to a crow. A secret that was only known by Casey, Zoe and the crow, Happy. Standing at the front of the group was Clay the president, to his left was Tig, SAMCRO's sergeant at arms and to his right Jax, the VP and the guy Casey had had the hots for as long as she could remember.

"We need to talk" Clay announced in his deep husky voice.

"Clay, what are you doing here?" Eddy said panicked.

"We got business"

"Why don't we go to my office" with that they stalked off into the house leaving everyone at the table open mouthed.
