Juice had not wanted to come to Charming's annual Christmas festival but at the same time he did not want Gemma's 5 inch stilletto boot going up his arse if he did not attend. The biker queen had been very insistant that all the SONS made an appearance at the event. He had learned over the years that he had been in Charming and in the club that whatever Gemma wanted, Gemma got. He had been wandering around the stalls not really seeing any of the items on the stalls when he became aware of someone watching him, he glanced over to a stall on the other side of the street and noticed it was the one for the diner that he went to sometimes. The red head that had started there just a few months ago was staring at him intently and he flashed one of his smiles at her. He noticed her glance away but not before he spotted a small look of annoyance cross her face and he gave a small chuckle.

"What's up Juicy?"

A hand landed heavily on his shoulder and he glanced to his side to see his brother chibs standing next to him, looking him and wondering why the kid was grinning like an idiot. Juice let go of the grin on his face and gave Chibs a look of innocence.

"Nothing." He muttered.

Chibs wasn't convinced he had seen the stall that Juice had been looking at when the goofy grin had appeared on his face and had seen the red head from the diner staring at Juice. He wasn't born yesterday, he knew exactly what or in this case who, the kid had been grinning at, he turned his head and glanced across the street to get another look at the girl. 'Well, she not a girl,' he thought, 'she's all woman'. A bit too curvy for his liking and with freckles across the bridge of her nose but the kid standing next to him seemed to like her.

"Sooooo...you're not staring at the red head from the diner then are you?"

He arched his eyebrow and grinned at Juice, who had suddenly turned a deep shade or red.

"No." Juice shook his head at Chibs question but he was stared at his feet when he answered, he was scared if he looked at Chibs he would see that he was lying. He heard Chibs saying something else and glanced up to see what he was saying.

"...cause it looks like Tig is making his move on her."


Jasmine had just served a group of high school seniors when she became aware of one of the Sons standing in front of her, eyeing her up and down. She glanced up at him and saw it was their SAA, he was an older man than the one she liked dark curly hair that had a few streaks of grey in it and piercing blue eyes. His shoulders were too thin for her taste and he looked quite wiry with long thin legs. There are some who would probaly say he was striking but Jasmine had met men who were striking in appearance and they all had ego's to go with thier looks.

Tig eyed the young woman standing in front of him, he had seen young Juice grinning at her and he thought he would wind his younger brother up. It was not the first time he had noticed that the young woman seemed to have caught Juice's eye, he had noticed it a few days before when some of the SONS, Juice included had had breakfast at the diner.

"You want something?"

Tig realized that the woman in front of him was asking him a question. He glanced at her face and realised she had the most beautiful green eyes he had ever seen.

"Just thought I'd come over and speak to you doll," he leered at her. His eyes continuing to roam up and down her body, she could feel him undressing her with his eyes.

"Did you now." Jasmine glared at him, her hands on her hips.

Tig smiled back at her, a rakish smile that prompted her gaze to travel quickly over him and soak up additional details, like tha fact that he was invading her personal space. She noticed the small scar beneath his eye and the slightly crooked nose, that looked like he had been in many a brawl at some point in his no doubt checkered past.

"Well you've spoken to me. Now if you don't want any lemonade, move on."

She heard a sharp intake of breath behind her as Melody waited with baited breath at what Tig would do at being told to 'move on' by a mere slip of a girl. No one spoke to the SONS SAA like Jasmine had just done and got away with it.


On the other side of the street, Juice watched Tig talking to Jasmine. He was too far away to hear all the conversation but he heard Jasmine tell Tig to 'move on' and he could see the way that Tig's shoulders clenched that he did not like being told to get lost by a female. He hurriedly walked over to where Tig and Jasmine were glaring at each other but his path was blocked by a group of older ladies as they moved between the stalls. He tried to get round them without being rude and shoving them aside but he was unable to and by this time he getting more than a little concerned for Jasmine.


A/N Does he get to Jasmine in time or will she deal with Tig herself. Find out in the next chapter.
