Natalie walks in the house and ran up to her room, she grabs her duffel bag out of the closet and puts a couple pair of the jeans she just bought in there and a few shirts, a couple pairs of pj shorts and a couple tank tops. She goes to her dresser and throws in some underwear and a couple bras and socks. She grabs her bathroom back and grabs her boots and a pair of flip flops. She then picks up her duffel and her laptop bag and goes back downstairs. Happy is waiting in the living room and sees her come down the stairs. They walk out to her car and she puts her stuff in the front seat. "Just follow me to the clubhouse ok" happy says putting his helmet on. "Okay" Natalie says quietly. Happy smiles at her seeing her nervousness, he puts his hand on her arm which makes her flinch "everything's going to be ok". She manages a small smile and then turns and walks to her car. Happy pulls into the Teller-Morrow parking lot and backs his bike in as he watches Natalie park her car, he climbs off his bike and notices the car is off but she hasn't gotten out of her car. Walking up to the car he sees her hands firmly planted on the steering wheel so tight her knuckles are white. He opens the door and puts his hands on hers ignoring her flinch, he gently pry's her hands off the steering wheel. "Come on, no one here is going to hurt you, there family". She slowly gets out of the car and walks around to the passenger side and grabs her bags and follows happy into the clubhouse. As they walk in she instinctively scans the room, Gemma's behind the bar serving drinks to two guys sitting there talking, there are women with some kids sitting on the couches watching two guys playing pool and there are three guys sitting at a table cleaning their guns in the middle of the room. Happy stays right next to Natalie as they walk into the clubhouse, Gemma spots them and walks from behind the bar and comes up to Natalie "how you doing sweetheart". "I'm ok" she says quietly while continually scanning the room keeping an eye on all the guys. Then a guy Natalie didn't see before walks up to them "Hey Gemma" Natalie freezes heart pounding, she grabs Happy's hand and grips it tight. Feeling his hand had been grabbed he looks down and realizes its Natalie. Shocked he looks up at her and sees the fear, he leans close to her ear "breath, you're ok" noticing that didn't help he shoots Gemma a look and keeping a hold of Natalie's hand, he walks her to the back of the clubhouse and down the hallway. Happy comes to a stop at a door and looks to her, then opens the door and walks her in. She walks in but stays close to the door, subconsciously staying close for an easy escape. "This is my dorm room, you can leave your stuff in here and hang out here if you don't feel comfortable out there right now" "ok, thank you Happy ". He turns to her and smiles. "I've got to go out and talk to some of the guys, then I'll come check on you" she nods and watches Happy walk out the door.
Happy walks up to the bar where Gemma is "Hey how is she doing" Gemma says handing him a beer. "Ok I think after this morning I didn't think I was going to get within twenty feet of her, but I think she is starting to trust me". "That's good, thanks for helping me with her Happy, I really appreciate it". "It's no problem Gemma, I like the girl, she's sweet". Gemma smiled. "Church" Happy heard, he got off the bar stool and followed the guys into the room. Natalie put her bags down next to the bed, she felt secure in the room away from the crowd out in the clubhouse, she wondered how long till she could go back to the safety of her room at home. To occupy her time Natalie pulled out her phone and started playing Tetris on it. About an hour later she heard the door open and jumped" it's just me" Happy said walking in the room. Natalie sat up and smiled at him, she watched him walk over to the bed and sit on the edge of it "you hungry" Happy said "no" Gemma had told Happy she wasn't eating much since it happened. "When was the last time you ate Natalie"? She shrugged her shoulders "ummm I don't know, yesterday morning I think" she said quietly. Happy scouted closer to her on the bed and held her hand. Natalie looked down staring at the bed. Happy took his other hand and put a finger under her chin and lifted her head to look at him "Hey look at me, you have to eat, you're too skinny" Natalie closed her eyes as a small tear escaped. Happy wiped the tear from her eye and pulled her into a hug. She stiffened at the feeling of his arms around her, he slowly started rubbing her back and she started to relax. This actually felt really good she thought the first hug she had since it happened, and then she lost it she let all the pain out and cried in his arms. "It's going to be ok, Ill protects you, you just have to trust me". Happy felt really close to her for some reason, all he wanted to do was take the pain away from this girl, protect her from all the bad things, he felt like he was falling for her.
Happy walked into the room after getting food from Gemma he knew he would never get her to eat if he took her out of this room tonight. Natalie was sitting on the bed searching through Netflix looking for a movie to watch. "I wasn't sure what you liked so I just grabbed a turkey sandwich, hope that's ok". Happy sat the sandwich and bag of chips and bottle of water in front of her. "Thank you happy I'll try to eat". She said picking the sandwich up and taking a bite. "I just got you water but do you want a beer or a mixed drink or something"? Happy sat on foot of the bed. "I'm not old enough to drink Happy". Shit, Happy thought she is younger than I thought. "How old are you" she took a drink of the water "I turned eighteen two months ago". Holy shit she is young, Happy thought. "Wow you look a lot older" she smiled. "Happy am I sleeping in here tonight" she said nervously "yeah it's the only free room with all the families here" "are you sleeping in here too". "If you're ok with that I'll sleep on the couch or if not I can go crash on the couch in the main room". She thought about it for a second "no you can have the bed, I'll sleep on the couch I'm shorter it will be more comfortable for you". Happy smiled "ok, thank you" she laughed softly "no thank you, even with everything I have put you through your being really nice to me". Happy moved closer to her on the bed, he put his hand on top of hers "you're too sweet to be anything but nice to you ". She looked up at him with a serious look "wish everyone thought that" the pain coming back to her mind. "you wanna talk about it, Gemma told me that you have never said exactly what they did, talking about it might help" she immediately shifted her eyes back down to the bed" I can't, at least not yet, I don't want to think about it anymore tonight" he gently squeezed her hand "ok you don't have to just remember I'm here if you want to talk". "Okay" she said softly. "So how about a drink, I won't tell anyone if you don't" Happy grinned at her. " I don't really feel like drinking" " okay well I know something that will help you relax, have you smoked weed before " she looked at him a little shocked " no" she said unsure about this. " you wanna try a little" he said standing up. "Ok" Natalie said sounding so young. " k I'll be right back" Happy walked out of the room and up to the bar "Hey Gemma", " yeah Hap" Gemma said handing one of the guys a drink. "Can I get a little medicine" Gemma eyed him suspiciously, "you planning on getting my girl high Happy" she said with a smirk. "Just trying to get her to relax Gemma, nothing else". Gemma leans down under the bar and pulls a joint out of her purse. "Here you go, don't let her do too much" he takes the joint from her "thanks Gem" he walks back to the room.
"Okay now just take a small drag off it, not too much for your first time" Natalie puts the lit joint to her mouth and breaths it in, she instinctively starts coughing. Happy softly laughs "happens to everyone the first time". He takes the joint and takes a couple hits and hands it back to Natalie. She takes it and takes another hit. "It's not so bad "she says. Happy can see Natalie is slowly getting more relaxed, he takes a couple more hits and Natalie takes one more and Happy puts it out. "Do you want to watch a movie with me?" he sits down next to her " sure " .Natalie smiles and stands up " you find a movie for us to watch and I'll go change" he watches her bend over and pulls some clothes out of her bag " okay". Happy keeps looking through Netflix trying to find something he finally decides on Anchorman right as Natalie walks out of the bathroom. He tries not to make it obvious he is looking her up and down but he is getting turned on seeing her in a loose t shirt and a pair of pink plaid pj shorts that shows off a good amount of her legs, her hair pulled back into a high pony tail really shows off her beautiful face and stunning blue eyes. She sits down next to him and Happy tries to turn his attention to the TV. "Anchorman ok" she smiles " yeah" they sit there watching the movie, Happy smiles when she lays her head on his shoulder, he sits his hand on her knee and notices she doesn't flinch for the first time. Progress he thought, then notices she was asleep. He gets up and lays her down and puts a blanket over top of her leaning down he kisses her forehead and walks over to the bed, strips down to his boxers and falls asleep.
Happy awoke a couple hours later to the sounds of a scream and whimpering he hurried out of bed and walked over to where Natalie was, she was having a nightmare. Happy sits Natalie up ad sits down and holds her "shhhh baby, it's just a dream, come on wake up, it's just a dream". Natalie wakes up freaking and shoves Happy away from her and scrabbles to the far side of the couch. " hey, hey , it's just me Natalie, its ok " she looks at him finally realizing what's going on and her dream was just that, a dream she shocks Happy by flinging herself in his arms and breaks down crying. Happy wraps his arms around her, rubbing her back speaking reassuringly to calm her down. She finally calms down but doesn't let go of Happy, "hey you want to lay in bed with me and I'll hold you while you sleep, I promise it will be nothing but holding you" happy says rubbing her back more. Not loosening her hold on him she nods her head into his shoulder. Happy picks Natalie up and carries her to the bed laying her down and crawling in besides her she turns on her side towards him. He wraps his arm back around her as she snuggles into his chest, finally feeling safe. Happy waited to hear her breathing even out to know she was asleep so he could turn her over on her side and move behind her, he lays an arm over her wrapping around her body holding her close and then he falls asleep.
Natalie wakes up and feels a quick jolt of panic when she sees a guy's arm around her, but calms when she remembers last night, she softly picks his arm up and slides out of bed, she walks into the bathroom to take a shower. Happy hears a noise and rolls his head over then notices the bed is empty besides him, sitting up he scans the room looking for Natalie, then hears the bathroom door open and Natalie walks out. "oh hey, I couldn't go back to sleep after I woke up so I figured I would shower" Natalie was standing there in a pair of black skinny jeans and a black fitted t shirt with her riding boots on, her hair still wrapped in a towel and no makeup on. Happy smiled looking at how perfectly her jeans hugged her thin legs and nice ass and for once not wearing something baggy he could see her perfectly flat stomach and scanning up he finally gets to see the outline of some very nice guessing a large c size tits, she's perfect he thought, could gain a few pounds but incredibly sexy. "How you doing this morning beautiful" Natalie blushes " I'm good, thank you for last night Happy "he pats the bed and she moves over and sits next to him "it's no problem, you think you will be able to venture beyond the room today?" the smile on her face disappears as she looks at Happy "I'll try" he smiles "we will take it slow in about an hour most the guys will be out working in the garage, I'll take you out then, I asked Gemma for the day off so I can be with you so I will be right next to you the whole time, we can even smoke a little more if that will help" she smiles "ok". And then Happy does something she never expected he leaned forward put a finger under her chin and pulled her face to meet his with a soft kiss. Natalie closes her eyes and when she opens them Happy is looking at her, almost trying to judge if that was a bad move or not. She smiles softly and happy takes a deep breath. "I'm gonna shower and get dressed k" Natalie just nods.
About an hour later they were both dressed. "You want to smoke a little before we go out" Happy said. Natalie smiled "no I'm ok". Natalie takes a deep breath. She watches Happy walk over to stand in front of her he puts a hand on each of her arms and smiles "I'll be right next to you ok" she nods Happy leans down and softly kisses her lips. He pulls back and pushes a strand of her hair behind her eye. "You ready" she nods. Happy grabs Natalie's hand and laced his fingers with hers. They walk out of the room and to Natalie's relief the clubhouse is empty except two girls sitting on the couch and chucky behind the bar cleaning. Happy walks Natalie over to the bar and they sit down. Chucky walks over to them; Happy puts his hand on Natalie's knee and gently squeezes to reassure her. "You guys want something to drink" Chucky asks. "I'll have a beer" Happy looks at Natalie "you want something" "just a water" Natalie says softly staring down at the bar counter. Chucky grabs bottle water and a beer for Happy. They sat there for almost an hour just talking when a group of the guys walked in taking a break for lunch. Happy was enjoying this new side of Natalie, happy and comfortable not scared just full of laughs and smiles, but the second the guys walked in the old Natalie was back. She immediately stood up and moves to leave the room but Happy grabbed her hand to stop her. "Hey calm down you're ok, these guys won't hurt you, just trust me". Natalie takes a deep breath and grabs his hand that's holding hers with her other hand and moves close to him "ok" Happy smiles and shocks Natalie by leaning close and laying a kiss lightly on her lips. She looks around to see if anyone saw and notices everyone is talking among each other and not paying attention. She looks at him and smiles, he leans in and kisses her again but this time not as soft. When he pulls back all he can do is look in her eyes. After a few minutes he finally gets her to sit back down at the bar. She finishes her water and he finishes his beer, when he hears "church" yelled, he glances to Natalie and she nods, he gets up and walks in with the other guys leaving Natalie sitting at the bar by herself.
Gemma walks in the clubhouse, she instantly notices Natalie sitting at the bar by herself and something that shocks her; she is talking to Chucky with a smile on her face. Happy really is helping her she thought. "Where did hap go" Gemma asks "church" Natalie says turning her barstool to face Gemma. Gemma nods "how are you doing sweetheart" "good, more comfortable" Gemma smiles" it seems like you have grown close to Happy, he treating you good" she asks. Natalie breaks out in a smile at the mention of Happy "I'll take that as a yes" Gemma says laughing. "you know Natalie, I know with everything that has happened you don't trust but you can let Happy in, he is a good guy, and it seems like you like him and I know he likes you, so all I'm saying is just trust him, let yourself feel things for him and if it goes from like to something more its ok to have that, he isn't like the guys that hurt you he is a good man. Natalie thinks about what Gemma just said she really does like Happy and he has been nothing but sweet and understanding with her, why didn't she trust him, he has done nothing to deserve her not to trust him. " I'll try Gemma, I want a normal life and to feel comfortable around guys, and I really like him" Gemma puts her hand on Natalie's shoulder " that's good honey" She smiles at Natalie and then walks away right as Happy and the rest of the guys walk from the room church was just held in.
They had been on lock down for a week and a half now and Natalie was going stir crazy, she now spent a lot of time out of the room, but she still wasn't brave enough to venture outside. Happy had been back to work and she just sat around and read or played on her phone or watched movies and TV, occasionally she would help Gemma in the kitchen or bar but that's it. The door started opening and Happy walked in the room covered in grease and dirt. Natalie was sitting on the bed on her laptop playing a game. "How you doing honey". "I'm going crazy I can't stand it anymore I want to get out of this place" Natalie almost yells, Happy softly laughs "I know, I was actually just coming to give you some good news" Natalie's eyes lit up "are we off lock down" she said with a lot of enthusiasm "yeah, we are" shocking Happy she jumps off the bed into his arms and kisses him. She pulls back "I'm sorry, I'm just excited". Happy moves her legs to wrap around his waist "well now I'm excited too" Natalie blushes and unwraps her legs, her feet hitting the ground again. "It's ok Natalie I like you in my arms kissing me; in fact I would like to do a lot more than just kiss you". He said immediately regretting opening his mouth seeing the nervous blush on her face. "Happy, I just can't, I'm too scared and nervous and even when you kiss me thoughts of what happened flash in my head". Happy moves a piece of Natalie's hair behind her ear. "Natalie I know something bad happened to you and I wish you would talk to me about it, and I know you are going to need time to heal from that before you can move on with someone, but I like you and I hope you will learn to trust me, I'm not going to hurt you and I can step back if that's what you need, but I will be here for you if you ever need me" a tear rolls down Natalie's cheek and she nods her head. Happy wraps his arms around her and holds her for a couple minutes then let's go and tells her Gemma will be taking her home in about an hour, then walks out the door.
