Chapter 3
After everyone was done eating, Gemma and Cassandra headed out to go meet Samantha at the salon. The three women got facials, massages, manicures, and pedicures. The three women were shopping in the boutique next door to the salon when Gemma decided to get some questions answered.
"So Sam…what's up with you and my son? And Cassie what's goin on with you and Ope?"
"Me and Jax? Are you kidding? Jax is hung up on Tara and only sees me as the little tomboy who used to run around with him, Ope, and Cass." Samantha said sadly.
"As for Ope and I? It's hopeless. It's like I told Sam earlier, he only sees me as the little girl in pigtails who followed him and Jax around. Plus he'll never move on after Donna." Cassandra said just as sadly as Samantha.
Gemma just shook her head at the two women. It was then she had an idea.
"You girls wanna get their attention?" Gemma asked with a smirk.
Samantha and Cassandra shared a look before glancing at Gemma.
"What do you have in mind Gem?" Cassandra asked.
"Let's get you two some clothes. Actually write down your sizes for me, and I'll pick out the clothes for yall. Then I want you two to meet me at my house at six ok?"
Cassandra and Samantha looked at Gemma both a little hesitant to agree. They trusted Gemma so they nodded.
"Ok Sam can you get Cass back to the shop? Cass tell Clay I'll see him at home."
Cassandra and Samantha both nodded and left Gemma alone to shop. When Cassandra started to walk into Teller-Morrow, Clay hollered out to her. Cassandra turned to face her godfather with a smile on her face.
"Yes Clay?"
"Where's Gemma?" Clay asked with his hands on his hips.
"She's at the boutique next to the salon. She had some things she needed to get. She said she would see you at home."
Clay nodded and then began to speak.
"Well get back in the office then. We got some customers comin in to pick up their bikes or cars."
Cassandra nodded at Clay and headed into the office. When she got off of work, she headed out to her SUV to leave. When she tried to start it though, the engine wouldn't turn over. She tried two more times before groaning in frustration.
"What the hell?" Cassandra asked before climbing out of the car.
Jax and Opie noticed Cassandra lift up the hood to her SUV and look under the hood. They then noticed her body stiffen.
"Something is wrong." Jax said.
Opie nodded and the two walked over to where Cassandra was parked.
"What's wrong Cassie?" Jax asked.
"Some stupid jackass fucked with my car. Look at this shit. They cut hoses and wires."
Jax and Opie both looked under the hood and noticed what Cassandra was talking about. Both men grew very angry. No one fucked with a crow or a family member of a crow.
"Who the fuck would be stupid enough to fuck with my car in front of Teller-Morrow?" Cassandra asked angrily.
Jax happened to notice Clay watching them with a smirk on his face. He had a good idea who the idea to fuck with Cassandra's car was. He just couldn't believe his mom and stepfather would do this. Then again he understood because like them he wanted Cassandra and Opie together. He decided to further their plan.
"Ope you're done for the day. Why don't you give Cassie a ride home?" Jax suggested.
Opie looked at Cassandra. "Is that ok with you Andy? I don't mind."
Cassandra wearily nodded. She just felt the day couldn't get any worse. She wanted to go home. Jax then looked at his friend.
"I'll get this into one of the bays and get it fixed myself Cassie. It'll be ready for you tomorrow morning ok? I'll get my mom to pick up your stuff that's in it."
"Thanks Jax. But there is nothing in there that I have to have tonight. I'll see you later." Cassandra said before hugging her friend.
Jax just placed a quick kiss on her cheek and took her extra set of car keys she held out to him. She grabbed her helmet that Clay had given her for her birthday and walked over to where Opie was waiting for her on his bike. She climbed on behind him after putting her helmet on. She wrapped her arms around Opie's waist slowly. She was very glad she had decided to wear pants today.
'Please God don't let me embarrass myself.' Cassandra thought.
"You ready?" Opie yelled over the sound of his motorcycle.
Cassandra just gave a small squeeze to his waist. Opie pulled out of the parking lot and headed in the direction of Cassandra's house. When he pulled up into her driveway, he turned off his bike. Cassandra slowly climbed off his bike and then took off her helmet. Opie couldn't help but watch as her long brown hair blew in the breeze.
"Thanks for the ride Opie. I really appreciate it." Cassandra said to him as she hugged him.
Opie smiled and hugged her back. "It wasn't a problem Andy. Really I didn't mind."
"Well I better get inside. I think after today a hot shower is in order. Then I gotta go meet my mom and Gemma at Gemma's." Cassandra told him.
"Yeah I gotta get goin too. I gotta go switch the bike for the truck and get the kids from day care."
Cassandra nodded. She knew Opie had gotten a new truck but she had yet to see it.
"Well…bye Opie." Cassandra said as she walked towards her front door.
"Bye Andy." Opie yelled before he started his bike and left.
After taking a shower and getting redressed, Cassandra noticed it was 5:45 pm.
"Shit! How the hell am I supposed to get to Gemma's?" She asked aloud.
Before she could walk over to her phone to call Samantha, her doorbell rang. Cassandra headed over towards the door and looked out the peephole. She noticed Jax and couldn't help but wonder why he was there. She opened her door slowly.
"Hey Jax. What are you doin here?"
"Well since your car is in the shop still, I thought I'd bring you to my mom's."
Cassandra smiled and walked to the table in her entry way. She grabbed her purse and her keys along with her helmet.
"You never did show me your new helmet." Jax told her as she was locking her front door.
Cassandra handed him her helmet as they walked to his bike. Jax noticed it was a shiny black like his. He noticed on the back of the helmet was a deep red rose with thorns on its stem. From the thorns there was blood drops. Under the rose were the words 'Every rose has its thorns'.
"Guns N Roses?" Jax asked remembering the song.
"Well actually for me its just a way of saying I'm not perfect. I got the idea from my dad since he calls me Rose."
Jax just nodded and soon the two were off to Gemma and Clay's house.
