Chapter 4

"We ran into some trouble. I just came to check on you girls." Chibs alerts Bella.

"Are you hurt? Jesus christ you're covered in blood." Bella puts the knife down.

"Not my blood." Chibs walks into the kitchen, and takes a seat at the breakfast table. Rubbing his temples, he looks around "Where's Kerrianne?"

"Sleeping! She's uh, sleeping in your bedroom. Something about not sleeping to well last night. Or something. Beer?" Kerrianne walks into the kitchen.

"Aye."

Chibs P.O.V As I see her walking about in the kitchen. I catch myself staring at her legs. The tattoos of red roses and skulls that wrap around her left thigh. I focus my eyes on her ass. "What is wrong with me?" I ask myself. "Never had I imagined, such a beautiful creature. So perfect in every way. The way her curves sit in all the right places. Her sun kissed skin so flawless. Her lips so plumbed. Her hazel eyes so hypnotizing. Her wavy light brown her, perfectly resting on her slender shoulders. So well toned. She definitely takes care of herself." I try to shake my thoughts away. Fighting myself from getting up and ripping that shirt off of her. Making her mine right here on this table. "Easy boy. You need to stop this. She's your daughter's friend. Best friend. She will never forgive you for fucking her best friend."

"Chibs!" Bella snaps her fingers in front of him. Handing him his beer.

Chibs takes the beer as he gets up. "Shower. I need a shower." He starts to walk towards his bedroom.

Bella runs in front him. Preventing him from walking any further. "You can use the restroom in the spare room. You wouldn't want to wake up Kerrianne. Would you? Plus she don't handle the sight of blood to well."

"What about some clean clothes."

"I'll get it for you. Yes. I'll walk in and out of there quickly." Bella turns him around and pushes him into the spare room. "I'll leave the clean clothes here on the bed. You go have you a nice shower." Bella runs out of the room.

"Can't even fucken shower in my own bathroom." Chibs talks to himself.

Bella runs into Chibs bedroom. Grabs her phone and starts punching in numbers. She paces back and forth until someone answers. "KERRIANNE! Whatever you do. Don't come back now! Your Da is here!"

"My Da?! What is he doing there?"

"Something about running into some trouble with the club. And just checking in on us. What do I do? I told him you were sleeping in his bedroom!"

"I'll stay with Juice until he leaves. Once he's gone, text me."

"Fine. Gotta go."

Bella quickly gathers some of Chibs clothes and takes it to the spare room. While in there she throws on some black ripped skinny jeans, and a black crop top. She then hears the shower turn off, and quickly exits the room.

A few minutes later, Chibs walks out the room and spots Bella seating at the dinner table. Drinking a beer. He walks up to her. "Want to go for a ride?"

Bella looks up at him. "Sure."

As they walk out the house Bella pulls out her phone and texts, Kerrianne.

Txt to Kerrianne...
'Bella' 10:51 p.m [Cost is clear. I came to have a drink at the bar. Don't wait up.]

Chibs pulls up to a wooded area just outside of charming. He turns off the bike and Bella hops off "Where are we?"

"You'll see, love." He takes Bella by the hand and walks through the woods "Not scared are ya?"

"Who me? Never." Bella brushes her hair out of her face.

"Good." Chibs says as he continues to walk up a large hill.

They walk for what seems to be another 3 minutes and finally stop. Bella looks at the sight in front of her, and is immediately breath taken. All she sees is most of all of Charming's lights. Lights that seem to be dancing. "It's beautiful. I take it, you come here often."

"Only when I want to need to clear my mind." He takes a seat on the ground. Stretching his legs out in front of him. He pats the ground next to him. Gesturing for Bella to have a seat.

She sits next to him. With her legs underneath her. "Well thanks for sharing it with me."

They sit in peaceful silence. Looking at the scenary in front of them. Chibs turns to look at Bella. "Where did you get that necklace?"

Bella looks down at her necklace, that once belonged to her mother. She then holds onto the crow charm and turns to look at Chibs. "It was my mom's. It's the only thing I have left of her." Her eyes begin to feel with unshed tears.

"Sorry. Didn't mean..."

She cuts him off. "It's ok. I love thinking of my mom." She smiles as she thinks of her. "Would you like to know the story behind this necklace.?"

"Only if you are willing to share it with me."

"Growing up, I always thought that the crow had something to do with my mom's last name. Crowe. But when I found my dad, he told me different. He said that after dating my mom for four years. He told her to get a crow tattoo. You know the whole SAMCRO old lady thing. He told me thatmy mom nearly had a heart attack. That she hated tattoos. So instead my dad took her to a jewlry store in Charming and got her this charm and necklace. You know they dated for 7 years? Such a long time."

"Aye, 7 years. Is a long time. Mind me asking, how she passed?"

"Lukiemia. She fought it for a little over a year. Before it finally claimed her life."

Chibs takes, Bella's hand in his "How old were you?"

"Twelve."

"I take it, family took you in?"

"Nope. My grandparents and my mom was all I had. And my grandparents had passed just the year before." Bella wiped a tear that dared to escape her eyes.

"So who took care of you?"

"Foster home. But that's one topic I wish not to speak of. Ever." Bella looks at Chibs with hurt in her eyes.

"Fair enough."

Bella lays back on the grass. Staring up at the night sky. Chibs lays next to her, propped up on his elbow. He looks down at her, admiring they way the moonlight shined down on her. Bella turns her head slightly, to meet his eyes. She slowly props up on her elbows. Causing their faces to just be inches away. Chibs then takes his free hand and caresses her face. They then lean in, and kiss. As they taste each others lips, they deepened their kiss. Chibs then slowly lays Bella back down. He then begins to explore her body with his hands. Bella wraps her arms around his neck, as she thrusts her hips to his. Chibs slowly begins to kiss her down her neck. Bella lets out a moan, as Chibs hands go beneath her shirt.

"Chibs... Wait, wait. No this can't happen." Bella manages to whisper to him.

Chibs stops and holds his weight up with his hands. "You're right. You're absolutely right."

Before Chibs can roll off of Bella. She grabs a hold of the front of his kutte. Stopping him "Why must something that feels so right...Be so wrong?"

Chibs looks at Bella and slowly lower his head. Kissing her again. Together they get lost in each other's desire. And perfectly make love forgetting about the world around them.

Txt to Bella...
*Kerrianne* 2:56 a.m [Where are you?]

As Chibs and Bella are getting dressed. Her phone buzzes. "Shit. Kerrianne is waiting for me."

"She woke up?" Chibs takes Bella's hand and leads the way back to his motorcycle.

"Ummm, that's what it seems like." Bella says quickly.

Bella slowly, walks into the house. The foyer lights come on.

"Where the hell have you been? You had me worried sick! How you get back? The car is here?" Kerrianne with her hands on her hips. Scowls at her friend.

Bella looks back at Kerrianne, wide eyed. She thinks to herself. Glad she was able to convince Chibs to drop her off at the corner of the street. "Ummm, I walked. Needed some fresh air."

Kerrianne walks up to Bella. Eyeing her suspiciously "Why didn't you text me back?"

"I... Ummm... I was going to, but I... I forgot?" Bella explains. Sounding more like a question than an answer.

"Bella. You are not being honest with me. I know you. The stutters give it all away. I thought we told each other, everything?"

Bella laughs nervously. "What? Why would I keep anything from you? Don't over exaggerate, Kerrianne. You know how that annoys me." Bella walks past Kerrianne and into the spare room. "I need a shower."

Kerrianne follows her "You haven't even asked me, how my date was."

"Well you haven't even giving me, the chance! Now have you, Kerrianne?!" Bella shouts out. Already aggravated.

Kerrianne throws her hands up in surrender. And sits on the edge of the bed. "I don't want to argue with you. That wasn't my intention. What's wrong? We have never argued."

Bella sighs and sits next to Kerrianne. "I'm sorry. I just have a short fuse. You know that. Especially when I get asked so many questions. I guess I'm just tired. I didn't get much sleep last night and by the looks of it. I won't be getting much sleep tonight, either."

"I'm sorry to. I shouldn't have asked you so many questions. I'll let you shower. We'll talk in the morning. Goodnight." Kerrianne hugs Bella and walks out the room.

Bella takes a quick shower and crawls into bed. She thinks about her quick escape with Chibs, and smiles to herself. "Bella, you are walking on thin ice. Is this really worth hurting your friendship?" She continously asks herself, until sleep takes over her.
