Kayleigh looked down at her phone for the third time in the past hour. Chibs frowned every time she did. Kayleigh stood up and walked into the kitchen. She set her empty beer bottle on the counter and started to dial Amber's cell number. Chibs walked in when she snapped her phone shut.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"She didn't text me when she got to the hotel and she's not answering her phone now," said Kayleigh. "She never lets her phone just ring. She's always talking on it. I hate to do this, but can you give me a lift to the hotel?"
"Yeah," he said.
Chibs walked out of the kitchen followed by Kayleigh. She made a beeline for the front door. Gemma frowned but the smirked when Chibs followed her. Chibs saw Gemma smirk and stopped and turned around.
"It's not what you think it is," said Chibs. "Amber's not answering her phone."
"So, she's a teenager," said Gemma.
"She was supposed to text Kay over an hour ago and she hasn't heard from her," he said before he walked out of the house. That was when Tara looked around the room and furrowed her brows.
"Where is Abel?" she asked.
Jax looked around that time but didn't see him. Gemma gasped and grabbed her phone dialing Abel's number quickly.
Abel groaned when his phone rang. He sat up and reached across Amber to get it. It was Gemma calling him. He groaned again and answered it.
"Where the hell are you?" she asked.
"I'm at the hotel with Amber," he said.
"Did you do what I think you did?" she asked.
"Why do you ask?" he asked looking down at a sleeping Amber.
"Because if you did that means she didn't text her mother and now Kayleigh and Chibs are on their way to the hotel. So I suggest that you two get dressed and you get the hell out of doge. Understood?" said Gemma.
"Crystal," he said jumped from the bed and hanging up the phone.
Amber was woken up then the bed moved suddenly. She looked up and saw that Abel was rushing to get his clothes on.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Um…Chibs and your mom are on the way her to find out why you didn't text her. And I really don't feel like getting my ass handed to me by your dad," he said. "You might want to get dressed too. I don't think you can come up with a good explanation as to why you are naked in the bed."
"Good idea," she said jumping up from the bed.
Amber pulled on her pajama pants and a t-shirt. Once Abel had his shirt on he grabbed his cut and his keys and headed for the door. Amber pulled him back long enough to kiss him before he left the room. Amber closed the door and leaned against it. She looked at the clock on the nightstand and the bolted into the bathroom after grabbing more clothes.
Chibs parked the bike and turned it off. Kayleigh was already off the bike and headed towards the hotel. He jumped off and followed her into the building. They rode the elevator up to the fifth floor and walked down the hall to the room. Kayleigh slipped the key in the door and opened it. She walked in the room to find Amberlyn lying on the bed asleep. She walked over to the phone that was laying on the nightstand and looked at it. The missed call notification was still flashing on the screen.
"She okay?" asked Chibs.
"Yeah. Looks like she took a shower and fell asleep when she got here. Must have been really tired," she said.
Chibs nodded his head.
"Thanks for the lift," she said. "I appreciate it."
"No problem," he said. "See you around."
"Yeah, see you around," she said as the door closed.
Kayleigh waited a few minutes before she took one of the magazines and his Amberlyn with it.
"I know you are awake so you best get up!" she shouted. "You can't fool me."
Amberlyn opened her eyes and looked at her mom. She looked pissed.
"What the hell did you do?" asked Kayleigh. "I asked for a simple text when you got here. Here it is over an hour later and I've got nothing!"
"I'm sorry, I just forgot," said Amberlyn sitting up completely.
"Bullshit," said Kayleigh. "I was seventeen once, I'm not stupid. What were you doing?"
"I just forgot okay. And just because I wasn't asleep when you got here doesn't mean I wasn't asleep before," said Amberlyn.
"Your hair is too wet for you have to taken a shower an hour ago," said Kayleigh.
"I didn't say I took a shower an hour ago," said Amberlyn. "Just drop it and let me go to sleep. You used to trust me, why don't you now?"
Amber laid down and rolled away from her mom and closed her eyes. The bed still smelled like Abel. She smiled and slowly drifted off to sleep. Kayleigh changed clothes and laid down in her own bed for the night.
Abel pulled up to his house and parked the bike. He turned it off and climbed off. He walked up to the front door and into the house. He closed the door and locked it and headed down the hall to his room. Before he could get there Tara stopped him.
"Do I want to know what Gemma was yelling at you for?" she asked.
"Doubt it," he said walking into his room.
"Well whatever it was, I suggest you don't do it again," said Tara walking away.
Abel nodded his head and closed the door to his room. He fell back on his bed and closed his eyes. He was almost asleep when there was a knock at his door. He groaned and sat up.
"Yeah," he said
Jax opened the door and leaned on the frame. Abel fell back on his bed and groaned. Jax just chuckled.
"I can only imagine what you were doing when Gem called you," said Jax. "And I'm not going to yell at ya, you're old enough to make your own decisions when it comes to things of that nature. But I will tell you that if Chibs finds out, you may be incapable of doing such things again."
"Yeah. I got it," said Abel.
"Kayleigh is going to be pissed at you," said Jax.
"Why?" asked Abel sitting up on the bed.
"You 'deflowered' her little girl," chuckled Jax. "Tara's words not mine."
"I didn't 'deflower' anybody," said Abel. "She's been flowerless for a while."
"Right. I'm going to bed now," said Jax. "You better be careful with this shit. Chibs will surely kill you if she gets knocked up, and that's only if Kayleigh doesn't get to you first."
"I get it! Wrap it every time! I know!" shouted Abel. "Just go away!"
"Whatever," chuckled Jax closing the door.
Abel was rudely awoken then next morning by someone pounding on his bedroom door. He sat up and looked at the clock. It was ten in the morning. He groaned and climbed out of the bed. He jerked open he door fully prepared to yell at his sister for being a brat. The person he was face with was definitely not his sister. It was Kayleigh.
"Um…morning Ms. Kayleigh," he said.
"I ought to bust your face open," she said. "But since Amber was awake this morning when I left and she explained the situation to me I'm not going to. But so help you god, if you get her pregnant I will chop your balls off. Do I make myself clear?"
"Ye-yes ma'am," said Abel.
'Good. Now get dressed and go find a job," said Kayleigh walking away.
Dani took this time to stick her head out of her room, "Yeah, Abe. Get a job and move out. I want your room!"
"Shut up, brat," said Abel closing his door.
Abel collapsed on the bed and closed his eyes. He was almost asleep again when someone jumped on the bed, and continued to jump. Abel was going to be pissed if it was Dani. He opened his eyes to see Amberlyn jumping on his bed.
"Stop…I want to go back to sleep," he said.
"Fine. I will just go find someone else to hang out with today. You go back to sleep and I will go to the pool with someone else. I'm sure the cute cashier at the grocery would go with me," she said climbing off the bed.
Amber wasn't two steps away when Abel pulled her back into the bed with him. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close.
"We can go to the pool later. Imma sleep a little more," said Abel.
Amber chuckled but conceded. She closed her eyes and soon she too was asleep.
"Shouldn't Abel be awake by now?" asked Jax walking into the house.
"Don't look at me, I aint his keeper," said Dani from the living room.
Jax rolled his eyes and walked down the hall to his son's room. As usually Abel was blaring his music. Jax, without knocking, walked into Abel's room.
"Holy shit!" shouted Jax.
"Oh my god!" shouted Amber falling to the floor on the other side of the bed.
"Shit, man!" shouted Abel. "Don't you know what knocking is!"
Jax didn't answer he had already slammed the door closed and was standing in the hallway. He shook his head and walked into the kitchen and grabbed a beer. That's where he was when Tara came home for lunch.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked.
Jax looked into the living room to make sure Dani wasn't listening.
"I walked in on Abel and Amber," Jax said.
Tara couldn't help it. She started to laugh.
"That's no funny," said Jax.
"I'm sorry baby. Was he blaring his music?" asked Tara.
"Yeah," said Jax.
"Don't go in there if that is happening. He's usually doing something private when his music is blaring," said Tara.
"You could've told me this months, no years, ago," said Jax.
"I thought you knew," said Tara.
"No, no I didn't," said Jax.
"Well now you do," chuckled Tara. "I thought they were going to the pool today anyway."
"Guess not," said Jax. "I'm going back to the shop. I will see you tonight."
Tara nodded her head as Jax walked out of the house.
Later that day
Amber was sitting on her bed at the hotel watching TV. Her mom was going home tomorrow so she was packing. Kayleigh would occasionally glance at her daughter as she packed. When she was done she sat down on the edge of her bed and looked across the gap at her daughter.
"You sure you want to stay the rest of the summer?" asked Kayleigh.
"Yes, mum," said Amberlyn. "I really haven't spent time with Chibs. And I would at least like to know something about him before I left."
"Okay," said Kayleigh. "Did you have fun at the pool?"
"Um…yeah," said Amber. If you count being walked in on in the middle of sex having fun at the pool, then it was a blast, she thought.
