I don't own anything except Christina
'I didn't expect someone so early in the morning', the woman next to Christina said while they walked through the aisle, dogs barking left and right. 'But my colleague said you were really insisting on picking a dog today'.
'I was', Christina answered while looking at the papers next to the cages, reading the description about the dogs. She had woken up really early that morning, not having been sleeping that well because of the night before, walked towards the kitchen to make herself some coffee and she had looked around. That was the point she decided it was time to just call the animal shelter and ask for a visit, as soon as possible. So, here she was at 8.30 in the morning looking for a dog.
'What kind of dog are you looking for', the woman asked. 'I've been working here for so long, every single day. I know all the dogs here'.
'Well, it has to be a dog that fits my character. I love running early in the morning whenever I'm able too but I also love just lying on the couch after work and relax. I'd love to share both with my dog. I work at a garage in the office and I'd hate if I have to leave him or her alone at the house so the dog had to be comfortable around strangers but still has to be protective over me'.
'Dogs are good at reading body language', the woman said. 'As soon as they see that someone wants to do harm to their owner, most dogs get protective. Do you want a young dog or an older dog?'
'I really want a younger dog. I really want to get to know the dog, make it part of my little family and help it grow up. I have no problem what so ever with a puppy also because I can take it to work with me, watch over it, play with it and walk it in my breaks'.
'Do you live in an apartment or a home with a yard?'
'House. It has two bedrooms and quite a yard so the dog can enjoy the outside just as much as I do. I don't have a green thump but I do have grass in the backyard'.
'It's not necessary but it's nice for a dog to have a backyard to just play in and stuff. Looking at you and hearing your wants and wishes I think I know a couple of dogs that would be perfect for you', the woman said and started walking in the front.
'So why don't you just go to a breeder?' the woman asked while they were walking. 'Why go to a shelter?'
'Because I've seen dogs being in a shelter. I also know that if they don't get a home in time, they get euthanized which is just sad. Some of them get born in here'.
'It's easier for younger dogs to get a home. Also some get brought here because they have aggression issues or health issues. Those dogs just don't get a home, we just know it when we put them in that cage for the first time. You're right, it is sad. We try but sometimes it's just not enough. I'd love to take every single one of them in but that's not possible'.
They first stopped at a really small looking dog. The woman said he wouldn't grow much more. Christina told her she was looking for a bigger dog so they moved on. The second dog was a hound mix. Christina liked him but when she got into the cage, he walked away from her looking afraid. It was unfortunate and the two moved on again.
'Now the next one, you are going to fall in love with', the woman said next. 'Everybody who works at the shelter has. She's to die for'. And indeed, she was.
Arriving at the cage, the little pup was already waiting for them. She was patter on her feet, clearly happy to see them. The dog seemed not even a year old, still growing and was elegantly build. It had gauzes over both her ears and a cropped tail which made her ass wiggle as well. Christina squinted down so she was at the same level as the pup. Immediately it jumped up, licking the fence and asking for attention.
'She is adorable', Christina said before scratching the dogs head with her fingers which made it bark softly.
'She is', the woman said. 'Believe it or not but she has been here for two, maybe three months now. The woman that brought her in had bought her for her daughter but the girl happened to be allergic. Pour thing. Hadn't even given her a name yet'.
'Don't you guys do that when they don't have a name?'
'Not when they are this young. They have a bigger chance at being adopted and we like to give the potential owners the opportunity to do so'.
'Is she a mix or a breed?' Christina asked while she kept petting the dog.
'She's a thoroughbred Doberman pincher. Woman even had a family tree and passport. Pour girl really deserves a wonderful life'.
Christina nodded. She did and Christina decided she would be the one to give it to her. 'She will', she answered. 'I'm taking her'.
'That's wonderful! I was really rooting for her. She has no health issues or anything. The only needs training since she's only six months old. She pulls a little on the leach. Believe it or not she walks better without it'.
'Good. She probably will be walking off the leach a lot but she needs to know her boundaries so she won't just walk off'.
'Just call her back when she's going too far. After a couple of times, she won't go further'.
'She sounds like the perfect companion'.
'I'm sure she'll be', the woman said, smiling brightly while looking at the two girls interacting. They would make a really good team, she just knew.
After picking up some much needed stuff at the pet's store, Christina drove towards TM. Her mother had already called when she was in the store buying a leach, collar, dog bed, dog blacked for at TM, toys, bowls, food and threats. She had told Gemma quickly that she was doing some shopping but that she would be there as soon as possible.
Looking over at the passenger seat, she smiled when she saw the six month old pup hanging with her nose out of the window and tongue out. Christina laughed about it and admired the black, spiked leather collar she had just bought so the dog would fit the outlaw look. She had decided to name the dog Nymeria, after the female wolf from Game of Thrones. It just suited her and Christina loved the name. Christina hoped her dog would protect her just as much as the wolf had done for her owner in the TV series.
Finally they arrived at Teller-Morrow. When Christina parked her car into the lot, she just spotted some of the guys over at the boxing ring. Hang arounds were all over the place but her mom was nowhere in sight which probably meant she was inside the office.
Just to be sure, Christina hooked Nymeria up on the leach. It was her first day and she just wanted to make sure she made a good first impression. There were a lot of cars and bikes around the lot and she really didn't want her dog being hit by either on the first day. That would be a bad first day.
Christina got out of her car, quickly followed by her new companion. She held Nymeria short so she wouldn't escape her grip while they walked towards the boys over at the boxing ring. She was only a couple of meters away when Tig looked up, seeing her approach. He looked her over, spotted the dog next to her and turned white in an instance.
'O my god!' he yelled before holding his hand out to her, signaling Christina to stop walking. 'What the hell is that Chrissie?'
'That's my dog you're pointing at, moron!' Christina yelled back which got the attention of everyone else.
'No it's not! That's not a dog. That's a flesh eating satanic monster', Tig argued, his eyes on the dog who didn't seem to understand what she had done wrong.
'You're only saying that because it happens to be a Doberman. Come on Tiggie, it's a she and she is only six months old'.
'Why don't you tell that to my but which still hurts by the way?!'
'I told you to go by the hospital because you still needed to get a shot for it'.
Before Tig could say something else, Clay got between them. 'What the hell is going on between the two of you?' he asked, his attention now also on the dog. 'Is that a dog?'
'No, it's a cow', Christina said in a sarcastic voice. 'Of course it's a dog. A six month old dog. I just picked her up from the shelter. She's mine now'.
'Why is it here?'
'I can't just dump her at the house now can I? It's my first day with her, Clay. Come on, please? I promise she'll behave. If she doesn't, I'll drop her off at home myself. She won't bother anyone'.
Clay was about to say no but then the dog sat down. She wasn't pulling, she wasn't whining, she wasn't barking or asking for attention. She just sat there next to Christina like a good girl. When he looked up at Christina, she was giving him the angle eyes which he knew he couldn't resist. She knew about it ever since trying it for the first time when she was about five years old. Nobody could say no to her when she was looking at them like that.
Clay huffed and before stepping closer to Christina. 'She's your responsibility', he said in a stern voice. 'If I get a complaint from anyone, she's gone. You understand?'
'Cristal', Christina said before smiling and kissing his cheek. 'Thank's pops'.
Clay groaned in annoyance. She only called him that when she really had wanted something and just wanted to show how much she appreciated it so he couldn't take it back.
'You got to be shitting me, right?' Tig then said. 'She's got you wrapped around your finger, Clay!'
'She's got you wrapped around her finger too, Tiggie', Bobby said in a matter-of-fact way.
'Pretty sure she's got everyone of us wrapped around her pretty little finger', Jax said while smiling about the discussion.
'You got that right big bro', Christina said before walking over to him, letting go of Nymeria's leach. As she predicted, the dog didn't dare move. She just stayed like a good dog.
'Got her trained already?' Jax asked.
'Nope', Christina admitted. 'I picked her up like this'.
Just then, the petite brunette from the day before walked over to Nymeria and squatted down to pet her. 'O my god what a cute puppy', she said before looking over at Christina. 'She yours?'
'She is indeed', Christina said proudly before looking at her brother. 'Mom in the office?'
'Yeah she is. But I wanted to talk to you first, actually', he said.
Christina nodded before standing up and picked up Nymeria's leach from the ground. Christina started walking, Jax not far behind her. She stopped next to her car, which was far enough from the clubhouse, the office and the garage for nobody to overhear. Just like before, Nymeria sat down and looked up at Christina in patients. 'So what do you need to talk about?' she asked her brother before lighting a cigarette.
Jax breathed in heavily before turning towards her. 'Did you know that Tara had a restraining order against the A.T.F. agents that's been after us for months now? Gray haired guy, has been hanging around the hospital a lot too', he asked in a whispering voice.
Christina thought about it for a moment before shrugging her shoulder. 'Yesterday while they were searching the clubhouse was the first time I saw him', she admitted. 'I knew she had a restraining order against a guy but she never told me who it was'.
'Did she tell you something else? Like why she had a restraining order against him?'
'She told me she had a relationship with him back in Chicago. Some shit happened, they started fighting, he started hitting her and when she told him it was over he started stalking her'. Christina decided quickly she wasn't going to tell him about the abortion. If Tara wasn't going to tell him, she wasn't either. 'What do you know about it?' she asked next.
'She asked me to drop her off at home after her shift this morning. First I thought it was something with the Cuttlas but the car runs fine. On our way I spotted a car following us. Had been behind us since the hospital. I asked her about it, she explained. She told me exactly what you just told me. Figured if there would be something else I should know, you would tell me'.
Christina nodded her head. 'It's all she told me. She never told me he was an A.T.F. agent and that he was in town. Is she going to be okay?'
'I think so but she's scared out of her mind. That guy needs to get out of Charming as fast as humanly possible'.
'Yeah I understand that. Keep an eye on her?'
'Of course sis', Jax said before kissing her forehead. When he let go of her, he gave Nymeria a scratch in the head before walking away, back to Tig and Clay.
Christina decided it was time for work. After throwing away her cigarette, she opened the trunk of her car and got out the skull blanket she got for Nymeria. Grabbing both the bowls in one hand and the blanket under her arm, she started walking towards the office where her mom was waiting inside while doing paperwork. Gemma looked up in surprise when Christina stepped inside, Nymeria right next to her.
'You have a dog', Gemma said with big eyes.
'Yeah, I did. Picked her up this morning', Christina admitted. Lying to her mother would be completely pointless. Gemma saw right through all of it.
'Guess you were buying toys and food when I called you this morning?'
'I was'.
Gemma observed while Christina lay out the blacked and filled one of the bowls with water before putting it on the ground. She unleashed Nymeria but instead of running around like Gemma thought she would, she lust lay down when Christina pointed at the blanked.
'Huh', Gemma said, clearly impressed. 'Maybe I should get a dog'.
'Now you want a dog? After so many years of begging and saying no you want a dog?'
Gemma laughed before turning back towards the paper work. 'So… how was your night?' her mother asked while Christina poured herself a cup of coffee.
'Shouldn't I ask you that question? Which one of us spent the night in a police cell?'
'Don't be a little shit, Christina. My night was just fine, morning just a little better'.
'Well, my night was pretty boring. Why are you asking anyway?'
'Because when I came here this morning with Clay Juice was grinning like a kid in a candy store. Thought you may have a hand in that'.
'That's for me to know and for you to never find out'.
Gemma scoffed before looking at her daughter over her glasses. 'Come on. I'm your mother. You used to tell me this stuff all the time. You remember after you lost your V-card? Who was the one gushing over it with you?'
'Pretty sure Luann was more excited about me losing my virginity than you were. You were the one who told Jax which earned my boyfriend at the time a black eye'.
'You were fifteen!'
'I'm twenty-three now! Are you going to run to Jax again when I tell you so he can take care of it?'
'Not going to work this time. After that talk you had with him, that changed. You ruined it for me. Now tell me! What happened?' Her mother had one of those way to excited smiles on her face. Christina saw the wedding plans flying through her head.
Christina shrugged. 'We made out', she admitted before sipping her coffee.
Immediately, Gemma's face fell. 'That's it?' she asked, clearly disappointed.
'That's it. Club called and pulled him away from me. Don't blame me, I was ready. I didn't have sex since before I got back'.
'That's just pathetic', Gemma said before turning back to the papers.
'Wauw! Thanks mom I love you too', Christina said before turning on the computer while her mother just laughed.
The two of them worked in silence for a while. Nymeria had walked over somewhere in that time and had laid down again at Christina's feet in a protective way. Christina petted her and scratched behind her just cropped ears which were still healing according to the shelter woman.
Gemma and Christina got pulled out of there working mode when someone stepped into the small office. Christina couldn't help but smile when she saw Juice coming in.
'Hey', he greeted with a smile, his eyes scanning Christina before winking at her. 'I'm looking for Clay. Any idea where he's at?'
'Saw him drive away with Tig and Jax. Should be back soon', Gemma said before looking over at Christina. The older woman smiled in mischief before getting up from her chair. 'I'm going to check up on the garage, see if that Mazda is ready', she said before walking out of the office which left Christina and Juice alone. Juice didn't need to be told twice. In just a few, big steps he was at Christina's side. 'Good morning', he said before planting a kiss on her lips. It wasn't as heated as the night before, but it was enough to send a shiver up Christina's spine.
'Hey', Christina grinned between kisses. 'How are you?'
Juice shrugged before sitting down in the chair next to her. 'Great, now that you're here', he said, not being able to get the grin off his face.
Christina just rolled her eyes before going through the papers again. 'You're such a weirdo', she said but giggled when he kissed her cheek.
'Call me whatever you want it's not going to affect me. Now tell me, who is this creature right here?' he asked before bending down and stroking Nymeria's head.
'That's my new partner in crime, Nymeria. Picked her up this morning', Christina admitted.
'I was already wondering when you would get a dog. Figured it would be rather sooner than later. How did you get Clay and Gemma to let her stay in the office?'
Christina just grinned. She had her ways and not everybody had to know them. 'I have my ways', she said before ginning at him. 'Clay wasn't that hard. That was all me. Nymeria was the one that persuaded my mom. She just got on her blacked and lay down'.
'She looks like a great dog', Juice said.
'She already is', Christina said. 'Figured the garage could use a garage dog. Now what are you doing here? And don't tell me it was to ask where Clay was because we both know you saw him drive away with Tig and Jax'.
Juice smiled at that. He knew she was way too smart for her own good. 'You know about that boxing game tomorrow night?' he asked with his eyes still on the blonde princess.
'Yes', Christina nodded. 'Half-Sack is in it, right?'
'Yeah, club is betting. I know it's not the kind of date you wanted but with everything going on and stuff I at least wanted to make up for running out on you yesterday. We were obviously getting somewhere'.
'That's one way to describe it', Christina said with a smug smile playing at her lips.
'I think I just wanted to ask it you… perhaps wanted to go together… with me?' Juice asked in an awkward kinda way.
Christina loved how he was so socially awkward sometimes. She didn't see it when he was around the club or around the Crow-Eaters and sweetbutts. Perhaps it was just something she had awoken inside of him. 'I'd love too. But I'm not leaving her at the house, she's coming', Christina said while pointing at Nymeria who now had her front legs and head in Christina's lab.
'She'll fit right in with that collar on', Juice pointed out. 'I'll pick you up at eight. I'll ride while you drive your car. Maybe we can go somewhere else afterwards'.
'We'll see', Christina said before turning back to the papers when her mother stepped in the office again.
'Don't you have work to do?' Gemma said to Juice when she sat back in her office chair.
Quickly, Juice got up and walked out with a smile from ear to ear.
'Did you blow him to make him smile like that?' Gemma asked.
'No', Christina said. 'You know guys don't just smile after a lay with me. They beg for more. He just asked me to go to the boxing game with him tomorrow night'.
'Seriously, when did you get so boring?' Gemma asked in total confusion.
'When I grew up mamma Gemma', she said before winking.
Christina was home that night, just having some time with her dog. She had been on a run with Nymeria before dinner and the dog had loved it. Got her even more energy than the dog already had which made Christina smile. She had made herself some dinner and ate it in peace on the couch. She had given Nymeria her dinner at the same time; dry food with gravy on top. She had done it at the same time so Nymeria would build up a routine. About an hour after dinner, they'd go for a walk which would also be a part of Nymeria's daily routine.
When they got back from their walk, Christina got under need the shower to relax a bit. After stepping out and redressing herself in her PJ's, she walked over to the bedroom. She crawled under need her bed and was able to get the loose floorboard out. With the black binder Jax hand given her in her hand, she walked back into the living room and sat back down on the couch. Seeing Nymeria's begging eyes, Christina smiled and patted the cushion next to her. The puppy jumped up and onto the couch before laying down in Christina's lap. While she stroked the little pup's head, Christina started reading the book, the words so clear to her like she could hear her father reading them to her.
"The club had always been my family. First it had been my friends in high school, then my brothers in Vietnam and after that eventually the Sons of Anarchy. But soon after my real family started happening, I realized the club wasn't everything. First Gemma and I got Jax, Tommy following a couple of years later. But even with the four of us, it didn't feel complete. That feeling stuck with me until I held my babygirl in my own two hands. After seeing her bright, blue eyes look up at me in a loving way, I knew I had found my family. Samcro always says the club is your family; the club always comes first. But that didn't count for me anymore. Having seen my three beautiful children, I knew I always had to be there for them. I lost that knowledge after Tommy died. I lost sight and believe in both my families. I don't know which one destroyed me more".Christina felt the tears behind her eyes and quickly turned her eyes away from the words, closing the binder soon after. She needed a moment to get herself back together, squeezing her eyes shot to hold the tears back.
A while came from next to her, feeling Nymeria's tongue lick her cheek not long after. Opening her eyes, Christina saw the dog looking up at Christina from besides her, her paws still on her leg in a comforting way.
Christina breathed in a few times before nodding her head. 'I'm okay girl', she said lowly. 'I'm gonna be okay'.
Nymeria licked her cheek again before Christina hugged the dog close to her, a couple of tears escaping her tightly shut eyes.
Surprise and confusion hit Christina when early the next morning her mother texted her, asking her to come to Jax's house. She arrived not a half hour later, finding her mother in the kitchen while smoking a joint.
'What's got you all worked up so early this morning', Christina asked while she got the leach off of Nymeria who started walking towards the bedrooms which confused Christina.
'Follow the dog', her mother said before standing up when Nymeria started to bark.
Christina furrowed her eyebrows and quickly walked towards Nymeria who was barking aggressively in the room that was meant to be Abel's. Seeing what had happened to the room brought Christina in tears before seeing the pictures on the wall which only made her angry. There were pictures of herself, her and Jackson and even of her, Jackson and Tommy. All of them had their faces scratched of which made Christina sick to her stomach.
'What the fuck', she was able to get out from under her breath. 'What kind of sick mind would do this?'
'That's what I'd like to know', her mother said while she stood next to her daughter. 'I already called Jax. He's on his way'.
'Jackson is going to flip', Christina said before looking over the pictures again. She spotted the picture that had to be the one Tara had gotten from her crazy ex, showing Jax fucking some blonde in Nevada. There were other personal pictures. Jackson and their dad, a birthday picture of Tommy and a baby photo where Jax gave a miniature Christina a kiss on the head.
'Do you know who could have done something like this?' Gemma asked, her eyes on Christina's face.
'I have an idea but it would better if you heard it from Jax', Christina said before walking out, Nymeria in tow. Christina let herself sit down at the table her mother had sat on only a minute before. She grabbed the joint from the ashtray and lit it again. Gemma joined her not long after, the split passing between them.
Jackson strode in about ten minutes later. Gemma stood up to show him the nursery while Christina stayed where she was. She looked down at Nymeria, seeing the Doberman pup look up at her like she was just as thrown off as she was.
'You and me both, girl. This town is going to hell, let me tell you that', Christina said before sucking at the split again.
Nymeria let out a small bark, like she agreed which made Christina laugh. Jackson strode back into the room stopping next to his little sister. He kissed her hair before looking her in the eye again. 'I'm taking care of it. This guy is dead'.
'He better be', Christina answered before watching as her brother walked out of the door. Gemma joined her back at the table again, letting out a long sigh.
'Go home, Christie', she said which made Christina look at her in confusion. 'I'll clean up here and someone has to be at the garage. Even if it's for a little bit because you have a date tonight'.
Christina sighed before putting the joint back into the ashtray, her mother picking it up right away. 'No mom, I can't leave you behind with all this mess. At least let me help you with the costs'.
'I don't want to hear it young lady', Gemma said sternly while blowing out the smoke. 'I'll clean it up. Are you able to handle the garage on your own?'
'Sure I can but-'
'No but's. Just go to the garage, make sure the guys do their work'.
Christina knew that there was no way her mom was going to let her help with the cleaning. Truth be told, there was nobody to keep order at the garage right now so it would be for the best if she headed over. Instead of pushing the matter, Christina stood up and kissed her mother's cheek before heading out with Nymeria. 'Just call me if you need anything mom!' She called over her shoulder before she was out the door.
'I will baby. Now scram!' Gemma said with glaring eyes. Christina just laughed and shook her head before doing so and walking towards her car.
It was late in the afternoon and Christina had commanded the mechanics to clean up and get the hell out of there. She was just packing her stuff when her phone rang. With a heavy sigh she put herself back in the office chair before picking up.
'Christina Teller', she answered since she didn't recognize the number.
'Yeah it's me', she heard her brother on the other side. 'I'm at the station'.
'Are you alright?' she asked immediately alarmed.
'Yeah I'm fine. Got a little out of hand at Floyd's. I may or may not have thrown the bastard through the window. It was self-defense though he came at me first'.
'Uhu, sure Jax', Christina said with a sarcastic voice. 'What happens now?'
'Kohn gets send back to Chicago. He will lose his job for lying about this vacation and violating his restraining order. He's done and Tara will be safe'.
'You beat him up, right?'
'Yeah I did but the son of a bitch stabbed me in the leg with a pair of scissors. I'm tired of this shit, Chris. I'm just gonna make sure he leaves town and call it a night'.
'Great idea. I'll call you after the game. You need to get stitched up?'
'Nah, it's fine. And I'm sure you're not gonna call me anyway. Heard something about you and Juice going at Half-Sack's game together'.
'Okay, seriously! Mom needs to shut the hell up because I'm pretty sure she is already telling people about me marrying a Son'.
'Not yet but it won't be long sis. Have a nice night but not too nice 'right? I don't want to hear any details about my sister's sex life coming out of Juice's mouth'.
'You won't, I promise you', she said. 'Now go and make sure that son of a bitch never returns'.
'I will Chris. Take care'.
'Always brother'.
Christina looked at herself in the mirror. This was the sixth outfit she had on but it looked better than every other outfit she had tried on. She turned around and looked at Nymeria on the bed who was keeping an eye on her new owner.
'What do you think?' she asked while biting her lip nervously.
Nymeria gave a single bark while her tail was wagging. It was obvious she had approved. Christina smiled before turning back towards the mirror again to check her hair and make-up one last time. The red lipstick on her lips made them look bigger than they were but it also made her blue eyes pop out. Her eyelashes had a smooth, black coating of mascara and there was a small line of eyeliner on her eyelids. Her blonde hair was down in its natural, rough curls which made her face, according to her mother, almost glow.
Christina was starting to think that the lipstick was maybe a little bit too much but she had no time to think rethink it when there was a knock on her door. Nymeria jumped off the bed and walked before her towards the front door. She could probably smell who was on the other side because the pup was patting on her paws. Christina first ordered her to step back before opening the door, Juice standing on the other side dressed in a dark, low hanging jeans, navy t-shirt and his cut. He looked up when he heard the door open, having to swallow a couple of times while he looked Christina over and took in her appearance. She was stunning, even more than she normally was. She was wearing a loose, gypsy style top that only just reached her belly button with lace on the wrists and hem. Under need she was wearing a black/green leather pants that hugged her hips, ass and legs in the right places. On her feet she wore a pair of heels which made her ass look even better. Her blonde hair was down in her natural curls and her make-up made her beauty pop.
'Wauw', he said in greeting when he had finally found his voice back. 'You look hot, Chris'.
'Thank you', she said before opening the door a bit more so he could walk in. 'You look quite good yourself'. As he walked by her she could help herself but look at his ass which looked great in the jeans he was wearing. It also hadn't gone unnoticed how good his caramel skin looked under the navy color. 'I'm just gonna grab my purse and then we can go. Just do me a favor and get her on the leach, please. It's on the side table'. Before he could answer back she had already disappeared into the bedroom, grabbing her bag from the bed after checking if she had everything.
Walking back into the living she saw Juice waiting patiently for her, Nymeria at his side. Christina had to admit, he looked good with her dog next to him.
'Ready?' he asked when she was close enough.
'Not quite yet', she said with a small smile.
Juice looked confused for a moment until she stood on her tippy toes and pushed her lips on his in a hot kiss. When she let go, Juice was the one to reconnect them soon. He let the leach fall to the ground before putting his hands on her hips and pulled her body flush against him. While their lips moved in sync, Christina's hands went to his neck where she kept him close.
When they heard Nymeria become inpatient, the let go of one another. Juice smiled like he had just won the jackpot which was actually true. He was the one kissing the Samcro princess. There weren't a lot of men that could say that.
While Christina got into her car with Nymeria in the passenger seat, Juice got back on his bike. On their way he kept driving in front of her. He wasn't speeding up or anything. They arrived soon enough at the bar. Christina parked her car and grabbed Nymeria while Juice parked his bike next to the others. He waited for her until she was beside him before slipping an arm over her shoulder while they walked inside. While they did, Juice was a bit surprised to see that not only people greeted her with respect but they also got out of her way while they approached so they could walk through. The guys had always said people close to the club and around the club did that but he had never witnessed it up close.
Soon enough they approached the boxing ring where Half-Sack was getting ready. He was just getting a pep talk from Chibs when Christina and Juice arrived.
'You got to be kidding me', Tig groaned when he looked at her and spotted the dog. 'You are taking that mutt everywhere?'
'Shut up Tig', she said before kissing his cheek and walking towards Half-Sack. Christina pulled herself up with a little help from Chibs before putting a hand on Half-Sack's shoulder to get his attention. The young guy looked up, surprised to see her there and smiling at him. 'Fuck him up, Prospect', she said before giving him a wink. All the pour guy could do was nod at her. Christina got down again before turning around and going to stand next to Juice when the girl from the day before stood in her way.
'What do you want from Half-Sack?' she asked in an angry voice which made Christina laugh. She just couldn't help it. Seeing the girl standing there with two tape strips on her nose and a blue/purple bruise under need her eyes, she knew this was probably the girl her mother hit in the face with a skateboard.
'Relax darling', she said with her most pretty angel like smile, 'I'm not after him. He's all yours'.
'Why? Is he not good enough for you because he's a prospect?' the girl continued.
'Just don't worry about it. I've already got my eye on someone else'.
Before the girl could ask, Juice appeared at her side again while holding out a beer to her which she took with a smile before kissing his cheek.
'Ow', the girl immediately said, 'I'm sorry I didn't mean to be rude I just-'
'It's okay', Christina said with a nod. 'You're just protecting him from all the grabby little Crow-Eater hands. I get it, believe me'.
The girl smiled before nodding her head at the pretty blonde. She was pretty and Cherry had seen Half-Sack's reaction. Looking at her, she knew why. But now that she knew this was the girl Juice was talking about on their way back to Charming, she felt a hundred times better. 'I'm Cherry by the way', she said to be polite.
'I'm Christina, Christina Teller', Christina introduced herself. She really wanted to hold out her hand to be polite but she was holding a beer in one and Nymeria's leach in the other.
Cherry's face started to change, pulling into a different expression. 'O my god. I'm so sorry, I didn't know. I've heard about you. You're Jackson Teller's sister'.
'Yeah, also the daughter of the woman that did that to your face', she said.
'She's a tough woman', Cherry said.
'Yeah well, some people consider me more dangerous than my mother so be warned', she said but gave the girl a wink after, showing her not to take it serious.
Last round had been finished and Half-Sack had won but nobody seemed too happy about that. Probably had something to do with the money but Christina kept herself away from that business for tonight. While the guys walked to the van with Clay, Christina walked to her own car with Nymeria and Juice. She opened the door and put Nymeria inside before turning so she was face to face with Juice.
'I had fun tonight', she said with a smile pulling at her lips.
'Me too', Juice said while smiling himself. 'But that's only because you were here'.
Christina felt herself blush before closing her car door and pulling Juice closer by his cut. 'You and your corny lines are going to be the death of me Juan Carlos'.
'You said it princess', he said before giving her a flirty wink. He wasn't comfortable by kissing her in public places yet, both of them weren't. They had their first real kiss only a couple of days before and he wanted to take it slow with her. He knew she wasn't the type of girl that wanted to seal a relationship first chance she had but she also wasn't the type that was going to sit and wait. Christina was going to walk away when it took him too long to figure out. Timing was key here. Juice wanted to figure out how this was going to be between them, what is was and if he wanted more than just a good lay. The last one he already knew because Christina wasn't just a girl you had sex with. She had the club's protection but she wasn't the girl that would go crying at her uncles just to get what she wanted. He knew that if he wanted out, she would respect it.
Christina looked at him with her clear blue irises. Hearing her nickname coming from his mouth sounded so much different than when one of the other guys said it. It was almost like he worshiped her when he looked down at her, wanting to kiss her and make sure she was knew how wonderful she was. 'You make it sound like I'm a real princess', she said. 'Like I wear a crown'.
'Because you do', he said before taking her hand and holding it up, showing the crown ring around her finger. 'See, you do wear a crown'.
'That doesn't make me a princess'.
'Maybe not', he said before kissing the crown ring. He wanted to say something more but he didn't, he was afraid that it would seal the deal, that it would give her the wrong idea. So he didn't. He didn't say those four words that were laying on his tongue.
"But you are mine".
They are so damn cute together don't you guys think? First date? Check! Next chapter: There's an ambulance in the garage box and Christina might be running again. Let me know what you think about it you guys!
