I am going to start jumping ahead a little. Their relationship is solid; however there will still be a few more scenes before Happy graduates. I am also beginning to show how Happy gets introduced into the SOA in the next few chapters.

I do not own or claim any right to Happy, SOA or any of its characters, only Casey and the occasional drop in.

Chapter 12

The next month flew by rather quickly, as the two of them were both busy with their normal schedules of school and work. Happy actually attended school more than he used too now, although he still missed days, but when he went to school he would pick her up in the mornings and walk with her to classes then drive her home or to the studio after. Art class was different now, as most days they sat side by side instead of across from each other, and actually talked. They were like most high school couples that were young and in love.

It was the day before Valentine's Day and Casey was walking home from the studio after closing it up for her mother. Happy had to work late at the garage so she planned on doing some studying and looking over college brochures before bed. Hearing the rumble of a motorcycle behind her she smiled, thinking Happy had managed to get off after all, but as she turned around her smile faded when she saw Louis instead. Choosing to ignore him, she continued her walk hoping to ignore him, but like the idiot he was he slowed his bike down next to her, "Hey there chica, let me give you a ride home, someone as pretty as you shouldn't be walking all alone." Casey just ignored him and kept walking, looking straight ahead hoping he would get the hint, he didn't.

Louis stopped his bike and got off of it, jogging to catch up to her. "Let me walk you then, consider it an apology for my behavior the last time we saw each other." He said as he fell into step with her.

"Louis, please stop. Get back on your bike and go do whatever it is you were on your way to do." She said as she stopped walking and turned to look at him, folding her arms over her chest. "I have no interest in you, in any way. I know I have told you before, so stop whatever it is you're trying to do."

"Your man will be leaving in a few months, your interest could change." He replied smirking at her. "But not in your favor." She said as she turned her back to him and started walking again. This time he chose not to follow her, but yelled from behind, "Time will tell."

When Casey got home, her mom had just pulled into the driveway. "Hey mom thought you were going to be later." Casey said walking to unlock the front door. "Me too mija, but plans changed." The two women went onto the kitchen and made a light dinner together.

"Mom, you have been going out a lot more than you used to, is everything ok?" Casey asked.

"Yes baby, it is. Same old committees and meetings, but I guess since you asked, I should tell you that I have met someone." Casey stilled with her fork in midair and looked at her mom, this was definitely a surprise. Yes, it had been six years since her father had passed, and Casey could see that her mom was still young and deserved to find happiness, but it was still weird. Reading Casey's mind Tabby stopped eating and took Casey' hand, "Honey no one will ever be able to replace your father or the love we had, he was my soul mate and I am not looking to replace him. However, I get lonely sometimes even with you and the studio and all the friends I have made, I still need companionship. Can you understand that?"

Casey nodded, surprised that she actually did understand here her mother was coming from. "Tell me about him." She said as she resumed eating her salad.

"We met last summer through some mutual friends, however only started dating in the fall. His name is Les Packer and he is from San Bernardino, owns a small auto shop there. He's a nice guy Casey, and he has been good to me so far, even though we aren't by any means serious. You would like him, and I bet Happy would too, he's in a motorcycle club."

"In what circle of friends did you meet him through? I mean, no offense mom, but your circle of friends don't usually include mechanics."

Tabby held her head back in laughter. "I was at a bar with some friends when he showed up, he's Tina's cousin." She said. "Turns out he's here often for business." Casey could see the light in her mother's eyes and getting up to put her plate in the sink, she hugged her. "You deserve to be happy mom. "I'd like to meet him if that's okay." Tabby nodded enthusiastically, "He will be here this weekend, and maybe we can grab lunch or dinner." Casey agreed then excused herself to take a shower. Getting out and putting on her pj's she turned her TV on low and pulled out her homework, finishing both math and biology. She then pulled out the folder containing information on colleges she had been looking into, knowing that if she was going to try for a dance scholarship she would need to send in a video tape soon. After looking through what a few had to offer, she still couldn't make up her mind. Yes, Juilliard was perfect, but if she didn't want to pursue dance as a career she didn't see the point, and she wanted to be near wherever Happy might be. Closing the folder and putting it on her nightstand she turned off her light and left the TV on.

Pulling the covers up over her she heard a soft knocking on her window and knew it was Happy. She smiled when she opened the window and he climbed through, leaning down to give her a kiss which she eagerly returned. Taking her hand and leading her back to her bed, he kicked off his shoes and laid on the bed, pulling her into him. "Sorry I couldn't get away any earlier to pick you up." He whispered to her.

"Don't be, I'm a big girl and walked before you, I can still walk now." She responded as she snuggled into his chest. He smelled so good, like cologne, cigarettes and cars. He slowly ran a hand up and down her back as he asked her about her day and what they wanted to do for Valentine's Day. Casey decided not to ruin their time together by telling him about Louis, so instead asked if he would be in school tomorrow. Shaking his head no, he told here they were backed up at the garage and he needed the money.

"I understand babe, but I'll miss you anyways, like I do every day you're not there." She told him, "I need to get to sleep though."

"So sleep." He said as he picked up her remote and started flipping through the channels. He had slept over a few times, but never while her mom was home and Casey wasn't sure about him staying there now when she was.

"Hap, my mom is home. You will fall asleep and I don't want my mom to find you here." She told him, slightly nudging him towards the edge of the bed.

"I promise to be quiet." He said as he turned to her and started kissing her neck. "Can you do the same?" Not with you kissing me in that sweet spot she thought to herself. "Hap, really…" she said as his hand slid up her t-shirt, massaging her naked breasts. "Fuck it." She told him, pulling him on top of her. He smirked and lifted her t-shirt over her head, "Have I ever told you that your tits are amazing?" he whispered as he played with them, and then lowered his head to take turns sucking on them. Casey loved it when he sucked on her nipples, and ran her hands over his bald head as he did so, arching her back so that he had easier access to them.

Making quick work of his belt, Casey started to lower his jeans, but instead he stood up and pulled off his shirt, then jeans, boxers and socks. Climbing back on top of her, he kissed his way down until he was licking at her pussy. Casey had to bite her bottom lip to keep from moaning out loud. He licked back and forth between her opening and her clit, then put in two fingers and licked her at once. That was all it took for her, she was bucking against his mouth and using her hands she held his head there, "Don't stop licking me Happy," she moaned. "Right there, right there…Fuck your tongue is amazing! I love your tongue baby." She kept repeating before her legs started shaking and he knew she was about to cum. Holding her in place, he buried his tongue deeper and pushed against her clit and she came like a broken faucet, wetting the sheets all around her. Happy looked up to see that she had placed a pillow over her face to keep from crying out, and as he kissed his way back up her body, and positioned himself to enter her, he took the pillow away and kissed her.

She could taste her sweetness on him, and she was still so sensitive from her orgasm that when he entered her she bit down hard on his lip, needing something to keep her quiet. He growled into her mouth, finding the bite a real turn on and started thrusting in and out of her and she met each thrust with one of her own. "That's my princess," he whispered, "I fucking love you, I love this." He growled as he reached down and put his hands under her ass, raising her hips to make her take even more of him in. Buried into her, she started moaning and he took the pillow, placing it under her hips and then leaned back down to kiss her mouth. He felt her muscles clamping, and he knew she was going to go again, and he would be right there with her this time. Kissing her neck, he felt her let go and at the same time she bit his shoulder which threw him over the edge and he came with her.

Riding out the orgasm together, their movements slowed and eventually came to a halt, but Happy stayed in her. Propping himself up in his elbows he looked her in her eyes. "You are so good baby, you know that?" She shook her head and giggled. Wiping at his back, he looked at his hand. "You drew blood!" he exclaimed. She bit her lip, "Sorry babe, I was trying to be quiet." "It's okay, I kind of liked it." He said as he got up and went into her bathroom to clean himself up, then came out with a wet washcloth and towel and cleaned her as well. Casey loved this about him, she had heard from friends that their boyfriends threw towels or t-shirts at them to get cleaned up, but Happy always took care of her which made her love him all the more.

After putting the towels in the hamper, Happy put his boxers on and lay in bed next to Casey. "Now, go to sleep babe. I promise your mom won't know I'm, here." He told her, and she was too exhausted to argue.

What felt like only an hour later, Casey's alarm clock went off. Groaning she reached over Happy and turned it off, then rolled onto her back and rubbed at her eyes. She was exhausted, and wished she could just skip school today. Turning on her side to look at Happy, she studied his facial features and as if he knew she was watching him, he opened his eyes. "Morning" he said, still snuggling with the pillow under his hands. "Morning." She smiled at him. "I could wake up next to you every day," she said as she reached across and rubbed a hand over his head. Pulling her closer to him with one arm, he nuzzled his face in her neck and murmured, "That can be arranged."

Just then there was a knock on her door. "If you need a ride to school I'm leaving in 30." Her mother said from the other side. Looking at Happy, Casey placed a finger over her lips making sure he understood to be quiet. "No mom, I'm good. Hap is taking me." She answered. Then, much to her surprise Tabby said, "Well, tell him to come on out and eat breakfast while he waits," And walked away.

Both Casey and Happy's eyes widened. "There is no way she could have heard us last night." He told her. "And there is also no way I am going out there." Casey didn't know what to do, so she quickly threw on a pair of jeans, bra and t-shirt, ran a hand through her hair and put into a pony tail while Happy got dressed as well. Making her bed quickly she turned to look at him. "You are most definitely facing her with me. I told you should have gone home." She glared at him. He smirked; she was cute when she was irritated.

Walking out of her room and into the kitchen, Happy stood at the entry way while Casey walked in slightly ahead of him. "Mom?" she asked. Casey couldn't believe she had been busted, and was honestly a little scared at what her mom was going to say.

"Both of you sit." Tabby told her pointing to the kitchen table as she poured them all cups of coffee. Casey shrugged her shoulders at Happy, who was shaking his head side to side, telling her he wasn't going to sit. Pulling out a chair, Casey pointed at it, glaring at him letting him know that if he didn't sit they would have a problem. So, like a dog with his tail between his legs, he sat and Casey sat next to him. Tabby bought over their coffee, and Happy took a sip while she added a little cream and sugar to hers. Then Tabby sat at the head of the table and looked at the two teenagers in front of her.

"Let me speak first, no interruptions." She began and Happy started to sweat while Casey paled. "I know you stayed over last night Happy, I could hear you in the bathroom late, and I also know it isn't the first time you have stayed, I have neighbors you know. Casey I know you are on the pill so I know you are taking precautions to be safe. I am not one that believes in allowing teenagers to sleep in the same bed under my roof, however Happy you are 18 and Casey you have always been honest with me and give me no reason not to trust you, as have you Happy. So, with that said, I will not lecture and I will not say he cannot stay, but this will NOT be a regular occurrence. Are we clear on this?"

Happy and Casey were both stunned, but nodded their heads eagerly in understanding. "Good." Tabby said, and then looked at Casey. "I was thinking we could have a girl's day today, you know Mani's and Pedi's, and it has been too long that we have spent time together."

"I have school mom." Casey told her, but Tabby shrugged her off. "You got any tests or anything?" Casey shook her head. "Then it is settled! You and me, we can even get facials and hit the mall."

Casey wasn't going to argue. Happy excused himself since he had to work and Casey went to get ready for the day with her mom. The two spent the morning getting pampered, catching up on things, and then went to Wienerschnitzels for lunch and pigged out on chili cheese dogs and fries.

"Les will be in town tomorrow, I was thinking we could have lunch with him." Tabby told Casey. Casey nodded, she didn't have any plans and Happy would probably be working. Thinking about Happy she asked her mom if she could take him lunch, and her mom agreed. Ordering him two of everything, they rode to the small garage he worked at. While Tabby stayed in the car, Casey went to the small office with the food and asked if she could speak with Happy, the mechanic looked her up and down before getting Happy.

Coming out of the garage with a grease rag around his hands, he was surprised to see Casey standing there with a bag of food. "Hey!" she told him holding up the bag, "Thought you might be hungry." Taking her to the small break room he shared with other employees, he took the food from her and placed it on the table before pushing her up against the wall and kissing her hard on the lips. Casey, unable to resist him, wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. When he finally pulled back, he took in her swollen red lips and flushed cheeks, "I am hungry." He said grinning. "Dork!" she said laughing as she swatted playfully at his chest.

"Having fun with your mom today?" he asked as he sat down and started eating.

"I am, actually, she's in the car so I can't stay. We are heading to the mall now. What time are you off?" she asked.

"Four today." He replied. "How about I pick you up from the mall for dinner?" she nodded, not thinking her mom would have a problem with it. They planned to meet at five in the food court and as she went to kiss his cheek he turned and kissed her lips instead. "I meant it, I am hungry."

"More like horny," she told him, then whispered, "But that's okay, I am too." She walked out of the break room and waved, "See you at five."

He suddenly had no appetite for anything but her as his jeans got tighter, watching her ass as she shook her hips a little more for him when she walked out. Putting down his fork, he closed his eyes and again found himself trying to think of anything else but her.
