A/N: Okay I decided to go with Herman Kozik on this one for Lydia. For one I don't see many stories where Kozik gets the girl, and two Lydia is well a Princess. She is also a very strong woman set in her moral compass. As in she won't lose her V'Card till her wedding night and well Happy couldn't hold out that long. Second she needs a strong man who is modern enough to understand her independent streak, but old fashioned enough to 'smack her bike in line' if the situation calls for it. Basically Lydia is used to getting what she wanted when she wanted it. Juice is too sweet, and maybe a rat, and Jax well not only is his relationship with Tara up in the air he's more of a older brother type, plus he lets Tara walk all over him most of the time. Okay on with it.
As Lydia was driving along the highway bound for Stockton to look at a space to set up a studio so she could get her aunt's place going again, she was thinking about her conversation with Happy the next morning after he told her the night before she was too strong and too independent for him. He wanted a doormat and Lydia wasn't the type.
And he expressed that she was so attractive, that she couldn't hold off much longer, and was in dire need of pussy. No self control in other words, and since he was engaged he couldn't get with the croweaters or sweetbutts. Last he forgot to give her his crow. I mean that's marriage in the biker world and not some piece of paper.
The breakup stung since she was starting to fall for him. Their major fight about him not understanding what she was going through with her dad, teaching Abel the term 'fucking neanderthal, and exposing Tara for what she was about to do. Oh and finding out about her crazy family. He couldn't do it. He was just attracted to her, but not enough for something long term.
Her family did it for him, and she found out alot about her parent's marriage also. They were not getting along so mommy went to Belfast to see her parents, while daddy had a mistress. Though from the talk around the clubhouse John Teller was devastated over losing his younger son Thomas so he ended up with her great aunt, and the two had a daughter together.
It had been two weeks and a lot has happened in such a short time. There was a former Marshal by the name of Lee Toric sniffing around. He was Pamela Toric's brother. The nurse her Uncle killed with a crucifix. The club was trying to get out of guns and Tara was still trying to get herself out of her predicument.
Though on her side she had gone to Long Beach and stayed at Misty's for a weekend while Misty was on a weekend break from shooting her movie since there was a hurricane in that area.
Though her ex had shown up raising hell. He busted in through the door of the beach house and began beating the shit out of Misty. Lydia came up behind him and knocked him out with a baseball bat before she called the Long Beach police and Jonathan and Eva Marie Coyle to let them know what all had gone down in their house.
Lydia had also had time to write a couple of songs and send them off. Gunpowder and Lead, which she sent off to Miranda Lambert after getting the idea of what went down in the beach house with Misty and her ex. The second song she sent off was also accepted by Patty Loveless. I Try to Think About Elvis. That was based on her broken engagement, but she still thought of him.
So two songs that were accepted by singers so some extra money was coming in. She had bought herself a house accross the street from Jax and Tara. It was a three bedroom two bath that had a large inground swimming pool in the back yard, and a modern kitchen. That in itself and the patio was what turned Lydia onto the house.
She was making it. Two songs that were hits with the singers, her ice cream shop was a favorite amoung the Charming citizins and out of towners alike, now it was time to get her mom's sister's business up and going again.
Lydia was so busy she didn't have time to be heartbroken. Though she couldn't get what her dad said out of her head after she told him that they ended it. 'You are going to end up with a Son. That's a given. You can run all your life and distance yourself, but they run this town and they are the only ones that I trust to keep you safe and well taken care of."
She tried to stop thinking about him. Her dad was barely hanging on, and she knew that once the inevitable happened she would be all alone. Lydia shook those thoughts out of her head as she turned up the radio to CCR's Have you Ever Seen the Rain came on.
"What the fuck! Stay in your own lane!" Lydia cussed at a pickup truck that about slid into her lane as she drove down the highway.
Lyla are you okay?" asked Jax.
"I want Opie." she cried.
"What happened?" Nero asked.
"I needed a job and so Ima got me this number for these brothers. What they didn't tell me was that it was torture porn." said Lyla.
"You got her into this?" Jax looked at Ima in a mad voice.
"I got her out of there. They had references and everything. We got their number from the Saffron producers." said Ima.
"Where is this place at?" Jax asked.
"Stockton, at the docks." said Ima.
"Koz, Tig, and Hap with me. Mom you and Juice take Lyla back to the clubhouse." said Jax.
Lydia pulled her Lexus up beside a deli/donutshop/grocery store and parked. Getting out she locked up her car and walked inisde.
"Hi can I help you?" a woman behind the counter asked.
"I'm looking for Charles Barosky. It's about a space that I'm interested in either renting or if possible buying." said Lydia.
"Lydia Hale?" the older man asked walking out.
"Yes that's me." said Lydia.
"Charles Barosky. Though I must say you don't seem like the type to own a porn business." he said.
"Money is money as long as it legal and legit. You can't judge a book by it's cover." said Lydia. She was always judged on her looks. She was blond so she wasn't smart. Her dad was rich so she was spoild and never had to work a day in her life. It was constant. So she figured out how to put the haters in their place and prove them wrong.
That's why she had such a drive within her, and was desperate to succeed. Proof, she owned her own home, had two business, and had wrote two hit songs that the artists loved as well as their fans.
"Well come on I'll show you the space." said Charles as he walked out unlocking and then opening the passenger side door of his black BMW.
"Well aren't you a gentleman." said Lydia.
"So is that all that you are into? Porn? Sorry the reason I'm asking is I have a friend, well friend with benefits. She's a madame and she wants to go legit and clean it up. I know that the escort business is legal, but I know nothing about about it. Oh and my mom taught me that' it's best to be a gentleman when it comes to the classy ladies." Charles added as he drove.
Laughing and feeling totally comfortable with this guy she just met she said. "Well my late mother's late sister's best friend's boyfriend. I know it's a mouthful. Anyway he owns an escort service call Dosia Norte. I can see if he can help you, but he is also half owner. The same people that have the other fifty percent of my business also has fifty percent of his. I don't wanna step on anyone's toes so I would talk to both sides. As far as my end goes the business was my mom's sisters and then it got handed to me. I'm in charge of getting it up and running again." said Lydia.
"Oh okay. Just get me in touch with them so I can help out my friend." said Charles as he looked at his phone. "Aw shit trouble at the docks. Someone's stirring up shit in my town. Are you going to be okay?" he asked.
"I'm packing heat so I'm good." said Lydia as he drove to the docks and was met by several of his Stockton cop friends.
"Stay behind me and the others." said Charles as Lydia got out of the car with Lydia following.
"What's going on?" asked Charles.
"Well we got calls of shots fired and now it looks like there is a fight going on." said Carl.
"Okay lets deal with this shit." said Charles. The first thing that Lydia saw was SAMCRO knocking the hell out of some guy. "Hey hey hey! Break it up! Now what is going on, and what gives you guys the right to come and tear shit up in my town?"
"Well these asshole Persions are doing torture porn. Really hurt one of my girls badly." said Jax.
"Liar. They wanted it." the guy spit out as Kozik punched him in the face again.
"Okay listen up this is my town. Nothing goes on without me knowing about it and getting my approval. Now I was going to show this young lady here the studio since she is looking for a space to set up shop, but I need you to clean up all this shit first." said Charles.
"Out of all the spaces you end up here?" Jax commented.
"I'm not in your club, so I'm no concern to you." said Lydia.
"Hey show some respect." Kozik put in.
"Was I talking to you blondie?" Lydia fired back as Kozik walked over ready to put her back in line.
"Hey I don't know how it goes on the MC world but around me you don't threaten a woman unless she is holding a knife or a gun to your head." said Charles.
"Is the space doable Jax?" asked Lydia.
"Yea it is. We just need to clean it up. Sick fuck has a two tubs. One filled with blood and the other with piss." Jax answered.
"Ewww. Sick freaks." said Lydia.
"Where's Tig?" Happy asked then.
Meanwhile Tig was dunking the other guy's head in the tub filled with piss. Getting his head out the guy said. "So your daughter was in one of my movies. She screamed for you. Daddy daddy daddy, as we took turns raping her. Daddy daddy daddy!" Tig lost it and dunked him back down in the tub drowning him. Then he threw the guy into one of the cages and then tossed it into the water.
"I'll show you daddy. Prick!"
"What the hell happened?" asked Jax.
"I'm sorry Jax. He mentioned Dawn and I lost it and drowned him before dumping his body in the water." said Tig.
"Come on lets go. I called the prospects to start cleaning this space up. Carcara will be up and running soon." said Jax.
Lydia rode with Charles back to his store where her car was at. After giving him the money they shook hands on the space at the docks. She really wasn't in the mood to fight with SAMCRO, and Kozik was already getting on her last nerve.
"Hey Jax Charles said he has a madame friend who is looking to clean up. I mentioned you and Nero. Maybe you can open another escort service here in Stockton. Closer to getting out of other shit. Oh another thing Jax I have been talking to your mother and and a grandparent's love goes along way and at times it's even stronger. Say one word and I'll make a phone call to help you out. Love ya Jax." she said giving him a hug and kissing him on the cheek.
Her great grandfather, Moureen and Trinity Ashby, and Fiona and Kerrianne were the only blood reletives left on her mom's side and on her dad's side Jacob was all she had left, but he was fading fast. Though the reason why she pointed out to Jax about a grandparent's love was one, to help him understand that yes even though Gemma messed up when she drove high with the boys and got into an accident, she loved them more than anything. Since Nero she was happier and on a better path. Secondly since her dad still has it in his mind what kind of man she would marry she thought that maybe she would cut out risks with her connections. Aka 'hand grandpa can you do me a favor?"
Getting into her car she drove back to Charming intent of having a quite evening sitting in the hot tub with a glass of wine.
A/N: After a failed engagement life still goes on, and Lydia proved she could still land on her own two feet and come out stronger. Now I know that some of these things are in Season five, but I'm doing my own story line. Like I'm not sure if I'm gonna have Juice get high and confess that he killed Darvany Jennings, or if I'm gonna kill Clay after the prison break or not, and last about whether or not Tara runs with the boys and Gemma kills her. Anyway I love your thoughts and opinions. Enjoy!
