Sitting on her bed in her underwear Enya studied the makeup she had bought earlier that day and wondered what kind of look she should go for. She was not the most makeup savvy girl in the world but she knew the basics. She opted for a smoky eye look with soft pink lips, she looked at the false eye lashes she had got but decided that that would just be too much. She left her hair down but curled it slightly and teased the roots just a wee bit for some volume. She wondered if once the dress was on she would look like a croweater but told herself that she was much better than any of them and had a lot more class.
Chibs sat on a sofa with Happy as the clubroom slowly filled with people. They watched as Gemma ordered around the sweetbutts and croweaters and laughed as Tig brushed off chick after chick, always looking for a hotter one.
"Shouldn't Enya be out here?" Happy asked taking a swig of his beer.
"I guess she's still getting ready, she went shopping earlier for new clothes and what not."
"So what's the deal with you two? Is she out of bounds for the rest of us now?" Happy couldn't help but ask.
"Yes she is out of bounds, well in my eyes anyway. I don't know what she thinks about it all but I sure as hell don't want any of you muppets putting your grubby hands on her," Chibs voice was light but his face told Happy he meant business.
"She's a good girl. If I were you she would be branded and at the Old Ladies table by now, don't mess around brother." Happy advised.
"Yeah, you're right man. I might give her the talk tonight," Chibs stopped talking when a croweater came and sat in between them.
"Hey boys, can I get you two anything?" she asked.
"Nah baby I'm good," replied Happy lifting his beer to show her he already had a drink.
She turned to Chibs who was paying no attention to her, his eyes were on the woman walking towards him.
"Jesus, Mary and Joseph," he breathed as Tig joined them standing in of the sofa.
"Hi guys, like my new dress," she said doing a little twirl. "Oh in fact this girl helped me pick it out, it's Rachel right?"
"Rebecca," the croweater corrected but no one paid any attention.
"I feel like if I try touch you, you will just vanish," Tig said making Happy and Chibs laughed. Enya reached out and pinched him.
"I'm real Tigger don't worry," she giggled.
"Aw, you didn't need to pinch me," he wriggled his eye brows, "could have kissed me."
"You wish," said Enya taking a seat on Chibs lap
"Baby you look so sexy, think Gemma and Clay would mind if we skipped the party?" Chibs ran a hand over her thigh.
"Yeah, I think they would, but we can turn in early." Enya was very aware that Rebecca was still sitting there and by the look on her face she was pissed off.
"Rachel, go get us some beers," said Tig clicking his finger at her.
"It's Rebecca," she hissed getting up to get the beers.
"That one has an attitude problem," observed Happy and Enya nodded.
"Listen up!" yelled Clay walking into the centre of the room, Gemma moving to his side loyally. "A couple of weeks ago we were joined by a friend from the Irish charters and tonight we welcome her properly. It hasn't been an easy time for her thus far but she has proven to be a bit of a godsend really. To our newest family member, Enya," yelled Clay charging his class and the rest of the room followed suit.
"Speech!" yelled Tig, Enya glared at him but stood up.
"I'm not one for public speaking," she said feeling herself go red. "Thank you so much guys, Clay Gemma thank you for taking me in and making me feel so comfortable and welcomed. Moving here and leaving Ireland has been one of the hardest things I've ever had to do and all you SAMCRO boys and old ladies have made it so much easier." She locked eyes with Chibs, "thank you all."
She gave Clay and Gemma both a big hug.
"Baby you look amazing, gez even I want to fuck you right now," said Gemma.
"I feel amazing," Enya beamed, "for the first time since being here I don't feel homesick, things feel right."
"Everything would be right if that croweater would stop grinding on your man," Gemma nodded towards the pool table where Chibs was now standing.
Rebecca was standing next to Chibs rubbing up against him like a cat in heat, he didn't seem to be taking much notice but he wasn't making any attempt to stop her either.
Enya sighed, "I'm not his old lady Gem, I can't do anything about that."
"I'll tell you what I've told tones of old ladies, make your mark. You need to show those lil skanks that you're the boss. You will never be his old lady if you don't fight for him."
"Christ, back in Ireland I had a place. When I was on top of the Donegal charter no one messed with me, shite even in Northern Ireland they were scared shitless of me, I didn't have to put up with this shit."
"These chicks don't know you and they're all clueless to most of the club shit so chances are they never will fear or respect you unless you sort shit like that out." Gemma gave her a knowing look before heading to the kitchen.
Enya needed alcohol. She headed to the bar sitting on a stool in between Opie and Jax giving them each a kiss on the cheek.
"Oi prospect get me a shot of Tequila and a beer," she suddenly realised that she didn't know his name, o well, she would find if and when he got a patch.
"You having a good night darlin'?" asked Jax, "you look hot."
"Thanks Jax. I think I am having a good light, and after this shot and this beer I will be having an even better one."
The shot and beer were put in front of her and she let out a little gasp, "Gunnies? You guys have Gunnies?"
Opie laughed, "I went to Lodi this afternoon and got a few cases of it."
"Aw Opie, you're the best." She downed the shot and gave him another kiss and jumped off the stool. She figured she should mingle since the party was for her.
She headed over to where Juice was setting up the music. "Juice I want some Flogging Molly tonight please."
Juice looked at her confused, "some Flogging who? Babe I got AC/DC and Black Sabbath and that's pretty much it." At the sight of her bottom lip trembling he told her he would do some downloading for her.
She sat with Lyla and Tara for a while and got a quick rundown of who most of the girls were. She talked to a few of the croweaters who seemed really nice before heading back to the bar. She sat next to Bobby and Piney got her another Gunnies.
"How you doing doll?" asked Piney.
"Grand. Grand. I'm having a good time, meeting new people. Everybody is so nice."
"Did you know Kozik is here?" Bobby nodded his head towards the sofas where Tig and Kozik were having one of their little arguments.
"Oh, no I didn't. Guess I'll go say hi."
She walked over to the sofas and sat on the arm of the chair Tig was in. She didn't want to give Koz any idea that what they had before he left would continue. She made polite conversation for a few minutes before she moved to the pool table.
"Enny please tell Happy to stop cheating," said Chibs lining up a shot.
"Oh Filip are you still using the cheating line when someone is kicking your arse at something?" she turned to Happy, "he once told me I was cheating in a ice cream eating contest. Such a sore loser."
"I will use it till I die Enya," he pointed the pool cue at her, "don't call me Filip."
"Yeah, no one calls him Filip round here," Rebecca was still hanging around.
"Look baby Opie got me some Gunnies," she said ignoring the croweater.
"Chibs doesn't like dark beer," said Rebecca rubbing her hand over his chest.
In a flash Enya was in her face, "listen Rachel, I don't need you telling me what he likes or what people call him."
"Get out of my face you Irish slut, you're not his old lady you have no claim on him so just piss off back to where you came from you potato eating whore."
Everyone had eyes on the two women. Chibs had no clue what to do, he knew he should stop the fight before it got physical but at the same time he wanted to see how it played out. He looked at Happy who seemed very turned on by it all.
"You couldn't look after Chibs, you couldn't even look after your own son," smirked Rebecca.
Before Rebecca had a chance to react Enya's fist connected with her nose.
