AU: Getting some really great reviews, please keep them coming. Got my favorite tonight from a guest review, happyforhappy, or something along those lines, anyways, I really LOVED your review and it made me smile. So thank you for that. Enjoy!
"And then we got to this secluded park and he asked me there."
"Oh my god, that's great news Rachel! Congratulations!" Tara exclaimed, giving her a big hug. Tara wondered if Happy did it in a romantic gesture or just came out and asked her. Rachel never shared those kind of details and Tara thought it was something they must keep private to themselves.
"We are really good together, going from never thinking it would be more than a one night stand and now its this, just blows my mind." Rachel heard her phone ring and checked the caller id and saw it was Gemma. She knew Tara and her were still having issues and didn't want to get caught in the middle of it.
"You should probably return Gem's phone call...she's probably already started the list of things you will have to work on to get ready for the party this Friday." Tara smiled at her, glad to see someone else going through it. Although she did feel bad, part of her anyways, Rachel had no idea how annoying Gemma could get planning any event, especially a party for a new old lady.
….
"Gemma, this is way too much we want something more low-key." Rachel rubbed her temples that were throbbing. Trying to help plan was taking on a much more difficult task than she had anticipated. Gemma was tossing her ideas out the window and wanted a big shindig.
"Sweetie, no party for a new old lady is ever low-key. There has to be ice sculptures with shots flowing down them, a dj, decorations, tons of alcohol, food-"
"Gem, I'm tired. I need a break for awhile my heads killing me. I'm gonna go lay down." Rach noticed Gem kept on browsing online at caterers in the area. She walked into the clubhouse and saw Happy playing pool. One look at her and he could tell she was stressed.
"You okay baby?" He rubbed her back when she got over to him.
"No I have a headache and I can't take Gemma right now. Nothing I'm even saying matters, why can't she just plan the fucking party herself?" She sighed and heard a few guys laugh, them knowing how Gemma got planning these events. They quickly shut up when Happy glared at them though.
"C'mon, lets get you in bed...and naked." He whispered the last part to her and she smiled at him, leaning her head on his shoulder as he had moved his arm down to her hip, taking her to his bedroom. She took off her boots and grabbed aspirin out of the door and a bottle of water that he had in his mini-fridge to knock this headache out.
Happy sat down next to her and pulled her in for a gentle kiss before leaning his head against her forehead. "I'm sorry you're going through all this. I'll tell Gem to back off and just plan this shit herself. This is supposed to be a good time and I don't like seeing my old lady like this."
She smiled big at him. "I didn't think i'd like to be referred to as your old lady but I love it more each time you say it. Show me why I'm your old lady."
"Don't gotta ask me twice." He leaned down placing loud kisses on her neck making her giggle as he worked her buttons on her blouse off.
…...
"Okay, thats enough of a break, where is she?"
Happy could hear Gemma just inside the clubhouse and looked down at Rachel who was peacefully sleeping. She had been coming over here after work to deal with Gemma for a few hours for two days both of which she ended up with bad headaches and exhausted. He didn't like that Gemma was ruining such a special time for them by stressing her out. He slowly slid his arm under her making sure not to wake her before slipping on his boxers and jeans and walking out.
"Gemma..." Happy got to her before she entered the hallway and she looked pissed off. "Just plan this shit yourself, Rach isn't having a say anyways and its a waste of her time." Happy crossed his arms, blocking the hallway. There was no way in hell he was letting her get past him.
"No, she's got to help. Every old lady does."
"Gem, I'm not asking." Happy stared her down, daring her to challenge him. Most of the time he didn't dare piss off the Queen, but every now and then he would step up to her if he thought it was appropriate.
Gemma was pissed, but also proud that he stood up for his old lady. She could tell Rachel wasn't enjoying the planning, and should have known with how protective Happy is of her he was going to say something about it. She just wanted to see if he'd actually do it. "Fine."
"And, take some of her suggestions to heart, this party is for the two of us. I want my old lady happy." He walked back to the bedroom and shut the door without a final word or look to the Queen.
…...
Their celebration with the club had finally arrived. Happy showed up at Rachel's to bring here there. "Holy fuck, wow babe." Happy was practically starting to drool. Rachel had walked out in a black halter body con dress that went to her mid thigh. She had on black stiletto heels that had her toned legs fully on display and showing off a hint of cleavage with the dress. Happy finally tore his eyes away to see she had done smoky cat eyes that made her blue eyes even more dramatic. Her hair was all curled and tousled.
"Okay, I'm ready to go." She reached him and went to put on her leather jacket but saw the hungry look in his eyes. "No Hap, we gotta go its our party."
He picked her up putting her on the kitchen counter, quickly throwing out, "you always say something about its good to be fashionably late. This time I'm agreeing." He ran a hand in her curls, while he leaned in and kissed her. He knew she would give into him. No way he wasn't going to have his old lady right that second when she screamed 'sex'. She didn't look trashy like the sweetbutts but just like she was a sexy model posing in the perfect outfit picked out just for her. The dress couldn't have looked any better on her and he was already hard and not going to wait to have her.
Showing up late, Gemma took one look at the two and knew what had held them up. It was no secret they were taking any opportunity to sneak away together and Gemma remembered what that used to feel like. She had Clay and they still had their passion, but it wasn't anything that intense as she saw in these two. She knew Happy before her was working the croweaters over and she could tell how once he was with Rachel and she got through the adjustment period of being with a man like Happy, who enjoyed rough sex and was well endowed to say the least, she would be giving him those same looks like he was her prey when she wanted him. No gossip was going around that Happy had hooked up with any other women and Gemma knew whatever Rachel was doing was keeping her man satisfied. She was going to be a fantastic old lady.
Rachel was shocked to see Gemma had toned the party down a little bit from what they had talked about. No naked people to get food off of which Rach knew Tig would be sad about or elegant caterers. Gemma and the ladies had cooked because Rachel had mentioned she loved the food they would have on Sunday dinners. Gemma did have an ice sculpture that had a few slots on it for shots, but she figured that might be fun.
Rach went up to thank Gemma as Happy had got pulled away by Tig, demanding he do a shot with him off the ice sculpture. "Gem, thank you so much for all your work. I really appreciate it."
"Of course honey, you're officially family now, I couldn't be happier or want anyone else in your spot." The two embraced for a long moment and as they were pulling away, Rachel could see Tara watching, but she quickly turned away. "Nice hair by the way...you're really good with getting the right amount of just fucked look."
Rachel started to blush and lightly shoved Gemmas shoulder. "Shut the fuck up. It was worth it. Guess I should dress up like this more often." The two laughed as Gemma waved one of the prospects over with drinks.
"To you and Happy, I can see how perfect you two are for each other now, how good he is to you and you are to him, and how you are embracing this family as your own. We all love you so much here baby." Once again they hugged and than took a drink.
"Thank you Gem, it means more to me than you know. But please stop because tonight I have heavy eye makeup on and I can't ruin it."
"Don't worry I'm done with being sentimental. Enjoy your party!" She slapped her ass as she walked away and Rachel decided to go check on Tara. She found her outside on the picnic bench smoking a joint.
"You okay? Saw you watching Gem and I."
"Yeah...just nice how you two can get along. She's either loving or hating me, don't know what each day is going to bring but you two seem cheery." She took another hit, gazing out into the distance.
"Tara, I've got nothing against her, I understand you two have history but I don't want it to affect us or my relationship with her. We okay?"
"Yeah we are good. I gotta get back inside, take this...old lady" Tara smiled at her as she handed her the joint and went inside. Rachel sat down on the bench crossing her legs and taking a hit.
"I hear it's official between you two. I believe congrats is in order." Rachel turned her head to see Kozik walking up from behind her. He took one look at her outfit and got the same look as Happy had, but quickly hid it.
"Yeah, thanks Kozik." He gave her a brief hug before she pulled back, offering him the joint and he accepted.
"As much as I hated to admit it to myself, you guys are really great together. If you weren't I probably would have been more of a pain in your side not giving up."
"And I thank you for quitting all that. I know it wasn't easy. Had I not met Hap, things might have played out differently for us. The past is the past now and I'm really glad no one here knows about all that. You guys like to gossip, its like high school." They shared a laugh together and Rachel realized this is the first time they had actually talked since Gemma's, besides being cordial to each other.
"I met someone actually...she's single and we've been hanging out. She's really something. I don't wanna jinx anything, but I might be getting an old lady soon." His eyes were lit up and she noticed he wasn't looking at her the same way he used to. Whoever this chick was clearly had his attention to the point where he wasn't being the typical Koz when she wasn't around.
"Good for you Kozik! I hope to get to meet her someday, at one of these parties." They had finished the joint and Rachel got up off the table walking back into the clubhouse.
"Having fun?" Someone had wrapped their arms around her and she knew immediately it was Hap.
"Yeah, looks like your having fun." She turned around in his arms and could smell the alcohol, that and he was holding two drinks in one of his hands.
"Got you a drink babe." She took a drink of it and coughed, not expecting it to have a splash of pop and the rest liquor. Happy laughed and kept his grip around her waist tight. "Didn't realize it was strong. Might have had a couple drinks on top of some shots." They moved over to the bar where Happy yelled, "GET MY OLD LADY DRUNK!" A prospect came up handing her a beer while he made her a mixed drink. Happy pulled her down on his lap and she could tell she had quite some catching up to do.
Awhile later, Rachel had slammed down quite a few drinks and was at the level of drunk Happy was. He was playing pool and she was listening to some story Chibs was telling her and laughing her ass off. A new croweater was walking by and Rachel accidently bumped into her, spilling her drink on the croweater.
"Go clean yourself up." Rachel pointed to the bathroom and the girl glared at her.
"You're not gonna say sorry for fucking spilling a drink on me?"
"No, you're just a croweater, don't have to." Rachel would normally apologize for doing that to someone, but when it was a croweater who she always saw all of them pinning to get with Happy, she didn't feel bad at all. She went to take a drink when the croweater knocked her into the bar her body hitting the side of it roughly.
"Stupid bitch." Rachel grabbed the croweaters hair, mostly consisting of extensions and threw her head against the bar before tossing her on the ground. She put her stiletto on her neck and pushed down, cutting off the girls breathing. Hap got word from one of his brothers who saw what happened and came over.
"Babe, let it go. Just a croweater."
"Proving a point." She answered and he saw how her eyes were dark looking down at the girl. Rachel had never had words or had an issue with a croweater, she hated how they were up on her man but something about being his old lady now and being shoved into the bar she couldn't let go. She wanted to prove in one time she wasn't someone to mess with. The croweater was starting to go white and Rachel moved her heel to her chest where she pushed down with enough pressure to start drawing up some blood. She released her foot once she saw some blood, not wanting to take it too far, and crouched down to the girl. "You learn your lesson?" She calmly asked.
"Yes." The girl could barely get it out.
"Good, stay the fuck away from me and my man or I swear I won't be so nice next time." She stood back up and Hap wrapped his arm around her, kissing her cheek.
"Gotta be honest, that turned me on. Never seen you like that before." Hap whispered in her ear, pushing his erection against her ass.
"I guess you rub off on me." She smiled at him and he kissed her and tossed her over his shoulder, carrying her to his room.
"We're done for the night, great party!" Happy yelled and there were a bunch of cheers. All the croweaters were tending to the hurt one, now realizing the danger of pissing off the new old lady. The guys were surprised to see that come out of Rachel, but then again, being with the assassin made sense because she saw his dark side and was still with him. A few would have questioned if she could handle the club, a lot of heavy shit came with it, but getting a glimpse tonight of a different side of her besides the cheery, full of life woman. They saw her stand up for herself against a croweater who should have known better than to start a fight with a old lady. Some before it happened thought she might have been a pushover, but she didn't go looking for trouble like some old ladies. She only attacked if someone was instigating it and she had to defend herself. That made a lot of guys in the club have respect for her, because she wouldn't be a headache to have around.
AU: Thoughts? I hope you don't think Rachel is dark, I was trying to make it come across as she wanted to prove in one time not to mess with her or Happy. It is SOA so there is going to obviously be some violence with the women as we all know. Or do you want to see Rachel with a bit of a dark side? Do you want to see more of other characters in this story? Tara? Koz? Chibs? Gem? I didn't know if my readers like more her and Happy moments or want more with the other characters. Send me a review with your thoughts. :)
