As I got up I noticed Hap was asleep, in a couple of hours I was leaving Charming I actually wanted to go now, try something different. I knew the ride over there was going to be difficult for me, so used to being around my family and just leaving them was not something I was planning on till now. I moved his hand so that I could take a shower and get ready. I decided to wear something comfortable I called Donna and the phone was still off so I left her a message. I started the water and got in. I still had to call Clay to tell let him know I was leaving I had talked to him yesterday but just wanted to let him know. I heard my phone ringing but the water was so comfortable I chose the water I could always call back. I got out and dried myself, I checked the phone and it was Lesley there was no way I was calling her back so I just ignored it. I got my makeup bag and put my makeup in the restroom so that I didn't bother Hap who was still asleep. I decided to skip the mascara just in case I lost it on the way over there. I decided to leave my hair down and not make a big fuss about it. I got dressed with the light from the restroom since Hap was still asleep. I decided to go downstairs after to put some coffee as I put on the coffee I decided to call Clay, after like a million rings Tig answered the phone.
"What" said Tig with his usual morning mood.
"Morning to you to Tig." I said
"Hey Jess, what's up" said Tig I heard a lot of beer bottles hitting the floor in the background.
"I need to talk to Clay" I said hoping he was up.
"Let me get him" he said. I heard him say that it was me on the phone.
"Baby girl" said Clay groggy shit I woke him up.
"Hey Clay sorry woke you up, I was just letting you know I was leaving this morning." I said I knew I was going the cowards way but for now.
"You ain't coming to the clubhouse." he said.
"Um no" I said hoping he wouldn't make me.
"Would of preferred you came to the clubhouse but your choice." he said
"Yeah I will see you when I get back to Charming" I said and hanged up. I noticed the coffee was done and did not hear anything yet from Hap so I just took my cup up to my room. I wasn't really a morning person but I could manage in my good days, what I wasn't good was having time in my hands. I sat on the chair and looked around my room I remember Jax being mad at everyone because I had a room to myself and he had to share with Tommy, but dad said that I needed a room to myself since I was a girl. Jax called it favoritism. Since Tommy had gotten sick me and Jax shared a bed either in his room or mine, when Tommy died we shared the bed with mom at all times. I don't blame mom for being how she is a little over bearing but I guess she has her reasons. It seemed we lost more in this family than gained. I remember when me and Jax promised we wouldn't leave each other after mom and dad were having a fight. We both knew things weren't good, kids shouldn't deal with death, their father hitting their mother. Kids did not belong in this world that was me and Jax had decided. That was one of the many reasons I had decided motherhood was not for me or being an Old lady. As I look at Happy I was going against one of my rules and it was the only one I was going to break. How can someone like Hap look so peaceful when he is asleep like if he had no worry in the damn world. I decided to get another cup of coffee since I had already finished this one.
Happy
I awoke to find myself alone in Jess room, as I sat up and lit a cigarette. As I leaned back I noticed Jess walk in with a cup of coffee already dressed, when the hell did she wake up and got ready if I didn't hear shit.
"Morning you want coffee." said Jess as she sat on the bed by y feet.
"Yeah" I said accepting the cup.
"You want any breakfast" she asked getting up. Where does she get the fucking energy.
"Yeah whatever you make is good. " I said getting up to get ready pulling her into a kiss. After I finished I headed to the kitchen but some pictures caught my attention. There was one with just Jax and Jess outside the clubhouse I think it was the night Jax got patched. The other one was of Clay and Gemma with Jess and Jax they looked happy almost too fucking perfect like if they don't live in danger, like if they don't have a fucking target they are probably the first ones to get hurt when it comes to club life. Now it was my full responsibility to keep my girl safe against anyone.
Jess
After breakfast I cleaned up as Hap checked his bike. Passing the Thank you for visiting Charming like a wake up call. Even though I was ready to go I was fighting the urge to turn around to see the Welcome to Charming sign to feel at home. My phone began to ring it was mom, not even a minute out of Charming and she was already calling me.
"Hey mom" I said as I picked up and turned off the radio.
"Did you talk with Clay before leaving." mom asked couldn't she ask Clay.
"Yeah before I left I called him." I said
"How did he take it?" asked mom.
"He said he would of preferred If I would have gone to the club." I said
"Yeah the guys were looking for for you when Piney let them know you had already said goodbye last night" she said
"I know I just couldn't" I said hoping she didn't hear my voice break.
"Yeah I understand baby" she said.
"Mom I'll call you later." I said hanging up as I began to cry. I had to stop this before it got out a hand. I took a couple of deep breaths and turned up the radio hoping to get distracted with the music. Almost twelve hours on the road between break stops and phone calls all the way to Tacoma all I wanted to do now was sleep. I wanted to stop the car and get out to and kiss the sign when I saw welcome to Tacoma sign. I was that relieved.
Happy
"I thought we were going to the clubhouse" Jess asked getting out of the car.
"Nah come on" I said took out the keys.
"Where are we?" she asked yawning and walking up the stairs far behind me.
"Jess how about walking a little faster." I said stopping so she will catch up.
"so where are we?" she asked again now finally close to me.
"Our apartment" I said as I opened the door and lead her inside.
"You got an apartment?" she asked looking around.
"You'll see it tomorrow common" as I pushed her to the room.
I awoke all of a sudden remembered we stayed at the apartment. I had a prospect prepare a room at the club after I showed her the apartment but knew she was tired so we ended up sleeping on the sheet less mattress in the bedroom. Jess was curled up and using me as her damn pillow, she had only complained that she wouldn't be able to sleep in this cold and no damn pillows. Women were never fucking satisfied. I knew she had cried all the way here, found out the second I saw her face. My pre pay began to ring and I had left it in my cut that was on top of the dresser. I had to move Jess off me carefully so she wouldn't wake up it was too fucking early. I picked up my phone noticing it was Lorca.
"What" I answered.
"Hey don't kill the messenger asshole, everyone wants to see the princess" he said
"Ain't taking her today" I said it was time we spend time alone without anyone fucking bothering us.
"Shit Bully got his hopes up and shit." said Lorca letting out a laugh. Bully had known Jess since she was a baby he hadn't shut the fuck up the whole week they were preparing the apartment.
"Too fucking bad" I said and hanged up. I walked back into the room but stopped when I noticed Jess was sitting up talking on the phone.
"Yeah sorry I didn't call you last night ma was really tired." she said, leave it to Gemma to call this damn early.
"No he got an apartment" I didn't miss her smile when she said it.
"Ma it ain't a shit hole far from it actually." she said with a laugh.
"Mom call you later" she said as she noticed me standing in the door way.
"Okay love you too." she hanged up.
"Morning" she said putting the phone in the night stand.
"Morning" I said moving towards her. I pulled her up for a kiss. "you alright" I asked
"Yeah mom just called pissed I didn't call her when we got in." she said shrugging her shoulders.
"She was already on her way out here" I asked laying back down on the bed.
"You know her well." she said
"You alright with all this shit." I asked looking around the room.
"I love the apartment Hap" she said straddling me and began kissing her way down my chest.
"I'm glad" I said as I flipped us over so that I could take control of the situation. I reached down to take off the damn hoodie taking her shirt with it.
"Hap I'm freezing my ass off and you are not helping me here" she said wrapping her arms around me.
"Oh I will warm you up baby" I said as I bit her neck.
"Hap" she said
"What" I said
"Someones knocking" she said as I finally heard someone at the door.
"You have got to be fucking kidding me" I threw her the hoodie "cover up" I said and walked out of the room.
Jess
I walked out of the room in time to see Hap slam the door as someone was saying something on the other side.
"Who was that?" I asked as I sat down on one of the chairs at the table. Hap just shrugged his shoulders. "What did they want?" I asked
"I don't know, told them to fuck off." he said as he sat next to me.
"And you say I am not a people person." I said
"Your not, I'm going to get your shit so we could go eat." he said as he got up.
"Alright I'm taking a shower then." I said walking towards the restroom.
"mmm maybe I should join you" said Hap as we walked toward the shower.
Linda
I had yet to meet Jess I had seen her in Charming a couple of times, seemed to me that she was way to good to be there I knew John wanted her far away from this life.
"Hey I thought Hap was getting here yesterday" I asked Lorca as he passed by the bar.
"They did" he said it was noon and were they still asleep. "But he said he ain't bringing Jess today." Lorca said as he left the club. Where the hell were they staying? I saw Sparkles walking towards me maybe Bully knew something, I hated not being on the know with this shit last thing I needed was an newbie thinking she could keep her man away from the club.
"What do you know about Hap not staying here" I asked Sparkles as she sat next to me. Bully told her everything since the day they met.
"Bully said Hap got them an apartment." said Sparkles. You have got to be kidding me, was she too good to live in the clubhouse. Well she is Gemma's daughter.
"I thought Hap was going to get here today." said Sam he seems to block everything going around only the club is important. Bully came in just in time as Sam was about to call Hap. Bully was a good Vp to my old man.
"Hap is coming in a while" said Bully as he reached Sam.
"Is he bringing Jess" asked Sam who wasn't very fond the killer had a distraction.
"He better if not I'm going to his damn apartment." said Bully
"I'm sending Lorca and Bones to Nevada maybe Hap should join them." said Sam as they both sat at the table.
"Hap just got back from Charming" said Bully. Maybe with a Jessica here he wont be gone as much as he was. Yeah Happy was patched Tacoma but he tended to work more like a Nomad and spent way to much time in Charming working with Clay.
"Maybe it's a good thing his Old lady is now in Tacoma" said Sparkles I knew she was excited to meet her.
"Yeah" I said as we went outside to get some air and let the guys figure there own things out. As we both sat down on one of the picnic tables we saw Happy pull in. Wow Jessica had grown into a beautiful girl from the looks of it she was John's daughter. There was one thing I did notice she was trouble, but by looking at her I didn't know what she did to get Happy. She was blonde but she had a look of innocence and that didn't seem like Hap's choice in women, but knowing who raised her she could probably be a conniving bitch for all we knew.
"Wow she is beautiful" said Sparkles as we watch them walk towards us. Sparkles was probably going to be kissing her ass for Bully's sake.
"Linda, Sparkles I"ll be back" said Happy said introduced us to her as he left her with us and went to the club. She sat next to Sparkles.
"Hey I'm sparkles" announced Sparkles as she pulled Jessica into a hug.
"Jess" she said as she sat back after Sparkles released her. I wasn't going to say something to her maybe later.
"Wow you probably don't remember me I left Charming when you were a child." said Sparkles. I don't think Jessica was ever going to talk with Sparkles in Charming since she was a crow eater turned stripper.
"Oh your from Charming" asked Jessica as I saw Bully come out of the clubhouse going straight to where she was seated followed by Happy and Sam. Bully went right up to her and picked her up into a hug. I watched Happy's expression he didn't seem bothered but that was not typical Old lady behavior around members.
"Long time no see" said Bully after he finally let her down. Since he was made VP he rarely left Tacoma only for runs and they mostly never made runs to Charming unless needed.
"Yeah it has" said Jessica as she sat back down.
"Well I see you have met my Old Lady Sparkles" said Bully
"Nah we were just staring at each other" Said Sparkles at Bully
"Alright well leave you all alone now" said Sam as he pushed Bully to the shop.
"So hows the apartment" Sparkles asked Jessica
"It's a great place" she said
"Oh that's good" said Sparkles. I felt bad for Sparkles Bully never got her a place they have lived in the clubhouse since she came from Charming.
"Yeah all I need to do Is buy some things" she said. I know it was my pace to show her around but I was still figuring her out. Sparkles could take this one.
"I could go with you, tomorrow is my day off." said Sparkles she still hadn't told Jessica what her profession was.
"That's good because I doubt it Hap would let me go alone" she said
"So just pick me up in the morning." said Sparkles she really can't turn down a shopping trip.
"Alright it's settled then." said Jessica she hadn't even asked Hap and she had already made plans for herself. I didn't notice Happy and Bully were now standing in front of us.
"Jess let's go" said Hap
"Jess see you in the morning" said Sparkles as Hap put an arm around Jessica and pulled her towards his bike. Bully and Sparkles went back inside as Sam came and sat next to me.
"So what do you think of her." asked Sam
"Haven't figured her out, seemed to like Sparkles." I said
"She going to be a problem" he asked.
"Not yet" I said
"You know seeing her, I don't know why would Clay let Happy near her." said Sam as he got up and went inside.
