Chapter 8- Triangle
"I know, but today was my last day before my week off to spend with Parker. Thanks for letting him come daddy, I really need him" she stated, mumbling the last part under her breath so he didn't hear her, but he did.
Jax nodded, "he's one of your best friend's princess. Of course, he is welcome here. I have even better news better for you. Kozik and Happy are staying for a while, I need them here" he stated.
Katie smiled, "that's good dad. Parker missed the Killah" she teased before pulling away, wiping some hair behind her ear.
She looked exhausted and disheveled. She had her glasses on, her hair up in a lazy bun that was falling apart at the seams.
Jax smiled at her appearance, she looked just like her mom does when she has late night shifts that are crazy.
"Why don't you head in the back and take a nap. I'll send one of your brothers to wake you up for dinner" he said.
She nodded, "I'll be in Tommy's room" she said saluting to the guys on her way through the clubhouse and straight to the back.
Opie made his way over to Jax, "where's Katie, the guys said she just got here" he asked.
"She's taking a nap in Tommy's room. She left really early this morning to shadow in the OR" Jax explained.
Opie nodded with a knowing smirk, causing Jax to scowl at him annoyingly. No one knew him better than this best friend and it was irritating.
"What?" he snapped.
"Is that the reason you sent Quinn on the run with Abel and Joey this morning?" he asked.
Jax tried to school his features as to not give anything away, but it was too late. Opie hit it right on the head. He already knew what he was talking about.
"I don't know what you are talking about" he replied.
Opie couldn't help but laugh and slap Jax's shoulder, "I don't envy you man" he laughed.
As promised, around 6pm, around 6 hours after Katie got there this afternoon, Jax sent his son to wake up his sister and tell her to come and get some dinner since she didn't eat all day and slept through it.
Tommy walked back towards the dorms and to his room to shower and change before dinner when he saw his sister still fast asleep in her scrubs. It looked like she only managed to take off her glasses and shoes before falling asleep.
He laughed, pulling off his shirt and continuing his way to the bedroom. He would let her sleep a couple more minutes while he was showering. He changed into some jeans and a black t-shirt under a flannel before putting his kutte back on and walking over to the side of the bed.
He leant over and shook her shoulder. "Katie" he called.
"Katie, come on, wake up" he shook her a little harder.
She groaned and rolled onto her back, a hand over eyes, rubbing her palms over her eyes before peaking through her hands at her little brother. "What?" she asked her voice still full of sleep.
"Wake up and shower, dinner is ready. Dad ordered pizza and wings for everyone" he stated.
She nodded and sat up, rubbing a hand over her face. "I'll be out in a couple minutes" she replied before getting up and walking into his bathroom.
She took one look inside and smirked, there were towels on the floor, his clothes all over the place, still in place. "You are such a pig Tommy" she called out before slamming the door.
Tommy was walking down the hall when he heard her. He just started laughing. When he got to the common room, he noticed his mom and the other ladies putting salad and other bowls on the tables, setting up the buffet with the pizza, wings, and drinks.
"Where's your sister honey?" Mia asked her youngest son.
"She's in the shower" Tommy replied, causing Noah, who was walking out of Church to stumble in his steps and walk right into Abel.
When he realized it was the oldest Teller he ran into, he backed up, his hands up in surrender. "Shit, sorry man. I wasn't watching where I was going" he played it off.
"Fuck, your heads been up your ass the last week. What the fuck is wrong with you?" Abel growled.
Jax and Opie stood back by the bar watching. Since his talk with his wife, he had an idea of why Noah stumbled when Tommy said that Katie was in the shower. One part of him was happy that a brother would always look out for her and she would be safe, the other side of him was pissed.
Noah glanced between his president and Abel who was expecting an answer. 'I'm fuckin' your daughter and can't stop thinking of her naked body pressed against mine…' Damn, they were going to kill me. He thought to himself, thankful they were just thoughts and no one could hear them.
"I got a lot on my mind. Sorry again" with his head down, he moved quickly away from them to join a couple of the other guys outside to get some air. He had to play it cool. He couldn't ever let Jax know he had fucked his daughter.
He sat on the picnic tables and held his head in his hands, rubbing his hands over his face, letting out a deep breath, looking into the sky for divine intervention.
He couldn't get Katie out of his head. He was hooked. She was like a drug and he was addicted. No matter what he did, she was all he thought about and it was starting to drive him crazy.
A couple minutes later, Kenny popped his head out, "food's ready" he called to everyone that was outside.
Noah walked in to see everyone sitting around the common room, scanning the area for his girl, but coming up short. He started his way towards the food, freezing when Katie walked out of the back in a tank top that showed her mid-drift and black legging shorts, her hair down around her shoulders, wearing glasses.
She looked like a fucking wet dream, the tank top and shorts showing off her curves and hugged her in all the right places.
"WHAT THE FUCK KATIE?" Abel yelled, breaking him out of his trance, glancing around to see all the guys swallowing hard, trying to get themselves under control.
Katie stopped at the end of the table and popped her hip out, crossing her arms across her chest, pushing up her ample breasts. "Why are you yelling for Abel?" she replied.
Abel stood up and looked like he was going to explode. He waved a hand in her direction, glancing at her up and down. "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN WHY AM I YELLING? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WEARING? WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU WEARING THAT FUCKING PIECE OF FUCKING SCRAP?" he yelled at her, ready to blow a gasket.
"I wear this at home and at my apartment, what's the big deal? Dad didn't say anything so why are you freaking out? You aren't my dad Abel. IF DAD HAS A PROBLEM, then he can tell me, otherwise, I don't have to listen to you. Now, I had a long day and I am not in the mood to deal with you, so reign it in" she practically growled at her brother.
Before Abel could really explode, Tommy stood up and got between his siblings. "OKAY, ENOUGH. GOD, I am sick of you two" he shrugged out of his kutte and handed it to his sister before taking off his flannel so he was left in a black t-shirt.
He grabbed his kutte and slipped it back on before handing the flannel off to Katie. "For the love of my sanity, put that on" he gave her a look not to argue.
She sighed and put her hands up in defeat, "fine" she grabbed the flannel and put it on over her clothes. "Happy now?" she taunted her older brother.
"Button it" he growled.
She shook her head and buttoned on button over her chest. "There, it's buttoned, can we eat like civilized humans now?" she argued.
Tommy let out a laugh and shook his head, "don't push it Kat" he stated handing her a plate.
She smirked and took the plate from her younger brother and made her way to the food table. She put a slice of pizza, some mac salad, and regular salad on her plate before taking her plate and taking a seat next to her brothers outside on the picnic tables.
Tommy plopped down next to her and put a diet coke in front of her with a lime slice. She smiled through her pizza, "thanks Tommy" she replied.
Noah sat on the other end of the lot, the picnic table across from her so he could look at her without being caught or suspicious.
He was mid chug of his beer when Joey plopped next to him with two plates in his hand. "Damn man, you save any food for everyone else?" he laughed as his friend started shoveling pizza in his mouth.
He finished chewing and wiped his mouth before grabbing his own beer to chug, "what? I am a growing boy" he teased.
Noah shook his head laughing. "You are an idiot" he replied.
Joey smirked, "I maybe an idiot but I don't have a death wish" he stated before digging into the mac salad.
Before Noah could ask what he was talking about, he froze, tracking Katie as she made her way over to their table. She wrapped her arms around Joey's neck, leaning into him from behind.
"Sunshine" he greeted, his eyes on Noah, who was clocking her movements.
"I need a favor" she stated.
"Well yes, I will pop your cherry sunshine, time and place doll face" he replied, smirking when Noah's jaw ticked. This was going to be fun… Joey thought to himself.
Katie flung her head back laughing, she leant forward and kissed his cheek, "you wish" she teased.
Joey smiled at her, "damn, way to kill my fantasy sunshine" he played along, knowing exactly what she was going.
She giggled in the crook of his neck, "sorry, but I need you for something else. You still work at the gun range this week?" she asked.
Joey's smile brightened, "you want to play with my gun Sunshine?" he teased, causing her to flush.
She shook her head against him, "you are so bad you know that. No, I want to play with a bigger gun when Parker comes this week" she stated, causing Noah to choke on his beer.
They both looked at him curious. Joey couldn't keep the smirk from his face as he looked at his friend. He was totally screwed, he had no chance of redemption after this, if he lasted the week.
"How can I be of service Sunshine?" he asked. He wanted to keep this conversation going as long as possible, just to torment his friend.
"I have a lot of things planned to do with Parker this week, but I was thinking of taking him on Friday afternoon before the party. Does that work?" she asked.
"Anything for you Sunshine. Just text me when and where you want me" he replied.
She smiled big and kissed his cheek, "thanks Joey, I owe you" she stated kissing his cheek one more time before going back to her table.
When she was gone, Joey watched Noah, who had yet to take his eyes off Katie as she walked away. When he finally returned his eyes to table, Joey just laughed.
"Like I said, death wish" he stated, bursting out laughing at his friend's glare.
"Shut up, no one knows" Noah shushed him.
"Dude, are you fucking crazy? Katie? Of all the fucking girls in the world, you pick the SAMCRO Princess? You're fucking around with Jax Teller's daughter? Do you seriously have a goddman fucking death wish?" Joey whisper yelled at him.
Noah wiped a hand over his face, running his hands through his hair before dragging them down his face, scrubbing his face. "I didn't mean for it to happen. It was just one time. Katie and I are the only ones who know and it is going to stay with the three of us" he stressed the importance of the secret.
"Bro, you are a fucking dumbass if you think this shit you are doing with Katie is going to stay in Seattle, and thinking Jax or God forbid Abel find out. That's just stupid" he warned Noah.
"You need to cut it off now before she gets hurt, you get kicked out of the club and killed. Think with your brains and not your dick. Damn, you owe respect to your president" he added before Noah could say anything.
Noah nodded in understanding. He knew Joey was right, and he also know who would hurt the worst when this came out and it was Katie. He was in over his head.
If he broke it off with her right then, she'd be hurt, but she would move on with her life. He couldn't +treat her like a croweater. For God's sake, he'd popped her cherry.
How would she feel if he never touched her again? How would he feel? He'd had feelings for her since he was 16. God, every time he fucked a redhead, he pretended it was her.
No, he should have never touched her. He was so damn messed up. A nice girl like her didn't just give herself to anyone. She deserved a long-term relationship and he couldn't do it.
"So you gonna break this shit off?" Joey asked, snapping Noah back to reality.
"Yeah, you are right. I lost my fucking head" he held his head in his hands.
"Women have a knack of making us do that" Joey stated finishing off his beer.
Noah would break it off. He had too. Katie would be upset, but she would understand it's for both of their sakes. She needed a guy who wanted to settle down. He didn't have time for that now. They needed to worry about the drug dealers in their territory.
"Katie, when is Parker coming?" Jax asked his daughter.
She grabbed her phone and scrolled through her messages. "He finishes practice today, so he should be here by tomorrow evening, latest Sunday morning" she replied.
The guys nodded, taking in the information. They needed to get working on the drug problem.
After dinner, Katie staid back to help her mom clean up, when she noticed Noah and Joey talking to Abel before getting on their bikes and leaving.
She followed them with her eyes until they were out of the compound and out of sight, but with the direction they went, they were heading towards the bad part of town.
She left the dirty dishes on the table and stalked towards her brothers. "What's going on? Where are they going?" she asked.
"Club business" Abel replied.
Katie followed her brother back into the clubhouse and up to the bar, knowing that he fed her a line of bullshit.
"Bullshit! I know better Abel. What is going on? I have a right to know, my friend is coming here and I don't want to put his life at risk" she argued.
"We won't let that happen. We are taking care of it" he stated getting himself a beer, trying to ignore his sister.
"What are you taking care of? What is going on?" she pressed on.
"Jesus Christ Kat, do you ever let up?" he spun around towards his sister.
She just stood there staring at him with her hands on her hips, waiting for an answer. "There is something going down with drugs in our territory. Someone is trying to encroach on our territory, but we are taking care of it and keeping an eye on things" Tommy explained before his siblings could go at it.
Katie whipped around to her brother, "so is it safe for Parker to come or should I have him reschedule?" she asked, wanting to get to the point.
Abel shook his head, "it's fine. We are going to put a prospect with you anyway" he replied.
She groaned, "why? I am going to be here and around town. Joey, Nick, and Mac are all going to be at the shops, so I think we are going to be fine" she stated.
He shook his head, "Mac is going to be with you. We already discussed it and went over everything" Abel retorted.
The guys rolled up to the alley behind the trailer park, so they had a good vantage point and were able to see everything.
They met up with a well known druggie that they knew and worked with before. "Set up the buy and we'll take care of the rest" Noah said, standing with Joey, facing Billy.
Billy met their gaze and shook his head, "that'll never work. They'll make you as bikers. None of you guys can do it. You all look like bikers" he kept shaking his head.
Joey nodded, "you got a point there" he stated.
"We'll figure this out. Just set up the buy for tomorrow night and we'll take care of the rest" Noah was getting frustrating and very impatient.
He wanted to get back and deal with his situation with Katie. He needed to figure out what he was doing with his life.
"I can't be found out as a snitch" Billy shook his head, scratching his arms. He was itching for his next fix.
Noah was quickly losing his patience. He glanced at Joey before turning to Billy, "You aren't going to be found out. We don't leave any evidence" he reassured him.
"Just send Happy or Tommy word when the buy is set up" Joey added before they both turned around and left.
It was going to take time to get everything planned and worked out. When they got back to the clubhouse, they pulled into the lot and walked their bikes back into their spots.
"You ready for the triangle show about to happen this weekend?" Joey asked seriously as they walked back towards the club.
"What are you talking about? What is a fucking triangle show?" Noah replied looking at his best friend curious.
"The triangle show that is going to happen between you, Katie, and her friend Parker" Joey teased nudging his friends' shoulder.
Noah glared at Joey as they made their way towards the clubhouse. "There is no fucking triangle. She is mine, I just need time to figure out how this is going to work" he argued under his breath as they got closer to the club.
"Well, I hope for your sake, you can control your outbursts this week because from what Bones says, they are all over each other. All of Rogue River and Tacoma know it, I mean, even Happy tolerated him for 4+ years" Joey reasoned.
Noah tensed and just internalized everything. He knew his friend had a point, but that didn't matter to him. She was his and she was always going to be his. He didn't give a shit about her friend.
"I don't give a fuck about her friend" Quinn seethed, trying to reign in his anger.
Joey laughed, "oh yeah, this weekend is not going to end well"
They both walked in to see Abel and Katie facing off.
"What's going on?" Joey asked Tommy off to the side.
"Katie doesn't want Mac to follow her Parker this week" Tommy explained.
"Why the fuck not? What is planning on doing with him that we can't know about?" Noah blurted out before he could stop himself.
Joey and Tommy looked at him shocked. Tommy curiously looked at his club brother. His suspicions about his sister with the Nomad were confirmed. Joey just smirked and shook his head. This week was not going to end well.
"What's it to you?" Tommy asked the Nomad.
He shook his head, "nothing, just wondering how close the two actually are" Noah tried to dig himself out of the whole he dug for himself.
Abel and Katie were going at each other. Neither one was willing to back down. "Mac is following you around and that is final" he ordered.
"When hell freezes over. I am going to spend time with my friend and we are going to do it in peace, without a shadow. We are staying around town, so we'll be fine" she argued before stomping off, back to her brother's room to get her clothes and stuff to leave.
Abel looked over at the group of guys staring at them in amusement. "She is going to have a fucking shadow whether she likes it or not" he stated before storming off to the garage.
Before anyone could say anything, Katie came back out of the back, with her bag and clothes in her arms. She stopped in front of Tommy and the rest of them.
"I am going to say this one time" she started, "If I see Mac, Terry, or any other club member following me this week, I am going to castrate you all in your sleep and dose the crow eaters with hormones" she threatened before storming away, smirking when she noticed all the guys covering their packages.
"Aww, come on, you wouldn't do that to me baby cakes" Joey prodded, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
Katie winked and yelled out her window, "sorry, your guilty by association stud muffin" she teased before driving off the lot and back home.
Joey smirked at her response before turning to guys, "anyone else excited about this week?" laughing when all he heard was groaning.
