Chapter 10- Charming Week

"PARKER" she squealed as she took off running when she saw him park. Before he could even completely get out of the car, she launched into his arms.

He laughed and caught her, wrapping his arms around his back, holding her against him as she wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck.

"I missed you too Princess" he laughed against her neck, kissing her cheek.

She pulled back, still in his arms, "I missed you soo much. You have no idea how much I needed you here" she said.

"MHMHM" a throat cleared behind them.

Parker let Katie down, his arm still around her as they turned to see the whole club behind

them.

"And this is Noah Quinn, he's a Nomad. Travels between the clubs when they are needed" she introduced for the second time.

Parker and Noah started at each other. Noah with a glare, Parker with a smirk. He put his hand out and shook Quinn's hand. "Nice to meet you" Parker said.

Noah glared as he shook the other guys hand, "yeah you too" he replied before turning to walk away and put a cigarette in his mouth.

He was going to need some medicinal help to get through this stupid Tacoma Invasion.

Katie waited while Parker grabbed his stuff before grabbing his hand and leading him back intoh the clubhouse.

Abel grabbed her wrist, stopping her from moving past the bar. "Where are you two going?" he asked staring at the two. Glancing from their hands up to their faces.

"I am going to take Parker to the back to put his bag in the room and get settled" she replied.

"What room?" he wasn't missing a beat.

"My room" she replied waiting for the explosion.

"NO FUCKING WAY" Abel yelled.

"And why not? We have slept together before. Don't get all riled up" she said, barely finishing her sentence when they heard glass breaking.

They both looked towards the bar to see Noah slam his bottle on the bar so hard, it shattered.

Katie met his gaze with a smirk. She was being a bitch because she was fed up with his back and forth. She told him how she felt, put herself out there. It was his turn.

Leading Parker away from a raging Abel, they started down the hall to the dorms.

Parker kept looking over his shoulder, "are you sure that's a good idea?" he asked.

Katie laughed, "he'll be fine. He just needs to have a tantrum like a five-year-old then he'll get over it" she replied.

Parker laughed and followed her into the bedroom, putting down his bag on the bed and taking a seat on the edge as she closed the door.

"Buddy boy looked ready to kill me out there when you introduced us" he commented.

Katie sighed and took her seat next to Parker. She rested her head against his shoulder. "That's his own problem. He hasn't done anything since the pool game the night I came back" she replied.

Parker laughed, "well, this week is going to be interesting isn't it" he questioned.

She giggled and wrapped her around him in a hug. Parker kept his arm around her as they got up and walked out and into the clubhouse.

Katie had lunch planned and ready for him. They both made a plate and had their lunch at the picnic tables outside.

The guys were standing around the garage and the clubhouse watching the two. Noah was seething as he watched Katie laugh and lean against Parker.

Joey pulled into the lot and backed his bike in the line in his right position next to Noah's bike. He noticed all the guys outside and in the garage. Curious and slightly worried, he looked around to see Katie's jeep.

Smirking, he looked around the lot and found Katie sitting at the picnic table with another man. He knew who it was and excitedly walked over to Noah who was leaning against the garage glaring daggers at Katie and her friend.

He stopped next to Noah, and leant against the garage next to him, staring at him with a smile. He was practically bouncing with excited energy and it was pissing Noah off.

He glared at Joey, "what?" he growled.

"I bet you are seething right now" Joey teased.

"Shut up" Noah growled.

Joey laughed and made his way over to the picnic tables. "Hi princess" he greeted Katie.

She got up and smiled as she gave Joey a hug, "Hi Joey, this is my friend from school Parker" she introduced.

Parker stood up and shook his hand with a nod, "nice meeting you man. Kat talks a lot about you, it's nice putting a name to the face" he explained.

Joey smiled at the two, pulling Katie under his arm, into his side, "yeah, I've heard a lot about you" he teased grunting when Katie shoved her elbow into his side.

He kissed the top of her head, "that looks good, you cooked for your man sunshine?" he joked.

"Shut up instigator" she retorted before kissing his cheek, "there's more in the kitchen" she replied before joining Parker on the bench.

On the way into the kitchen, he smirked at Noah, who replied with giving him the finger, causing Joey to burst out laughing.

He was looking forward to seeing the drama unfold between Katie, Noah, and Parker.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Throughout the day, Katie started the week with a tour of Charming. She took him for a walk around the whole town, starting at the welcome sign all the way to the clubhouse.

They stopped in front of the diner, Katie's arm looped through Parkers. "This is the diner that I spent all my late nights with Cassidy at" she said with a smile, thinking back to all the late nights they spent sitting at the corner table.

Parker smiled at her, "so this is where you learned to become a master mind huh?" he teased.

She laughed and pulled him in the diner and to their regular table. "Of course, this is where I devised all me devious plans" she wiggled her fingers against each other.

As they took a seat in the booth, Gabby walked over with a smile on her face. She was a cute older woman who would always bring them treats while they were studying.

"OH MY GOODNESS" she squealed, reaching over and pulling Katie into a tight hug, "Look at you sweetheart. You are all grown up, are back from school or just passing through?" she asked.

Katie smiled, "just passin' through for the summer. I still have a couple more years before I graduate but I couldn't come home and not stop in for one of your famous milkshakes" she teased.

Gabby waved her off before smirking at Parker, "you been takin' care of my girl here?" she asked him.

He smirked and nodded, "yes mam" he replied, "we've been looking out for each other" he stated.

She smiled, "good, you. Be sure to do so, or those boys at the club are going to be the least of your worries you got me young man?" she threatened before walking away to get their milkshakes.

When she was gone, he turned to Katie to see her smirking at him. "Seriously?" he asked.

She sat at the booth and burst out laughing. "Why do you think I like coming here" she teased.

Both of them were smiling when Gabby brought over their milkshakes and asked a little about Cassidy. Sure, they went to different schools, but they were best friends and always kept in touch.

After their milkshakes and burgers, they made their way back to the tour of the town. It wasn't that big of a town and Parker saw that pretty much everyone knew who Katie was.

Noah and Joey pulled into the lot and walked back their bikes into their designated spots. They looked around to see that the lot was pretty empty and the guys that were there were working on the Repos.

Mia popped her head out of the office and whistled, catching their attention, "hey you two, I have Repos for you to finish up" she called, waving a stack of papers at them.

Grumbling they made their way to the office and grabbed the papers before taking off to the garage.

"Hey Mia, where's Katie? It's pretty quiet around here" Joey asked.

"She went with her friend for a walk around town" she replied before walking back into the office.

They were busy and there was a lot of work to get done. Changing into their work clothes, the guys got to work.

About 3 hours later, Creed Lowman rolled out from under a car and wiped his hands on a rag. Before he could ask if there was more food, they all heard laughter ring from the lot.

Turning to follow the noise, they saw Katie and Parker walking through the gate, locked around each other. His arm was around her shoulders and hers were around his waist. She was looking up at him smiling bright and happy.

It's the happiest she's been since she's been back. Hell, it was the happiest he's seen her in a while.

Chancing a glance at Noah, he saw the gnome staring at the couple with daggers coming out of his eyes. He was fuming.

He heard from his dad that something happened between them but Noah was acting like a pussy and dragging his feet because of Jax and Abel.

He decided to test this theory.

Getting up, he walked over to the doorway of the garage, waiting. He knew she would notice his bike. She was observant, more than others.

He watched her freeze with her friend, pulling way and walked over to his bike to make sure it was really his, causing him to smirk.

5…4…3…2… "CREED" he looked up and met her gaze smiling when she left her friend, running into his arms.

He smiled against her and pressed her into him for a hug, "Hi cupcake" he greeted.

She pulled away and slapped his stomach, giving him a shove, "you asshole, why didn't you tell me you were coming?" she asked going from happy to see him to pissed in a matter of seconds.

"I wanted to it to be a surprise. Besides, I only got the call last night. We all know you need your beauty sleep and wouldn't want it interrupted" he teased, curling her into his side.

She giggled and rested against him, "I am glad you are here. I've missed you" she said.

They were inseparable when they were little and his dad was at Redwood full time. They were so close, as they got older, people started to think they were a couple. While they fooled around a little, they were only the best of friends.

"I've missed you too. So, who's the jock?" he asked glaring daggers at Parker.

Katie laughed and grabbed his hand, dragging him over to where Parker was still standing when she ditched him.

"Easy killer, your dad likes him and he's the only one who knows about Noah, so go easy" she said under her breath as they got closer.

Parker was just standing there smirking at her, "Parker, this is my club version of you, Creed Lowman" she introduced.

Parker and Creed laughed at her introduction, "Happy's son right? Great, you aren't going to try and kill me too are you?" he asked.

Creed looked at Katie with mischief in his eyes for an explanation. "We were visiting the club and Parker walked through when Happy was cleaning his gun" she winced at the memory.

Creed burst out laughing, "hey, you passed that shit and still here, must mean something. Just know, you hurt her, you become a world traveler" he shook the kids hand before kissing Katie's head and leaving her to explain.

Parker looked at her for an explanation, "he's going to scatter your body parts globally" she stated.

Parker just shook his head and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, "you know we really need to get you less scary friends" he said as they walked over to the club.

She just laughed and shook her head. She wouldn't expect anything less to come from him, but to her they were her family, her uncles and cousins. The people who would do anything for her.

It was beyond awkward when they walked over to the guys. "Hey princess, how was the tour?" Jax asked.

"Hi daddy, it was good. We stopped at Gabby's and got some milkshakes as we continued our walk around town. She says hi by the way" she informed everyone.

The guys laughed and snickered, "she threaten you?" Abel asked Parker.

He laughed and nodded, "yeah, said if I don't take care of Katie, then you guys will be nothing compared to her" he replied.

That got everyone rolling over with laughter, "she's always like that. Wouldn't expect anything less for our princess. Gabby's seen us all grow up" Abel teased his sister.

She shoved Abel away with a smile, "shut up Abel" she retorted.

Tommy shook his head at his siblings, "so, Parker, I know it's only been a couple days, but how you like our town so far?" he asked.

"Not to sound ironic, but it's pretty Charming" he replied.

The guys laughed knowing exactly what he meant. It was a small traditional-ish town where everyone was in everyone's business.

At the bar, Noah was seething, "what the fuck was that with Creed?" he asked Joey.

"I don't know what to tell you man, but they have always been close. I thought they were a thing when they were younger" he replied.

"But she was a virgin" Noah whispered, looking around to make sure everyone was still outside.

"Doesn't mean they didn't do other things" he stated obviously.

Noah snapped his gaze to his friend, "you don't think?..." not wanting to think like that. He wanted to be under the impression that everything regarding her sexually was his.

"Wouldn't you? Look at her" Joey said seriously, glancing at Katie, like really analyzing her.

It was then he realized that she was fuckin' hot and everyone knew it. They just didn't act on it because of Jax, or at least he hoped they hadn't.

"Fuck me, when the fuck is this week going to be over?" he grumbled, hitting his head on the bar.

Joey laughed and patted his friends back, "I don't know, I think it's going to be a pretty Charming week don't you think?" he couldn't help but tease.
