Perfect Guy - Chapter 80
"So how are you and Hap doing?" Tara questioned as Sutton sipped on her coffee as they sat outside of the coffee shop on Main Street, and couldn't help but to smile a little bit.
"We're doing good for the most part." Sutton started, "I had a little insecure moment the other day when I went to the garage and saw one of those pornstars on the back of his bike." Sutton added, "I don't think I will be able to handle all those sluts walking around all the time."
Tara nodded her head in agreement, "That's when you put them in their place Sutton. You can't let them think he's free to do whatever he wants with them. Most of them have no morals or respect for the men's spouses." Tara stated.
Sutton gave a nod, "I just... it's the one thing I hate most when it comes to all this shit apart from the chance of jail time and him being killed. I just know what kind of man he was before he met me and a part of me I think is always worried that he'll get tired of the domestic side of life and go back." Sutton explained as they sipped on their coffees.
"When I first came back from Chicago, Jax was running through women left and right and when Wendy came back after Abel was born, that was rough..." Tara began to explain.
"But you and Jax have a history. Anyone who looks at either of you know that you guys have been together for years, and even when you weren't together you still were in some sense." Sutton explained, "With Hap, I think it just boils down to him wanting to take a break when I was pregnant. I know he said that it was because he was scared he wasn't good enough, but for some I just feel like I'm the one who isn't good enough for him." Sutton added with a small sigh, "I never felt like this up until I had Julian. I'm a hot mess all of a sudden."
Tara let out a little laugh, "I've been there when I had Thomas. Is it because of the baby weight or something? I mean, honestly it doesn't even look like you've just had a kid."
Sutton shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. I mean I'm not as toned as what I was before I had P, but I was okay with after because I ran and stuff since Hap was in jail and when he got out I just missed him so much and we were just connected." Sutton explained, "Then with Julian, I think it's because I haven't been able to do much since I'm still healing and sitting in the house and not working, I think I'm just getting inside my head." Sutton explained.
Tara thought for a moment, "I have some time off coming up, why don't we get out of our comfort zone and do a pole dancing class? I saw something the other day and it looks like a lot of fun."
"Wait, what?" Sutton nearly coughed on her coffee, "Did you say pole dancing class?" Sutton questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"Hey, it's just an idea. I mean you can always use it to spice up the bedroom with Hap if you're any good." Tara offered and Sutton scrunched her face for a moment.
"I'm willing to try it but I don't have anyone to watch the kids while Hap is working or shit with the club." Sutton explained with a slight frown.
"Well Neeta watches Abel and Thomas for me when Gemma can't, I can talk to her to see if she'd be willing to babysit P and Julian if you want to do this or if you just want to get out whenever." Tara stated.
Sutton thought it over for a moment. She had met Neeta a couple of times and thought the woman was extremely sweet and was really great with Abel and Thomas. She also knew that she would have to talk to Happy about having someone else watching their children, and knew that it would be a tough conversation.
"Yeah, that would be great. I'll have to talk to Happy though about it first. Could you find out a price?" Sutton questioned and watched the woman nod her head, "So are you and Jax doing better now?" Sutton questioned.
"For the most part. He's been dealing with trying to fix the crap Clay did to the club and it's running him ragged. He's not spending much time with the boys and I so it's taking a toll on him." Tara explained.
"Can't he get away for a couple of days with you guys? Have the VP take over while he's away?" Sutton questioned and watched as Tara furrowed her eyebrows for a moment.
"That's not a bad idea. I'll have to mention that to him." Tara stated, "He read something his dad wrote before he died and he said something about him not wanting the club to go in the wrong direction." Tara commented, "I feel so bad about the direction the club was in and Jax is trying like hell to fix it so there's not any danger anymore but Clay had everything so fucked up..." Tara shook her head.
"I may not know a lot about the club but I see the toll it has taken on the guys, on Hap, and I'll say that I can't wait for things to get better. I hate everytime Hap walks out that door because I'm worried fucking sick that something will happen. But since Jax has taken over, I don't worry as much. I don't appreciate him having Hap become a driver for those damn pornstars though."
Tara shook her head, "He just doesn't think sometimes. When he wants something done he wants it done right then."
"Apparently." Sutton commented, "But if he does something like that again, I might have to knock him down a peg or two." Sutton joked.
Sutton decided to glance at the time on her cell phone and saw that Happy had tried to call her and she frowned since she hadn't heard her phone ring, "I got to call Hap back real quick." Sutton added to the woman and unlocked her phone to call the tattooed man back.
"Hey baby, everything okay?" Sutton questioned as Happy answered the phone.
"We came back to the house and you weren't here."
"I thought you were staying with Tig until later on?" Sutton questioned with furrowed eyebrows.
"We were but Penelope doesn't feel good again, and Julian is getting fussy and wouldn't settle down so I figured bringing them back here might calm then down. Where are you at mama?"
"Oh no." Sutton frowned knowing her daughter wasn't feeling well, "I'm just having coffee with Tara, I'll head back soon." Sutton stated and hung up the phone before Happy could protest.
"Everything alright?" Tara questioned.
"Yeah. P just hasn't been feeling the best and Julian is fussy." Sutton sighed, "I think P has allergies or something because it seems like it's been happening every couple of weeks or something." Sutton added running a hand down her face.
"Well I can drive you back home. I completely understand, I hate being away from Abel or Thomas when they don't feel good." Tara commented.
Sutton almost sighed in relief, "Thank you."
The two women stood up from the table and grabbed their coffee cups and headed towards Tara's car and got into the vehicle. Tara wasted no time in starting the car.
"I'll talk to Hap later tonight about Neeta babysitting so we can plan a day for us to go try to make a joke of our selfs with this pole dancing thing." Sutton joked causing Tara to laugh.
"It can't be that bad! Plus there's a dozen of different things we can try if we don't like the pole dancing class." Tara stated.
Sutton gave a nod and knew that she would have to bring up the pole dancing class to Happy so he knew why she wanted to have Neeta watching the kids, and she wasn't quite sure how Happy would react to that. He didn't care if she worked out, but she also knew that he was extremely possessive of her and dancing on a pole in public could rub him the wrong way.

Happy sighed in relief when Penelope went straight to sleep in her crib once he had laid her down with her favorite blanket. He hated the fact that Sutton had hung up on him when he tried to tell her that she didn't need to come home. He heard a car door shut and realized that the woman had came home and grabbed Penelope's baby monitor and headed down the stairs.
As he landed on the final step, he watched as the gorgeous brunette walked into the house and wasted no time in kicking off her shoes and shrugging off her jacket carefully as she held a coffee cup in her hand.
"Penelope's laying down. She didn't fight me." Happy stated as he followed Sutton into the living room and he moved to lift the little boy up from his swing as soon as he started to whimper.
"I think I'm going to make a doctor's appointment for her. I think she might have allergies." Sutton commented as she leaned down in front of Happy to kiss Julian's forehead, "This little guy just missed his mommy." Sutton added and took the little boy from him and held him in her arms and she moved to the couch.
"I did make it to the store though. I had Tig watch them while I dropped the groceries off." Happy explained as he moved to sit next to Sutton on the large couch and moved to where he was laying down and gestured for Sutton to do the same and she carefully placed the little boy on Happy's bare chest.
"What is for dinner?" Sutton questioned as Happy handed her the controller to the xbox to start up Netflix.
"I haven't decided yet. You have any requests?" Happy questioned as he wrapped an arm around her and kept a hand on Julians back as he started to doze off.
Sutton thought for a moment, "I don't know right now."
Happy let out a chuckle, "So what did Tara have to say? She say anything about why she hasn't been around?" He questioned.
"She just said that she was having some issues with Jax and things from the letters she read. She said she felt bad for being such a bad friend and not being there when Julian was born. I mean, I understand that people have issues, but I told her that she could have came to me and vented because that's what friends were for." Sutton explained and felt Happy kiss the top of her head.
"Well hopefully she'll be there for you more." Happy commented lowly.
"Hap, can I ask you something?" Sutton questioned and felt Happy squeeze her side lightly, silently telling her to continue, "How would you feel if I had Neeta watch P and Julian a couple of times a week?" Sutton questioned gently.
"Why?" Happy questioned.
Sutton knew that he just wanted to know what Sutton was wanting to do by the tone, "Well I was talking to Tara about wanting to get back into shape, and she mentioned something about pole dancing classes and she has some time off coming up..."
"What?" Happy questioned.
Sutton felt the tattooed man tense a little but relaxed a moment later, "It's a pole dancing class. It's just like working out but instead of using weights and stuff you use your body weight. It's not like I'll be naked and will become a stripper. It's just something different to do since running can only do so much." Sutton explained.
"Where would it be?" Happy questioned, "I don't like the idea of you grinding your ass against a pole with god knows who around." Happy growled lowly.
"I don't think there would be any guys around. I think it's a women only type of thing. Besides, if I'm any good at it, we can put a pole up in the bedroom and I can put on shows for you." Sutton teased.
Happy thought about Sutton dancing against a pole wearing barely anything for a split second and felt himself getting a little hard and had to quickly push the thoughts away.
"I guess. I don't want mother fuckers around you when you do this shit." Happy grumbled and Sutton couldn't help the laugh that escaped.
"I think I might look into boxing classes too. That way you know I can defend myself and if you act out I can beat the shit out of you." Sutton joked as she buried her face into the curve of Happy's neck, "Thank you for letting me sleep in and taking the kids with you for a while." Sutton added.
"It's no problem. You've been a hell of a mom since day one and take care of the kids before yourself, it's the least I could do."
"I love you." Sutton smiled and kissed Happy's scruffy cheek.
"Love you too." Happy commented.
