I spent the rest of the day anxiously watching the screen of my phone, even when I knew it was pretty much impossible that he was going to call. For instance, like right after I gave him my number. It's kind of embarrassing to say but I've never gave a guy my number before. When I think about it, I kind of feel like a loser because of it. Maybe I missed out on some great experiences. I didn't really like anyone in highschool, you know I was still sure that Opie and I were going to end up happily married so why break anyone elses heart? Guys didn't talk to me much either but when your friends are as menacing as mine I kind of understand why. Now here I am, patiently praying a guy calls me and it feels foreign to me, like this isnt normal.

I managed to get some tasks done, between Gemma, Donna and me, we got the entire clubhouse clean. I cleaned out the fridge too. I even spruced up the dorm rooms while I was at it. All of that and he still didn't call. Maybe he was trying to lightly let me down and I just didn't realize it. All of his 'if it's meant to be it'll be' crap; maybe he was trying to give me a message and I didn't comprehend. Hell maybe he did have an old lady, they say all of the good ones are taken right? I couldn't help but feel disappointed. I guess I misread his interest in me, he probably was just trying to get in my pants. That alone hurt just as much as Opie falling for Donna and Jax dumping me as his friend.

I had Gemma take me home about four, I thought I'd cook dinner for mom for once. She does so much for me and I take it for granted. It's time I start to appreciate her. I knew she was going to ask how the party was, I wasn't sure what to say. Do I tell her about Josh? I don't want her to get misleaded the way I obviously have been. I know she's been worried about the fact that despite being all that and a bag of chips, I still was a single Pringle. I guess I could tell her and leave out the part that I gave him my number. That way I don't look like a loser. I can't believe he didn't call. I know they had to have made it there by now, they were gone by 7 a.m. Here it is after four. I swear I'm never putting myself out there again, this sad feelings of regret sucks badly.

I threw together some fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, baked beans and some honey butter biscuits. I got an idea to invite over Donna she's probably just as lonely as I am. Then again I don't know what she does when Opie's not around. I think she still lives with her mom right now while her and Ope are trying to find their own place. She answered on the third ring and was more than happy to come over. They say misery loves company which is true, but when I'm miserable all I want is to laugh and smile again.

My mom was surprised when Donna came over. I'm not sure if it's because I have an actual female friend or the fact that I was now best friends with the former love of my life's soon to be wife. Either way I think she was glad to see someone other than Opie or Jax coming to dinner.

"So how was the party girls? Did we enjoy ourselves? Meet anyone interesting? " Donna laughed. I looked down at my plate, to try to hide my reddened cheeks. I swear I feel like that woman could read right through me.

"Well I enjoyed myself as much as possible ma'am since I can't drink. I imagine that Faith has told you Opie and I are having a baby." My mom laughed and placed her hand over Donna's. Mom does that though, the touching when she talks. Well depending on the person, she doesn't do it to everyone, just the ones she knows.

" Oh honey please call me Joanne. Yes I've heard, what are we hoping for a girl or a boy? I know all that matters is baby is healthy but I was a expecting a long time ago I remember the jitters."

"I think every woman wants a little girl. I can't help but wonder who or she will grow up to be. Who it will look like, will it have my personality or his? It's just so much." Mom nodded in contentment. I never really put that much thought into pregnancy before. I couldn't imagine actually growing a person. It sounds terrifying. I can't imagine myself being pregnant, is that weird? Hell I can't even find a guy who I like enough to think about babies. I shook out my going to lie, I was glad they were talking among themselves. It just gave me more time to think about what I was going to say about Josh. There was no way around it, I knew I was going to be asked by Donna if he called or not.

"So what about you Luanne, did you have a good time?" Before I had time to say anything, Donna intervened.

"Did she ever! This guy from another charter flirted with her the entire night. You could feel the heat from across the room." Mom looked at me with a raised eyebrow and I turned as red as a cranberry. I finally looked up at her face and she was wearing a slight smile.

"Oh really, so who is this mystery man?" I started to fiddle with my hands. What do I say? He's smoking hot, has manners and makes small talk about my panties? No definitely couldn't say the last part. I could tell her he's from Washington so she didn't worry. Should I mention that he's gorgeous? Definitely. I don't want her to think ugly guys, like Kyle, are attracted to me.

"Well he's a really nice guy. His name is Josh. He's from Washington. He's gorgeous by the way." It all spilled out of my mouth so fast, I wasn't sure she understood a word I said. She tapped her finger on her cheek and then started to laugh.

"Oh is that all? How old is this Josh? Is he single? Are you going to be seeing him again?" Uhhhmmm of course she asks all the questions that I'm not sure of the answers.

"Well I'm not exactly sure how old he is, not much older than me. I believe he's in his twenties. He is single..." I think, he said he doesn't mess around when he's in a relationship. " I'm not sure when or if I will see him again." She sat in silence for a few minutes. While she did that I was a bag of nerves. Why wasn't she saying anything?

"Well if things were going that great, why didn't you both agree to try to see each other?"

"She gave him her number. Has he called yet Faith?" I pushed my food around my plate.

"No not yet..." I hoped they didn't push the subject because I wasn't sure of what to think. How can I explain to my mother that I think I have been in so many words, stood up. It's embarrassing. God maybe Jax was right as much as I hated to say it, maybe there wasn't anyone good enough for me that I actually liked.

The rest of the dinner was full of easy chatter. I could tell my mom was so estatic that I had a female friend. She laughed and told us random tidbits about the past. It's been awhile since I seen her this relaxed. She told Donna multiple times to please come again. I knew she was sincere. I'm ashamed to say I decided to hide from her. I knew she figured there was more to the Josh thing than I was saying. I managed to avoid my mom until it was time for her to go to work. I didn't want to talk about it, it was becoming very obvious that he wasn't going to call and i felt as heartbroken as if we'd been actually together.

I spent the rest of the night reading,it was the only way I could keep I could keep my mind at bay. After I finished four chapters, I took a shower and went to bed. The annoying ringing of my alarm clock woke me up. I kept hitting the snooze button but the damn thing wouldn't shut off. Wait that's not my alarm, it's my phone. I cleared my throat, trying to figure out who was calling me at this time of night. My first thoughts went immediately to my mom, maybe something was wrong. I quickly hit the answer.

"Hello,"

"Hey sunshine, I'm sorry did I wake you?" My stomach clenched up at the sound of his voice. I looked at the clock, it was after midnight.

"I went to bed kind of early." I tried to keep the distain out of my voice. He had waited almost 24 hours to call me, well 18.

"I'm sorry it took so long, we got here and shit was kind of nuts, but nothing we can't handle. How was your day?" "Truthfully tiring, I spent all day waiting for this guy to call then he didn't call." He gave me a deep laugh.

"You're going to have my balls for not calling huh? I'm serious though, were all just now getting settled in some run down shit hole. I really did want to call was just busy. Hey I have a question though."

"Okay what's up?"

"Did something happen with you and Kyle? Happy's been giving him a ton of shit. So I was wondering." I stayed silent for a few moments, unsure of what to say. I didn't want to get him involved in mine and Kyle's drama so maybe I'll only tell him just enough to satisfy the curiosity.

"Are you still there?" I let out a dramatic sigh.

"Oh no Josh I've wasted away to nothing. " I let out a giggle.

"Alright, laugh at my expense. I'm still waiting on an answer."

"We had a slight altercation. Happy walked in just as it was ending."

"So when you say slight altercation, what exactly is slight in your terms cause I think Happy is ready to add another smiley face." He said with a laugh.

"Well Happy didn't see or hear anything actually just walked in on the aftermath. Kyle was just talking his shit." He was quiet for a minute, thinking over his thoughts.

"There's something you're not telling me, it must be bad." I sighed.

"He accused me of bouncing from member to member. He thought Jax and I were sleeping together because we were so close. Also said some you're mine shit that's all. I smacked him so tell Hap to cool it."

"Like he's going to listen to me. I'm really sorry I didn't call earlier Faith. It's weird because you've been on my mind all day and yet every time I could spare a moment something happened or the guys were getting together. Just know that I thought of you often."

"That's cute Josh, honestly it's nice to hear. I missed you today too. I also cussed you out in my head because I thought you stood me up or maybe you do have an old lady." He laughed and I imagined him giving me his goofy grin on the other side of the phone.

"No old lady, girlfriend or girl I constantly fuck I promise."

I couldn't help but smile at his words. He knew just what to say to give me the right reassurance.

"You know I bet we'd make a really cute couple if only you lived closer." I heard him exhale and at first I thought I said something wrong but when I heard him inhale I realized he was smoking a cigarette.

"Hey who says we can't be a cute couple still?"

"Long distance relationships are horrible and not for me."

"We'll see. Alright sunshine I'm going to go to sleep you need too as well." I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"I guess, goodnight Josh."

"Good night baby doll."

Meanwhile the next morning in Nevada...

Josh leaned up against the bar sipping on his coffee. He was a smart man, he always brought an XL thermal cup with him because firstly you never know if the places you end up where going to have coffee cups; secondly because he needed a big cup of coffee to deal with all of the bullshit his life brought him on a daily basis. He scanned the naked and seemingly everywhere crowd of people searching for one person. Luck seemed to be in his favor because said person just happened to walk out from the back. He was going to learn his damn lesson today and that was final.

"Hey man there's a fresh pot of coffee over there." Kyle looked at him and smirked. He motioned towards his coffee cup.

"Did you leave any left?" He sort of chuckled. His laugh was really pissing Josh off. He gave him a smirk back.

"Yeah I started a whole new pot, best believe I got my two cups." Kyle walked to the coffee pot, made him a tiny styrofoam glass of coffee. That's a tease, yeah now he hated Kyle even more. What kind of man needed that small of coffee?

"So uh Kyle, I need to say something to ya brother." Kyle walked next to him, slowly sipping out of his bitch cup.

"What's up brother?"

"I'm uh sorry about Faith, I didn't know she was your old lady. It was disrespectful as fuck of me to swoop in on her and not check around first." Kyle laughed and patted Josh on the back. Josh was thinking just how much he wanted to break everyone of the fingers on his hand. That way he knew they would never land on Luanne again.

"Nah man you're good. She's not my old lady or nothing, just a girl I fuck on the regular. She's still mine though so thanks for the consideration." Josh's jaw twitched. Oh yeah he was going to enjoy this.

"Yeah you know she was talking to me about her panties and shit. Maybe you should check her back in line." Here it was, the set up for the fall. Kyle's jaw tensed and he turned towards Josh, his bitch cup clenched in hand. Josh easily sat his cup on the bar... Waiting just waiting for the right moment.

"Oh you better believe I will. She acts like a goddamn slut sometimes. She needs some fucking sense knocked into her." There it was. What he was waiting for.

"Oh yeah, you know I'm glad we had this talk. Since we're being so open, I have something else to say..."

"What's that man?"

As soon as he turned his face all the way to face Josh, he was met with a right hook. He stumbled backwards and Josh cleared the distance and hit him again and again this time with the left hand. When Kyle stumbled to the ground, Josh jumped ontop of him and just kept repeatedly punching him, blood covered Kyle's face and Josh's clothes and fists. Tig started to pull him off but Josh struggled free, he leaned down close enough so only Kyle could hear.

"She's mine you no good piece of shit, if I ever here you talking to her or fucking disrespecting her like you just did," Josh let out a venomous laugh, "you come near her again...I'll kill ya." This time when Tig yanked him, he let go. He stood up with his hands in the air. Clay came charging out of the back and jumped in between the two of them.

"What the fuck is going on?! Don't you all rush at once!" Kyle stood up, his eye swollen shut and his lip clearly busted open.

"He jumped me. I don't fucking know!" He gargled out. Clay turned to face Kyle.

"This is twice you've gotten your ass handed to you by one of the Samtac guys. What the fuck have you done to the boys from Tacoma?" Happy came over and placed his hand on Josh's shoulder, with a shit eating smile on his face.

"It's because us boys from Tacoma are a rare breed. We're done violent motherfuckers, but we hold our values strongly." Josh said. You could tell there was more to the story just from how venomous he sounded .

"And that's the fucking truth." Happy said as he patted Josh's shoulder.
