Chapter 7
Happy walks into the warehouse where there are three men hanging. After he walks in, Jax puts a bullet in one's head while Tig puts a bullet in the other. Happy walks up to the one that was beating me and gets in his face. "You hurt my fucking wife." Happy seethes. "No one hurts my wife." he says. "Your wife didn't think you were coming for her. Begged me to kill her. That tells me that things aren't so happy at home." the man says. "I will always come for my wife. I will kill for my wife. And you're up first." Happy says before he tortures my captor.
Once everything is said and done and the bodies are buried, Happy walks back into the clubhouse. Walking into my dorm, Gemma is still sitting beside my bed. "Her pain meds kicked in." Gemma tells him. "I'm gonna shower real fast." Happy tells her. "I'll stay until you get out." Gemma says. He heads to his dorm and goes to close the door. "Hey Happy. Want some company baby?" the croweater that Happy hooked up with on our wedding night asks. "No I don't. We're done." he says before shutting the door in her face. Getting his shower, he walks back across the hall and walks in the door in nothing but a pair of basketball shorts, Gemma gets up and he kisses her cheek. "Thanks Mom." he says. She nods and heads out the door. Happy pulls off his shorts, leaving him in his boxers and climbs in bed with me. I have my back to him and he puts his arms around me and pulls me to him. Whispering in my ear, he says "Goodnight Little Girl."
Waking up the next morning, I am snuggled into Happy's chest and his arms are around me. I don't move. I just lay there. I feel him kiss the top of my head and say "Morning babe." I don't say anything. He tilts my head up to look at him and asks "How are you feeling?" I pull away from him and say "Sore but I'm fine." I tell him and go to get up but I wince. He sits up immediately and puts his arms around me. "Hey. It's okay." he says. "What do you need baby?" he asks. "I don't need anything. Happy, why did you come for me? Why didn't you just leave me there?" I ask. "Because you're my wife." he says. "Only on paper. We're not together Happy. Why won't you just leave it alone. I wanted to fucking die there. I wanted them to kill me. It's the only way for us to be out of this." I tell him. "I don't want out." he whispers. "You don't want in it." I tell him. "Yeah, I do." he says. "Happy, you've done nothing but hook up with croweaters since literally the minute we got married. Why now? Because you feel guilty that I got taken? Well, don't. Because it was because of my dad that I was taken. My dad beat me and my dad screwed that guy over and that's why they took me. Not because of you. All I am is a piece of property. That's all I've been since I was fourteen years old. You don't need used up pussy. Just go. Please. I'll find a way out of this. I'll find a way to get you out of this marriage and me still not be forced to testify." I tell him. "I don't want a divorce. I want to make this work. At first I didn't but, shit, now? Now, I want to try." he says and I look at him. "And what if I can't give you what you need? What if I can't be what you need?" I ask. "Stay by my side and everything else will fall into place babe. Please?" he asks. I move to lay back down and he helps me. Laying back down next to me, I pull him to move closer to me and I say "A day at a time." Tilting my head up, he kisses me softly and says "Fair enough baby." I look at him a minute and ask "Will you do something for me?" He looks at me and says "Anything." Lowering my head, I ask "Kiss me? Like you should have when we got married?" He smiles softly and cups my face. Kissing me softly, he deepens the kiss it's slow and passionate. When we separate, he says "You're mine little girl and I'm yours. When you're ready, I want you to wear my crow." he says and I nod. "When you do, I want you to mark me too." he says and I look at him shocked. Kissing me one more time, he says "Get some rest babe. When we get up, we're going home and we're unpacking your things in our room. No more guest room bull shit." he tells me. "Okay." I say. I snuggle closer to him and before I know it, I doze back off.
