Chapter 7
After spending the entire night making love, we finally dozed off sometime around dawn. After getting a couple of hours sleep, we get up and dressed and head out to the main room. I walk over to one of the tables where Lyla was sitting and took the seat next to her. One of the croweaters brings me a cup of coffee and I thank her. A few minutes later, Opie and Juice come over and sit with us. Opie looks at my neck and starts laughing. "Brother, are you going for a record or something?" he asked. I looked at him and then at Juice who was grinning like the cat that ate the canary. "Juice? Please tell me you didn't mark me again?" I asked. He just starts laughing and I lightly smack his chest. "You know I can't get a job looking like this." I tell him. "Then don't worry about it for a while. I can take care of us." he tells me. I just look at him. "Look, just enjoy being a wife for a while. If you want a job, maybe Gemma can use some help in the office so that we can keep you close." he says. Gemma hears this and walks over and says "I could use someone to run the office for me. Job's yours if you want it." I look up at her and say "Really? Thanks Gemma." She pats my shoulder and says "This way I can spend more time with my grandbabies." Juice pulls me into his side and kisses my temple and says "See, problem solved." I just shake my head.
A couple of months have gone by and things have been running smoothly with the club, my job, and me and Juice. I haven't heard from my ex or my ex best friend and that's a blessing. Or so I thought. I was in the office, entering invoices when I hear a voice at the door of the office. "Excuse me." he says. I know that voice. "Jason?" I say as I turn towards the door and see my ex standing there. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "You thought I wouldn't find you? Can we talk?" he asked. "No we can't. Unless you need your car fixed you need to leave." I tell him and go back to the invoices. "I'm not leaving until you talk to me." he says. I get up and walk out of the office so that I am in clear view of the guys. "Fine. Talk." I say. Juice and Opie are out doing repos so I look around to see which of the guys are still around. Happy is in one of the bays, watching and so is Chibs. Good. "I came to take you home." he says. "Jason, I told you over the phone I am not going home. I have a home here. A life here. A husband here." I tell him hoping he will get the hint. "I don't care. Come home. You always come back to me." he said as he reaches and grabs my arm. Before anything else can be said, Happy walks over. "This guy bothering you Gabby?" Jason pulls me closer to him and before I could answer, Happy has his gun pointed at Jason's head telling him "Let her go or I put a bullet in your fucking skull." Jason lets go of my arm. "I'm just taking what's mine." Jason says. "Seeing as she's married to my brother, don't think she's yours to take." Happy says as Chibs comes over to check on me. "Gabby, you can't seriously think that you belong here." he says. "Actually I know I belong here. This is my family. These two men here are my brothers and actually care about me. You need to leave and go back home. Because if you come near me again? I won't stop him from pulling that trigger." Jason looks at me shocked before walking to his car and leaving. "You okay?" Happy asked me. "Yeah. Thanks." I tell him.
A little later, I am back in the office and Juice comes in to see me and turn the repo list in. "Hey, can we talk a minute?" I asked. "Yeah babe. What's up?" he asked, confused. "I want you to hear this from me. Jason showed up here today wanting to talk. I stepped outside so that Happy and Chibs could see us and he grabbed my arm, wanting me to go with him. I told him I belong here and it took Happy putting a gun to his head to get him to let me go and leave but I don't think that will be the last that we see of him. I'm telling you this because you said you didn't want any secrets." I say. "Well, until we are sure he's gone, you don't go anywhere without a patch. Okay?" he responds and I nod my okay.
Walking into the clubhouse, we walk to the bar and Juice tells Happy, "Thanks for watching out for my Old Lady." Happy patted his shoulder and said "No problem brother." before going back to his beer. Jax walks by and Chibs had filled him in on what was going on. "Can you give us some info on him? We need to know what we are dealing with if he does come back." Jax says. "Yeah, sure." I tell him. Getting a pad and pen I start writing down everything I can think of. My phone rings and it's Missy. "What Missy?" I ask as I answer my phone. "Have you heard from Jason?" she asked. "Yeah, he came by today. Why?" I asked. "You need to protect yourself. He's coming after you and said if you won't come back, he'll bring you back in a body bag." she tells me. "Fuck. I'm putting you on speaker. I need you to tell my husband and his brothers what Jason told you." I put the phone on speaker and she starts telling them about how Jason said he was coming for me and that he planned on getting me alone and killing me if I didn't agree to come back with him. She gave them details that he has let slip to her when he was drunk. After getting off the phone, Juice tells me, "You are on lockdown here until we find this prick." I just nod my head and wrap my arms around Juice, pulling him as close as I can. Juice pulls me off to the hallway to talk privately. "I won't let him hurt you. I promise." he tells me. "I know. Juice?" I say and he looks at me. "I love you." I tell him. I want him to hear it incase something does happen to me. "I love you too baby." It was the first time that we had said those little words but we meant them more than anything.
