Chapter 10
The next day, we are back at the clubhouse and that same croweater is there. I am sitting at the bar with Lyla and she asks me "What's the deal with that croweater?" I look at her and tell her, "She told me yesterday that she was Juice's side piece. He confronted her and she had the nerve to tell him that I was lying. Rat backed me up though." I tell her. "That's Ima. She works at the studio with me. Always trying to start shit and hitting on the guys." Lyla tells me. The guys are in church so I ask "Wanna step outside and get some air?" she nods and we head outside. After about a half hour, we walk back in and see that the guys are out of church. I see Juice standing over to the side and Ima is hanging all over him and he's not doing anything about it. Not paying her attention but not shrugging her off either. "I think it's time for me to go." I tell Lyla and back out the door. We aren't that far from our house so I start walking.
By the time that I walk in the door, the tears have started falling. How did I ever let myself believe I would be enough. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. I go the the bedroom, and start packing my things back up and putting them in the car. About the time I get the last bag in the car, Juice is pulling in the driveway. "Hey, are you leaving? Why?" he asked, getting off his bike and walking towards me. "I think it's better." I tell him as I start to open my car door. "Why? Did I do something?" he asked. "I came back into the clubhouse after you got out of church and Ima was hanging all over you. It's okay. Just go back and have fun." I tell him. He shuts my car door and pins me to the car with his body. "If you would have stuck around, you would have seen me tell her to fuck off before looking all over for you." he says. I still haven't made eye contact with him. "Baby look at me." he says tilting my head up. I finally look at him and he says "I love you. You are the only one that I want and I promise that I will never cheat on you. Please believe me baby. I need you." he tells me. I start to sob and he pulls me closer and kissing the top of my head. "I love you Juice but I'm not enough for you." I tell him. "Yeah, you are. Please don't think that you aren't." he says. "Please stay." he almost begs. I nod and he kisses me softly. "I love you Juice." I tell him. He pulls me closer before helping me take my bags back inside.
Later that night, we lay down in bed and he pulls me closer to him and I have my back to him. He starts kissing my neck and shoulder and I snuggle back into him closer. Turning in his arms, he looks me in the eyes and just gazes at me while caressing my cheek. I feel the tears start again and he pulls me to his chest and just holds me.
I get up the next morning and I hear Juice on the phone with Jax. "Man, she's gotta go. I almost lost my wife because of that cunt...Yeah, appreciate it brother...Thanks." he says before ending the call. "Who was that?" I asked, pouring my coffee. "Jax. I called him about getting rid of Ima. She's been causing problems with him and Tara too. She's even tried to come between Opie and Lyla." he tells me and I just shake my head. "Okay." is all I say. He walks over to me and takes the cup from my hands. "Are we okay?" he asked. "Yeah, Juice. We are." I tell him as I put my arms around his waist and he pulls me to him. So are you still wanting to try for a baby?" he asked. "Yeah Juice. I do. I'm sorry I flipped out. I guess I'm still working through some shit and seeing Ima all over you just made it worse." I tell him. "I don't want anyone but you baby." he tells me again. "I know. I love you." I say.
