Chapter 2
I spend the rest of the day thinking about it and decide that I won't call him. If he regrets it then fine. But I can't go to the clubhouse anymore because he's a member, it's his clubhouse before it's mine. So, I decide to order a pizza and just stay closed up in the house. I have the week off for vacation so I don't have to leave the house if I don't want to. I turn on Netflix and start binge watching one of the shows. I pick up a piece of pizza when I hear a bike pull into my driveway. Looking out the window, thinking it might be my dad, I see Juice. Great. I take a bite of my pizza when I hear him knock on the door. I ignore him hoping he will go away but he knocks again. "I know you're in there Sara." he says and I finally get up and go to the door. Opening the door, he's standing there with his hands in the pockets of his kutte and looking down at his feet. "What do you want, Juice? I'm not really up for playing whore again." I say irritatedly. He looks at me shocked "Whore? Sara…" he starts and I cut him off. "Look, I get it. We hooked up and you couldn't get out of here fast enough. Don't worry about it." I say and try to close the door but he blocks it and says "Sara, I never thought you were a whore. I panicked." he said and I let go of the door. "Panicked? Why?" I asked crossing my arms waiting to hear this. "I felt something with that kiss. I know you did too but when I was laying there with you laying on my chest, it felt right, Sara. But I got scared that you didn't feel that way. I didn't plan on sleeping with you but then it happened and I have not been able to stop thinking. My brain won't shut off. I keep seeing myself…" I cut him off "having sex with me." I finish and he says "Holding you. I keep seeing myself holding you." he says. I uncross my arms pull him in for a hug. He holds me tight and I feel a tear hit my bare shoulder. Pulling his face to look at me I take his hand and lead him inside and to the couch. He sits down and I sit beside him and curl into his side. Neither of us saying anything else for a while.
After a little while, I finally speak. "What do we do?" I asked. He doesn't answer for a couple of minutes but then I hear him "I want to be with you." he says. I sit up and look at him. "Juice, I don't want to just hook up. I can't do friends with benefits." I tell him. "That's not what I mean. I want to see where things go with us. I have liked you for a while." he says. "Really? I'd like that Juice but if we do this, you are with me and only me. I don't believe that fucking run rule." I tell him. "I don't share either. I promise I won't mess this up." he says. I kiss him softly and snuggle back into his side. I grab the remote and start Netflix back up. He gets up and gets two more beers out of the fridge and sits back down with me. "When do you go back to work?" he asked. "Not until Monday. I had some vacation time." I tell him. "Good. I want to spend as much time as possible with you." I smile at him and kiss his lips softly.
We spend the rest of the evening, watching Netflix and talking. I must have dozed off because I feel him picking me up and carrying me to bed. He lays me down on the bed and covers me up. "Juice?" I say. "Yeah Sweetheart." he says "Stay?" I say. He gets undressed down to his boxer briefs and climbs into bed. I lay my head on his chest and he wraps his arms around me. I feel him rubbing my hip with his thumb and I hear him say "Goodnight Sweetheart." I smile and say "Good night Juice."
I wake up the next morning in bed alone. For a minute I thought he bolted again but then I smell bacon cooking. I get up and walk into the kitchen to see him with his low hanging jeans and no shirt, standing at the stove making breakfast. I lean against the door watching thinking he doesn't know I'm there until he asked "You not gonna kiss me good morning?" and he turns around and smiles at me. Walking over, he puts his arm around my waist, pulling me to him and kisses me softly. "Good morning beautiful." he says. "Good morning Juan." I say. I used to call him Juan all the time when it was just us hanging out. He looks back at me and smile wide at the use of his real name. He plates our food and I pour two glasses of orange juice and we sit at the table and eat. "What do you have planned today?" I asked. "Nothing unless the club calls. You?" he asked. "I was thinking if you didn't have anything going on, we could go for a ride? We haven't done that in a long time." I say and he winks and says "That's a plan." We finish eating in silence before we decide to shower, together of course, and then head out to the bike to go for a ride.
As we pass the Welcome to Charming sign, I feel Juice intertwine his fingers with mine that are wrapped around his stomach. I feel like this is going to be a good day. We ride around for a while and he pulls up outside of a little diner. The one my dad takes me to sometimes. We get off the bike and the intertwines our fingers again and we walk into the diner. Sitting down, he sits across from me and we order our food. While we are waiting he asked "Are you wanting to let everyone know about us?" I looked at him confused and asked "Why wouldn't I?" He smiled and said "I was hoping you would want people to know. I care about you, a lot." I lean across the table and he meets me and I kiss him softly. Our food comes and we talk while we eat and I forgot how much I loved listening to him. Once we are done eating, he pays and we walk back out to the bike. I put my helmet on and before he gets on, he pulls me to him and kisses me. "Where to now?" he asked. "Maybe home for a little alone time?" I asked. "Let's go." he says.
We pull up in my driveway and get off the bike. Walking into the house, we take off our shoes and sit on the couch together. We turn on a movie and are watching when I feel his hand riding up under the edge of my shirt. He's not trying to pull it up, just rubbing my bare side. Finally I can't handle it anymore and I sit up and straddle him. I start to kiss him and he pulls back smirking. I pull my shirt up over my head and toss it in the floor. I pull his shirt up and he allows me to pull it over his head. I toss it to the side as well. He pulls me down to kiss me again and I start undoing his belt buckle and he lays me down on my back and starts undoing my pants. He stands and start taking his pants and boxer briefs off while I pull off my pants and panties, leaving me in my bra. I hovers over me and I take my bra off. I am not skinny by any means but I am not fat either. "Fucking sexy." he says before kissing me roughly before he enters me slowly. He thrusts in and out slowly, never breaking the kiss. Once we both reach out release, he lays beside me and pulls me to him and pulls the blanket over us and just holds me. "I love you Sara." I hear him say. I look up at him and smile, saying, "I love you too Juan Carlos."
We get up and head to the bedroom. Climbing into bed, Juice pulls me to him and turns Netflix back on. We lay there, still naked and snuggle until we fall asleep. Waking up the next morning, I have my back to Juice but I feel him agaist my back with his arms around me. I can't help but smile. After laying there for a while, I feel him softly kiss my shoulder. "Good morning baby." he says. Turning in his arms and kissing him softly, I say "Good morning." We lay there a couple of more minutes, just holding each other until his phone rings. He turns over and grabs his phone but never letting go of me. He talks for a couple of minutes and then hangs up. "I gotta head to the clubhouse." he says. "Okay. I think I might head that way and see Daddy a minute. Is that okay?" I asked not really sure if he was ready for everyone to see us together yet. "Why wouldn't It be? Wanna ride in with me? We just have church." he asked. "I'd like that." I say.
Pulling up to the lot, I get off the bike and he gets off after me. He intertwines our fingers and we walk into the clubhouse. As we walk in, everyone looks at us and they all have shit eating grins on their faces. He kisses my temple and heads into church with the rest of the guys. Gemma pulls me out to her office and sits me down. "I take it you talked to him?" she asked. "Not exactly. He showed up at my house and explained why he left." I said. "What was his reason?" she asked. "He panicked. He said everything felt right and he was scared that I didn't feel the same way." I tell her. "And I take it, by how you walked in, that you do?" she asked. "I do Gemma. He told me he loves me." I say, blushing a little. "And I love him." I finish. "I'm happy for you baby." I smile and before we can say anything, Juice sticks his head in the door, "You ready to go baby?" he asked. "Ready when you are." I say, getting up and hugging Gemma goodbye before taking my spot on the back of his bike.
We pull up to an apartment building and get off the bike. Walking up the stairs, he unlocks the door and we walk inside. His apartment is immaculately clean. We take our shoes off at the door and walk over to the couch. Sitting down, I asked him, "How long have you lived here?" He smiles and says "Almost a year. My lease renews in a couple of weeks but I hope to be able to get a house someday." Smiling I say. "Can I ask you something?" He looks at me and nods for me to ask. "Instead of renewing your lease, why not move in with me?" I asked and look at him a little worried. "Are you sure, baby? We just got together. I don't want you to feel like you have to take me in." he says. "I'm sure, Juice. We have been spending most of our time together anyway. We know each other's habits and quirks already." I say. He looks at me for a minute and says "If you're sure." I straddle his lap and kiss him and say "I am positive." But of course me sitting on his lap, is code for 'pick me up and carry me to bed' for him.
