"Are you going to be there?" she asked Jax.

"If you want me to be there I will be." he replied.

She looked at her dad again and then back to Jax.

"I'll go see him and no you don't have to be there." she said.

"Are you sure babygirl?" Happy asked.

"Yeah. I'm sure dad." she said.

"Okay well then I need to tell you a couple of things that Kozik told me. He said that he thinks that's why he got with all those girls. His body was craving the drugs even though he had never had any. I guess that's why it was so easy to get him to take them that first time. Kozik seems to think that something was out of whack in his body and when your dad and I messed up and did what we did he liked it. Too much so. It was like a drug to him."

"So does that mean if he doesn't do drugs he is going to revert back to whoring around?" Happy asked.

"I don't know. I mean I don't think so Happy. He loves Angelica and if the two of them were actually together I know he wouldn't."
"So you are saying she would be his drug then? I don't know if I like the idea of that Jax." Happy said.

"Do I get a say in this?" Angelica asked.

Both Happy and Jax looked over at her and Jax said , "Of course darling. You are the only one who does have the choice."

"Well for right now I am going to see him. From there I will talk to him and make my decision okay?"

"That's fine." Jax said.

"Okay babygirl." Happy said not wanting to hurt her anymore.

"So when do you want to go?" she asked Jax.

"When you want to."

"Okay, well let me get ready first." she said smiling and ran to her room.

"What the hell was wrong with what she was wearing?" Happy asked out loud.

Jax just chuckled. He knew if he was right then Angelica was making herself look even better for his son.

She got up to her room and Jade was still there. She went in and explained everything to her.

"So you are going to dress yourself up then?" Jade asked.

"Jade, I love your brother with everything in me. If I can help him and maybe get him back then I will do anything."

"Just be careful. I love my brother but I love you too Angelica."

"I know. Look help me out okay?"

"Yeah, let's get busy." the both of them walked to Angelica's closet.

She walked down the stairs ready to go see the love of her life. Yeah, she was still angry about certain things but it did make sense to her after Jax explained what Kozik said. She felt a little nervous but then finally made it back to Jax and her dad.

"I'm ready." she said and both Jax and Happy turned to her.

"Oh baby, You look beautiful." Happy said smiling at her.

"Thanks daddy. Do you think Abel will like it?" she asked Jax.

"Darling, he is going to love it."

Then the two of them walked out to Jax's bike. She got on the back and to her it was like being on the back of Abel's. They even smelled the same way. Like cigarettes, leather and wind.

Jade walked back down the stairs and she heard Happy and Sonny talking. She didn't want to eavesdrop but she overheard her name. So she stopped to listen.

"Dad, do you think Jade will ever feel the same for me as I do for her?"

"Son, she is so wrapped up in her college right now. Just give her a chance to finish and she will be open to you better."
"I would never do anything to stop her from getting her degree dad. I just want to show her how much I love her. She deserves to be treated like a queen."

Happy chuckled. "Well she is the princess of Samcro." he said.

"You know what I mean dad."

"I think she would be a fool not to give you a chance Sonny and Jax Teller didn't raise any fools."

"Thanks dad." he said then Jade moved along knowing that one of them could walk around the corner to where she was at. She watched as Sonny went out the door.

"You can come down now." she heard.

"Hi." she said feeling embarrassed.

"So you know now how my son feels about you. I know you are not ready for that yet sweetheart but maybe when you are you might at least give him a chance." Happy said.

"Happy, I am ready. I would love to give Sonny a chance. He knows how much my education means to me so I don't think that will be a problem."

"So are you going to tell him?"

"Should I? I mean I don't want to look trampy or forward."

"There is no way you could look like that to him. Tell him." he said.

Jade nodded her head and then left the house. She was walking along trying to figure out a way that she was ready to at least date when she stumbled upon him at the clubhouse.

Sitting on the picnic table he was deep in thought.

"Hey, what'cha thinking about?" she asked as she sat down beside him.

He blushed, "Not much really."

"Oh, well I was kind of hoping you were trying to figure out a way to ask me out." she said.

His head jerked up and he looked at her. She was smiling.

"I uh.. you're not joking are you?" he asked hesitantly.

"No, Sonny I would love to go out with you." she said.

He smiled and stood up. Picking her up in his arms he swung her around.

"Do you know how long I've wanted those words to come out of your mouth?" he asked.

She nodded and giggled.

"Well we are here. Are you sure you don't want me to be there with you?" Jax said.

"I'm sure." she said trying to fix her hair and shifting her clothes.

"You look beautiful Angelica." he said to her. He kissed her on the forehead and she turned to walk into the house.

"Hey you. So you decided to come." Kozik said to her smiling.

"Yes. Where is Abel?"

"He's in his room. I'll go get him."

"Thanks." she said as she sat down on the couch.

She heard his footsteps and felt his presence when he came into the room. She was scared to turn around.

"Hey." she heard.

She finally turned to his voice. "Hi. How are you feeling?" she asked.

"I feel really good right now. You look beautiful." he said.

"Thanks. "

"There is so much I want to say to you." he said.

"We have time." she said and he sat down beside her.
