20.
It had been a month since Angelica went to see Abel. She did get to talk to him over the phone and he seem to really be on track. She just hoped so. She kept busy with school and helping Jade with her feelings on Sonny. They had been seeing each other on the weekends when they went home. They had just got back to their apartment for school the next day. The holidays were going to be coming up and she was getting excited. She was going to finally be able to see Abel. Kozik felt that he would be good. As long as he kept his momentum up.
"Hey you, what has that smile on your face?" Jade asked as she walked into the living room..
"I can't wait for the next two weeks to go by."
"What for?"
"I get to see Abel. Kozik said he should be good and is letting him come home for the holidays."
"That's great Angelica."
"I'm surprised you didn't know."
"Well I've been spending all my free time with Sonny. I think that I've fallen in love with him Angelica. I'm just scared. I thought I was in love with Harry and then I find that I'm not. I don't want to go through that with Sonny."
"I get that. Look you two should sit down and talk about this. Maybe he can help you figure it out."
"But I don't want to hurt him Angelica."
"If you don't love him it's going to hurt no matter what, but if you do, then he is going to be on cloud nine." Angelica said smiling.
"I'll think about it. So what do you have planned for my brother?"
"Well, talking about being scared, I am terrified."
"Why?"
"Well I know that he promised no more women Jade, but what if I can't please him? I've never had sex before what if I do it all wrong?"
"Well I would love to help you there but I am also a novice. But maybe you should talk to your mom. She would help you and she's super cool."
"Maybe." she said but thought of someone better.
"Well I'm going to crash. I'm tired and school will come early tomorrow." Jade said.
"Goodnight Jade."
"Goodnight."
Abel sat on his bed after his regular workout. He had to admit that the workouts were doing wonders for him. Kept him fit and he hoped that Angelica thought he was sexier now. He had never been this buff before. His dad was this way and he knew the ladies loved it. He thought about all the women he had been with and felt sick that he had done that to his girl. But he was scared also. He wanted that kind of relationship with Angelica but he didn't want to push her. He tried to come up with a way to make sure she wasn't scared.
Sonny sat on the sofa thinking about Jade. He knew she was the one for him, he just hoped she truly felt the same way. He wondered if maybe she needed to date others to make sure she was going to be happy with him. He saw his mom walk in the room so he decided to ask her opinion.
"I think that you should let her decide what she needs to do Sonny. You can't make decisions for her."
"I know mom, I just want to make sure she loves me the way I love her."
"I get that baby, I do. But maybe you two should just talk."
Sonny nodded his head and then left for his room. Once there he took out his cell.
"I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you and can't wait to see your beautiful face again." he texted.
Jade had just lay down in her bed when she heard her phone go off.
"I'm thinking of you too. I have to admit I was concerned that I might have led you on Sonny. But I've done a lot of thinking and I'm not. I love you Sonny Lowman." she texted back.
Sonny looked at his phone when he heard it buzz. As he read at first he was worried then by the end he had a smile on his face that no one could shake off. "She loves me." he whispered to himself. He pulled out his phone once again. "I love you too Jade, more than you will ever know." he said.
"So it's time. I think that you have done very well Abel. I believe that you can trust yourself now to stay away from the things you know you can't have." Kozik said as he patted Abel's back. The two of them walked out to meet Jax as he pulled up on his Dyna.
"Hey dad." he said.
"Abel, is that you?" Jax asked teasing him.
"Yep, I think now I can give you a run for your money old man." Abel said laughing as he flexed the muscle in his arms.
"I do believe you just might." Jax said as he smiled proudly at him. "You ready to go home? Mom is waiting gnawing on her fingernails."
Abel laughed. "Oh yeah." he said. He turned to Kozik once again. "Thanks brother, you have no idea what this has meant to me."
"Actually I do. Remember I've been in your shoes." Kozik said.
"Yeah."
Then they all three cranked up their bikes and rode home.
"Dad, can I talk to you a moment please?"
"Sure babygirl."
"I know this may seem strange to ask you but you and Jax made the decision to help Abel. I mean yeah it kind of backfired but I need to know what I can do to help him. I need to be there for him."
"If I'm not mistaken you are asking me how to have sex with Abel?" Happy asked trying to wrap his head around this. He didn't want to make his daughter feel uncomfortable about coming to him and he was actually really proud she did. So he sat her down and explained things to her from a man's point of perspective.
"Thank you daddy." she said as she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
"Babygirl?"
"Yes daddy?"
"I love you and I'm proud that you came to me for this."
"I figured you were the best one to ask since you are a man." she said blushing.
"Yeah, I guess so. Well good luck and remember I love you."
"If I didn't know that before we talked I definitely know now." she said smiling. She then went up and took a shower. She wanted to be fresh when she put her plan into motion. She looked in the mirror and knew she was ready.
"Wow Abel, you look more like your dad now then ever. I love you and know that we are all here for you." Tara said hugging Abel.
"Thank you mom. You have no idea how proud I am that you are my mom."
Tara smiled with happiness as her husband pulled her into his arms.
"Did you hear that Jax?" she whispered into his ear.
"Yeah baby. And it's true. You are his mom in every way that really matters." he said.
"Thank you Jackson Teller for giving me two beautiful sons and one gorgeous daughter."
