Hi all! So not even gonna come up with an excuse except life got in the way. Not sure when the next chapter will be up cause honestly I'm not sure if anyone is even still interested in this story anymore. Please review if you are cause it would really suck to put so much time and energy into something if no one is interested! In saying that I love Gabby and Joe and would love to continue! This has only been edited by me which isn't saying much. I can never catch all my mistakes. So sorry in advance for any mistakes! Please read and review! Love you all! :)

Chapter 6

Gabby held Joe's hand tightly as they entered the tattoo place looked really dirty and seedy, but Joe assured her that the place was legit. There were pictures of snakes and skulls and more that littered the walls. She assumed it was the work of the artists in the shop. She grimaced as a greasy bald man walked through the door and sat in one of the chairs in the small waiting area.

"Are you sure this place is sanitary?" Gabby asked looking around in disgust.

"Baby, don't worry. This place looks dirty but I promise it's clean. Big Bubba has done all my tats and is one of the best in the city."

Gabby looked skeptical, "Big Bubba?"

"Somebody sayin' my name?" A rough voice rang through the air.

Gabby spun around and gasped at the pure size of the man before her. She now realized where the name Big Bubba came from.

"Hey man," Joe stepped up to him and they shared a man type hug.

"Who's this pretty lady?"

"This is my girlfriend Gabby," Joe placed a hand on Gabby's lower back.

"What's a girl that looks like you doing with a guy that looks like him?" Bubba said but the small upturn of his mouth showed he was kidding. Gabby chuckled softly and looked down at the floor.

"He looks big but he's just a teddy bear," Joe said into her ear. Bubba lead the two of them into a small room in the back of the shop. There was a pale green chair sitting in the middle of the room. Kind of like a dentist chair. Joe hopped up on it as Gabby sat in a chair next to it.

"So Joey, what will it be this time? I see your neck healed up nicely," Bubba said sitting down in the chair on the opposite side.

Joe rubbed the side of his neck where his most recent tattoo was, "yeah it's all good. I had an idea of what I wanted. I drew up a rough sketch."

"I thought you didn't know what you wanted?" Gabby questioned. Joe handed Bubba a folded up piece of paper he had retrieved from his pocket.

Bubba glanced down at the paper for a moment with a concentrated look on his face before nodding and saying, "give me a couple minutes. I think I can come up with something sweet."

Gabby stood and hopped up on the seat next to Joe. He immediately wrapped an arm around her and pulled her against him.

"I thought you didn't know what you wanted?" Gabby repeated turning her body to face him. Joe grabbed a strand of her hair and began to swirl it around his finger.

"I wasn't completely sure, but had an idea," Joe smirked and moved to kiss her neck.

"Well? What is it? How come you never told me?"

Joe just moved from her neck to her lips. Gabby kissed him back as his hand gripped the back of her neck.

"Well, well, well," a rough voiced that sounded like he had been smoking since birth drawled out.

Gabby pulled back and turned red. She frowned seeing the hard look in Joe's eyes once he saw the man who was standing there.

"Well if it ain't little Joey Darley, didn't know you were old enough to be kissing girls," the guy said. "Pretty ones too."

Joe stood up as he saw the guys eyes trail over Gabby's body. Gabby stood up as well. Joe instinctively stood in front of her blocking her from the guys view.

"What's the matter big boy? Afraid your girl will get a good look at a real man?"

Gabby poked her head out from behind Joe to glare at the man. He wasn't too tall but he was built. He was covered in tattoos, even on his face and all over his bald head. He was also sporting a large smirk.

"Listen, you don't want to start shit with me right now," Joe warned.

"No? Why? Big brother's not here. It would actually be a fair fight. Your girl ever see you fight?"

"Back off," Joe took a step closer. Gabby gripped the material of Joes shirt in her fingers.

"What are you gonna do about it huh?" The guy placed his hands on Joe's chest and pushed him. Joe fell back a couple steps bumping into Gabby. His hands automatically went behind him to steady her.

"Hey! Break it up. Now!"

Gabby saw Big Bubba walk back into the room. He had Joe's sketch in his hand. He stood in front of Joe.

"Back off Mick. You always manage to start shit in my shop. Get the fuck out." Big Bubba suddenly turned from a teddy bear to a grizzly bear. Mick's eyes shifted over to Big Bubba, then back at Gabby and Joe.

"See you soon sweetheart," he winked and licked his lips.

"Motherfucker," Joe spat and rushed forward but Big Bubba turned and stopped him before he could reach Mick.

"Not here. Let it go."

Joe took a deep breath. He could hear Mick laughing as he walked out the door. Gabby moved from behind Joe to stand next to him. He had a dangerous look on his face that she had not seen before.

"I got the sketch finished. I'll be back in a minute to set up," Bubba left the room giving Joe and Gabby some privacy.

"Are you okay?" Gabby asked Joe grabbing his hand. His face softened as he looked down at her. He leaned down to kiss her gently.

"I'm fine," he said when they pulled apart.

"Who was that guy?"

"Nobody important," Joe's face hardened again. "Come on."

Gabby didn't have time to say anything else. She just sat back down as Joe hopped up on the chair again.


When Tanya walked out of the diner she was shocked to see Baggy sitting on the side of the street in the red mustang. When he noticed her, he got out of the car and met her half way.

"Hey baby." He wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Hi," she said surprised. She was not expecting him to be there.

"My last deal went down fast so I thought I'd come pick you up," he said answering her unasked question.

"Oh," Tanya wasn't sure what else to say. It had been awhile since she and Baggy had spent any real quality time together.

"Yeah. so I figured we could go home and catch up on some lost time." He slipped his hands down to cup her bottom and nuzzled his face into her neck. Tanya smiled. Maybe they would go back to the way they use to be.

"Sure."


Becca didn't know how long she had been sat there in Spink's lap but she really liked the way his hands were caressing her thighs. Sienna was still flirting with Billy. Or at least trying to. He was ignoring her but seemed like he was beginning to lose patience.

"You wanna take a little bathroom break?"

Becca looked down at Spink who was grinning up at her. She narrowed her eyes.

"What? Why would I want to go to the bathroom with you?"

"Don't you remember what happened the last time we were in the bathroom together?" He nipped at her neck.

Becca felt her pulse speed up. Of course, she remembered. She couldn't stop thinking about it. About how good his hands felt and how good his lips felt against her lips, her neck. She could almost feel them right now.

"Go Spink," Heco shouted.

Becca opened her eyes. She didn't even realize she had closed them. And Spink had been sucking on her neck. She jerked away from him and stood up.

"What's your problem?" Sienna snapped. Becca was starting to annoy her.

"Nothing, nothing. I just need a drink. So I'm gonna go. Get a drink," she said and hurried over to the bar without making any eye contact with Spink, who she could feel smirking at her.

"She's so weird sometimes," Sienna laughed.

"You gotta problem with her?" Billy snapped causing her to stop laughing.

"What? No. Of course not. It's just funny to see her in this environment. She usually hangs out with this girl we call St. Gabby because she's such a prude. Becca's lucky to be hanging out me and my friends."

"That right?" Billy grabbed a cigarette. He lit it and took a long drag. Sienna couldn't take her eyes off him. Without warning he blew the smoke out and into her direction. She turned her head and coughed.

"You think you got what it takes to hang here?" Tommy laughed.

"Little girl, you have no idea," Billy murmured patting his cigarette with his finger.

"What? And Becca does?"

Everyone chuckled. They were all use to seeing Becca considering she was Gabby's best friend. Sienna just didn't know that.

Spink just laughed as Becca made her way back to the table with a new drink. She surprisingly put a bottle of beer down in front of Spink. He smiled up at her, a real smile.


"Does your chest still hurt?" Gabby asked with a smile. They had left the tattoo shop and were heading to the bar.

Joe grinned, "Nah, it's not bad now."

"Can I see it again?" Gabby moved to stand in front of him and tried to pull his shirt up. Joe rolled his eyes and chuckled. He lifted the shirt up so Gabby could see the new ink on his chest where his heart was. Staring back at her was a tribal design of an angel.

"I got it for you, you know." Gabby's eyes shot up to his face.

"What do you mean?"

"It's an angel looking over my heart. She's you."

"Me?"

"Yeah. You have my heart. Just don't repeat any of this to anyone. Ever. I may have to kill you then. And your way too beautiful right now."

Joe grinned hauling her against him and firmly pressing his lips against hers. She smiled against his lips before abruptly pulling looked at her in confusion.

"This is gonna jinx us. Anytime someone gets a tattoo about their boyfriend or girlfriend they break up. I don't want to break up."

Joe smiled and nuzzled her neck. "That's names babe. I don't have your name on me yet."

"Yet?" Gabby asked. "Try never. I don't want my name on you. It will jinx us."

So superstitious," Joe mumbled against her neck, sliding his hands down her back. Without warning he slipped his hands into the back pockets of her jeans and gently thrust his hops into her. Gabby let out a gasp.

"It's true," Gabby muttered trying to ignore the shot of pleasure that just swept through her lower belly. She pulled away with a laugh and began walking away.

Joe chuckled and jogged forward to catch up with her. He was one lucky son of a bitch, he thought.

Short I know, sorry. But like I said, I don't even know if anyone is still reading this. So let me know! :)
