Kip didn't call her the next day, or the day after that, and then some more days followed. Eden didn't know what made her feel worse: the painful hangover she had all Sunday or the fact that Kip made such an effort to want to make sure if she was going to be okay the next day, but didn't even pick up the phone. She was starting to think that her escapade Saturday and running into him in the road was just a dream. Kip seemed interested in her, from the way he acted, or maybe he was just like every other guy she ever knew who just pretended to like a girl in hopes of getting what he wanted.

It was Thursday afternoon and Eden just got out of school. Instead of going straight to TM to work or go somewhere with her friends, she decided to run some errands for her Mom and grab a coffee before heading to work. As she step out onto the curb from Java Joe's, she inhaled deeply into her coffee. It was a rainy day in Charming and all she wanted to do was snuggle up in bed and relax, but that wasn't going to happen. She was a member of the Sons and a Morrow, there was always work to be done. Shuffling through her purse to look for her keys, when she finally retreieved them she looked up and saw that last person she wanted to see right now walking towards her way.

When Kip looked up and saw her staring back at him, he froze in his spot. The guilty, yet stupid, look on his face pissed her off even more. She rolled her eyes, walking right passed him. She made a point for her shoulder to bump his chest nice and hard, to show her disdain for the Prospect. Sure you could say she was acting immature for a guy she barely knew, but the way she felt every time they've talked, there was something there, she knew she felt something strong about Kip.

"Eden," he called, exasperated, "Wait a sec."

Eden wasn't going to budge. Another great attribute that she inherited from Gemma was her stubbornness. She wasn't going to give in.

"I know I should've called." he continued "I wanted to."

Eden turned around, scowling "It's nice to want things, isn't it?"

"Can you let me explain?" he pleaded

"Alright then, talk." Eden said, wanting to get this over with. She knew he'd give some lame excuse and then she would be set. This little crush she had on the Prospect would be over. She could chalk this week up to her being an idiot and once again not wanting to get involved with any guy associated to Charming, much less SAMCRO.

"Can we talk somewhere more private?" he asked, ushering her to the alleyway between Java Joe's and the local laundry mat. It seemed colder in that alleyway than it did on the main street. Eden just stood there, arms crossed, looking with at Kip, waiting for him to explain

"I know I should've called, or even shot a text." Kip admitted

"No shit sherlock."

Kip smirked, her comebacks always had him laughing, even though he was trying to have a serious conversation with her. "Are you okay though? From the other night?"

"I'm fine. All I did was drink and smoked. I had a bad hangover, but I was fine. No need to be worried." she assured

"What about that guy?" he asked "The one who put the moves on you? He still an issue?"

Eden smirked "I think I took care of it. I highly doubt he'll try anything again. Don't go all hero and try to restore my honor or some shit. I don't need a guy to do my bidding."

"I know you don't. But if he does come around again, tell me alright?" he reasoned

"Fine,"

After a short pause between the two of them, which by the way felt like a century, Kip finally spoke again. "Juice told me how old you are."

"Yeah? I'm seventeen, what does that have to do with anything?"

"It means a lot! You do realize I'm twenty two right? That's a five year age difference. You're still a minor."

"What does that have anything to do with not calling me? You made such a huge deal wanting make sure I was okay after Saturday night, but then I don't hear from you at all."

"'Cause us talking is a bad idea."

He wasn't making any sense. "I wasn't aware you have to register as a sex offender for talking to anyone under the age of eighteen." she said sarcastically

"Eden." he said in a voice that made it sound he was tired of her sarcasm, actually showing an emotion other than being goofy "This isn't funny. You know how much trouble I could get in? Not only will I not be patched in, your Dad and your brother, who by the way scare the shit out of me, will rip me limb from limb!"

"Leave them out of this." Eden demanded "I'm tired of them running my life! What are we doing that's so bad? All we do is talk."

"Yeah, and that's how it starts!" he explained "I know we've only known each other for a week, but I already like you, a lot."

Eden softened "You do?"

Kip nodded "Yeah, and when I saw you walking all by yourself in the middle of the night I never been that worried about someone in my life. I kept thinking that all these horrible things happened to you and I felt sick. How do you even explain that? Worrying that much about someone you just met that day?"

"I don't know."

"Exactly, which is why I should keep my distance."

"Doesn't mean I have to." Eden said haughtily

Kip chuckled, this girl was going to get him killed "Alright then. What do you want?"

"First things first." Eden said "You like me, right? Like like me as in you wanna see me naked?"

Kip immediately blushed "Uh uh I-I mean no, I mean yes. I mean no." he stuttered "I like you more than being a friend, in a respectable way."

Eden rolled her eyes, this kid couldn't be farther than a Son right now. Who was respectable about dating these days? "Then take me out."

"Out?" he questioned

"On a date. Like an activity we do that you pick out and we have fun."

Kip wasn't sure if a girl has ever asked him out before, it was more of his territory, but what part of this thing had going on with Eden was ordinary? Her asking him out was something that describe who she was. She didn't beat around the bush.

"Okay." he nodded "I'll take you out. Can I pick what we do or are you gonna do that for me? Strip all of my manhood completely." he asked

Eden smiled "No, you can pick. This time."

"Okay fine. We'll go on a date then." Kip said. Before he could say anything else, his pocket began to ring.

"So which one of the Neanderthals is calling you now?" Eden joked

"Your brother." Kip said, emotionless then flipped open his phone "Hello?"

Eden could hear her brother's deep voice on the other side of the receiver. "Yeah, yeah. I can be there no problem. Okay. Yeah. Bye."

"What did he want?"

"Just to do some errands, Sons stuff." Kip replied nonchalantly

Eden rolled her eyes "Right. Whatever you say. I'm not telling them about this you know. Us. So don't get all worried."

"I was kinda hoping you would say that. I think they would be okay with our age difference."

"I don't give a shit what they think or our age difference."

Kip laughed "You made that clear. I really don't wanna leave you right now, but if I don't do the shit Jax wants me to do I'm dead."

"Alright. Go off, be the best little Prospect you can be." Eden said, not wanting him to leave

"I'll call you with the details on our date." Kip said, Eden noticed he smiled even bigger when he said the word "date." All of the sudden, Kip was inching closer to her. "I promise I'll call you." he said then kissed her forehead.

Eden was shocked. A guy has never been so intimate with her. A kiss on the forehead? Was this guy for real. Maybe he was too good to be true. Before she knew it, Kip was riding off on his motorcycle. As Eden left the alleyway she couldn't help but smile. Kip was sweet and actually cared about her. Hell he kissed her on the forehead for god's sake! As soon she got on the main street she looked up and her goofy smile had faded. Tara was walking her way.

"Hey Eden." Tara greeted, clad in her hospital scrubs

"Tara! What's up?"

"Just got done at work, was going to grab a coffee before I went home. I saw you with Half-Sack, I didn't realize you guys were friends."

"His name is Kip actually." Eden said in an aggravated tone. She hated when people called Kip his nickname, sure he didn't care that was his nickname, but Eden felt like everyone was mocking him for an injury that he got in the middle of a war.

"Right sorry, Kip." Tara corrected "So what is all that about?"

"We're just friends." Eden lied "Just two friends having a conversation."

"That's nice." Tara said. Eden knew for a fact Tara didn't buy anything she said. Tara had a bullshit detector that was so good it rivaled the famous Gemma Morrow's.

"Yeah, It's was nice talking to you though. I gotta head to TM or my Mom is gonna have my ass." Eden said, quickly trying to get out of this awkward conversation as much as possible.

"Eden I just want you to know you can tell me anything. I know we haven't been close since I've been gone, but I'm back now and you can confide in me without having to worry about your brother or Gemma knowing. I know for a fact she's not the easiest person to talk to."

Eden nodded "I know that. And if I had anything to tell you I would." She knew that was a another lie. She wasn't sure if she could trust Tara. One little slip about her and Kip's date and it could all be over between them before it even start and she didn't want that. "I'll see you later Tara." quickly making an exit.

"Eden!" she called, when she turned around Tara had a concerned look on her face "Just be careful. I know you act older than you are, but you're still seventeen."

"Thanks Tara." Eden didn't need to be careful, she knew what she was doing, or so she thought.
