"Um, yeah so this your bed," Juice pointed at the large sofa that only just fit in the small living room, "it's a pullout" he quickly added.

"Fuckin' hell, you couldn't give her your bed?" said Chibs, not looking happy.

"Sofa bed is fine, honest, it's perfect," she gave a nervous looking Juice a smile and was pleased to see he relaxed a little.

"If you say so love," Chibs threw an arm around Amber's shoulders. "Okay Juice my boy she's all yours, be good kiddies." Slamming the door loudly behind him Chibs left, the sound of his booming laugh following him.

Amber hadn't spent a lot of time with Juice since arriving in Charming. Sure she had served him a few beers at the bar and seen him around the club house but she knew little about him and he defiantly knew little about her.

"Thanks for taking me in, I'm sorry you're stuck with me like this. I promise I'll keep out of your... er, hair and make in as easy as possible."

Not knowing what to do with her stuff she dumped it on the sofa that would later become her bed.

"Don't worry about it. I'm hardly here and when I am it would be good to have company, just make yourself at home I guess."

He walked over to a small table and picked up his cut.

"Okay, let me know when you're going to be home and I can cook for you or something to say thanks, I'm a bit of a wiz in the kitchen."

"Dude, apparently she cooks and those shorts she wears, my house just became paradise," Juice had walked into the clubrooms smiling and hadn't stopped. He hadn't shut up about Amber moving in and was in the process of filling in Half Sack.

"It's not fair man. I had a message from Tig asking me to take her in, why do you get her?" Half Sack put a beer down on the bar for Juice before taking a seat next to him.

"I don't know man but I like the idea of this live in pussy... Ow!"

Tig walked past Juice and smacked him upside the head, a move that didn't go unnoticed by Clay.

"Tigger, Tigger, Tigger. Do I need to be worried about you and the new girl?" asked Clay as TIg sat down next to him further along the bar form Juice and Half Sack.

"What's there to be worried about? Pussy, that's it." Tig took a swig of beer, contemplating the need for something stronger.

"I got to say I'm a little concerned about her motives. Don't see why she's hanging around in Charming, there's clearly nothing here for her. No family, no friends, she's going to be sleeping on a sofa at the Retards house for Christ sake, it doesn't sit right with me."

Tig knew he would potentially be putting Amber in danger if Clay knew that she knew about their involvement in Dona's death.

"Don't worry brother. Juice is loyal to the club, if he sniffs something off about her he will tell us, and Chibs, shit, she doesn't do anything without him knowing about it."

"Women can be a dangerous thing in a place like this brother, men do all sorts of strange things when the women in their lives, whether in be lover, sister or daughter get too involved. Just remember that."

Clay slid off his seat and headed outside. His words were heavy in Tig's ear. It made him wonder if forcing Amber to stick around was the right thing to do, in order to serve his own needs he could be putting them both in danger.

Amber let out a heavy sigh as her butt was pinched for about the tenth time that night, she was certain that a few would bruise. The bar was full of drunken Arians and meth heads looking for a hit. It was common knowledge to everyone there that she had SAMCRO links so no dealing ever happened within the walls of the bar but she knew the small shed out back where broken bits and bobs were kept was being used to hide the illicit deals.

She counted down the hours till she could get back to Juices and sleep. She hoped the pull out sofa was comfortable, either way it was better than her car.

I know I've been so slow with updating and what not, just kind of lost motivation (think i need some new SOA to get me going). Since demonicseer asked so nicely for me to keep going I'm going to try hard to get a few up dates up over the next week. This chapter was just something I had sitting there so i figured I'd tidy it up and post it.
