Chapter Eight

"Ok, I get you needed your grandma. I get that the punk lied to you. You should have come to me first baby." Juice started before we had even driven through the gates.

"I know, I've wanted to see her ever since I got kicked out of school and what happened this morning tipped the scales. I knew, simply knew that you didn't cheat on me but the bug was there and I needed to work that out. I know it was stupid. Can you forgive me?" I reached over and squeezed his leg.

"You know I forgive you. The next time you wanna see Nan, tell me and we'll go. This is Mayan territory baby, you could have been killed and then I would have had to wipe every Mayan off the face of the earth and that's a lot of work." I laughed at that and sat back in my seat.

"Don't get so comfortable baby, you still need to be punished for scaring me so much." He gave me a smirk and I felt my throat dry. Oh yeah, I liked Juice's punishments.

"Whatever you say baby?" We sat in silence while we followed Bobby and saw Dad's and Tig's headlights behind us.

I looked over and saw Juice bouncing around with energy and it reminded me of the first time I rode with him. I had thought my life was over and he had made it right. I smiled and he looked over at me and smiled back.

"We have a few hours here, why don't we talk about why you've been lying to everyone for the last couple of months." He suggested and I felt my heart stop.

'I don't know what you're talking about." I stupidly clung to the hope that he'd let it go.

"Cara Cara." He looked at me and his eyes didn't look hurt, angry or even annoyed. He simply wanted me to fess up so we could move on.

"How did you know?" I thought I'd been so careful.

"Honey, one of my jobs is finding out what the people connected to the club are up to. I hack into their accounts and yours is no exception. I also noticed that our rent is getting paid earlier in the month and I don't write that check. Also, sometimes you're gone for sixteen hour days and the excuses don't cut it. It didn't take a genius to figure out something was up. I was just happy it was Cara Cara and not drugs." He looked at me before turning his eyes to the road again.

"You know I'm not talent, right baby? The only person that gets to touch me is you." That was what I wanted him to know above everything else.

"Yeah I know that baby. Do you think I wouldn't have come in there and dragged you out by the hair if I even thought some porn star was fucking you? You're mine baby and were long before that crow." I shivered at the promise to his words.

"Does Dad know?" I was dreading his answer because if Dad didn't know I'd have to tell him.

"Yeah he knows and he just wants you to fess up about it. Your Mom knows too, you might want to figure out how to talk to her about it. Also, Luanne's been lying to you baby, she got permission from Clay before you even set foot on Cara Cara. Don't be too mad, you know she was looking out for you." He reached over and placed his hand on my leg.

I sighed and rested my head on the headrest. I had a lot of apologizing to do over the next few days, but at least everything was worked out with my man. We quietly drove on and I thought we had lucked out with the Mayans, we were almost to SAMCRO territory when Juice's cell rang. He answered then hung up as he began to drive faster.

"We've got company."
