Chapter 7: Apple Tree

He woke up and turned around to look at Al, sleeping next to him. It was six a clock in the morning and it was her birthday. He snuck under the cover, kissing his way down her side, she woke up and he looked at her as she did her kitten-stretch.

"Happy birthday, Katze."

"Thank you." She rubbed her eyes and then looked down on him, "Were you going somewhere with those lips?"

"I thought I'd give you your first birthday present." He said and started to kiss her body again til he found himself between her legs, he kissed the inside of her thigh before give her clit a quick lick. She gasped and he parted her folds, giving her a long lick before placing his tongue on her clit, carefully circling it. She was moaning now. He fucking loved to her hear moan, her quick panting before coming and then holding her breath, finishing with low cries when she actually came.

He kept circling her clit and then pushed two fingers inside of her, he smile slightly when he heard her panting. She was close.

"Please Hap" He fucked her harder with his fingers and then sucked on her clit. That's when the cry came. He moved up to her face kissed her while finding a condom in the nightstand and then pushed into her. Jesus fucking Christ, she had the best pussy. He just couldn't get enough of her, they were still on each other like rabbits, every chance they got.

A while later they were lying on their back, next to each other. She turned towards him and put her arm over him.

"Did you like your first present?" He asked.

"What will my next present be, a pearl necklace?"

He looked at her and laughed, sassy bitch!

"That could be arranged."

"You should get some underwear on, my parents might come in here and wake me up." She kissed him. "And wash your face, you smell of pussy."

He kissed her again and rubbed his face towards her's just to tease her, before going to the bathroom.

Alice was standing on the white paper that was the floor and the background in her moms temporary studio, she had white knee-socks, white boyshorts and a dark grey knitted sweater that was itchy as hell.

"Moooom! What is this, wool?"

"I don't know Angelface, I got it cheap though, it was on sale."

"No shit? It's itchy as fuck."

"Mine's fine." Alex said when he came walking, his was light grey as big as hers. They looked silly but she preferred the too big sweaters to the too small ones. They'd had those as well.

Happy, Alan, Gemma and Tara were standing in the corner looking at them. Her moms latest assistant was running around, setting things up.

"Joanna, can you fix my daughters face, she's still a bit shiny. Do Alex while you're at it."

Her mom was standing in a sea of cameras, putting roles of film in the ones that needed it, checking the computers and getting stuff ready.

She and her brother had been her moms main object since they were born. Alice had liked it until her early teens, then she hated it and by her early twenties she was just... used to it. It made her mom happy, so she was ok with it. She was completely comfortable in front of the camera, her brother as well. Taking the birthday-picture was something she had always liked, even in her teens, it was a part of the birthday and it would be strange to celebrate without doing it. It was breakfast, picture, lunch, presents and finally dinner. The entire family the entire day, it was important to all of them.

This time however, the sweater was driving her insane. It wasn't the first time, but it wasn't usually itching that was the main problem.

"Mom, if you're planing on taking any ink pictures you need to do it before this."

"Why, honey?" Her mom looked up from the computer with a questioning smile.

"I'm not kidding, this sweater is itching so bad that I'm going to be completely raw before we're done."

"Ok, both of you, just take off you sweaters, I have an idea for the ink one, but I want a black background for that, can you fix it Joanna?"

Relieved, Alice immediately took of the sweater. This was something she was used to as well, nude pictures, a few years ago she had told her mom that she couldn't put nude ones in exhibitions, she didn't think anymore people needed to see her tits.

"You promised, no more nude on display." She reminded her mom.

"You'll have your back against the camera."

Joanna came up and swept a brush with powder on her back and shoulders and then on Alex. Alice caught the look in Alex eyes and how Joanna blushed. Alex and tapped every single one of his moms female assistants and she knew it was driving her mom insane. She didn't understand why she didn't have a male one, something about females being more comfortable with other females and men not really caring, she had explained once.

"Ok, both of you, turn around, stand next to each other, Alice to the left. Alex, I want you to wrap her hair in you hand, holding it on her left shoulder. Alice, bend you right leg, let it rest on you toes, rest you hand on Alex left shoulder. More arch on you back Angelface, pout with you ass. Gemma could you give Alice a lit cigarette?"

Anita was barking out orders. For some pictures she knew exactly what she wanted, she already had the finished picture in her head. Gemma gave Alice the cigarette, glared at her and whispered. "Be nice to your mom."

Alice hadn't mean to be rude, but realized she had been nagging. The look she got from Gemma made her almost blush.

"Ok, you two ready?"

"Yes." They both said.

"Alex, take a mouthful of smoke and hold it." Alice held the cigarette to his mouth and he did as Anita said. "Alice, long neck, shoulders down, put the cigarette on the right side of you mouth and turn your head towards Alex. And you Alex, lean you head as far back as you can and blow out the smoke."

They both did exactly what she asked and the the flashes that went of in a series told them when that she was happy with what they did.

"Thank you love's. I wish everyone was as easy as you."

She looked at her brother, who once again was eying the assistant.

"Seriously, maybe you could let Joanna be, you are going through her assistants in an alarming rate. She barely has time to train them before they leave." She said quietly while they were putting on the knitted sweaters again.

"I know, she told me she'd cut of my balls if I tapped this one. She's apparently good."

The birthday-picture was different. She just put them in front of the camera and told them to have fun and pose and then she took as many pictures as possible. They never knew which one she'd use until she showed it to them around Christmas.

Happy kept looking at Al and Alex, the first picture was fast. All of the people involved knew what they were doing, his picture had taken some time. For the second one, when they were in the sweaters, they mostly played around in front of the camera and Anita running around them, shifting cameras the entire time. They didn't even seem to notice, it was like they were the only two people in the room.

Suddenly Anita said. "I've got it." Alice immediately tore of the sweater.

"Don't ever by the yarn on sale again, please." She kept scratching herself.

"I'm sorry, honey. The color was fantastic though."

Al pulled a t-shirt over her head and then came up to him. "Bored much?"

"I liked the first picture better, you look better without clothes." He whispered in her ear. The first one would be amazing, when the two of them were standing next to each other, their tattoos created almost an x-shape, it looked fantastic.

He had commented it to Alan and he just smiled, 'I know, I planned it that way. The two of them complete each other. That's what it represent.'

He could understand why she would have that 'never get another tattoo' on her list, didn't change the fact that she would get one.

"Everyone ready for lunch?" Gemma said and they were off. He saw Al walking up to her and saying something then Gemma gave her a hug. He wondered what that was about, Gem had seemed pissed earlier and he wasn't sure about what. Probably non of his business, he just followed them out the door.

Both her and Alex got loads of presents, Happy just smiled at her though.

"I'll give you mine tonight." She just nodded at him. He wanted her alone when he gave it to her and he had a feeling that she understood that.

Toward the evening they went to Clay and Gemma's house, all the patched-in members and their Old Ladies and Kids were there, screaming when they walked through the door. The dinner was good and it was obvious that Al was having a nice time. She disappeared for a while and he found her sitting in a stairwell next to Alex, leaning her head on his shoulder.

"Hi, sorry." Was the only thing he could thing of saying.

"Don't worry," Alex said, "I need to go see if they have more of those cookies." He got up and Happy sat down next to Alice. She took his hand.

"I didn't mean to interrupt the two of you." He said.

"You didn't, we were talking about you." She said.

"Oh, do I need to worry?"

"No, he said that he was sorry again."

"What else did he say?"

"I'm not telling you."

Seeing the two of them together he had understood how close they were. He wasn't sure how to feel about it. He was happy for her, at the same time he knew that there were parts of her that he would never know the way Alex did. But it wasn't like you could be jealous of someones brother.

He also knew that it was the same for her. His brothers, the Sons, knew parts of him that she would never know. That he didn't even want her to know because he knew it would scare the shit out of her. It would be stupid of him to try to come between the two of them, if push came to shove, she wouldn't choose him.

"Ok."

"Maybe someday, but not yet."

"It's ok Al." He ensured her. "Are you having a good birthday?"

"I have to say, this has been one of the better, I kind of miss Mia though." She hadn't been able to come, but had promised to come for New Years.

"Good. I'll do my best to get it up to number one tonight."

"Found them, they're decent." Tara was yelling. "Come on, it's time for the cake."

Hap got up, still holding Al's hand and they walked out to the kitchen. Alex came up and when he took Al's other hand he let go and went to the side. Tara turned of the light, they all started singing and Juice and Chib came walking with the cake, it was fucking huge.

They put it down on the table, on the cake was a celtic dog and a the reaper, Al and Alex just looked and then started to laugh.

"That's fucking amazing!" Anita said. "Don't touch it yet." She ran of and came with a camera and started taking pictures. Finally Al and Alex leaned over it and blew out all the candles. When she got up she looked straight into his eyes and smiled.

They started to cut the cake and Gemma walked up to him. "Hey there Killer."

"Hey." Gemma was up to something, she had that look.

"You ok?"

"Yeah."

"You really like her."

It wasn't a question, she was just stating facts. Shit, that Old Lady always knew everything. There was no point in trying to bullshit her, she had a bullshit radar the size of a small mountain.

"Yeah."

"Be good to her Happy. I'm not kidding you. I like her."

"I know."

If he pissed her off there would be hell to pay, he knew that.

"You didn't get her a present." That was what she had been after the entire time. He should have known that she would notice.

"I did, I just haven't given it to her yet."

"Good." Gemma patted him on his shoulder. "Think they're about ready to go home soon. I'll get the prospects to give them a lift."

They were wrapping up, the prospects had taken all the presents out to the car and Al was sitting in the couch with Abel in her lap, they were doing that thing, when they were just whispering to each other. He kneeled down in front of her.

"Gemma is getting a prospect to drive you home but I thought you'd go with me on the bike."

"Absolutely!" She smiled. They had done it a couple of times. She loved it, and he did too.

Alice was sitting behind him on the bike, leaning against his back and her hands around his waist. She could feel his abs working when he was moving and that in combination with the vibrations from the bike was getting her horny. She carefully slipped her hand underneath his hoodie and t-shirt, stroking his stomach. And then his thighs and just barely touching his crouch when she moved her hands back up to his waist.

"Katze, if you don't want me to bend you over the bike, you need to stop." He screamed to her over the sound of the engine.

She was seriously considering not to stop, but decided to be a nice girl and wait to see what he had planned for when they got home.

When he pulled up on her driveway and turned of the engine she got off the bike but he pulled her back towards him, hand around her waist and kissed her.

"Teasing bitch." He smiled. "Was kind of hoping you wouldn't stop."

"I won't next time, wanted to save it for my present." She said. "Sure you have a present for me?" During lunch he had told her he was giving it to her later, she just wanted to know if he had an actual present or if she was getting sex.

"I have two presents and that is not including my dick." He said with a smile.

They got inside and he followed her into the bedroom and closed the door behind him and walked up to the wardrobe.

"You hid my presents in my own wardrobe?" She couldn't believe him.

"Sure, you always pick you clothes from you clean pile anyway."

"Do not!"

"Sure do." He said and came with two wrapped presents, it looked like shoe boxes.

"Did you buy me shoes?"

"No."

She sat down on the bed and started to open the first one, he sat down on the bed next to her, holding the other present. When she opened the box she saw and envelope inside, she opened it. It was plane tickets, to New York, for Christmas. She looked at him with big eyes.

"I didn't know that your brother was coming, but I think you might still want to go to New York for Christmas."

"Yes." It was all she could say, she looked at the tickets again and then at Happy. "Thank you." She said and gave him a hug. She loved it, she hadn't planned on going but considering how cranky she got when she thought her brother wasn't coming, she probably should.

"Next present." He handed her the other box.

When she opened it there was a jewelery box inside, she didn't for a second think it was a ring, but she was kind of curious to why on earth he thought she wanted jewelry. She never used it.

"Jewelry?"

"Just open it." He said. So she did. And she couldn't believe her eyes. It was a pendant, but not any pendant.

"You're shitting me?" It was Darth Vaders lightsaber in silver.

"You didn't really think I was stupid enough to give you some regular jewelry?"

"For a second there maybe." She just looked at it, it was awesome. "Who gave you the idea?"

"Mom, actually. Said you'd like anything Star Wars or Star Trek. She helped me pick one, gave me a very dirty eye when I first wanted to buy another one from some not so cool character. So you should probably thank her too."

"I will!" She just kept looking at it. "Ok, I'll be a really nice girl for a week for this, and I'll admit that my ass is yours anytime you ask me for five days."

He put his arms around her and kissed her neck. "Just five days? It is a Darth Vader lightsaber."

"Six, but that's all! If I thought you actually knew who Darth Vader was I would give you a couple of extra days."

"I know who he is, but I'll take it." He said and then started to pull her clothes off. "I'll try to negotiate again after I've fucked you senseless."

"Smart man." She said and then lost her breath when he put his lips around her nipple.

He kissed her entire body and when he came up to her lips again he kissed her while sliding his fingers inside her. She couldn't hold back a groan followed by a "Please, Happy!"

"You need to be really, really quiet you know. Wouldn't want your parents to hear." He said with that devilish smile that drove her insane. But he finally started to take his clothes off and took a condom from the nightstand. He sat up and pulled her up in his lap and she immediately caught his mouth and sat down on his dick.

His arm was around her waist, pulling her closer every time she sank down on him. His mouth never left hers, trying to keep the volume down. She loved that perfect dick, she loved his hands all over her and most of all she loved his kisses.

Happy flipped Al around and started to pound her hard against the bed, he could hear on her breathing that she was close, to speed her up he reach down between them and started rubbing her clit mercilessly and to stop her from screaming he put his hand over her mouth. He couldn't hold back a very smug smile when she finally opened her eyes. He removed his hand and kissed her.

"Turn around." He said when pulling out and she immediately got up and was on her knees with hear hands on the headboard. He slammed into her again, holding her hips.

She soon started to pant again and he could hear that she was trying to hold back her screams and he just had to tease her and whispered into her ear.

"Want a pillow to bite down on, Katze?"

"Shut up!" She smiled and since she didn't give in – as usual - he ran his hands along her side and up to her perfect, mouthful sized tits, and pinched her nipples. "Oh, Shit!" She said and leaned over to bite down in her own hand. He felt the next orgasm and this time he didn't hold back, he moved even faster and harder, to prolong her orgasm he moved one of the hands down to her clit again. Her pussy cramped up around his cock harder than ever.

"Fuck, Al, Jesus fucking Christ." He mumbled and finally had to bite down on her shoulder to not scream out loud when he released.

"Ok, I'll be nice for nine days and I'll admit to my ass being yours for seven." She said, still panting heavily a few minutes later.

"Sounds good." This woman was driving him insane.

"Hey, I've got a question."

Happy turned his head and looked at her, she hardly ever asked him questions, so this should be interesting. "Ok?"

"How old are you?" She smiled at him when he started laughing. He was mostly surprised she hadn't asked earlier and had assumed she already knew. He knew he looked younger than he was in some ways, but he did have quite a lot of gray in his beard and hair so she probably knew he wasn't thirty or even close to it.

"Older."

"I know that, but how old?" She was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling and smiling.

"A lot older." He looked down at her and smiled back, she turned her head towards him and her eyes widened.

"Please tell me you're not older than my mom!"

"No."

"You're not going to tell me?"

"No."

"More than 40?" She suddenly seemed eager to know and that gave him an idea.

"Know what, I'll trade you. You tell me one more of your never's and I'll tell you how old I am."

"I should get one for everyone I've told you so far you know. So there's a few more questions you would have to answer."

"Doesn't work like that Katze. You tell me one now and I'll tell you how old I am." She looked at him and finally gave him a quick kiss.

"Nope, I don't care how old you are so I'm not making the trade. I'll wait till I figure out something I really want to know."

"Don't bother asking mom, she's not very helpful."

"I've noticed."

"So, one of your 'never's' is to not have anymore ink?"

"Yes." She stretched out and then turned towards him.

"Why?"

"My dad did this for me and Alex, and I don't want any others. I want this to be the only one. I love it and I don't want any other tattoo that... sort of... mess it up." He could see why she felt that way.

"What if you got one that matches it?"

"Still don't want it. I know what your aiming for. You're going to try to convince me to do another one. Just so I break another one."

She was, for once, completely wrong. It was nice to see that she sometimes didn't get him at all. She usually did.

"If you do another one, I'll do it."

"I haven't even seen any of your work, I won't let you do one on me."

"You've seen it. You just didn't know I'd done it."

"Like what?"

"The one on Jax's arm."

"The name?" She didn't look very impressed, he couldn't really blame her. But, he didn't do that one.

"No, the other one."

"You did that one? On the other arm, with the headstone?" Slightly more impressed he noticed.

"Yes."

"It's really good."

"See!"

"Still not going to let you ink me."

Happy turned towards her, he wasn't going to argue with her now. He just leaned over her and kissed her. Tasted her mouth, sucked on her lips and her tongue. Even if he hadn't known it was one of her nevers, he would still have given her a tattoo. She was going to become his Old Lady, not yet, but she would and she needed ink for that. He did however realize that there was no way in hell she would agree on a crow, he would have to come up with something else, something she would love. And he knew exactly who to ask.

"What the fuck Al!" He screamed as he dodged a glass flying against his head. Her parents and brother had left three days earlier and they were now having one of their fights. As usual he could hardly remember what the fight was about to begin with. The woman was butt fucking crazy, screaming her lungs out. Mid-fight he had brought up the fact that she had been flirting with one of the customers, probably not a smart move, that's when the glass came flying towards him.

"Fuck you, you possessive asshole. I did not fucking flirt with him!"

"Possessive asshole? Fucking bitch! You were practically rubbing your pussy against him."

"You are such a fucking moron, you know that?"

"Moron? Just 'cause I don't want you flirting with every fucking male customer that walks into the garage, that makes me a moron?"

"I'm not fucking flirting with anyone and I'm not the one who lets Crow Eaters rub their pussy against my lap as soon as I sit down in the bar so don't even try getting up my ass about flirting with anyone!" She could really scream and the she started walking towards the door, like she always did and Happy caught up with her and grabbed her arm.

"You're not walking away in the middle of the fight again!" He fucking hated that she did that, she just walked out and when she came back she was in a good mood and he was still pissed as hell.

"Let go of my arm." She said, looking straight into his eyes.

"Do not walk out of here again."

"I'm to pissed for this discussion right now. So let go of my arm or I will bitchslap you into oblivion."

"Fucking hell Alice, could we just finnish one fucking discussion before you walk out."

"We're not discussing, we're screaming and there's no point in that, just. Let. Me. Go." He didn't and before he knew what was happening she slapped him in the face which really pissed him off, he still didn't let go of her arm and instead pushed her up against the door with a loud bang, just staring at her. He had never been so close to hitting her and was just trying to calm down while still staring at her.

"If you hit me, you're out of here and you're not coming back." She said, just staring back at him.

"So what, you can hit me but if I hit back, that's it?"

"Well, obviously we don't have matching rules for flirting with the opposite sex either so why should we have it for slapping?"

He was still pinning her to the door, holding her upper arms, pissed as hell and suddenly she did one of those crazy things only she would ever do, she started to giggle. He just stared at her in disbelief and she still didn't stop. He let go of her arms and she threw herself at him, kissing him.

"Crazy ass bitch." He mumbled a few minutes later while pulling her pants off, carrying her over to the kitchen counter.

"Shut up! Just tell me you have condoms in your wallet."

A quickie on the counter later they were lying on the floor in the kitchen.

"You really are crazy, you know that, right?" He said, looking at her.

"Yeah, I know. I'm sorry." She answered, hugging him.

"For what, being crazy?"

"No, for yelling at you, throwing things at you."

"For slapping me?"

"Nope, not sorry about that, if you don't let go of me when I tell you too, I will always slap you."

He looked down at her arm and saw bruises. "Fair enough."

She looked up at him and kissed him. "Clean up the glass and we're even." she said and got up from the floor and started to get dressed.

"No way, when I start throwing things at you, I'll clean up."

"Ok, then."

He pulled up his pants that were still down by his ankles and then got off the floor as well.

Buster came walking towards them, whenever they fought he disappeared, the first couple of times he had been staring at them, whining as if he didn't know who to protect and now he just disappeared. Happy held him to stop him from walking into the class on the floor. "You ok, boy?"

Buster licked his face and wagged his tail and when Al came up and hugged him he licked her face as well and then walked off again. As always, as soon as he had confirmed that they were friends again he was ok.

"Smart dog." Al said. He pulled her in for another kiss.

"We ok?"

"Sure, till next time." She said with a smile.

She most certainly didn't hold a grudge and considering how often they fought, that was a good thing.

Please keep reviewing and let me know what you think!
