Hanna Winston was beautiful, blonde and definitely considered stupid more times than she could count on her hands simply because she carried the qualities of being blonde and beautiful. Half the time, she'd allow the person to think she was actually dumb for about five seconds into the conversation before flashing her extreme smarts and pissing off the person she was conversing with.

Happy never once considered her to be dumb, he knew she was smart beyond ways. He knew she was witty as hell and quick with her tongue. She had a pistol for a mouth and he loved her that much more for it. He enjoyed their fights for that very reason, her wit was simply unreal. She'd fire attitude right back at him and instead of him getting more angry with her, he'd instantly get turned on… His off switch landing somewhere on the coast on the Bay Area… Somewhere completely unreachable. Her wit was what got her into most of her problems but she always seemed to get out of them except this night…

Lying, nakedly, beside her man was not on her to-do list for the night but somehow when she told him she was going on a date with some yuppie prick, Happy protested heavily… Their fight lasted for all of five minutes until he popped some quick retort at her about her bitchiness and she threw something equally clever at him.

Rushing toward her like she was his prey had the blonde beauty finally regretted her smart mouth but the minute his mouth landed on hers and his hands fumbled around to hoist her up, she was actually thanking God that he wasn't trying to kill her. But now, Hanna laid beside Happy in their bed at her apartment. He had one of his rough, calloused hands resting on her thigh, his thumb rubbing back and forth. His other hand was under his head on the pillow he was comfortably resting on.

He shot her a quick glance and he watched a frown form. Immediately questioning everything that just happened between them, he cocked an eyebrow. "What? I'm not good enough anymore?"

Hanna choked out an unamused laugh. "Promised myself I wouldn't get involved with you again."

"Why? Because I fuckin' got a blowjob from some other bitch? Get over it, Hanna… It's over and done with. I've apologized too many fuckin' times to remember and I'm still not back in your good goddamn graces… Time to move on, bitch… Enough's enough." Happy jerked the hand that was on her thigh away from it's resting place and ran it down his face. "You know my shit's about you…"

"I need time, Hap… I need time to fuckin' stop seeing that shit in my head every time I close my eyes and think of you. I used to see us together when I thought of you, now I see that shit and I'm trying so hard to stop but I can't." Hanna rolled over, facing away from him.

A hand landed on her hip and jerked her back over so she was lying on her back again. "Nah, you need me… Just like I need you. You think your thoughts ain't been disturbed, baby? I see got images of you crying in my dorm room after that shit went down. Then I had to come up with some bullshit excuse as to why you were at the clubhouse seeing me again."

"What'd you tell him?" Hanna cupped her exposed boobs so he couldn't see them.

Ripping Hanna's hands from her glorious assets, Happy pressed a kiss to the dip in her collarbone. "You were having boyfriend problems and thought I'd help you with them…" Hearing Hanna laugh made his heart skip a beat. She hadn't laughed a real heartfelt laugh around him in a long time. "You're beautiful, ya know that, kid?"

Her laughter stopped the second she heard him call her kid. "Stop fuckin' calling me kid… I am not a kid."

"Stop acting like it… Just forgive me and come back to me. You know this is my place anyway." Happy pressed his full lips to her chin before moving to her cheek. Then in his last move before getting out of the bed to get dressed, he kissed her, passionately, as if it'd be the last they kissed.

Slipping on his cut, he looked back at the bed and saw Hanna curled up, with the sheets wrapped securely around her. Walking back over to the bed, he ripped the sheets off her body and pulled her out of the bed. "You don't speak up now then I'm gone… I'm not coming back either, Hanna. This is it for us… Your call, darlin'."

In a quick move, Hanna had her arms wrapped tightly around Hap's strong body and buried her face in his chest; the move almost knocking Happy down as he was caught off guard. He honestly didn't expect that but to hell with his expectations, his girl had made her decision. She was going to forgive him. She was going to let him back in and that knowledge right there, made the Killa surprisingly good.

AN: I'm going to upload one more one-shot and then I'm going to go on a bit of a hiatus with the one shots... I'm not really getting much feedback on the shots to let me know if the story is actually being enjoyed or not;

But don't worry, An Outlaw's Love will be updated within the next day or so :)
