Chapter 9
Three hours later, I am still writing. I just started typing and next thing I know, I have six full chapters written and I feel better. I had always wanted to be a writer. I hand the laptop to Juice and he starts reading. Once he's done, he looks at me smiling and says "Baby, this is really good." I look at him shyly and ask "Really?" He nods his head and asks "Are you feeling better?" I smile and say "Yeah. I am. I think Tig was right. This is what I needed to do to get my head right but the more I write, the more I think about it. When I finish this, and I will, I want to publish it." I tell him. "Just tell me what you need and we'll make it happen." he tells me. "I love you Juice." I say. "I love you too Princess." he says before I put the laptop down and we order dinner before bed.
Getting up the next morning, we get up and both eat breakfast before heading into work. I walk into the office and Gemma walks in. "How you doing baby?" she asks. "A lot better. I sat down and started writing last night and feel a lot better. I decided that when I finish my book, I want to publish it and Juice told me that we would do what needed to be done to get it done." I tell her. "That's good baby." she says. "I need to find Tiggy and thank him. He was the one that told me to start writing again." I tell her.
I walk into the clubhouse and see Tig at the bar. "Hey Uncle Tiggy." I say as I walk up beside him. "How you doing baby?" he asks. "I'm better. You were right. Writing helped me get my head straight." I tell him. "Good. So, what did you write about?" he asks. "I started a book. Even have a title. It's about taking my throne back. Getting myself back to where I need to be." I tell him. "That's good baby. So, we have our Princess back?" he asks. "Hell yeah." I say.
I walk out to the garage where Juice is and walk over to the car he's working on. Tapping his shoulder, he looks up "What's up Princess?" he asks, concerned. I pull him close and crash my lips to his. He returns the kiss and wraps his arms around me tightly as I hold him close. When we come up for air, he smiles at me and says "Not that I'm complaining but what brought that on?" I smile and say "Just wanted to show you that I love you." I say. "I love you too Princess." he says. I kiss him one more time before heading to the office to work.
Sitting in the office, the door opens and in walks Jax. I don't look at him and don't speak. "Can we talk?" he asks. I don't say anything but stop what I'm doing. "I wanted to say I'm sorry. You've always been there for me and I couldn't handle the thought of you not being there for me." he says. I finally look up at him and say "Bull shit, Jax. All I was to you was a piece of ass you thought you could control. But there's one thing you need to remember. I'm the Goddamned Princess. Royalty just like you and you will remember that. And if you ever disrespect me or my Old Man again, I promise, you'll find out exactly why I'm the fucking Princess." I say as I storm out of the office. Walking out, I run right into Clay. He grabs my arms and I see him smile. "Proud of you sweetheart. That's the Princess we know and love." he says. I kiss his cheek and say "Thanks Uncle Clay." before walking over to the garage where Juice is and pulling him close to me again and just wrapping my arms around him.
A little later, we are sitting in the clubhouse and Jax walks over and asks "Can I talk to you brother?" Juice kisses me softly and walks to the side. "Look, I fucked up. I know what I did was wrong but I want to make this shit right." Jax says. "Look, I won't let this come between us clubwise but until shit gets made right with my Old Lady, personally, we don't have anything to say to each other." Juice says before walking back over to me. "You okay?" I ask Juice. "Yeah Princess. He just wants to make shit right but until you're right with him, I'm not." he says. I stand up and pull him with me. Walking over to Jax, where Tara came to stand with him, "The four of us need to talk." I say and we all walk into the chapel. "I'm tired of all of this shit so we are going to hash this shit out now and be done. I'm not letting this shit hold me back and I won't let it come between you two and the club." I say. "Agreed." Tara says. "Look, I'm sorry I called you names and accused you of that shit. I should have heard both sides of the story." Tara says. "I should have come to you and told you what was happening." I say. "No, I shouldn't have done what I did. I'm sorry." Jax says. "Just give me time to get my head right and give me a little space but we'll be okay." I tell him and he nods. Juice speaks up and says "When she gets right, we'll be right." Jax nods and we all walk out of the chapel. Clay walks up "You all good?" he asks. I look up at him and say "Working it out." before Juice and I head outside to his bike to go for a ride.
