Thanks everyone for all the great reviews and follows. This is my first attempt at a fan fiction so I appreciate all the views and comments. I will be adding more of SAMCRO's in the next few chapters.
It had been three days since I had last seen Juice. He had called me the night he left me alone in my hotel, muttering off some excuse about doing a late night run with Tig and then a quick trip up to Nevada in a voicemail when I ignored his call. I had planned to see him when he came back to Charming but as the days past I couldn't help but feel it might be better if I left before he returned to town.
I had spent the afternoon with Tristen, taking her shopping before she needed to get home for her violin practises my mom forced her to do.
"Tristen, we gotta go. You know mom will be super pissed at the both of us if we don't get you back in time" I called out as she searched through a rack of nearby clothes, in some young teens store she had begged me to go into.
"Alright lets go" She muttered as we began walking out of the store. Just as we stepped back into the mall I heard another familiar voice.
"Holly Oswald, I heard you were back in town. Tristen how are you doing sweetheart?" Gemma Morrow asked.
It had been a long time since I had laid eyes on SAMCRO's presidents old lady. Out of everyone involved with the club Gemma had always been one of my favourites. She had always been sweet to me even though she had her issues with Tara who at the time I was always with. She knew Opie was in a tough spot and became a second mom to him and myself. When she heard about Opie she had begged me to give him another chance but gave me her blessing when I left town.
"Gemma, it's been awhile" I smiled as she pulled me into a hug.
"To long. How have you've been? I heard you had a bit of a run in with Opie" she mentioned as she pulled back from the hug.
"Yeah. I wish it hadn't gone down like that. I think I caught him off guard he didn't know I was going to be there. Hell I didn't know I was going to be there." I said with a laugh trying to make light of the situation that hadn't left my head since the moment it happened.
"No matter what circumstance hunny it would have gone down like that. You were Op's girl and when you left it broke his heart. Sure hes happy with Donna and they have a life together but she doesn't support him like you did. She wants him out of the club and you know Opie, the club is his life he has no intention of leaving. He wants that supportive old lady back" she said with a famous Gemma smirk.
"I'm not his old lady Gemma. I never got to be he was the one who cheated, he couldn't even bother to hide it from me. It was over a long time ago and we've both moved on" I said hoping Gemma would drop the topic of Opie. I was done talking about Opie, I hated that I wanted to talk about him.
"I know baby, I hear you've moved on anyway. I'm happy for you Juice is a good boy" she winked.
I couldn't help but laugh and nod. "He is very nice but I'm only in town for a few days. I'll be leaving any day soon. It's nothing serious were just seeing each other." I said hoping Gemma would take the hint that my sudden trip back to Charming did not mean I had any intentions of moving back for good.
"Well be nice to him. He doesn't bring many girls home, you must have meant something to him. I'll let you girls get back to shopping. Come back and visit next time your home sweetie" Gemma smiled as she pulled me into another hug.
"Nice to see you Gemma" I muttered before I pulled back from the hug and quickly wrapped my arm around Tristens shoulders leading her closer to the mall doors.
"Come on mom is going to kill us" I mumbled to her as we began searching the crowded parking lot for my car.
We had just climbed into my beat up Toyota when I turned to see Tristen crying in the passengers seat.
"Tristen hunny what is wrong?" I asked as I quickly wiped at the tears now running down her cheeks.
"I don't want you to leave again. I don't want to deal with mom and dad by myself. I don't want you to go back. Im sorry I know you don't want to be here but you were gone for so long" she burst out as the tears continued to fall down her cheeks.
"Tristen it's okay. I promise I'm going to stay longer okay don't worry. Lets get back home before mom thinks were dead" I smirked as I handed her a kleenex I pulled out of my purse before pulling out of the parking lot and heading home.
An hour later I dropped Tristen off at the house and headed back down town. I hated the situation I was currently in. I had left Charming years ago and was happy to do so. Now my little sister was begging me to say. That little girl had always had me wrapped around her finger and now with her situation I was already hesitant to leave her, her pleas just cemented my decision that Charming would once again because me home at lest temporarily.
I parked my car in front of the hotel. Just as I climbed out of the car and stepped foot on to the nearby sidewalk I noticed a familiar bike parked two spaces behind me. I knew it belonged to Juice. I sighed, as much as I liked Juice I had avoided his calls well he was gone and I couldn't help but admit to myself that I was worried if we came face to face I would fall right back into this hold he seemed to have on me.
I walked into the buildings lobby and quickly spotted him leaning against the wall near the elevators his arms crossed over his chest exposing the tattoos that covered his arms and hiding the reaper on his back.
"Well aren't you a sight for soar eyes" he winked as he once again flashed me that wide grin.
"Long time no see Juan Carlos" I said with a smirk as I pushed the elevator button. A moment later the large elevator doors slid open, without a word he slipped inside the small empty space with me. We rode for another moment in complete silence before he turned and looked at me.
"You never answered my calls well I was gone"
"I know I'm sorry about that. I was confused and trying to focus on Tristen. Im sorry Juice" I said with a sigh. I wanted to be honest with him, wanted to tell him that I was afraid the more I talked to him the more I would fall for him. I wanted to tell him I liked him, I wanted to tell him I could love him. I wanted to tell him I couldn't love a son.
I kept my mouth shut as the elevator doors opened and I stepped inside the hallway. I smiled as he followed behind me.
"I get it, just would have been nice to hear your voice. I feel like I was stuck in a truck for days" he muttered as he ran his hand along the back of his neck.
"That must have been fun. None of the boys came with you?" I asked as we made the short walk to my room.
"No, some girl named Cherry hitched a ride with me back from Nevada" he mentioned as he stepped inside the room, the door shutting behind him.
I was shocked. When I was with Opie as good as he treated me most of the time he tended to lie to me or not tell me most details. He never told me anything that happened with SAMCRO and anything that happened well out runs and I was always fine with that. With Juice he didn't seem to hide anything, a thought that was refreshing.
"Cherry, sounds nice. Who is she?" I hated myself for asking, but the part of me that was falling for Juice needed to know.
"Some girl from Nevada, she slept with Clay. All she would tell me was she needed to get to Charming so I didn't think it would be a big deal. Clay was pretty pissed off when she got out of the truck" he muttered as he sat on the nearby bed.
"I bet he was. He has to deal with Gemma" I called over my shoulder as I slipped my jacket off and tossed it on a chair.
Before Juice had a chance to respond I heard my phone vibrating. I quickly dug through my purse until I spotted the iphone. I pulled it out just as the screen turned on showing a new text from Tara. "Heads up saw your new boyfriend today on the ground in hand cuffs" was all it said.
I sighed out loud as I quickly shoved the phone back into the purse. "How was your day?" I asked him trying to play it cool and not act like I didn't receive the surprising text.
Tara's text was a sharp reminder of what I was getting into here. I didn't plan on falling for someone when I came back to Charming especially a sons. I wanted a normal life not a guy who was handsome, charming, funny, and hand cuffed during the day.
"Umm not the best day" he said standing from the bed. He effortlessly wrapped one arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him.
"Can I be honest with you?" he asked with that god damn grin. That grin that seemed to give me butterfly's in my stomach.
I silently nodded as I ran my free hand along his cheek that barley showed the sign of the dark bruise he had only days before.
"We were raided today. It wasn't a big deal. It was a bullshit nothing stuck I just spent more time then I would like on the ground in hand cuffs" he said with a wink.
I couldn't help but smile. I hated that I was relieved he was honest with me, I wanted to use his admission as another reason why I shouldn't be falling for him but he was making this more difficult by each moment.
"Oh really, that sounds like an interesting day" I wanted to kiss him but once again before I could do anything his phone went off.
Through the phone I could hear the heavy accent of the Scottish son. Juice mumbled something into the phone before shoving it back into his pocket.
"I'm so sorry babe. I have to go. Club business" he mumbled before he quickly touched his lips to mine. He pulled away for a moment as our eyes locked together. I expected him to say something but he quickly crushed his lips against mine. He grabbed my hips as he pulled me against him. I wrapped my arms around his neck let my hands run along the smooth touch of his skin and the stubble of his closely shaved mohawk.
When he pulled away I felt myself catch my breath. "I will call you tomorrow. This time I expect an answer" he said with a wink before kissing me quickly again.
I watched him pull open the door and head back into the hotel hallway. Once he was out of sight I quickly grabbed the handle and yanked it open. I ran out into the hallway and spotted him just as he was about to get on the elevator.
"Juice" I called out hoping to get his attention.
I watched him spin around and grin at me. "Juice, would you want me to move to Charming?" I called out for the first time bringing it to his attention that my visit was supposed to be temporary.
He stopped for a moment and smirked. "I was dreading the day when you would say you were headed back home. Let me know if you need help moving" he called out before stepping out of sight and into the elevator.
