45.

Happy didn't know what to do. He had never felt like this before and it was kind of pissing him off.

"Well I wasn't talking about you." he said.
"Oh, well then I'm sorry." she said blushing.

Donna knew that Happy was lying and she knew it embarrassed Sad. She went to change the subject.

"So is Sad's car fixed?"

"It was just some bad gas. I cleaned out the tank and put some gas protection in. Try not to put cheap gas in your car it will last longer." Happy said gruffly.

"Sure." Sad said not being able to smile anymore. Happy looked at her and hated that he did that to her but he couldn't do anything about it now. He had to deal with whatever was going on in him. He handed her the keys and left.

"I'm sorry about that darling. He's been in a mood today."
"Yeah, I get that. I just wish I hadn't thrown myself at someone that clearly isn't interested."
Jax wanted to tell her that it wasn't true but Happy was his brother and he had to handle it his way. He walked over to Tara as she came from the back room.

"Where were you? I looked for you in your old dorm room."
"And what did you think you would find there?" he asked teasing her.

"I figured you were maybe taking a nap after I wore you out last night."
"You wore me out huh?" he asked bringing her closer to him.

"Yeah, okay you wore me out too." she said smiling and then kissing him.

"So I see you met Sad." Jax said.

"Yeah, we ran into her at the park. Do you know she sells negligee? She is going to be opening a boutique here in Charming."

"Oh yeah, well I know where a lot of my money is going to be going." Jax said laughing.

"I mean if you don't want it to then it won't." Tara said.

"Oh you know I do baby." Jax said chuckling.

Tara smiled at him and then they walked over to Donna and Sad.

"So where are you going now?" Tara asked her.

"Well I really need to start looking at some places to rent. Maybe down the road I can buy something."
"Hey, I know a cute little home that is two doors down from ours." Tara said.

"Yeah?"

"Come on we can go look now."

"Can I follow you? I really want to see how my baby is." Sad said smiling at them.

"Sure."

Donna and Tara went to get Thomas and then Sad followed them out of the garage.

"Why the hell did you do that?" Jax asked as he came up behind Happy who was watching Sad drive out behind Tara.

"I freaked out. I told you, I've never felt this way before."

"Well rule number one is when a female tells you she is interested you don't blow her off. You either let her down gently or you go for it. No matter how you feel."

"I know. I'm a jackass."

"Yeah, right now you are. But I think you could probably make it up to her."
"I need to get my head straight first boss."
"You do that. But if I were you I wouldn't take too long. You never know who might meet her next." Jax said as he walked off.

"Fuck." Happy muttered to himself.

Tara pulled in and Sad pulled in behind her.

"How do we get in to look at it?"Sad asked.

"Well I happen to have a key."

"What? How do you have a key?"

"Well to be honest, it's my house. I moved in with Jax when we got married and this was mine and Donna's house before we both married."
"Oh. So how much do you want to rent it for?"

Tara told her and Sad thought it was agreeable. She walked in and she was in awe. It was just what she was looking for. She ran her hand across the kitchen counters and she loved the look of the cabinets. The kitchen was beautiful. She walked into the living room. There was so much room. She could picture herself setting up her mannequins for her designs. There were three bedrooms with two and half bathrooms. She was picturing each room on what she could use it for.

"I love it. When can I move in?"

"Whenever you want. It's empty so if you want it today it's yours."
Sad hugged Tara. "You have been great to me."

"We like having new friends. Don't we Donna?"

"Yes we do. Especially one as sweet as you are." Donna said smiling.

"So let me know when you want to move stuff in. The guys from the club will help. Then I have to warn you Gemma will be planning a housewarming party. So be prepared." Tara said laughing.

"Well I have a lot of stuff in storage here so as soon as they can help than let's do this." Sad said.

Tara pulled out her phone and called Jax. She told him what she needed.

"He said today they have some business to take care of but tomorrow if it's good for you."

"That would be perfect. In the mean time I can go and retrieve my things from the hotel."

"Okay, well we will see you bright and early tomorrow morning. The electricity is still on. You can get that changed whenever to your name. No rush."

"Thanks again you two. You have been the best welcoming party I've ever had." she said with a few tears of happiness in her eyes.

Tara hugged her and then Donna did.

"See you tomorrow." she said as they left her there to decide how she wanted everything set up.

Once she figured it all out she went to the hotel to retrieve her belongings. She was happier than she had been in a long time. She knew that this place felt right to her and Tara and Donna made her believe it. She just wished she could get the picture of Happy's muscled chest out of her heard. Oh how she had wanted to run her fingers down it. She felt herself get wet and knew she needed to shake her thoughts.

"Come on Sad, he's not interested get over it already." she said to herself.

She walked out to the car and took off to the hotel not seeing a sexy biker watching her from a distance.

"Was that Happy over there?" Donna asked as they left Sad,

"Yeah, I think it was."

"I thought he wasn't interested."

"Yeah, well I think he was blowing smoke up all our asses." Tara said. "I don't think I've ever seen him with anyone but a croweater or a sweet butt. Maybe he doesn't know how to talk to a girl like Sad."

"I hope that's what it is. She seemed really interested in him. I like here I hope she stay here awhile."

"I think she will." Tara said smiling.
