47.

The night was finally here. Sad looked at the outfit she had finally decided on wearing. She was exhausted from working on the store all week but she was really looking forward to this party. If Happy didn't want her maybe she could find someone else as enticing because she really needed some loving. It had been a while and she was horny as hell. She put her lotion on that she always wore and started getting dressed. Tara had said that her and Jax would be by to pick her up. Once she was dressed she knew it wouldn't be long for them to come. She decided though that she needed a little moral booster. She pulled her tequila out with a shot glass and poured a shot. She picked it up and swallowed it down. The burn felt good. She did one more and she was ready to face everyone.

She heard the knock and she picked up keys and went to the door. Walking out and turning to lock the door she then turned to Tara.

"Hey girl." Tara said.

"Hey."

"You okay?"

"Yeah, just had to take a moral booster." she said smiling feeling a slight buzz.

"I understand that. Come on the party awaits."

She climbed in the back seat. "Hey Jax." she said.

"Hey, you look good, and I didn't think it was possible but what Tara is wearing is hot. I mean I'm going to have to make sure everyone there knows who she belongs to." Jax said smiling.

"I'm glad you like it." Sad said chuckling..

"What's that perfume you have on?" Tara asked.

"Oh it's not perfume. It's a lotion I developed for my store."

"It smells great. You do a lot of things for your store."
"Yeah,. It's my passion."
"I believe it. " Tara said smiling.

Jax was thinking on the way to the club about Sad's business. He wondered if she needed any investors. He thought maybe that would be a great investment. He decided to talk to the guys at the next church meeting and see what they said.

They pulled into the parking lot and even though Sad had those two shots she was really nervous about maybe getting to see Happy again.

Tara seem her face and she knew what Sad was thinking about. She thought about what her and Jax talked about and she knew Jax didn't think it was their place to tell Sad how Happy felt. But Tara couldn't get the picture of Sad and Tig out of her head and that really bothered her. Tig was okay to be friendly to but he was not who she wanted to see Sad with. She made a decision right then.

"Hey, can I talk to you a minute?" Tara asked Sad as Jax went into the clubhouse.

"Yeah."

"I know it's not my business but I just want you to know that I know you think that Happy isn't interested but you're wrong. He just doesn't understand his feelings at the moment. You kind of knocked him for a loop. He's not used to the way he feels about you."

Sad looked a little shocked at what Tara said.

"How do you know?" she finally asked.

"Well Happy had a talk with Jax and I'm not suppose to be telling you this but I just couldn't let you go hanging around with Tig if I could help it. I mean if Tig is what you want great, but I just don't think he is truly what you want."

Sad just looked at Tara for a moment.

"I"m sorry I probably overstepped my bounds." Tara said realizing she may have made a mistake.

"NO, no Tara, thank you. I'm glad I know. It explains a lot. So exactly what do I do with this information?"

"Well it doesn't hurt to flirt with others to maybe make him realize that if he doesn't move soon he won't get the chance." Tara said smiling.

"That sounds like a great idea." Sad said smiling.

They then turned and went into the clubhouse.

The music was loud and their was cigarette smoke billowing everywhere. The lights were low. It looked just like a regular bar. When she seen the kind of women that were here it made her step a little closer to Tara as they walked.

"These women need some serious fashion help. Don't they know you want to tease and taunt a man not just lay it all out for them?" she said to Tara once they finally stopped by the bar.

"No, these are croweaters and sweet butts." Tara said.

"What?"

"They are women who only serve the guys."
"You mean your man goes with some of them and you don't mind?"
"Oh no, no no. These are for the single guys. I won't say a married man hasn't tried it once or twice but you just have to make it clear to your man you won't have that. If he loves you he won't."

"Oh, you scared me for a moment. I thought I was going to have to smack down on my new friends husband."

Tara looked at her and smiled. "Thanks." she said.

"Your welcome." Sad said knowing why Tara was thanking her.

"So what do you want to drink?" the prospect asked as they went up to the bar.

"Tequila chaser." Tara said.

"Wow, we even like the same drink." Sad said laughing.

"Make that two." Tara turned to the prospect and said.

They got their drinks and walked over to the pool tables since that was where Jax was standing with Opie, Donna, Bobby and some guy she had never met before.

"Hey," Tara said as they walked up.

Jax pulled her into his side and they watched as the new guy and Opie was shooting pool.

"What do you think?" Jax asked Sad.

"I think this is great. I love this place it's just so, I don't know the word but it is." she said laughing.

"I'm glad you like it."

About that time the new guy walked over.

"Who is this beautiful sight before my eyes?" Koz asked Jax.

"Oh Koz, this is Sad and Sad this is Koz. He's from the Tacoma chapter."

"Nice to meet you." she said seeing he was definitely good looking.

She turned to Tara and whispered in her ear. "Is all the guys in this club hot?" she asked

"Yeah, they are." Tara said smiling.

Before she knew it Koz was taking her arm and leading her to a private table. He said he wanted to get to know the beautiful woman who entered his life. It was very sweet that he was kind of a romantic. She couldn't help but feel a tingle on her skin and she slowly looked around the room. As she did she seen the man who had caught her eye right off. Happy. He was watching her with a glint in his eye. He looked angry and she wondered what he was angry at now.

"Hey, I love that outfit you have on." Koz said bringing her attention back to him.

"Thank you. I made it."

"You made it?"

"Yeah, I uh.. well I own a boutique. It specializes in negligees but I also have an after dark collection. "Well it is gorgeous and very sexy." he said leaning closer to her.
