49.

As Tara was putting the last touches that Sad wanted done she heard the roar of her man's bike. She smiled to herself when she looked out and seen Happy walking besides Jax.

"Hey you." she said as she leaned up and kissed him.

"Hey, how is everything?" he asked.

"Good. Everything is set up I just wish she was in a happier place." Tara said as she looked up to see Happy.

"Where is she?" was the only thing he said to Tara.

"She's in the back room. But if you are going to hurt her anymore Happy I won't let you back there." Tara said.

"It's okay babe. I think Happy needs to do this." Jax said calming Tara down.

She watched as Happy the one man she knew that was completely sure of himself take a deep breath before walking to the back looking very unsure.

Once Happy walked to the back room he seen her with her back to him. She was arranging something on a mannequin. He watched her for a second before he walked towards her. She was deep in thought and never heard anything.

"Hey." he said softly.

She didn't hear him as she was in her own mind at the moment.

He reached out and touched her shoulder to get her attention.

She jumped and turned to him and before he knew what was happening she kicked him hard in the groin. Happy doubled over.

She looked at him and realized what happened.

"I'm sorry." she said.

He was struggling to catch his breath. He held his hand up to her. "It's fine." he was finally able to say.

"I didn't know who it was. I just reacted."

"No, um.. "still struggling to catch his breath. "It's all good. I deserved that."

"Yeah, You kind of did." she finally said.

Once he caught his breath and was able to talk normally again he sat down in a chair beside her.

"I need to talk to you for a minute." he said.

"Oh? You want to talk to me? Why?" she said getting nervous.

"I'm sorry. I know I acted like a fool. It just threw me."
"What threw you?"

"You. You threw me. The feelings you brought out in me."
"I'm not understanding." she said making it as hard as she could. She deserved a complete explanation.

"I like you. I like you a lot. I've never felt this for anyone before. I know I said I didn't and I lied, I was afraid to face whatever this is." he said his hands waving between the two. "Hell I'm still afraid."

She finally smiled realizing what he was saying.

"You know you don't have to be afraid of me."

"Not of you darling, of what I feel for you."

"I'm scared too you know."

"Why?"

"Because I've never felt this strongly about anyone so fast before."

"So what do you want to do about this?" he asked with his head down not wanting to see if she was going to reject him.

"Well, what I want to do is kiss you and never let you go." she bravely said.

"Even after everything?"

"Yeah, Happy, I want to see where this takes us."
"Me too." he said standing up and pulling her into his arms. "I want to see what those sweet looking lips taste like." before he pulled her into a deep kiss. Before she knew what was happening they were having their tongues mating together. She loved the taste of his mouth. He finally pulled away letting them both catch their breaths.

"So what happens now?" she asked breathless.

"I want you Sad, I want you something bad."

"I want you too Happy."

"They are all going to know you are mine. Is that okay with you?" he finally asked her.

"Yeah, I'm more than okay with that." she said as he kissed her once again.

They finally broke apart and walked out towards Tara and Jax.

"Well it looks like we're ready." she said to Tara and Jax as they walked out to the room.

"Yeah, I guess it does." Tara said smiling as she seen the possessive way that Happy was with Sad.

"Let's open the doors." Jax said smiling.

Once the doors opened Sad was surprised at the amount of people that started showing up. Happy had joined some of the guys from the club but she could feel his eyes on her. She felt like she could float away the way he made her feel.

"Hey you." Donna said walking up behind her.

"Hi."

"You look really happy. I'm glad." Donna said.

"Yeah, finally, I truly am."

After the store closed for the night, she locked the doors and turned to her friends and their spouses.

"Sad, can I talk to you a minute?" Jax asked.

"Sure, but why not talk in front of everybody?" she asked.

"I guess I could. They all know what I want to discuss. I just didn't want to put you in an uncomfortable position if you didn't like it."

"It's fine. Go ahead." Sad said.

"Okay, well the club has been looking into investing in some more legal businesses. We are trying our best to get out of the illegal business. I think this one could be very lucrative. So I was wondering if you were into having some investors?"

Sad looked at all of them and then turned to Jax.

"I would love it. But on one condition."
Jax looked at her and he thought he knew what she was going to say.

"Yeah, what's that?"

"I want Tara and Donna to be the front counsel of investors. They know what would be acceptable to the club and they have you two to throw the ideas at."

Jax looked at Tara and seen her nodding at him with a huge smile on her face, then he looked at Donna and seen the same. He faced Opie in question before he said anything. Opie nodded his head.

"Okay, it's a deal." Jax finally said.

Tara let out a squeal and jumped up in his arms kissing him thoroughly. "If I knew this was what it took to get you to kiss me like that I would have done it sooner." Jax said.

"I'll show you more later." she whispered in his ear.

"Okay, then. I think it's time Tara and I go." he said with a smile, grabbing her arm and turning her to the door.

Happy and Opie chuckled at the two as they seen Jax dragging his woman out the door.

"Yeah, us too." Donna said smiling. Opie looked at her and quickly picked her up and carried her out.

"So darling, you ready to go?" Happy asked.

"Oh yeah." she said reaching up to bring his lips down to hers. She squealed when he picked her up and carried her out to his bike.
