Thanks OutlawQueeenn for the review it was appreciated.
Decided to put out two more light chapters before stuff gets really real for the gang. So enjoy.
Nik POV
"Brianna." I spoke as I watched my sister attempt to wiggle into her favorite skinny jeans. "Give it up. You're going to hurt yourself and my nephew." I crossed my arms and watched her struggle to pull them off her legs. "Your ass is huge! You got a black girl ass."
"Shut up!" She glared at me. "It's fucking terrible."
"I bet." I sighed. "Having ass is a real struggle." I squeezed mine.
"It is." She chuckled. "I can't fit anything other than sweats or leggings. It's terrible. Happy gets mad when I wear the leggings."
"Then don't wear see through ones, or don't wear panties. I don't know what to fucking say." I shook my head. "Never been completely pregnant before."
"Oh yeah. Sorry." She flashed me a remorseful smile. "I forgot you got an abortion."
"I regret it." I twisted the strings on my sweatpants. "He or she would have been 6."
"Yeah." She whispered. "That feeling must be heavy."
"It is." I reached out and rubbed her belly. "I wish you were having a girl. Maybe his penis will fall off and he'll be a she at birth."
She laughed. "Or maybe there's a hidden twin."
"Oh that would be too dope!" I smiled. "You keeping your shit together after the whole Viktor thing?"
"Yeah, surprisingly." She stared at me. "I still feel some type of way but its no longer guilt. I have everyone reminding me about all the bad shit he did. I just hope mom goes down easier."
"Me too." I sighed. "How fucked up is it that we have to bump off our own parents?"
"Bruh, I ain't worried about nothin'." She smirked at me. "Happy is pissed at me, he found the receipt for the Coach store. He was like Brianna! Are you trying to go broke!?"
"To which you replied?" I cocked a brow at her.
"Nah, swerve. Miss me with all that, diss me then crawl back." She laughed. "He was like I don't know what the fuck you even said! Then he stormed off to the pond."
"You are an idiot." I deadpanned and rolled off the chaise lounge in her closet. "I can't believe you talk to him like that."
She shrugged. "He started it. It's his fault, I'm hormonal and a mess."
"Quoting lyrics badly to him doesn't do shit." I laughed.
"Makes his eyes get dark, like peering into an abyss." She pulled on a dress. "Greek goddess."
"Toga party starter kit." I smirked. "Looks fucking cute."
"I feel like I should wear those gold sandals but I have shit to do." She frown as she pulled on white sneakers.
"Fashion crisis. Is Jax like completely off limits?" I blinked at her.
"I don't think so. He's married but is a whore." She laughed. "I'd keep distance if I were you."
"Nah." I laughed. "I'm gonna conquer that train wreck."
"Whatever. Tara will beat your ass." She pulled off the sneakers and pulled on her gold sandals. "Braid my hair ya?"
"Yeah." I rolled my eyes as I grabbed her hair and started plaiting it. "More shield maiden than the Khaleesi."
"Thanks." She looked in the mirror. "Grecian shield maiden." She laughed.
"Exactly." I walked out of the closet and found Happy sitting on their bed. Bri walked out behind me and paused before walking over to him and wrapping her arms around his neck. "That's my cue to go."
"Later." Bri smiled. "Thanks."
"Welcome, I'm heading to the train wreck." I waved my phone.
"You shouldn't touch that." She called out.
"Dumb." I exhaled and looked at Lo. "So dumb, why would idiots do that shit?"
"He needed his bike." She laughed. "Wasn't that hard."
I frowned. "You trying to get the kid caught up? That shits not cool at all Laurence. Juice is all nice and you should leave him that way."
"I like him a lot." She smiled. "I really honestly do."
"He likes you more." I rubbed my palms together. "So don't fuck him over. Or whatever."
"Why do you care? Do you like him or something? If you do we're going to have some problems." She glared at me.
"Nah." I shook my head. "I care because he's important to my sister. So if you fuck him over or get him in deep shit you'll have two Hohrykovas on your ass. You got that?"
"Yeah." She swallowed hard. "I'm not trying to get him in trouble. I just want to have fun with him."
"Alright, well I gotta go to the clubhouse. Jax invited me." I smiled.
"Homewrecker." She rolled her eyes.
"Their home is already wrecked." I frowned.
"I guess so." She shrugged. "Can I come with you?"
"Yeah you can. Juice is there, he's actually working for once." I laughed.
"Really? The guys legit work?" She asked with a raised brow.
"Yeah they do." I smiled. "It's an actual body shop place."
"Cool." She nodded goofily.
"Let's ride out then lil mama." I smacked her ass as she walked ahead of me.
"Rude." She stuck her tongue out at me.
"If it's there, I must smack." I unlocked the car.
"Yeah, yeah whatever." She slid into the passenger seat. "This beamer is too clean."
"I know!" I beamed. "Best present I ever got from my sister."
"Spoiled." She clucked. "I'm jealous."
"I worked for it." I sighed as I pulled out the the parking lot of the apartment complex.
"How old are you anyways?" She blinked at my profile.
I shrugged. "I'm like twenty two." I smiled.
"What does that even mean?" She asked as she turned on the radio. "This is my song!"
I bopped my head along to Function by E-40. "It means how it sounds. I'm like twenty two."
"But you're not." She said with a loud sigh. "Or are you?"
"I'm not." I smirked. "I'm a few years older than that."
"Then what are you?" She switched the songs.
"I'm twenty five." I gave in. "It's cool."
"Then why say I'm like twenty two?" She poked my cheek.
"Because no one in this life needs to know my age. Let them assume I'm young dumb and full of come." I chuckled. "No one takes me seriously and it's a benefit to me almost every time."
"No one takes me serious." She shook her wild mane.
"That's because you're a pill popping nurse who is always getting in more trouble than situations call for." I gave her a side glance and rolled my eyes.
SOASOASOA
Juice POV
I stood with Jax as a matte purpleish reddish BMW pulled into a parking spot close to us. The engine cut off and Lo stepped out the passenger side and waved at us. Then Nik appeared at the driver's side and waved as well, pushing the sunglasses down her face.
"What's good?" Nik asked as she gave me a hug and kiss on the cheek.
"On my break." I smiled as Lo wrapped her arms around my neck and gave me a soft kiss.
"I am here to talk to your president." Nik smiled at Jax.
"Bye then." I shook my head as they wandered off to the play area.
"I missed you." Lo said. "How's work? I didn't even know you guys did work."
"We do when we need to. Keeps up appearances." I walked us to the picnic table. "How was work for you?"
"I didn't have work today." She shrugged and twisted her hair between her fingers. "I just got my nails done and brows waxed."
"Cute." I ran my thumbs over her perfectly arched and filled brows.
"I have work tomorrow, I got to go check on Natalie if you want to come with me and talk to her or whatever. I know you and her have shit between you." She smiled softly.
"You're not mad at that?" I studied her features. Her eyes were darker today.
"Nah, I mean how could I be?" She chuckled. "Heart wants what it wants and obviously I'm losing out on this aren't I?"
"I like you." I smiled. "I really do but something is telling me that Natalie is who I should be with."
"I like you too, if that helps and I hope we can continue to have fun together." She made a funny face at me. "I don't want this to get weird."
"How'd you know?" I ran a finger over her nose.
"I don't know, I mean obviously we sort of got serious hella hella fast and shit. Which was coo and everythin' but seein' your house, it was obviously she was still in it. Then, like now, your eyes got all big and sparkly when I mentioned her name." She made a sad face at me. "Plus Bri and Nik both kept warning me that you weren't over her."
"I broke up with her." I sighed.
"That doesn't mean shit. I broke up with Ryan Gosling, but he's still the bae." She laughed.
I snorted. "Ryan Gosling huh? He's the total opposite of me."
"Pretty ass white boy or pretty biker Puerto Rican? Hmmm. Choices." She tapped a nail against her dimpled chin. "I'm saying it's a tie."
"You're weird." I rolled my eyes. "We both know I'm better than Ryan."
"You got a bangin' body papi." She winked at me. "Those abs, those arms, that back, dat ass. Perfect."
I felt myself blush. "Stop. Just stop that right fuckin' now. You're trying to seduce me aren't you Lo?"
"Nah!" She waved her hands around. "I'm trying to burn the image of you naked into my brain. Since I'll never see it again."
"You're a weirdo for real." I rolled my eyes. "I'll send you nudes."
"Lucky me." She said as she pulled out her phone. "I gotta make a call real quick. You know Nik is about to bang it out with your president?"
"What?!" I yelled. "No fuckin' way!"
"Yeah, but shh. I didn't tell you shit." She held her phone to her ear. "Hey it's Lo, call me back."
"No answer?" I pointed at the phone.
"Nah, Esai never wants to answer his phone. It's ridiculous." She pouted.
"Why don't you date Esai?" I asked her as she spun her phone around on the table top.
She let out a screech. "Because if you haven't noticed, he's obsessed with Brianna. The way he looks at her, he's in love. Which is sad because she's in love with Happy."
"I never really see them together like that." I stood up. "I gotta finish up a few jobs."
"I'll sit here and wait for Nik." She smiled. "Lates."
"Later." I waved and headed back to the garage.
"Bri." I spoke as I stepped into the kitchen and found her at the table gluing stuff onto other stuff.
"Hey Juan." She looked up. "This is my niece Monica. We're doing arts and crafts."
"Niece?" I stared at her.
"Yeah, my brother's kid. They're in town for the funeral tomorrow." She sighed. "It's going to be big."
"Damn, already?" I asked her. "It barely just happened, the police question you even?"
"Not yet." She sighed. "The family wants him in the ground as soon as possible, can't fight it. Then the will reading is right after that, it's going to be a long and sorrowful day. "
"How are you holding up?" I took a seat next to her and started gluing stars onto a piece of paper.
"As well as I could be considering." She shook her head. "I'm trying to focus on the baby and new life instead of death and disaster."
"Auntie Kitty." Monica started. "You should name your baby Boots."
"I'll think about that." She laughed. "Don't know if Happy would like it though."
"Is his name actually Happy?" Monica asked as she poured glitter on her paper.
"Yeah it is." She blinked down at the lite girl. "It's a cool name huh?"
"So cool! I wanna change my name to Thunderstorm." The child smiled at me and Bri.
"His name is Juice." Bri laughed and pointed a ring clad finger at me.
"Is that true?!" Monica asked as her glittered hands touched the front of my shirt.
"It is." I smiled.
"That's weird but I like it." She smiled at me. "You got glitter on you, it's never coming off."
"Glitter is the herpes of the art supply world." Bri droned. "If you leave it, I'll wash it for you. Moni, you know I told you not to touch stuff with glitter on your hands."
"I'm sorry, I got excited." She hung her head down.
"It's alright." I rubbed her head. "I'll just let Bri wash it for me." I shrugged off my cut and pulled the shirt off and set it on the counter. Glad to be rid of it because my OCD was starting to boil.
"You got skulls on you!" She pointed at my chest.
Bri glared at her niece and said something in Russian that made the girl drop down to her seat and get back to her crafting. "What're you here for?" Bri asked me.
"The plan." I smiled. "Final details and stuff like that. Also, Lo and I broke up."
She chuckled. "You and Lo were bad for each other anyways, like what were you thinking? She's a pill monster."
I shrugged. "I thought there was something serious."
"Yeah, you two had a really good physical connection and the same taste in pills." She stared at me. "Lo was there to take care of you and to look out for you not for you to party it up with. I'm on the verge of firing her. Natalie is her last shot."
"What?" I started to panic.
"She's not going to hurt her." She smiled. "She has to look after her. Natalie is like a month or two or whatever from birth. Lo is to be by her side and ride it out until the end."
"I'm going with Lo." I nodded. "I want to be there for Natalie when she has Luna, alright?"
"I really don't care." She shrugged. "Monica what do we say about females who stab us in the back?"
"We don't fuck with them." Monica states with a coy smile. "If they do it once, they'll do it again."
"Omg, you can't teach her that stuff Brianna." I frowned at them both. "She's like six."
"I'm actually seven." Monica blinked up at me.
"Just as bad!" I shook my head at Bri.
"Uncle Happy!" Monica jumped from her chair and knocked it over. I turned around and saw the look of fear on his face as she wrapped her glitter and glue covered arms around him.
"Hey." He gruffed as he stood there as stiff as a board and looked down at the girl clinging to him.
"I made you a picture ya?" She grabbed his hand and lead him to where we sat.
"Let's see it." He picked it up and glitter poured off the side. "Is this me?"
"Yeah and that's Auntie Bri and your son Boots! I named him for you!" She poked at the paper. "Do you like it Hap?"
"Love it." He rubbed her head. "Make sure Bri sticks it on the fridge."
She looked at Bri and rattled something off in Russian that made both of them laugh and look at us. "She asked if you two are brothers."
"Yeah." Happy shook my head. "Not blood brothers, but we are brothers. He's the nerdy brother and I'm the cool brother."
I smiled. "True statement."
"She get you with the glitter?" He pointed at me.
"Yeah." I laughed.
"You gotta watch this one, she's sneaky like that." He set the drawing down. Bri you feeling better than earlier?"
"Yeah." She nodded. "Boots is just kicking up a storm."
"What was wrong earlier?" I gave Bri a soft look.
"She was getting sick and was running a fever, had to call in the doctor, now she's fine and gluing dumb shit to other dumb shit." He smirked.
"Oh!" Monica yelled. "You said naughty words!"
"I'm an adult. I'm allowed to say any naughty words I want to." He scowled down at her. "You wanna go play video games?" He pointed at me. "Let these weirdos be alone with glitter."
"Yeah." I stood up as he quickly gave Bri a kiss and hug. Then followed him into the basement which had been turned into a gym and media room.
"Gift, from Bri." He said as he sat in a recliner in front of the TV.
"This is a sick set up." I sat in a recliner next to him and grabbed a controller. "Didn't know you played video games."
"I don't." He shrugged as the ps4 symbol popped up on the screen. "First time for everything."
"You'll be addicted." I handed him a headset. "To talk shit to the others players in the game."
"Sounds good." He pulled it on and I did the same.
"Just shoot the bad guys, they have red writing over their heads." I instrcuted him as we did a few offline rounds of practice. "You ready?"
"Yeah I am." He smirked. "Let's get it."
After two hours of Call of Duty Happy tossed his controller down with a dissatisfied grunt and stood up.
"Good games." I followed suit. "Thanks for this Hap."
"We're brothers." He nodded at me. "Don't mention it."
"I have to tell you something." I swallowed hard. "It's about Bri, Nik, and their mom."
He paused mid stretch and looked at me with dark eyes. "What is it?"
"Well you see," I started to tell him everything about the plan Bri and Nik had brought me in on. His face went from mad to pure anger as he tensed up. I had to tell him and it would probably blow up in my face but I couldn't help it.
