Love Put A Gun In My Hand | Opie Winston | SOA

daddy's girl.

Jax had taken me straight to the club house, we didn't talk when we arrived until he told me he had to take care of some stuff & to hang around for Bobby, I didn't know what to do so I just began to wonder around. After sitting there for almost an hour I decided I'd go & find Juice, his bike was here but there was no other sign of him. My eyes landed on the shed & I figured that'd be the best place to start.

As I walked into the shed I overheard tig talking to juice "what do you want juice?" he said "you want to bond? You want get closer?" he sounded annoyed "okay we'll get close I'll put my balls in your mouth, you'll choke, I'll laugh, we'll be best friends." at that point I'd heard enough. I stormed around the corner with my arms crossed & looked between the two.
"or I'll shove my foot up your arse, you'll squeal like a little bitch, I'll laugh & we'll be best friends." I said. Tig looked at me shocked for a moment before pointing at me.
"that's the first time you've spoken to me since you got here, you should speak more often." he said clapping his hands together & smiling at me.
I turned to Juice who smiled at me as Tig walked out of the shed.
"thanks." he said.
I shook my head shoving my hands in my back pockets "don't mention it."
There was a pause for a moment as I looked around the room.
"you looking for Jax?" he asked. I shook my head.
"no, he brought me here I'm waiting for Bobby." I said rocking on my heels.
"Bobby?" juice asked clearly confused. I figured I would let the guys handle telling the club & just nodded in response.
"you wanna play some darts?" I asked hitching my thumb in the direction of the club house. He smiled at me instantly & nodded.
"yeah I'd love to." he said walking over to me holding his arm out to let me go first.
We played darts for hours waiting for Bobby, it would seem he & Gemma had a lot to discuss. Hanging out with Juice was easy though, we just clicked & I could tell we would be good friends.

Juice laughed loud as he threw the darts in the direction of Tig, it hit its mark & lodged itself in his arm. Juice almost fell over with laughter as tig just starred at the dart in shock. I began to giggle at his calm expression I couldn't help it, within a moment the giggle turned to full blown laughter as tig looked between the two of us.
"oh yeah-" he said sarcastically "you guys are so funny." he only increased our laughter, I began to wipe away tears. "would you two hyenas come over here & take it out." he said rolling his eyes, when we didn't make a move he ripped it from his arm & glared at us "I'll get you, both of you & I'll make it look like damn accident." he promised, juice straightened up suddenly & stopped laughing. I couldn't help but smirk at Tig though his threat meant nothing to me.
"bring it, tiggy boy." I challenged he looked at me & began to smile, he threw his hands in the air & chuckled slightly.
"where did you come from? I mean seriously, what factory made you? Because I want their number." he said. I laughed at him & turned as I heard the clubhouse door open & close behind me. Bobby stood in the doorway beaming at me. He turned to tig & narrowed his eyes.
"stop hitting on the girl." he said to tig "you're a menace." tig chuckled at the statement & shrugged "drink?" Bobby asked turning to me.
I nodded in agreement & headed over to the bar.

He poured me a shot of whisky & handed it to me. "I have no idea where to start." Bobby said as he lent on the counter. I looked at him for a moment before nodding it's hard to think where I could start he knew so little. There was a long pause as he downed his shot pouring another one for himself he cleared his throat & began "so what were your parents like?" he asked.
I looked down at the bench & downed my shot before replying "I didn't have parents so to say, I was in & out of homes." I said.
The look on his face was filled with sorrow "I'm sorry." he said quietly.
I shook my head at the statement "don't be. How could you have known." I replied. He wiped his hand down his face & gave a slow nod.
"what else? what did you do for fun?" he asked, I could tell after the first answer that he was worried to ask another question.
"I did a lot of-" I paused trying to find the word "favours for a lot of bad people." I shrugged "I suppose that's how I dealt with all the bullshit, I wanted to feel something those favours gave me that option."
He had poured me another shot somewhere along the lines & I picked it up to drink it.
He stumbled his words "were those f-favours of the sexual side?" he asked.
I choked on my drink & looked at him with wide eyes & chuckled "jesus, no. I was running drugs, burning shit & stealing cars. I was like a debt collector whether that was possessions, money or people I didn't care. It was for a cut of their profits. I was the best in my city." I said. Bobby nervously laughed & nodded.
"sorry I had to make sure it wasn't anything like that." he said. I nodded & smiled at him "so you've been to prison a lot then? Or were you so good that you didn't get caught?" he joked.
I lent back on the bar stool & chuckled "no, unfortunately I wasn't too good for prison. I've been in more cells than homes." I replied. He looked taken aback & sad but nodded.
"so it would turn out that you couldn't avoid this life even though you weren't born into it." he said rubbing his beard.
"oh no I was born into it, I just didn't know it. If there's such a thing a destiny I suppose this." I said motioning around the room "is mine."
Bobby nodded taking in what I had said "it's in your blood, kid." he said as he pulled a packet of cigarettes from his pockets sticking one in his mouth & offering me one, I nodded he lit his own before reaching over to light mine. We both took simultaneous drags & were quiet for a moment.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you, I would have been there if I had of known, you got to know that." he said shaking his head as he exhaled the smoke.
I nodded slowly "I know." I said & I did. I knew from the moment he realised that he would have been there for me. "so you have any other secret kids?" I joked taking another drag of my cigarette.
He wheezed out a laugh from swollowing the smoke when I said that "no, I have other kids but they're not a secret. Two boys. Their mum took them away from charming, from me-" he sounded sad but like he had long ago accepted the situation. "she didn't want them involved with this life, I get it. I still help her out though, whatever they need I send her money for it. Even though I'm not there I want them to know that I give a shit about them." he said.
I couldn't help but think that was sweet, he still took care of his kids. Most dad's I knew would just let them go & cut all ties but Bobby still wanted his kids to have a good life. He was a good father & it would seem I was lucky to have him.
"so what music do you like?" He asked. I laughed at the comment. "what?" he asked confused.
"we go from deep & meaningful to genres of music." I said still chuckling, I've never really had conversations that were so free flowing, I've never had many conversations at all. Bobby looked at me for a moment with a raised eyebrow clearly confused. "I like rock-" I began "any kind, I mean I listen to a lot of different music but it always comes back around to rock & metal." I said taking the last drag of my cigarette before putting it out in the ash tray beside me.
Bobby smiled "you're familiar with the King then?" he asked.
"what elvis? Yeah of course!" I said, I couldn't help it, it must have been the whisky that led me to my next move or maybe it was just the fact that I was a sucker for an Elvis song but I did it nonetheless "wise men say only fools rush in-" I sang smoothly. Bobby's eyes grew wide as I did. "-but I can't help falling in love with you-" I continued.
"shall I stay, would it be a sin?-" Bobby joined in we smiled at each other as we continued the next verse.
"if I can't help falling in love with you."
Bobby & I chuckled for a moment before he poured us another shot.
"you've got your old man's pipes, kid." he said proudly.
"you sing pops?" I asked after I took the shot.
He nodded with a smile "I do, I used to be an Elvis tribute at Charming's yearly fairs." he said.
"no way!" I said excitedly "like the costume & all? Oh. My. God. the wig?" I couldn't help but picture Bobby in the outfit & inwardly laughed at it, what a sight that must have been. "you've got to show me that some time!" I exclaimed.
He chuckled & nodded "I'll even let you try on the wig." he joked.
I dramatically placed my hand over my heart "I'd be honoured." I said. We both laughed loudly as the club house door flung open to reveal Ope.
We both looked at him stunned.
"good!" he said loudly rushing towards me "I've been worried sick about you! I hadn't heard anything from you or Jax all day." he rushed out as he scooped my cheeks up in his hands.
"Ope, I don't have a phone." I said looking up at him.
"You do now-" he said handing me one of his burner phones, it was a black flip phone "my number is on speed dial, I've put Jax & Tara's on there too." he said as I looked at it with distaste. "promise me you'll use it, if not just for my sake." he said as he dropped his arms with an eye roll. I nodded, I'd carry it around it's probably better if I did anyway.
"you'll have to put my number in there darlin'" Bobby said as he took a swig of his new found beer he must have picked up during ope's entrance. I smiled & nodded.
"I'm not sure how but if you could that'd be great." I said handing him the phone, it only took Bobby a second before he handed it back. There was a fourth name on the tiny screen that read 'dad' I looked at it & smiled. When I looked back up to him he winked at me & then turned to Ope.
"I wouldn't have let anything happen to her Ope." he said furrowing his brows at Opie.
"I was worried for all of you-" Opie began "where is Jax? & why doesn't he know how to answer his damn phone?" he said clearly still annoyed.
We both shook our heads at him as clueless as he was but Bobby answered "I don't know, brother. Last I checked he was still here." he said with a shrug. Opie nodded as he looked around.
"he must of gone home his bikes not out the front, I'll check in with him tomorrow I've got to get home I left the girls asleep & don't want to be gone to long. You giving Ace a lift home later?" he asked turning to Bobby who nodded.
"I'll get her home safe, don't wait up though." he said with a chuckle, Opie smiled at him in return. He turned to me & placed a lingering kiss on my forehead before turning to leave.
When he had left Bobby turned to me "so, you & Ope huh?" he asked playfully taking another sip of his beer. I raised my eyebrow at him & reached for another cigarette.
"yeah, me & Ope." I said confirming that we were together. He nodded with approval as he placed the beer on the bench.
