"Who's the hot blonde with Gem?" Kozik asked as he joined Clay, Opie, and Jax.
"Juice's mystery girl." Jax chuckled, and they all shared a knowing look as Gemma stared her down. Jax was always popular with the ladies, his features are more than appealing. Handsome, shaggy blonde, cocky, blue eyes, and a smile that lights up a room. Meanwhile, his life long best friend Opie was just as handsome but in much different much more rugged way. Opie was a giant, with long brown hair, and cozy brown eyes you could disappear into. His smile could make the coldest hearts melt. Kozik followed the common theme of damaged and handsome men, blonde and beautiful with incredibly defined arms. Clay however, was older and bitter he may have been handsome at one point. His good looks had been replaced with anger and paranoia, that much wasn't hard to see.
The group watched as the small girl didn't back down from Gemma's harshness. "You think she's going to be a problem?" Clay asked, pressing his beer to his lips.
"Give her some time before you get rid of her, she could be fun." Jax shrugged and winked as he caught Andy's eye.
"They went grocery shopping together, and Andy's a little hard to get along with at first. You think Gemma is gonna kick her out?" Juice asked nervously as he joined the group, running his hands over his half bald head.
"Hey Juice," Andy walked over to the group and smiled, "Gemma said to have you introduce me to the guys."
"How are you two?" Juice questioned, looking at her questioningly.
"She's still sizing me up, but I'll win her over eventually." Andy shrugged, flashing an adorable smile at the group.
"I thought you said she was mean, Juice? Seems like a sweetheart to me." Jax said smirking at her.
"She's just playing nice until she gets to know you a little better," Juice rolled his eyes with a grin. "Anyway, this is Clay, the President of the MC, and Jax, the VP, then there's Opie, the dumb blonde from Tacoma is Kozik."
"Nice to meet you guys, I'm Andy."
"So you're the one thats been keeping Juicy Boy busy," a man with a thick accent and scars on his face walked over them. "Nice to meet ya lass. I'm Chibs."
"Uh, hi." Andy stuttered suddenly nervous, the man had a sweet face and a beautiful voice. She felt bad because she knew of this man. She knew of the things he'd gone through that he didn't deserve. "You're Kerrianne's dad."
"How in the bloody hell do you know that?" Chibs asked suddenly defensively.
"I went to boarding school with her a few years back. She was younger than me, kept a picture of you in her dorm." Andy explained recoiling from the group.
"How's she doing?" Chibs asked his voice suddenly filled with concern.
"She's good, a damn genius. She's gotta have the biggest brain of anyone I've ever known. I didn't get to know her very well, but she was sweet. She didn't take shit from anyone either." Andy said softly.
Chibs nodded and walked away.
A gruff voice broke up the silence, "Clay, I gotta talk to you." It was a man Andy hadn't been introduced to yet but she was guessing that by the way Juice was shooing her away from the group that she wasn't going to be introduced to him anytime soon.
"So where ya from, doll?" Tig asked, slinging his arm across her shoulders as they walked toward the bar. "Little bit of everywhere," she shrugged leaning into him. Something about him was comforting, in a very father figure type of way, like Chibs.
"You using Juice to get with a patch?" Tig asked dryly.
Andy laughed, "What's so great about getting with a patch? Seems like there's quite a bit of drama with you guys." She gestured to all the groups of people involved in their heated discussions.
"You didn't answer the question."
"No, Tig. I'm not using him for his patch. Besides we're just friends. If that is really a problem then I'll go now."
Andy started to head toward the door but Tig pulled her back, "He wants to keep you safe. Don't fuck it up."
"So it's short for Andromeda," Juice said causing Andy to take a deep breath.
"What's up?"
"Some Greek gangsters are causing us trouble over you. Think Juicy here is moving in on their territory." Jax explained and she rolled her eyes.
"My ex. Met him at boarding school. When school ended we lived together. His mafia changed him, he started getting violent so I left. I figured he wouldn't find me in some small town." Andy explained it all with a sigh. "I'll disappear, send these people home."
"It was nice to meet you guys," Andy said flashing a smile at them as she headed to the door. Juice looked around, looking to find a face that matched his level of concern. He found none.
"Wait! Sunshine, you can't go out there alone like that. It's not safe," Juice bolted across the clubhouse to block her from walking out the door.
"I'll be fine," Andy slipped her arms around Juice's middle and pulled him close for a split second. Then she worked her way around him and to the door. Meanwhile, Gemma had given Clay a look telling him she wanted to keep this girl.
"Wait!" Clay's voice boomed and all noise in the clubhouse died down. "Juice bring her to the garage, I want all the Sons in there now."
Juice had to pretty much drag Andy to the garage, she was trying to leave. Trying to make it easier on them.
"Look kid, we'll keep you safe, but it ain't for free-" Clay started, but Andy cut him off. "I can keep myself safe, don't waste your time."
Clay stepped forward grabbing her by her cheeks and forcing her to look up at him. "Don't interrupt me. You're in my home, you'll do as I say."
"Like I was saying," Clay continued as he let go of her, "you'll have to earn everything."
She interrupted again, "I'm not going to be one of those Cro Eaters Juice told me about."
Clay looked like he was about to snap, "No, you're not. We're going to send you with Kozik and Happy. You're going to hide out in Tacoma with another charter until we can get this taken care of. Think of what you'll be doing like a personal maid for the charter. Cleaning up after them, cooking, easy shit." Clay said but the smile on his face made Andy think it would be anything but easy.
"Vasilios Calathes." Andy said leaning into Juice's side.
"What?" Jax asked, his eyebrows knitted together in confusion.
"My ex? The one causing problems. That's his name." Andy was annoyed by the entire situation but she was willing to go with it if it meant she could get her ex off her back without having to uproot her life yet again.
"You'll leave now, it's late enough and dark enough out." Clay said with finality dripping from his voice.
The others cleared out of the room, only Juice, Andy, Kozik, and another man remained.
"This is Happy. One of the guys that's going to take you to Tacoma." Juice introduced Andy to him.
The man was bald and heavily tattooed, he had dark piercing eyes, and a toothpick lazily hanging from his mouth. He was tall, fairly skinny but he definitely had defined muscles.
"So I'm guessing I don't get to pack any of my stuff?" Andy sighed.
"We'll get you some shit when we're there." Kozik said and she nodded.
"We're going to go talk to Clay. Be ready in five." Kozik told her as he and Happy walked out leaving only Andy and Juice.
"Be good, Sunshine." Juice smiled at her. "You worry too much, Juicy." She said as she rolled her eyes at him.
"You'll be back before you know it," he promised her. "I'm a lot tougher than you think, I can handle this. Besides, you owe me tacos so I have to come back." She laughed and he pulled her into a hug.
"Aw, come on Juice. You know I'll be fine." She protested but leaned into the hug.
"Let's go!" Kozik yelled and banged on the garage door from the outside.
"Be safe." Andy whispered to Juice as she hurried out the door to meet Kozik.
She climbed on the back of Kozik's bike and slid on the extra helmet he'd given her. She couldn't help but check out the both of them. All of these bikers were unreasonably handsome, it was going to get her in trouble.
Andy sighed as they rode away, and she hoped Juice and Gemma would be okay.
