A Flicker of Redemption

Chapter 40

The Friday night party rolled around and it made Angelika groan. She hated these things and wished they could just go home and have a nice, quiet, relaxing evening watching TV instead of being at the clubhouse where all the half-naked whores were parading around trying to hook them a suga-daddy to take care of them. Seeing the young blonde's distaste for the crow eaters made Gemma smile. When Ima, one of the porn stars from the porn studio SAMCRO had gotten in bed with, showed up, Gemma was sure there would be a showdown between the two blonds.

Angelika was very protective over what she considered hers and if Ima dared put her hands on Happy, Gemma was certain the younger blond would have no problems in putting Ima in her place. The idea made Gemma very proud. She'd told Angelika on more than one occasion to not take anyone's shit and that included the whores that hung around the club that thought they were something simply because the Sons showed them a little attention. Angelika was sitting at the bar with Lyla getting to know one another a little more. The younger blond was opening up a little more to Lyla than she was used to opening up to people but was still very guarded. Ima walked in and looked around. Jax gave her a dirty look as their eyes met. Opie wouldn't look at her at all. Chibs and Bobby were both busy with a crow eater.

She wasn't interested in Juice at all. There was Happy sitting at a table with a tall, long-haired blond she thought she remembered being called Quinn. Happy was one she'd never been with and figured he needed a little company tonight. She sauntered up to their table and plopped herself in Happy's lap then wrapped an arm around his neck.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"You looked lonely." She stated before Angelika rushed over and shoved her off her man's lap.

"Stay the hell away from my man." Angelika growled.

"Your man? Look honey, just because you're new around here doesn't give you the right to say one is "yours"." Ima sneered.

"I'm going to tell you this one time and one time only, bitch, touch my 'ol man again and I will fuck you up." Angelika hissed making Happy smirk as he watched his 'ol lady taking care of business.

Ima moved to slap Angelika but the smaller woman grabbed her wrist as she whipped out her knife and held the blade to her throat.

"I tell you again to back off and I'll cut you from here (she pressed her knife to Ima's throat) all the way to here (She dragged the knife down Ima's body to her girly parts). Then I'll rip your intestines out for the birds to feast upon. Got it you two-dollar skank?" Angelika growled as Jax walked up to the table.

"You gonna put a stop to this?" Jax asked Happy.

"Nope. My 'ol lady knows how to take care of her shit." Happy smiled.

"Ok!" Ima held her hands up in the air, "Ok! Put the knife down."

"You gonna leave my 'ol man alone?" Angelika questioned.

"Yes." Ima retorted.

"Good. Stay away from him and we won't have any more problems." Angelika told her as she removed her knife from Ima's throat and put it back in her pocket.

"Your 'ol lady is something else." Quinn laughed as Angelika turned around to walk back to the bar where Lyla was still sitting.

Ima shoved her in anger making Angelika growl as she turned around. "Think you can take me, bitch?" Angelika hissed as Ima lunged at her. The smaller blond grabbed Ima by her hair and smashed her face against a table making everyone stop and watch the fight. When Ima stood up, one eye was already blackening and it was apparent her nose had broken. Ima went to throw a punch but Angelika blocked it before throwing her own punch blackening Ima's other eye.

"Alright ladies! Break it up!" Bobby finally intervened, "Ima, leave. Angelika, go back to where you were sitting!"

"Why do I have to leave?" Ima whined as she held her still-bleeding nose.

"Because Angelika is someone's 'ol lady and you're not." Bobby retorted as he pushed the porn star towards the door.

Angelika looked over at her 'ol man who just nodded at her with a smile before going back to whatever conversation he was having with Quinn. She sat back down with Lyla like nothing had happened.

"You know, she's not going to be able to work until her face heals up." Lyla told her.

"Not my problem. She shouldn't have attacked me." Angelika shrugged before taking a drink of her water.

"She was my friend, ya know. Until she seduced Opie one night." Lyla confessed, "We've worked things out since then but it took a hot minute."

"That whore will never come between me and Happy because she won't be getting close enough to touch him again." Angelika narrowed her eyes, "I'll make good on my threat if I absolutely have to."

"Remind me not to piss you off!" Lyla chuckled making Angelika smirk.

Happy kept a close eye on his 'ol lady who seemed content to sit and chat with Opie's 'ol lady at the bar. None of the crow eaters would come near him making him very proud. Angelika had asserted her dominance and established whose 'ol man he was so he wouldn't be bothered by the whores. He was very proud of her and how she'd handled the situation. Especially since no one really liked Ima anyways. Ever since she'd seduced Opie one night after he and Lyla had had a fight at home and he decided to spend the night at the clubhouse until they could cool off enough to talk through their problem. Ima was like a snake. A very charming, good-looking snake who latched onto anything with a kutte if she could. Angelika was having none of it! Happy knew he'd have to tell his 'ol lady just how proud of her he was later on.

The Tacoma Killah finally decided he wanted his shot in the ring. He stopped by where his 'ol lady and Lyla were chatting and grabbed her arm. She slid off her stool and followed Happy to the ring. He handed her his kutte, shirt, and rings before climbing into the ring. Although she hated seeing him get hit, she loved seeing him win in the ring. It made her very proud of him and increased her confidence that he could protect her when needed. She shouted for him while he was dodging swings which spurred the Killah on. One of the other 'ol ladies walked up and asked who she was rooting for. It surprised her when Angelika told her she was rooting for Happy.

"You're his 'ol lady or something?" The woman asked putting Angelika on the defensive immediately.

"Yeah. Why?" Angelika answered, eyes never leaving the ring.

"I like the way you handled that Ima bitch. Should of happened a long time ago. But these guys and those whores, ya know?" The other woman stated.

"If she knows what's good for her, she'll head my warning about staying the hell away from my man." Angelika responded earning a head nod in reply.

"Enjoy the fight." Theother woman stated before walking back to where she'd come from leavingAngelika to cheer for her 'ol man by herself.

He won his fight and hugged his opponent before slipping out of the ring and taking his belongings back from his 'ol lady. He draped his arm casually around her shoulder and walked back into the clubhouse all bloody and bruised. Kissing her forehead, he nodded towards Lyla before walking back to take a seat with Quinn once more. Lyla greeted her new friend as Angelika sat back down and asked for another bottle of water. Another woman slithered up to Happy and Angelika was about to slide off her seat to handle it but Happy simply pointed to her making the crow eater's eyes widen before she scurried off to find someone else. Happy winked at her before turning his attention back to Quinn and Chibs. Angelika smirked knowing she'd gotten the attention of all the whores hanging around the clubhouse that night.
