Chibs | This Life | Tig | Sons Of Anarchy || Book One

Invitation

Clara had caught wind that Jax was bringing home his boy Able tonight. She had been invited to come, everybody had been invited to come after all they were all family.

She had to admit that she was rather excited to see her cousin's son for the first time. She had heard a lot about the boy from Gemma but had yet to actually see him. All she knew is that he looks exactly like his father.

It was just after mid day when Clara and Chibs had retuened from the store and everyone was working in the garage like usual. Clara was working between two different cars as she ran back and forth tools for Tig and chibs for the majority of the day.

Basically if they ask for something she did it for them, which left her absolutely no time to work on anything else. She was unsure as to why they had her running them tools but one thing was certain she was no longer bored.

"So are you coming to the welcome home party tonight for Jax's boy?"

Tig asked while she handed him the five-by-eight wrench.

"I thought everyone was going?"

She stated simply. Tig looked over at her from underneath the car and gave her a raided brow.

"Yeah, I was asking if you were going though."

He looked at her and she looked at him. She knew that he was waiting on her answer but it was just so strange to her. His eyes were almost transfixing with how bright they were, it was terrifying to say the least.

"Yeah I guess. It'll give me a chance to ride my bike. First time riding it since I got here."

Tig gave her a questionable look.

"I thought you went to the store today with Chibs? Didn't you ride your bike then?"

She shrugged and shook her head.

"Naw, decided to ride bitch instead."

Tig gave her a rather surprised look not expecting her to say that since she had her own bike -- her father's bike.

"What? I enjoy just riding sometimes. It's relaxing if I can just sit there and wrap my arms around someone else for a change. Enjoy the scenery ya know?"

No, Tigs didn't know what she was talking about. He had never really rode on the back with anybody unless he absolutely had to, and most the time it was for a quick getaway when he was unable to ride his own bike for the cause. And when you're trying to get away scenery is the last thing you think about.

"So, you ride bitch with anybody sweetheart?"

He asked in a mocking tone. She rolled her eyes remembering she had called him that on their last tow together.

"Only good lookin people."

She chuckled seeing Tig's shocked expression as it was replaced with a grin before being called away by Chibs who needed her help with something.

As the day progressed Tigs ended up having to leave for some type of Club work which left her and Chibs alone for the time being. Although truth be told he was probably left behind just to babysit her.

"Oi lass, you sure you know what yer doin'?"

Chibs asked with the largest shit eating grin he could muster spread all across his face as he watched the woman before him trying her damnedest to get a bolt off so the back bumper would come off to be replaced.

She was struggling with it no doubt about it, but she was too damn stubborn to allow anyone else to help, let alone a senior member of the club.

"Yeah I got it. If I could just get this damn rust to come off!"

She grunted as she pulled the wrench around as much as she could. She had it on but due to the fact that there was so much rust it kept slipping and didn't want to stay.

Chibs straddled the chair amused. He had his arms crossed over his chest as his eyes were fixated on her from the moment she was standing to the moment she got down on all fours and had her butt up in the air leaning to the side underneath the car and was propped up on one elbow while she used her other hand to try and work the bolt free.

It was indeed a wonderful sight to see for him. She took after her uncle far too much and even her dad some when it came to asking for help, she didn't know how. She wanted to do it herself, he didn't know if she wanted to prove herself or she was just too damn stubborn for the help. He figured it was probably both.

He couldn't help but continued to grin as he heard her cussing like a sailor and trying to get the bolt off. He watched as she would wiggle back and forth from one side to another which in turn wiggled her butt. He knew that she wasn't doing it on purpose because she was too fixated on the bolt, but damn did he enjoy the view right now.

Finally after hearing a loud noise crack from where she was he heard a loud triumphant shout as she crawled back from underneath the car. Standing up she dusted off her work pants and turned around holding up the bolt in between her two fingers. Sure enough it was rusted to almost being non-existent.

But that wasn't what Chibs was currently focused on right now. Instead he was looking at her face and couldn't help but laugh loudly and slap his knee as he did so. She gave him a confused and slightly worried look wondering what he was laughing about so intently.

He pushed himself up from the chair and it rolled across the floor slightly. Making his way over to her his laughter died down slightly to only chuckles that move to shoulders and his chest as he looked down at her.

"What's so damn funny?"

She asked. Chibs only shook his head before he ran his finger across her cheek and pulled it back to reveal a type of black suit.

"Oh! I see! It's funny because I'm covered in my work huh!"

She said as she used the bottom of her work shirt to wipe away the stuff all over her face. When she thought she had gotten it all she looked back up to Chibs, who still wore that same grin.

"Did I not get it all?"

"Nay lass, you got it."

She sighed deeply, happy that her face was clean and maybe now Chibs would shut up.

"Are you going to the gatherin' tonight?"

Chibs asked, probably meaning Able's welcome home party. She nodded, finding it curious that he was the second person to ask her that.

"Gunna be ridin' yer own this time?"

He asked her as they turned back to the car. She looked over at Chibs who was wiping his hands clean from her face, he was looking at her waiting for an answer.

"Why? You offering another ride?"

She asked wondering if he was actually offering. He looked around the garage for a moment before he shrugged his shoulder and looked back at her.

"Aye, might be."

She could only smile. She thought it was sweet of Chibs inviting her to ride with him to the party.

"Maybe some other time. I'd really like to ride my own -- she's getting lonely out there all by herself."

Clara chuckled tilting her head toward the open bay door and to her bike. Chibs nodded as he finished up cleaning his hands.

"Alrighty then. But my offer will always be a standin' invite if ya' be havin' the need to."

She smiled toward him and nodded. She couldn't believe just how nice Chibs could actually be sometimes.
