Lowmans baby

Chapter four

I was laying down on my back on my bed staring up at the ceiling just thinking when I knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. "Come in" I said, the door handle wobbled then the door soon opened revealing the blonde hair man I saw earlier "uh hi didn't mean to barge in I just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Jax" he held out his hand to me "Talia" I simply responded.

"Clay and Juice told me to tell you that there's gonna be a party tonight if you wanna join" he scratched the back of his head "sure" I responded "alright nice" he said and turned around "by the way" he said and turned around "don't let the nomads get to close to ya" he said then shut my door.

I went to my suitcase that was filled with my wardrobe and opened it up, I pulled out something other then my jeans and tank top, I had a short jet black skin tight dress that cut off mid thigh and was strapless, and flung it onto my bed. I searched through another box full of shoes and grabbed some black heels, then grabbed my makeup bag. I fixed my eye shadow and made my face a little bit better I then spreaded a nude coloured lipstick over my lips to seal the look.

I walked out of my room to the bar area to grab myself something to drink, I went over and sat in front of Half Sack "can you get me some whiskey?" I asked politely as he leaned down below the bar and came back up with the bottle and an empty glass, he poured the whiskey and slid it over to me "thanks" I mumbled. "You look good" Half Sack said to break the silence, I was gonna respond when I heard a voice from behind me "Juice will have your head if he catches you flirting with his sister" I heard, it was an old man with tubes going up his nose he sat down beside me.

"I-I wasn't Piney i swear" Sack stampeded "I'm just teasing" the old man teased "what's your name sweetie" he asked me kindly "Talia Ortiz" "that's a pretty name" he smiled at me as I blushed "it's weird" he said to me "what is?" I asked confused "how Juice is fucking hideous but you're gorgeous" I giggled a little bit at his comment "and you say I flirt to much" Half Sack said which made all of us laugh at him.

Once the clock reached 10 everyone started flooding in waiting for the party to start, including the nomads. I looked over at Half Sack "I'm gonna go get changed I'll be right back" he nodded at me and I went to my room, shutting the door behind me. I took off my shirt and jeans then my wedges and socks until I was just in my underwear, I slipped on the dress and the heels but I couldn't zip up my dress past my lower back.

I opened my door and peaked in the hall to find someone, to my luck I saw the tall man that had helped me earlier and who I saw on the wall as Harry. "Um excuse me Harry?" I asked but he just looked at me confused but then laughed "just call me Opie" he laughed "alright, can you help me?" I asked him "with what?" He asked, I turned around "my dress won't zip up" I was a little embarrassed but didn't care "uh sure" he grabbed the zipper and pulled it up all the way.

I turned around to face him "thanks" I said as he just nodded at me and left, I went back to my room and straightened my hair then sprayed some perfume on my neck and wrists. I looked at myself in the mirror one last time before leaving and into the party that was down the hall.

I made my way down the hall slowly just to get used to my heels, the closer I got to the bar the louder the music was getting and so was the laughter of drunken men. To avoid the drunken idiots I went to the bar to find Half Sack "hey" I said loud enough so he could hear me "hey- wow you look amazing" he commented "awe thanks" I blushed "well what can I get you?" He asked me  I was yet again interrupted by a man "give us two beers please" I looked over to a man that had sat down beside me and gave a devil grin.

His hair was short, almost bald but still had some hair, he was built and had piercing green eyes and a slight stubble growing on his chin. Half Sack gave a worried look to me as if asking if it was ok, I nodded to him and he handed us our beers. "You don't look like the skank crow eaters in here, what's your name" he leaned in close to me so that I could smell the mix of beer and smoke on his breath "Talia" I said "wow pretty name for a pretty face" he laughed. It was obvious he was drunk and Sack tried to stay close to me so that he could make sure I was ok but other people needed his help.

"You new here?someones old lady" he asked "uh no and I just got here" I replied "oh well why don't I give you a taste of what a real man is like" he tried to lean into me but I put my hands on his chest and pushed him off of me, before I could yell at him for being a pig, I went outside for a smoke. I got outside and the only people that were outside were me and another guy that I didn't recognize. I walked up to the man "can I have a smoke?" I asked him, it was kinda awkward now that I said it out loud. He handed me a smoke and lit it without saying a word.

"Thanks" I said when I blew out some smoke, the man just nodded his head. We smoked in silence and he never said a word I looked up at him, he seemed intriguing to me for some reason "what's your name?" I asked him "Happy" he said, his voice was rough and low "nice name" I chuckled and blew out some more smoke. He didn't bother to ask my name and I guess I didn't care either "are you a nomad?" I asked, he looked up at me but I could barley make out his face with the dark of the night and he smoke.

"Yeah" he said simply I just nodded my head, he looked back up at me irritated and flicked his smoke at the ground towards my feet "look I ain't in the mood tonight alright, go find someone else to fuck" he hissed at me. I was stunned and embarrassed "excuse me?" I asked him not really understanding what he meant "don't play dumb girlie, we all know what you are" he spat "you're just like every other crow eater in this fucking shit hole" his anger hurt me but I didn't know why "I'm not a crow eater" I said "my name is Talia Ortiz, I'm Juices sister, and now I know that every time I see your face I'll recognize you as a judgmental asshole" I threw my cigarette at his chest and walked away leaving him stunned.

I walked past drunken idiots and went to my room at the end of the hall and kicked off my heels, I practically threw myself on the bed and fell asleep thinking about Happy.

Fucking prick
