Lowmans baby

Chapter eleven

I heard the high pitch sound of the dismissal bell which was then followed by loud screeching of the chairs scratching the floor as kids started to flood out of the classroom. I opened my phone to see that the time read 4:03 pm "Happy might be here" I mumbled and slipped my phone back into the pocket of my jeans, I grabbed my books and shoved them  into my back pack and zipped it up.

I slung one strap of my back pack over my shoulder and made my way out of the class but stopped when my professor called me "hey uh Talia" he said, I turned around to face him. My professor was older, close to retirement probably, he had no hair left and wore thick brimmed glasses that looked beyond too dirty for anyone to see out of.

"Yes Mr.Bunsen" I said "it's been bothering me most of class and I don't mean to assume anything but" he paused and looked around almost trying to make sure that no one sees us. "I saw you pull up with that man this morning, he's part of the Sons right?" He asked and I kinda stirred at the question "yes" I answered questionably "do you need me to call someone for you?" He asked, now I was just confused "pardon me?" I asked "is he the one who did that to your eye?" He asked pointing to my now very noticeable bruise around my eye.

"Oh no I just fell this morning" I chuckled but all he did was nod "well sorry to uh be a bother" I lightly smiled and walked out of the class as fast as I could to avoid any more awkward conversation. I made my way to the front doors of the school and looked around the parking lot where Happy dropped me off but couldn't see him or a motorcycle anywhere, I opened my phone and texted Happy.

You here yet? I just finished class.

The message sent and I placed my phone back into the pocket that I pulled it out of, I adjusted my back pack straps and started to pace around a little bit. The noise of a car made me stop myself and look to see a silver truck pull up beside me, I watched as the window rolled down. And revealed one of the guys who were staring at me this morning "hey, you need a lift?" He asked with a smirk "uh no but thanks" I replied "oh you waiting for a boyfriend or something?" He asked.

"No just a friend" I was beginning to feel unsettled now with his presence and his eyes looking me up and down "oh so you don't got a boyfriend" he laughed and leaned out his window some more "I don't think that's really any of your concern" I finally snapped. The man got out of the truck and walked towards me a little bit "well girly, when I see a fine ass like you walking around I like to know if I can tap that" he laughed after he said it, like it was some kind of joke.

I didn't find it as amusing as he did.

"Well sorry I'm not that kind of girl" I stated "you don't know that yet" he had stepped closer to me, so close that he reached out and tried to brush the back of his hand across my cheek. I jumped back and slapped his hand away "don't touch me" I said getting more and more pissed off. The engine of a motorcycle got both of our attention and soon the man ran back to his truck and left, Happy pulled up beside me "who was that?" He asked "uh he thought I was someone else" I lied and he could tell too but decided to brush it off.

"Alright" he handed me a helmet as I put it on over my head the same way I did this morning. I lifted my leg over the seat and wrapped my arms around Happy "you ready?" He asked "uh yeah" I responded. He started up the bike again and we soon sped off the campus, a little while into driving I began to grow tired do to the tiring day of countless of boring work. I leaned forward and rested my head on Happy's back, I felt him shift a little bit in his seat almost uncomfortable with me but I didn't care I just wanted something to substitute for a pillow.

The rest of the drive home was quiet, except for the rumble of the motorcycle, but it felt peaceful with the wind blowing in my face. I nearly fell asleep a couple of times but managed to keep myself awake, when we pulled into the parking lot of the shop Juice was standing by a picnic table in front of the club house waiting for me.

I let go of Happy's waist and took off the helmet and setting it on the seat, I walked up to Juice and gave him a hug "how was school" he asked "boring as always" I responded plainly "kinda figured it would be" he laughed
"What're you going to school for anyway?" I heard Happy's voice behind me, I stood up straight when I faced him "phycology, I'm gonna be here for six months just doing a councillor program then going to somewhere in New York to work on getting my PHD" I responded feeling very proud of myself and what I had hoped to accomplish.

"That's some complex shit girly" Happy said and all I could do was shrug in response but I could see Juice smiling at me. We walked inside the club house and saw Bobby, Piney, and Tig sitting at the bar sharing a bottle of whiskey "Hey Talia" Piney said "hi" I said, if I was being completely honest I was still shy around them "how was school kid?" Tig asked "it was ok" I replied.

I chatted for a while with the guys before I saw it read 7:00 on the wall clock "hey juice" I said to get my brothers attention, he looked over at me with a small glass of whiskey in his hand "I'm going for a run, I'll be back in a little while" I said as I walked to my room and heard Juice say an 'okay' as I made my way down the hall. I opened up my room and stepped inside, I quickly got undressed so that I was only in my bra and panties, I went over to my dresser and pulled out a pair of black Under Armour shorts, a baby blue sports bra, and my running shoes.

I tied my shoes and walked out my room door and to the bar, Juices eyes were the first ones to dart towards me "where the fuck are your clothes?" He said in panic soon everyone's eyes were now looking at me "what're you talking about?" I asked "you're barley wearing anything" Juice commented again "I'm not complaining" commented Tig "shut up" Juice spat back at him. "I'm not 16 anymore Juice, you're gonna have to grow up" I made my way across the bar "I have grown up, you just" he stopped and looked at me.

"I don't want you to" he said "as sweet as that is, you're just gonna have to live with it" I said and walked out the door. I thought about what Juice said .

Some sad song he's got there.
