I sat behind Filip and wrapped my arms around his waist and laid my head on his back he started the motorcycle. He grabbed one of my hands and interlocked it with his. I sighed in content as we drove away from the warehouse and on our way back home.

It's been 2 weeks since the situation with Joe. I decided to stay away from SAMCRO and take time for myself . The guilt of killing Juilio was eating at me ever since I found out the truth. He didn't deserve to be used because of me nd I can't help but feel like this is my fault. Filip has tried to check in on me but I refused to see him or the club even Jax. Enough people have died and everyone I get close to ends up that way. I guess in this line of work it comes with the job. I just wish things were different. But I guess now that Joe is finally gone I can  move on. My focus was on getting business back in order. Hector was able to find a facility outside of Charming ducked off in the woods away from enemies and cops. Pretty soon my guys will be able to transfer everything to the facility while I deal with upcoming deals. I got a text from Jax wanting me to come to the clubhouse for Halfsacks fight. He didn't give me much detail but I'm pretty sure Chibs will be there.

It was still daylight when I pulled into the clubhouse parking lot. A few of  the guys were outside watching Halfsack train while Chibs coached him. At the sound of my motorcycle pulling in, heads turned when I cut the engine. I wore a simple white crop top with a small cut v-neck with black leather skinny jeans. My hair blew gently in the wind as I got off the bike. Clay, Jax, Tig, and Bobby where in a huddle talking while Chibs started walking towards me. I have to admit he looks so good with his muscles all out. I met him half way but what I didn't expect was for him to pick me up nd hug me . Immediately I hugged back happy to be in his arms. "Hello love I see Jackie boy convinced you to come see prospects fight", Chibs said placing me back on the ground. I smiled a little feeling guilty for avoiding him.  "Yea I'm always down to see a good fight, you training him?". He nodded in response taking a swing of his beer. "Well from the looks of it he's got a good trainer", I said glancing over at Halfsack punching the bag by the ring. Chibs kept his eyes on me watching me closely. " aye lass but he has a long way to go, he's cocky, needs ta focus if he doesn't wanna get put out on his arse tonight. There's a lot of shite riding on this". He said sighing and taking off his glasses to rub his eyes in frustration before putting them back on. I stepped forward and grabbed his hand and squeezed gently, " You wanna talk about it Filip." He sighed and took another swing of his beer, "The club is in some shite, we have to come up with 80k by Friday, if this fight goes right then it could be it but I don't know Evangeline I gotta whip prospect into shape." My eyes widened,  honestly I don't know how there gonna get that much by the deadline. "Does Clay have a plan or what?" "Yes we were talking bout it before you pulled in". I nodded in understanding, then there was a moment of silence between us. "Listen Filip about what happened I just wanna say-". Before I could say anything he interrupted me and waved it off. "It's ok lass we can talk later, come on everyone's waiting to see you." I nodded and walked side by side towards the guys. Upon my arrival I was greeted with hugs, I can see I was missed. "Hey Evie you ready to see the fight? " I smirked at Bobby, "yeah it's been awhile since I seen a good fight, whose Halfsack fighting?". "Oh just some Mexican, if he wins we walk away with 15k but if he loses we'll get 10 times that much." I frowned at Clay when he replied, turning my head towards Halfsack, he was by the ring sitting on a bench talking to a croweater, she must be that girl Gemma told me about tht Clay messed with in Nevada. I remember Gemma telling me about Cherry, when we went out to get Abel some baby clothes, that's the day she hit that girl with a skateboard. And I must say she really did a number on her nose. I can't say I blame Gemma for being pissed, hell I'd do the same but I guess everything calmed down since I been gone. Anyway I turned back to the conversation at hand, "-we can control the outcome of this fight, it could be a big payday." Tigs exclaimed to the guys explaining what happened last year bout another fight . Filip stood next to me handing me a beer as the guys tried to come up with a way to triple the money for this fight. I thanked him and took a sip. I mean it's a good idea for the club but I think I will bet on Halfsack tonight, just for fun. "Take 50 grand I want to see it triple, your gonna train him alright, no booze, no weed, no pussy, that includes the Nevada sweet butt , that little tart can sit on the counter and cool off", clay said pointing to Chibs as everyone agreed. After that everyone started to disperse, I followed Filip as he went back to coaching Halfsack, but not before I noticed Clay, Jax and Tigs left in a hurry. I shook my head and turned back to watch the prospect train. As he trained with Lowell the mechanic I noticed something was off and so did Filip. "Come on kid get in there, hold your ground", Filip yelled out getting frustrated at Halfsack being halfassed with his punches. I put a hand on his shoulder and he stopped to look at me. "Maybe you should let me give it a try I got a lil experienced in boxing". Filip raised his eyebrows in shock, "Really now you think you can take him lass." I nodded smirking, "yea he's being to cocky if he want this fight to go right he need to listen". Filip looked at me for a minute before nodding. "You don't think I can handle Halfsack Filip?" I asked tying my hair up in a bun, he chuckled and shook his head, "No lass I'm more worried bout the prospect then you, go kick his arse." And with that I smirked and got in the ring. Halfsack stopped fighting and immediately start to protest. "Woah chibs wtf is this why is she getting in here?" "She's gonna teach you a few things relax ye fighting a junkie prospect, ye need real experience." The prospect frowned at the remark as Bobby gave me the gloves dismissing Lowell out of the ring. " I'm not fighting a girl", he protested still as Filip smirked at his uneasiness.   Before he could say anything I spoke up. "Why are you scared tht I'll kick your ass"?Halfsack looked at me I'm disbelief, " No I-I just have experience already I don't need to fight you". "So you are a pussy that's what your saying." Filip and Bobby chuckled at my remark as the prospect got more flustered, " no I-", " look Halfsack your being too cocky and your stance is off balance, one punch and your ass is on the ground. Watch" I stood across from him and posted up the correct way,he followed and did the same. "Good now punch me" "what?!" "Go ahead it's fine" he shook his head and them attempted to throw a left hook, i in turn dodged with ease and retaliated with a swift punch to his side that was exposed causing him to wince and step back holding his side. "Your punches are half-assed you need to understand where ever you intend to hit you better do it with the intention to take down your opponent. Again" he nodded and got back into position, after a few tries he starts to get better. "Ok your doing good just stay focused, I might bet on you tonight".  I started to walk away taking off my gloves since I'm pretty much done but a plan struck my mind and I smirked at Filip, who was confused. My back was turned to Halfsack as he stepped closer to me. He seemed clueless. "Really you would bet on me? I thought you would bet on the other guy ." I frowned and before he could do anything I swiftly swept his legs from under him making him fall on his ass. He groaned and looked up at me in disbelief as Filip yelled out in surprise and started cracking up with  Bobby. I stood over Halfsack, "listen kid never loose focus no matter what goes on around you, keep that guard up." With that I helped him up and exited the ring. Filip grabbed my hand and helped me down. " That was some show lass, you ever been in a boxing match?" I shook my head no as Cherry went to Halfsack aid, not before glaring at me. I glared back, "no but I've been in street fights..men and women" Filip noticed my glare at the girl, "aye I would've love to see that cat fight love, I put my money on you anytime ." He flirted grabbing me by my waist and pulling me close taking my attention off the girl and onto him. I smiled as he gave me a quick kiss on the forehead. I pulled away and grabbed his hand leading him to the bench, before I could sit down next to him he grabbed me making me yell out in surprise and sat me on his lap. His hand was resting around my waist as his other had had a beer. "Oi get your arse out the ring and do jumping jacks, don't have all day prospect!" Filip yelled at the boy causing him to jump and  obey. I chuckled and leaned into Filip relaxing while we watched Halfsack train more.

That was until Jax, Clay and Tig came back. From the looks at they're face it's not good. All Jax said was chapel as they walked past us and went into the club house. Filip sighed annoyed that he gotta go. "It's ok I'll be right here when you get back," I reassured him and kissed his cheek before getting up. He gave me a small smile and stood as well, "I won't be long". And with that he and the rest of the guys went inside for chapel while I sat back down and waited.

Later that night...
Dozens of people showed up at the clubhouse for the fight. I stood close to Filip as the match began. Tell and screams ranged out all around me, men and women cheering for there favorite fighter. During the rounds Halfsack was holding his on better than I thought he would. I guess my advice helped along with Filip's training. I looked around and noticed Clay and Cherry were sitting close by. I frowned as clay got close to her, she seemed uncomfortable . I hope it wasn't what I think it was but to my surprise she smiled big and embraced Clay. It seemed im not the only one to notice the two. Halfsack turned from joyous to complete rage as his opponent stood back up and before anyone could stop him Halfsack head butted and uppercut the guy making him fall out unconscious. The fight was done and Filip and Tig hurried into the ring to pull Halfsack back. I shook my head and took a seat, well I'm glad he won but the club didn't gain much from the prospect victory. Much later when the crowd dispersed and left, I received my winnings from the match. I noticed Tig and Clay getting into a van, Filip and Halfsack were close behind. "Hey Clay sorry bout the fight,I-", Halfsack started but  Clay stopped him by raising a hand. "Don't worry bout it kid, at least u got the girl right."He nodded  smiling but it didn't last long when Filip spoke. "You still owe up 35k by Friday, don't think ye off the hook prospect." The prospect nodded and walked away with Cherry sulking. I stood back ways away and let the guys finish talking. Soon after Filip said his goodbyes to the guys as they drove off. Taking that as my cue, I walked towards him. He turned around and gave me a small smile behind those tired eyes. " Hey you heading out lass?"  "Yea but I figured I stuck around a little in case you need any help cleaning." Filip stepped a little closer "no it's ok, the prospects and croweaters clean, don't worry bout it." I nodded and soon there was silence between us. " hey Filip ", "yea lass?" "I just wanna say that I'm sorry I've been avoiding you these last two weeks.." I kept my eyes casted downward to the ground as he stayed silent as I continued. "After everything that happens with Joe, Eli,and-and Julio I just needed time to myself. To think, he didn't have to die because of my past Filip. Joe manipulated him and used him to get to me. I should've known something was up beforehand, Eli was questioning my every move ever since I got involved with you guys. Seems like everyone I get close to dies because of me." Tears flooded my eyes as I felt Filip lift my face with a finger under my chin making me look straight in his eyes. "Evangeline do not put this all on you, he was a rat love no matter how fucked up it is you did the right thing. For what it's worth you put that fucker Joe down along with Eli. Don't let this eat you up, all you can do is move forward." I sighed and nodded. He gave me a hug and kissed my forehead. "Thank you Filip". I said embracing him by, wrapping my arms around his waist. "Anytime love." "I also wanted to give you something." At my response he pulled apart a little as I reached in my back pocket and pulled out an envelope and gave him it. He looked very puzzled as he took it. "What's this?" "Don't worry bout it." He opened it, his eyes widened as he pulled out stacks of cash. His head snapped up at me in disbelief."Evangeline what is this?" "It's for the club I figured since you guys needed the extra money you can have my share, I'm pretty sure it'll take some of the load off." He sighed shaking his head and closed the envelope back up passing it back to me. I refused and pushed his hands back. "Evie I can't accept this, the club will find a way to come up with the money, you earned this, you don't owe us anything ." "Don't worry bout it, you can thank me by taking me out for dinner and drinks?" I moved in a little closer and running a hand down his chest. He smirked and looked around before looking at me with mischief in his eyes. "Maybe we can have dinner at your place, I'll bring drinks , I'll hold onto this unless we really need it". He said putting the envelope in his back pocket I smiled in return and nodded, " I'll hold you to it, it's getting late I should be heading home." He agreed and pretty soon we parted ways. I can honestly say I can't wait for this date.. wait is it a date?? Maybe we'll have to see.
