Hot water ran down her tanned back. Her spine showing through her skin as she bent forward washing her hair making sure not to get the soap on her back. She rinsed her hair in that position then raised back up. She let the water run over her body, steam filling the room. At this moment she was at peace. Everything had been taken from her mind and washed down the drain.
Once she was done she stepped out of the shower and dried her hair then wrapped a white towel around her soaked torso. Standing in the mirror she brushed her hair out. She stood there observing her. She had recently covered her black eye up the best she could with makeup when she had went out. She traced her fingers along the bruising right under her eye. "Mans got a good hit." She chuckled to herself
She got dressed and walked back out to the bedroom. She grabbed a pair of underwear and one of Jax's shirts and threw her now brushed hair into a sloppy pony tail. She went through with her nightly routine. Putting lotion on her legs and feet then put on some fuzzy socks. Toned and moisturized her face and then gathered all of Jax's dirty clothes and took them the washer. The new bed suit she had bought was done, so she took it out, put in Jax's dirty clothes and took the bed suit to their room. She began by putting down the sheets trying to make them as straight as possible with no wrinkles. She put the pillow cases on their pillows and adjusted them to the way she liked then threw on the blanket, straightening it out to make sure it also had no wrinkles. Then she placed the accent pillows on the bed. She looked around her and took a deep breath "it's starting to feel like home."
She then walked to the bathroom.
"How in the hell did I not get anything for this junk ass bathroom in the two trips I made" She said frustrated with her self. "Ugh" She scoffed as she took her hair from the pony tail and slipped on some shorts.
Walking back to opies she told Mary she was taking the truck again and climbing back into opies truck making a third trip down the road she sighed to herself. She turned the radio up slightly to drown out her thoughts. Opie had gotten the truck fixed since Donna but he never drove it. She could understand why and part of her had a sick feeling about being in. Something about donnas death made her skin crawl, and she couldn't help but wonder if life held her the same fate.
Pulling into the same store she had previously went to she walked in (with no shoes on) and the cashier spoke to her "hey I saw you in here earlier" the young teen smiled to her
"Yeah got some shit for my bedroom but forgot the bathroom." She said politely as she turned to face him completely
His eyes widened as he looked at her face and she immediately knew. The black eye.
"Holy shit how'd you get that." He asked astonished
"Got in a fight with a biker" she laughed
"No really what happened" he questioned her
"I got in a fight with a biker." She said sternly and he just looked at her
"You should see the guy. Fucked his face up pretty bad." She giggled and he chuckled with anxiety
She continued her trip back to the home section of the store and went to the isles they had bathroom decor. She picked out a soft black rug, a black trash can, a black soap dispenser and a tooth brush holder, along with a black and white shower curtain.
Going back to the register she removed all of the items from her buggy for the young teen cashier to ring up. He was looking her up and down and could tell he was interested he was practically squirming.
"How old are ya kid?" She asked as a blush crossed his face
"Just turned 16" he told her
"What ya wanna do when you graduate?" She asked him trying to make the situation less awkward
"Certainly not fight bikers and go to stores barefoot." He laughed pointing at her feet
"Oh so you're judging me now?" She questioned him
"You're the one barefoot not me." He laughed to her
"I don't wear shoes just to go the store sweet heart." She grinned sarcastically
"What if I took you out to dinner?" He asked her flirtatiously
"Well I'll consider that."
"Well let me get your number while you're considering." He continued to flirt with her and she just flashed him a cute smile
"Here darling" she handed him a small piece of paper with a number written on it. She paid and went back home.
At the clubhouse Jax was sitting in his bed reading John's manuscript when he felt his phone buzz. It was a text saying "hey, it's me. Johnny from the store. Wanted to ask you about that date Harley and when you'd like to meet." Jax just sat there. Jealousy flooding his brain but then he realized. Harley did it on purpose. She gave the man his number on purpose. Jax texted back "meet me at the little mom and pop coffee shop in charming about 1.;)" he laughed to himself. Harley was back at home setting up the bathroom before heading to bed.
