Dying To Love You

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

It's time to close up the shop and I walk out of the office to lock up. "You ready little girl?" he asks. I nod my head. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all. We walk over to his bike and he hands me the helmet that Juice normally keeps for me and I get on behind him. Wrapping my arms around his waist but still not getting really close to him. He grabs my hands and pulls me closer before bringing one hand up and kissing my knuckles. He starts the bike and we head off of the lot. Riding around for a bit, we drive out of Charming and he eventually turns off onto this gravel road, pulling up to a clearing next to the streams.

Shutting off the bike, we both dismount and take off out helmets. I look around while he opens the saddle bags. I see him pull out a blanket and he takes my hand, lacing his fingers with mine and we walk closer to the water. Putting the blanket down, we both sit down and just look out at the streams. "This is beautiful Hap." I say. He takes my hand again and laces his fingers with mine like he did before. "This isn't the only reason I brought you here." he says and I look at him. He lays back and I lay back next to him, never letting go of his hand. I look up at the sky and say "Oh my God." My free hand moves up to my mouth and I turn my head to look at him and see he's smiling. I look back up at the sky full of stars and lay my head against his shoulder. "Tell me what you see." he says. I don't say anything for a second. "Describe what you see when you look up there." he says. I take my free hand and start pointing stars out. "There's the North Star. There's the Big Dipper and Little Dipper. Over there is Orion's Belt, Cassiopeia, and you see that little cluster of stars there? That's the Seven Sisters." I tell him. "What's that?" he asks. "It's Greek Mythology. Atlas was the Titan that held up the sky and Pleione was the Oceanid protected the sea. They had seven daughters. Maia, Electra, Alcyone, Taygete, Asterope, Celaeno, and Merope. They were Nymphs in the train of Artemis. But Polynesian legend says that the seven sisters made a single star that was so beautiful that the Polynesian God Tane hated that everyone bragged on it's beauty so he smashed the star into the pieces that you see now." I tell him. "Wow. You like Astrology that much huh?" he asks. "Not just that. Greek Mythology has always fascinated me." I tell him. He leans up on one elbow, facing me and wraps one arm around my waist and just looks at me. "You're amazing." he says. I shy away. "Don't do that. Be proud of it." he says. I look back up at him and he leans down and kisses me softly. He deepens the kiss and I feel my arms wrap around him and pull him closer. When we come up for air, he says "I love you too." I look him in the eyes and say "Happy..." but he stops me. "Kelsey, I love you. I have since I met you but I didn't think you needed someone like me. I told you I'm not a nice guy and I meant it but I can't stay away from you anymore." he tells me. "Happy, I know you're not a nice guy. Hell, I've seen how big of a dick you can be. I know what you do for the club. You think they keep that shit from me?" I ask. "But, Happy, you're not a bad guy either. You're loyal, strong, protective. All things that I love about you." I tell him. He kisses me again and says "I want you to be mine. Be my girl and when you're ready, my Old Lady." he says. I look at him shocked for a second before pulling him down and saying "I want that too." I kiss him and he deepens the kiss. We lay back on the blanket again, me snuggled into his side just talking until the sun comes up.

Pulling up to the clubhouse, he tells me "Go to my dorm and lay down for a while. I'll let Gemma know you'll be in when you wake up. Your bag is still in my dorm too." he tells me. "Okay baby." I say. He smiles and kisses me softly. "I love you little girl." he says. "I love you too Happy." I say before heading to the clubhouse and to his dorm. Walking into the office, Happy sees Gemma sitting there. "Where's Kelsey?" she asks. "Headed to my dorm to rest. We were out all night." he tells her. She smirks and he says "Not like that. Took her to the streams to look at the stars." he tells her. "I bet she loved that." Gemma says. "She did. Shit, Gemma, I knew she was smart but I didn't know just how smart she was." he says and she looks at him confused. "She told me the stories about all the constellations and Greek Mythology. She's fucking perfect Gemma." he says. "So are you two?" she asks and he nods. "She's my girl and I told her that when she's ready I want her to be my Old Lady. We'll take this shit at her pace. I want her to see I'm in this." he tells her. "You know, there's a little shop that opened up last week. I went in the other day and they have some things in there that she might like. I saw a necklace that had a pendant that looked like a galaxy on it." she tells him. "What's the name?" he asks, getting an idea. "Heaven's Gate. Everything they have there has something to with celestial shit." she tells him. "I'll be back. She'll be in when she wakes up but if she comes in before I get back, just tell her I had some things to take care of." he tells her. "I got her baby." Gemma says before he heads out the door.
