Hey Whiskey

Chapter 4

Waking up, it's Friday morning and we have a three day weekend. So, for the next three days, I am 'with' Opie. Getting up and getting my shower before waking Tara up, we get our things packed and wait for the guys to pick us up. An hour later, the guys are here and we head outside to head up to the cabin. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Tara asked. "It's fine, Tara. We made a deal. If he can't change my mind this weekend, he leaves me alone." I tell her. Getting onto the back of Opie's bike, he pats my thigh and pulls my arms tighter around him. Pulling out of the driveway, we head on the hour trip to the cabin.

Pulling up, it feels like old times already. Getting off the bike, we head inside and put our things in the bedrooms. Tara and Jax in one and me and Opie in the other, just like old times. We walk down to the streams and halfway back, Opie tells me to get on his back and he carries me the rest of the way back. It has started getting dark so the guys put the steaks on the grill while Tara and I finish the rest of dinner. After we eat, we take our beers and head out to the fire pit and sit around talking. Opie puts his arm around me and I snuggle into his side like I used to. I really am trying to actually give him a shot and make an effort but the weekend is still young. After a while, Tara and Jax call it a night and it's just me and Opie sitting there. I shiver a little and he gets up from his chair and gets one of the sleeping bags that was in the trunk on the porch. Pulling me onto his lap, he covers us up and asked "That better?" Leaning into him I tell him "Yeah. It is. Thanks." We sat in silence for a while until he spoke again. "Thank you for agreeing to this." he says. "Opie, this is as much for me as it is for you. I need to know if this stands a chance before I make my decision." I tell him. Tilting my face towards his, he softly kisses me. The kiss deepens as he lays the deck chair back so that we are laying down. Rolling over so that he is on top of me, he starts to caress my body but doesn't try to undress me. Pulling away from the kiss, he says, "I love you Bitty." I smile softly and say "I love you too Giant but I don't know if it's a good idea to push this farther." Kissing me softly again, he says, "We will take this at whatever pace you want. I just want to be with you."

After a while, we put the fire out and head to bed. Laying in bed, he pulls me into his side and I fall asleep with my head on his chest. Waking up the next morning, the bed is empty and I hear him in the main room and it sounds like he is on the phone. "Hey...no, I'm, uh, out with Jax and Tara...Yeah, I'll be back in a couple of days...Yeah." he says before ending the call. Turning around, he sees me standing there. "Who was that?" I asked. "Uh, no one." he says but won't look at me. "That was Lyla wasn't it?" I asked. He doesn't answer, just runs his hand down his face. "Liv..." he starts. "No. Don't." I say before walking back to the bedroom and getting my things together. "Liv, don't leave." he says. "Get away from me." I tell him before pushing past him. Walking out onto the front porch, I look at Jax. "Can you take me home? Please?" I asked. "Uh, yeah. Everything okay?" he asked. "No." I tell him. Tara comes over to me and says "I'll be home as soon as I can." I smile sadly and say "Have fun. I'll see you Monday." She nods and hugs me and I get on the back of Jax's bike and we head back to Charming.

Pulling into the driveway at Tara's house, I get off the bike and Jax pulls me to him and wipes the tears that have fallen off of my face. "I'm sorry Darlin." he tells me. "It's not your fault. Can't believe I fell for that shit again. Just please keep him away from me. Tell Tara I'm going to hide out for a while but I'll check in with her." I say. "Where are you going?" he asked. "She'll know where I am. But I don't want anyone else to know. I'll call Daddy and let him know where to find me. I'll be safe." I tell him. "Let me know if you need anything." he tells me. "Thanks Jax. Take care of our girl, okay?" I asked. He nods and drives off.

I get into my car with my bag that I had packed for the weekend and head to the one place that I know no one will find me. I drive thirty minutes to the small house off the hidden dirt road. Pulling up to the house, I get out and unlock the door. This little house, I bought a long time ago as a getaway for me when I just needed to get away from everyone. Only ones that know about this place are me, Tara and Daddy. Picking up my phone, I call my Daddy. "Hey baby girl. How's the cabin?" he asked. Through fresh tears I say "Daddy." I hear him sigh. "Where are you?" he asked. "My place." I tell him. "Stay there. Do you need me to come to you?" he asked. "No, just wanted to let you know where I was. I don't know how long I will be here but I'll check in. Please don't tell anyone where I am." I say. "Alright but call me if you need me and I'll be out there as soon as possible." he tells me. "I will Daddy. I love you." I tell him. "I love you to Princess."
