Hey Whiskey

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

We all sit around for a little while just getting to know Shannon and trying to get her a little more comfortable with us. "Well sweetheart, we will keep one of us ladies here and a patched member here at all times. We won't let anyone hurt you again. Since, Opie here is making you his Old Lady, you are family. We take care of family." Gemma tells her. "Can I talk to Opie a minute?" Shannon asked. Opie stands and holds out his hand and leads her to the bedroom.

***Opie's POV***

We walk into the bedroom that she will be staying in and she sits down on the bed. Sitting beside her, I wait on her to start talking. "I know you said you were drawn to me but Opie, you don't even know me and you don't want someone that's damaged that can't give you what you need." she tells me. "I know we don't know each other but that will come with time. But you ain't damaged. You didn't ask for that shit to happen to you. Asking for help makes you strong and I need someone that's strong to stand beside me." I tell her. "And what about sex? I can barely handle looking you in the eye much less handle being touched like that." she says. "It's not all about sex with me. That will come with time too. We will get there but I'm not taking it back. There's something about you. I claimed you as my Old Lady because I need you as much as you need me." I tell her. She lays her head on my shoulder and I take her hand and kiss her knuckles before we stand and head back out to the living room.

***End of Opie POV***

We see Opie and Shannon walking back out to the living room. "Everything okay?" I asked. "Yes. I think so." Shannon says. They sit back down on the couch and Juice's phone rings. "Yeah...shit. Okay...Yeah...Send the prospects and we'll head that way as soon as they get here. Just stay on them." Juice says. "That was Jax. They found them." Juice fills us in on the plan. When the prospects walk in the door, Opie goes to stand. I walk Juice to the garage and kiss him and tell him to be careful. We see Shannon and Opie walk out and I see Shannon start to withdraw herself. "Hey, they won't get to you. I promise." Opie tells her while Juice and I are still holding each other. "Please be careful." Shannon says. "I will. Just stay close to Liv until I get back. I'll stay here with you tonight but just stay inside." he tells her and she nods. He lifts her chin and kisses her lips softly before getting into the van with Juice following.

I take her back into the house and we sit on the couch with the prospects. "Are you hungry sweetheart?" Gemma asked her. Shannon just shakes her head no. "When was the last time you ate?" Gemma asked. "Yesterday sometime." Shannon says. "Well, you need to eat baby girl." she says before walking into the kitchen to cook. Once the food is done, we are sitting at the table eating, when all of a sudden, the guys come back. I go right to Juice and Shannon walks over to Opie and I can tell she's starting to panic. Opie pulls her to him and says "It's handled." He kisses the top of her head and I see her relax a little. She pulls back and there are tears falling down her face. He cups her face and she says "I'm okay. Just...didn't think I would ever be able to breathe again." He pulls her closer and says "I got you baby." I smile seeing that he finally might be happy.
