Just A Princess

Chapter 16

Chapter 16

It's been a week since I took my state boards. Sitting at the clubhouse, I have my laptop in my lap on one of the couches. Juice is at the bar with Tig and Happy and I check my email. Seeing the results of my tests sitting in front of me, I tense. Juice sees me and rushes to my side and so do Happy and Tig. "What's wrong?" Juice asked. "My results email. It's here." I say. I open the email and look at the results and the tears fall down my face. "Shit babe. What do they say?" Juice asked. I look up and say "I passed." He pulls me to him and kisses me deeply and says "I'm proud of you babe." Sitting the laptop down, Tig pulls me up and says "Proud of you kid." before passing me to Happy. "I guess all that studying wasn't for nothing. You did good Princess." he says before kissing my temple. We see everyone else walk in and Gemma asks "What's going on?" Koz looks at me worried and I say "I passed my state boards. I'm officially a licensed therapist." Koz pulls me into a hug and whispers "I'm so proud of you sweetheart." before he kisses my cheek. I smile at him and say "I better call mom and dad."

I walk out to the picnic table and call mom. "Hey baby. What's up?" she asked. "Is Daddy with you?" I asked. "Yeah. I'll put it on speaker. What's up?" she asked. "I got my test results today and I passed. 99 out of 100 percent." I tell them. "That's amazing baby. We are so proud of you. So, what's next?" dad asked. "Well first I need to look for a job but Jax's Old Lady Tara said she'd get me an interview at the hospital here so that's a start. We were just waiting on my test results." I tell her. "Well, sounds like things are looking up but I got a question." my dad says. "What's that?" I asked. "Why did Katie come back from Charming with a bruised up face?" he asked. I start laughing and said "She wanted to fight for my man. Didn't know the killa taught me how to fight." I tell him and he starts laughing. "Well, I gotta go. Party's starting." I tell them. "Love you guys." I say before ending the call.

Walking back into the clubhouse, I see Juice sitting over in the corner. I walk over and he pulls me to him and kisses me softly. Rubbing his fingers on the back of my neck he says "Right here." I look at him confused and he whispers "My crow." I look at him shocked and he takes my hand and pulls me to the dorm and Happy follows with his tattoo kit. "Are you sure about this Juice?" I asked. "Do you not want my crow?" he asked looking almost hurt.

Happy is still over to the side getting his kit out. "It's not that. I do want your crow but Juice, what if..." I trail off. "What if what sweetheart?" he asked. Before I can say anything Happy speaks up and says "Can I have a minute brother?" Juice nods and leaves the room. "What's going on Princess?" he asked. "I love him Hap. More than anything and I know he loves me but what if he changes his mind? What if he decides one day that...that I'm not enough anymore?" I asked. "Shit. Maci, listen to me. What happened before was all on me and Koz. That had nothing to do with you not being enough. We were selfish and stupid but Juice isn't us. He loves you more than anything. That man says all the time that he doesn't see what you see in him. He thinks he's not good enough for you. He's not going to change his mind." he tells me. I hug him and say "Thank you Hap." He tells Juice to come back in and I pull him to me and kiss him deeply and say "I love you baby. Let's get that crow." He smiles at me softly and asks "You still want it?" I nod my head yes. "I just let my worries get away with me. Happy set me straight. I'm good baby." I say. Sitting down on the desk chair, I pin my hair up the way Juice likes it and Happy starts adding Juice's crow to the back of my neck marking me as his. Once it's done, Juice says "One more." Happy nods and Juice tells me to have a seat. On his chest over his heart, he has an anchor with my name incorporated. "That's beautiful Juice." I say. "You're what keeps me anchored. What keeps me straight." he says. I kiss him and say "I love you." Happy leaves us alone and I say "Claim your Old Lady already." He smiles that smile I love so much before carrying me to the bed and making love to me.
