The Arrangement

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

After our little talk he asks "You wanna head home?" I look at him and say "Nah. We can crash here." I tell him. He stands from the table and grabs my hand and pulls me to stand. Once I stand up, he pulls me close and kisses me softly. "I love you." he says. "I love you too." I say. We head back inside and Gemma corners me. I let go of Happy's hand and she asks "Nothing going on huh?" she asks. I pull her outside and say "Gemma we're married. Please don't make a big deal out of it. We just want to enjoy this." I tell her. "Honey, I won't say anything else. Just...congratulations." she says and pulls me in for a hug. "Thanks Gemma." I tell her before joining my husband standing at the bar with my dad.

A little later, we head to the bedroom and I say "I'm gonna shower real fast." Happy nods and I head into the bathroom and stand under the hot spray, letting the water run over the top of my head and run over my body when I feel his arms wrap around me. I lean back into him and he starts kissing on my neck. Whispering in my ear, he says "I love you." I turn in his arms and bury my head into his chest and he just holds me as I start to cry. He doesn't say anything for a couple of minutes until I pull him closer. He tilts my head up and asks "Why are you crying baby?" I lean up and kiss him. He kisses me back before deepening the kiss. He starts kissing down my neck and I whisper "I need you." He picks me up and puts me against the wall of the shower with my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck when he enters me. Thrusting in and out, he crashes his lip with mine and deepens the kiss as he thrusts in and out hard and fast. "Fuck Hap. Don't stop. Fuck that feels good. I'm gonna cum." I tell him. "Cum with me baby. Let me feel you cum." Happy rasps. I feel myself find my release and he finds his right after. We finish cleaning off and get into the bed. Lying with my head on his chest, he pulls me close and asks "Why were you crying?" I don't say anything. He tilts my head up and asks again "Why were you crying?" I sit up and say "I guess between worrying about Ma and about you and not sleeping much lately, I got a little overwhelmed." I tell him. Sitting up with me, he says "Baby, nothing we can do about Ma but make sure she's happy and comfortable. As far as you worrying about me, I would tell you not to worry but we both know that won't happen but I'll be okay. The not sleeping? Tell me what you need and I'll make sure you get it so you can sleep." he tells me. I lean forward and kiss him. "I'm supposed to be strong for you but it really hurts that we're losing her." I tell him. "I know baby. She's the only mom you've known. Hell, she's my mom and I don't know how I'm gonna handle that shit. We just gotta take care of each other." he tells me. "Come on, let's get some sleep." he says and I lay back down and drift off to sleep.

Waking up the next morning, it's time to get ready for work. We get out of bed and head out to the main room in search for coffee. I get my cup and head to the office with Happy behind me. We both clock in and I head to my desk. Happy walks over and kisses me and says "I wanna take you to lunch." I nod and he kisses me softly before heading to work. Gemma walks in and says "Good morning baby." I look up and say "Good morning Gemma." She sits at her desk and asks "Are you okay?" I look at her and she says "You looked pissed when I left last night and you were talking to Tig." Nodding, I say "I'm better. Just a croweater running her mouth." I tell her. "Baby, you gotta put a stop to that shit. Put that whore in her place. You're his Old Lady and you've earned that right. Hell, you've always been his Old Lady just you were both too hard headed to make it official." she tells me. "I guess you're right." I say. "So, when is he giving you his crow?" she asks. "We haven't talked about that yet. Too much going on with his mom." I tell her. She looks at me concerned. "She stopped her treatments." I tell her. "Shit baby. Anything you guys need?" she asks. "They only gave her about three months. When his Tia calls, we're gonna need a few days at least." I tell her. "Absolutely. Just let us know what you need." she tells me. "Thanks Gem." I tell her before getting back to work.

Lunch rolls around and Happy walks into the office. "You ready?" he asks. "Yeah." I say. I walk out of the office and we get onto his bike. We go to the same burger shack that we did before and take the same table. Sitting down to eat, he says "You feeling better?" I look at him and say "A little. Can I ask you something?" he nods. "Are you okay with all of this?" I ask. "What? The marriage?" he asks. "Yeah." I say. "Why wouldn't I be?" he asks. "I meant what I said. Nothing changes. You are still free to do whatever you want." I tell him. "Why are you worried about this?" he asks. "I don't know. I just don't want you to wake up one morning and realize that this was a mistake. I know it's an arrangement but I guess I'm just scared I'll lose you after this." I tell him. "Baby, I'm not going anywhere. You know why I asked to patch Redwood?" he asks and I look at him. "To be close to you. I missed your little ass. I missed having you beside me at night." he tells me and I lean into his side. "I love you little girl." he tells me. "I love you too Giant." I say as he kisses the top of my head.

After lunch we walk back into the office and finish out the day. After work we head into the clubhouse for a beer. I sit at the bar and Happy walks over to Jax and Opie at the pool table. Tara sits next to me and says "How's married life?" I look at her and laugh. "It would be better if these whores would back off." I tell her. "Put a bitch in her place." she tells me. About that time, the croweater that's been running her mouth, Lanie, walks up to Happy and starts running her fingers up and down his chest. I put my beer down and walk over to them. Pulling Happy's Kbar from it's sheath, I back her against the pool table with the knife to her throat and say "You touch my husband again and I'll slit your Goddamned throat. You hear me?" I aks. She nods and I let her up. She runs off and I turn to Happy and say "Come fuck your wife." He smirks at me before picking me up over his shoulder and carrying me to his dorm.
