Forgive

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Sitting at home in my cabin, hidden away where no one can find me, that's how I like it. I am sitting here drinking a beer and watching Netflix when my phone rings. "Hello." I say as I answer because I don't recognize the number. "Hey little girl." I hear that raspy voice say. "What do you need?" I ask because the only time I hear from him is when he needs something. "Need a place to lay low." he tells me. "Just you?" I ask. "Three of us." he tells me. I sigh and say "Come on." I tell him. "Be there shortly." he says before hanging up. I get up and start getting my guest rooms ready for them. I have two guest rooms so one of them is sleeping on the couch.

A half hour later, I hear a knock on my door. Opening the door, in walks Happy, Tig and Quinn. "Come on in." I say. Once everyone was inside, I close and lock the door. "This is Tig and Quinn." he tells me. "I'm Raven. Make yourselves at home guys. I have two guest rooms so one of you will have to take the couch. Beer is in the fridge and so are leftovers." I tell them. "Thanks for this doll." Tig says. We all head to the kitchen and I start handing out beers. "So, how to do you two know each other?" Quinn asks. "She's my Old Lady." Happy says and Tig spits out his beer. "What?" Quinn says. "Estranged Old Lady." I say glaring at Happy. "What happened?" Tig asks. "I tell you what. I'll tell you but you have to do something for me." I say. "What's that?" Tig asks. "Get this asshole to sign the fucking divorce papers." I say before leaving the kitchen to head to my bedroom. "You're married?" Quinn asks. "Yeah. Five years now." Happy says. "Why won't you sign the papers?" Tig asks. "Don't want it." he says. "You still love her?" Tig asks and Happy just nods. "You need to talk to her dude." Quinn says and Happy just nods again.

I walk back into the kitchen and say "I have both rooms ready and there's a pillow and blanket on the couch. How long do you plan on staying?" I ask Happy. "Don't know yet." Happy says. "Well, I'm hitting the shower and heading to bed. Night guys." I say before leaving the room. "You two take the guest rooms." Happy says before finishing his beer and heading down the hall. "You know about her?" Quinn asks. "Nah. You?" he asks. "No brother. Wonder what happened there?" Tig asks. "Don't know. Not our business brother." Quinn says before they head to the guest rooms.

I get out of the shower and get dressed in a pair of short shorts and tank top. Heading into the bedroom, I see Happy laying in my bed. "I made the couch up for you." I tell him. "Don't want the couch." he tells me. "Fine. I'll take the couch." I say. "Get in the bed little girl." he tells me. "Happy, you can't just come in here and think you're going to just sleep in my bed. We're not together anymore." I tell him calmly. "You're still my wife and you still have my crow." he tells me. "Only because I can't get it covered until I get the divorce and you won't sign the papers." I tell him. I go to leave the room and he moves from the bed to the door and blocks my way. "We need to talk." he tells me. "There's nothing to talk about Happy. You're the one that cheated on me and left me. You can't expect me to just pretend nothing happened. Plus you'll be gone again in a few days and I won't see you again until you need something." I tell him, not looking at him. "Just come to bed please. I just want to hold my wife." he says. I look at him and say "I'll take the couch." before pushing past him and heading to the living room.

Waking up the next morning and I am still on the couch. I open my eyes and lay there gathering my bearings and hear soft snores. I sit up a little and see Happy in the recliner sleeping. I lay there and watching him a minute before shaking my head and getting up to get dressed for the day. Moving to the kitchen, I start breakfast and coffee. Once it's done, I move to wake Happy up and ask "Can you get the other two up please?" before turning back to the kitchen. I make three plates and put down coffees before they walk into the kitchen. "Thanks doll." Tig says. "Enjoy guys." I say before taking my coffee out to the back deck. "What happened last night?" Tig asks. "Nothing." Happy says before finishing his breakfast.

Tig walks out to the back deck with his coffee and takes the seat next to me. "How long have you two been together?" Tig asks. "Had his crow five years, been married three." I tell him. "What happened?" he asks. "Found out he was cheating on me. Went to see him at the local clubhouse to tell him I was pregnant and when I got to his dorm, he had a sweetbutt bent over the bed. I had a car accident on the way home and lost the baby. He packed his shit and left the next day." I tell him and he says "Shit doll. How long ago was that?" he asks. "Two years." I tell him. "Well, a lot's happened in two years. He's changed." he tells me. "Doesn't matter. All I want is for him to sign the damn divorce papers so I can cover up the crow and move on." I tell him. "Sweetheart, maybe you should talk to him. He needs you right now." Tig says and I see how sad he is. "What happened Tig?" I ask. "He tell you about SAMCRO?" he asks and I nod my head yes. "We've lost three brothers in the last couple of months. Been trying to get our club into legit shit and he's starting to re-prioritize what's important in his life." he tells me. "Well, it's too late on this end." I tell him before heading inside and to my room, closing the door.
