Appetite For Destruction

-006

Happy POV

It was 9pm by the time we got back to the lot, Clay had gone straight home to Gemma so it was just Tig and I sitting at the bar together.

I contemplated whether or not to ask about Evie but trusting that I could trust Tig I asked anyway "what's the deal with Evie?"

I watched as Tig's eyes lit up with amusement "In what way? She's off limits unless you're ready to settle down brother, you can't just use her like we do the crow eaters"

I felt annoyance at myself, I always had prided myself on being detached but I couldn't get Evie off my mind, I wanted to come home to her every night and be the one to keep her safe. But at the same time I wasn't sure I could convince Jax that I could be that person after so many years of being the clubs go to for brainless destruction and violence.

Taking a sip of my drink "yeah" was all I could manage before I didn't want to discuss it any further.

"She's also out of her fuckin mind when it comes to relationships man, I've seen her kick the shit out of a crow eater when she was 18 because they looked twice at her boyfriend...he wasn't even in the club" Tig laughed as he looked deep in thought.

I felt turned on at the thought of her angry enough to be fighting someone but I didn't let that show on my face. Before we could talk anymore we heard someone walk down the hall and when we looked Evie was rounding the corner in a tiny pair of pyjama shorts and a black sweatshirt, I noted the make-up free face, she was just as beautiful bare faced as she was all done up...what the fuck is going on with me?

She flicked the kettle on the bench on before she turned back to us "why are you both being so weird?"

I smirked at her as she crossed her arms over her chest and she resembled her mother for a moment. Tig grinned at her "well...I'll leave you two alone...you can catch up" he turned to me with a grin before he wandered off down the hall towards his room.

Evie frowned "what the fuck?"

I shrugged and changed the subject "what you eating?"

"Noodle cup, you want one?"

I nodded and she walked off back to her room presumably to grab another noodle cup. When she returned she tipped the water in both cups before she lent on the bar directly infront of me whilst they cooked "how'd you pull up after the other night then? Didn't seem like you from what I've heard...wanting a cuddle and stuff"

I noticed she didn't look away when I looked at her, a lot of people felt uncomfortable under my stare but Evie just looked back "it's not but you seem different and it's driving me fuckin crazy" I shocked myself at how honest I was being.

She turned back to stir the noodles before picking both cups up and looking at me "well I'm going to watch a movie in bed, if you felt like company you could join me" she grinned at me and I felt whatever wall I was trying to build up between us disappear as I nodded and followed her down the hall.
