Skyler's Chance

Meeting AJ

"You are such an idiot." Clay glares at Juice, who cowers a little after being scolded. Church is in session, and he had to tell them what happened. Needless to say, his president was not happy. "Let me try to talk to her. Maybe I can get her to see we don't want to hurt her." Jax suggests. Bobby shakes his head, "That's not going to work. She saw you beat the shit out of the dealer that night at the Hairy Dog. She came out of the back room as you were throwing a beat down, brother." Juice speaks up "I know I screwed up. But she did leave her phone charger at my place. Maybe I can try again." Clay points at Juice "Screw up again and you'll be in deeper shit with me than you are now." Turning to the other Sons, he continues, "Where are we at with finding Darby's new cook house ?" Opie says "I asked Hale again, he says he doesn't know anything. But there is a new business in town, some kind of smoke shop opening on Main Street. Think we should keep an eye on the new owner, let him know how things are around here." The other Sons nodded in agreement. Clay picks up the gavel "Ok, keep on Skyler and keep an eye out for Darby's dealers that are trying to come into Charming." He slams it down as everyone gets up from the table.

Skyler was munching on a sandwich while looking around her bedroom for her phone charger. She doesn't remember if she accidentally forget it in the hotel room, and if that's the case, it's long gone by now. Giving up, she finishes getting dressed for work. Her dad has been bugging her all day and since she's still not financially where she wants to be, she relents and tells him fine. Grabbing her bag and walking out the door, Darby comes out from his bedroom. "Be nice tonight, Sky-Sky." Kissing his daughter on the cheek. "I'm always nice." She replies as she rolls her eyes. " I wanted to let you know that I have a new business partner, Zobelle. Has a few guys that work for him that may swing by to check out the bar. Make them feel welcomed,ok?" Darby says as he gets a beer from the fridge. "And who is this Zobelle?" She asks as she straps on her helmet. "He's going to help me expand into Charming. My red house will be up and running soon and I need the cash to buy the supplies to back it up. So please, do this for me." He pleads. Skyler shakes her head, "Ok, dad." And walks out the door.

AJ and Ule climb out of the suv and head into the Hairy Dog. Heading straight to the bar, Skyler asks them what they would like to drink. "A few beers." AJ says over his shoulder, looking around the room. Ule is checking out Skyler, as he sips his beer. "You single, sweetheart ?" He asks her. She turns slightly towards his direction as she dries glasses, "Yea but I'm not looking for anything." He smirks, "Maybe because you've never had a real man who knew what he was doing." Skyler shrugs, continuing to dry the glasses. Darby told her about these 2, and she wasn't going to argue with
this douche because of him. But if he stepped out of line too far, all bets were off. Handing them another round of beers, the guys head to the pool tables as she goes into the back room to get more beer and ice. She found a charger at work in the lost and found box, so she was able to charge her phone at least half way. She turns it on, and there's a text from Juice Can we talk, please? Sighing, she sets down the bucket and texts him back What do you want ? Need someone else to rinse out your tub ? Mean yes, but she was mad. She liked Juice but she felt used.

No, I'm really sorry about that. Maybe if we could talk face to face, I can explain. He texts back. She's getting annoyed, but figured she could give him the benefit of the doubt. If anything, maybe he can be a one night stand. She thinks for a minute, and decides to see him one more time Ok fine, meet me tomorrow, noon, at the David Diner. Kicking herself, she didn't know why she was curious to see what he wanted. But if it was about her dad, she wouldn't give him any information. Her dad was her only family, so she needed him. For now. Her phone vibrates Ok I'll see you there he texts back. Grabbing the bucket of ice, she heads back down the hall when someone slaps her behind. Whipping around, she sees Billy standing there, a smirk on his face. "Don't ever touch me." She snarled. He smirks, "What's wrong, baby ? Need someone to untwist your panties ?" He leans against the door frame. Before she could answer, someone comes up from behind her, barking at Billy. "Hey, leave her alone." Turning to see who it is, she sees a tattoo of an inside down peace sign she saw earlier tonight.

It was AJ. He gets into a staring match as she grips the ice bucket and starts to walk back to the bar. "This doesn't concern you, asshole. "Billy stands toe to toe with AJ as she steps back a few feet, looking between the men. "I said leave her alone, dickhead. Don't come near her again." AJ growls as he puffs up his chest. Billy smirks but it turns into a frown when he looks over and sees Ule standing but the hallway entrance. "Whatever. You can have the bitch." Billy ducks back into the bathroom and shuts the door. AJ turns to Skyler, taking the bucket from her hands. "Are you ok?" She nods, "Yea, thanks. That's nothing new but it never goes further than him being an ass." AJ shakes his head, "Anymore trouble from him, you let me know. Come on, I'll carry this back to the bar for you." She gives him a small smile and follows him back to the bar.
