Jax convinced CJ to take his bike stating that he would never voluntarily ride in a cage unless there were kids about. She chuckled knowing her brother and Tig were exactly the same. She knew no one would question Jax going with her seeing as they were under orders that none of the women leave the lot without a patch. She was still pissed though, she had proven time and time again that she could handle herself but today was different. Today was for Tasha and she knew Jax would kill her if he wasn't involved.
The first stop was a jewellers in Lodi, CJ wanted to make sure her asshole brother hadn't fucked up and got the wrong size, she trusted him with most things but this needed a feminine touch. Once it was confirmed that he did actually get something right they moved on to a specialist cake shop. Jax groaned as they walked in the door knowing exactly what CJ was going to order and he hated it. She walked up to the counter and made a very specific order.
1 Black forest cake that was to be made with dark chocolate and Canadian cherries and shaped like a motorcycle.
She paid extra to make sure it could be delivered to the clubhouse by the weekend and the store owner was under strict instruction to leave it with herself or Jax. Jax was chuckling away at just how intimidating little Lowman was and was enjoying the reminder not to mess with her for the second time that day.
From the cake shop she made him go clothes shopping. He groaned at the choices she was picking knowing that they were for his sister and to impress her own damn brother. This woman was a machine and he was beginning to understand why Tasha loved her so much.
Once the clothes were chosen she made him drive her back to the clubhouse where she waited patiently for Hap to take Tasha home.
Tasha knew CJ was up to something, she was never that secretive unless it had something to do with Happy or Tig. They thought they were the worlds best kept secret but holy shit was it funny to watch them skirt around each other thinking that no one knew what went on behind closed doors. She chuckled to herself earning a look from Happy that demanded without words to know what she was thinking. Tasha knew that Hap hadn't noticed and was not about to dump a ton of shit on her best friend and his brother, there was a time and a place and this was not it.
She shook her head at him and he smirked to let her know she was lying but wasn't going to push it. He already had one beating from his sister, he wasn't about to set up for another.
He made Tasha rest while he prepared some dinner and ran her a bath ensuring he put her favourite jasmine bath soak in. he knew he was making her suspicious but he also knew his sister would have everything sorted like yesterday. He smiled to himself remembering how she used to tell him that all the time when she was younger and he got on her ass about something she was supposed to have done.
Once the dinner was in the oven Hap stepped onto the back porch to call CJ to see where she was at. "How's the planning?" he asked not bothering to waste time with hello. "Hello to you to Hap" she said laughing making him roll his eyes "Just had a call from the cake shop, they had a slow day so can have the cake to me tomorrow." she said. He felt his heart speed up in panic and his breathing got a little quicker. He was immediately brought back down by his sister's laughter "Damn Hap, it's all under control. All you got to do is show up and actually talk for once." she said continuing to laugh as he growled at what she said. "I owe ya Caro." he said using the nickname he always used to use. "Hell yeah you do." she said always having to have the last word.
Tasha made her way out of the bathroom and wrapped herself in her favourite red silk robe and came to the kitchen where she was greeted by a delicious smell and a table set. She sat down and Happy dished out the food which they ate in a comfortable silence. Once the food was eaten and the table cleaned away they chilled on the sofa watching shit TV until Tasha fell asleep curled into his side that hadn't taken a beating. He kissed the top of her head as he picked her up and carried her to bed. He quickly stripped off and slipped in beside her falling asleep himself faster than usual.
The next morning Happy woke to Tasha not being beside him and he panicked a little, grabbing his gun he kept in the nightstand he carefully made his way through the house, paranoid someone had gotten to her finally relaxing and hiding the gun behind his back when he found her in the kitchen dancing away to Black Label Society as she made pancakes. He smiled at seeing her so carefree when she had been lost in her head for so long and that was all the confirmation he needed that he was making the right choice today.
Once they were both ready she climbed on the back of his bike and he revelled in the closeness he hadn't realised he had missed. As they pulled into TM he could hear the cheer coming from his sister over the growl of his engine and he knew he was definitely forgiven for being an ass.
He helped Tasha off of his bike and kissed her before she walked over to the office and he made his way over to CJ. He noticed Tig was watching him get closer to his sister and decided he was going to look into that shit but not today. He pulled her into a hug and whispered "Thank you again Caro, you are always there to point me in the right direction, Love ya kid." she slapped him, hating being called a kid but it was a harmless slap, at least compared to the damage she could do when she wanted.
He smirked as he walked away to grab the work orders and got to work.
It seemed like the day disappeared and CJ was there telling him to go and get washed up and that it was time for the plan to be put in action. He smiled seeing how excited she was for her best friend and did what she demanded with no argument. He turned to glare at Jax when he heard the blond say to CJ "Damn you gotta show me how you did that, he never fucking listens." whilst laughing.
Jax did his part by heading to the office and asking Tasha to come and join him for a drink. She rolled her eyes as he expected but still come with him. He led her over to the table where the cake was placed just where she could see it. CJ turned to check that Hap was in place and once she was certain gave a nod to Jax. He gestured to the box on the table and despite being confused she opened the lid and spotted her absolute favourite. She chuckled as it was shaped like a motorcycle but immediately knew who had gotten it for her.
She stood up and turned to find her old man, what she wasn't expecting was to see him down on one knee. Her hand involuntarily came to her mouth as she gasped swiftly followed by tears as he began to speak.
"Tasha, I'm so sorry I've been an ass these last few weeks, CJ put me straight on that." to which CJ took a bow making Tasha chuckle through the growing tears. Her attention went back to Happy as he continued "You are without a doubt the most beautiful woman I have ever set eyes on, and you don't even realise it. You are the light to my dark, the balm to my fire, the sensitive to my crazy and the only woman I have ever wanted to spend the rest of my life with. So that being said will you Tasha Teller do me the biggest honour and be Mrs Tasha Lowman?"
Tasha looked around at all the shocked faces of the club members as she realised this is probably the most they had ever heard him speak. Meeting his eyes she could see the nerves he was desperately trying to hide and she felt herself falling that much deeper for him.
Closing the distance between them quickly she placed her hands on either side of his face as she kissed him mumbling "Yes" against his lips.
The clubhouse erupted in cheers as he placed the ring on her finger and Jax called out "Hell Yeah let's party!"
