Coming Together

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Lying there, still curled into Happy's side, he's running his finger tips up and down my bare back as I'm draped across his chest. "I love you Marci." he says softly. "I love you too Happy." I say but all I can think about is that I stabbed her. I could have killed her. I feel Happy pull me closer and I just can't shut my mind off. Tilting my chin up to look at him, he sees it in my eyes. "Get dressed. Let's go for a ride." he tells me and I do what he says.

Walking out to the main room, he tells Lee "I'll be unavailable for the night." Lee looks at me and sees that I'm still reeling and says "Okay." before walking over to me. He tilts my chin up and says "I'm fucking proud of you little one." I nod and we head out to Happy's bike. Riding around for a while, we pull up to a cabin. "Where are we?" I ask. "Club's cabin." he tells me. We get off the bike and head inside and as soon as we get inside, he says "I want to show you something." I nod and follow him to the back deck. Looking out, I see a lake. We walk out to the dock and see the moonlight shining down on us. "What are we doing out here?" I ask as I'm standing there looking out at the water. Happy doesn't say anything so I turn to look at him and see him down on one knee holding a ring. "Happy?" I ask, shocked. "I fucking love you little girl. There's nothing in the world I wouldn't fucking do for you. That shit back there at the clubhouse? That showed me I was making the right decision. You defended your place as my Old Lady. Now, I want to make you my wife. Will you marry me?" he asks. I smile softly and whisper "Yes." He puts the ring on my finger and kisses me deeply before we sit on the dock and just enjoy the silence together.

The next morning, we head back to the clubhouse and as soon as we walk in, I have a smile on my face. "You okay?" Kelly asks. "Oh yeah. I'm much better." I tell her smiling. "I can tell. What happened?" she asks. "He took me to the cabin to get away from shit for a minute. We spent some time together and he proposed." I tell her. Her eyes go wide and she pulls me into a hug and I am laughing. "You tell her?" Happy asks. "Yeah, she did." Kelly says. "Tell you what?" Lee asks. "Killer here proposed to his Old Lady." Kelly says and Lee pulls us into hugs and the prospect starts pouring shots. Lee announces that we are getting married and the party starts.

Sitting around the clubhouse, one of the sweetbutts walks over and I think she's going to start shit but she looks at me and Happy "You guys need another beer?" Happy looks at her and nods and she heads off to get it. I look at Happy and he just shrugs. She comes back over with our beers and says "Congrats guys." We nod our thanks and she walks away. "That was different." I say. "Probably scared you'll stab them." he tells me smirking. "Shut up." I tell him laughing. "Good." I say. Happy looks at me and he has a serious look on his face. "I Love you little girl." he says. "I love you too Happy." I feel his lips find my neck and he starts placing soft kisses there and I just sigh knowing that the others got the message and he's all mine.
