Chapter 9: Wasting Time

Stay (Wasting Time) - Dave Matthews Band

The pizza got to Mina's house a few minutes before Chibs did. She got one of her favorite movies queued up on the TV. She just puttered around the house while she waited for him to get there.

Chibs pulled up to the house and sat outside. It had been a very long day running all over the place trying to get Venus' son. Jax killed Venus' mother, Gemma attacked Tara which caused her to have a miscarriage, and all he wanted to do was relax and unwind. After taking off his helmet, he ran his fingers through his hair, pushing any stray hairs off his face.

When he stepped onto the porch, he caught a glimpse of Mina walking around picking things up and placing it in a different spot. He laughed and knocked on the door.

She smiled when she heard the knock on the door. Looking in the reflection of the microwave, she made sure her hair and face weren't a mess from running around the house.

Before opening the door, she took a breath and closed her eyes. She opened the door and saw a smiling Chibs on the other side. "Hi," she grinned.

"Hey, darlin'," he sighed. She stepped to the side so he could walk in. "How was school?"

She shrugged, closing the door. "Boring as hell. How was your day?"

"Uneventful," he lied. He couldn't tell her any of the club's business, not yet, anyway. "Nice house," he said, looking around.

"Thanks," she smiled. "You want something to drink?"

He turned to face her. "What'cha got?"

"I've got everything. Pick your poison," she chuckled.

Chibs laughed, then asked, "Ya got beer?" She nodded. "That'll do." She grabbed two beers out of the fridge and opened them. "So, what're we watchin'?"

She took a sip and said, "You ever seen 10 Things I Hate About You ?"

"Do I look like someone who has seen that?" he chuckled. She shrugged and opened the cabinet getting out two plates. "What's it about?"

"You'll have to wait and see," she smirked, opening the lid of the pizza box. After they got their slices, they retreated into the living room. As soon as Mina sat on the couch, her cat jumped up. "Get out of here," she said, shooing the cat away.

Chibs picked her up and put her on the other side of him. "Nah, she's fine." The cat laid down, curling against his leg, and fell asleep.

They watched the movie and ate their pizza. When he finished eating, Chibs put his plate on the coffee table and leaned back on the couch. He put his arm on top of the cushion and laughed at the crude jokes of the movie. She looked up at him, smiling.

"What?" he asked, noticing her staring at him.

She shook her head. "You just have a great laugh."

He chuckled, "Do I?" She chuckled and looked back at the movie.

Chibs leaned over and took her face in his hand. Moving his head closer to hers, she closed her eyes. He kissed her softly, sliding his arm behind her back to pull her closer. Deeping the kiss, he rotated so she was leaning into him. She ran her fingers through his hair as his hands moved down to her waist. He moved his hands under her shirt, slowly lifting it up. Taking her hands out of his hair, she pushed his hands away from her torso. He broke the kiss and kissed her neck, trying again to lift up her shirt.

"Chibs?" she whispered.

"Hmm?" he grumbled, his face buried in her neck.

She sighed, "Can we...can we slow down a little?"
