Juice thought today was going to be a great day. While he was on a run with the Reno chapter of the club he had met a hot sweet butt named Brooke. Juice had spent a week with the Reno Chapter of the club along with Jax and Opie. And he had spent that entire week with Brooke. He hadn't been interested in any of the other women there and there were plenty of women. There was just something about Brooke that was different from the rest of the girls. He had enjoyed his week with her and the idea of leaving her behind had been bothering him for the last two days. He didn't know when he'd get up to Reno to see her again. Now it was time for Jax, Opie, and Juice to head back to Charming.
Jax was getting onto his motorcycle and nodded at Juice and Brooke. Juice had his arms wrapped around Brooke's slender frame and he was talking to her. The look on his face was serious. "I bet you 50 bucks that he is bringing her back with us." said Jax laughing.
Opie chuckled and said "I'll take that bet. There is no way that he is bringing her with us. He's only known her for a week. What is she going to stay with him at his house? But the weird thing is that she looks really familiar…maybe I've slept with her before…but I tend to remember who I sleep with…" Opie laughed shaking his head thinking it was absurd. But something about her was familiar the long chocolate brown hair, the emerald green eyes, the high cheek bones.
Jax laughed and said "Shake on it." Jax extended his hand to Opie and shook his hand. "You know what she looks sort of familiar to me too…but I don't think I know her…maybe I do…I don't know…but I do know I am ready to get out of here. I haven't seen the kid or Tara in a week. I miss them." Jax whistled and said "Juice! Let's go!"
Juice turned around and said "In a minute!" Juice looked pissed at Jax for interrupting him. He flipped Jax off and went back to quietly talking to Brooke.
Jax and Opie laughed loudly and shook their heads.
Finally, Juice jogged over to them and climbed onto his bike putting on his helmet. "What the hell are you two in such a rush for?" asked Juice.
Jax chuckled and said "We'd like to go home." Jax started up his bike and got ready to pull off.
Juice said "Wait a minute…Brooke has to grab her bag."
"OH!" yelled Jax laughing. "Opie pay up! I told you he was bringing her with him." said Jax amused by this whole situation.
Opie said "Shit, Juice you just cost me $50. You are an idiot by the way. How many guys have been where you've just been?" Opie chuckled and reached into his wallet and pulled out a 50 and handed it to Jax.
Jax laughed and said "When I am right I am right."
A few minutes later Brooke came running out with a tan knapsack and put it on her back. She climbed onto the back of Juice's motorcycle.
Juice said "Here put this on." Juice handed her his extra helmet. "Hold on tight."
Brooke wrapped her arms around Juice's chest and the next thing she knew they were speeding down the interstate heading to Charming, California. She had been there a time or two before and she wasn't sure she ever wanted to go back. For the last two years 25-year-old Brooke bounced around from motorcycle club to motorcycle club along the northern west coast. She liked the order that it brought to her life. At least in club life you knew where you stood with people. Everyone had a place in the hierarchy of things…even a sweet butt. As a sweet butt life was pretty simple. You poured drinks for the guys in the club and you had sex with the ones that were interested. In return you got protection, a family atmosphere, and a place to hang out. The protection was what Brooke was looking for.
She had left home as soon as she was 18 years old needing to get away from her psychotic mother and step-father. She had gone to college for a few years but ended up quitting half way through. After that she had done of a lot of stealing to support herself. So she ended up in jail a few times. One of those times in jail she had met a woman named Sadie. Sadie was an old lady in the first motorcycle club she hung out with. Sadie had looked out for her in jail and so when they were released from jail Brooke followed her and Sadie showed her the ropes of club life. For the first time in a long time Brooke felt like she belonged.
Things didn't work out there in the long run because all of the guys there had old ladies or steady girlfriends and sweet butts were the enemy. But Brooke knew this was the life for her. She would find the right club somewhere. And she finally had now. She found The Sons of Anarchy a year ago. Brooke loved club life because it was easy. You knew what was expected of you. In the real world it wasn't that simple or easy. In the real world people were hiding their true intentions. In the club world if a guy wanted to screw you he'd just walk up to you and say let's go. But Brooke was looking for something a little more permanent, she was looking for a guy to make her his old lady. And strangely enough she thought she had found that with Juice or Juan as she called him when they were alone.
As soon as he had walked into the club Brooke was on him, that was when she figured out he wasn't like most of the guys that she met. Sure they had sex…plenty of sex over the course of the week. But in between that he was interested in her and her life. He wanted to know about her as a real person and he told her about himself. The two of them had hit it off and when he had asked her to come back home with him, that was something she just couldn't turn down. She had finally made a connection with someone. Sadie had told her about this when they were serving time together. Sadie always said when you find your man you will know.
Brooke clung to Juice's body for what seemed like forever. Eventually, they pulled up onto the lot for the club. She looked around and this was familiar to her. She hadn't been there in 15 years but she definitely knew this place. Brooke climbed off of his bike.
Juice hopped off and kissed her. "Listen we are about to have church…it could take awhile. Why don't you hang out in my room until we are done?"
Brooke nodded and said "Okay sure…"
Juice smiled and said "Come on I will show you were it is." Juice walked with her into the club which was basically empty because everyone had gone into the meeting room for church. Juice walked her to his bedroom and let her in. "Make yourself at home…I'll be back when I can." Juice smiled at her and walked back out of the room closing the door.
Brooke looked around his junky room and knew she needed to clean up if she was going to be staying there. She took her knapsack off her back and dropped it on the bed. She looked around the room and started picking up and throwing away garbage. She figured she had a while because church could run for a couple of hours especially after a week long run. There was a lot to report about and a lot that was missed while they were away.
Juice sat in the meeting with a grin on his face as he listened to Bobby go on about everyone paying their dues. Juice opened his wallet and took out the money for his dues and passed it down to Bobby.
After awhile Clay looked over at Juice and laughed. "Okay, you've been looking stupid for the entire meeting. What is going on with you?"
"Oh huh? Oh sorry Clay nothing." said Juice sitting up more in his chair so that he could pay attention.
Jax and Opie just started laughing.
Tig asked "What did the boy wonder get some pussy while he was away?"
Jax laughed and said "Oh yeah daily. But he brought his back home with him."
That brought up raucous laughter from the rest of the guys.
Tig chuckled and said "You brought her back with you? At least we know you are straight for awhile I had my questions about that."
That brought even more laughter from the group.
"Screw you Tig." said Juice not finding any of this laughter to be funny at all.
Tig laughed and said "Okay maybe you hit for both teams."
Juice shoved back from the table and stood up.
"You want to fight?" asked Tig standing up laughing. He would beat Juice to a bloody pulp.
Clay laughed and said "Okay…okay…everyone settle down. Juice I am glad to hear you found a woman to keep you company."
Juice sat back down.
Tig laughed and sat down and the meeting settled down so that Clay could finish all of the business they had to cover. It was nearly two hours when they finally filed out of the room.
Tig smirked at Clay. "I am supposed to be meeting up with a few girls of mine. I will see you later." Tig had a penchant for prostitutes and he generally liked more than one at a time. Tig left the club.
Tig, Clay, Bobby, Piney, and Happy left the club for the night leaving Opie, Jax, Chibs, Juice, and Half-Sack behind. They cranked up the music and started drinking.
Juice went back to his room and walked inside seeing that Brooke had cleaned the place up. She was sitting on his bed wearing a pair of cut off denim shorts and a tank top. "Oh wow…you cleaned up the place…sorry about the mess. I don't stay here that often and when I do I never bother to pick up after myself."
"It is no big deal. I didn't have anything else to do." said Brooke.
"Me and some of the guys are drinking and shooting pool. Do you want to come hang out?" asked Juice. He knew the best way to stop the teasing about the sweet butt was to have them get to know her.
Brooke nodded and said "Sure I'd like that. I am pretty good with a pool stick." Brooke hopped up from his bed and walked out of the room with Juice following her.
Juice walked into the main part of the club. "Guys this is Brooke." said Juice.
Chibs gave her exposed legs and appreciative look. "Nice to meet you lass. What are you doing with a loser like Juice?" Chibs laughed to let her know he was only joking.
Juice shook his head. "This is Chibs, that is Jax and Opie over there at the pool table. And that is Half-Sack behind the bar."
Half-Sack smiled at her. "Hey! Nice to meet you."
Chibs chuckled and said "We call him Half-Sack because he only has one ball."
Brooke said "Oh…sorry…"
Half-Sack smiled and said "One works just as good as two."
Chibs turned the music up more and started playing pool for Jax and Opie.
Juice and Brooke sat at the bar getting drunk with one another. "You will meet the rest of the guys tomorrow. They have all gone home for the night. They are all pretty good guys but they do a lot of teasing. Just don't pay them any attention."
Brooke smiled and said "Juan you don't have to tell me. I am used to how the guys talk around the club."
Juice nodded and said "I know but I just don't want you to get offended or anything."
"It is sweet that you are worried about me but I will be fine." said Brooke laughing. She kissed him seductively purposely making a show of it knowing that Chibs, Jax, and Opie, had been watching the two of them.
Juice heard catcalls and whistles behind him. After the kiss Juice chuckled and said "Come on let's dance."
The two of them danced for awhile and drank for awhile. Around midnight Brooke was fairly drunk. "I love this song!" yelled Brooke hearing Cherry Pie playing. She hopped up onto the bar and started dancing to the song.
Chibs chuckled watching her along with Juice, Jax, Opie, and Half-Sack. "You've got a live one don't you?" asked Chibs.
Brooke took off her top and flung it at Juice. Brooke took off her shorts and flung them at Juice.
Tig walked into the club with his two favorite prostitutes and heard loud yells and catcalls. He looked over at the commotion and saw a girl dancing of the bar. He looked for a minute Tig was never one to pass up a chance to see a woman naked. But when the girl's face turned in his direction he felt his blood boil. "Brooke! What the fuck is going on here?" Tig stormed over to the bar pushing passed the other guys.
Brooke was busy dancing and stripping and wasn't paying attention until she heard an all too familiar voice. Her eyes shot to the direction the voice came from and stared at Tig's angry face. "Daddy….?" asked Brooke with a gasp and a horrified look on her face. In vain she tried to cover her bare breasts.
"Daddy?" asked the other guys in unison.
Juice swallowed nervously. "Daddy?"
"Get down now!" bellowed Tig angrily. He took off his cut and then took off his shirt. Tig took her hand helping her down from the bar. "Put this on now!" said Tig shoving his shirt at her. Tig stood in front of her to block her nudity from the guys in the club even though they had already seen more than enough of her nude form.
Brooke hurriedly put on Tig's shirt and buttoned it closed. She was still too stunned to say anything to Tig. She could feel his eyes burning with disapproval.
Tig said "Go get dressed….now!"
Juice handed her the cut off shorts and tank top that she had been wearing.
"Something longer." muttered Tig angrily seeing the tank top and cut off shorts that Juice handed her.
Brooke rushed off to Juice's room.
Tig watched Brooke hurry down the hall to Juice's room to get dressed. When he heard the door close he turned his attention to Juice looking like he was about to kill him. He grabbed a pool cue off of the pool table.
"Woah!" said Jax getting in the way. "He didn't know…none of us knew she was your kid Tig."
"Well, I thought she looked familiar." said Opie.
Jax looked at him and said "You aren't helping."
"I am going to kill you…you little bastard!" yelled Tig breaking the pool cue over his thigh. "But first I am going to ram this cue into every hole you've got and violate you the way you violated my little princess. And then I am going to gouge your eyes out." The look on Tig's face was murderous.
"Tig! I swear I didn't know she was your daughter. I met her up in Reno… at the club there. I swear I would have never crossed you like that if I knew!" said Juice running to the other side of the pool table to keep space between him and Tig.
Tig was hearing none of that. "So tell me where exactly will I be ramming this pool cue?" Tig hopped onto the pool table and leaped across it to grab Juice. He knocked him to the ground.
Jax, Opie, and Chibs wrestled with Tig trying to take the broken pool cue from him.
Brooke came back out of Juice's room wearing jogging pants that and Tig's shirt. "Daddy! Please don't hurt him!" yelled Brooke.
Chibs and Opie managed to pull Tig off of Juice. Chibs said "Go talk to your daughter man…come on…you can kill Juice later."
Tig was still seeing red.
Brooke walked over tentatively. "Daddy…please…" said Brooke in a quiet voice. She looked up into his eyes.
Tig softened momentarily seeing the fear in his daughter's eyes. "Fine…I will kill him later…you and me kid…we need to talk…now…"
"Okay…." said Brooke still scared at the moment.
"We can talk outside…" said Tig. He walked with Brooke outside of the club. He nodded toward the picnic bench and said "What are you doing here…like this?"
