– Harley –
“Okay, how is the engagement going?” I ask instead, let’s see how long we can play this off for maybe he will forget “Harley” His voice is now stern, okay maybe i cant get out of this one. “Si papa estoy escuchando” (Yes dad I’m listening) I reply, now I’m just being a smartass but it’s funny to get him riled up, he stares at me with a confused look on his face but shakes his head and stares at me again.
“To answer one of the questions bouncing around in that little head of yours no, I didn’t know I had another kid. The only person I can think of is someone I met in college before I found your mother, we slept together after a weekend of heavy drinking and partying that was it” He leans back in his chair and shrugs, “Well that can’t ‘be it’ grampa think a little harder” I reply to which he just smirks back at me.
“Got a call a few weeks later saying she was knocked up, we met up to talk about it and discuss our options. I was honest and I told her I wasn’t ready to be a dad, she understood so I told her I’d pay for an abortion if she chose that path to go down, she agreed it was the right thing to do and took the money that day. I didn’t hear from her again I tried to get in contact to see if she was okay but it was like she dropped off the face fo the earth, I presumed she got it done and moved on with her life, I must have been wrong” He sighs heavily and closes his eyes.
“If I had of known she kept it I would have at least sent her some money to raise him, it would have been the least I could have done, I don’t know why she wouldn’t have told me” He says shaking his head. “I’m sorry I killed him before you had the chance to ask…” I mumble while chewing on my bottom lip, I watch as he just shakes his head at me “I know you always have a reason to doing what you do, he must have said or done something stupid to get that result from you”.
“Yeah well he seemed pretty fucking stupid to me, so it’s a win-win. I’m still your favourite child and he got a late-term abortion” Dad just laughs and throws his head back “You will always be my favourite princess” He grabs my hand from across the table and leaves a kiss on my knuckles “And don’t you forget it” I stand up and lean on the table to kiss his forehead “Now if you will excuse me I want to see my grandson” He stands up from the table and nods his head towards Jax before walking off.
“Well that was easier than I expected,” I say leaning back in my seat, “Indeed it was, he took it a lot easier than I thought he would have” Jax replies looking over to the small crowd around Elijah. “I’m going to go and get the prospect to find out some information on Annie, I’ll be back in a second. Don’t get into too much trouble and keep an eye on our little man” Jax says leaving a kiss on my temple, I watch him as he walks up the stairs towards the prospects rooms.
I get up and walk over to the bar to be met by Blaze “What can I get you Mumma?” He asks as he wipes down the bar, he insisted that he works behind the bar if there’s nothing to do around the clubhouse, easy way to meet the ladies apparently. “Whiskey on the rocks” I reply as I lean against the wooden bench, “There’s the little kitten” I hear a somewhat familiar voice say from behind me.
I turn around and am met by Popeye, or better known as Ice. “What do you want Popeye?” I ask turning my back to him once again, he puts a $20 note on the table infront of Blaze and I. “Grab me a beer kid, and put this lovely ladies tab on mine” He says as he sits down next to me, Blaze looks over to me and I slightly shake my head.
“I don’t need you to buy me drinks in my own clubhouse,” I say as I sip on my whiskey, “Cant i just do a nice thing for a nice lady?” He asks raising his eyebrow at me while slightly smirking, “I’m sure form what you have heard you would know im not a very nice lady” I reply looking at Blaze infront of us. He slides a beer infront of Ice and goes back to drying glasses but stays infront of us, I’ve taught him well.
“Well I can still work with that, I’m sure Killer won’t-” He starts but I turn my head to face him “He won’t what? Won’t mind you hitting on his wife? Won’t mind you trying to pick up the mother of his child? The only thing he won’t mind doing is putting your body 6ft under” I hiss. I turn my head back to face Blaze who is trying to hold back a smile and laugh, “I was going to say he wouldn’t mind sharing, he never used to back in the day”.
“Back in the day? Dude, he doesn’t even know you” I roll my eyes as I tap my fingers on the bar for a refill as i finish off the first drink. I look out the corner of my eye and see my dad and Wood looking over in our direction as Poppy and Betty play with Elijah, “He might not know me as Ice, but I’m sure he would remember me from our prospect days” He replies smugly, “Did he ever tell you about Samantha?” He asks looking over to me again.
“What the fuck are you on about now?” I groan placing my forehead on the bar infront of me, don’t smash your head in Harley, don’t smash your head in. “Samantha, idiot almost proposed to her too. Used to tell me all about how she was the one, the most perfect person he had ever met. Sweet, kind, caring, loving. The total opposite of him… and well you. Always told me that he was going to marry her and start a family, a normal family, she got rid of his tendencies, calmed down his demons, made him a better man. Damn, I wonder what happened” He finishes his sentence with a laugh but all I can feel is my blood boiling.
I look from Ice to Blaze who’s face has paled, “I suggest you shut your fucking mouth before I permanently shut it for you” I growl under my breath but loud enough for him to hear me. “God she was stunning, the total opposite of you which is why I find it weird that youre his type. Dark brown hair, deep brown eyes, no tattoos, tanned skin with freckles. No tattoos or scars or whatever, an angel, wouldn’t hurt a fly” He finishes, I stand up straight and turn around to face him “Well it’s a good thing I’m the fucking devil”.
I grab his beer bottle and smash the end of it on the bar I use my free hand to grab him by his cut pulling his face towards mine, our noses touch and I place the broken bottle at his neck, slightly pushing the glass into his skin “If you’re coming in here for a room or a fucking family I suggest you learn how to keep your fucking mouth shut. If it has nothing to do with you shut your fucking mouth. The quicker you learn the longer you will survive, I do not tolerate any shit stirrers”.
“He always said she was the best fuck he had ever experienced too” He says smugly while smiling at me again, I move my hand from his cut to his head grabbing a large chunk of his hair in my hand, “I fucking told you” I begin as I smash his head into the bar once “To learn how to keep your fucking mouth shut” I lift his head up and slam it down again, “I will not hesitate to kill you infront of everyone here, fucking try me, please. You can be Blazes next experiment, I must say myself he’s learning very quickly”.
“He’s going to get bored of you kitten, he likes the sweet and innocent ones. But when he does throw your sweet little ass to the side I’ll be here to catch ya, I like em loud and feisty” He smirks one more time and I’m fucking livid. “You have got to be the dumbest motherfucker to have ever lived” I laugh as I ram the broken bottle into the side of his stomach, he hisses out in pain but still manages to stand there smiling at me.
I pull my pocket knife out of my pants pocket and swing my arm out towards him slashing his cheek, he lifts his hand to his cheek and smiles once again when he sees his blood on his fingers and palm. “God, you’re even sexier when you’re pissed” I squint my eyes at him “Are you really this fucking stupid? That’s it I’ve had enough” I throw my hands up in the air and jump over the bar top grabbing the shotgun from underneath the bar.
I cock it and aim it at Ice who’s still standing there with blood pooling at the side of his body and cheek, Blaze’s arms wrap around me pinning my arms to my sides so I’m unable to get a good shot in. I can see my dad storming over here taking the safety off of his gun, “KILLER” Blaze calls out over everyone in the room, seconds later Jax runs down the staircase and as soon as I see him I want nothing more than to rip his eyes and tongue out for what Ice said but I need to be smart about this, find out the truth first then choose what to do next, don’t jump to conclusions Harley.
“What the fucks going on here kitten?” He asks walking over to us, “Why don’t you ask your best mate over here” I yell as I try to wiggle out of Blaze’s arms, damn his fucking strong. “What the fuck are you on about Harley?” He asks running his hands through his hair until he is met by Ice. “Don’t even start on her boy, it was this little prick the whole time” Dad says shoving Ice in the back towards Jax. “You said to come back in a few hours, now a good time?” He asks nonchalantly.
“Nah fuck you Popeye you can wait, who the fucks Samantha Jax?” I ask turning my attention back towards him, he freezes when I ask the question and all I can do is laugh. “Who is she?” I ask more calmly this time, I continue to try and fight my way out of Blaze’s grip. “She’s my old fuck” He tries to play it off, “Killer my man, are we just going to forget that you claimed right here all those years ago?” Ice says with a shit-eating grin on his face.
“What?” I ask Ice not bothering to look at Jax, “Yep claimed her infront of everyone, i still remember it like it was yesterday”. I stop fighting Blaze and my eyes travel down to my cut before looking over to Jax, “When does it stop Jax? The lies, the secrets, when does it fucking stop?! ‘I’ve never loved someone the same way I love you’ ‘Youre perfect Harley’ ‘blah blah fucking blah’!!!” I scream unable to control whatever emotions I have pouring through me, “Kitten, please just listen” He starts but I shake my head, “Blaze let go of me” I say softly turning away from Jax, I need time to breathe and calm down or I’m going to blow up.
Blaze doesn’t let go of me only tightens his arms around me, “If you’re not going to let me go at least carry me into the basement” I say quietly looking down at my feet, i can’t look at anyone right now I’m going to snap. Blaze doesn’t move but I can hear him sigh deeply, “I will only take you down there if you teach me, can’t have you all bloodied when you come back to get your baby boy. And only an hour, this is his night” I groan and nod my head “Fine”, he let’s go and links our arms together, “Let’s go hurt some people crazy pants”
