At the salon, the ladies were talking about needing to hire more help. Ice was dreading it due to Kim being so picky. "I have a cousin who's just got her license. She was top of her class. She doesn't have experience, but maybe you could do a trial period?" Sherry asked. "Do you think she'd fit in here?" Kim asked. "Yeah, she's just like me. Most think we are sisters." Sherry agreed. "Ok, tell her to come by and see me." Kim replied. "Do you think we should hire another nail tech?" Ginger asked "I'm booked solid for the next month. And once those new customers come in, I'll be adding returning appointments, and who knows how booked up that will make me. But I know I won't be able to do any walk ins for quite a while." She explained."I think you're right. Plus, we need someone for pedicures and to answer the phone." Kim replied. "And you were worried you'd lose our money!" Ice laughed. "Yeah imagine that. Turns out I'm just losing my mind! If you weren't doing all the paperwor
"Hmm?" Ice asked still looking at the paper he had in his hands. "Are you listening to me?" Kim demanded. "Yeah baby." Ice agreed. "Really?" She asked. "Uh huh." He replied. "So, I guess it's ok for me to go strip since I have no clients for today." Kim asked. "What the fuck are you talking about? No way in hell are you stripping! No woman of mine is doing that shit!" Ice huffed. "So, I have your attention now?" Kim asked. "Shit! Yes. What's wrong?" Ice asked. "Someone cancelled all my appointments for today." Kim replied. "Who and why?" Ice asked. "If I knew the damn answer, do you think I'd be in here asking you?" Kim huffed. "Look, I'm sorry. I'm just buried up in paperwork and was distracted." Ice explained. "Never mind, I'm going to go do walk ins." Kim huffed. "Babe?" Ice asked. Kim got up and walked out. She did walk ins for the rest of the day and left while Ice was still in the office. She was feeling bitchy and decided to go home and take a nice long hot bath
Kim walked over to the desk and slammed the two pregnancy tests down on it. "Congratulations Ice. You're going to be a dad. Oh and, FUCK you!" She turned around and stormed out. Ginger had heard the raised voices and after Kim left walked into the office to talk to Ice. "You heard Kim. You're fired, get your shit and get the fuck out of this Salon." Ice bellowed. Mallory left the office and grabbed her stuff and finally left. Ice was rubbing his hands through his hair and the back of his neck in irritation. "I'm sorry Ice. I should have spoken up sooner. I've noticed Mallory watching you. I also think she was the one who cancelled Kim's appointments. And I think it's strange that this alleged man only called when Kim wasn't here, and Mallory was the only one to answer the phone. None of the rest of us have gotten a single call." Ginger explained. "Fuuuck! Can you lock up?" Ice asked. "Sure. Go talk to Kim." Ginger quietly said. Ice left and went home, but Kim isn't there. He
"Baby you were stressed enough. And I didn't take her serious. I guess that was my mistake." Ice replied. "Don't ever keep anything like that from me ever again. We're supposed to be in this relationship together, and if it affects one, it affects both." Kim replied. "Never again, you have my word." Ice assured her. "Fine. Then I guess my answer is yes." Kim replied. "When?" Ice asked. "We can go to the courthouse. But we won't be able to do a honeymoon now." Kim replied. "How about a short one? Say we go to the courthouse and leave Thursday morning and come back Sunday night?" Ice asked. "I can try to reschedule some of my appointments, and maybe stay open later that Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. If I can get everyone in those three days then I can take off Thursday through Sunday." Kim replied. "So next week?" Ice asked. "The week after. I'll try to get more in this week too, so I'm not rushing before we leave." Kim replied."When do you go to the doctor?" Ice asked. "
Kim sent out texts to her girls about the courthouse wedding. Ice texted the guys. The promotion turned out to be a great idea and cleared up Kim's work schedule by half. The following Thursday, Ice and Kim went to the courthouse. Raine, Jax, Maverick, Sam, Smokey, Hunter, Steele, Carmen, I.T., and Ginger were there with them. Kim wore a white lace dress that hit just at her knees. Ice wore black dress pants and a white dress shirt. He drew the line at wearing a tie. Kim was fine with that. She had too much of that in her past. A short ceremony later and they were announced as husband and wife. "Congrats man, never thought I'd see the day!" Jax slapped Ice on the back laughing. "You and me both brother. But when it happens, it hits you like a freight train." Ice replied."Yeah, sounds about right." Jax agreed. Raine hugged Kim. "Oh my gosh! Congrats Kim! You know the house near us is for sale. And the property beside us is too!" Raine replied. "Good to know. Cause we definitel
Sam is a 24-year-old nurse. She finished her education and moved when she got an offer at a very prestigious hospital. It also allowed her to move away from her past problems and controlling parents. Sam's parents were very well off. They expected things of her that she wasn't willing to do. Her two lifelong best friends moved with her. Raine who’s taking online college classes and Kim who’s a beautician.This is the beginning of Sam's story. Sam walked into the hospital and reported to the HR department. The lady there was very nice and helped her with all the paperwork she needed to do. Once she finished in HR, the lady instructed her to report to the Emergency Room. Sam walked to the nursses station in the ER."Hi, I'm Sam. I was told to report here for my first day. I've already been through HR." Sam explained."Great! My name is MaKenzie. I'm the head nurse in charge. You'll be with me until you learn your way around." Nurse MaKenzie replied. "Is it too soon for me to ask a qu
"He finally started paying attention to her after I shot him down multiple times. I was only 16 after all. She was 18 and so in love with him. And she was so blinded to what a disgusting man he was. He was 19, and a pig. He knew he was good looking." Sam retorted. "They became a couple. He treated her like crap and she took it just to be with him. He constantly complained about her weight. She'd even starve herself to the point of being hospitalized. Mom and dad wouldn't get her help." Sam paused. "They feared what others would think. Or they just didn't want to believe there was a problem. I begged them to get her help. I even begged her. I even swallowed my pride and begged him to not see her but he wouldn't. His eye was on the prize." Sam said digusted. "Marry into my dad's family and business. He was seeing other women too. I showed my sister proof many times. He'd apologize and she'd forgive him over and over. This went on for 18 long months." Sam said with a bile taste in her
A couple of days later it's just after midnight and Sam was getting ready for her shift end. Some nights it's a little boring. All of a sudden, the song "Old Time Rock and Roll" comes on someone's phone. Then Dr. Will slides down the end of the hallway in his sunglasses and socked feet doing his best impression of "Risky Business" moves. He removed his scrub top also. And he's singing along with the words. His scrub pants are a little snug too. He's a dark-haired blue-eyed Adonis. With a couple days’ worth of beard growth. Beautiful white smile and barely there mustache too. "Tom Cruise ain't got nothing on you doc!" Sam smirked. He went over to Sam and sings to her. She's just soaking it up. The other nurses are jealous but also laughing at the show. "Shew Lordy, I need a fan. Think I'm running a temperature!" MaKenzie laughed as she fanned herself. Dr. Will went over and felt her forehead and she acted like she swoons then drops into her chair. Sadly, the song ended and he pul
"Well I'm not exactly who you think I am." Pamela started. "I know who you are." Ace interjected. Pamela continued. "I've been hanging out with the Vet MC for research." "Because you're an author." Ace interrupted. "I had a new book idea, wait what? You know?" Pamela asked puzzled. "Jax told my dad the whole story. Besides, we had you investigated anyway. While we don't do illegal things, we still are very selective of who we allow around our club." Ace explained. "So you've known this whole time who I really was?" Pamela asked. "Of course." Ace replied. "And you still want me here? The club is ok with what I do?" She asked. "Yes, and yes. As long as you know you can never write about the real club life here or mention any of our members by name in any book." Ace warned. "I would never." Pamela reassured him. "Good. Now that is settled, I'm still waiting for an answer." Ace remarked. "I'd still have to go to the Vet MC to talk with the ladies. Raine, Kim, and Sam are telli
"Lexi here is my girlfriend." TJ replied."Yeah, and don't forget it skank!" Lexi warned."Honey please! TJ doesn't know the meaning of faithful. I just have to get him all horny and worked up and he'll be mine for the fucking." She laughed.Pamela knew Lexi was gonna lose it, so she stepped back. Lexi grabbed the skank by the back of her head and slammed her face into the bar. Blood splattered from her nose and mouth. The skank was crying and sputtering."You busted my nose!" She whined."You better get out of my sight before I cut a bitch!' Lexi warned.She opened her switch blade with a little fancy move that made it hiss. The skanks eyes widened before she ran off screaming."Keep that psycho away from me!" She wailed."If you can't run with the big dogs, stay home." Lexi laughed.Pamela and Ace joined in on the laughter. Lexi walked over to TJ and grabbed his nuts very firmly and not in a feel-good way. In a warning you're gonna lose them way."Your turn. You decide here and now.
Trish turned and ran out the door. A couple guys were waiting on her and grabbed her. Pamela walked out and BJ Jr. was standing there."What's going to happen to her?" She asked."A copy of the recording we just made will be given to the police department. My guys will deliver her and the recording. I'm sure she'll be charged with attempted murder over the accident." He explained."So, you're not going to take her outback and shoot her?" Pamela asked.BJ Jr. laughed hard. "Son, you got one with a vivid imagination here. Good luck with that!""I look forward to it." Ace smirked.It's been a week since Trish was arrested. Things have been quiet. Hanna had decided to talk to Maverick about marriage."So, you remember when I was upset after your sister's wedding?" Hanna asked."Yes." Maverick replied."The reason why, was because I was jealous of her." Hanna explained."Baby, what do you have to be jealous of?" Maverick asked."She got the whole package. The guy, marriage, and a baby on t
"Yeah you have two large windows in your bedroom." Maverick replied."You sleep nude or something?" TJ laughed."You wish Romeo! But no, it's just creepy that someone will be watching me while I sleep." Pamela retorted."I could come in and help you get to sleep." TJ suggested."That's a big no! I can manage just fine on my own lover boy." Pamela declined. Pamela went inside and locked the door. Trish's car was spotted driving by. It was her first mistake she made. A week had passed with nothing happening. Pamela and TJ were still keeping up the pretense of dating. Friday night they had a party at the Vet MC clubhouse. Jokers were invited. After a while, Pamela went to the bathroom to get away from TJ. He'd kept hanging all over her taking advantage of the situation and it was getting on her last nerve. She was starting to get pissed off so she took a break before she blew their cover. As she rounded the corner to the bathroom, someone came up behind her. They put one hand over her
"It's a good plan. I've just not been able to catch her at anything." BJ Jr replied."But dangerous for Pamela. We all know how crazy these bitches can be." Ice grumbled."I'm willing to risk it. Hanna has become a great friend. Before I came here, I really didn't have any friends. So, if I can do something to help her and protect her then I'm all in for it. That's what you do for friends and family." Pamela replied."Woman you're not family. You're just allowed to hang around like the club whores." Hawk retorted. "I don't think I pulled your dog chain nor did I ask for your two cents old man!" Pamela glared at him."That's enough Hawk. You want Lexi to go in and do this?" Jax demanded. Hawk looked down at the floor. "Didn't think so. So shut the fuck up.""Well, I'm game. I'll take one for the team." TJ laughed."Oh please! Like that's a hard job. Having a gorgeous girl pretend she's into you." Snake huffed."Heck pretending will be easy on my end of course, but hey hers too." TJ sm
"What happened? Could she have a friend?" Pamela asked."It's a long story that's best left in the past. I don't think she had anyone." Hanna replied."Oh." Pamela responded."So, who?" Jasmine asked."Sorry I'm drawing a blank. I can't remember having words with any women." Hanna replied."No one who's been hateful to you? Any guys you may have messed with that had jealous girlfriends? Or any girls in Maverick's past?" Pamela questioned."I can’t... umm wait there was one thing but it was minor. And I did not go after her boyfriend. But Maverick said something to him for flirting with me." Hanna replied. "Yeah, that girl was a raging skanky bitch!" Jasmine responded."Yeah, but it was for maybe 2 minutes and only happened once." Hanna responded."Any other women said anything to you?" Pamela asked."No." Hanna denied."I think we should tell my dad." Jasmine said."Let me get Mav." Hanna sighed. Pamela, Hanna, Jasmine, Maverick, and Maddox go to Jax's office. "Dad we have a theory
While she's sitting there, Hanna came up and sat beside her. "Hi, I'm Hanna.""I'm Pamela." She replied."You're new. Just passing through or visiting?" Hanna asked."Not sure yet." Pamela replied."Would you like to join me and my friends?" Hanna asked."Sure." Pamela responded. They went over to the table where Jasmine, Jessi, and Lexi were sitting."This is Pamela." Hanna announced. That's Jessi my cousin, Jasmine, and Lexi. Jazz and Lex are like family. Our moms have been best friends forever and we all grew up together.""Nice to meet y'all." Pamela replied. Brady walked over to their table. "Sis, ladies, who's your friend?""Her name is Pamela and you need to back off!" Hanna retorted."What? I just came over to be friendly." Brady laughed."Sure you did, Mr. Player himself." Hanna huffed."Ladies. Hey baby." Maddox replied as he bent down to kiss Jasmine."Pamela this is Jazz's boyfriend Maddox." Hanna explained.Maverick walked up behind Hanna. "Hey baby who's your friend?"
He stepped aside to let her in the office. He closed the door and sat back behind his desk. Raine sat down on his lap. "Sit. What's your name?" He asked."Pamela." She replied as she sat down."Pamela?" Raine asked."Just Pamela." She replied.Raine looked like she was thinking pretty hard. But doesn't say anything."Ok you've got my attention. Talk." Jax demanded."Before I tell you I need to know that it won't go any further than this room." Pamela explained."Sweetheart I can't promise shit till I know what you have to say." Jax replied."Ok." She sighed. "I guess I'll have to take my chances that you'll understand. I want a waitress job here for some research work I'm doing. And before you get all defensive it's not what you think.""I'm listening." Jax replied. "I'm not with the cops or government. I just recently graduated with my English lit degree to further my career of being an author. Or trying to. I've published several stories but got writer’s block. Then I decided to t
"If it's TJ behind this, all bets are off!" Maverick responded."There's things going on you don't know. I'll explain when I get there. You're just going to have to trust me that I'm doing everything in my power to take care of this. I can't have you going off halfcocked not knowing what's going on." Jax warned."No promises." Maverick replied."Find Hanna then we'll talk." Jax ordered. "Son that's an order.""Fine!" Maverick agreed. They finally found Hanna's car and she was taken to the hospital. Maverick lost his shit, but luckily Jax got to him before any damage was done."Son calm down!" Jax ordered. "If you don’t, I'll have the brothers take you to the clubhouse.""If I find out that fucker had anything to do with this, I'll end him!" Maverick warned.Hanna finally woke up but before the doctors let her family in, they had to run tests. Finally, they were done and let her mom, dads, and Maverick see her."Hey honey, how are you feeling?" Sam asked."Baby I was worried sick!" Ma
