JOLIE WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING with a slight pounding in her head. The Unser woman could feel a pair of arms wrapped tightly around her waist and immediately knew she was in bed with Tig. Last night was a blur to her after the awkward run in she had with Happy all Jolie could remember was walking back into the clubhouse and throwing back more shots before dancing closely with Juice.

It wasn't the first nor would it be the last time that Jolie had gotten completely wasted at SAMCRO'S clubhouse and wound up in bed with Tig. They might not have hung out all night but one thing was certain Tig would make sure Jolie was save in his bed at the end of the night.

Jolie stared at Tig's sleeping face for a moment before softly unwrapping his tight grip from her waist. She noticed that she was still in her clothes from last night which meant Tig and her didn't get up to any extra activities last night — not that Jolie would have minded, but she'd rather they both be sober for that.

The brunette placed a quick kiss on Tig's cheek before making a quiet exit. She was in desperate need of a shower and a greasy burger to help with the small hangover she currently had. Jolie checked her phone as she walked down the hallway — a few calls from her dad as well as mother, and a few texts from Hale — with a sigh Jolie sent a text to her dad, ignoring her mother's missed calls and text from Hale. She didn't have the capacity to deal with those two right now.

Jolie made her way outside, grateful that everyone else was still sleeping. It wasn't that she didn't want to see anyone, it was more like she didn't want to see one person in particular. It had been awkward enough seeing Happy last night, but seeing him the next morning would be even worse. Jolie just wanted to forget about the tattooed biker that sent chills down her spine even after all these years.

"Jolie."

The Unser woman winced at the sound of her name. She had been so close to leaving, getting in her car and driving home but no, someone had other plans for her.

"What's up?" She turned on her heel towards the raspy voice, squinting as the sun shone brightly in her dark eyes.

She watched as he took a step closer to her, his dark eyes scanning her from head to toe as though he were looking for something. It was silent between them for a moment as they stared each other down, neither one wanting to speak just yet.

"I heard about your dad." Happy finally spoke as he chewed away on the toothpick in his mouth.

Jolie nodded at his words not really certain what else to say. It had been five years since they last saw each other and all those years between them had made them awkward with each other.

"I gotta go." Jolie stated as the awkwardness was becoming too much for her.

Happy quickly reached out and grabbed her arm, earning him Jolie Unser's famous death glare. Happy smirked as he kept his hand on her arm. Jolie's death glare didn't bother him if anything all it made him want to pick her up and bring the brunette back to his dorm.

"Don't you need a ride home? Unless your police escort is coming to pick you up." Happy smirked wider as he noticed the glare fall from her face, a dejected one taking over her features.

"Fuck." Jolie muttered to herself as she realized Happy was right. "Are you offering?" Jolie tapped her foot against the pavement as she began to grow impatient.

Happy nodded as headed towards his bike with his hand still on Jolie's arm, softly pulling the woman along with him.

A sigh left Jolie's lips as she followed behind him. "Thanks." She muttered as he handed her an extra helmet.

JOLIE SAT ON HER BED WITH A burger in her hands as she watched some mind numbing show. After Happy had dropped her off at home she quickly took a shower and decided it was perfectly fine for her to stay in her room all day.

Thankfully, her mother wasn't home to complain about Jolie's life and how rude it was of her to leave during dinner. Jolie hadn't been back in Charming for long but living with her mother was already becoming too much for her. It was obvious that she would need to find her own place to live and soon.

A sigh left Jolie's lips as Happy entered her mind. It was weird to her that she still felt chills whenever he spoke in his raspy voice or when his hand touched her skin. It was unusual for Jolie to still be affected by a man after so many years. She was the type of person to be done with a man after a few weeks — if they even lasted that long — Jolie didn't like relationships all of her old boyfriends were too controlling and wanted her attention 24/7 and she couldn't stand that. She was her own person and liked being by herself at times, but every man she had even been in a relationship could never understand that.

The brunette shook her head, shaking away her thoughts of Happy. She needed to focus on why she was here — her dad. No man was going to take away her focus from her sick dad. Jolie didn't come back to Charming to get caught up with anyone from SAMCRO.
