I Gotta Feel You In My Bones Again

Juice had feeling that things in the club were taking a sinister turn and he wasn't sure if it was for the worse. In Chapel, guns shipments were become a regular talking point. Juice had loyalty to the club but he also needed to keep his head clear so after a run to warehouse with Tigs, Juice took his bike into the garage to give to it some much needed TLC. Juice shared a brief hello with Chib's niece, Noel, she was proving that she wasn't her to be some sweetbutt. Just before he started on his bike he checked the time, he was going out to bar in Charming tonight he just wanted a few quiet drinks in peace. The time read just after two, he needed to leaving the clubhouse by six at the latest.

Noelle nodded briefly at Juice as he entered the garage, Juice was one of the very few people that had tired to hit on Noelle since she returned for travelling four months ago. Wiping the oil onto her overalls, Noelle glanced at the clock on the wall and decided it was time for her lunch, she was nearly done with this car anyway. Noelle mentioned she was off to lunch to the others working in the garage and headed for the clubhouse. Since she arrived in Charming four years ago (much to her uncle's surprise), she felt she had been taken in by the club (she was unaware of all their 'actives'). She had also grown much closer to Chib's who shared a dislike for her father and his brother, Scott. As she entered the clubhouse she noticed it was vaguely empty, she headed for the small kitchen and went to the fridge to get her salad she made last night.

Mel stepped off of the plane and went through security to get her bags. She smiled when she walked through customs and saw her mother and Jax standing and waiting for her. She couldn't have been happier to see them. She ran over to them and hugged her mother quickly before she practically jumped on Jax, "Five years. It's been a long time, punk." Jax said as he hugged her tightly. Jax was not only Melissa big brother but also her best friend in the world. Her and Jax were beyond close. Ever since they were kids it was always her and Jax and Opie as the trio, "I've missed you so much." Mel said to Jax as she finally pulled away. She couldn't wait to see the guys in the club. It had been awhile. She was mostly excited to see Opie and Chibs. Chibs was practically a father to her seeing as she didn't consider Clay much of a father...or step-father. Then of course Opie had always been one of her best friends as well. But the time to see them was tomorrow. Tonight she was going out to a bar and she was going to celebrate her return home.

Jax quickly excited chapel and headed to the airport with Gemma. He couldn't wait to see Melissa again. He had missed his little sister dearly. Five years she had been off, traveling the world. He didn't know how she had done it. He had never left Charming and didn't think he ever would. The club was his life. He smirked to himself at those words. He always wanted Melissa to find a guy that wasn't in the life because he knew exactly what it would get her into. Jax was pretty protective over his sister and she knew it and hated it. Jax didn't care though, whatever kept her safe from the things that Jax couldn't stand to see her get sucked into like he had. Opie had almost gotten out of the life once and Jax envied him for it. But just like most people in the life, he got sucked back in.

Juice wiped the oil onto his overall and smiled, his bike was up to scratch. To avoid getting his beloved bike messy Juice headed back into the clubhouse to grab a shower in his old dorm. He still used the dorm, he kept somethings there and if he ever got wasted on Friday night at the club he could always crawl into his dorm bed. After a shower, Juice jumped back onto his bike and headed to his small home for a few hours. There he would relax for a bit before making something to eat and having a few beers before heading out for the night. Juice wasn't sure but tonight had a good feeling about it, a very good feeling.

Noelle had eaten her lunch, cleaned up and returned to the car she was working on before Juice finished up on his bike. One thing Noelle noted from her time working at the garage that Juice by far carried a lot about his bike, he put a lot of craft into making it run well and look good. Juicc eventaully finished on his bike and Noelle heard him fly past, she assumed he was going to the dorms. Noelle finished up on the car she was working on and locked by the vehicle she returned the keys to the office and made a note of what to charge. Noelle then went to tidy up her tools and clean down her work area, she was just to clock off soon and Tig had managed to rope her in stock up the bar for that night, apparently the prospects were busy on club business. After cleaning up, Noelle took off her overalls to revel her shorts and changed her shoes over to converse. Grabbing her stuff from the back of garage she headed back over the club where she began to fill up the drinks.

@ gilderoy-lockhart
Once back at home, Mel decided she was going to take a nap. She put everything up in her old room at her mom and Clay's house before she laid down and shut her eyes. The time zone changes really screwed up Melissa's sleeping schedule. Once she woke up she got a shower and then decided it was probably time that she went out to the bar. She put on a tight tank top and a pair of black skinny jeans before she put her boots back on and then she curled her hair. Once she was finally finished she grabbed the keys to her old car that Gemma was kind enough to keep for her and then headed out to the bar, parking in the parking lot before going in. She ignored the stares she got from the pervy drunk guys around her. She took a seat at the bar before she ordered a beer and then took a look around. Maybe she would find a nice guy she could "celebrate" with.

---

Jax dropped Gemma and Mel off at their house and he rode back to the club, deciding he didn't have anything else to do so why not spend time with his club. He walked into the clubhouse and saw Noelle behind the bar, "Hey there darlin'. Is there anyway I could get you to hand me a beer?" He asked with a small smile. He had never really paid much mind to Noelle, her being Chibs' niece and all. But Jax wouldn't deny that she was a good lookin' girl. If it wasn't for Tara and the boys he would try to see if he had a shot with her. But there was Tara, who wasn't very happy with him at the moment and wanted to leave Charming, she had for a while now. But now that Jax was the president he couldn't leave the club. Maybe that shit was okay before but now it wasn't. The club was his life and he couldn't leave them.

@ Loki of Asgard

Juice finished his can and tossed in the trash as he grabbed a jacket and made his way out of his apartment. The bar he was going to was only a short walk away so he had no need to drive. Juice had decided against the cut tonight, Juice had plans to not be recognized considering at night off from his regular life. So instead of the cut Juice went for a white t-shirt with some jeans and a leather jacket. As Juice entered he noticed it was not very busy but it was still earlier. Heading to the bar just ordered a drink and took a seat, he let his eyes scan the room and a blonde sat not to far away from him caught his eye. Juice couldn't help himself as he sent a smile her way.

Noelle sighed a little as she heard someone enter the clubhouse, she didn't want to be bothered. It was at this point she heard Jax's request. Noelle swiftly grabbed two bottles of beer from the mini fridge and shut the door. She stood up and turned round without a second thought, she popped both caps off the bottles on the side of the bar before placing them on top. Noelle took a quick swig out of one of the bottles before sliding the other one to Jax. "Where is everyone?" asked Noelle, admittedly she was still annoyed that she had to stay longer at the club, "Tig asked me to fill up the bar because the prospects were doing club business. My job is not to be a bartender for this club." Noelle did come off a little snappy but this was not the first time she had been asked to do a prospects job. She felt that despite being Chib's niece and working her ass off in the garage that some members just treated her like a sweetbutt when she was nothing of the sort. Noelle had a lot of pride and that could often be her downfall, it was one of the reasons her parents kicked her out of the family home.

@ gilderoy-lockhart
Mel took a sip of her beer before she looked over at the other side of the bar and saw a guy smile at her. He was good looking to say the least...actually he was probably more. He was sexy as hell. She couldn't help but thinking he was just what she needed. Probably not looking for a relationship. Just a hook up for the night. She smirked at him and tipped the end of her beer bottle at him before she took another long drink and flipped her hair over her shoulder. His hair was cut short into a mohawk and he had tattoos on both sides of his hair. She thought that the tattoos made him even sexier. She knew he was probably the type of guy Jax would never want her to get involved with. He just looked like he had a little trouble in him and that's what always hooked Melissa. She did love her bad boys. It was from being raised around the club.

---

Jax nodded in thanks to Noelle when she gave him beer. He frowned when he heard the annoyance in her voice about restocking up the bar, "I wish I could say I knew. I know that we've got the prostpects keeping watch on one of our warehouses. But the rest of the guys I have no idea. I just got back from picking up my sister from the airport. She's finally home after five years." JAx said with a grin. He always grinned when it came to talking about his sister, "I'm sorry you're stuck filling up the bar. If I was you I would've punched Tig in the crotch for asking you to do that. Because you're right. Your job isn't to be a bar tender."

@ Loki Of Asgard

Juice saw her eyes catch his, he also noted that she tipped her bottle towards. She was certainly gorgeous, the long blonde her and pout like lips drew him in. After a few beers Juice always felt a little bit more confident so that is what lead him to go over. In his mind what was the worst that could happen? She could tell him to get lost but he was wiling to give that a chance. As Juice approached her with a smile on his face he decided to turn on the charm, "What's a gorgeous lady like you, doing in a bar like this? I mean if you are planning to stay I could buy you a drink?" Forward? Yes it was for Juice but the alcohol that was giving him a small buzz was doing the work.

Noelle cracked at smile at Jax's suggestion, "I might just do that to Tig's but then again he would probably get a kick out of it." Noelle saw the grin Jax gave when he mentioned his sister, it was sweet. Noelle took another swig of her bottle and leaned on the bar, "Chib's mentioned you had a sister. Apparently she is a good kid, well that what Chib's said. Where is she anyway? I thought you might be having a good old catch up." In so ways Noelle was jealous of siblings since she did not have one of her own, her parents considered one was enough. But in other ways she was more than thankful it was just her and her parents because the fights that happened when she lived at home in England (her dad moved to England when he married Noelle's mum) tore the family apart.

@ gilderoy-lockhart
Melissa smiled when he walked over, "I'm used to bars like this. And I mean if you would like to buy me a drink I'm not going to say no." She replied with a grin before she stuck out her hand, "I'm Melissa." She stated. She was so used to not saying her last name because when people heard the last name Teller they knew exactly who her brother was and then they tend to stay away from her. She smiled at the guy sitting next to her, "And you are?" She asked and flipped her hair over her shoulder once more before she finished off her beer.

---

Jax laughed at her words before she mentioned his sister, "She's a great kid. I think she is probably out having a one person party at a bar. No doubt I am probably going to get a call later from her saying that she's too drunk to drive and she needs me to pick her up." He joked but was actually kind of serious. Mel was that responsible. If she had a beer or two she would always call Jax when she was younger for her to come pick her up from wherever she might have been.

@ Loki of Asgard

Jucie smirked as he shook Melissa hand time to get his Puerto Rican on, "Juan Carlos, but you can call me Juice." Juice nodded to the bartender who approached them. "I will have another bottle of beer and get whatever the lady wants." He assumed that this woman would not know who he was so it safe to use his name.

Running a quick hand through her hair Noelle smiled at Jax's words. "Your sister sounds like a tough kid, I think she will be alright for one night." Noelle then returned to the mini fridge and pulled out another beer, she got another one for Jax just in case. "So have you got any plans tonight? Or are you just going to sit in the club house waiting for your sister call. " Noelle had no plans for that night, she was looking to relax and maybe get a little loose. She didn't start working until twelve the next day.

@ gilderoy-lockhart
Mel smiled, "Nice to meet you Juice." She said with a grin before looking at the bar tender, "I'll take a beer as well." She said before turning to Juice, "So you've got to have a girlfriend. What are you doing wasting your time with me?" She asked. He was way too hot to not have a girl.

---

Jax nodded, "Yeah I know. Force of habit I guess." He said and then shrugged, "I was probably going to go home and play with the boys." He replied, "Well until they went to bed." He added, "What about you?" He asked.

@ Loki of Asgard

Juice laughed at Melissa questioned he then quickly shook his head. "No girlfriend, why are you interested?" Juice flashed a small as he sipped his drink, he wasn't looking for anyone if anything he was looking for a good time.

Noelle shrugged, "I've got nothing planned." Of Noelle was honest she sometimes forgot that Jax was a married man with kids. Tara hadn't been seen around the club in a while and since Noelle worked in the garage she rarely saw Jax's kids. "Well if you are heading home soon I am gonna finish this beer and head off. I've got a bottle of wine calling me." Noelle didn't really want to go back to her apartment but she didn't want to mull about the club.

@ gilderoy-lockhart
Mel shrugged, "Nope just wanted to make sure that there's not going to be a girl coming in here and trying to kill me because I'm talking to you." She said with a smile before taking a drink of her beer. And I don't need to be going back to your place and finding a girl there. But of course Mel wouldn't directly say that to him.

---

Jax nodded, "Noelle why don't you have a boyfriend if you don't mind me asking? It's not like you can't get one. You're a pretty, funny, smart, and badass girl. I'm not completely sure why the guys aren't all over you." Jax said honestly.

@ Loki Of Asgard
Juice chuckled at Melissa's response, "Should I be worried that your man might come in and beat me to a pulp?" Melissa was stunning, it was hard not to notice the looks some of the men in the dingy bar were throwing their way. "Because if you do have a man, I shall be finishing my drink and making my way out of here. If not would you be open to a round of shots?" A smirk appeared in his face. Juice had no intention of getting wasted but a few shots wouldn't harm him.

Jax's questions caught Noelle off guard, she was not expecting that from him. "Simple answer is that I don't like being messed around." Noelle did have a boyfriend when she went off exploring the US a few months back. But that ended when Noelle caught him with another girl. Noelle didn't want to be in relationship where she felt like she was the only adult. "And Jax, feel free to call me Noel, Noelle is what my mother calls me when I've done something wrong." Noelle decided against questioning Jax's motives. Chib's had been telling her for years not to jump to conclusions all the time as it often got her into more trouble.

@ gilderoy-lockhart
Mel shook her head, "Only person that would do that would be my older brother but I'm not really worried about him." She laughed and then smiled, "A round of shots would be great." She replied and signaled over the bar tender. She wouldn't be trashed after a few shots. She was really good at holding her liquor thanks to being raised around the club.

---

Jax nodded as she talked, "Well that's a pretty damn good answer." He said and smiled and nodded, "I will remember that." He replied then finished his beer, "Well I'll be off then. Have a good night, Darlin'." He said before throwing away his bottle and then walking out of the clubhouse and over to his bike then riding off back to his house.

@ Loki of Asgard
A brother, well there was always someone Juice had to be careful of. "How about we do some tequila?" suggested juice as he finished the last of his beer. A few drinks would loosen him up and with a pretty lady by his side the night could go anywhere.

"Later Jax," called Noelle as she chucked the empty bottles in the glass bin and wiped down the bar. After Noelle headed out to her car and headed home. She used to share a house with Chib's (before she went travelling) but when she returned she needed her own space and Chib's managed to get her an apartment with in Charming he paid the rent for her until she was earning enough at the garage.

@ gilderoy-lockhart
Mel nodded, "That sounds perfect." She replied before she finished off her beer and then waited for the bar tender to bring over shot glasses and the tequila bottle. Mel wanted to tell him to leave the bottle but she wasn't sure how much the two of them would drink actually.

---

Jax went home and went and played with the boys, having not seen them since the day before. He heard Abel yell daddy and Jax smiled down at his son, "Hey there kiddo." Jax said as he picked up Abel and hugged him before he started to tickle him.

@ Loki of Asgard
"Leave the bottle," added Juice he handed over the money for the shots. Juice filled up a shot glass each for them. "We don't have to finish the bottle but we can if we want." Juice handed Melissa a shot, "Cheers." Juice raised his shot glass up.

Noelle made sure her door was locked after she entered the apartment. Noelle headed for the kitchen where she looked for something to eat as she decided she poured herself a glass of wine. Noelle looked around her quiet apartment, she needed a dog she wouldn't be so lonely at night. It seemed like a good idea, she could take the dog to work and let it run around the compound but she would have to talk to Jax, he ran the place.

(OOC: Do you want to skip a bit so Juice and Mel are ready to leave the bar?)

@ gilderoy-lockhart
(Yeah that's fine)
Mel finished her final shot before she looked over at Juice and smiled, "So are we going to get out of here or what?" She asked with a smirk as she looked at him. She was usually not like this. One night hook ups weren't her thing but it was her return home so Mel didn't really give a shit.

---

Jax finally laid Abel and Thomas down for bed before he walked out to the living room and sat down on the couch, sighing as he ran a hand through his hair. Tara was home but she was back in their room. She hadn't said much to him lately. They were on the rocks at the moment. Tara hated the club and wanted to get out of Charming but Jax just couldn't do it.

@ Loki of Asgard
"Sure thing, my place is not too far from here we could have a nightcap there." Juice said with smirk, this girl was gorgeous and if she said yes to going back to his he would be a very happy man. Juice had few one night stands here and there it was all party of the lifestyle really and well his just hadn't found his old lady yet.

Noelle finished watching the film and went to wash up her plates from earlier. After she headed for her bathroom to have a quick shower and get the oil off her from the cars. She had spent the last few hours watching the film on and off while looking a dog shelters in the area on the internet.
