"Oh, I can't wait to see everyone!" Lola Martinez squealed from the passager side of her father's Truck. "It's only been 3 months, Lolly" said Beauregard Duncan said with his eyes on the road. "I know but still. I have all these gifts an' stuff from all the places we've been." chirped the pretty afro-latina. She wasn't slow, she knew it wasn't a normal vacation. They'd visited every place the KOA was in Europe but whatever. She got to spend some much needed Daddy-Daughter time with her father. Something they hardly did. She was glad for it and while she was a little upset that it was only possible because of work,but since he was usually gone because of work, she was content. Unfortunately, she was starting 9th grade and had only two weeks to prepared for that.

"Okay so what all did I get for everyone?" Lolly asked herself as she stood in her pink and green bedroom of their two-story home. She took the boxes out of her bags and set them of her bed. "Messenger bag from Madrid for Ria." She said and set the bag to the side. "Bandanna for Merc from London." She set that to the side. "Shark tooth Necklace for Jason also from Madrid." She said, with a small smile. She hoped he liked it. She knew it was so very surfer not biker but when she saw it she thought of him so she couldn't resist. "Earrings from Mexico for Nickie and Trucker hat from Texas for Deacon." She said and smiled. She ran downstairs with a smile but it faded when she saw her Daddy putting on his cut. "Daddy?" She asked. He wasn't supposed to go to work just yet. "Wh-what about dinner?" She asked, trying and failing to hid the disappointment from her face. "I know, I have to head to the clubhouse for a bit. I'll see you when I get home.""We just got home." Lolly said, her eyebrow creased with a sad frown. "I know, Baby girl but I have to work." He said and kissed her forehead. She blinked black curly hair from her eyes. She knew there was no arguing with him. He was always working. She didn't know why she expected that to change. It was her own fault, having spent 3 months just him and her, she'd gotten use to it. He only worked when she was asleep. They both pretended it was a actual vacation and he spoiled her every stop so it worked.
She sighed. "Alright. I love you, Daddy." She said and he nodded. "I love you too, Baby girl, Don't wait up." He said and disappeared out the door. "Do I ever..."

After Lolly bagged up her gifts and made her way out the door. She wondered if they'd recognize her. She'd grown a little taller. She was 5'4 so it wasn't much, She'd started coming into her womanly figure as well, she wasn't the skinny little kid, she was when she left. She had her braces removed right before they'd headed out, she still had a retainer but it couldn't be seen. She wasn't blind. She knew she had a body now. One that got her some attention when she was in Madrid. She then realized Maybe they really wouldn't recognized me She thought with a cheeky grin.
She liked the idea of surprising them, somewhere in the back of her mind, she hoped Jason would noticed.

After few blocks. Lolly saw a group of guys, one of them was extremely tall blonde. She cocked her head confused. They were crowded around bikes that she was sure belonged to her friends but they weren't that tall before. More specifically Jason. They were almost the same height when she left, he was slightly taller. It was then she heard his laugh and knew right away it was him. She walked up to them, pressed a finger to her lips after setting down her bags when she saw Nicky and Merc, who gave her a look she'd never gotten from them before. She ignored it as she rose to her tip-toes and covered Jason's eyes. She giggled, her curly hair falling over her shoulders. "Guess who." She sang happily, having a hard time keeping her hands over his eyes as he was much taller then her now.

Jason felt a pair of hands cover his eyes as he was hanging out with Merc and Nicky, he heard Lolly's voice right away and grinned "hey Merc, I think it's your mom?" he said, Nicky laughed as Lolly punched him in the ribs. He turned to look at her and took a second glance, she wasn't the same skinny kid she was when she had left. "You know you still punch like a girl right?" he said with a grin and laughed as Lolly flipped him off. "Where the fuck did you go anyway? We figured some guy had hit on you and your dad had finally snapped and taken you to some convent to become a Nun" Nicky said teasing, "don't Nun's gotta be virgins first?" Merc said with a grin, then quickly dodged Lolly's fist flying at him. "You know she can kick your ass right?" Jason said laughing at Merc. As they joked around Jason couldn't help but notice that Lolly had filled out a bit more than before, but they were like brother and sister, it was weird to think of her like that.

"So how was the Europe trip anyway?" Jason asked, having been on similar trips many times before, however unlike Lolly he always had his mom around to keep him entertained while his dad was doing work stuff. As they talked a bit more Lolly noticed something else had changed with Jason, as the four of them talked she caught a glimpse of his arm, under his forearm she saw the letters "KFFK" tattooed onto his arm. It was a tattoo members of the club got, but Jason, even though he was 16, was still way too young to be involved in the club, the club had a rule that members had to be 18 with no exceptions, but it's not something Jason's dad would have just let him get for no reason either.

As they talked they saw Ria walking up towards the group, "hey Jason's wife is coming now" Merc said with a laugh, "uh oh, it's the girlfriend" Nicky said teasing Jason as Ria came towards the group.

Lolly glared at Nicky. Ugh, he drove her insane sometimes. She spun and got him square in the ribs. "You're an ass you know that." She said narrowing her eyes. He then went on to tease her about hitting like a girl. "Hmm, You still look like one." She said with looking down at his legs with an snarky smirk.
He then asked where was. "I was in Europe. Don't you have any brains?" She said rolling her eyes. He then went on with his theory. She groaned but then her nostrils flared when Merc suggested she couldn't be a Nun. She swung but he saw it coming and dodged. How in the hell could anyone think she wasn't a virgin. She's never even had a boyfriend not that, -in this neighborhood- that meant anything but still. "Asshole." She spat as Jason warned Merc that Lolly would kick his ass. Atleast someone was on her side. He asked about the Europe trip ad she grinned brightly. "Oh, It was so-o much fun, Jason!" She chirpped. "We went to London. I got to get some super cute clothings but you don't care about that., Oh we saw so very nice bikes. I didn't even know they had such different models in the UK." She said all in one breath which was something they'd grown accustomed to. Her eyes fell on Jason's body. He'd grown alot too. She had a hard time ignoring it. She used to crush on him but that was a long time ago. They were like brother and sister...
She then noticed Jason's tattoos. The same one her dad had. "Holy shit." She gasped grabbing his arm. "When'd you? How did you?" She just smiled. She knew it was something really important to them so she was genuinely happy for him. Jason went on to speak but then Merc cut him off. Lolly cocked her head. Nicky then reiterated and she heard. "Oh My God. Lolly!"
Lolly turned to see Ria come up and hugged her. "Ria! Hi!" She grinned. "I didn't know you were coming home today." She grinned. "We've gotta talk." She said resting her hands on Lolly's shoulders. Lolly saw Jason out the corner of her eye and fought the urge to say 'No Shit.'
She knew she shouldn't have felt jealous. Her and Jason were like siblings and Ria was hr best female friend. She should be glad but she wasn't. She put on her best smile and decided, she should be happy for her best friends. Both of them. Jason of course didn't know that she used to like him and she never told Ria. So Ria wasn't betraying her or doing anything wrong. Loll smiled at the red head, ignoring how she felt. "Oh I got you all something." She chirped as she grabbed her bags as Ria went over to Jason. Lolly didn't look. Don't be a bitch... She thought to herself as she pulled out her gifts. She turned to see Ria's arms wrapped around Jason's waist. He's your brother. Just think of it that way. She told her self and that seemed to help some. She held up the bag for Ria and the box for Jason. "Both of these are from Madrid. "Ria, this bag es muy necesito" She said with a wink. "Jason. I saw this and thought of you. It's totally surfer but it was so cool." She said with a laugh as they took their gifts. Ria grinned. "Oh my god, Lolly this is super cute! I totally owe you." She said slinging the bag over her shoulder. "Muy Bein!" Lolly grinned. She could see that Merc and Nicky were both confused and probably a little 'warm' -for lack of a stronger word- at Lolly's fluent spanish speaking. Lolly typically only spoke it when she was pissed but since she was in Madrid she had to speak it constantly, so after a while it just leaked out. She hardly noticed. She reached in to her bag again for Merc's gift. "Here's this is for you." She said handing the badnanna. "That was from London. My dad was showing off my Bike knowledge to everyone there. Ugh it was annoying but they let me pretty mucn get what I want. I saw this and was Eh what the hell?." She said and tossed it to him. Then it struck her. Oops, She completely forgot about Nicky. Now, if it were anybody else, she would have went and got them something after smothering them with apology kisses but it was Nicky. So far the bane of her existance. He noticed his empty hands as well and asked about it. "What about you?" She said and reached in her pocket. "Here's a dollar go buy yourself a clue." She said with a grin and they all laugh.

Later on in the evening there was a big party being held at the clubhouse, and usually when there were these big bashes, Jason and the others would take that opportunity to throw their own parties. Nicky had found an old farm house and they set up the party there. By the time Jay and Ria got there, the music was already going, when they went inside people were already there. Nicky was kinda of the ring leader for this party, and came over to greet the guys as they got there. "Hey, the party is already going, there's drinks over there and uh...if you two want some of that special alone time..." Nicky says winking "there's a loft up there...nobody will be able to see or hear you" he says grinning. He then saw Lolly walk in, and walked over to Lolly. Jason looked at Ria "Want a drink?".

Nicky walked up to Lolly who had just walked into the barn. "Umm, sorry...there's no gay ballet going on here tonight, I think you came to the wrong place" he said with a grin, teasing Lolly as she glared at him. "Oh come on....you know deep down you think I'm hilarious" he said grinning.

Lolly and Ria caught up the rest of the day while the boys prepared for the party. They were calling it a welcome home party for Lolly but it was merely an excuse to have one. Lolly didn't care though. She loved to be the center of attention. Ria headed over with Jason. Lolly gotten over the two of them being together. It didn't bother her anymore seeing as they were both her best friends.
Lolly hung back at her place to get ready. She dressed in a short white cotton top that showed off her midriff with a white see-through sweater and light blue jeans with white laces at the bottom that complainment her shape. She decided she'd leave her massive curly black hair out and falling around her face, She locked up and made her way to the party.

---

Ria rode in with Jason. Her deep red hair was set in curls. She dressed in a black sleeveless top with a red belt and black jeans. She scoffed at Nicky. "You are such a loser." She said, knowing there was blush on her face. She managed to shake it off and smile when Jason asked her if she wanted a drink. "Yea. Sure." She said, figuring she could let loose a little.

It was then Lolly arrived, smiling. Enjoying the attention. Ria smiled at Jason. She didn't know why but she had felt a little weird when she told Lolly about how she and Jason where dating now., Maybe even a little guilty. Lolly seemed totally cool with it though. Even squealing the way she does when they would talk about other guys. Ria felt better now though.

---

Lolly glared at Nicky for his comment. "You know if you were half as funny as you thought you were. You'd be twice as funny as you are." She said and could see the look of pure confusion on his face which made her laugh. "Don't think about it. You might bust a blood vessel." She said with a pat to his cheek. She had to admit. Nicky was cute. She'd maybe consider him if he didn't drive her absolutely insane. She walked toward Ria and Jason, threw up her hands. "This is better not be all you've got planned. This is a party about me after all!" She said, flipping her curly hair. Jason had some smart ass comment to which she flipped him off for. Nicky walked up behind her. "This music sucks. Nicky. Play some real music. Quiero bailar!" She said doing a mini salsa with a grin.

Jason grinned as Lolly walked up, asking about the party. "Well the tacos should be showing up shortly" he said with a laugh, which caused Lolly to flip him off.

Nicky came up behind Lolly as she made a comment about the music. "Well if it's going to get you to dance like that more, I'll play anything you want" he said with a grin. "But honestly, where the hell do you think we're going to get that kind music" he said laughing.

As Lolly and Nicky kept bantering, Jason took Ria's hand leading her onto the floor as he handed her a drink in a red beer cup. "Damn you look good in those jeans" Jason says as he put his arms around Ria, his hands sliding south "especially your ass" he whispered into her ear as they started slightly dancing to the music.

Nicky and Lolly watched as Ria and Jason walked out on the to floor. "Hey maybe this isn't salsa dancing music or anything...but how about a dance? I mean I know I'm not like any of those hot European guys you were probably flirting with all summer..." Nicky said with a grin, "but, it's either you don't dance at all...or....you dance with Merc...." he looked over at Merc who was already on his third drink, "yeah okay...so you're only option is me or dancing alone" he said with a laugh "What do you say?"

Lolly rolled her eyes, Was he really flirting with her now? She completely ignored that comment and moved on. "See I knew I should have brought my own music. Leave it to you to screw that up." She said as Jason and Ria headed toward the floor.

---

Ria took a sip of her drink as Jason wrapped his arms around her and then slid his hands down. He whispered in her ear and she giggled. "Jason." She said with a blush. She wasn't a prude but she wasn't use to being grope in public. She let him do it though. She planted a kiss on his lips, already feeling the buzz. Dispite being Irish she was easily drunk.

---

Lolly looked over at Nicky as he asked her to dance. She knew she wasn't drunk but she wasn't sure if she'd heard him right. "Are you serious right now?" She said as he continued on. When he mentioned Merc, she looked over at him and scrunched up her nose. "Damn Merc, safe some for the rest of us!" She yelled to him then turned her attention back to Nicky. "For the record, Papi. I don't flirt with anyone. They flirt conmigo" She said pointing to herself. She actually did want to dance with him but she knew she'd never hear the end of it. "What if I did decide to dance with you?" She moved in close, her face inches away from his and her hands resting on his chest. "I don't think you could keep up." She said challenginly with a grin.

Nicky grinned as Lolly challenged him. When it came to being fearless about things the only one who may have Nicky beat might have been Jason, both guys had this mindset that they were tough enough to handle anything anywhere...something they more than likely picked up from their fathers. However Nicky had been having feelings for Lolly for awhile, which caused an issue, he knew Jason and Lolly were close, and didn't want to cause any type of rift between the two of them. There was the fact that Beau was a bit over-protective to say the least, but as possessive as Beau was, whatever would happen with Beau would be rather tame consider to other guys in the past...mainly cause other guys dad's weren't Crazy Jimmy, a thought that amused him, Lolly's dad being pissed off and Nicky's dad being pissed off, both at each other...that'd end in bloodshed.

He wasn't shy around most girls, but he didn't care about most girls like he did about Lolly. But there's no way he'd be able to show his soft side to Lolly, she'd never let him live it down...and hell if Jason ever found out about it. But he grinned at the challenge Lolly laid down. He suddenly wrapped his arm around Lolly pulling her close to him, a move which he could tell took her by surprise, something that didn't happen to often with her. Holding her close to him he whispered into her ear "Well let's find out who can't keep up with who" .

----------

Jason and Ria hung out at the party, Ria didn't seem to go too far from Jason's side, something he definitely didn't mind. Jason had been around some girls in the past, but Ria was the first one he'd ever consider to be a serious girlfriend. Ria had been talking with some friends when Jason came up behind her and whispered into her ear "Let's go check out that loft" he whispered with a grin as he took her hand and heard her excuse herself as he led her up to the loft. "Guess we're all alone up here....somebody could make as much sound as they wanted and nobody would hear" he said with a grin.

Lolly was taken aback by Nicky's wrapping his arm around her. She didn't expect him to actually take up her on the offer however she shouldn't have been too surprised. Nicky was bold. Sometimes it was completely stupid to be but in this case, it worked in her favor. She also knew if even her dad had something to say. It would be to her. She was fairly certain her dad wouldn't be mad at her 'potentially' dating Nicky. He knew him and his Dad. She slid her arms around his neck with a grin. "Someone's got some huevos, suddenly don't they." She said with a dangerous grin. He had some remark as he slipped his hands around her waist and she slowly began to sway to the music.

---

Ria felt Jason come up behind her and smiled as he whispered into her ear. "Hey, I'll be back later, Kay?" She said with a slightly drunken giggle as Jason lead her up into the loft. She smiled. "How interesting." She said to his comment and she reached up and kissed him deeply feeling a bit bolder having had some 'liquid courage' coursing through her system.

Nicky grinned at Lolly as they swayed to the music together, Nicky couldn't stop looking into here eyes as they danced. He was always supposed to be the hard edged one of the group, even more so than Jason which was a heck of an accomplishment by itself. But now dancing this close with Lolly he was noticing it was hard to keep that tough guy exterior going, he really did like Lolly and even though he'd had his share of dates and "girlfriends" having Lolly this close to him felt a lot different than any of those did.

As they continued to dance Nicky decided if he was already here he may as well push the envelope and see how far things could go between them. He leaned in close to Lolly and whispered "It doesn't take huevos to dance with somebody as good looking as you girl" he said with a grin and could tell his words scored points with Lolly, he then leaned in "it takes huevos to do something like this" he whispered, as his hands slid lower down her back, and grabbed her ass, pulling the two against each other a bit tighter. Nicky wasn't entirely sure what this move was going to do, he knew he was as likely to get punched in the face as he was to be safe, but his boldness was back and he figured Lolly was worth the risk. He looked into here eyes...there were no fists flying yet so he figured he was safe for the moment, "you know I've kinda had a thing for you for awhile....and when you came back looking like this, well...let's just say I realized it was time to get off my ass and make a move" he said with a grin, holding her tight against his body as they continued dancing.

--------

Jason and Ria didn't stay kissing upright for very long. In one move Jason had picked up Ria, lifted her over to a makeshift bed that had been setup in the loft, and laid her down and was on top of her before she knew what was happening. Jason paused a moment watching Ria. If it was just any girl, he would have just kept going till he got what he wanted, but Ria was different and he wanted to make sure she was okay with it before he kept going. The quick glance between him and Ria told Jason all he needed, and he was back on top in a moment, kissing her deeply, his hands roaming all over her body as they made out on the makeshift bed. Once they were on the bed, their clothes didn't last much longer, Jason glanced down and admired Ria, seeing her naked for the first time since they were together "damn you're hot" he whispered to her with a grin as he kept kissing her from the neck and working his way down her body.

Lolly watched Nicky's expression as he spoke. He was a pretty good liar. Nowhere near as good as she was or Jason but still. She could tell he was genuine as he spoke, as his eyes never left hers and that alone made her feel pretty good. She smiled and then had to force back the urge to jump when his hands slipped down to her ass.

Contrary to popular belief. she'd never done anything before save for a kiss here and there so she both nervous and excited. She didn't let it show though. She just smiled as he continued to talk. He said he'd been having feelings for her for a while. Like before when she was a skinny little braceface. That was a shock. She giggled at that. "Seriously?" She asked him, her face held some skepticism but it wasn't that she didn't believe him; it was simply hard to believe. She relaxed a little in his arms, smiling. "So what's your big plan? Hmm? Nick?" She asked him with a cock of her head and an arched eyebrow, trying to keep up her bravado even though she feeling uncharacteristically nervous now.

---

Jason had Ria on the bed and naked before she knew what happened but thankfully he stopped before things had gone too far. Not that it really matter, she wanted him to continue. Dispite her nervousness, She moaned softly as he kisssed down her body. Her eyes closed as she let him do whatever he wanted.

"My big plan?" He asks grinning, "I could show you the BIG plan" he says grinning, and laughs when he sees Lolly's reaction. "Listen, there's a spot out back...we can be left all to ourselves" Nicky whispered into Lolly's ear, then turned her head to him and kissed her on the lips, surprisingly softly considered everything about Nicky was supposed to be tough, hard and rough. "So you wanna go?" Nicky asked with a grin.

------

Jason grinned as Ria let him have his way, he knew this was her first time and so being the "nice" guy, he fought the urge to just go wild like he may have wanted...had it just been some girl he probably would have just taken what he wanted, but Ria was different. He eventually got between her legs, taking her cherry although being as careful as he could not to hurt her too much....something which Jason had to focus on as consideration, care, and gentleness weren't things that he came by automatically.

When they were done, Jason lay on the makeshift bed, holding Ria in his arms, they were quiet for the longest time before Jason broke the silence "you okay?" he whispered, kissing her neck softly.

Lolly jerked her head back at his 'big' plan. She scoffed as he laughed but then his laugh faded and he whispered his proposition. She wasn't sure what her answer was going to be but it didn't matter as he kissed her softly. Her eyes fluttered closed for a moment. She couldn't believe how soft his kiss was. She was stunned for a moment and it took a second for his next question to register. She smiled and nodded. He took her hand and lead her out back. Once they were alone, he kissed her again and she kissed him back. His hand roaming all over her body. Hers sliding down his chest. She liked him. Alot more then she'd realised but she wasn't sure if she was ready for that yet athough her pride wouldn't allow her to stop him. Atleast not yet.

---

Ria felt a little strange afterwards. It felt great, though there was some pain initially and she was glad it was Jason so it wasn't that. She wasn't sure exactly what it was maybe she felt a little dirty but good at the same time. It was strange. She looked up at Jason when he whispered to her. She giggled a bit as he kissed her neck. "Mhm. Yea." She said softly. She'd have to ask Lolly about this. They'd never talked about sex before but Ria just assumed like most that Lolly had done it. Maybe she could explain how she was feeling. Right now, she just lay there, enjoying the feeling of Jason holding her.

Once they got around back, Nicky's lips were back on Lolly's, and he was glad to see her returning the kiss. The further he went without Lolly stopping him built up his confidence more each time. He felt her hands sliding down his chest as his hands wandered all over, exploring the curves of her body. "I want you so bad" he whispered into her ear as his lips moved from her mouth, then down to her neck. He kept fighting back the urge to just rip all her clothes off right then and there, he didn't want to scare her, or worse do something that would piss her off. He gently pushed her up against a wall, still with his hands all over, he pressed against her and he was pretty sure she'd be able to feel his growing situation down below. The sighs and soft moans that Lolly kept making he took as his green light to keep going. He undid the top button on her jeans, and then slid his hands under the jeans, grabbing her ass as he went back to kissing her mouth. This was the moment of truth for him, if she didn't stop him here, Nicky was going to take that as his sign that they were going all the way.

-------

Jason lay on the makeshift bed with Ria for awhile. They didn't say much, Jason just enjoyed the feeling of Ria in his arms, lying against him. He stroked her red hair from time to time and gave her the odd kiss here and there. It wasn't Jason's first time with a girl, there had been two or three other girls he'd been with in the past but each time he just kinda got what he wanted then took off, not really interested in anything else from them. But this was foreign territory for Jason, he really liked Ria, a lot, her attitude and fiestyness she had in her was something that had always attracted him to her, but she wasn't like the other girls that hung around the club and maybe that's what drew him to her.

Then the fact that Jason was a teenage boy still showed itself once again, after some down time, having Ria as gorgeous as she was, lying against him, naked, only started firing up the engine again, but Ria didn't seem to him to be at that same place, with his hands gently flowing over her body he whispered into her ear "wanna do it again?", hoping she wouldn't say no. And for a moment the realization hit him...he'd never cared about what any of the other girls thought, he just always went ahead and figured if they really didn't want it they'd tell him to stop. Somewhere in the back of his head a voice told him he was starting to fall for Ria, Jason Walker...fall for a girl? He didn't think he'd ever become one of those "boyfriend" material guys...maybe he wasn't, but if any girl could make him into one, it would have been Ria.

Lolly felt herself be pressed against the wall as she and Nicky made out. Suddenly his lips trailed down her neck and it sent shivers down her spine so much so that she couldn't think straight. 'Whoa that felt good.' Was all she could think until she felt the top button of her jeans come undone. His lips were on hers again and his hands slipped into her jeans and she could feel his excitement as he pressed against her. Suddenly, she was scared, an emotion she was not to familiar with. She kept it from her face somehow and she had to force herself to think. Was she ready? It was all or nothing and if she didn't act quickly. He might make her decision for her. She pulled away from his lips, looking to his eyes, her hands resting on his arms. "Nicky...Wait." she whispered softly. A part of her didn't want to stop him but a bigger part of her wasn't ready. "I-I I never..." She felt embarrassed then. She didn't think Nicky would make fun of her but her pride also made her feel as if somehow admitting that she was a virgin would lower his opinion of her.
She tried looking at him but her eyes kept falling away.

---

Ria felt Jason's hands on her body again and she looked up at him. As fun as it was, she wasn't sure if she wanted to go again just yet. She really did like Jason. Alot. Obviously otherwise none of this would have happened but regardless. She wasn't ready for round two. Not now anyway. She smiled genuinely. "Maybe we should get back to the party." She said softly with a quick kiss. "Maybe after everyone's gone." She said with a giggle.

Lolly pulled back and asked him to stop. Part of him screamed inside, not out of anger, but agony. He was so close to being with Lolly, and now she stopped him, it was almost cruel. Had it been another girl he might have just tried pushing the issue, but this was Lolly not some other girl. With every ounce of strength he had, he slid his hands out of her pants, going to her waist, holding her. He watches as Lolly kept having trouble making eye contact, he grinned, Lolly Martinez shy...wow this was new he thought. He took her chin gently, tilting her head to look at him, "if you want to stop...we can stop" Nicky said, it killed him to say those words, but again, it was Lolly and he really did care about her. He kissed her cheek as he looked into her eyes, "you're a virgin" he said, he could feel her shyness right now, "so you turned down all those European guys to save yourself for me huh?" he said with a grin, figuring a joke would help relax her a bit. He looked back at her, "I won't lie....if you let me, I'd have your clothes off in a second" he said with a grin holding her, "but...it's not just sex, I really do like you Mamacita" he said with a grin, laughing at the shocked look on her face at his use of Spanish "what, you think you're the only one who knows stuff" he said with a grin.

--------

Jason and Ria both got dressed, although Jason deliberately waited till Ria was almost done, as he enjoyed watching her bend over in front of him. He grinned as Ria straightened out her hair, trying to make it look like nothing happened. "your hair won't tip them off, it's the fact that your shirt is on backwards that will tip them off" he whispered to her. He then laughed as she gasped checking her shirt, only to realize he was just playing her, as he started laughing as they walked back into the party as Ria punched him. "Hey...where....the heck did Nicky and Lolly go?" Jason asked looking around the crowd.

Lolly felt relieved as Nicky removed his hands and rested them on her waist. She could tell he really wanted her but he managed to swallow that down. His finger slid under her chin and he told her they could stop. Had Lolly been in the proper state of mind and had it been anyone but Nicky, She would have told him off but she didn't, She was too nervous, too embarrassed. He seemed a little surprised at the realization of her being a virgin. Her eyes fell away again as he kissed her cheek and joked about saving herself for him. She laughed a bit, relaxing some. He then whispered how he would have had her clothes off in seconds. That much she figured.
He then told her it wasn't about sex, He really did like her. She cocked her head when he called her Mamacita. She laughed. This was a side of Nicky, she'd never seen before. She liked it. She gave him a small kiss. "C'mon, Papi. Let's get back to the party." She said, quickly buttoning her jeans again and taking his hand. She figured maybe one day, She'd take him up on his offer.

Ria dressed slowly, knowing full well Jason was watching. She got a kick out of that. She fixed her hair as best she could, she knew if anyone noticed Lolly would. She noticed everything. It was almost scary. It was then Jason said her hair was fine but her shirt was on backwards. She gasped as she looked for the tag only to hear Jason laughing. She punched him in the arm as they walked out. Ria looked for the curly mess of hair that was her best friend but she couldn't find her. Jason seemed to be thinking the same thing as he inquired about her and Nicky. Ria didn't want to state the obvious but maybe they'd hooked up. She'd seriously have to talk to her when they got the chance.

Nicky smiled as he followed Lolly back into the party, but something wasn't right. As they walked back in, Nicky couldn't figure it out, but he wasn't feeling right, at least to him. They met up with Jason and Ria, Ria shot Lolly a knowing glance...Jason evidently couldn't have cared less. They exchanged small talk for awhile, Ria seemed to be really giggly and Nicky put two and two together and figured out what had happened, at least somebody was getting action he thought. Ria and Lolly excused themselves to go to the ladies room...which both guys knew was really bad code for "we gotta go talk about what just happened".

Jason was about to ask Nicky what happened with him and Lolly, when Nicky grabbed a bottle from the drink table, "I gotta go...check outside" he mumbled to Jason as he walked off and outside the barn. Some people hide their emotions well enough that you need to really know them to see what's going on...Nicky wasn't one of those people. Jason knew something was up, but Nicky was pissed off and had a glass bottle, so he figured he'd wait a few minutes first before following his friend outside.

Nicky walked outside. There was something he was feeling and he couldn't put a finger on it, and it pissed him off. Growing up with only his dad led to a few differences in his mindset and thinking than maybe some other people would have. Maybe somebody else would have been able to take what happened for what it was, Lolly was a virgin and wasn't ready to make that step yet. But that's not how things processed in Nicky's head. For him, it meant one thing, she didn't like him. To point out the obvious flaw in that thinking really wouldn't have helped Nicky much, the way he was wired, the way his brain worked said that if she really did like him, she'd have gone all the way with him. It wasn't the sex, or no sex, that was driving him to this point though, it was the first time he'd ever let his walls down, the first time he'd ever showed anyone his softer side...and to think that Lolly just didn't care about it hurt him...and Nicky, like Jason, wasn't somebody who responded gracefully to pain, for him, like Jason, the only response to pain was anger, anything less would just be acting soft.

After awhile Jason wandered outside, wishing he had the kevlar vest his dad bought him last year right now cause he knew, like himself, Nicky was never completely unarmed and probably had a knife at very least. "What's your fucking problem?" Jason asked as he found Nicky. The two of them would never have a future in counselling. "Nothing, forget about it...go back to your redhead girlfriend and fuck her brains out" Nicky snapped. "Yeah...as fun as that'd be...uh...you're a horrible liar, at least to me anyway. What happened with Lolly?" Jason asked. "What happened? NOTHING, because all that bull shit about being a nice guy, and acting like yourself...it's fucking bullshit" Nicky snapped, "you know you said bullshit twice, almost back to back right?" Jason countered matter-of-factly. Most people wouldn't feel like joking around with Nicky in this state...but most people weren't Jason either, maybe one of the few people who actually got how Nicky worked. "I mean the boyfriend stuff, sure it works for you, great...but that aint me man" Nicky said. "Well what the fuck happened?" Jason asked, still trying to get the story. "We went out back, everything was going good...then she told me she had never done it before, and wanted to go back to the party" Nicky said, maybe the only person he'd ever admit getting turned down to would be Jason. Jason was stunned at the revelation that Lolly was still a virgin, then he snapped back to the issue at hand. "That's your fucking issue? She said she wasn't ready? Fuck, what are you twelve?" Jason said shaking his head. Nicky just took a sip from the bottle and looked at Jason, "bro, do you know how many times I got shutdown by Ria? Hell I'd go above or below her waist and she'd stop me. It doesn't mean she doesn't like you...are you really that dense, I mean fuck if I get that...it can't be that fucking deep" Jason said almost laughing.

Nicky looked at Jason again, "I looked like a fucking moron to her...I got all soft and she thought I was some fucking pussy" Nicky snapped again. "Well...you ARE a fucking moron, and you're acting like a fucking pussy right now. Honestly man, she says no and you freak out like this?", somewhere in the back of Nicky's head Jason's words were starting to hit home, but he wasn't there yet. "Listen...just don't do anything stupid...or kill anyone out here alright? You're fine man, and trust me, if Lolly didn't like you, she'd have kicked your ass for trying to go that far with her....so just fucking chill...damn" Jason said as he walked back into the party.

He saw Ria and Lolly coming back, still kinda giggling. He looked at Lolly, "hey....uh...Nicky's a great guy, he's just a fucking dumb ass sometimes. Whatever happened between you two or whatever you said....in his world, translated into you telling him you thought he was some pathetic pussy...or something like that" Jason said, he then quickly continued as he saw Lolly's reaction, "Listen...Nicky is really good with one emotion...and sucks at all the rest. He likes you and he thinks he just embarrassed himself in front of you....in HIS mind. He won't listen to me...but maybe if you could go out there and tell him he's being a lunatic...he might listen to you" Jason said. He reminded himself to kick Nicky's ass later...he hated being the middle man in things like this.

Lolly walked out with Nicky behind her. She could feel something was wrong. Maybe he thought she was a flake. She kept her thoughts from her face as they met up with Jason and Ria. Ria gave her 'the look' and Lolly wanted to die. Ria'd done it and she couldn't. "Hey. I'll be back." Ria said and in typical girl code, Ria interlocked her arm with Lolly and dragged her to the restroom. Girls never go to the bathroom alone.

Once inside, Ria turned to Lolly. "Oh my god, I'm freaking out." She said and Lolly nodded. "Me and Jason...we..." Lolly looked up at Ria. Her face had gone almost as red as her hair. Lolly smiled. "Like all the way." She asked her and Ria nodded. "all the way." She said and then there was silence. "What was it like?" Lolly asked, her voice uncharacteristically small. Ria looked at her strangly. "You mean how was Jason?" she ased her and Lolly frowned. "No I mean, you know, Doing...it." She said not really wanting to say it. It took a second for Ria to fully comprehend what Lolly meant. "Wait, You've never...? You're a virgin?!" Ria almost screamed. Lolly jumped up and clapped her hand over Ria's mouth. "Yes. God, Ria. Don't you think I would have told you that?" She said and little upset that Ria of all people thought she wasn't a virgin. "Where the hell did you get that idea?" She asked her pulling her hand away. Ria shrugged. "I don't know. You're just so...I don't know. You work guys like a puppet, I just assumed you had...I'm sorry. Lolly." She said feeling horrible. There was silence again. Lolly had a reputation that she didn't even deserve. That hurt. People probably thought she was some sort of whore. Ria saw the look on her face. "So What happened with you and Nicky then?" She asked. "We made out but I stopped him before we went any further." Lolly said looking at the ground. "He must hate me." She said. Ria frowned. "What? Because you're a virgin?"
"Cause I turned him down. If everyone thinks I'm not a virgin then He must think I don't like him." She said and Ria pulled her into a hug. "No, Nicky's a moron he can't be that stupid."She said and Lolly looked at her. "Okay so maybe he has his moments." She said and the girls laughed. There was silence again. Lolly looked over at her. "So?"
Ria blushed. "Well...It hurt a little at first." She said sheepishly. Lolly looked horrified. "Only a little."Ria said shaking her head. The last thing she wanted was to scare her. "It goes away like immediately and then it just feels really good." She said and decided to leave out the strange feeling afterwards. The girls talked some more and they then headed back to the party.
Jason approached them and looked at Lolly, explaining Nicky. Lolly's shoulders dropped and she looked at Ria who pouted for her. There were two things very wrong here. One. Nicky was pissed. and Two. Jason was trying to fix it. Lolly sighed. Not only that. Jason now knew she was a virgin and was probably just as shocked as Ria.'Dammit all' She thought. Ria looked at Jason with a sad smile as Lolly walked off to find Nicky.

Lolly found Nicky with a bottle in his hand. She walked over and sat on a hay barrel. They were queit until Lolly poked him in the arm. "Hey."She said. He muttered something. "You know. Shit has seriously gone wrong when Jason Walker is the voice of reason." She said raising a leg to her chin, resting it on her knee. He seemed to relax a bit at the joke with a comment of his own. "You know. I do like you, y'know." She said. "So just cause I'm not ready yet doesn't mean I don't like you. I just means I'm not ready yet."

Nicky saw Lolly walk outside, he forced himself to cool down...things had a way of happening when he was angry, and he didn't want to do anything to hurt Lolly. Lolly poked him and made her comment, wow she was right, "yeah, not exactly the guy you'd call to talk somebody down huh?" Nicky said relaxing a bit as he looked at Lolly. Nicky was quiet...it was pretty much the exact thing Jason had told him, but this time it registered a bit more. "I just....I mean.....I just don't show that side to people very often...well never actually, you were the first one. I just thought...I dunno....I mean you're always acting so tough, I figured you probably saw me as some pathetic wuss or something....I mean you've met my dad, emotions and all that shit don't exactly get brought up too much at our place" Nicky said with a chuckle. "It was just weird...I mean normally I'm like Jay....I could care less what people thought of me, but the idea you might think I wasn't...I dunno....it hurt" Nicky said softly, again exposing the softer side he had. "And I'm like Jay...we kinda handle pain in one way only" he said with a chuckle.

Lolly smiled and looked at Nicky. The fact her opinion mattered so much to him made her like him that much more. She moved closer. "There are two things wrong with your theory. One. I don't think you're a wuss." She said "I actually thought it was nice. To see you like that. You looked almost human. I don't know where you got that idea that I wouldn't like you because of it." She said with a playful shove. "And Two, Jason like you pretends he's got no care in the world, but I grew up with the guy. I know better then anyone that's not true. Just like I know it's not true for you too. " She said with a laugh. She reached over and placed a lingering kiss on his cheek. ". You drive me crazy, Nick but I like you." She said with a smile. "I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it."

He looked at her with a grin, "don't suppose you're ready now huh?" he said with a chuckle as he leaned in and kissed her back.

"So why the fuck are they coming down here now? This aint mob territory, fuck I haven't seen one of those guys in these parts for fucking ages" Jimmy said, as the guys were assembled around the table. "Look, I know as much about it as you do, all I'm saying is that guys are starting to pop up, and if it's going to be an issue, we gotta be ready to take action, we let these guys set up then we're going to have an even bigger head ache because of it" Deke said. There had been growing rumors that the mafia was headed toward Los Angeles, and now mob members were popping up around Los Angeles. "We gotta fucking make sure before we do something...cause if we're wrong on this, and we get it wrong, then we got a hell of a fucking problem on our hands if we start dropping wise guys left right and center" Jimmy responded. "I'll make a call up north to the Sons, see if maybe we can get some backup rolling into town for the time being...if the guys in suits start seeing patches everywhere they go, it might be enough to make them keep themselves under the radar till we figure this shit out" Deke said...Beau for one, hadn't said much of anything throughout the meeting.

Lolly swatted Nicky but still kissed him. After a quick make out session. They headed inside. Just as they did, Merc suggested they play a game. "What game?" Lolly asked and Merc gave a grin with his suggestion. Ria and Lolly looked each other quickly but they were all for it.

---

Beau listened to the back and forth in silence. Caculating what thier next move should be. Something about this was off. He couldn't place what it was. "We only need a few Sons. We don't need them thinkin' we're spooked." Beau said calmly. Honestly, his mind had been on Lolly. The look on her face when he'd left. That girl.She'd been slowly turning her big bad biker dad into a softy the moment she'd entered this world. Now she was growing up way to fast. He wasn't sure what to do with her now. Admittedly, he'd been slightly avoiding her. She'd been reminding him of her alot lately too. He kept it from his face. Back to work.

They all gathered around as Merc got an empty beer bottle as they sat around in a circle. "Okay, since Lolly is the person of honor at this party, she'll go first...so spin it" Merc said grinning. They all watched as Lolly spun the bottle, Nicky was grinning hoping to be the lucky one. But nobody expected what happened as the bottle stopped, pointing directly at Ria. "Now it's a party!" Merc shouted with a huge grin, even Nicky and Jason had to grin seeing the bottle land on Ria. "I guess we'll let her spin again, she obviously is way to chicken to do it" Jason said, knowing it'd be almost impossible for Lolly to back out after being challenged like that. "And Ria is too much of a good girl to do something like that" Nicky said, adding to the challenge. Both guys knew the girls would have a hard time backing out now.

-------

"Listen, let's just find out why these fucking assholes are here to begin with" Deke said, bringing things back to focus. "Let's put our boys out on the streets, not getting into any shit with these fuckers, but keeping their eyes and ears open, start talking to people, find out what their fucking deal is in Los Angeles and then we can figure out where we go from there" Deke said.

Lolly grinned as Merc told her she was to go first. She shook her head and decided to hell with it. She spun the bottle and she dropped her head into her hand when it landed on Ria. Of course. Landing on anybody else would've been too much like right. Ria looked at her with wide eyes. Then Jason opened his mouth. Lolly set her jaw with an arched eyebrow. "Okay. You so think so huh?" She said. Ria looked at Nicky. "Who says?" She said and the girls turned to each other. Lolly looked at Jason. "Just so you know. I'm gonna fuck her head up." She said with a dangerous grin. Ria just rolled her eyes. She was know in the middle of a Jason/Lolly tug of war. None of them would lose out to the other. Ever. It was a dangerous to be whatever they fighting over.

Lolly crawled over to Ria. She gave her a little peck and turned her head to the boys. Ria didn't really know what else to do but sit there. Merc booed but Lolly just smiled. She was far from done. She turned to her best friend and pressed her lips against hers, opening her mouth some as her tongue trailed across her lips before closing her mouth over Ria's lips.
Ria's face turned a deep red as her eyes fluttered closed.
Had Lolly been thinking, It was things like this that gave her the reputation she had but when does Lolly ever think when challengened. She pulled away from Ria and giggled as the boys were quiet. She winked at them and Ria just sat there. Damn, she was good.

Beau simply nodded. "You think their ready?" He asked. He knew they were but sometimes they didn't think too clearly. He'd hate for something to happened and the knuckleheads catch one because they missed something.
