BACK AT JOKERS MC Kim finished Raven's hair and she was ecstatic over it. "You are a genius! So, I hate to ask, but the girls are begging me to ask if you would style their hair for the wedding tomorrow?" Raven asked. “Sure, why not." Kim smiled. "And would you please stay for the wedding?" Raven begged. "Yeah, I can do that. I have nothing else to do. Nothing waiting for me." Kim agreed. "Ah come on. A gorgeous woman like you has no man?" Raven asked. "Recent break up." Kim explained. "Girlfriend tell me all about it." Raven replied. Kim told her what happened, leaving out the MC part. "I know what's wrong, you need a real man, a biker!" Raven smiled. "Umm, have you heard of the Veterans MC?" Kim asked. "Of course. Their Prez is Bear's son Jax." Raven replied. "Are y'all rivals?" Kim asked. "God no. We're allies as far as I know. Our clubs have coexisted peacefully since Blackjack took over almost 40 years ago. Now his son took over and is following in his footsteps. He
"Ok. It was a misunderstanding, no harm no foul. We can let this go. I'll move all my men out." Jax replied. "Appreciate it brother. Just know I owe you one." BJ Jr. replied. "Ok. Let's go." Jax ordered. "I'm not going." Kim stated. "Oh yes you are." Ice replied. "No, I am not! I promised Raven and her bridesmaids I would do their hair tomorrow for her wedding." Kim replied. "It's ok Kim." Raven replied. "No, it's not. I made a promise to do your hair and your bridesmaids, and I intend on keeping it." Kim replied. "You aren't staying here." Ice replied. "Yes I am. We’re over remember? You have no say so over me! Then tomorrow I'm going home to my parents’ house." Kim explained. "We will talk about that later. But I am not leaving here without you." Ice warned. "Ice, if it's ok with Kim you are welcome to stay with her. I have promised her no harm would come to her as she's under my protection." BJ Jr replied. "Are you leaving with me now?" Ice asked. "Nope." Kim replied.
Ice had the prospects carry her stuff to his room. "If you want a waitress job at the bar until you find another salon, I could set you up." Raine replied. "It's looking like I'm going to have to find a new profession." Kim replief. "Is there really nowhere you could work? I know how much you love it. And you are amazing at it! The best in the area in my opinion." Raine replied. "Yeah, it's all I've ever wanted to do. But I love Ice more, and I love being near my best friends." Kim replied. "How hard would it be to have your own salon?" Raine asked. "I'd love to but afraid that's not happening. It takes a lot of money that I don't have. And I'm not asking my parents." Kim replied. "There are business loans." Sam replied. "What about Ice?" Raine asked. "What about Ice?" Ice asked. The girls jumped as they were so engrossed in their conversation, they hadn't heard him come up behind them. "I was asking Kim about her opening her own Salon." Raine explained. "That's a great id
"This was your first club anyway." Vixen replied. "I'm too old to prospect." Crash begun. "You wouldn't have to. They are the same charter, you'd just transfer." Vixen explained. "Why can't you move in with me?" Crash asked. "I've been running for a while. I miss my son. My first grandchild is about to be born. I don't want to miss a minute of it. I want to be here for them and his or her childhood." Vixen explained. "Anthony, don't make me choose between my son and grandson, or you. You know who I'd have to choose." Vixen pleaded. "Impossible situations. Story of my life." Crash sighed. JAX AND RAINE "I feel like a beached whale!! Raine complained. "You look gorgeous! That's our baby in there. Now are you ready for my big surprise?" Jax asked. "You know I am." Raine replied. They got in Jax's truck. "Why are we taking your truck? My Buick is much nicer and easier for me to get in." Raine muttered. "I'm just taking advantage of the last few days we have and can be in my t
They opened the doors and there was a line of people who crowded in. Half of it was the MC, but the other half are Kim's long time customers. After about thirty minutes Ginger came over to Kim. "Ok so I already got the first two weeks booked. I know you said only walk ins today, but some are begging to make an appointment to make sure you get them in today." Ginger replied. "Just tell them to sign in, and I will get to them. But 7pm is my cut off. No names added after that. As that time frame will put me in here till probably midnight." Kim explained. "Ok boss." Ginger replied. "Please. Just Kim." Kim pleaded. "You can call me boss." Ice grinned. Kim smacked him in the chest shaking her head no. "Hey, don't get funny with my Old lady!" I.T. warned. "Ok enough! I gotta get back to hair. Now all of you scoot and make yourself useful. Help Ginger with customers and help make them comfortable while they wait. We're gonna be here awhile!" Kim commanded. "I'll get the drinks." Rain
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
