Realistic or Modern Put It Into Speed Drive

He nodded and poured some coffee, sitting down and watching her. “I got a meeting with Alex. Things are starting to get a little tense with the North chapter so he wants to send a couple of us up there to sort it out.” He told her. “I’ll be gone a couple days for that one.”

She nodded and smiled, heading out there and getting it sorted before finally getting set up at the bar, raising an eyebrow when she noticed him come out with a mess of paperwork and sit at the end of the bar to do it instead of in the office, smiling to herself a little. She wasn’t stupid. She knew what he was doing bud she wasn’t about to give in and give him any special attention. He was her manager anyway. And she didn’t want to have to move again

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max pouted some and gave him a small nod "You tell Alex he owes me for how much he has you going out of town. This is the fifth time in two months." She murmured before pecking his lips gently before pouring herself a cup of coffee as well.

Eddie bit his lip as he heard her moving around out front. He moved himself out there with his paperwork hoping he was being sneaky about his real intentions for being out there. He wanted to see her and be near her, her presense was nice to him. He stole glances at her whenever he could but soon turned beet red when he got caught.

 

[decadent-rider]

She knew he’d been watching her and when she finally caught him in the act she couldn’t help but smile. “Something on your mind?” She asked him.

He chuckled and nodded. “I think if you asked him he may just say yes to be honest. But like I said it’ll only be a couple days.” He promised “You can stay here if it makes you feel better.” He told her

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie went a little wide eyed "Wha...oh uh no just this paperwork.." he said as quickly as he could and lifting up the papers before he scurried back into the office just as Jess came in.

Jess smiled softly at Carmen as she came in for the night "Hey sweetheart, everything look up to snuff for tonight?" She asked while she put her things in a lock box under the bar.

Max gave a small nod and sighed gently "I may take you up on that offer." She murmured before glancing at the time "I better head to the studio before Luanne starts bitching at me."

 

[decadent-rider]

He nodded and pecked her cheek, “alright beautiful. I’ll see you later alright?” He smiled, pecking her cheek and headed to his bathroom to take a shower.

She nodded and smiled some. “Hey Jess… Eddie isn’t uh…. He’s not a creep right? I just… he wouldn’t leave me alone last night and I’ve just been catching him watching me.. do I need to worry?” She asked her

 

[Forever6A7X]

Jess rolled her eyes and gave a small laugh "Eddie is beyond harmless, he's just oblivious when it comes to women. He may be a looker, but the boy is just about clueless with women. He only knows how to flirt if they come up first." She explained before smiling at her "If its making you any kind of uncomfortable though, let me know and I'll set him straight."

Max made her way to the studio and sighed heavily as she got in hearing some of the girls talking about Jon. She rolled her eyes as she made her way to the office seeing Luanne there "Mornin.."

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded and smiled. “No no… it’s fine I just… wanted to make sure.” She told her and carried on with work til the evening. Her shift was over and she was about to leave when her phone pinged and she ended up stood in the office doorway frowning at it until she heard a male voice behind her, making her shriek and turn to punch them, gasping when she saw it had only been Eddie.

She frowned over at the young woman, shaking her head. “You’re late. Again.” She muttered. Luanne had liked max once. The first time around. When her and jon were younger and before max had left and broken his heart. She’d only given her the job this time affer jon had begged her to. She didn’t trust that the girl wouldn’t do it again

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie smiled happily as he followed Carmen into the office wanting to tell her thanks for the good job. He yelped though when her first connected perfectly with his nose "Shit! Damn girl I'm gonna make sure to never piss you off." He joked as he held his nose and went to grab some paper towels to stop the bleeding.

Max nodded some and gave a small frown "I know I'm sorry. I was at Jon's." She said before sitting down "You need me in the office or doing shoots today?" She asked while signing in. She sometimes helped out with photoshoots for Luanne even though it wasn't her favorite thing.

 

[decadent-rider]

She quickly followed, grabbing an ice pack out the first aid kit and frowned. “Shit. I’m so so so sorry I didn’t mean to do that. You scared me and I just reacted. I’m so sorry it’ll never happen again I promise!” She told him quickly.

“desk today. I hear Jon came home missing a tooth last night.” She muttered, finishing up with a few messages on her phone and just shook her head. “Make sure you don’t just wander out the back and make a load of noise again today.” She told her and stood up, heading round to her own office

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie gave a small shake of his head letting her check him over "Oh stop it, it was my fault. I shouldn't have snuck up on you." He explained before smiling some at her "Don't worry about it alright? I've had worse done to me."

Max rolled her eyes a bit and gave a nod "Yeah but he'll be alright." She said before giving a heavy sigh. She shook her head a bit at the comment of keeping things quiet "Then tell Ima to stay away from me." She muttered

 

[decadent-rider]

She just nodded slowly, tensing as he reached a hand up towards his face but soon relaxed when she realised he was jjst inspecting the damage. “I’m so sorry. I’ll uh… I’m gonna head out.l she mumbled, feeling awful about it but she had been so spooked by the text alongside him being so close to her.

Jon was already at home by the time she got back and smiled some. “Hey. No club tonight. Just you and me. I ordered a pizza, wine is chilled and ready. Nice quiet night for us.” He promised.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie inspected the damage frowning as she went to leave "Wait!" He called but sifhed seeing she'd already rushed out. As the next month went on he had gotten closer to Carmen with just talking and getting to know her. He'd assured her that she was okay after punching him, but it did take atleast a week to convince her of it.

Max sighed softly as she pulled up to the clubhouse for the party they were hoasting that night. Things had been a little tense between her and Jon lately. He had been overworked lately and he was stressed beyond belief. She was thankful though that he had made time for her when he could through it all.

 

[decadent-rider]

It was meant to be a day off for Carmen but she’d gone to get a bunch of errands done and realised she left her purse at the bar last night after being so exhausted she had just wanted to get home. So she was going in to collect it, knocking on the office door before walking in and smiling in surprise at Eddie being there. “Where’s Charlie?” She asked him, plopping down into the chair on the opposite side of the desk, kicking her feet up onto it.

Jon groaned a little, feeling the alcohol wipe touching the slice above his eyebrow, grumbling when Ima told him to quit complaining. “I didn’t start it for once though.” He muttered. “I shouldn’t be dealing with this.” He was exhausted and hadn’t even noticed he’d bumped into someone at the party until they started shoving on him which had led him to be sat down in his group of friends with Ima hovering over him with a first aid kit and Jon hoping max would get there soon so he could take hee back to his place

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie looked up when the door to the office opened and smiled widely seeing Carmen there. "Runnin late, what are you doing here? Couldn't stay away from me?" He teased knowing good and well that she was there for her purse. He had noticed when he had gotten in that morning.

Max walked into the clubhouse area when Aaron told her thats where Jon had went. She immediately saw red though when she got in and saw Ima straddling Jon's waist not even seeing the first aid kit by them. "What. The. Fuck. Do you think you're doing?!" She yelled as she went over and forcefully yanked Ima up by her arm to get off of Jon.

 

[decadent-rider]

She smiled and shook her head a little. “Whatever helps you sleep at night Munson.” She told him. “No I was gonna go do some shopping and I realised my purse is here. I was so worn out I forgot it. Hey did you see that new horror movies coming out soon?” She asked. “No one else wants to go see it, thought I’d ask you if you wanted to join me?” She smiked.

He frowned at the sudden noise, starting to believe he may be a little concussed on top of everything else and frowned as he watched max shove ima to the floor. “Hey hey hey what the fuck are you doing?!” He questioned her. “Jesus babe, she was just helping me out.” He muttered.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie chuckled and pulled her purse out to hand it to her "You askin me on a date?" He teased smiling wide when he saw some blush creep onto her cheeks "I'd love to go with ya. I'm always down for a horror film."

Max glared at Ima shaking her head some "You keep your fucking hands off of him bitch." She spat before looking at Jon noticing the small cut above his eye "I don't care, she needs to keep her hands off of you." She said before storming off to the back. Ima was the worst about giving her shit when it came to Jon. Always making comments about how she wasn't good enough and he needed a real woman.

 

[decadent-rider]

Jon grit his teeth and shook his head after helping ima up and apologising to her, ignoring the pounding in his head as he made his way after max, slamming the door behind him and grabbed her arm. “No. Get up. Get up we’re leaving.” He spat, furious.

She smiled as she watched him some. “More like you got enough hair for me to hide behind if it gets too scary.” She teased. “Alright then. I’ll sort out tickets later on, let you know soon as I got em.” She stood up then and started to head out.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max glared at him and yanked her arm from his grasp "Don't fucking grip my arm! That fucking skank had it coming!" She spat as she watched him.

Eddie smiled widely and chuckled while fluffing his hair "Oh ya know, it is pretty nice." He chuckled before giving a small pout "Aw and here I was enjoying your company."

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen rolled her eyes and shook her head. “Goodbye Eddie!” She called behind her as she left, heading out to get her errands run

Jon shook his head and stopped her from leaving, keeping her against the wall. “Fucking look at me. She was sorting out my head. Try a decide if I need to go get it stitched or not. I know you hate her I get it but goddamn it max fucking rein it in!” He yelled at her. “I work my ass off here and I come home and make sure I’m making time for you as well and all I’ve been hearing is you bitch and moan about the other women and I’m fucking sick of it! You are the only one who is causing fucking issues. You think you’re the only one who has to deal with the hang arounds?! Get your fucking head out of your ass!” He spat, finally stepping away. This had been building for weeks for him and tonight mixed with his exhaustion and the pain in his head had been the final straw.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie sent her a text later that evening just giving a casual hello wanting to know what she was up to since he was bored out of his mind.

Max frowned deeper and pushed him off of her "You really think Drew would let Jess be disrespected like those women disrespect me?! You think any of them would allow their old ladies to be disrespected in this way?!" She spat before shaking her head "Yeah I'm not the only one who deals with them; but the others put them in their fucking place."

 

[decadent-rider]

He grit his teeth before finally responding. “Because you’re not an old lady are you?! My god you really think that after everything you put me through last time that I was giving you that title yet? You think the club has respect for you in the first place after what you did the first time around?!”

Carmen frowned as she glanced at the text before turning her phone off completely, a little paranoid right now but at the same time feeling bad. It wasn’t eddies fault and he certainly didn’t know what was going on anyway so she couldn’t blame him

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max stopped dead in her tracks when she heard him. She took a deep breath and gave a small nod "We were young and dumb....I thought I'd done enough to prove myself that I'm here to actually fucking stay. I'll go home, you decide whether I'm enough or not because I'm not staying in a relationship if you're going to hang my past mistake over me the entire time. I don't hang your part in our break up over you." She said in a quiet voice before leaving the room and eventually the clubhouse without another word.

Eddie frowned softly when she never responded and sighed heavily. Maybe she'd reply some other time.

 

[decadent-rider]

She headed in for her shift the following afternoon and smiled a little at him, "Hey, I got tickets for tonight. I saw that we both get off at 5 so I made it for 6:30." She told him.

Jon sighed heavily and watched her walk off, shaking his head before going to get his keys and try to leave, frowning as Alex stopped him and told him to stay at the club house for tongiht so he wasn't driving with a concussion and Jon just grunted in agreement, heading to find a back room to go lay down in, wanting the night to be over with already.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie gave a small smile at her when he heard Carmen "Oh yeah? Sounds great!" He said happily as he watched her. "How was your evening? Get all those errands ran?" He asked sweetly

Max was at home the next day not talking to Jon. She wondered if he would talk to her, or if he'd just let her go.

 

[decadent-rider]

Jon had woken up with a pounding headache, not in the least bit surprised by that but he finally managed to get up around 12, going out to the front to grab some water and get one of the girls to mention to Alex that he wouldn’t be working today and just went back to bed.

Carmen tensed a little and just shrugged. “It’s over. New day right.” She mumbled checking over the schedule and frowned seeing she had a lot of the late night finishes on this week, chewing on her lip before finally deciding to not raise a fuss about it for now
