"Stay here." Alex tells Will as she hops out of his truck, rushing into the clubhouse. "I'm here! What's up?" She asks as she drops her purse on the pool table. "What's wrong?"

"Tig got a chunk taken outta his ass and Jax's arm was grazed by a bullet." Opie answers as he opens the door to a small room. Gemma is trying to stop the bleeding of the wounds. She's obviously stressed and overwhelmed as she has a cigarette between her lips with her glasses low on her nose.

"Oh my god." She gasps, looking between the four. "Gimme a few minutes and I'll get the right shit." She rushes back out to Will's truck and tells him to drive to the closest CVS. She hands him a list written on a napkin. "Can you pick this stuff up? I'm gonna run into St. Thomas real quick."

Will doesn't ask any questions. He gets out and heads inside while Alex goes across the street to the hospital.

While she was working on her nursing degree, she interned and volunteered at the hospital so she knows where things are and what rooms are least used. Alex sneaks around into a supply cabinet and snags a few things needed for stitches and a box of gloves. She quickly rounds the corner, bumping into Tara. "Sorry." She tries to sneak past.

"How're you doing?" Tara stops her. "We still need to hang out."

"I'm really- I'm in a hurry." She says as politely as possible with a smile. "I'll call you soon, okay?" Alex rushes back out to Will's truck where she meets him with a big paper bag. They silently return to the clubhouse. "I'm inviting you inside but you can go as far as the bar, okay?"

"I can just wait outside." Will responses as he watches her struggle to hold everything. "Shit, fine." He follows her inside, ducking his head as he passes through the doorway.

"Ope, get me a couple clean rags." Alex takes her jacket off, standing in her cute tight jeans and white tank top. "Here." She shoves the box of gloves at Gemma.

"Me?" Alex gives her a look that has her rolling her eyes. "You better know what you're doing."

"No pressure." Tig mutters, crying out when Alex addresses his wound. She silently, and quickly, stitches him up, dropping the sutures and clamps on one of the rags Ope brings her.

"So, uh, what's goin on?" Will whispers to Kip.

"Oh, I- I can't tell you."

"Why the fuck is he here?" Jax shouts when he looks past the two women.

"He's helpin me, darlin." Alex mutters with her eyes focused on his strong bicep then they rake over the blood stained on his white tank top. "Stop moving!" Gemma gives the back of Jax's head a smack. "You're not gonna lose your arm and Tig, honey, you're gonna keep your asscheek."

"My best feature." Tig groans as he stands. "Thanks, darlin."

"Yeah." She sighs as she takes off her gloves. Alex stands and heads to the kitchen to wash her hands. She jumps at the hand against her side. "You scared me."

"Sorry darlin." Jax says as he leans against the sink. "Thanks for your help." He gives her a small smile.

"Y'all had me so worried with the way y'all were talkin' about this." She shakes her head as she scrubs her arms. "I thought it was gonna be more like your damn arm was gonna fall off." She laughs quietly, shaking her head.Jax tucks his finger under her chin and brings her lips up to hers, kissing her sweetly. "You coming home tonight?"

That's the first time she's referred to her place as home.

Weird.

"I think so." He shrugs. "Depends if he's gonna be there."

She rolls her eyes. "Hope your arm heals and shit." Alex tosses a dish towel at him before she heads out to the bar. "Ready?" She asks the man with the cowboy hat. He nods and puts a hand on the small of her back, Jax glares at the gesture.

He follows them out to the parking lot, his jaw clenching as Will makes her laugh, his hands turning into fists when she touches his chest. "You okay, man?" Opie asks.

"I don't like him. He's sending me bad vibes." Opie chuckles under his breath. "Seriously."

"You're just paranoid."

As those words leave Opie's lips, Alex is on top of Will, his hands gripping her bare hips as they kiss. She moves one of his hands up to her breasts while she rolls her hips against his, her other hand gripping the headrest behind his head, moaning heavily into his ear. He said something that had her body buzzing and tingling, the look he gave her didn't help at all. She had him pull off behind a building and they're fucking in the cab of his truck, right there in the moonlight glow mixed with a street light. His windows are foggy as hell as a shadow comes to the drivers side along with a knock against the glass.

Will reaches over and uses the crank to crack the window slightly. "Can I help you, sir?" He pants out, swallowing hard.

"What're you guys doing? Alex?" David Hale looks past the farm boy.

"Hi." She says shyly as she tugs her top down.

"I've never seen you before." He continues, shining his black flashlight into the cab. "I'll let you off the hook but Alex, c'mon I gotta take you in."

"Why?" Will asks, looking over at the girl. "If anythin' it's my fault, sir."

"You're not from around here so you're off the hook but I have to take Miss Miller in for indecent exposure-"

"David, please. I'm sorry." She bats her eyelashes. "Can we just forget this whole thing? It's late."

"I'll tell you what. I take you in, let you sit until the morning then let you go."

"Or you can just skip the cell part and just let me go."

"No. C'mon before I slap resisting arrest on you too." David's getting frustrated. If she keeps fighting this, he'll probably file her as an sex offender or some shit so by him keeping her until the morning, she's totally getting let off easy.

Alex huffs as she pulls her clothes on properly, her hair sticking to her sweaty face and neck as she follows David to his Jeep. "Will, get outta here." She gives him a small smile, leaning back against the seat as David pulls away to the station.

"You again?" Unser shouts from his office when he sees Alex being escorted in by Hale. "The hell did you do this time?"

"Late night delight." She bites back a smirk at David's choice of words. "Caught her in a parking lot fucking some guy."

"Don't tell Sig. Please don't tell Sig." She begs the two officers.

"Fine." Unser rubs his forehead with his fingers.

Hale opens the cell for her. "What a gentleman." Alex says as she bites her lip, giving him a once over. "See you in the morning."

"Eight a.m."

Alex walks herself home, her head throbbing with every step. When she finally reaches her apartment, she sees Jax's bike parked in front of the building. For a second, she thinks about getting in her truck and leaving, maybe heading to fucking Wyoming instead. She shakes her head as she opens her door. "Where were you?" She shrugs in response to Jax's question. "Where's Will?" She shrugs again while she pulls a picture frame from her purse. "What did you do now?"

"More decor." Jax stands and takes the frame from her. "Sexy, huh?"

"Hell yeah, it is. What's this for?"

She clicks her tongue a few times. "Indecent exposure." Jax laughs loudly, actually doubling over as he howls. "It was embarrassing!"

He keeps chortling as he knocks another nail into her wall, hanging the newest picture up. "I think this is my favorite one yet."

"My favorite is this one." She points to her first mugshot. "Whoda thunk I'd be arrested for all this shit, huh?" Jax drops his injured arm around her shoulders. "You're such a bad influence on me." Those words have the blonde biting his lip, his arm wrapping around her waist only for his hand to dip into her back pocket. Jax leans over and kisses her neck, smiling against her skin.

"C'mon." He takes her hand and leads her to her bedroom, kicking the door closed behind them.

"Indecent exposure, huh?" Jax asks the girl sitting at the bar next to him. He's treating her to lunch. "How did that happen?"

"It's uh-" Alex clears her throat. She can't tell him that she hooked up with Will, who knows what he'd do? Thankfully, their waitress comes over and takes their order. "The special for me, please."

"Tex Mex Scrambler." Jax hands her their menus. "What're you doing later?"

"Probably getting into more trouble." He chuckles. "Why?"

"There's a party tonight at the clubhouse-"

"Will's still here. I can't drop him for a party unless I can bring him."

"Fine. Bring him. I'm sure their will be girls he can talk to." Alex puts a hand on Jax's, running her thumb over the back of it. "I really don't like him."

"I know." They sit in a weird silence for the rest of the meal.

Alex somehow convinced Will to go to this party and she got to drive. She parks her truck in a spot, grabs Will's hand then heads toward the clubhouse. "Glad to see you made it." Opie says, giving the two a one armed hug before he hands Will a pool cue. "Play me, cowboy." Will laughs and adjusts his pearl snap shirt, tucking it in more in the back before he bends over and hits the white ball.

Alex turns to the bar, asking Kip for something light, just a beer for tonight. "Y'know for a hillbilly, I like him." Kip quietly admits. "He's nice."

"He is." She nods, laughing as Ope gives Will a hard time about behind a redneck. "He's special."

"Indecent exposure, huh?" She turns and looks back at the Prospect.

"Excuse me?"

"I heard Jax tell Opie-"

"Eavesdroppin' on their conversations?"

"No. It's just-"

"Just what!?" Opie and Will look back to see Alex yelling at Half-Sack. "This is none of your business!" Will appears next to her, his hand on her shoulder. She clears her throat and looks down at her longneck. "Sorry. Sorry Kip."

"Wait- did you two-? Oh my god." Will and Alex look at each other then at Ope. "You guys were fucking and got caught." They share a matching vividly red blush. "Holy shit."

"Ope, listen-" Alex us cut off by her ex grabbing both of their arms, shoving them into the small kitchen.

"What're you gonna do if Jax finds out?"

"I'm not tellin' him!" She hisses back, rubbing her face.

"He already don't like me so I don't care."

"You're forgettin that I'm in this fuckin situation! You tell him, he hates me too."

"Good point." Ope says as he leans against the counter. "So you're just gonna forget it even happened?"

Alex nods while Will shakes his head. "I'm not forgettin it- y'know how long I waited to sleep with you? That day I met you I wanted in-"

"Will-"

"And if he's pissed at you, that's another sign that you should just come back home."

"You're leaving?" Ope asks quietly.

"No- I don't know!" Alex drops her empty beer bottle in the sink. "I'm not telling Jax and y'all aren't either." She grips the edge of the sink as she leans against it.

"Have you guys hooked up before?" Will and Alex share another look. "When?"

"Couple months ago when he came out the first time."

"What!?"

"It was spur of the moment." Alex shrugs, pushing her hair over her shoulder.

The door opens and she peeks around Ope to see Jax. "Fuck." Alex pushes past the guys and bounces into the blondes arms. "Hey."

He laughs as he sets her on her feet. "Hey Sack! Gimme a drink." He gives Jax a beer and Alex a glass of water. "What's up?" He asks her when they sit on the couch.

"I dunno, you invited us here."

"Where's Will?" He pans over the room and his eyes land on the two tall guys in the kitchen. "What're they talking about?"

"Will beat Ope in a game of pool."
