Two days had passed since Tara's last encounter with Jax.

Every day at the diner she would hope he would come walking through the door with his swagger walk and shaggy hair.

It was Finally Friday. Tara had made plans with her best friend Wendy. They were going to go see Transformers and go out to eat at a restaurant in Lodi. It wasn't very exciting but Tara enjoyed doing the small things with her childhood best friend.

It was 6:00 Tara was finishing up her makeup when she heard someone knocking on her door.

"BE THERE IN A MINUTE" Tara screamed thinking it was Wendy coming to get her early.

Tara ran to the door half dressed with her shoes in her hand.

Opening the door Tara says "I thought you said you would be here at 8! I'm not ready yet!"

Looking up Tara's face felt hot and she could tell her cheeks were turning bright pink. Jax just stood there looking very amused.

"I didn't know I had set a time." He says with a smirk

"Do you always answer the door like this?"

Looking down Tara realizes she doesn't have any pants on and is wearing a lace tank top.

"I .. Uhh.. Sorry. I wasn't expecting you. I thought you were Wendy."

"Don't worry about it darlin' i like what I see." He says with a devilish smile.

Quickly turning around Tara runs to her room and puts on a pair of sweats so she could at least try and talk to Jax.

Coming back into her living room she sees Jax still standing in the same spot he was before. She felt kind of bad for just leaving him there but she didn't know what else to do. She was never a good people person.

"Do you wanna come in?" She finally said with a small grin on her face.

"Sure!" Jax said slowly stepping into her house.

"Nice place you have here, do you live alone?" He asked cocking and eyebrow.

"Yeah, most of the time. Dads always away on business and my mom died when I was 8." Tara felt bad lying to Jax but how could she tell him that her daddy beat her and most of the time he was too drunk to even remember it the next day. Honestly she didn't even know where he was.

"Sorry." Jax said knowing the feeling. He lost his dad a couple months back due to a family heart condition.

"It's alright." Tara said tears starting to swell in her eyes. "I manage." She said trying to smile the best she could.

Jax changes the subject realizing the tears in Tara's eyes. "Why are you all dressed up? Goin' on a hot date?" Jax says laughing.

Smiling Tara says "If you call going to a movie with my best friend a hot date then I guess so."

Suddenly there was banging on the door. Tara knew that had to be Wendy.

Relieved that her best friend was finally here to help her get through this awkward situation, Tara ran as fast a she could to the door.

"Hey T! I've called you like 20 times! What the hell!" Wendy says with a scolding look on her face.

Tara slowly opens the door so windy could see Jax standing in her living room

"Tara Grace Knowles! Why the hell didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend!" Wendy yelled walking in to meet this mystery man she knew nothing about.

Jax turned around smiling like a little kid who had just won a teddy bear at a carnival.

"Hi, I'm Wendy Case. Tara's best friend. You bust be one hell of a boyfriend if Tara didn't tell me about you!" Wendy said patting Tara on the shoulder.

Tara smiled shyly as she looks over at Jax .

"Wendy! He isn't my boyfriend!" Tara snapped. Quickly looking back down at her feet.

Laughing Jax smiled "Nah, she wishes. I'm Jackson. But everybody just calls me Jax." He said sounding proud.

"Well Jax, seeing that Tara is still standing here and not hiding under her covers in her room, I'd say you have got somethin' to ya"

"WENDY!" Tara says through her teeth.

"Ha." Jax says looking over at Tara who was red as a tomato.

"I'd love to stay and chat but me and Tara have a movie to catch! You're more than welcome to tag along if you'd like." Wendy says smiling.

Tara looked at Wendy and Wendy could tell that she was ready to kick her ass. Jax notices and decides he better play it safe, he didn't want to make Tara uncomfortable.

"Nah, I'd better get going. It was nice to meet you though Wendy."

Walking to the door Jax turns and looks at Tara who was still recovering from the embarrassment her best friend had just caused.

"Hey Knowles!" He says getting Tara's attention "You should call me sometime, maybe we could go on our own hot date!" scribbling his number on a piece of paper Jax left laughing.

Turning just as red as she was before Tara walked to close the door. Picking up the piece of paper, she entered Jax's number in her phone.

She swore Jackson Teller would be the death of her.

(A/n; Wendy isn't a junkie, Tara's mom died of cancer, JT dies because of the family flaw and Thomas was never born, Gemma miscarried him. He club will be in the story eventually, I just thought I would let you guys get to know jax and tara before bringing in club/Gemma drama. Thank you guys for everything! Please review!)
