Secret

Chpt 3

Separation

It was the third Sunday that I was spending in my new apartment alone. It was a really great place and very roomy. Gemma may be a bitch but she is one with good taste. It was a two bedroom apartment, up to date appliances, hard wood floors through out the place. The apartment was nicer than my dad's house was ever, specially since my mom had died. My favorite place in the whole house was the working fireplace. I loved to curl up in my double wide lounge chair and work on my studies or just to read a good book. Sunday's were my day off, no school or work. I had taken a part time job at the college. I worked in the office. I had to eat some how. Plus, it was one job that really worked with my busy class schedule I had. My first class started at 6am and my last class of the day was around 5pm, Then I would work in the office till 9pm Monday thru Saturday.

I was curled up in my chair finishing up my assignment in human biology when the phone rang. I looked down and saw it was Jax. Must be 4pm. Jax always called at that time every Sunday.

"Hello," I answered carefully. I was always careful just in case Gemma had gotten hold of his phone. Neither Jax or I wanted her to know we were still together. She would just tear a wedge between us and we did not want that.

"Hey, Babe!" Jax answered back. His voice sounded a little mischievous today.

"What are you up to Jackson?" I questioned him but could not help but smile, just hearing his voice made me smile ear to ear.

"I don't know what you are talking about!" He answered sounding like he was up to more than I thought. "So, you going to tell me what you are wearing?" Now I knew he was up to something. I was about to answer him when I looked down and saw what I was wearing. I had on a pair of old ragged up sweat pants, his SOA hoody, and a tank top underneath. I looked horrible, my hair was not even really brushed just thrown up into a messy bun. I was not planning on going anywhere today and my only plan was to work on my studies, so I decided to give him a little white lie. What can hurt, he was 8 hours away.

"Well, Mr. Teller, I am wearing my little black tee and my little oh so little black lac..." I was stopped from finishing my sentence because someone was knocking at the door. "Jax hold on, someone is at my door."

The pounding was getting harder and harder. I thought who ever it was, was going to break my door down! I started to open the door...

"Why you teasing a man like that?" Came from a voice I was so excited to hear from.

"Jackson!" I screamed so excitedly that my phone came flying out of my hands and hit him straight in the forehead. "Oh my God, Jax I am soo sorry! Are you OK?" I asked him trying to look at head. Just to see that I left a goose egg right in the middle of his forehead. I was so embarrassed, I wanted to cry.

"Don't worry about it!" He tried to comfort me. Typical Jax, he is hurt and is trying to make me feel better. I was still so mortified that I started to walk away hiding my face. I did not get very far when he grabbed me up from behind and wrapped his arms around me. "And, where do you think your going tease?"

"What do you mean tease?" I turned around with a grin on my face and responded!

"Well, I got told someone was in a small little black tee and something else oh so little!" Jax had me pegged up against the wall at this point, with a devilish grin across his face. I was so turned on, I wanted him to take me right there. I reached up and put my hands around his neck and his hands were wrapping around my head and I could feel his fingers getting tangled into my hair. I leaned up and kissed him, I started to pull away when he pulled my head back and started to kiss my harder. I was trapped between a wall and his wonderfully delectable lips. I was glad there was a wall right there because I was melting and not much was there to stop me.

Jax started to moving his hands down my side and lifted me up and I responded with wrapping my legs securely around him. He was walking us over to the couch when his phone rang. I was so pissed when he pulled it out of his pocket and said he had to take it, I grabbed the phone threw it!

"NO calls!" I demanded. I was so frustrated he would think about even doing that right now. I did not even care at the moment. I wanted him to myself no distractions. He was looking at me in shock but I didn't care, I grabbed his head and planted a kiss on him that let him knew I meant business, he followed suit after that. He took me to the couch and made love to me for hours. I think the only reason we stopped was dehydration was kicking in.

I got up and headed to the kitchen where I tripped over that damn phone. I picked up and saw he had 34 missed calls. I was not surprised at all, I would be surprised if 30 of them where not from Gemma herself. I looked over and tossed the phone to Jax.

"You better call before she has the entire club out for you. Speaking of what are you doing here a week early?" I finally realizing he was early.

"Well, there was some complications with a order and Opie and I had to come up early and take care of it. We have to head back tonight but I had to see you." He said with his world class smile. "Plus I wanted to tell you in person that I won't be back this was for at least 3 months. We are making a trip to Ireland. They are having some issues that we need to take care of." I was so frustrated listening to what was coming out of his mouth. I have been so lonely and here he is telling me I am going to be lonely even longer this time around.

"Get Out!" I screamed. "No, don't I am just so upset that it will be so long till I get to see you and you are not going to even be in the same damn country" I said sounding defeated. "You better call or text me every night to let me know you are safe."

" You know I will," he said grabbing me and holding me. "Plus when I get back I will make it up to you I promise." We used up the last few hours together in the bedroom mostly just laying there holding onto each other and for the first time in weeks I feel into a good sleep. I woke up to my alarm the next day, with a note next to the bed.

'Tara,

You were sleeping so good I could not bring myself to wake you.

I will call you when we land. Please don't be mad and I Promise

I will be with you as soon as I can.

I love you always,

Jax
