Chapter 4 Family dinner
No one's pov
The day for Tara Knowles is just like any other day she gets up and starts getting dressed. She hopes her new assistant Elizabeth Steele is already there and ready to go she doesn't have time to wait on her today. She sighs as she pulls in the front of St. Thomas pleased to see Elizabeth car is there.
"Thank god" she thought
She goes to the automatic sliding doors and walks through and almost dreads the thought of coming into work. She wanted to stay home and see what she can do to get back Jax.
"I miss him" She thought sadly to herself
She rounds the corner and see's Jax talking to Elizabeth.
Tara pov.
"Elizabeth don't you have paperwork to file" I said to her cutting her down with an icy look
Elizabeth grew red and her smile fell and ran off to the office.
"Good. Ill talk to her later about this. I hope she doesn't have a crush on him" I thought angrily
"What the hell was that Tara!" Said Jax shocked at her outburst like that
"Nothing Jax its just she just had paperwork to do. She shouldn't just stand around doing nothing all day" I told him completely shocked that he's defending her.
"I started the conversation with her. You should really get to know her. She isn't that bad." He told me with a smile on his face
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON! I LEAVE FOR LUNCH YESTERDAY AND NOW THIS! IS SHE TRYING TO STEAL HIM FROM!" I yelled in my head furious at her.
"Hmmm okay" I told him annoyed
"My mom is having a family dinner you should come since you took care of Abel." He asked inviting me
"Alright. Sure, I'll go" I told him my mood getting better and better.
He nodded and hugged me goodbye. I went to my office and saw Elizabeth working like crazy.
"Tramp" I thought about her
Elizabeth pov
"I'm in so much shit with Dr. Knowles. I just talking to him about his son. Who by the way is so handsome already. He even invited me to a family dinner tonight. I don't know if I'm going or not." I thought smiling to myself.
I heard heels clicking come to the door and I knew that it was Dr. Knowles. I instantly began updating patience files. She opened the door and gave the coldest glare I ever had in a while. She just kept glaring at me. I started to get uncomfortable.
"You are not allowed to speak to him." She told me hissing
"Why not? It's not like I'm hitting on him or anything. We were talking about his son who is by the way doing better in case you're wondering." I told her getting angry
"Don't lose your temper. Don't lose your temper." I kept telling myself.
The nerve of this woman. Stacking claim on a man like he's a fucken pair of louse Vuitton shoes.
"I'm your boss I don't have to tell you. So, if you would like to keep your job stay the hell away from him. He's mine since High School" she told me seething.
I just stared at her with so much hatred in my eyes. Its like she could catch on fire.
I looked away and went back to work as she went to her office.
"I hate that woman. She is a terrible boss and person" I thought to myself with so much hatred
I was definitely going to that family dinner. I like him a lot.
"I have a crush on him! Its just like High School" I laughed in my head with a silly grin on my face.
Rest of the day was so tense. You could cut it with a knife it was so thick. I can't wait for tonight. My mom always told me to never to anyone's house to dinner without bringing something with me. Dr. Knowles told me to go home as she was leaving early. I gladly took that offer and went to the grocery store.
"Are you Elizabeth Steele?" some woman asked with black hair and blond highlights. She had a scare between her two breasts
"Yes, ma'am I am. May I ask who you are" I questioned worried
"I'm Gemma Morrow. I'm Jax's mom" She told me with a little smile on her face
"It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Morrow" I told her politely
"Please call me Gemma" She told smiling
"Okay Gemma. Jax invited me to your family dinner if that's okay?" I asked her
"Oh yes. The more the merrier." She told me looking at porkchops and chicken "Oh the good doctor is coming. That weasel."
Ugh she was talking about Dr. Knowles. Great.
"Yay" I said dryly
"What you don't like her? I thought she's your boss?" She questioned me
"She may be my boss, but she has a stick up her ass so bad she can be a fucken popsicle" I huffed out
"You got one thing right. Well I'll you tonight baby" She told walking down the aisle towards the drinks.
I went towards the bakery picking out a pie. There's so many I'm in awe. I franticly look at all of them I can't choose which one I want. After a few minutes I picked up a Pecan pie and an Apple pie.
"I hope they like them" I thought as I put them in the cart and walked towards the cashier and checked out.
I drove to the house and got ready. I took a shower got out and here I was standing in front of my closet looking at my clothes. I don't want to wear anything fitted but I don't want to wear something that makes me look bigger than I was.
"Ugh I'm so fat" I thought almost crying "He'll never like me. Guys like him like skinny girls who wear a size small in shirts and single digit pants. Not someone who wears large in shirts and who wears size 13-15 pants size."
I finally picked out black knee length dress. The body is decorated with lace with a scalloped edge with a V-neckline with lace sheer sleeves. Not too much cleavage. Perfect. I came back to the closet and got out my black flats. I hate heels I'm such a klutz. I went to the bathroom to do my hair and makeup. I put my black hair in a nice loose curl and added a smoky look to make my blue green eyes pop. I checked myself in the mirror I hoped I looked okay and not like a whor. I checked the time and notice I was about late.
"Shit" I race back to my room grabbed my keys, purse, and the pies and I was out the door. I put the address in my phone and followed the directions the GPS told me. I pulled up to a beautiful house.
"Who are these peoples" I asked myself in awe
The house is spectacular. I parked at the curb and got everything out and went to knock on the door. I waited to someone to come to the door.
Jax's pov
I was already at moms. Everyone was here, the whole club. Tara came not too long ago. Her and I are sitting on the couch with boys while mom and the others are in the kitchen getting everything ready.
"I hope Elizabeth comes soon" I thought hoping to see her
I hear a knock on the door. I jumped up and ran for the door before ma can get to it. She gave me a confused look but didn't saying anything to me. I opened the door and saw Elizabeth standing there in a beautiful dress her green blue popping.
"Come on in darlin" I told her smiling wide
"Thank you for inviting me Jax. I brought Pecan and Apple pie. I hope you all like them" she told smiling brightly
"Great I love Apple pie. Come on ill let you meet everyone" I said grabbing her hand.
I noticed that she's shy I can't help but laugh.
"Hey guys this is Elizabeth she works with Tars as her assistant." I told them
Elizabeth pov
He introduced me to everyone. Clay, Bobby, Tig, Juice, Happy, Piney, Kip aka half sack, Opie and Chibs. I like Chibs he's from Ireland. Clay is the president he's Jax's step-dad, Opie is his childhood friend there like brothers. Kip is the prospect whatever that means, he was in Iraq. Happy didn't talk much but he seems okay. Piney is Opie's dad. Tig is weird. Creepy. Bobby is like Elvis to me. His family is huge.
"What are you doing here" Asked Tara seething
"Jax invited me and so did his mother" I told her going redder than a tomato
"I told you to stay away from him. Why can't you listen? This is my family." She whispered in my ear furiously
"Elizabeth, you came!" Gemma interrupted Tara
"Of course, I did Gemma. I brought you all pie" I told her all excited
"Good we needed dessert "She told as she stirred me into the kitchen. "Don't worry about that bitch, she just feels threatened by you. She needs to go back to Chicago."
"I agree but im thankful for the job she gave. Why would she be threanted by me? I mean come on she's beautiful, smart, and strong willed" I told her with a sad sigh
"Your beautiful too darling. She feels threated by because she thinks you might take Jax away from her." Gemma told while cutting up some green bell peppers.
"Oh" I couldn't think of anything else to say, "Can I help you with anything?" I asked eager to help
"You can take out the ham and the rolls please" she told me with a gentle smile
Tara came in the kitchen and asked if she could do anything to help.
"I think we got it doc but thanks" Gemma said curtly
I snickered and tried to hide my smile
"Elizabeth, I need to speak with you" Tara told me with a thunderous glare
"Yes ma'am" I told her with a small smile
Gemma gave a look as Tara left the kitchen
"Baby you are 22 years old don't be scared of that toothpick" she told with seriousness in her eyes "Show her that you aren't going to take shit from her. If she fires you ill give you a job. You got to stand up for yourself darling or nobody will" she told sweetly and left the kitchen with the food in her hands. I carried out some while the other girls were behind me doing the same thing.
"Elizabeth, you can sit next to me darlin" Jax told me pulling out my seat for me
"Thank you" I told him taking the seat
We all sat around the table passing the corn, mashed potatoes, ribs, porkchops and many more.
"Gemma this is great. You all done a fantastic job" I told me with much appreciation
"No problem darlin" She told from Clays lap
Tara never did talk to me nor did I talk to her. I don't want to face her and lose my job.
"Ill handle it tomorrow at work" I told myself
By the time dinner was over and dishes were washed and put away I was ready to go home and sleep for two days straight. Jax walked me to my car and thanked me for coming
"I'll see you around" he told as he hugged me and kissed my forehead
"You bet" I told blushing
I drove off and looked back as he
"Man, what a night. I'm glade I came." I told myself
Jax's pov.
I'm glad Elizabeth came tonight. Something is going on with Tara and her. I know Tara still likes me, but I don't see anything happening with her. I drove home after I thanked mom and kissed her goodnight and hugged Clay goodbye
"See you tomorrow brother" Clay told me as a I am walking out
I went stone building, climbed up the ladder and sat down and began to read:
Einstein said that any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex,
and more violent. But it takes a touch of genius and lots of courage to move
something in the opposite direction. I'm realizing that my touch of genius and
my courage are coming too little, too late. And I fear that for SAMCRO, there
may be no opposite direction.
I closed the folder with the journal in it. I sighed and looked toward the sky as I am sitting on top of the building. I am realizing that I got to make wiser decisions for the club and for my family. Change is coming.
A/N: I hope you guys like this chapter. Tara is causing trouble, Gemma is coming into the picture and so is the rest of the guys. What change is coming to the club? Find out next on A new life. Oh, I need a beta reader I tried contacting people, but they haven't got back to me so if you all know anyone that won't hesitate to tell what is wrong or anything please tell me. Anyway, please review and everything I would like to hear your guys thoughts. Until next time.
