Chapter 4 – Spinning Plates
Friday had snuck up sooner than Jax and Nomi realized, and it was time…time to meet the parents. All things considered Jax had somewhat put this to the back of his mind, he wasn't proud of that. Nomi was close to her family, in her own way and he wanted to make a good impression, he'd put on a good front but found himself nervous and unsure of how he would come across. He sat pacing the living room of Nomi's apartment while she finished getting herself together.
His meeting with Chibbs inspired some comfort and direction as he now had a plan of action…find Mark's son, kill him take Nomi on a vacation, it was a brilliant plan…but not enough to keep him as calm as he'd like for today.
He was brought out of his thoughts by his cell phone going off. Pulling it from the inside pocket of his jacket he saw Omar's name flashing on the screen.
"Hey brother, I know, I'm a terrible friend." Jax smirked, feeling a little relieved for the distraction to his thoughts.
"All good man, I know you like your space, just called to wish you luck and tell you not to overthink shit today bruh… you got a dime and she sure to come from good stock, as charming as she is, her family gone be cool…and if they not, fuck em' Nomi's strong enough to think for herself, ain't shit gonna change for ya'll, just take ya time."
Omar's words of wisdom actually did improve Jax's mood, he had kept up with the guys through text and calls, but hadn't seen them in a long minute, it was cool to know his boys were still riding though.
"Thanks man, I can't lie, I was shitting bricks! I needed that." Smiling Jax exchanged a few more pleasantries with Omar, agreed to meet up over the weekend and said goodbye just as Nomi emerged in all her glory.
"Okay! All done...You ready Blondie Bear?" She winked, grabbing her clutch off the bureau by the kitchen area and smoothing down her burgundy cocktail dress that fit like a glove.
"I swear this pet name shit gets worse every day, look I can't help my dashingly "blonde hollywood whiteboy" features my little chocolate chip pudding princess, so fuck off with the Blondie jokes." He faux pouted.
"Chocolate Chip Pudding What?! Okay you did not actually just call me that you weirdo!" Giggling they opened the door to head out.
The ride to the restaurant was light and full of banter and laughs, Jax suspected Nomi was trying to keep him relaxed, but didn't mind, he was grateful for it, the last couple of weeks and been stressful as all hell, he appreciated these moments, he wasn't sure how long it would last.
"Not too late to make a run for it" Nomi mumbled as they pulled up to the valet. Getting out he shook his head at the idea and smiled.
"Not a chance darlin' here we go…anything I should know beforehand though?"
"Well, Mom will most likely be pleasant and charming, dad will try and be the opposite, but it will probably be directed at me, Mom will make conversation about you and a few sexually charged inappropriate comments, and Dad will probably scold you for not going to College then say nothing for the rest of the night…that's probably it." She rambled off as they made their way through the chatter filled dimly lit restaurant.
"Well, I'll be as respectful as I can, but I can't kiss ass sweetheart, he takes it or leaves it…" He shrugged.
"I know sweets, you don't have to be anyone but yourself, he can shove his opinion up his ass and snap it off for all I care really" She deadpanned; before smiling and tip toeing to give him a light kiss, taking his hand and continuing, spotting her parents, her mother's glowing smile hit her like a beam of sunshine.
He'd heard the phraise a couple times, "Black don't crack" nut damn! and he couldn't lie, the woman was stunning, if that was Nomi in 30 years he'd be a happy fucking man…
He would? 30 years? He was lucky if they made it through the dinner…make or break time Teller here we go…
Pushing the negative thought to the back of his mind, as well as the strange ideal of going the distance with Nomi, he watched the short, curvy almond eyed woman rise from the table, bounce a little then grab her daughter excitedly, he noticed Nomi only wrapped one arm around her mother, and showered her cheek with kisses, refusing to let go of Jax's hand, her first sign of solidarity, her mother planted a kiss on her cheek before holding Nomi at arm's length for inspection.
"Oh! My babygirl! Look at you! You look so well, you're practically glowing, and I see that them hips looking rounder! You got a little weight back to you baby, but in all he right places…You was too small before anyway.. you must be eating good! Or doing something else good" She winked at her daughter, and Jax had the decency to blush slightly, he could tell he was gonna like "Mom" she was a handful just like his Nomi.
"For the love of God Mom" Nomi smirked rolling her eyes. "I see you didn't disagree though, good for you sweetie. Speaking of which, this must be him! Hi hunny!" Turning to greet him Jax opened his arms to receive the hug, pleasantly thrown at him.
"Jackson, this is my Momma, Evelyn Daniels…well Evie, for short, Momma, this is my boyfriend Jackson, Jackson James." Nomi did the introductions, while Jackson still wrapped in Nomi's mothers arms smiled, and told her it was nice to finally meet her, he took note quietly that, while Evie had been a ball of hospitality, her father remained seated, staring at him, while holding a glass of Scotch…Alright motherfucker, that's how its gonna be? Okay.
Pulling away gently, he held Evie's hand walking her to the table before pulling her seat out for her to sit. "I gotta say…Evie said she got her beauty from her mother, and my goodness was she right, be sure to keep in touch just in case this thing with me and this godsend don't work out…I wanna have a back-up plan Evie" He threw his award winning knock out "Wink…Dimple…Smirk" combination at Evie as she chuckled, and watched Nomi's dad, who still until then had not acknowledged him, take a deep swig of his Scotch and glare at him.
Meeting the man's glare head on for a few seconds, he heard Nomi speak.
"And this is Dr Clarence Daniels…or Dad" Nomi smiled, although he could tell it was forced, they hadn't been there 5 minutes, and she was already pissed at him, he didn't blame her.
"Mr Daniels, nice to finally meet you…I've heard so much about you" he extended his hand across the table, Nomi's dad let go of the glass he was holding and accepted his hand " Dr Daniels" He corrected Jax, " Nice to meet you Jackson was it?" He squinted feigning a lapse in memory to the introduction that occurred less than 5 minutes ago.
"Dad" Nomi grumbled, looking at him dead on as he retracted his hand and sat back in the chair.
"Lets not shall we? You can reserve your rudeness and distasteful comments for me, I know that's how you prefer it anyway" she finished, raising her hand slightly to signal a waiter, she needed a fucking drink.
"Ah its alright babe…relax, he smiled, charm oozing form every word, as he gently and quickly rubbed her lower back " Were good." Turning back to face DR Daniels "Yes it's Jackson, did we keep you guys waiting long" He asked before removing his jacket and setting it on the back of his chair as a waiter arrived.
"Not that long we got here a little before you" Evie interjected before Clarence could.
"Can I take your coats and orders?" asked a young waitress as she appeared, Nomi ordered a large wine, which her father critiqued and reordered a more expensive Bordeux, which Nomi then cancelled and reordered her previous Malbec choice, Jackson ordered a Whiskey on the rocks, and Evie had a Gin and Tonic.
As the waitress disappeared the group fell into light conversation, slightly spearheaded by Evie's mother, and ate happily at the meals, although he almost wondered why Nomi's dad was even there what was the point, if he was just gonna spectate?
"So Evie darling, you think this will stick? I mean it would be good to see you actually settle in with something in your life, instead of bouncing around like some wayward hippie" He grumbled, before taking another swig.
Jax Teller, "biker outlaw, murderous, short tempered and general badass motherfucker" threatened to rise from the dead and snatch the fucker out his seat, but instead, Jackson "charming, humble mechanic, and boyfriend from heaven" sent him an ungodly look of disdain, and then looked at Evie briefly who did that thing with her neck, that Nomi did when she was annoyed and burned holes into the side of Clarence's head, as she glared at him for his disrespectful comment towards her daughter, the look read come again asshole, but instead she looked, rolled her eyes, and shook her head.
He watched Nomi, calmly sip her wine before responding, looking dead at her father.. Ah Shit…
"Yes Dad, I'm sure…although being a lowly wayward hippie can be fun, I'm sure I can do both, I'm a good multitasker" She replied sickly sweet.
"You know, Dante still asks about you, would it kill you to call?" Evie gasped in shock, while Nomi's eyes burned with fury.
"Really! Clarence! I swear all the money in the world couldn't buy you a clue or an ounce of class, look at what she has sitting next to her, you think she wants that borderline chubby, boring square Dante! You are so disrespectful" She huffed, before sipping her drink.
"Well I didn't mean anything by it…I was just asking…excuse me…so kid, what do you do? What college did you go to? "Clarence asked, looking at Jax disinterestedly.
"Well Mr Daniels, I didn't attend college, I worked in my families auto business, until my mother died, I'd lost my brother and father previously, after her, I didn't see much to stay in for and I left, I moved here a year ago and work as a mechanic Uptown, I'm a man of simple tales" he countered, with a lopsided grin.
"Ah well how do you know what kind of man you'll be? Kids nowadays…always thinking they know best" Clarence smirked before taking a bite of his steak.
"Well I've had 38 years to figure it out Sir, I think I've got a pretty good idea." Although not entirely true about knowing who he was He barely had a fucking clue anymore… Jax dropped the bomb and watched Clarence pale.
Yup…I'm a grown as man, not some kid you can intimidate douchebag …and I also happen to be fucking the shit out your 25 year old daughter regularly!
Jax smiled, calmly, blue eyes twinkling, as Clarence attempted to stare him down.
"Ah see! I think that's smart, Nomi needs someone with some life experience, she's so well travelled and done so much, its good you got some years on her, keep my little spit fire in check. Plus not that much age difference to when I met Dr GrumbleGrot over there" Evie winked over her drink.
"Although, I am sorry about your family sugar, so its just you, after you lost your Mom, that must have been awful." Evie expressed, her eyes, holding genuine empathy.
"Wait…you didn't go to college?" Clarence interrupted, not even acknowledging Evie or the sensitive topic at discussion.
"Dad!"
"What?!"
"Clarence you're an abomination"
"Well I didn't mean anything by it…was just asking" He shrugged taking another sip.
Jax, smirked and took Nomi's hand on the table, she was quieter than usual, her dad was getting to her.
"Yeah it was tough, we were close, like I said i'd lost my dad some years before, but after my Mom, there wasn't much keeping me there, so I opted for a change…good thing too, as i met this blessing, which I'm thankful for every day." Leaning in he planted a soft kiss to her temple as her mother watched them, a hand on her chest and soft smile on her face, her dad, looking a little defeated, rolled his eyes and signalled for another drink, it occurred to Jax that Nomi's Dad might be a functioning alcoholic.
"Well, I'm happy you found each other, you look wonderful together; bet you'd make lovely babies!" Evie giggled as she clapped excitedly.
Clarence made a low sound of apparent annoyance, while Nomi laughed and rested her head on Jax's shoulder.
The rest of the night went pretty alright, Nomi flat out ignored her father, Evie was an angel and Clarence drank and kept himself quiet. Jax held his own at his snide comments and Clarence pretty much retreated. Score.
All in all, the night went pretty much as Nomi predicted and before he knew it was over, he survived, he made it.
"Oh darling it was lovely to meet you, really it was, you two are a credit to one another" Evie pulled him into a warm, tight hug and gently stoked the hair at the nape of his neck, it wasn't an inappropriate gesture, it felt, nice, maternal, familiar, and safe…it reminded him of his mother.
"Thank you Evie, I hope this isn't the last I see of you" He chuckled, "Oh of course not! We gone see each other again real soon baby, don't you worry!" Leaning in again she spoke lowly, " And I'ma pray that human manifestation of struggle and misery can't make it, ugh! thank god for divorce, because I tell you, orange don't suit me." She whispered. Jax was about to say well it suits me before he caught himself.
"Treat each other kindly, be patient, be sweet and be honest with one another…trust is everything believe me." She spoke sternly after releasing Nomi from her hug, Jax and Nomi replied Yes Ma'am in unison before laughing at each other.
Clarence said goodbye, with no handshake to Jax, simply a head nod, which he returned, and an awkward hug to Nomi, before walking to two separate taxi's, waving goodbye, her parents went off in their separate directions.
"Your Moms a sweetheart" Jax smiled, wrapping his arms around Nomi's shoulders as they waited for the car.
"Yup, I'm glad she met you, I wanted you two to get along" she sighed.
"Your dad is-"
"My biggest burden, let's not go there" Nomi laughed sadly before looking to the floor.
Jax decided not to press the issue, and opened her door when the car pulled up.
The drive was pleasant enough but he could tell Nomi was still bothered, as soon as they entered her apartment he went into damage control.
Following her to their bedroom, he watched her attempt to unzip her burgundy dress, feeling a familiar tingle in the pit of his stomach that went straight to his dick.
"I got it" coming behind her he took the zipper in his fingers. "You know, I never got to tell you how beautiful you looked tonight" he whispered lowly in her ear, his deep voice vibrating through her back as he pulled it down slowly.
"You didn't did you?" She whispered, feeling her smile against his cheek.
Reaching his arms around her, he slowly rubbed at her stomach. Feeling a slightly tremble, goosebumps arising under his fingertips.
"Get on that bed and lemme look at you." He growled at her, giving her a chaste spank to her plump rear.
She shimmied out her dress, ad slowly crawled onto the bed, giving him a heart stopping view of her ass, gold French knickers winking at him with every delicate move of her hips, lowering her upper body to the bed, her ass high in the air, she gently swayed her hips looking back at him at the foot of the bed.
"How's it looking?" she smiled, bedroom eyes beckoning him.
"Good enough to eat" he quipped, unbotoning his shirt and grabbing at the bulge in his dark jeans slowly, he squeezed at himself through the fabric, his bottom lip caught in his teeth, pupils dilated, he undid his belt and zipper, sliding his pants down, he saw Nomi's lips part, and her breathing quicken, at the sight of him.
He crawled behind her in all his glory, grinding against her pantie clad pussy from behind, revelling in the feel of the material moistening, grabbing at her full butt cheeks he slid her panties to the side, before reaching over to her, slipping his thumb in her mouth, she happily sucked on it as he massaged one of her ass cheeks in his hand.
Reluctantly, he took his thumb back, she looked slightly disappointed until he forcefully inserted it inside her, her walls clenched at it as her eyes rolled slightly, panting she turned and buried her face into the bedsheets as he simulated her with the digit.
"Nuh uh, I wanna see you….look at me." He rasped, plunging his thumb deeper, as deep as he could, she immediately threw her head back and turned to look at him, her face a mixture of bewilderment, passion and innocence.
Jax pressed his thumb down and found her G spot, he rubbed at it with purpose, and watched her unravel beneath him, her eyes fluttering, body squirming as she writhed in her all fours position on the bed, her hands gripping at the sheets.
Jax watched her, and stroked at himself, she was in the zone.
He slowly pulled his thumb away, and replaced it with one… two, then three fingers and watched her lose her shit in the most erotic way, flipping her roughly on her back he drilled at her with his hand, his palm frantically rubbing against her clit wih every movement as his fingers buried themselves in her tight passage.
Nomi's moans rumbled from her gut, out her mouth and bounced off the walls as her orgasm tore through her, wetness gathering against Jax's palm, lowering his face to hers, he kissed her as the aftershocks vibrated through her.
Meeting his eyes, a flash of mischief flashed across Nomi's face earning a wink from him, before she flipped him, wrapping her leg around his, she swiftly rolled them, so he was on his back, pinning his wrists to either side of his head, she ground her pussy against his rock hard member , flipping her hair to the side, letting it fall over her shoulder, she placed hot, languid, lazy kisses to the side of his neck, emitting a low rumble from his chest, his Adam's apple bobbing quickly in the column of his throat out the corner of her eye, she reached up to run her finger through his hair, before lightly nipping his earlobe, releasing his wrists, his hands went for her before she pinned them back to the bed, giving him a stern look, he knew better than to move again.
Sliding down his sweat sheened torso, he watched her with hooded eyes in anticipation, as she took his thick cock in her hands, rubbing it firmly against her closed lips, she stroked and took him into her mouth, his head immediately fell back to the mattress, as his hands went to his own hair, he tugged at it briefly before placing his hands behind his head, his eyes closed, he would occasionally lift his head and watch her, before collapsing back to the bed again while she sucked and stroked at him, her small hand barely fitting round his girth, her full lips, and cupid's bow looking more prominent as she worked on him.
With a purposed squeeze, she rose to top him, sliding him between her wet folds before settling his whole length within her.
Grabbing at her hips, he guided her rhythm, setting a savage pace, that had him pleasantly hitting her cervix with every down thrust, and putting butterflies in her stomach with every up thrust, a sharps smack to her ass kept her in time whenever she cowered at the size and fullness of him.
"Don't stop…" Jax's voice felt strained as he gripped at her thighs and hips, he wondered if she'd have bruises in the morning, he kinda liked the idea actually, the vision of plush, reddish, purple fingerprints, his mark against her golden skin, sent him into a frenzy, as he pulled her down to his chest, one hand held her by the back of her neck the other encircled her back as he fucked at her furiously from underneath.
"Holy shit…fucking holy shit…" he heard her babble desperately in his ear, her walls fluttering against his shaft…She was close…
He fucked her with blind determination, he felt their sweat entwine and become one, skin meeting skin creating the most animalistic tune, the headboard knocking rhythmically, announcing their current activities to the neighbours.
Nomi was an inferno as she attempted to form a sentence, her walls clamping on him.
"Oh …Ggguh..god..ugh" she growled, through shut eyes and gritted teeth, taking a fistfuls oh his and another of bedsheet.
"God…dammit!" Jax grunted, as he came without warning at the tightness of her pussy squeezing him in succession rapidly, spilling into her for what felt like an eternity as Nomi shook and shivered in his arms, breathless kisses to his scruff, cheeks, sweaty forehead and the tip of his nose, resting her head on his damp chest she finally managed to summon enough air to get a word out.
"Fuck."
"Yeah"
"Shit"
"Oh I agree darling"
Laughing, they untangled themselves from one another. Nomi laid on the bed like a sunburnt toad as Jax slowly rose to walk to the bathroom, his back flexing and glistening with sweat as he went to get a wet towel, coming back into view he wiped at the back of his neck and chest as he watched her, a small look of male pride adorning his dimpled smug grin, he gently tossed a damp cloth at her, landing on her bare stomach.
"What? You're not gonna do it?!" She laughed, taking the washcloth in her hand.
"I think we can agree, I've done enough, you're a big girl, get on with it woman" He smirked, as she wiped at herself, he watched for a moment before kissing her forehead and climbing in his side of the bed.
Nomi tossed the cloth and climbed into her side next to him, laying on her back, one of her hands, stroking at his hair, as he laid on his back, one of his hands behind his head, the other gently stroking her thigh, as her leg laid over his.
"Thank you for tonight" She whispered lowly, as she studied his perfect side profile in the dim light.
"Well it's all part of the service babe, you know its impolite not to let you finish, no need to thank me, I got you, anytime you need it, just let daddy know, I'll take care of you" He smirked, eyes still closed.
"No frat boy, I mean earlier, with my parents…I mean obviously just now wasn't bad either…but, thank you for being there, and putting up with my dad's bullshit."
"No problem doll…really…plus, they weren't so bad, I think your old man was gonna hate me no matter what….I wanted to get along with your mom though so I'm glad it went well…on her end anyway." Jax turned to place her hair behind her ear as he spoke, laying on his side to look at her, she mirrored him and looked in his eyes.
"I love you, you know" She smiled, eyes sparkling.
"I know…You know I love you too?" He questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Well I definitely do now…I gotta feeling about you Mr James, I think it might just stick."
"Well as long as we keep fucking like that, I ain't going nowhere you little hippie." He mumbled tiredness evident in his voice.
"Gee you're so romantic Prince Charming"
"Well I'm all about the fairy-tale darling" he yawned.
With a kiss to the tip of his nose, Nomi snuggled closer to him, their foreheads pressed together, as they faced each other on their sides, sleep taking a hold, they went willingly.
Meanwhile…elsewhere…
"Well I think this weekend is as good as any, I don't see why not…Ugh, you know, the excuses are like a verbal yeast infection in my eye…stop telling me about what you think I should do, and listen to what I'm telling you to do…get it done and don't fuck it up…no…I don't care…I want it done , so get it fucking done!
