JAX

Court was so nerve racking, but totally fucking worth it. Having the proof that I was legit got me visits and Tara not able to go far. I remember the nasty look she gave and tried to figure out when she started to hate me. We had church and were waiting for Tig, doing this at lunch so that the party at Cara Cara would unwide all of us. I was so glad we got that up again, the girls needed the money and Lyla was in charge of it, being behind the camera and taking over for Luann.

Tig looked like he was hit with a mac when he entered the room we had set aside for church. We all looked at him and he merely shook his head and told us to carry on. Most of the meeting was about the businesses being well and the check arriving today in the mail for the shop. I for one was happy and itching to get my hands in car grease. Fixing up cars always unwound me where sex couldn't and since my head wouldn't let me indulge, I needed an outlet.

After church, I rode home so that I could change, not wanting to show up in my dress things. The gir...Nikki and Gemma followed me as I decided to go with them to look at cars. I was really trying and Tig pulled me aside to tell me about what Gemma told him. If this girl, Nikki, God I had to get used to that, was in fact a Trager, then she's family. Having to lose one daughter, gaining another would help settle Tig even if just a bit.

The girls wait in my kitchen, grabbing a soda, while I go change. I put on a pair of jeans, foregoing the boxers and pull on my blue plaid shirt. I pull my cut over it and slip my sneakers back on before going out to meet the ladies. Mom hands me the keys to the SUV and I drive them to the lot. We get out and I let the gir...Nikki, lead us around. She walks up to a green Dodge Challenger and I have to shake my head as I'm oddly reminded of the color of her eyes. I walk up as she's studying the stats and she turns to me.

"I don't understand any of this."

I smile and she steps aside so I can see.

"Well, they are usually great cars and fast. It'll give you 35 highway miles to the gallon, which is good. I'll have to get the hood lifted to look at everything else."

She nods and we notice a salesman walking up.

"What can I do for you?"

I smiled, "My friend wants to look at this car. Do you mind lifting the hood for me?"

I know that he knows who I am, so he just walks back to get the keys. I think I even went to school with him, can't really remember though. He comes back out with the keys and opens her up. I do my inspection and then come back up.

"Looks good, darlin'. Wanna test it?"

She just nods and so we get into the car, Gemma waiting and talking on the phone. I let her drive as she's the one buying it. I don't seem to hear anything off with it and check all the buttons to make sure everything is working. The heater and ac work just fine, so I know this car is a keeper.

I let her know and she just smiled, happy with the choice no doubt. We head back and the salesman takes her in. I stay out with ma and smoke while waiting for her to hand him cash. I know she's paying outright after listening to the story about her house. The old couple that lived in the house were nice when they visited. I'm glad she got her a good one as I remember doing some work for them during the summers to earn my bike. She comes out with the keys and a big smile on her face.

"Hey, Tig's meeting us at the hospital." Gemma stated, heading towards us.

I see some nerves sit in and get her to look at me. "It'll be fine, darlin'. Tig's a teddy bear and a great dad to his girls."

"He has other kids?"

I simply nod and take mom's keys from her so that the girls can go meet Tig. When I get home, I decide on a nap before the party. I shrug out of my cut and shirt, leaving my jeans on and lay on the couch. When I woke up, it was to the sound of my phone. I picked it up and answered. "Yeah."

"Hey, it's Nikki. Um, Gemma invited me to the thing tonight so I wasn't here alone in her house. The furniture place was closed when we were done. She already left and I don't know where I'm going."

I sit up and sigh, running a hand down my face. "Alright, be there in 5."

"Thank you Jax."

I flip the phone and reach for my shirt, pulling it back over my head. I knew what my mother was doing and I wasn't going to like it. I just got rid of one woman, I didn't need another breathing on my neck unless it was because I made her cum. I pull my cut on and head out to my bike. I strap my helmet and then ride to mom's where Nikki is waiting for me. She stands up and I take in a breath. She's in a jean skirt and a red halter that only goes to her naval, baring her matching ring and red stilettos. I blink as she walks up to me.

"Thanks, I can just follow. I'm sure you have something waiting on you."

I smirk at her from my bike. "Nothing I need to have waiting for me, that's for sure, darlin'. How was the hospital?"

She smiled and blushed a bit. "Alright, They said it would take a week."

I nodded, "Alright, you look nice by the way."

Her blushed deepened as she said thanks and then I watched her get into her car. I start thinking of nasty old granny's while waiting on her as the outfit didn't cover her legs, which were long as shit. The ink just made them better than they already were. Maybe Lyla was right, I couldn't deny she was hot. Didn't mean she was going to be anything, especially if she's Tig's daughter.

I couldn't just hit her and quit her. I sigh as she signals she's ready and lead her to the studio. When we get in, I'm amazed at how well the contractor did. It looked just as good, if not better than before. The women were walking around in their usual attire, and as usual...my head told me to fuck off and not worry about them. I wish I knew why as I really needed to get laid. Whatever my head was still hung up on needed to fuck it and let me get fucked. I found Lyla and walked over.

"Looks good."

She smiled and kiss my cheek. "That her?"

I turned to see the gir...Nikki. "Yep, she followed me and Ma invited her."

I saw the twinkle in Lyla's eye and I didn't like it. "She's not getting in front of the camera, babe."

Lyla looked back at me and smirked. "Why, don't anyone touching her?"

The idea of someone touching her was appalling and I hated the idea and fact that it bothered me.

"She may be Tig's daughter, that makes it a no go."

"And I was Opie's old lady. That doesn't mean shit, Jackson. You just don't want anyone touching her."

I shake my head and walk over to the bar while Lyla goes to meet the new girl. I take my seat next to Nero and just watch. I love that place is open and talk to Nero about all the possibilities we now had. He agreed with me, this was going to be good for both businesses.

I kept an eye on Nikki the whole night, apparently being drunk my head could mention the name. She was currently talking to Juice and I really didn't want her over there. I got up and threw my bottle in the can, walking over to them.

"Juice, go."

He nodded and just left the two of us. Nikki looked at me and even being trashed, I knew she was upset.

"Why did he have to go?"

"Because he's not allowed to touch you, darlin'."

I saw her anger in her eyes. "And just why can't he touch me?"

I smirk and lean into her. "Because that's my job, sweetheart."

SMACK

I stumbled back and caught her wrist as she went to slap me again.

"Jax Teller, you let go of me. I get to decide who touches me, not you." she comments and I noticed the anger in her voice and on her face.

I pull her to me and smirk. "You want me to touch you, Nikki."

I saw her eyes get big and then she pushed away from me saying something about leaving.

I watched as Lyla shook her head and my mom left with her so she wouldn't get lost. I stumbled into my house, thanks to Lyla at around 2am. She led me to my room and let me fall on the bed before turning around and heading back. I couldn't get the hurt look on Nikki's face out of my head and kind of drank too much because of it. I really don't know why I'm such an ass to her, trust me, I wish I did. I don't even bother with the clothes I'm wearing as I pass out.

And Jax...Again thanks to everyone for reviews and follows. till Next time-Brianna
