**Tara POV**
It was finally Friday and I was on my way back to charming. Jax had insisted i go back home and go to school. I wanted to stay with him but he was right I couldn't loose sight of my priorities. Besides Thomas pissed me off. Everytime he saw me he would make smart remarks and flirt endlessly. He was such a pompous jerk who felt entitled to everything. It annoyed me and I guess Jax saw that which is why he told me to go home But I missed him like crazy and couldn't wait to get back to him. We spoke everyday he told me about his father and how there was still no change but they were hopeful that he was going to wake up. He told me about his brother and how much he was getting annoyed by the sight of him. They never really got along. His brother felt he was the best choice to be president and hated the fact that Jax was at the head of the table. Jax told me his father thought Thomas was to hot headed and immature to be at the head of the table. He had offered him the VP spot but he declined preferring to go nomad instead. They didn't speak much but his father being in this condition had them putting aside their differences. For now anyway.
I finally pulled into the TM lot and spotted my man sitting on the picnic table a cigarette in one hand and beer in the other. He was talking to the guys and laughing about something. Looking every bit of a god like creature. I barley parked the car before I rushing over to him. He caught my eye and smiled. a lustful gaze crossed his features as he watched me walk toward him. He flicked the cigarette and put his beer down to next him. I walked straight into his arms and planted a deep kiss on his lips. The separation was to much. A week was to long. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks. I was hooked on Jax Teller and I didn't ever want to be away from him for to long again. When we finally pulled away we were both breathless. I rested my forehead against his as I caught my breath.
"I missed you so much" I whispered.
"I missed you to baby" He wrapped his arms around my waist.
"How are things here? Is Gemma ok?"
"Gemmas doing ok trying to stay strong. She's at the hospital with my dad now. Things here are ok I guess alots happening and Thomas is getting on my nerves" He chuckled.
"Are you going to say hi to the rest of us now? We missed you to ya know" Tig said annoyed. Tig and I had a strange friendship. One that I adored, he was like a big creepy prevented brother that I never had.I smiled kissed Jax once more before making my way around the table planting a kiss to each of the guys cheeks.
"Hello boys" I finally said. I sat between Jaxs leg on the bench below him.
"How was school?" Jax asked me as he lit up cigarette.
"Boring but I turned in all my paper work and I have an appointment on Monday with charming elementary" I smiled and took a sip of his beer. "My professors know and have already sent me my final assignments. I'm done with 2 just gotta do the other 3"
"So let me get this straight" Tig began "You just got these assignments and your done with half of em" I nodded not understanding where he was going with this. He started laughing "Jax your girls a nerd"
I looked up at Jax and he smirked "A sexy nerd" he winked at me and I shook my head laughing. I sat and listened to the easy banter the guys had. Jax would occasionally kiss the top of my head causing me to look up at him so he could plant a kiss on my waiting lips.
"Well well well if isn't miss perfect" Thomas said coming out of the clubhouse.
"Don't start Thomas" Jax growled.
"Don't start what big bro? I was just coming to say hello"
"Hi" I said dryly.
"Aww don't be such a sour puss. I know you really want me deep down inside" he winked at me and I scoffed.
"I don't really know who you think you are but I don't want you and I never will." I could feel Jax almost vibrating behind me. The guys were silent, anger written on Thier features. Thomas came and stood in front of me.
"Oh come on. I'm sure a kiss will change your mind"
"Thomas!" Jax growled and stood up. "What the fuck is wrong with you"
I stood up and stood between Jax and his brother "Your an ass you know that"
"And you've got a nice one" he winked
I couldn't help it. I slapped him. So hard his head snapped around. He held his cheek and looked at me wide eyed. "I don't know what kind of girls your used to dealing with but I promise you I am not one of them. You speak to me with respect or you don't speak to me at all. I'm your brothers girl get that threw your head. I'm not a crow eater sweet butt or a hang around. I don't want you or anything to do with you. So Stay the hell away from me you pompous jackass" I spat a viciously as I could before i walked toward Jaxs bike. The guys began cheering behind me and I couldn't help but smile.
"One more smart comment and you'll be eating your teeth" Jax shoved him and joined me by his bike while a grumbling Thomas made his way back inside the clubhouse. "You ok?"
"Of course" I kissed him and got on his bike "Take me to get something to eat I'm starving"
He handed me his helmet "I want to show you something first" He got on his bike waited till I wrapped my arms around him before taking off. We drove around town for a few minutes before stopping in front of a 1 story cottage styled home. He turned off the engine and got off the bike.
"Jax?" To say I was confused would be understatement. I didn't know what the hell we were doing here. I got off the bike and took off the helmet letting it hang on the handle bars. "What are we doing here?"
"While you were gone I was looking for a place for us to move into when you move here"
"You bought this place?" I asked surprise evident in my voice.
He nodded slowly. I knew he was waiting for my reaction. I looked back at the house and pictured living there with him coming home to me. Me cooking in our kitchen having family get together in our home. Having kids running threw the door, our future kids and all the kids if SamCro. I smiled wide. It was perfect. It was our home. I turned to him and jumped in his arms. "I love it Jackson! It's perfect"
"Yeah?" He smiled wide.
"Yes baby I love it. I love you. It's a perfect home. Our home" I said in between kisses.
"I'm glad you like it. Wanna see the inside?"
"More than anything!" I ran to the door and waited for him to open it.
He let me step inside first. I stood in the entrance and admired my new home. The entire place was open. To the left was a decent sized kitchen connected to the was a dining room with French doors leading out into the massive back yard. I walked into the living room and could picture me and Jax snuggled on a couch together watching TV. "Jax this is" I couldn't find the words "Amazing, perfect, I don't know how to explain it." He wrapped his arms around me from behind and kissed my head.
"I'm glad you like it babe."
"I don't like it I love it! I can see me making you dinners in here and us snuggled on the couch together. Having the guys over and hanging out in the back yard and you on the grill"
"You can see all that huh?"
"Yup" I turned around in his arms "And maybe one day some kids will be running around"
Jaxs smiled was blinding "I would love nothing more than to see our family in this house"
I laid my head on his chest "Let's get settled here first and Let me start my new job at the school before we talk about kids"
"Anything you want babe" he held me close running his fingers threw my hair.
"When can we start moving?"
"When ever you want. We should have it ready before you move here though so you won't have to worry about it so much"
"Can we buy new furniture?"
"Yeah I'd prefer it actually."
I looked up at him "Thank you. For this house for everything. I love you so much"
"I love you to Tara. I want to give you everything you've ever wanted. I would give you the world if I could"
"I don't want the world. I want this" I hugged him tighter "I want you. I want Our life together nothing more"
He smiled "You have me. Now it's time to live our life"
"Let the good times roll" I laughed. "Can we get something to eat now I'm starving"
He nodded and after giving me a kiss we left. I took one more look at my new home and smiled. I couldn't wait to move in. I couldn't wait to move to charming and start this life. It was exciting, it was rewarding and with it came a huge family that I didn't ever want to give up. Sure there was a lot of danger that came with the lifestyle but I was pretty sure that I could handle it. I jumped on the back of Jaxs bike and he took off. We stopped at lumpys but going back to the club house. Since it was Friday the party was already starting up. I looked around the lot and noticed a lot more bikes than usual. "What's with all the bikes?" I asked when Jax came to stand next to me.
"I think another charter came out but I wasn't told we would be having visitors" Jax looked angry.
"Is that a bad thing?"
"The president of this particular charter, well we don't really get along." He took my hand and we made our way into he clubhouse. Jax tensed when he looked towards the pool table. His jaw clenched and he looked pissed as hell. I looked in the same direction and saw Thomas playing with a gray haired man. The man was smoking a cigar and had a beer in hand he looked completely comfortable and relaxed unlike Jax who looked like he was shooting daggers at the man skull.
"How about we grab a beer and you calm down" I grabbed his arm but he refused to budge. Opie walked over to us and whispered something in Jaxs ear. He nodded once and Opie disappeared back into the crowd. "Jax?" I wanted to know what the hell was going and why he didn't like this guy. It couldn't be good if it had him all tense and ready to pounce.
He left his heated gaze and focused on me "I don't want you to close to him. I don't trust him. I don't want him here but I can't throw him out. I'll explain later but try and stay away from him if I'm not around."
"Ok. I'm gonna grab us a beer." I grabbed his chin and kissed his lips. I reached around the bar grabbing 2 beers and popping them open.
"Thanks doll" I looked up and noticed a guy from the other charter drinking the beer I had just opened. I was assuming he was from another charter. I've never seen him before.
"That wasn't for you but your welcome"
"Who was it for than?" He asked me. He was good looking enough. Had blonde and hair blue eyes a nice little build but nothing compared to my Jax. He didn't even come close.
"It was for Jax" I said simply.
"The SamCro pres?"
"The one and only" I smiled at just the thought of him. I couldn't help it I was a woman in love.
"Well I can tell by the look on your face that you have a thing for him and I should you warn you that guy is a man whore. He might have sex with you though." He smirked "If your lucky I might have sex with you" I looked at him with disgust and went to reply but he was already out of his seat and on the floor.
"That's my sister in law jackass." Thomas shouted. I looked at him shocked as he kicked the guy and spit in his face. He looked up at me "Don't look so shocked. Just because we don't get along doesn't mean I'm going to let someone else disrespect you. I do it cause I can and cause it's fun to see Jax get all pissed off. This guy though" he pointed at the guy who was now holding his stomach "Was just being an ass." I saw Jax walking over from the corner of my eye.
"Maybe I missed judged you."
"Yeah I'm pretty sure you did"
I laughed "Your not a pompous Jackass. Your just a jackass" Thomas frowned looking almost hurt by my words.
"What happened?" Jax had just reached me and he was already assessing me for injury. "Are you ok?"
"Guy tried to hit on your girl here. I stopped it" Thomas said almost proudly.
"I'm fine baby. He didn't touch me" I assured Jax.
Jax looked back at Half sack "Get him out of my club house." He ordered. Half sack nodded lifted the guy up and out of the club house they both went. He looked over at Thomas "Thanks"
"No biggie" Thomas shrugged and disappeared into the crowd again.
"You sure your ok?"
"Yes Jax I'm fine. I promise baby" I handed him his beer "Now let's go have a good time"
"I don't know if that's possible right now." He ran a hand down his face.
"What's going on?"
"I'll tell you later just stay with me or one of the guys from our charter. Things my get a little ugly and I need to know your safe" He cupped my cheek and kissed me lightly.
"Aren't ya gonna introduce me Jackie" Someone from behind Jax asked sarcastically. Jax groaned silently and turned around "I mean it's rude not to introduce guests to the new queen of SamCro" I rolled my eyes why people wanted to call me that was beyond me. Some kind of MC rule I guess I didn't understand.
"This is my old lady Tara, Tara this is Clay Morrow. President of the Nevada Charter." Jax introduced.
"Nice to meet you" I held out my hand trying to be polite but there was something about this guy that had a part of me running for the hills. Maybe it was his icy gaze or how his features made him look like a man with many secrets. His calloused hand shook my and chill ran down my spine. This guy was bad news I could feel it in every inch of my body.
"It's nice to meet you to" he looked at Jax "Very nice"
Jaxs face hardened into a look I haven't seen before. He looked mean, evil even. His entire body language change into someone that was ready for anything. I took a look at Clay and he was smirking. It dawned on me that Clay was challenging him. In a small way but the challenge was there in his icy stare. I wrapped and arm around Jaxs waist he in turn wrapped his arm around my shoulders. I had a feeling things were going to get bad but I told Jax I would stand by him no matter what and that's exactly what I would do. I hardened my own face and looked back at Clay with the smirk he worn.
Challenge Accepted.
