NIKKI
I woke up to the sun in my face and sighed. It had been two days since I had kissed Jax in my pool. Two days since I had last seen him. He left shortly after that kiss with an apology. I guess he thought that I didn't want him to. I didn't think I did, but as soon as his lips touched mine...well. I touched my fingers to my lips, where I remembered everything I felt that night. I smiled as I remembered his face as he pulled back and threw my comforter off me.
I sat up and stretched my arms over my head. I stood up and walked over to my closet to pull out my converse and a red tank top. I sit them both on my bed and walked to my dresser to pull out a pair of black cotton shorts and my red bra/thong set for the day. I was helping Gemma with some of the clean up at the clubhouse to kill time while the guys did some rebuilding and the contractor did whatever it was he was doing. I slipped my thong up and pulled the cotton shorts over them.
I snapped my bra into place and grabbed a pair of white ankle socks. I pulled my shirt over my head as I sat on the bed and then slipped the socks over my feet. I brought my knees up, one at a time, and slipped my converse into place. After I was finished, I walked to my bathroom to brush my hair and teeth. I ran the brush through my hair and wrapped in a messy bun to keep it off my face and neck while working. I sighed and walked down with my phone, laying it on the counter by my bag in the kitchen.
I pulled out a pop tart since I was meeting Gemma in 30 and put them the toaster to heat up. While waiting on them, I pulled down a cup and poured me some grape juice. I smiled as I heard the pop of the toaster and pulled the pastries out, slipping them on a plastic plate to eat on the way. As I locked the door, I heard a motorcycle slow down and a whistle from behind me. I turned and smiled, seeing my neighbor in front of my house.
"Hey you." I called out to him on my way to my car.
"Hey, darlin'. Headin' to the shop?"
I nodded, "Yeah, Gemma requested I get there by 8:30, so..." I trail off and lift my food and drink up for him to see.
He smiles. "Alrgiht, see you there."
I smiled back and watch as he takes off again. I shake my head and sit my things into the passenger seat before heading over to the other side of the car. I get in and strap my seatbelt while using my other hand to start her up. I sat and wait a few moments for the car to warm up before turning and backing out of my drive. I roll my window down and turn the radio up as a song I like comes through the speaker.
As I reach the lot, I notice that most of the guys are here, must be tired of hanging at the diner. I park next to Gemma and smile as she waves. I grab my plate and my cup as I get out and push the lock button, keeping my bag in the floor of the passenger side. I sat at the table that they have already fixed and start in on my pastry.
"Morning."
I smile up at Tig as he sits across me. "Morning, Tig."
He takes out a cigarette and lights it up while letting me finish my breakfast. I get up to put my plate in the trash pile when he grabs my wrist.
"Yeah?"
Tig smiles and pulls me back to the table. "What did you do to Jax?"
I furrow my brow and look over at the blonde in question who looks more relaxed then I had ever seen him. I smile a bit and turn back to Tig.
"Nothing. He really liked the room, but I hadn't seen him since Saturday."
We stare at each other for a moment and then releases my wrist. I get up and throw my things where they are needed and then head to find Gemma. I shake my head and chuckle as I see her bossing some of the prospects and a couple girls I had seen at the studio.
"What do you want me to do?"
Gemma turned and the relief was immediate. "Oh, thank god you're here, Nikki. These cunts are too busy trying to get into the pants of a patch to be much help. Can you see what you can do with the bar?" I just nod and smile, heading in the direction. I notice a prospect already throwing out some bottles as I walk over. I pick up a rag and find a little step-ladder.
I set it up and then climb the two steps so I can reach the top shelf. Putting some of the cleaning liquid on the rag, I step up and start cleaning the top of it so we can hopefully get most of the soot off before the guys need to see if it needs replacing. I strain my neck, making sure to get all the way back and lose my footing, landing in a pair of arms. I look up to see Jax with a smile on his face. "Y'know if you wanted to be wrapped in my arms, ya should have just asked."
I smiled back and swat his chest. "Put me down."
He keeps the smile and helps me stand. "Lunchtime. Ma wanted to know if you wanted a burger or chicken. The prospects are running to the restaurant."
I nod and sit down the now black rag. "A cheeseburger sounds good."
He nods and I follow him to the table for a break. I sigh as my butt hits the seat as I didn't know how long I was actually standing before Jax had been behind me. Good thing was, the top two shelves weren't black anymore and may not have to be replaced.
"How's cleaning?"
I look at the blonde across from me and smile. "It's alright. Someone has to do it, y'know?"
He nodded, "We could've gotten the prospects to get the high places, though."
I smile, "Oh you like looking at my ass, all you boys, just admit it already."
They all chuckle and Jax just smiles as he smokes his cigarette.
"Nikki, it is weird that you're not in your usual heels though." I smile and lay my head on Happy, noticing Jax stiff a bit. "I can't clean in heels, Happy."
I watch Jax get up and head over to one of the girls that were sitting on the pool table and sit up, looking at Chibs.
"He's upset." Chibs leaned in and whispered. "He's still a mixed up, lassie. He told me 'bout wha happen'd."
I nod and get up to go talk to him. I see him flirting with one of the girls and almost stop. I don't though, as I had talked to Matt, who told me I had to challenge this man. That he's just as hardheaded as my best friend is. I get between him and the girl he's currently talking to and look at him.
I see the question in his eyes as he tries to figure out what I'm doing. I turn and look at the girl in question. She was half dresses and just screamed skank. Lyla had explained that they had the escorts and the porn stars, but she also explained that some of them were Croweaters. Croweaters were the place the guys got their dick wet and wouldn't be good for anything else.
"Listen here, he's off limits."
The girls looks at me and then to Jax.
I snap my fingers to get her to look back at me. "You're nothing to these men, you do get that. You don't get to spend time with his boys on the weekends. You don't get to see him when he's not here. I do. I played with Abel and Thomas most of the weekend. Hell, I even made a room for them at my house. He's off limits."
I knew everyone was watching me, but I knew I had to get it through their heads. Jax was a complicated man, but even I knew he didn't do random pussy anymore. I stood my ground as the girl got into my face and actually smiled at me.
"He won't stay with you. Sure, you're daddy's a biker but you aren't any better than me. A woman with daddy issues."
I laughed out loud and got right in her face. "If I had these daddy issues, I'd want to fuck Chibs or Happy, not some guy only two years older than me, sweetheart."
And to prove my point and turned my body and kiss the hell out of Jax Teller. I felt him respond and begin to kiss me back as his arms wrapped around my waist to pull me closer. We didn't let up till air was needed and the whistles grew louder. He put his forehead to mine and I smiled.
"Hey." I heard him whisper as my eyes fluttered opened.
"Hi."
He smiled at me and gave me a small kiss while everyone started clapping. I blushed and turned my head into his chest as he hugged me closer to him still.
"Hey, stop that and eat."
We heard Gemma state as the prospect pulled back in with the food. Jax took my hand and led me over to the table, making sure to pull me next to him at the table. I looked up and Gemma had an eye brow raise, causing me to smile and turn my head back into her son's body. He just chuckled and wrapped his arms around my shoulder to pull me into his side.
"Here."
I look up to see Tig with my bag. "Thanks."
He smiles, letting me know he's ok with what happened and I return it, digging into my bag. We all ate in silence since we were all hungry as hell. I sat and sighed as the guys all got up to finish on wall they were putting up where they use to have church. Jax has taken his shirt off on the way and laid his cut on what was left of the bar. I watched as he pulled his hair into a band, his muscles flexing under the ripper tattoo.
"You're drooling."
I turn and blush, seeing Gemma smiling at me. "Shut up."
Gemma smiled and pulled me up. "He was all smiles yesterday, hun. Doing whatever it was you did as I pulled up, well..."
"Well, what?"
"Some will leave him alone, others will just try harder."
I look back over to the guys and watch, thinking on what she said.
I turn back and smile. "I've hit a bitch before, I'm not scared to do it again."
Gemma smiled and put her sunglasses on. "Good. Now I need to go get some more drinks, care to come?"
I nod, "Yea, just let me tell my dad and your son."
Gemma nods and goes over to her SUV. I walk over and notice girls looking at the guys while they are working.
"Hey, Gemma and I are going to get water."
They nod and Jax pulls me to him, kissing me quickly. "Alright. Can we talk later?"
I just smile and nod turning to head back out with Gemma. I avoid Gemma like the plague on the way as I know she's dying to know what actually happened while she and the prospect went for food. I watch out the window as she pulled into a spot at the little store down the street. We get out and I follow her as she grabs a cart and heads to the water.
We pick up two 24 packs of Ozarka and I grab some M&Ms for me. While waiting to check out, I notice a guy looking at us through the window and stare back at him. Something about this man doesn't sit well with me and Gemma notices when she turns to grab her bag.
"You, alright?"
I just look at her and give her a look that says "not now." and she nods, turning to pay the girl. We go out and sit the water in the back of the SUV before getting into the front seats.
"Out with it." She states as we pull off the lot.
I turn around to see the guy getting into his car and turn back to Gemma.
"Did you see the guy looking at us while we checked out? (she nodded) Something about him isn't right with me." She glanced at me and then noticed he was behind us. "He's following us. Tell Jax and the guys when we get back, Nikki."
I nodded and the rest of the ride was silent all the way to the shop.
As promised, Nikki is here. Jax up next as always. Thanks for everyone for their patience and I hope you continue to like the story. Please continue to leave me little comments. :)B
