Chapter 21
Jax and Casey watched as Hale pulled out the lot.
"So I assume it was you who took care of him?"
"Yea, I wasn't expecting Hale to find him so soon, he's getting better at knowing our moves"
"I don't want to know Jax. This is your side of life, I'm happy living in ignorance"
"Even if you were my old lady?"
"I'm not your old lady Jax, and if your mum has anything to do with it I doubt I ever will be."
"Why what did she say?"
"I think it's more what I said. Look I don't know if I can handle this life anyway Jax. I was scared witless when Neil came in with that gun and I got a feeling that was one of the less dangerous things your involved in."
"Are you forgetting it was your life that bought Neil into my life?"
"No, I'm trying to forget how bloody sexy you looked coming to my rescue"
"Oh yea whys that?" he said rapping his arm around her shoulders. She leaned into him.
"Because its gunna be a hell of a lot harder to leave if I don't"
"Why do you have to leave?"
"Because your all guns and bikes and that's so so so sexy until I got the gun in my face, then its just friggin terrifying. I don't think I got what it takes to be an old lady"
"I don't know. You could look after me"
"Gee thanks so basically I'm good enough to be your carer"
"I didn't mean that. Your sexy and fun, you get on great with the guys. I'd be happy to have you around Abel, unlike most of these girls. You call me on my bullshit, your nice"
"These girls?" she cut off.
"Yea you know…."
"You mean crow eaters" she said extracting herself from him. "You think I'm one of them. Throw myself at anyone in Samcro, legs open"
"No I didn't say that"
"You're a real ass Jax you know that" she said storming into the club. She went into Jax's room and grabbed her bag. She looked around to see Zoe was gone. To think of it Zoe had left the room behind her when Jax came in. "Where are you Zoe?" she mumbled.
She walked out to the bar where Juice was sitting behind his laptop.
"You seen Zoe?"
"Uh"
"Is she with Happy?"
"Yea" he said sheepishly
"Great. Look can you just tell everyone I'm heading back to mum and dads I'm not in the mood to play prison warden"
"Sure, oh I filled the spare car up if you need it" he offered sweetly.
"Thanks" she said grabbing the keys from his hand "for everything. Tonight included"
"It was nothing, can't have someone like that running round Charming."
"Yea. Night Juice" she lent over the bar and kissed his cheek. She couldn't help having a soft spot for Juice. He had this child like innocence about him despite his occupation.
When she walked out the building she saw it Jax and Tara standing to the side talking. Her temper flared
fuck you Jackson Teller
she thought as she threw her things in the back of the car. She pulled out, suddenly Jax appeared in the headlights. "Casey" he shouted over the engine. She flipped him off before driving away. When she got back to her parents she crashed out on her bed thinking she would never sleep. But her head hit the pillow and she was out.
Casey rolled over to see the clock on the side it flashed 12.30. She groaned and pulled herself up. She was depressed
Stupid Jax.
Stupid Tara
Stupid me.
Should have known better.
She had slept in her jeans and t-shirt. As she rolled off the bed she decided to have a shower, change into her P.J's, bum around the house and stuff her face. She showered and changed into her oversized nightie that had a yawning tiger on the front. She made her way to the kitchen expecting to see her mum making lunch.
"Mum do we have any choc" she stopped in her tracks "Gemma"
"Casey" she greeted appraising her "Nice pussy" she said nodding her head towards the nightie.
Casey's eyes narrowed, Gemma's words the previous night coming back to her. "Thanks. Why are you here?" she said, sharp edge in her voice.
"Don't be so rude. She's our guest. We discussed it this morning and decided she could stay here a couple days, poor woman can't even see her son because she was wrongly accused, it felt only right that we help. Why aren't you dressed?" asked Lucy over her shoulder as she chopped lettuce.
"Depressed" said Casey making her way to the fridge. She brought out the tomato's and cucumber, grabbed a chopping board and joined her mother. Choosing to ignore Gemma.
"Why are you depressed?"
"A guy as usual"
"What happened? Did he get fresh?"
Casey couldn't help but laugh "Mum you don't half make me laugh sometimes"
"What? What did I say?" she asked genuinely unsure. Her eyes still on the lettuce.
"Nothing mum. No he didn't 'get fresh'. The opposite actually"
"Oh I'm sorry honey. You can have Mr. Peter if you want"
"Eww mum. That's so gross it was bad enough when he was just my English teacher, now he's sexing my mum up and you put that image in my head. Shame on you"
"I'll have you know he has a lovely"
"Stop please I'm begging you don't say something I'm gunna regret"
"Your such a prude"
"Uh excuse me I've accepted your open relationship. I think that's quite open minded of me"
"Yes dear. Are you having lunch with us?"
"No it's chocolate and crisps for me today. Is Tina here?"
"Yes she's in the front room with George and Luke. You know I'd love a grandchild like that one day." She said wistfully.
"You'll get it soon enough with Zoe and Edward"
"Not if she continues to carry on with Happy. And anyway a kid growing up in Edwards house would just produce another spoilt mummies boy"
"You know about Happy?"
"Of course I know a mother always knows"
