WOW so many reviews on the last chapter, I guess being back in Charming will do that ;) I love seeing the reviews with questions on if Dominic and Freddy are working together, or separately; keep it coming with the speculations! Remember to read and review :) xo
"Why didn't you tell me you knew he was dirty? I wouldn't have left you alone" Misha said as she put her beer down. She insisted on day drinking after I had tried to order a water with my food order; she ordered me a Bacardi and Coke.
"Because I knew you wouldn't have left, it wasn't like I was alone long; Jax was at my door later yesterday afternoon. I'm just glad I packed up my things around the house because if I hadn't I'd probably be naked right now or in Jax's clothes" She smirked and looked me over quickly.
"I'm sure you two had some fun when he surprised you. When I showed up he told me he was going down there to see you, I'm just glad he was there when all of this went down… so how's the living arrangement going? I know it hasn't even been a day but you said you didn't want to move in with him right away."
"Well considering all of my things are unpacked and the boxes are put away, I don't think I'll be moving anytime soon."
"You two are perfect for each other have I ever told you that?"
"You have, and thank you for this… I really needed to get my mind off of things and with Jax doing shit with the club today I didn't really want to be alone" I took a long sip from my glass as she nodded.
"Well you don't have to worry about being alone again; you've got a whole family; the club, plus my family just up the street. I told my mom after I got off the phone with you that you made a surprise move over night and she's thrilled that you're here for good"
"I bet she is" I smirked and then gave a small smile at the waitress who served us our meals. I ordered an easy BLT sandwich with fries on the side; she opted out for a salad because she was going to be making a big dinner tonight for her and Opie. We ate and spoke; mostly about what had happened last night and I had told her to expect Dominic to call her more than one more time. She knew not to give anything away; she was a really good liar when she needed to be.
After lunch and more drinks than I should have accepted, Misha drove us to the club house at five fifteen. The club was still in a meeting in the back room and we knew better than to interrupt that, so we walked across the parking lot to a waiting Gemma who was outside of her office smoking a cigarette, when we walked up I noticed that it was a joint instead. She must have been having a rough day like the rest of us.
"Hey sweetheart, I'm so glad you're back so soon" She gave me a light hug and I smiled while hugging her back "Was getting tired of seeing my son sulk over not having you around."
"Jax sulking? Now I would pay to see that" Misha said as Gemma gave her a grin.
"But of course Jax being the sweet talker he is got you back up here a day after he went down there to spend the weekend with you, what did he say to get you to change your mind?" She asked while we walked into her cooled office.
"He didn't need to say much, I was planning on moving up here in a week and a half anyway; now just seemed like a better time than any" Gemma smiled over at me before dropping to sit in her black chair behind her desk.
"Surprised you didn't take the jeep with you" She said. It was Gemma Morrow, she always knew when something was going on; but I wasn't going to give her any reason to think that something was really going on.
"The jeep is sadly gone. I got into a fender bender a week ago; air bags went off so it's totaled"
"Oh shit, are you alright?" She asked and I nodded, feeling a bit guilty because she actually looked concerned.
"Yeah, not a scratch on me thankfully, airbags nearly knocked the wind out of me though"
"Tell me about it, those suckers can do damage" She said while leaning forward and gathering a few folders on her desk. "Oh looks like church is out" She said and I turned my head around to see a few of the guys walking in the parking lot. I smiled and pulled my bag up onto my shoulder as all three of us exited the office.
I watched as Jax spoke with Chibs and Bobby by the picnic table and Opie gave me a bear hug that lifted me off of my feet when he spotted the two of us. "Fucking awesome you're back in town."
"Thanks Op" I smiled and pulled away from him once he put me back down onto my feet and I laughed softly to myself.
"There just shooting the shit" He told me once he noticed my eyes go back over to the three men talking.
"I didn't want to interrupt"
"Believe me, it'll be a welcome interruption" His arm wrapped around Misha's shoulders as he kissed the top of her head gently. He towered over her, I still found it funny that after everything she went through with Tony back in L.A, and here Opie was waiting for her to come back to Charming to be with him.
"Thanks, I'll catch up with you later"
"Oh my darling, my beautiful, sexy, blonde darling" Tig said as I walked towards Jax, Bobby and Chibs.
"It's good to see you too Tigger" He smirked as I hugged him.
"How are you doing? Sick of being with Jax yet?"
"Never" I said with a small laugh "But if that somehow happens you'll be the first one I tell."
"Be sure to do that sweetheart" I smirked at Tig while giving a small shake of my head.
"I'll see you around Tig" I told him before we parted and I continued on my way to Jax and Bobby who were talking now, Chibs had found a brunette that peaked his interest by the line-up of motorcycles. Once Bobby spotted me behind Jax his once serious face turned into a full blown smile. I wrapped my arms around Jax's waist and kissed the leather of his cut in the middle of his shoulder blades. His arm moved up as I slid under his until his arm was placed around my shoulders and he gave me a quick kiss to the top of my head.
"Hey Bobby it's good to see you" I gave the older man a small smile and I received one back from him.
"Pleasure seeing you darlin', such a sight for sore eyes" I rolled my eyes while Jax just chuckled at Bobby's flirting.
"Hey man, I'll catch you later alright?" Jax said to the Sons secretary before he pulled me along with him into the club house.
"So I have some good news" I told him while he let me go and walked behind the bar to grab something.
"Yeah?"
"That dance studio over by the square is up for sale all of a sudden and while I was at lunch with Mish, she got a call saying her bid went through and she's the owner now" I tapped my fingers on the bar's counter top as he straightened himself out and he had a box in his hand.
"So you'll be working over there?"
"Once she gets the place up and running yeah, won't be for another week or two. But I'm going to help her out because apparently she put my name down as part owner" He looked at me now and raised an eyebrow and I nodded "Yeah I know."
"I'll have to thank her for keeping you busy until all of this shit gets sorted out, here" He slid me over a flip cell phone "It's not as fancy as your last but until-"
"Don't worry about it, as long as we can get in contact with each other then that's all I care about" I put the phone into my bag and then remembered something "Oh and about the piece that's in my bag, you could have warned me."
"I'll worry less when I know you can protect yourself" I hummed while nodding, dropping that conversation until we were at home. I had been in the bathroom at the restaurant and after dropping my bag onto the counter in front of the mirror all of the contents fell from it and scattered along the floor. Luckily I had seen it in time before another woman came in to use the restroom. "Any more calls from that Detective?" He asked
"No, not that I know of. He called her a few times this morning but if he's called again she hasn't said anything to let me know" He nodded and leaned against the bar and then sighed deeply before running his fingers back through his blonde hair "What's wrong?" I asked, sensing something was up.
"Nothing, just club shit." Right. Club shit that I didn't need to know about. "How are you doing?" He asked while changing the subject back onto me.
"I'm fine, really. Good job with changing the subject but you know I'm going to ask about it again later" Just then the phone in my bag started to ring loudly and that caused me to raise my eyebrow. I grabbed the phone and looked at the caller ID and then smirked at Jax "You gave Koz my number already?"
"He kept asking how you were, Kozik is fucking annoying so talk to him and later we'll talk about it" He gave me a quick kiss before leaving me alone to talk to my uncle.
"Hey Uncle Herman" I said into the phone and I heard him grumble on the other end.
"I told you not to call me that kid" I laughed and put my elbow up onto the counter top with the phone against my ear
"Sorry Koz, how are you doing? It's been like a week since I talked to you last."
"I'm alright, not much going on here in Tacoma. Heard you moved to Charming"
"Been talking to Jax?" I asked while looking back at my guy who was now talking to a blonde haired girl who looked to be around 25. I narrowed my eyes but didn't think too much into it.
"If you're not gonna pick up your phone yeah. He taking care of you alright?"
"He's taking great care of me Koz, I'm all moved in so I won't be leaving so when am I going to see you down here?"
"Still in talks with transferring out, don't worry you'll see me around there soon. So why the sudden jump from L.A. to Charming over night?" I bit down on my bottom lip and shrugged to myself.
"Jax can be very convincing when he wants to be, plus I was all packed up and ready to go anyway so I thought why not?"
"You got Mary's spontaneous gene I see" I raised an eyebrow at his choice of words.
"Yeah I guess I did… but anyways please come down to see me sometime or I'll have to come up to see you, I still owe you a beer"
"Shit yeah you do, this gonna be your number?"
"Yeah, so text me when you're around and I'll try and be in contact more, Jax told me you were calling his cell asking about me, I didn't know you were worried that much"
"I find my only blood left yeah I'm gonna be worried when you're not picking up your phone, don't do it again" he said with a bit of authority behind his voice and I smiled
"Yes sir, a text every couple of days?"
"I can agree to that. I've gotta go Abs, stay safe down there"
"You too up there uncle Koz"
"See ya kid" He hung then and I shut the phone and put it back into my bag with a smile while turning around after I stood up. Jax was finishing his conversation with the blonde and this time I noticed her hands placed on his bicep. I remembered seeing her around the club house before for the first Barbeque; she was sitting on a club member's lap from another charter.
Putting my bag down onto the counter, I walked over to them and slid myself in between the two and then placed a hand on the back of Jax's neck and brought his lips down onto mine. So my actions were out of pure jealousy but this croweater needed to know that Jax was taken and if he wasn't going to tell her to keep her paws off of him then I was. I heard the girl shuffle behind me, dropping her hand away from his arm when Jax snaked his arms around my waist to pull me against him. His teeth pulled at my bottom lip when we finished our passionate kiss and he pressed his forehead against mine.
"What are you doing darlin'?" He asked with a playful smirk on his lips
"Oh nothing"
"Really? Cause it seems to me you're marking your territory"
"So what if I am? If I'm your old lady Jax then I can do that"
"So you've accepted the name finally" He said while kissing my temple, his fingers pushed themselves into the back of my denim shorts.
"Yeah I guess I have… so next time a croweater decides to put a hand on you in my presence expect this to happen every time"
"Jealousy will-"
"Shut up" I mumbled while pressing my lips against his again and he gladly dropped the topic.
Once others came into the club house we separated and Jax was whisked away by Clay who was happy to see me back as well. As Gemma put a few things behind the bar I walked over and grabbed my bag "I saw what you did" She said and that caused me to cock my head to the side in confusion.
"What did you see?" I asked her as she placed a hand on her hip with a smile
"You grabbing Jax and basically telling that croweater to fuck off, I didn't know you had it in you Abby I'm impressed"
"Oh" I looked down and back up at her face "Thanks? I didn't know what came over me to be honest, just didn't like her hand on him is all."
"Ya know that's not going to be the last time that shit happens right?"
"I'm aware… guess I'm going to have to get that tattoo sooner rather than later" Her laugh caught me off guard but it made me laugh under my breath as well because she pulled her low cut white tank top to the side over her chest to show off hers.
"Believe me a croweater doesn't give a shit if the guys got an old lady, you just need to let them know he's taken all of the time"
"And how do I do that?"
"Satisfy him enough to know he won't be looking someplace else for pussy but from what I just saw you'll be fine just fitting in" I thought about her words as she left to go back outside. Had Clay looked someplace else? Was she speaking from experience? I would hate to think he would cheat on his wife but I guess that's what happens when you get older. Was Jax going to do that to me when we were older? I shook the thoughts from my head and took in a deep breath before leaving the club house as Misha was heading inside.
"Oh hey… everything okay?" She asked as I tried to hide what I was thinking on my face.
"Yeah, what's up?" I asked her
"I wanted to go by the dance studio tomorrow before the town fundraiser if you're up for it, check out the class schedule and add things if needed"
"Yeah that sounds good, I still need to get over to the store, Jax's fridge is empty and I thought of making some baked goods for tomorrow"
"Do you want to go over there now? I'm sure Jax doesn't want anything to do with shopping for groceries" Misha suggested and I nodded.
"Yeah let me just tell him and I'll meet you at your car" She nodded while I walked back into the club house.
"Hey Kip, where'd Jax?" I asked after scanning my eyes around but didn't see the blonde in sight.
"In his room" I nodded "its 3 doors down" He pointed toward the hallway while I thanked him and made my way down the short hallway and knocked on the closed door. It opened a few moments later and Jax pulled the door open more.
"So this is your dorm" I whispered while looking around "Why haven't I been invited back here yet?"
"That's a good question, what's up?" He asked as I glanced at the notebooks on his bed.
"Oh, right" I turned to face him as he looked me over with those incredible blue eyes. "Misha and I are going to head out to the store, pick up some groceries and then she's going to drop me back at the house."
"Sounds good, you sure you don't want me there?"
"I think I got this one covered" I patted a hand against his blue t-shirt clad chest and took in another deep breath before looking up at him "I'm sorry about earlier, sometimes my thoughts run wild and I act before thinking."
"Don't worry about it darlin', I enjoyed it" He brushed a few loose blonde strands away from the corner of my eye before dipping his head and gave me a quick kiss "I'll see you in a couple of hours, call me if you need anything" I nodded and leaned up to kiss him a bit longer this time.
