TARA'S POV

AT THE SUPERMARKET

"Eggs, milk, bread" I said aloud doing a mental check off then someone came up behind me, covering my eyes with their hands.

"Guess who" an eagerly playful voice said

I recognized it to be Cherry.

"Cherry?" I asked unsure.

The person jump and turned me around, allowing me to see their face.

"Cherry! I announced

"Tara, I missed you" she leaped into my arms

"How did you know I was here?"

"Well I found out the club was back, figured you would be too. When I went over there, queen bitch herself told me you needed a few things, so here I am" she smiled

We walked down the junk food isle. Cherry grabbed a bag of twizzlers and opened it.

"So how was school without me?"

"I wouldn't know?"

"I'm not surprised" I rolled my eyes

She started chewing a twizzler "Yup guess we're just going to have to be strippers together" she passed me

I stopped walking and looked at her

"I'm just kidding" she laughed

"Cherry?"

She looked at me

"You ever thought about college? Moving away getting out of this God forsaken place?"

"Tara, your joking right?"

I gave her a serious look

"Okay, maybe not... Tara!"

"It was just a thought" I laughed to ease the tension "I was kidding!"

"If you say so" she said climbing into the shopping cart

I started pushing it and turned into the next isle.

Cherry's phone kept going off

"Aren't you popular today" I said looking down on her

"I guess"

"New boy toy?"

"No"

Her phone went off again

"Talk about desperate"

She didn't respond

I waved my hand in front of her face "Hello, can you hear me"

She turned and smiled at me.

Someone sneaked up behind me, kissed my neck and started tickling me.

"Ah" I squealed

I turned and hugged Jax

"Hey there darling" he smiled

"Hey" I smiled back

"Hey Jax" Cherry said

"What's up Cherry" he responded

"Let me guess, you were texting Jax" I looked at Cherry

"Guilty!" she replied

Jax took a twizzler from Cherry. "You almost done Tara?"

"What's the rush" I asked

"No rush"

This was suspicious.

We got to the register and I got ready to cash my things.

Jax saw me take out the money Gemma gave me

"Whoa whoa whoa, where did you get that!" he asked

"Uh, Gemma"

"You asked my mother for money!" he shouted causing the cashier to jump and people around us to stare.

"I didn't think it was a big deal" I explained

"What do you mean, you didn't think it was a big deal! She's my mom for crying out loud. God Tara!"

The cashier seemed worried and continued to stare at us, frightened

"Jax, relax" I looked around "people are starting to stare!"

He knocked something over "I don't give a fuck!"

Jax started walking to the doors and said "I'll meet you outside"

I looked at Cherry who kept laughing hysterically.

She got out the cart and threw her arm around my shoulder "Guys and their mood swings"

"Yea" I said taking the receipt and pushing the cart outside.

When Jax saw us come out of the supermarket he walked over to the Cutlass and helped us load the groceries into the trunk.

I just watched him, Cherry saw me looking at him and decided it was best to get leave us and get inside the car.

"You going to tell me what I did wrong"

"Nothing"

"Liar"

"Tara!"

"Fine, you got to eat too"

"What!"

"Yea you think money grows on trees. We were out of food. I was out of food!" I said throwing a bag of groceries inside the trunk

"If you did that for me, don't! Don't ask my mother for money!"

"Don't eat!" I screamed

He started laughing. "Oh my God!"

I looked at him as if he were insane

"Do you know how crazy we probably sound right now?" he managed to say while still laughing

I began laughing "I could only imagine"

Cherry popped her head out the window "Finally!"

We looked at her in silence and she pulled her head back as if she were a mischievous child caught in the act.

He faced me and took my hands in his, kissing them. "Look I don't want us to start getting into the habit of asking my mother, Clay, or anybody else for ANYTHING. One day we're going to get a place of our own and we got to learn how to manage. I want us to be independent and more importantly I don't want my family to feel obligated to help us, especially my mother. She's already too much in our business."

"Aw you want us to get a place together?"

"Is that the only part you heard?"

"Yea" I laughed

"No more, asking Gemma for money" he slammed the trunk close

"Yea yea, I hear you" I said looking away

"I mean it Tara" he directed my face so I would look at him

"Okay"

"Good, I got a surprise for you"

"What is it?" I asked getting into the car

He shut the door "meet me at the hospital"

"Okay... What kind of surprise would be at the hospital?"

"Guess your just going to have to meet me there and find out for yourself" he kissed me

I drove off.
