Hazing Chapter 22

Nina opened her eyes and immediately reached over for Jax. She felt his side of the bed empty. He must be up with the kids. Nina sat up in bed to listen for the sounds of her daughter and her brothers. Silence. Nina guessed they were still asleep. Where was Jax? He never left the bed until the kids woke up, as he always wanted to be close to her. Nina was a little disappointed as she was in the mood for morning sex. Nina let out a long sigh and reached for her phone. It was gone. Nina's heart started to pound in her chest. She quickly got out of bed, threw on a robe and walked out to the living room. Nina found the kids still asleep and Jax sitting at the kitchen table in his boxers. Nina felt as if she was going to vomit when she saw her phone sitting in the middle of the table. Hearing her enter the living room Jax looked over at Nina with fury in his eyes. Shit! Nina hesitantly walked up to the table.

"Who the fuck is Michael?!"

Nina could tell he had to control the volume in his voice as not to wake the kids but his tone and the look in his eyes were deadly and for the first time she was scared of him. Nina unconsciously took a step back wondering what he would do to her. Jax stood up and walked up to Nina leaving only an inch of space.

"Why do you have my phone?" Nina mustered up the nerve to ask an enraged Jax.

"Who is he Nina?"

"He is just a friend from school." Nina looked away from Jax's penetrating gaze.

"You're lying. A friend does not send multiple texts asking if I am gone, telling you to call him when I leave and texting he misses you. You cheating on me?"

Nina shook her head no; Jax grabbed her upper arm and pulled her to him.

"Are you lying to me?" He asked as his grip tightens on her arm.

"Jax you are hurting me." Nina gasped in pain and looked over at the kids hoping they were not awake to see Jax's anger.

"If you are fuckin him I will kill him. Does he not know who I am?!" Jax's voice started to rise and his grip did not loosen.

"Jax let go of my arm." Nina tried to jerk away but Jax had a death grip on her arm.

"Daddy can I have pancakes?"

Nina and Jax looked over at Abel who was sitting up, rubbing sleep from his eyes. Jax mood instantly changed.

"Sure son we can have pancakes." Jax smiled at his son as he slowly let go of Nina's arm. Nina rubbed her arm and wondered if it would bruise later. "This is far from over." Jax hissed in Nina's ear before heading into the kitchen. Nina shook her head and grabbed her phone. Why didn't she put her phone on silent? Nina swiped her phone and almost gawked at all the text messages and missed calls from Michael. What the hell was wrong with him? He knew better.

"Don't you dare call or text him back." Jax snapped as he pulled pancake mix from the cupboard. Nina sucked her teeth and Jax's face turned a shade of red as he slammed the pancake mix box down on the counter and headed toward Nina. Nina found herself stepping back from his approaching figure when Abel ran up to his dad stopping Jax in his tracks. Jax picked up his oldest and kissed his cheeks.

Nina went to take a shower. Locking the bathroom door she texted Michael.

Why would u text and call me so many times? I told u he was here.

I thought he would be gone by now. Sorry

He saw your texts and calls. Do not text or call me. I will contact you first.

When can I see u again?

Can't talk now. Will call u later.

K

Nina deleted the conversation and stepped into the shower.

Showered and dressed Nina found Jax and the kids at the table eating pancakes, eggs and bacon. Lily was sitting on Jax lap as she ate.

"I made you a plate." Jax pointed to the plate beside him on the table. Nina sat at the table and smiled at her baby girl.

"Is what daddy made good?" she asked her face lighting up as she looked at their daughter. Lily nodded her head excitedly as she stuffed her mouth with pancakes.

"Did you contact him when you were in the bathroom?" Jax asked staring Nina down.

"No." she lied making a point to look him dead in his eyes because if she looked away he would know she was lying.

"I don't want you talking or seeing him again."

"He is in a few of my classes Jax so I will see him. I don't know what you are so worked up about. He is just a friend. I already told you."

"I don't believe you."

"Believe what you want. I am not going to argue with you about it." Nina snapped.

"Don't test me Nina." Jax hissed.

"Or what?" Nina challenged.

An evil smirk displayed on Jax's face that sent chills down Nina's spine.

"Try me and you will find out."

Nina looked away and started on her food. They ate mostly in silence except when the kids talked. Jax phone went off.

"I have to go." He announced after he hung up the phone. "I will have Gemma come by and pick up the boys."

Nina did not acknowledge him. Jax got up from the table holding Lily. Nina scooted out her seat as Jax handed her Lily. Nina and the kids continued eating while Jax went to get dress. Nina wondered if he would look at her phone as she left it on the nightstand. He would not see anything as she cut it off. She was afraid Michael would text or call again despite her telling him not to contact her until she contacts him.

Jax did find himself picking up her phone and notice she had cut it off. He cut it back on to see if there were any new messages. There were none so he cut it back off. Something was definitely going on with Nina and this guy. Jax would deal with it once he dealt with club business. He was not about to lose Nina.

On the way out the door, he kissed all three of his kids. He stopped and looked down at Nina and she nearly gasped at the look of pure love that showed on his face. All traces of anger were gone. Jax leaned over, lifted Nina's chin and slowly kissed her. Nina leaned up and opened his mouth with her tongue they were now in a full fledge kissed and would have continued if Abel didn't yell "EWWW! Gross!" Causing Nina and Jax to pull apart and laugh. Jax leaned over and planted one softer, quick kiss on her lips.

"Remember what I said Nina." He reminded her. Nina nodded her head and watched Jax walk out the door. What the fuck was she doing?

Jax sat on his bike smoking a cigarette waiting for Nina to get out of class. He had to go out of town on club business and had not seen Nina or his kids in a couple of days. After stopping by to see his mom who had all three of his children he headed to Nina's school. He knew her schedule thanks to Juice hacking skills so he knew which building she would be leaving in the next few minutes. He missed her and wanted to see her and he also wanted to see this Michael guy.

He flicked his cigarette on the ground when he saw a group of students come out the building. Jax felt as if he was just stabbed in the chest when he saw Nina walk out the building with a tall black guy walking with her. They both were laughing and walking very close to one another. The guy stopped and grabbed Nina's hand pulling her into a hug. Jax jumped off his bike and headed toward them. Not seeing an angry approaching Jax the guy kissed Nina on her forehead and Nina smile widen. She just happen to look over at an approaching Jax and the smile disappeared from her face and fear displayed on her face. She saw the scowl on Jax's face and knew what he was about to do.

"Jax don't!" Nina shouted stepping in front of Michael. It didn't stop Jax as he grabbed her arm, quickly pushed her out the way and clocked a confused looking Michael in the face. Michael fell to the ground and Jax got on top of him and started pounding his face in. Michael did not stand a chance.

"Jax stop! Stop it!" Nina screamed at the top of her lungs. She was terrified as Michael's face was turning into a bloody pulp. Nina grabbed Jax and tried to push him off but he did not budge.

"You're going to kill him! Stop it Jax!"

After a few more blows Jax finally got up. His hands were bloody, he was breathing hard and face red with anger.

"Don't you fuckin go near her again!" He yelled at a semi-conscious Michael. Looking down at his handy work Jax spit in Michael's face.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Nina screamed at him. Jax looked over at Nina.

"Don't you fuckin go near him again! You hear me?!" Jax blue eyes had turned a stormy grey color.

"Fuck you!" Nina shouted as she dropped to her knees to help Michael. Jax grabbed her by the arm and pulled her up. Nina hauled back and slapped Jax.

"Get the fuck away from me!" Tears of anger rolled down Nina's cheeks. Jax stepped back shocked by her reaction. What the hell did she think he was going to do seeing her with another man especially when he told her before to not to have any contact with him. Nina knew what type of man he was. Nina got back on her knees to help Michael. Jax stood in shock as he watched his love cry for another man as she tried to help him off the ground. Nina finally got Michael up and she looked over at Jax.

"Leave Jax! You have done enough damage!"

"Nina-"

"I said leave!" she screamed her brown eyes shooting daggers at him. Jax retreated feeling numb. Did he just lose the woman he loved?

M/N: Nina is pissing me off!
