Crash Into Me-Chapter 18
"What's this I hear about you shacking up with some white man?" Brea's cousin Jessica asked. "You know my mom is having a total cow over you staying with this guy."
Brea rolled her eyes. She did not give a rat's ass what her aunt Pamela, Jessica's mom thought.
"When did you talk to your mom? You never talk to her?" Brea asked holding the phone to her ear by her shoulder while dressing Abel.
"She called me ranting and raving wanting me to come talk some sense into you. You know she must be desperate to call me." Jessica laughed.
"She must have forgot you were once married to a white man."
"Clearly….or she wants to remind you and me how that marriage failed miserably."
"He was an ass anyway. Jax is not like that." Brea said giving Abel a quick kiss after pulling on his shirt.
"His name is Jax….sounds sexy."
"He is." Brea smiled as she thought of last night. She was surprised she could walk this morning.
"Well I am coming to see you and this mystery man."
Brea wanted to jump for joy as she missed her cousin. Jessica was her best friend besides her sister Dana. She hardly ever got to see her even though Jessica lived only an hour away.
"You mind if I stay with you a couple of days?" Jessica asked.
"Of course not!" As soon as the words left her mouth, she thought she should have asked Jax. Jessica was a hellion but she knew her and Jax would get along fine. "I'll text you the address. When are you coming?"
"Today. We need to talk about your new brother and my new cousin. Who knew your mom kept such a big secret for so long. Just when you think you know someone."
"I know. He is a doctor at the hospital I work at and I am friends with his wife."
"Get the fuck outta here! Seriously?" Jessica nearly screamed into the phone.
"Yep….I'm serious. It is truly a small world. I gotta get going Jess and get Mya to pre-school and get to work."
"Alright cuz. I will see you this evening."
Brea hung up the phone, picked up Abel and headed in the kitchen. She found Neeta at the stove making breakfast, Jax sitting at the table reading the newspaper and Mya chowing down on waffles. Brea sat Abel at the table and Neeta gave him a plate of waffles.
"Good morning." Brea smiled at Neeta.
"Good Morning sweetheart." Neeta said sitting a plate down for Brea. Jax looked up from the paper.
"How you feeling?" he asked with a smirk. Brea face became hot. She knew he was asking her that because of last night. He literally had her shaking and in tears last night from multiple orgasms.
"I'm fine." She smiled back. "Jax, my cousin is coming down this evening. Do you mind if she stays with us a couple of days?"
"No I don't mind. Where would she sleep?"
"With Mya I guess." Brea hardly slept with Mya anymore as she was always with Jax.
"Cousin Jess is coming?" Mya asked.
"Yes baby. She will be here later today."
"Yaaayyyy!" Mya shouted. Jax laughed looking at sweet Mya. She was such a sweet little girl. He just couldn't believe she shared half of her DNA with Henry Lin.
Brea and Jessica both screamed and hugged each other.
"My God Brea! You look amazing!" Jess shrieked.
"So do you! Did you get more tattoos?"
"Yep, I finished the sleeve on this arm." Jessica said lifting up her right arm.
"My God Jess it looks amazing."
"You need to let me tattoo you. Why don't we put Jax's name in a heart right on your ass." Jessica said laughing.
"Oh my God Jess..no!"
"Where is my little cousin?"
"I'm right here!" Mya shouted running into Jessica's arms.
"Look how big you have gotten. Could you become even more beautiful?" Jessica said planting kisses all over Mya's face. Brea helped Jessica with her bags and put them in the room she would be sleeping in.
"Where is the mystery man that has your nose wide open?"
Brea laughed. "He's not here yet. He should be home soon."
"Look what I brought." Jessica said pulling out a bottle of tequila.
"Good Lord Jessica!"
"Were getting drunk tonight!"
"Thank God I am off tomorrow. We will have some as soon as the kids are put to bed."
"Kids?"
"Yeah. Jax has a little boy."
"Ah hell. You are whipped. He got you taking care of his kid."
"Abel is a sweet kid. You will like him. Neeta and him went to the store and will be back soon."
About an hour later Neeta and Abel came home and Brea started on dinner. Neeta stayed for a little while to help and then went home.
Brea cooked Mexican as it was Jessica's favorite and Brea made the best enchiladas. Brea looked at the time and wondered when Jax would be home. She sent him a quick text asking if he would be home for dinner. He texted back immediately and told her no. He will be home later. After the kids were put to bed Jess and Brea took showers, put on t-shirts and lounge pants, sat out in the backyard and open the bottle of tequila.
"Dana called me the other day. She sounded good." Jess told Brea.
"Yeah she is doing better. She's been sober. She even met with Mya."
"Really? That's good. She still with that Chinese guy?"
Brea nodded yes.
"Well he seems to be doing right by her."
"I guess." Brea shrugged.
"SAMCRO? What does that mean?" Jess asked looking at Brea's t-shirt.
"It's Jax club. Sons of Anarchy."
"Jax is in Sons of Anarchy?!"
"Yeah. He is the president. You heard of them?"
Jessica smiled as she thought on the memory that flashed in her mine.
"Yeah. I tattooed a guy that's a Son." And that was not all she did to him. It was one of the craziest, wildest nights Jessica ever experienced and she was pretty wild.
"Who?" Brea asked.
"His name was Juice."
"Oh I know Juice! I've met him briefly. He seems really nice. Cute too."
"Yeah he is." Jessica said remembering his muscular, sexy body. A shiver coursed through Jessica's body. She hoped she would run into Juice while she was visiting.
"I just can't believe my straight lace Brea is with a guy who is in a motorcycle gang…and president at that!"
"They are a motorcycle club." Brea said.
"Chile please! They are a gang….don't be naïve."
Brea didn't argue. Jess was right but Brea chose to ignore that fact.
"How the hell did you guys meet?"
Brea told Jess how they met and how Mya took to him right away.
"Wow talking about fate."
Brea never thought of her meeting Jax like that. Maybe it was fate.
After a couple of shots the girls were laughing and reminiscing about life when they heard the sound of bikes pull up.
"I think your man is home." Jessica said grinning. She could not wait to meet the man that had Brea glowing and looking like a completely different woman. After a few moments, Brea heard Jax call her name.
"Out back!" she yelled to him.
Jax and Happy walked out to the backyard.
"Hey Happy!" Brea said getting up to plant a kiss on Jax's lips.
"Happy wanted to see Mya. She sleep?" Jax asked before Brea planted a quick kiss on his lips.
"Yeah…It's 9:30."
"I thought she would still be up since there is no school tomorrow."
Jessica got up from the lawn chair to meet Jax and Happy. Damn he was fine!
"Jax, Happy this is my cousin Jessica."
Jax looked at Jessica and wondered how she could be related to Brea. She was the total opposite of Brea. Jessica was a few shades lighter than Brea with sleeve tattoos on both of her arms. She sported a large afro with streaks of purple highlights throughout and had a septum nose piercing. She was just as beautiful as Brea. She was Brea's mean ass aunt's child? Jax shook Jessica's hand.
"Nice to meet you Jax." Jessica said taking note of his gorgeous blue eyes. Yeah she can see why her cousin was wide open. Brea turned to introduce Jess to Happy and stopped short when she saw the expression on Happy's face. It was pure awe. Brea looked at Jess and saw her expression. It hit Brea that Happy was just the type of man that Jessica loved. He was bald, covered in tattoos and a total alpha male.
"Happy, this is Jessica."
Jess extended her had to Happy.
"Nice to meet you Happy." Jessica purred.
Brea felt sorry for Happy because when Jess sets her sights on someone she had to have them and she put new meaning in the term man eater. Every time Jess would dump someone Brea would sing Hall and Oats song "Maneater" to her. Of course as Brea got to know Happy she had the feeling Jess may had finally met her match. Jax and Happy joined Brea and Jess outside.
"You guys want a shot of tequila?" Jess asked.
"Sure." Happy said as his eyes roamed over Jess from head to toe.
Brea ran inside to get two more shot glasses.
"Jax you know Jess tattooed Juice." Brea told him handing him a shot glass.
"You're a tattoo artist?" Happy asked
"Yeah." Jess answered with a gorgeous smile.
"So is Happy." Jax said taking a shot.
"What did you tatt for Juice?" Happy asked.
"The skull on each of his pec with the words Son and Shine."
"You do good work." Happy said thinking of Juice's tattoo. He remembered Juice showing him the tattoo after he got it. Jax and Brea looked at each other with slight boredom as Happy and Jess started talking shop about the tattoo industry. After a few more shots in everyone they started to get a little loud as they enjoyed each other's company. Brea noticed Mya first as she walked outside in her nightgown rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"Auntie you guys are too loud…..Happy!" she screamed when she saw Happy. She instantly ran up to him and hopped in his lap.
"Hey baby doll." Happy said planting a kiss on her forehead. Jess was deciding if Happy would be her new boy toy while she was in town and seeing his interaction with Mya sealed the deal. He was so sweet with her little cousin.
"I'm sorry we woke you sweetheart." Brea slurred a little. The tequila had started to hit Brea.
"Come on sweetheart. I'll tuck you back in bed." Happy said standing up carrying Mya.
"I'm thirsty." Mya said hugging Happy's neck.
"Well we will get you some water." Happy said walking into the house.
"Oh my God! How sweet is that?" Jessica said putting her hand over her heart. "Guess I'll hit the hay too. Maybe he will tuck me in." Jessica winked at Brea and Jax as she got up.
"Jessica…behave!" Brea laughed.
Jessica sucked her teeth. "Never!" she called back as she walked into the house.
"Wow….she is something else." Jax said getting up. He stuck his hand out to Brea. She grabbed it and got up.
"Steady now." Jax smiled as she stumbled a little. "I think I am going to have to take advantage of you since you are drunk." Jax leaned in and softly kissed Brea.
"I can't wait." Brea said as Jax pulled her into the house.
"This is so damn good." Jessica said licking her chocolate and mint ice cream.
"It's yummy." Mya laughed licking her cookies and cream flavored ice cream.
Brea, Mya and Jessica spent the day shopping, getting pedicures and manicures and now they were stuffing their faces with ice cream.
Brea gasped as she saw a display in one of the shop windows of a cute pair of sandals.
"Jess look at those sandals. They are gorgeous."
"It is cute. It looks just like you." Jessica tried not to vomit. They were so girly girl. Jess preferred her Doc Martens.
"Here hold my ice cream. I'm going to check out the price."
Brea handed Jess her ice cream and darted into the store. She was about to ask the sales associate how much the sandals were when she heard Mya scream. Brea ran outside to see Jess trying to keep a man with a ski mask on from pulling Mya into a black van that pulled up to the curb.
"Stop!" Brea screamed as she ran toward the van. Another man appeared beside the man pulling Mya and took the butt of his gun and hit Jess in the head with it knocking her out. They pulled a screaming Mya into the van and screeched off. The last thing Brea saw was Mya's screaming face with her arms outstretched for her before the van door slammed shut.
