Hi! Thank you for the reviews from the first chapter. I appreciate feedback, negative or positive. I want to take things slowly between the two at first and pick up the speed once they truly get together. Will Lyla be able to live with his lifestyle? Will she crack under the pressure and split like Tara?

Lyla felt overwhelmed, all this shit with Georgie was getting to her. She felt so helpless and scared something she hasn't felt in years. Jax took her fear away when he was around but he had more shit to do than be with her all day. She could tell he was exhausted and tired.

Jax was dealing with a lot of shit but seeing Lyla made it better. They had a connection he hasn't had since high school. She was a broken girl with a troubled past that wants to be something in this world. She was in college to become a nurse, doing porn payed her student loan and bills. Lyla admitted to him she plans to quit once she can afford living off her nursing paycheck. Jax didn't mind hearing about her future plans it gave him hope in an odd way.

Luann asked Jax and Opie to come to the studio, she was shooting an important scene with her two money sellers. Jax and Opie arrived shortly after and noticed a black tahoe parked down the street. Opie realized it's the same one that follows Ima. "He has his two main targets that's for sure." Opie says. "The saffron sisters." Jax replied.

Ima and Lyla just finished filming their scene, Lyla went to her dressing room to get cleaned up for her class at 5. "Hey Jax." Ima said putting her lingerie back on. "Hi darlin' where's Lyla?" Jax asked. "Her dressing room, why do you care?" Ima asked offended. "Club business." He replied before walking down to her dressing room.

Jax knocked twice before opening the door, he opened the door to a half naked Lyla and enjoyed the sight. "Do you want a picture?" She giggled with a blush. "I need more than a picture babe." Jax replies. Lyla loved when he called her babe it gave her butterflies. "That's too bad for you then." She said throwing on her shirt.

"I just wanted to check in and see if you need anything?" He asks. "I think I'm good unless you can drive me to my class at 6?" Lyla asked. "Okay, I'll meet you in the parking lot in 5." He replied with a smile before walking out.

As Jax was walking out Ima pulled him into her dressing room across the hall. "I figured we could talk and maybe do a lot less talking and more moaning." Ima said planting her lips on his. Jax pulled away "Thanks for the offer but I got shit to do." Ima scoffed "What does she have that I don't?' Jax laughed softly "A brain."

Jax left the room quickly not wanting to hear her meltdown. Lyla was waiting leaning against his bike and he couldn't help but think she looked hot. "It suits you." Jax tells Lyla. "Leaning against a bike? I think anyone can suit that." She replied with a small chuckle. "Nobody can pull it off like you." He said with a grin.

"Saving your charming for someone else Teller, maybe Ima she has the biggest crush on you." Lyla tells him. He never met a girl that could resist his bullshit charm and sweet lines, he met his match and knew it was going to be a fight to get into her heart. "Ima doesn't get the hint, if I wanted her it would've happened a long time ago." Jax replied.

Hearing that gave Lyla a sense of hope that Ima wouldn't get between them, she was falling fast already but she had her heart to protect. "Yeah yeah Teller let's go before you make me late." She told him grabbing his helmet to put it on. "Yes ma'am."

The ride to charming community college was short and quiet. He loved feeling Lyla's arms tighten around his waist when he sped up. He parked in front of the main door and cut his engine. "What time is your class done?" Jax asked her. "Usually around 7:30." She replies. "Okay I'll be out here at 7:25." He said with a smile. Lyla smiled softly and nodded "See you then."

She handed him his helmet and gave him a kiss on the cheek before walking into the building. Lyla's class felt like it was taking 10 years, she was watching the clock. "Lyla?" Mr. Parker said getting her attention. "Yes?" She replied. "Your internship at St. Thomas starts next monday and will follow through until the end of this semester. You will have 8 weeks in person learning after the 8 weeks is up you will receive your degree if you pass."

Lyla nodded, she beamed with happiness. She was one more step closer to getting her degree and getting out of porn. She didn't hate filming it paid her bills but she felt like she didn't have respect for herself.

After her class Jax was waiting outside like he said he would be. "I didn't think you were going to come." Lyla admits. "I keep my word darlin'." He replied handing her his helmet. Lyla put it on and got on the back, she wrapped her arms around his waist and held on. Jax took her to her apartment. "Thanks for the lift I appreciate it." She said with a smile.

"Anytime babe." He replied. "I start my internship next monday, I don't know how to tell Luann I can't film for 8 weeks." She said nervously. "I could tell her if you want?" Jax asked. "Okay please, I'll see you later Teller." Lyla said before walking inside.
