Author's Note: I'm curious if anyone would be interested in a Tig/OC story? I've been watching the series on Netflix again, and he is so unloved in the fanfic world. Also thank you for the reviews, favorites and follows. As usual, I do not own any of the SOA characters that will appear through out this story.
The next morning, Quinn was in complete zombie mode walking into the airport with her arm wrapped loosely around Gavin's once they had dropped their luggage off to be put on the plane. The brunette had on a pair of denim shorts with a slightly oversized black v-neck shirt and a red flannel on top, she hadn't bothered to take her ray-ban sunglasses off since her eyes were slightly blood shot from barely any sleep. After she adjusted the black beanie on her head, she put her make-shift purse on the chair beside her as she sat down to wait for the plane to start boarding and watched as Gavin walked away to get coffee.
Quinn had grabbed her large iPhone and decided to text Jax back, and then she remembered that he had kissed her the night before. She couldn't help the smile that formed on her lips and felt her cheeks start to warm up a little. Quinn wasn't sure in that moment what to text Jax back after it finally registered that they kissed.
Just as Quinn was about to text Jax, Gavin approached with two large Starbucks coffees for them, and then their plane was called to start boarding, so she slipped her phone into the back pocket of her shorts and grabbed her back-pack and followed Gavin towards the entrance for the plane.
Once the two were on the plane in their designated seats, Quinn turned to Gavin with a small smile forming on her lips. She had made the choice last night to not tell him about what Jeff had said regarding David so it wouldn't ruin their trip, but she had every intention of filling him on what had happened between Jax.
"So, I have some news." Quinn spoke lowly causing Gavin to perk up in his seat.
"Does this have anything to do with Jax being at the house last night?" Gavin questioned and watched as Quinn gave a nod, "Oh this better be good. Spill sister." Gavin added causing Quinn to let out a little laugh and adjusted herself in her seat.
"Well, he heard me out in the back yard when I couldn't sleep, so he came to make sure I was alright..." Quinn started out and lowered her voice when the flight attendent had started to speak over the intercom, "We were just talking and right before you came out he kissed me." Quinn added and quickly swatted Gavin's arm when he gasped overly loud, "Stop it!" Quinn hissed lowly with a laugh.
"He kissed you!?" Gavin questioned and watched the brunette nod her head, "How was it?" Gavin questioned again.
"It was...mind blowing." Quinn answered honestly, "I don't think I have ever felt that when I've been kissed." Quinn added and Gavin began to awe, "Oh shut up!"
"So have you talked to him since? I saw you looking at your phone in the airport." Gavin commented.
Quinn shook her head no, "He told me last night to text him when we landed, he sent me a text this morning to have a safe flight. I wasn't thinking this morning and then when I realized that we kissed, I didn't know what to say to him." Quinn admitted.
Gavin eyed the woman for a moment, "You like him, don't you?" Gavin questioned, "I mean more than just a friendly neighbor sort of thing." Gavin added and watched as Quinn bit her bottom lip to not smile and gave a head nod, "Girl, text him back!" Gavin added.
"I don't know what to say!" Quinn sighed and watched as Gavin took her phone out of her hand and unlocked the screen. She had tried to get it back from him but his long arm had held her back while his other hand began to type out a text to Jax, "Gavin!" Quinn growled and heard the text being sent.
"Oh chill out. It's not like I told him you want to jump his bones." Gavin laughed and handed the phone back to her.
Quinn quickly looked at the text message he had sent and saw that Gavin replied with an 'On the plane now. Hope you have a great day." She rolled her grey eyes knowing that she would actually say something like that. Just as she was about to turn her phone off for the flight Jax had sent a text message back to her.
It will be a great day when you agree to have dinner with me ;)
Quinn showed the text to Gavin before shutting her phone off and sticking it in her backpack as the airplane began to start up for take off. She was definitely intrigued by the blonde haired man and had to admit that she was starting to like him more than just a neighbor. The truth was, she was expecting Jax to run for the hills once she had told him about David, and she was a little confused on why he didn't. Any other man wouldn't want to deal with a stalker who was a complete lunatic over her. It was the main reason that she was single at twenty-eight years old and had absolutely no love life once so ever.
Once the plane was in the air, Quinn wasted no time in laying her head on Gavin's shoulder once their seats were leaned back slightly and decided to catch up on some much needed sleep with her mind drifting to the handsome blue eyed man.
By the time Quinn and Gavin had made it to Cancun Mexico, Quinn had stripped her beanie and flannel shirt and shoved it into her backpack. Her long dark hair was in a messy bun at the top of her head and she was regretting the black shirt she wore with the sun beating down on her.
"I swear to God, I need the ocean in my life right now." Quinn whined as Gavin rolled his eyes as they walked into the large hotel to get their room keys.
"You need some fucking food." Gavin stated matter of factly knowing that Quinn was starving which was making her whine about the heat, "We will get changed into our swim suits and then head down for some food and then go to the beach." Gavin added as they dragged their suitcases behind them, "Don't forget to text lover boy." Gavin teased as he approached the counter for their key to the room.
Quinn rolled her eyes as she dug out her phone from her back pocket and unlocked the screen as she rested against the cool counter and pulled up Jax name in the text log.
Made it safely to the hotel. Going to eat and then becoming a beach bum until further notice.
Once Quinn had sent the message, she put her phone back into her pocket and watched as the clerk had explained how to get to their beach view room, and then followed Gavin through the lobby.
"This place is really nice." Quinn commented as she glanced around to the different Mexican art that was hanging on the walls as they walked towards their suite.
"It's definitely better than that last place we stayed at when we were here." Gavin commented as he checked the room numbers.
"What's the room number again?" Quinn questioned.
"108."
"It's at the end of the hall." Quinn stated and walked to the last door that was sort of seperated from the rest of the rooms and double checked the number on the door and then watched Gavin use the key to open the door.
When the two entered the large suite, Quinn was blown away by the massive view of the ocean from the large french doors that lead to the beach. She didn't even care to examine the rest of the room in that moment because the ocean was calling her name.
"I'll get changed first." Quinn stated quickly dropping her bags on the bed, "When I'm done can you put braids in my hair?" Quinn questioned feeling her hair stick to her skin.
"Yeah. I'll see what food is around here." Gavin commneted as she disappeared into the bathroom after rummaging through her bags.
Gavin took the time that Quinn was changing to put on his swim trunks and used his phone to look at the different restaurants near the hotel as he sat on the bed. He wasn't surprised that Quinn came out a few moments later with her long hair an absolute mess and a brush in hand along with two hair bands.
"There is a place down the beach. It's a bar and grill." Gavin commented as Quinn sat on the floor in front of him and handed him the brush and bands.
Quinn felt Gavin began to brush her messy hair and decided to see if Jax had text her back and smiled when she saw the familiar name pop on her screen with a text message telling her to send a lot of pictures, causing her to laugh a little.
As Quinn text Jax back and forth, Gavin had put her long hair into two french braids and then once he was done, he had grabbed two large towels while Quinn had made sure that she had film in her camera along with her wallet, hotel key, phone and sunglasses in her back pack, and then slipped on her flip flops and her sun dress to cover her black bikini and followed Gavin out the door.
Jax had been working non-stop since he had gotten to the garage earlier that morning. He had been chewed out by Clay for being on his phone a few times checking to see if Quinn had landed in Mexico safely. He had barely slept when he had went back to his house after kissing the brunette woman. It had his mind whirling the entire day, something he wasn't use to.
He had been in an overly good mood up until lunch but then it was slowly starting to disappear the moment Gavin had sent him a picture of Quinn sun bathing on a beach with her completely unaware of what he was doing. There was something unfamiliar growing in his stomach at the thought of her wearing such a skimpy bikini. He knew it was absurd to be jealous at the thought of other men staring at her but he couldn't control it. There was a part of him that thought it may have had to do with the protectiveness he felt after finding out what had happened to her, but the other part of him knew that he didn't want any man seeing the curves of her body.
"What's on your mind brother?" Opie questioned to his long time friend, seeing him smoking a cigarette on a picnic table.
"Nothing." Jax in a grumpy tone causing Opie to smirk.
"It have anything to do with a certain woman in Mexico right now?" Opie questioned as he sat down and lit up a cigarette of his own.
Jax breathed out some smoke then turned to his best friend, "Ever since I met her...I don't know what it is but I can't get her out of my head man." Jax confessed, "At first I thought it was just because she's hot as hell and would be fun having a hot neighbor, but then we started talking and it just...I don't even know man." Jax added with a frustrated sigh.
"You sleep with her?" Opie questioned honestly.
"Nah. It's not even about that anymore." Jax stated, "Her brother sent me a picture of her on the beach and it just set something off." Jax let out a laugh and shook his head.
"Man, don't tell Donna I said this, but she is attractive. If I were interested in her, I'd probably feel the same way if she walked around in anything close to what she was wearing the other day." Opie commented as he took a hit of his cigarette.
"How did you know it was more with Donna?" Jax questioned lowly as he pulled out his phone to see the Quinn had text him back from earlier.
"It's hard to explain brother. It's different with everyone. If I'm being honest, with the way you've been moping around about her, I think it might be more with you two." Opie answered honestly, "You want it to be more?" Opie questioned.
Jax thought for a few minutes before turning to his best friend, "I think so man." Jax answered, "There's one problem though." Jax added causing Opie to furrow his eyebrows in confusion, "She doesn't know about what the club does. What I do." Jax stated, "She's told me some shit about her past and I can't even be honest with her about it." Jax ran a hand down his face, "I just don't want her looking at me differently, there's no judgement in her eyes now. She doesn't know what I'm capable of." Jax added.
Opie ran a hand down his face, "That does seem like a problem. Jax, if you want something with her, you're going to have to sit down and tell her. If she finds out on her own, women don't like that shit."
"I know...I just figured I'd wait to see where it went first. There's no reason to bring it up if nothing comes from us hanging out." Jax added and then glanced to his phone and began typing out his text message back to Quinn.
Later that night, Jax had finally managed to walk through his front door. He was a little upset with himself because he had slept with an older crow eater in order to get a favor for the club. Then he had to get two dead bodies set up in Lodi to look like a murder to get forensic off of two dead bodies that David Hale had found at the blown up warehouse on the edge of town. As he was on his way back to Charming with Chibs, Juice and Half-Sack, he spotted a man who had cut him off as he was transferring the dead bodies to Lodi, which caused him to get pulled over. The entire thing turned into a huge mess and all he wanted to do was take a shower.
Once he had taken a shower, fell into bed and lit up a cigarette, he reached for his phone curious to see if Quinn was still awake. He knew that she had tried to call him earlier but he was wrapped up in trying to get his time with Emily Duncan over with. It usually didn't phase him to sleep with a woman or even a crow eater, but afterwards when he checked his phone to see a few photos from Quinn, his heart fell into his stomach.
Pushing the thought into the back of his mind, he had decided to try to FaceTime Quinn on his personal phone. After a few rings he had thought about hanging up but when the call began to connect, he sat up a little straighter in his bed.
"Well well well... is Jax Teller actually using modern technology?" Quinn teased with a laugh as she appeared on the screen.
"Hey, I've gotten use to seeing you almost everyday. I don't think I could go an entire 24 hours without seeing your face." Jax grinned when Gavin was cooing in the background and Quinn rolled her eyes dramatically.
"You always try to be charming?" Quinn questioned causing Jax to laugh.
"I have my moments." Jax replied, "How's Mexico so far?" Jax questioned.
"It's absolutely gorgeous. We spent the entire day on the beach, and then we went for dinner at this place on the beach. We were going to go site see but we got rained out." Quinn explained.
"You do look a little burnt." Jax commented seeing her cheeks a little red since her hair was pulled back in two braids.
"I know, I didn't put anything on my face. How was your day? Did the block blow up without me there?" Quinn joked causing Jax to smirk.
"No, the block is still intact." Jax chuckled when Quinn gasped dramatically with a hand on her heart, "You'll be glad to know that the mailman gave me the right mail this time. I did grab yours though. I figured it's the least I could do."
"Jax, if you wanted a reason to see her when she got back, all you had to do was just show up. No reason to collect the mail." Gavin stated in the background causing Jax to blush for a split second while Quinn grinned from ear to ear and tried to contain her laugh.
"Thanks for blowing my cover Gavin." Jax stated to the man he couldn't see and kept his blue eyes on Quinn's face, "So when do you actually come back?" Jax questioned.
"This coming weekend." Quinn replied, "Think you'll be okay without me until Saturday?" Quinn teased.
Jax frowned slightly not realizing that she was going to be gone for so long, "I think I can manage." Jax stated and tried to hold back a yawn.
Quinn frowned, "Jax, you look exhausted."
"Yeah, it's been a long day." Jax replied, "You look pretty tired yourself."
Quinn gave a nod, "You need to get some sleep Mr. Teller."
"Kicking me off the phone already?" Jax tried to laugh but a yawn escaped his mouth instead causing Quinn to laugh lightly.
"Yes, especially since you can barely speak without yawning. You can always talk to me tomorrow if you want." Quinn commented, "Have a good night Jax."
"You too Quinn."
Once Quinn had disconnected the call, she had plugged her phone into the charger and crawled into the large bed with Gavin as he tried to find something on TV to watch before they fell asleep for the night.
The brunette stretched out into the large bed, absolutely exhausted from traveling and then sitting out on the beach all day. She knew that she would sleep extremely well that night since they had planned on walking around the town the next day. Quinn had cuddled against her brothers shoulder as he played on his phone in order to upload a few pictures of their first day on vacation.
"He's totally into you..." Gavin commented lowly.
"You think so?" Quinn questioned quietly.
"There is no way a man would just get your mail in order to see you when you got back if he wasn't into you." Gavin explained, "I think you should give him a chance. I don't get weird vibes from him, and he's always been overly nice to you, and even me."
Quinn gave a small nod of her head as sleep began to take over, "I'm thinking about it."
