A/N: Thank you for sticking with this story. Also, thank you for taking the time to read this as well. This update won't be very long, it's so I can set up for the upcoming chapters.

Quinn couldn't help but to be excited as she got ready for her date with Jax. She had enjoyed his company, and had found herself missing the blonde haired man while she was in Cancun with Gavin. The brunettte had decided to take a nap earlier that day once Jax had left so she wasn't running on fumes while she spent time with him.

Since she wasn't sure where they were going to go eat, she had decided to stick with a casual outfit. Gavin had picked out a pair of black jeans that hugged her hips, and a white tank top and a black leather jacket with red high heels. Since she hadn't gone out on a date in quite some time, she had decided to put effort in her make-up and allowed Gavin to curl her hair into large curls.

"What time is he coming to get you?" Gavin questioned.

Quinn frowned for a moment, "He actually didn't say. Maybe I should text him to ask?" Quinn decided to reach for her phone to text the blonde.

Quinn knew that it was going on six in the evening and by the time six thirty rolled around and she didn't hear from Jax, she started to realize that she had gotten her hopes up about the entire thing. When it turned seven, Quinn had decided to call Jax in order to figure out what was going on and when he didn't answer, she realized that the date wasn't going to happen.

"Why don't you and I go out?" Gavin suggested, "I'm starving, your all dolled up. Might as well enjoy our vacation tans." Gavin added.

Quinn didn't even want to go out at that point, but she knew that if she didn't Gavin would make it a bigger deal than what it was, so she agreed. She had allowed Gavin time to shower and get changed, and before long, the two were heading out of the house and towards the car.

The brunette couldn't help but to keep glancing at her phone every so often as Gavin drove towards Oakland, and when she realized that she wasn't going to hear from Jax, she shoved her phone into her purse without a second thought.

"Who asks someone on a date and then not even bother to reply?" Quinn huffed with annoyance.

"I don't know, but he's on my shit list now." Gavin commented as he pulled into a bar and grill once they reached Oakland.

Quinn was thankful for Gavin because during their dinner, Gavin kept the conversation casual and about work, to keep her mind occupied. They both knew that Quinn didn't put herself out there much because of her past, and she was going out on a limb with Jax and that ended up back firing.

"God, that food was delicious." Quinn commented as they entering Charming after spending nearly three hours at the bar and grill.

"Tell me about it. I feel like I ate for a week straight." Gavin joked causing Quinn to laugh lightly.

"I'm dying to just lay in bed and watch a movie until I pass out." Quinn squirmed in her seat as Gavin pulled onto her road.

"I'm right there with ya." Gavin commented, "Wait, who is that?" Gavin questioned seeing a figure sitting on Quinn's front porch.

Quinn tensed for a moment and narrowed her eyes to get a better look, but as Gavin pulled into the driveway, the headlights were able to put some light on the figure and Quinn realized that it was Jax. She glanced towards the radio to see that the time was going on eleven thirty.

"Wow." Quinn couldn't help but to laugh.

"Has he even gotten ahold of you?" Gavin questioned.

"Nope." Quinn answered as Gavin turned the car off.

Quinn and Gavin both left the car and headed towards the front door, causing Jax Teller to stand up with an apologetic look on his face.

"I'm sorry." Jax stated as Quinn glanced to him and then walked past him to the front door to unlock it, "I ended up getting stuck at work longer than expected."

"I didn't realize a mechanic had to work until almost midnight." Gavin spoke up, rolling his eyes and moved into the house, leaving Quinn to walk in behind him but was stopped as Jax grabbed her wrist gently.

"Quinn..." Jax sighed, "I'm sorry, let me make it up to you, please."

Quinn looked at him for a moment, and she had to admit she wanted to cave but she decided to listen to her head, "Jax, I think it's a good idea that we stay neighbors. There's clearly more to your life than what your telling me, and that's fine, I get it but I'm not going to sit around and wait for a text or call that will never come." Quinn explained, "If you'll excuse me, I'm exhausted and would like to get some sleep."

Jax stood there shocked in silence as he watched Quinn disappear into the house and he didn't move his eyes until he heard the door being locked. He had tried like hell to get done with club business so he could take her out to dinner, but Clay had seemed to catch on to the fact that he had plans and stalled as long as possible. Jax didn't want to tell Quinn about the Sons of Anarchy just because of everything she had been through, he wanted her to know the man outside of the club first. He knew that he was going to figure out a way to make it up to Quinn, but he wasn't sure how difficult the task would be.

AN: Like I said, short chapter. But a small chapter is better than no chapter. What's your thoughts on Jax not getting back to Quinn in time for their date?
