Little Toy Bikers and a Woman on the Run
Chapter 176 Recount
Jax looked Scarlett over and noticed that she didn't look like Gemma had given her a beat down. That was a good sign.
"Did you have a nice conversation with my mother?" Jax asked.
Scarlett grinned at him.
"Oh, yeah. She wanted to know if I could walk on my own."
Jax groaned.
"I told her I could. I said you have been very kind to me. She said you are kind to a lot of girls."
Jax remembered last night and he felt worse than he already did about spending the evening entertaining a couple of crow-eaters.
"Mothers, you don't want to live with them and it's against the law to kill them."
"You're an outlaw," Scarlett reminded him.
"Good point. Maybe Gemma ought to be worried."
Scarlett laughed.
"That's not all your mother told me. She told me not to break your heart or I would have to answer to her."
"I'll handle my mother."
"I asked her what about if you broke my heart. She said I was on my own."
"I didn't think you ever fell in love."
"I don't."
Jax could hear a note of uncertainty in her voice. He had been with too many girls to not see the signs. Whether she would admit it or not, Scarlett was starting to let him inside her heart.
"You're heart isn't as hard as you think."
"Wishful thinking on your side," she said with a smile.
"I think it's wishful thinking on your side."
For a moment, time stood still and Jax felt like they were all alone. He was fighting the urge to kiss her long and hard. He didn't like big displays of affection. He thought it made him look like a pussy.
He didn't have to fight temptation. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Tara making her way towards them. Great. Just great.
