Author's Note: Sorry it's been awhile since the last update. -.- Here's a new chapter for ya.
I DO NOT OWN SONS OF ANARCHY OR THE CHARACTERS.
Chapter Seven:
"We both know that you didn't deserve Tara. Obviously, she knew that too. She left you when she had the chance. She was supposed to be with me, but we both know that." Alex explained with a sick smile.
"You're crazy." Jax said, shaking his head. Is this guy for real? He's been following me around like a lost puppy because he's shitty that his ex chose Jax? Can't he just write an angry letter or something? This has nothing to do with me. Nothing at all.
"Maybe so, but that doesn't change the fact that you don't deserve this little bird, either." Alex motioned to me. The fuck? 'Bird?' Really? What is he? 50?
"She doesn't concern you. Get to the point. My patience is wearing thin."
"I just wanted you to know that you have competition and eventually, I'll win her over." Alex taunted.
"The hell you will." I glared at him. I'm not a prize.
"Leave. Now." Jax threatened. "Or I'll be dragging you out."
"Bye… for now." Alex smirked as he walked away. What just happened? Was he for real? I turned to face Jax.
"We need to talk to Clay." I told him. He nodded and led me inside. I waited as Jax found Clay. We met him in Gemma's office.
"What happened?" Clay asked. Jax filled him in on everything. I don't really expect Clay to do anything, but he asked to be informed if anything else happened. I think this qualifies as something. The whole situation is nuts. I'm not worth being fought over… or whatever that was. Honestly, Alex just gives me the creeps. "Katie, you still have that gun Gemma gave you?" He asked. I nodded. "Good, start carrying it. I don't want him trying to pull something when we're not around. You need to be able to take care of yourself. Don't worry about it. It'll be handled. In the meantime, just keep an eye out. Don't do anything stupid." Clay walked out of the room.
What did he think I was going to do? Waltz around town naked with a billboard asking Alex to please screw me now? I shook my head.
"Hey mamacita, so I heard you've caught some unwanted attention." Juice teased as I finished working on a car.
"Laugh it up. Next time I'm gonna tell him you've got the hots for him. We'll see what he does with that information." I shot back. I'm not in the mood, right now.
"He really gets under your skin, doesn't he?" Juice slung an arm around my shoulder. I nodded.
"I don't know what it is. I've had my fill of creepers in my lifetime. I don't need any more. He should just take a hike."
"I feel ya. Hey, nobody messes with my Shorty. We've got your back, Thumbelina." He grinned. I elbowed him in the ribs.
"You're such an ass." I shook my head.
"Kate, I wanna talk to you a minute." Jax pulled me into the spare room at the club. I nodded.
"What is it?" I sat down on the bed.
"I'm sorry I dragged you into this mess."
"This isn't your fault. You didn't spoon feed him the crazy. That boy went and did that all on his own."
"I know, but I don't want you getting hurt over this."
"I'll be fine Jax." I kissed him, softly. He smirked. "I need to ask you this once, and then I'll leave it alone. I need a straight answer. What really happened between you guys? I have the vague outline, but I need specifics. I know you don't want me in this, but right now it's relevant."
"That's fair. He and Tara were together for about a year. They seemed to be fine. But, I carried a torch for Tara. It's not like I kept that a secret. We had history. Alex didn't like it. I don't know what caused it or how long it went on for, but he started to get controlling. It was awhile before people started to notice it. Eventually, Tara came to me. She was scared that he might do something. I told her how I felt about her and she ended things with him. But he wouldn't let it go. He'd show up at her work or at her friends' houses. We got into it and I straightened him out. He never fully left her alone, though. He'd still show up places he knew she would be, but he never did anything. She wanted a clean slate. Things were always tense between us so she left Charming and took the job in Chicago." He explained. I nodded.
That was both better and worse than I expected. From what he described, that's legitimate stalker material. Would he do the same thing now? I mean, it's been awhile since that happened.
"Jax, what are we gonna do?"
"The club will handle this."
"I'm not always with the club." What happens when he corners me and I'm alone? I mean, a few days ago, I was just trying to come to grips with my feelings for Jax. Now this?
"History won't repeat itself, Darlin'. I won't let it." He kissed me. I nodded. I really needed to hear that.
Author's Note: So, Alex really is a creeper. He steps up his game next chapter. Reviews are love.
Xo Xo,
