Clarity

A few days had past since Bobby's party, Lenny had spent most of her time at the garbage helping out and when she wasn't at the garage she was at Bobby's house with Jax seeing as they couldn't fool around in the clubhouse without everyone finding out. That suited Lenny just fine, she was feeling like she understood Jax a lot more seeing him away from the club, she knew he and the club were a package deal but Lenny couldn't deny she didn't enjoy seeing the more sensitive side to Jax Teller.

Moving around the garage Lenny had managed so far to avoid the childish game of "would you rather" that Half Sack and Juice had embarked on, the more she learnt of those two the more disturbed she became. Out on the forecourt Lenny was busy cleaning the spark plugs of a customers Chrysler when Juice jogged over to whisper in her ear about trouble at 2 o clock, wiping her hands on an oil rag Lenny threw it down and lowered the car bonnet so she could see what Juice was talking about. Heading in her direction she could see Tara walking up the forecourt and in her the corner of her eye she saw Gemma, Jax and Clay rush out of the office. Each with some different expression; Gemma wore a protective glare, Clay had look of amusement ready to watch the catfight unfold whilst Jax just looked worried as his mother stopped him in his tracks to stop what ever was about to unfold. Gemma figured this needed to happen, order needed to be restored.

"Can we help you, Tara?" Lenny sounded thoroughly bored as Tara stood before her. Some thing was different about her, she didn't seem to have as much aggression or judgement in her expression as Lenny was used to.

" I just want to talk to you Lenny," Tara cast a glance to their audience, " in private,"

Lenny shook her head and crossed her arms across her chest, "Tara, whatever you gotta say you can say here. I don't have any secrets from SAMCRO,"

Tara rolled her eyes, she couldn't believe how Lenny felt the way she did about the club she had always hated. Hated it for coming first in Jax's life, hated how her face never fitted and hated how it had suddenly chosen Lenny as its new poster girl. "That's really touching, but SAMCRO won't be around to watch for you forever, Lenny. You should watch who you trust round here,"

"If you have a point Tara, hurry up and make it, I've got a job to do,"

"I've been called back to Chicago, so I'm here to let you know you can have Jax, we've had some good night's since I've been back. Hope you don't mind sloppy seconds," Tara smiled a smug grin as Lenny took a deep breath to try and control her temper, even though all she wanted to do was smack Tara in that self righteous face of hers.

Lenny looked to Jax who shook his head at her, that was all she needed. " Oh Tara, sloppy seconds isn't my style babe but lucky for me Jax hasn't been anywhere near your cold twisted pussy since I came into town. He's had no need to, trust me," Lenny didn't care that she had just confirmed what most of the employees at Teller-Morrow had suspected about her and Jax, she just wanted to destroy Tara and the air of arrogance that followed her around.

Tara stepped up closer to Lenny and everyone else tensed knowing this wouldn't end well at all, " You think you're so tough Lenny, but you can't even see what's happening around you, you dumb bitch,"

Before Lenny had even thought she grabbed Tara by her ponytail and pulled her close so she could whisper in ear, "You should go before I do something I really regret,"

Gemma finally let Jax rush over to break it up, he stood beside Lenny as she let Tara go who was brushing her shirt down trying to compose herself.

"Just remember I warned you about who you trust Lenny," Tara turned on her heel and marched off to her car pulling away from the garage with her middle finger raised.

"What the hell was she talking about Jax?" Lenny turned to as she searched his eyes, Why should she worry about she trusted?

Jax pulled Lenny into a tight hug, he could see his mother's smile as he looked over Lenny's shoulder, he whispered in Lenny's ear how he had no idea what Tara was talking about before pulled her in for a kiss that left her breathless. They both laughed as the MC surrounded them cheered and whistles, Jax leant his forehead against Lenny's relishing on how close they were and how they weren't sneaking around before his mother's shrill voice cut through the moment ordering the audience back to work.

Right in that moment Lenny felt like a little girl in the playground who's crush had rushed to her side after taking in the school bullies, she loved how Jax had finally taken her side against Tara but she was amazed at how publicly he confirmed that they had been fooling around to every one in Teller-Morrow. As he pulled her into his side he let his hand dangle around her shoulder casually as they made their way over to Gemma and Clay, Gemma has a knowing grin plastered on her face as she hugged the pair.

"You kids just behave," she chided as Clay pulled her back into the office.

Once alone Lenny turned to face Jax with her hands in the back pocket of her jeans she looked up at him as he towered over her, " You think you can get the afternoon off?" She pouted as Jax grinned his boyish grin

"I think I can arrange something, you gonna make it worth my while though darling?" Lenny loved how playfully coy Jax could be and enjoyed the banter he offered, reaching up onto her tip toes Lenny placed a chaste kiss to his lips but pulled back quickly making her way to her car leaving Jax wanting more.

Before climbing into her truck Lenny shouted over to Jax " You have no idea just what I'm capable of Teller,"
