Chapter 18- Are you happy?
"She did what?!"
"She busted Opie's truck windows." Kim told Jade again. Jade just sat there and looked at Kim for a second. Happy's aunt tugged at her shirt and repeated what Kim just told Jade just in case she did not hear it the second time.
Jade could not believe that skinny bitch would do something like that. She looked at each lady that came by for brunch at Jax's house. She had invited Happy's aunt, Opie's mom Mary, Kim's mom Lisa, Gemma and a couple other ladies she knew. They were all having a nice brunch and even getting a little buzz off mimosas until Kim spilled the news about Lyla damaging Opie's truck.
"I never did like that porn slut." Mary huffed.
"Mary don't say that. She is just hurt and does not know how to handle her anger right now." Kim told her. Jade shook her head. Kim was forever the psychiatrist and she was a good one woman who could not harm a fly. That would soon change with her dating someone in SAMCRO. Since being with Jax, Jade would have hunted that skinny bitch down to beat her ass. Jade knew it would be only a matter of time before Kim would become extra protective of Opie and would not standby and tolerate any bullshit from any woman.
"So what is Opie going to do about it?" Gemma asked. Kim shrugged her shoulders. She was not sure. Opie did not want to discuss the issue with her.
"Well darling….you need to make sure he handles her. The last thing you need is some crazed bitch making life hell for you and Opie. Ope deserves some happiness." Gemma told her. All the women there agreed with Gemma.
The front door open and Jax and Opie found the women sitting in the living. They all turned to look at them with slight annoyance cross their faces.
Jax lift up his hands.
"What?" he asked perplexed. "What did we do?" All the women shook their heads at the two men and went back talking amongst themselves.
"Jesus Christ! You would think we killed their best friend the way they are acting toward us." Jax said as he opened the fridge.
Opie grabbed a beer out the fridge and went back into the living room to wedge himself between his mom and Kim kissing them both on the cheek. Jade got up to check on the boys with Jax following her close on her heels. He watched at the door as Jade checked each of her children and gave them a kiss.
"You mad at me.?" He asked. Jade walked over to him and put her arms around his waist.
"No. I'm not mad Jax. What makes you think that?"She ran her fingers through his short hair.
"You ladies seem mad when me and Ope walked in. It looked like you were disgruntled about something."
"Oh….Kim was just relaying what happen at her parents' house with Lyla messing up Opes car. So you know the women had a few things to say and they are upset a little."
"Opie is going to take care if it babe." Jax assured her.
"I hope so. I don't like anyone hurting Kim. She is good for Ope."
Jax nodded his head in agreement.
After a few minutes Jax and Ope went into his garage to work on a motorcycle they were restoring. There was just too much estrogen in the living room.
Jax handed Opie a wrench.
"What are you going to do about the Lyla situation?"
"I already took care of it." Opie told him.
"How?" Opie looked at Jax without answering him.
"Alright man….if you said you handled…you handled it."
A few days later.
Leaving the kids with Gemma Jade went to visit Half-Sack.
Jade sat the flowers on top of Half-Sack's grave stone.
She thanked him for what he did to protect her and Abel. She always thanked Half-Sack when she visited his grave and found herself talking to him about different aspects of her life and she always told him how much Abel has grown. Jade was deep in her thoughts and did not hear Jax walk up to her.
"Mom said you might be here."
Jade looked at Jax face and could he was upset about something.
"Jax, honey what's wrong?" she asked as she caressed the side of his face. Jax took Jade's hand and interlock his fingers with hers and they walked slowly back to her car as he laid out to her his frustrations with Clay and what he has asked Jax to do. Clay wanted to start trafficking drugs for the Galindo Cartel. Jax was totally against the idea.
"But…I told him I would back him."
Jade leaned against her car and crossed her arms.
"Why on earth would you back him Jax?" Jax leaned down to place his forehead against Jade's.
"I'm doing this for my family." He told her. As always mesmerized by his lips Jade lifted her lips to his before getting a detailed answer. After a few seconds of kissing Jade pulled away to gather her thoughts.
"W…what do you mean for your family. I don't understand." Jax tugged at a few strands of her hair before answering.
"I told him I want out. All I thought about at Stockton was you and the boys. I don't want to raise them in this environment. I don't want to end up like Half-Sack." Jade embraced her man. She could not believe what she was hearing. He was going to leave the club for her and the boys. She never dreamed to ask him to give up such an important part of him and he here he was telling her he was leaving it all behind for her. Trying not to get emotional Jade hugged Jax harder and he chuckled at her tight embrace. Jax pulled from her embrace and lifted her chin so her eyes can meet his.
"Are you happy Jade? Do I make you happy?" Jade's eyes widen by his questions. Why would he ask that? Did he not know she would follow him anywhere, didn't he know that she loved him so much that she physically ached for him when he was not with her.
"Yes! Yes you make me happy. Jax… don't you know how much I love you?"
Jax shook his head.
"I know….I just want to make sure you are still happy with me as I am with you." Jax whispered to her. The man before Jade had to have been the most handsome man in Charming…at least to her he was and he could have any woman he wanted but here he was in front of her asking if he still made her happy. Kissing him again Jade thanked God for him over and over. She was the happiest and luckiest woman in the world.
