I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has reviewed and added this story. :D It definitely is motivational and makes a person feel good. I'd like to clear up that even though this story is set before SOA, it's up-to-date in time period, meaning it's 2012. Also, I shall apologize for my lengthy response time. I have had a lot of private things going on in my life, and I have not found the time nor the motivation to write. Hopefully, my updates will be more frequent.

Rated M for everything. I also forgot to mention that all SOA characters and settings belong to Fox.

Chapter 2

Like a Girl

Click. Click. Adrian sighed as she started up her aunt's computer. "That's the next thing I replace," Josephina had said about the old computer. As the desktop booted up, Adrian's mind drifted back to Jax and their kiss. She couldn't believe how quickly they had reunited, and how intense it had been. She sighed, thinking about what had happened in the bedroom. Even though she had wanted to kiss him, she couldn't really believe that she had done it. She didn't even know Jax. Maybe it was the young Jax, the thirteen year old Jax, that she was in love with which was why she had reacted the way she had. Jax was explainable. What about Adrian?

It seemed Jax had really grown up since Adrian had left as well. She still remembered him hitting puberty and being socially awkward around girls. Except Adrian. He had always been comfortable around her and vise versa. Maybe that's why she had kissed him. She was comfortable with the young Jax, and blissfully unaware of the new Jax. Deep down, she was clinging to her memories. She needed to make new memories. She needed to get to know the new Jax. A memory of Jax making fun of Adrian by saying she was more like a boy than anything made Adrian chuckle.

"I bet he doesn't think that now," she said softly to herself. She opened the web browser, checked her bank account, and then signed out. She had enough to last her a while so she didn't need to hurry to get a job, although she planned on getting a part time somewhere. Adrian went into the kitchen to grab her keys and purse where she had left them. Josephina had left just a few minutes after Jax had left to run some errands. Adrian doubled check to make sure she had the house key and headed to her car parked out on the street. She looked over in Jax's driveway, but he had already left. Wendy's blue car was still gone as well. Adrian began to think about Jax's relationship with Wendy. As much as Adrian wanted Jax, she wasn't going to mess up a relationship. However, Wendy had to know that there isn't just one girl in a relationship when it comes to a motorcycle gang. Adrian sighed as she got into her car and drove off towards town.

After being anxious the whole drive to Charming, it was nice to feel welcomed, Adrian thought. She had been worried about what Charming would do to her mentally. So far, she felt great. Empowered. Sexy. How could she not? Adrian glanced to the dashboard clock. It was 12:35 pm. She had plenty of time to shop, take a shower, get dolled up, and even grab a bite to eat before Jax picked her up. Adrian pulled up to a promising boutique. Checking her phone, she saw she had one missed call from an old boyfriend in Texas. Adrian cleared out the notification, and then got out of her car. She walked up to the boutique, pausing to look at the outfits in the window. They were pretty cute. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a big black Cadillac pull up. Gemma got out of the Cadillac and headed across the street to the drug store. She was exactly the same as Adrian remembered her.

Adrian walked into the boutique and began to browse casually through the clothes. She tossed a few really cute tops over her shoulder, found the top she wanted to wear tonight, and then picked out a couple pairs of jeans. She grabbed some daisy dukes, and then she picked out a couple pairs of shoes, all assorted styles. Adrian paid for her things, put the bags in the car, and then paused at her car, leaning on the hood. She dug out her pack of cigarettes from her purse. She wasn't a heavy smoker or anything. Just something she did whenever she was bored. Lighting a cigarette, she took a long drag.. The smoke filled her lungs in a pleasant sensation. Just as she was exhaling, a very familiar female voice asked,"can I bum a smoke?" Adrian looked to her left and wasn't surprised to see Gemma standing there, a cocky smile on her face, her tits about falling out. Adrian smiled back, handing Gemma a cigarette and lighting it for her.

"Thanks, Adrian."

"You remember me," Adrian asked, still smiling.

"Of course. You look just like your mom but ten times as beautiful. What's brought you back to Charming?"

"My aunt asked me to move in with her."

"Oh yeah. She's been fixing up your old place next to Jax's right?"

Adrian nodded. "Yeah. She bought it from my dad and has been updating it."

"I saw that. Looks nice. You run into Jax yet?"

Adrian thought for a quick moment about whether or not it would be okay if she said she had already seen Jax and more than that. She finally decided that it wouldn't hurt, couldn't hurt. "Yeah. He pulled up his driveway when I first got her. It was nice seeing him again."

"Attractive little bastard, isn't he?"

Adrian couldn't decide this was a test or not, but hell. Gemma would see Adrian at the party tonight with Jax anyhow. "Yeah. He got the best out of you," Adrian said with a wink. Gemma studied her face for a moment and then leaned over to give her a hug. She cupped Adrian's face.

"It's nice to have you home, honey." She then kissed Adrian on the lips. It didn't bother Adrian one bit because she knew that was how Gemma showed true affection. Gemma smiled at Adrian and then walked off. "You should come by the garage tonight. We're having a party."

"Will do," Adrian called.

After Gemma had gotten into her Cadillac and drove off, Adrian checked her phone. Another missed called from the same ex as well as a text. Adrian. Why aren't u answering ur phone? R u alright? Call me. ;D. Adrian sighed and replied: I'm fine. I'm busy. I'll call u tomorrow or something. Adrian pressed send and then put her phone away. She decided to walk two store fronts down and get her hair done. She wanted to look amazing.

~{Later That Evening}~

Adrian turned in front of the full body mirror behind her door. She felt so...desirable. Her hair had been curled into beautiful ringlets. She had gotten her makeup done in a dark, smokey shade that really made her green eyes pop. Her top was black, leather, and barely classified as clothing. It was a tiny vest that started in the middle of her cleavage and ended maybe three inches afterwords. She was wearing some tiny shorts that just barely covered her ass. She knew she looked easy. She knew she looked slutty, but hell. She was going to a MC party. It was practically mandatory. She was wearing some fashionable boots that vaguely resembled combat boots, but were heels. She wore a silver cross that stopped just above her breasts with a match naval ring. She wore no earrings because her long hair hid them from any view.

Adrian smiled at the reflection in the mirror. Seeing herself dressed so scantily for a man she had dreamed about for years boosted her confidence, oddly enough. To have the satisfaction of having a fantasy come true was ultimate fulfillment for the time being. Adrian had been put down since leaving Charming. Her mother's death had really broken the family, and very little good times had come since. This evening seemed to be finally breaking the cycle of shitty things that Adrian dealt with on a day to day basis.

The roar of a motorcycle broke Adrian from her thoughts. Her stomach twisted up into a nervous knot, and her breath caught up into her throat. It was time for her to make her splendid appearance. She could only imagine his reaction. It was delicious. Adrian grabbed her cellphone and keys and began to head towards the front door. The motorcycle was still grumbling outside whenever Jax knocked on the door. A grin spread on Adrian's painted lips. How could it not? She felt like a child at Christmas, the door being her present to open. She suppressed herself from simply throwing the door open, but she came pretty damn close. Jax stood there, wearing the same thing he had before: a large white t-shirt, baggy jeans with frays and grease stains, and his leather cut. He had a cigarette in his mouth whenever she opened the door, and he quickly dropped the butt to stomp it out with his boot. He looked her up and down, slowly blowing the smoke out the corner of his mouth.

"Damn it," he said slowly, his eyes basically fucking her. Adrian leaned in the doorway. "You like?" she asked in a seductive purred. Jax answered with another look at her body. "Well, let's get going." He held up a simple black helmet. Adrian eyed it for a moment. "Safety first," he said with a chuckle. Adrian let out a playful sigh and took the helmet. As they walked to the bike and Adrian equipped the helmet, she could not keep herself from glancing at Jax's driveway, looking for the blue car. It was empty, and Adrian felt a small wave of satisfaction. She was Jax's girl tonight. Jax sat on the bike, buckling his helmet and Adrian climbed on. The motorcycle vibrated between her legs, adding to her libido. She let out a very soft, very subtle moan. Jax must have heard it because he let out a chuckle. Adrian decided to play it off by wrapping her arms low on his belly, just shy of his waist. He relaxed a little against her, and then began to back them out of the driveway.

"You ready?" He asked, and Adrian nodded. He then took off and Adrian squeezed him tighter. She hadn't wanted to say anything, but this was her first ride on a motorcycle. The roar of the motor and the pressure of the wind hurt her ears a little, but it was all exhilirating at the same time. Adrian leaned away from Jax, letting the wind whip in her face. Her hair flew out behind her in an ebony mane and she could only imagined how splendid it looked. Being on the motorcycle with Jax, Adrian had never felt so free. She could almost believe she could just ride forever on this bike, and it would never bother her. It was an erotic feeling in a way, tricking Adrian into a feeling of upheria. If riding the motorcycle was this amazing, she wondered what riding the biker would be like.

Once again, I apologize for the lengthy wait and short chapter. The next one will be them arriving at the party.
