Sorry if the chapter seems extremely short. But otherwise I hope you read and enjoy.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: Drama Queen & New Tattoo

Lacey stood with her back to the mirror, looking over her right shoulder at her reflection. Happy finished her new tattoo three hours ago. She smiled seeing the ink on the top of her back. The crow was between her shoulder blades with the wings going half way across them. It held a piece of parchment in its beak with the S.O.A reaper and Jackson Teller on it. The whole tattoo was highly detailed but not over done. Jax had been out for most of the day. She hadn't been able to show him it yet. She hoped he loved it as much as she did.

When she finished admiring her new tattoo, she got dressed into a sexy strapless black lace bra and panties set, a pair of leggings that looked like leather pants and black top with spaghetti straps that cut low at the back as well as the front so it wouldn't irritate her tender flesh. She left her hair down but pulled it to the side, over her shoulder wanting Jax's crow to be visible; she knew Johnny and Kyle were going to be at the SAMCRO party. Only a couple people knew she'd gotten marked with a crow telling everyone she belonged to Jax.

She was smiling confidently, walking out of Jax's dorm room. Her smile faltered when she saw Chibs with the first aid kit and Jax with blood on his shirt. She frowned. "What the hell happened?"

"It's nothing." Clay told her. Jax winced as the alcohol came in contact with his his skin as Chibs started cleaning up the graze.

"That doesn't look like nothing." She motioned to Jax's arm.

"Babe, it's only a scratch. I'm fine." Jax tried to reassure her as he took a swig from the bottle of tequila in his hand.

"That's not a fucking scratch." The graze covered almost all his shoulder and upper arm.

"Stop being a fucking drama queen, Lacey. He's fine." Clay growled at her.

She glared at the older man before she stormed over to the bar and ordered herself a drink. She could feel all three men's eyes on her back.

"Trouble in paradise?" Johnny asked handing her a bottle of beer, smirking.

"Go fuck yourself."

"I think of you when I do."

She gave him a disgusted look before she walked away and sat down at a table that wasn't near anyone. Maybe she was being a bit of a drama queen but she had the right to worry about Jax. He didn't tell her where he was going or what was happening today. She knew to some extent how dangerous things can get. It didn't help the worry she already felt when he didn't tell her anything.

"Is it dangerous for me to sit here?" Jax asked jokingly as he pulled a chair out and sat across from her.

She looked at him. "Only if you want to deal with a drama queen."

"Drama queen or not, you're still mine." He laughed. She stuck her tongue out at him. His smile turned into a hungry smirk. "Better watch that fuckin' tongue, someone might think it's an invitation."

She placed her bottle of beer on the table and stood up, walked over to him and held out one of her hands. With the smirk still on his face, he stood up and took her hand letting her lead him towards the back.

"You gonna tell me what happened?" Lacey asked as she pulled her jeans back on and done them up.

"Someone shot at us just as we got back in. I swerved and fell off my motorcycle," he said doing the same. She looked at him wide-eyed and was about to say something but he cut her off before she could. "which is worse off than I am. All I have is the few grazes you can see."

Lacey felt herself relax a little but not completely. Someone still shot at him and Clay. "Do you have any clue who did it?"

"Clay's trying to find out. I'm gonna help him."

She stood closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. His arms instantly went around her waist and held her closer. She stood on her tip toes and placed a gentle peck on his lips. "When you find them, beat the shit out of them for me."

He smirked. "I might just let you do it. It's a major turn on when you're being feisty."

"Can you go five minutes without thinking of your dick?"

"Not when it comes to you."

She jokingly glared, pulling back as she shoved a hand into his injured shoulder making him wince. "You're lucky I love you."

He pulled her back against him and dipped his head placing a soft kiss to her lips. They didn't have a lot of moments like this since he asked her to get his crow a week ago. He'd been busy helping Clay now Otto was being incarcerated. Lacey was busy working in the Teller-Morrow office while Gemma was consoling Luann who was trying to be as strong as she could be with her husband on trial for gun running and trafficking and a few other charges that would be keeping him there for a long while.

He broke the kiss smiling. "I love you too."

She smiled back at him. That was the third time they'd said 'I love you' to each other. She wasn't one of those girls who needed to hear her man say 'I love you' all the time. Jax always showed his love in different ways. The way he kissed her, the way he looked at her when they were together intimately, and the way he held her were just a few of those ways. Hell, he even killed a man for her. She knew he loved her and he knew she loved him just as much.

"Let's get back out there before someone remembers there's an actual bathroom where they can piss."

They walked out of the bathroom with her arm arms around his waist and his good arm across her shoulders. He leaned his head down slightly so he could talk to her only loud enough for her to hear. "Just so you know, I love your new tattoo."

She grinned kissing him once again.

Sorry about this little rant but I felt like I needed to explain myself to the 'guest' reviewer. If they weren't using the guest then I would have messaged them. You can just ignore it - I like thanking people for the reviews. If I get less than five or six I like to mention them to give them a shout out. When I do ask for reviews I'm having a bad day. All I need is a little reassurance. One review with a simple 'good chapter' makes my day a lot better. I actually appreciate the reviews I get. I don't ask people how to make my story better just to get reviews. I have my stories planned out but I like hearing what my readers would like to see. They don't have to put it in a review, they can personally message me. If it will fit in with the story I'll add it in. I wasn't expecting 100 followers so sorry if I wanted to brag a little. I love knowing this story is doing better than I thought it would.
