Say You Love Me

Chapter 3

This god damn alarm starts blaring at 6:30 in the morning, I roll over and realize that I probably shouldn't have stayed up late since I had to get up early. I walked across the hall to Stephanie's room to get her up and ready for the day; of course she was still passed out. I flipped the light on and that got her attention.

"HEY! WHAT'S GOING ON?!" she yelled as she sat up in bed with a start.

"Nothing, Mom isn't going to be back until god knows when and I have to get you fed and dropped off at school so up and at em' missy!" I told her.

"Okay, Okay I'm going." she responded as I walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

I had to actually put in an effort to look half decent today since I was headed right to Jax's place after school. It wasn't going to be too hot today, so I immediately decided to wear the best pair of jeans I had. Running my hands over the tops that I had hanging in my closet, I stopped on my cream colored blouse that showed a tiny amount of cleavage and had a cream colored lace over the entire thing. Denim jacket that was on the back of my chair and my shoes that were already downstairs and I was good to go. I threw my hair up in a messy bun then ran through the bottom drawer to find my mint green bikini and threw that in an extra bag I had lying around. I walked to the hall closet to grab a towel, threw that in my bag as well then headed downstairs with all my shit to make breakfast. I thought about painting the kitchen a mint green color since the backsplash already had splashes of green, silver and black to go with the black appliances, but I'd have to run that by mom first. Opening the fridge I decided that scrambled eggs, toast and melon would do.

I was just fixing Steph's plate when she sat down at the kitchen table.

"Do you want milk or juice Steph?"

"I'll grab the milk Shay, you can grab your breakfast too," she told me.

I fixed myself a plate as I was loading up the dishwasher. As soon as I sat down was when Steph started to question me.

"So who was making you laugh so much last night?" Steph asked with a huge smile on her face.

The little shit, she was supposed to be sleeping! I could feel my face pale as I stuffed another bite of breakfast into my mouth.

"I got up to pee in the middle of the night and heard you laughing….Is it a boy Shay? Oh, what's his name?! Is he your boyfriend? Can I meet him?" she threw out question after question.

"Put your breakfast dishes in the dishwasher when you are finished. Yes it was a guy Stephanie and please what ever you do don't tell mom. PLEASE!?" I begged her.

She nodded her head as she put her dishes away then headed upstairs to get her school bag; mumbling something about 'as long as I get to meet him before mom does'. Well damn, I'll have to ask Jax about that one. I fished my truck keys out of my book bag and started the dishwasher. Steph was coming back down all ready to go so I slipped my shoes on and headed to drop her off at school.

"Have a good day, Mom said that she would be picking you up later so be on the look out for her."

"And the boyfriend?"

"God damn it Steph! I'll ask Jax about it when I see him okay?"

She starts laughing as she gets out of the truck,

"Jax? What a cute name. He sounds cute, you guys should have babies I know they would be cute."

"Umm…yeah bye Stephanie."

I drove off to Charming High School and counted the hours until I could get the hell out of here.

END OF SCHOOL DAY

Thank God for teachers! No homework, nothing to worry about, I'm free for the rest of the day. I called my mom as soon as the bell rang to make sure she would be able to still get Steph from school. Nothing had changed, so I relaxed a little. I pull my makeup bag out when I get to my truck and throw on some waterproof eyeliner, mascara, and throw some chapstick on while I'm at it. I redo my bun so that it's perfectly centered on my head. I plug in Jax's address on my GPS and start the ride over to his house. It was about 15 minutes later before I pulled into Jax driveway next to his bike. I hide my book bag in the back seat, grab my other bag with my extra clothes and swim suit in it and head towards the front door. Jax's house looked a lot like mine on the outside, with nice green bushes in front of a window that I assumed looked into the living room. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Before Jax had a chance to open the door, I checked myself to make sure my outfit was still decent. Just as I had finished going over myself, the front door opened and I got to drink him in all over again. Jax was in a white wife beater and dark blue jeans with no shoes on, as I looked back up to his face I realized that his eyes had gotten a shade darker. Possibly because he was ogling me as well.

"Hey Bear, come on in," he moved to the side of the door to allow me to pass him. I decided on the way over here that I was going to tease him. Hell, my seventeenth birthday was next month but Jax didn't know that. As I walked passed him, I walked closer than necessary so that my chest would rub against his just a little bit.

"Hi Jackson" I said with a smirk on my face. His front door lead right into his living room, which I was happy to see, was painted blue. There was a matching leather couch and love seats with a nice flat screen TV. Pictures of his family I assumed were up on the walls. There was a screen door lead right out to the pool. The kitchen was to my left. I peaked my head it and it was painted yellow with brown and tan accents.

"It feels so homey in here Jax, you have a beautiful home," I told him as he shut the front door and I put my bag one of the loveseats.

"Thank you. Although most of it is my mother's doing, the place would probably look like a dump without her. I grabbed steaks for dinner, I figured you'd be alright with that." Jax told me

"Steak sounds great," I looked at him and smiled.

Jackson looked at me like I was a breath of fresh air, and then checked me out as I turned around and looked out towards the pool.

"Oh, Jackson, you have a Jacuzzi! Can we get in?" I half turned around only to see that he was right behind me. Jax put his hands on my hips and took a deep breath.

"I was hoping to avoid the Jacuzzi and just head straight to the pool, Bear."

"Why, what's wrong with it?"

"That's not gonna help with the whole 'behave' thing."

"We don't have to behave all the time Jackson…" I tell him as I grind my ass into him a little bit then turn my head to put a peck on his cheek. I turn around in his arms as his hands mysteriously end up on the top of my ass. I stand on my tiptoes and whisper,

"I'm going to go put my suit on and I'm getting in. You'll be just fine Jax"

I pull myself away from him; grab my bag and head down the end of the hall where I assume the bathroom was.

"It's the door straight ahead of you. By the way, when is your birthday Shay?" Jax asks me as I enter the bathroom.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" I reply with a wink and shut the door to change.

As I hurry to get my suit on I hear Jax mumbling to himself, 'Holy Shit I'm so gonna get her back for this'.

Bring it on, Teller.

I decided on just leaving my clothes in the bathroom, and walked back out to the Jacuzzi. I almost reach the damn thing before I feel nice warm arms around me. Next thing I know, I'm in the pool with Jax laughing his ass off while swimming away from me.

"Jackson Teller! This IS NOT a Jacuzzi!" I yell at him.

"Oh first and last name now? Am I in trouble? Are you gonna spank me?" Jax asks still laughing at me.

"Oh, don't tempt me Jackson," I say with a wink and dunk my head under water.

When I pop back up, Jackson is still in the same spot. I start to tread water as he tilts his head and watches me.

"Come over here Shay," he says. I swim over and stop right in front of him. He grabs me by the hips, my legs immediately wrap around his waist, my arms around his neck and we just float in the middle of the pool.

"We should play a game or something? Ya know? To get to know each other," I suggested. That seemed to bring him out of the trance he was in.

"What game did you have in mind, darlin'?"

"Twenty questions? Truth or Dare? You can pick."

"Let's save truth or dare until after dinner shall we? Twenty questions it is. You can go first, Bear," Jax told me. His response prompted my first question.

"Why do you call me 'Bear'?" I asked him. Not because I minded being called 'Bear' I was honestly just curious.

"Don't laugh, but I was at the mall a few years ago shopping for a gift for my best friend Opie's kid. I was in some teddy bear shop and I thought it was kind of cool that you could pick what you wanted your bear to look like, dress like, eye color, personality and all that shit. I was planning to make him a SAMCRO bear but there was a bear on display up at the front of the store. It was a nice looking brown bear, with green eyes and it looked really soft. I wanted that bear for Kenny, I already had the SAMCRO jacket ready and everything. Anyway, I went to go grab the damn thing and this cranky ass associate told me I couldn't have it because it was 'part of a display'. I wanted that bear and I couldn't have it at a time when I knew it would help the situation that was going on. I want you Shay, just like I wanted that bear for Kenny. I can already tell that you are everything I need but I can't have you. At least not right now."

"Wow Jackson, I don't know what to say except that you can have as much of me as long as it doesn't get you into trouble," I was literally speechless as he kept us afloat in the pool.

"I'm always in trouble. Hell my middle name should be trouble. You are like a breath of fresh air. A lot of bad shit has happened to me over the past few years. As soon as I saw you in the parlor with those green eyes of yours, I knew I was fucked." Jax said laughing. I started cracking up along with him.

"It's your turn to ask me a question now Jax," I was mentally preparing myself for whatever embarrassing question was about to fly out of his mouth. He dropped his hands down to my ass, squeezes it and pulls me closer so that his mouth is right by my ear and I swear he grinded on me for a second.

"Shay…" he starts off in that deep voice that I believe he knows drives me insane.

"Yeah," I whisper.

"When is your birthday Babe?" he puts the bottom of my earlobe in his mouth as he asks me that.

I moan and answer him at the same time.

"November 14th Jax."

"Babe, that's only a few weeks away. Why wouldn't you tell me that earlier?" he asks smirking at me.

" I don't know, I didn't want to I guess," I tell him.

"Well you know what's going to happen on November 14th now?"

I sit back in his lap so I can actually look up at him.

"What? You gonna give me seventeen birthday spankings?" I ask laughing.

Jax stops swimming around in circles and heads toward the shallow end of the pool.

"That too," my eyes widened.

"Oh don't worry, I'll make sure you'll like it but guess what happens after the spankings?" he asks me.

"Um...I don't know, you feed me cake?" I'm so confused at this point but I have a feeling I know where this is going.

"No Darlin', November 14th after your spankings…your ass… is... mine," he whispers in my ear and kisses the side of my mouth as goosebumbs breakout all over my body and he sets me down on the edge of the pool.

"I gotta get the grill going if we are going to eat at a decent time," he tells me.

"Do you need any help?"

"Can you cook, Bear?!" he asks me

"Yeah, I can. What do you need done in the kitchen?" I ask as I walk by Jax.

'Good God, what have I done to deserve this woman' I hear Jackson whisper as I pull a coke out of the fridge.

NOTE

I apologize in advance for any typos/mistakes I re read every chapter three times and sometimes they just slip on by. Autocorrect is an asshole and sometimes changes words on my laptop -_-

An anonymous review suggested that Shay tease Jax a lot. Don't worry she will but now that Jax knows when her birthday is, he's probably going to start teasing as well. The story is set in the fall BTW simply because I love fall. I love when Jax is actually happy in SOA. Hopefully I can keep him that way in the story. At least until I introduce Gemma into the story, we all know she doesn't like anybody.
