I don't know why but I'm having a hard time finding it in me to write this, I have so many ideas but lately it's taken a lot for me to work on this. But don't worry I won't be giving up on it anytime soon. Enjoy their first date. -Lanie x

Tara held on tight as they started to ride away from her house. It dawned on her that she had no idea where they were going still. For all she knew he could be taking her outside of town to kill her and bury her body. It made her realize that she would go anywhere with him, as long as he gave her that look.

Once she realized that they were outside of Charming, Tara tried to think of all possibilities of where they could be going. When they got the café it was a place that she recognized and felt a little more at ease.

Getting off of the bike she handed him the helmet and fixed her hair.

"Didn't want to be seen with me in charming?" She asked as a joke.

"It's to keep watchful eyes away."

"Oh so Gemma would spy on us?" Tara asked with a laugh.

They made their way to the door and he opened it and let her and whispered in her ear as she walked past him.

"I wouldn't be surprised if she is now." He walked in after her.

After they sat down, Jax looked at her nervously. It was easy for her to realize that he wasn't sure about what to do on a date. He shouldn't be nervous around her though.

"Breathing is necessary." She reminded him.

She watched as he released a breath and she raised her eyebrow.

"Where's my cocky asshole?"

"He's hiding, your cocky asshole isn't used to doing this." Jax looked at her and shrugged.

"This is my first date too, remember? Anyways it's just me." Tara smiled at him.

Jax nodded and smiled back. "I hope you realize how special you are..." He told her as he picked up the menu and started to look through the options.

Once she was sure that he was okay, she did the same thing and picked up the menu as well. Tara smiled to herself because she did know that she meant a lot to Jax it was clear. He acted so different around her.

"Do you know what you're getting?" He asked her

After they ordered, Jax looked over at her and smiled. Feeling his eyes on her, she looked up and smiled back. Everything seemed to be easier now that they've realized that they're still the same people.

"I don't know why I was so worried..." He admitted to her sheepishly.

"I thought it was cute." She told him.

"I'm not supposed to be cute."

"Oops sorry big bad scary biker." Tara rolled her eyes and and took a drink of the coke that was placed in front of her.

"That's more like it." He smirked.

"Newsflash you don't scare me Jackson." She leaned her head on her hands.

"I don't want you to ever feel afraid of me." He told her honestly.

"I won't be." Tara smiled at him. "Not now, not ever."

"I don't deserve someone as great as you." He frowned at her.

"Just because of how you were raised doesn't mean you don't deserve me. It's what you know. Just like the only life I know is an alcoholic, single parent."

"You'll be different though." He shrugged.

"Who is to say that you have to be like your parents. Maybe you'll do something greater than they could have ever dreamed of. Don't sell yourself short, baby."

Tara didn't want to believe that Jax was going to be stuck in Charming forever, stuck in the club forever. There was going to be a way out someday, she just wanted him to believe that. She watched him shrug and she knew that it was time to change the subject or their night wasn't going to be very interesting.

"So I have an idea. Why don't we just talk about stuff that neither of us really know about each other yet." She could sense the hesitation in his eyes. "It doesn't have to be serious stuff. Like you don't know that my favorite movie is Grease." She smiled at him softly.

His eyes widened. "You've got to be kidding me.."

She shook her head and smiled at the fact that her plan seemed to be working. He was getting more comfortable and becoming the Jackson she knew.

"Nope. I like musicals." She shrugged.

"I don't think we can be together now."

Tara gasped, crossing her arms, she shot him a glare.

"I don't have a favorite movie... Not that I can think of anyways."

They continued to talk about random things and they found out more that they didn't really know once before. Once their food was brought to them they eat and still talked to each other.

"My dad was horrible at teaching me to ride my bicycle without training wheels.."

"Really? Did you have a bad crash?" He asked with a smile.

"It was terrible." She nodded.

"Where's the story?" He pried.

"You really want to know?" Tara smiled.

"Yes." He stated.

"I crashed the bike and landed all twisted up. My knee was all bloody and out of place."

"I've done something similar with my shoulder. Mine wasn't all bloody though."

"It was bad. Going to the hospital and watching them take care of it is what made me want to be a doctor. Take away others pain like they did mine." She explained.

"At least one of us is going to make something of ourselves." He looked at the table.

She reached around and grabbed his hand and squeezed it. She watched as he looked back up at her. Tara wasn't going to let it going back down this path.

"You're going to do great things Jax, I believe in you more than anyone else." She smiled.

"Great things as a Mechanic?" He laughed. "Thanks for the support knowles."

"What's the grossest thing you've done as a prospect?" She asked to change the subject.

"You want to know? Over dinner?" Jax shook his head.

"I promise I won't puke all over." She smiled. "Come on it's only fair after I don't you about my knee!"

"The bathroom in the clubhouse overflows at least once a week?"

"Wait are you serious?" She raised her eyebrow in disbelief. Tara figured that there had to be something bigger than that. Though she realized he might have told her that because she can't know how things are for the Mc.

"I swear that they stick things in there for Ope and I to clean when it overflows. Sick shit." He smiled.

"Do I even want to know?" She laughed a little and took a bite of her food.

"With food in your mouth? No."

Tara laughed and nodded.

Once they were finished he paid for their food and walked back outside with her.

"I don't want to go home yet." She told him.

He looked down at her as they were walking hand in hand.

"Where do you wanna go?" Jax asked as he led her back to the bike.

"I don't care as long as I'm with you." She smiled sweetly at him.

"That's a lot of trust."

Tara simply shrugged and looked at the bike.

"I'd trust you with my life, Jackson…" She said softly.

"I would never let anything hurt you. Ever." Jax smiled at her and tossed her the helmet. "I think I have the perfect spot to take you."

In response she put the helmet on and climbed on after him, not even caring about trying to gracefully get on the bike. She heard the roar of the engine and they were off.

All she knew is that they were on their way back to Charming when he turned up and went to one of the viewpoints. She'd only been up here in the daylight.

He stood up once he killed the engine and laughed as she tried to get off with a dress on. Jax walked up to the short wall and looked over Charming. He turned and held out his hand and she walked over and wrapped her arms around his waist as she looked at the lights.

"It's so beautiful." She mumbled.

Jax looked down at her and smiled. "Yeah, it is."

Tara leaned up and gave him a kiss before he was pulling her back to the bike. He climbed onto the bike and had her climb onto the front and he wrapped his arms around her.

"You should teach me to drive this." She smiled as she turned her head to look at him.

"Nice try. I don't ride bitch." He told her.

"For me?" She asked.

"Maybe someday, when I trust you more. After all you just told me about your bicycle accident."

She laughed and they both stayed quiet for a while they just wanted to enjoy being with each other.

"Did you have a good night baby?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around her tighter.

She let out a little sigh and leaned her head back against his chest.

"Tonight was perfect." She told him.

"I'm glad." He chuckled.

Tara turned her head to look up at him.

"Who knew that Jax Teller was such a romantic?" She teased him.

"I had some help." He shrugged.

Tara kissed his jaw in response before turning back to look over at the city. There was something about looking at the city lights that made it such a beautiful place despite how messed up Charming really was. Things like these made her want to stay.

"I like it up here." She said absentmindedly.

"I'll keep that in mind." Jax told her and kissed her head. "Because I like it here too.

"Could we get arrested for being up here?" She asked him, turning to look at him.

She heard him laugh and could only make out some of his features as it grew darker outside.

"They'd probably just tell us to leave but I doubt any cops would be all the way out here." He explained.

She nodded. "Good. I don't need to ride in a cop car ever again."

Jax looked down at her and turned her head toward his and looked at her in disbelief.

"Innocent Tara Knowles got to ride in a cop car?" The curiosity was clear in his voice.

"Yeah but it's not as bad as you're thinking...my Dad and I got in a fight and one of the county sheriffs found me at my Mom's grave in the middle of the night." Tara told him with a shrug.

"I know how that is. I find myself at my old man's stone a lot." He told her softly.

"We've never talked about him or-"

Tara could tell by the look on his face that she shouldn't say the next name. He also tensed against her so she knew that what she said was too far.

"You don't talk about your mother." He whispered before looking over at charming.

The two fell into silence after that. They both had a hard time opening up about those dark times in their lives. Eventually they'd need to but for now keeping that to themselves was protecting themselves.

"What time is it?"

"Almost 11." He sighed into her hair. "Time to get my girl home. Hop off."

She did as she was told and once he slid into his spot she moved around and climbed back onto the back, with the helmet strapped her head.

Before she knew it they were off, the cold air chilled her legs but she knew soon enough she'd be warm in her bed. Seeing the house, she let out a sigh. She didn't want their perfect night to end even if she knew it had to.

He parked next the cutlass and got off before helping her get off this time. Tara held his hand as he walked her to the front door. Once they were there, she wrapped her arms around his waist and he held her tightly to him.

"Don't worry, I'll see you tomorrow." He told her kissing her head.

"I know. Thanks for tonight, I really enjoyed it." She said.

She pulled away and leaned up, Jax meeting her halfway, they kissed goodnight before they both recently parted. Tara opened the door and started to walk inside when she turned and smiled at him.

"Night Jackson."
