Here! Hope you enjoy!
Tara parked her Cutlass out in front of the local grocery store in Charming. A place where she left so much behind, not thinking about how she would feel about it later.
She had left what felt like the love of a lifetime behind her in this town. Well… She had left him in another town, but this was where he belonged. This was where she belonged.
Her heart stopped when she heard the too familiar rumble of just about any Harley. She turned around. Half hoping that it was him, half praying that it wasn't.
A flashy purple bike rolled down the street. One glance at it and she knew it wasn't any from SAMCRO riding it. All of the SONS she knew of swore to black bikes.
A smile touched her lips as she got lost in old times, riding around with Jax. Parking in places where people rarely were, making out under the starlit sky…
His rugged working hands, calloused by labor, combined with his gentle and careful touch. That was heaven to her. That hands so rough, could feel so sweet… It was magic.
She shook her head, clearing her mind of that one particular biker boy. The one with the pearly white grin, blue eyes full of love and the kiss that would capture your soul. She let out her breath, and stepped towards the entrance.
She would find Jax Teller, and tell him how much she regretted what she'd done.
SOASOASOA
She had been back in town for three days when she finally saw him.
His hair was a bit longer than when she last laid her eyes on him. His skin was tan and golden as always. His jeans was still four sizes too big, and his voice was even deeper than she remembered.
Oh… That voice!
She was coming out from the ladies room at the gas-mart when she saw him. He had his back towards her, he was paying for something at the register.
She saw his broad shoulders, and the straps from the sling securing his arm.
She didn't know what to do. Should she walk up to him and say hi? Or should she hide and hope not to be seen?
Whatever her brain might have given as an answer, it would have been for nothing…
She froze up, her legs wouldn't budge and all she could do was stand there. Stand there and wait to be noticed.
She heard him thank the cashier, put the change back in his pocket… She saw him starting to turn around, and all she could do was absolutely nothing.
SOASOASOA
Blue eyes met her hazels. She wanted to run away, and to grab a hold of him and kiss him all at once.
She saw him freaking out internally too. She noticed his left hand coming up to support his right arm. What had happened to him? You probably don't want to know… The frequent injuries was part of the reason why you left. Remember?
Her eyes darted down to the cast protecting his lower arm, then back up to his face. It felt like her heart was beating outside her chest. Like if her heart at any minute would burst out through her ribs and make a true mess.
Her knees weakened as she saw him lick his lips. One of his sub-conscious moves, but if she let herself trust it… She could bet that he hadn't gotten past her either…
"Tara…" his voice was suddenly filled with desperation and pain. Two things that she had hoped to never bring on to another person… Certainly not the person she loved the most…
"Jax…" she let his name linger on her lips. She was torn between running and stating bluntly how much she loved and missed him.
A soft smile tugged at his lips, even as pain filled his eyes. Why, oh why did Jackson Teller have to be so hard to read?
"You back in town?"
She nodded, "Yeah… at least for a while…"
She put her hands in her pockets and leaned heavier on one side than the other.
"Good," he gave her that picture perfect bad-boy-Romeo smirk of his, "Good to see you…"
His voice had dropped a few levels, and was now barely above a whisper.
"It's real good to see you too…" Couldn't she have come up with something a bit more original to say? She sounded like one of those soap-opera housewives…
Jax shifted his weight from one side to the other, but he didn't really move away from her… Nor did she move away from him…
SOASOASOA
Minutes passed as they stood there. Within kissing distance…
Jax felt his heart beating vigorously in his chest. He had to say something… This was starting to get awkward…
After a few too many seconds of silence, he finally found the nerves to whisper a loaded question to her. One that could change his future, no matter how small the question itself felt.
"So… Do you wanna grab a cup of coffee?"
Okay...
Yay or Nay?
Just imagine those rough hands caressing your curves. Taking their sweet time lingering on your hips...
I should probably stop right there... Before I utter another word...
