Chapter 6: Step back and watch.
A couple weeks had passed and Reenie was living in her own apartment and started teaching. She absolutely loved every single second of it. She loved seeing all those young mind sucking up the knowledge she was so willing to give. Today however she was a day from hell. She slept through her alarm and was late to school. It was one of the hottest days in Charming and the air conditioning was broken. Nothing not even the every open window helped as there was not breeze to take them out of their misery. She wiped her brow and looked at the clock and sighed in a relief. Only five minutes left until class ended and she could get out of this heat into the cool clubhouse. She had not spoken much to Jax since last time but that was good. She was letting him go. She had to. He was not willing to risk the club for her and that was fine by her. Even if it hurt like hell. It was his life and he could do anything he wanted with it. She was not gonna waist hers pinning after him.
The bell rang and she watched at the students stood up looking at her waiting for her to dismiss them. She chuckled and nodded her head and watched as they practically ran out of the school. Reenie took her bag and left as well. She really needed a cool drink. She walked out of the school and saw that David was leaning against his cruiser smiling at her. She had no choice but to smile back at him.
"What are you doing here officer. Arresting a teenager?" Reenie asked as she walked up to him and leaned in for a kiss. David smiled at her and kissed her gently making Reenie moan softly as he touched her back. They have been dating for a while now. They were getting to know each other again. They were not officially together yet but Reenie could feel that it was heading that way and she was not sure she wanted to stop it.
"No I just wanted to see you. I have some free time now and I missed you." David said not releasing her.
"Well don't go all soft on me now David. Now you need to let me go. This is my place of work" Reenie said and steeped out of David's hold but grabbing his hand. She looked at him and smiled.
"Okay I promise we will not get arrested for indecent exposure. I just wanted to tell you to get ready tonight. I have a surprise for you." David said and Reenie smiled excitedly.
"I love surprises. Can't wait." Reenie said smiling brightly at David who chuckled.
"Well I will pick you up at 8. Wear something comfortable." David said and Reenie nodded. David kissed her one last time spreading a fire through her and making her want more.
When they broke apart both were breathing heavily and looked at each other with lust filled eyes. Reenie looked away first and stepped away.
"I will see you later David." She said.
"See you later." David said getting into his cruiser and driving away. Reenie took a deep breath to calm herself down. She and David had not slept with each other yet. She knew how good it was before but she was scared to go back there too fast. She needed to know that it was what she wanted but that resolve was breaking apart now. She wanted to have sex. She was a woman and she wanted to feel what she missed for so long. She wanted to have sex. Reenie took another deep breath an combed her finger through her hair and got into her car and drove to the clubhouse. There were mechanics who were working and a couple of the club members including Jax and Opie. She waved at them seeing the two nod back at her.
Reenie walked to the clubhouse and saw that her father was at the bar shutting back a shot of tequila and slam the glass back down on the counter and asking for another one.
"Can I get one of this as well." Reenie looking at the prospect and startling Piney in the process. Piney looked at his daughter and saw her miserable face.
"What has gotten into you today. You look like hell." Piney said taking the shot from the prospect and passing one to Reenie who sat down on a stool next to him. Both of them shot back a shot.
"i have been in hell dad. There was no air conditioning at the school and I sweated worse than a slut in church." She said and watched as Piney laughed at her.
"Well your hear now and its Friday and now you can get drunk." Piney said giving her another shot.
"Can't. Have a date later." Reenie said and watched as Piney scowled.
"Can't believe I lived the day to see me daughter date a cop." Piney said with distaste in his voice making Reenie raise an eyebrow at him the same way his ex wife did.
" I am dating David not a cop besides I am a big girl daddy and I can date whom ever I chose to. Don't you want me to be happy daddy." Reenie said and Piney looked at the prospect who left a bottle of tequila and left them alone to talk.
"Whatever a cop is a cop. Hate the lot of them." Piney said and Reenie shook her head. At least her father continues to be consistent.
"Well I kinda like this cop so please keep your opinion to yourself." Reenie said downing another drink.
"Well you are stubborn just like your mother." Piney grumbled under his nose and Reenie laughed at her father.
"Well legend says I got it from my father." Reenie said and Piney put down his drink and looked at his daughter.
"If that sleezey asshole hurts you I have no reservation to kill a cop, you hear me baby girl.?" Piney said looking at Reenie with a pointed finger. Reenie stood up from the stool and hugged her father who tensed at first like he always did but soon enough he relaxed and hugged his daughter back even kissing her hair
"I love you daddy and I promise I can take care of myself. You need to let me make my own mistakes and let me get myself out of them as well." Reenie said looking at her father who gave her a small smile.
"I forget that your not my little girl no more." Piney said and touched her cheek.
"Well I will always be your little girl." Reenie said and she could see Piney getting emotional.
"Go get out of here and get ready for your date. Go get." He said wiping at his eyes making Reenie chuckle. He kissed her father on the cheek and went out of the clubhouse to the scorching heat. Opie walked toward her with Jax tailing behind him.
"Your going on a date with Captain America again." Opie said with venom in his voice.
"Well it is not your business is it." Reenie said just as much venom and crossing her eyes. Thy began a staring match and when neither wanted to relent Jax stepped in.
"Okay guys I think you need to chill. Take a step back." Jax said stepping back between them. Opie looked at Jax and shook his head.
"Maybe you should talk some sense into her." Opie said leaving the two behind. Reenie took a breath and stepped away from Jax. It was hard to breath when he was standing next to her.
"You know what Jax I am not in the mood for a lecture." Reenie said and was bout to move but Jax gabbed her arm and stopped her.
"I am not going to give you one cause you're a grown ass woman and I definitely can see that." Jax said looking her up and down making Reenie blush but she still kept looking at him.
"You called me a coward and that is true I may be one but I am not willing to risk you into this life. The club will always get into a mess and I cannot have you as a collateral damage. You were always special to me and I am a man enough to admit that I want you. I want you bad but for your protection I am willing to step back and look as you have a life that you deserve with someone that is not me. I am willing to fight the urge to beat the holy hell out of that bastard cause he can have what I want cause you deserve someone who will protect you and if that someone is Hale then so be it. I will step back and watch you be happy. " Jax said looking at Reenie with heated blue eyes. His eyes lingered on her lips before he shook his head and left her standing there clutching at her beating heart trying to catch her breath.
Reenie had to take a breath to calm herself down. Jax admitted that he wanted her yet he was willing step back for her to have a happy live. Her heart ached to be with him but she knew it was no use. He was a stubborn man and when he made up his mind that was it. She shook her had and went to her car wiping the tears from her eyes. It was in that moment she understood that she could never have Jackson Teller and she needed to accept that.
Reenie got home and got ready for a date. She may not have Jax Teller but David Hale wanted her and he was a great man. Very loyal and very caring and maybe one day she could fall in love with him again. She hoped for because they were great together back in Seattle. She did not settle. She chose David cause maybe right now he was a better option. He was a safe option. They had a foundation that they could built on. It was good.
Later that night Reenie was looking at David with a little smile on her face as he talk about his day. When he came to pick her up they said that they were going for a drive and as soon as she saw his handsome smile Jax Teller could not be further away from her mind. David was so happy about something that happened at work that she could not help to admire that. She did not even know what he was talking about. She was just looking at him, her heart fluttering in her chest. She reached over and took his hand in his. David stopped talking and looked at her with a smile on his face and eyes that were full of love and it made her breath hitch. He kissed her hand and Reenie closed her eyes as they drove in silence the rest of the journey. Reenie could picture their life together. Them driving like that later on still happy, both wearing wedding rings. Her pregnant with his child. Running around the garden with their three children and a dog and it was a good dream. When she opened her eyes they were at a hill looking upon the town with the sun just begging to fall down.
"I was hoping you wanted to see the sunset with me." David said and Reenie smiled.
"I would love to David." Reenie said and kissed him on the mouth feeling the ache that she had for him.
David put down a blanket on the floor and a basket that was filled with food. Reenie covered her mouth with her hand and giggled. She was beyond happy right now. They sat on the blanket the watching as the sun settled down. David was holding her in his arms making her feel safe and content.
"Thank you David. I needed that today and it was beautiful." Reenie said turning her body to look at him.
"I can think of something way more beautiful." David said looking at Reenie's face than at her lips. Reenie breath hitched and she out her small hand on his face and kissed him slowly. David put a hand on her hair and deepened the kiss making Reenie moan in to her kiss. She straddled his hips and the kiss started to get more heated and she could feel his excitement against her tights. She was wet herself aching to feel David inside of her. Reenie broke the kiss both of them were breathing heavily.
"Make love to me David." Reenie breathed out and David seemed to stop breathing.
"Are you sure?" David whispered to her.
"I have never been so sure of anything in my life." Reenie said and David nodded and put her down on the blanket and covered his body with her kissing her lip softly before moving to her neck. Reenie moaned as leaned her head back giving more access to David as she kissed his neck and worked on the button of her shirt.
Reenie could not wait to get her hands on David so she tugged at the button of his shirt. David chucked and leaned up and took his shirt of and buttoned down the last of her buttons looking at her body.
"Your so beautiful." David sighed making Reenie laugh.
"You have seen it all before David so please fuck me." Reenie said annoyed making David laughed at her eagerness.
"Well I have not seen it in two years let me enjoy." David said taking her jeans of and looking at her and shaking his head in disbelief. Reenie sat up and took of her blouse and her bra off throwing it above her head.
"Well are you gonna come and take me then." she said and David eyes glazed over with lust and love. David swallowed the lump in his throat and kissed her with a frenzy. He kissed her wanting to get as close to her as they possibly could. Reenie put her legs around his waist and started moving her hips to get some friction. David could feel her heat against his member and broke the kiss to moan and put his forehead against his.
"I am going to make this last Reenie. I have waited to long for this. Leaving you in Seattle was the worst decision of my life. I never stopped loving you Reenie Winston so please give me a chance to make you love me again" David whispered with such emotion that it brought tears to Reenie's eyes. She could not speak so she just nodded and kissed him softly and moaned as she felt him thrusting himself slowly into her making both of them moan as they joined together once more.
That night they made love under the stars. It was beautiful and sensual and Reenie would remember that for the longest of time.
Well well well what have we got here. Reenie is with David. Well poor Jax he will have to watch Reenie with David, but fret not. They will get together but they will have a long way to go ( or maybe not). See and read on please and review. I wanna know what you are thinking.
