CHAPTER NINETY-TWO
Website where all photos of all outfits mentioned is on my profile. Just hit 200 reviews of this on FFN. :-)
Jax's driveway is full when we pull into the driveway, but there's no one in his house. The Ram and Nitro sitting side by side make it seem like we should walk in and find someone in the kitchen or living room but it's completely silent as Jax unlocks the door.
Pushing the door open we both drop helmets on the table, my bag and his wallet adding to the pile of casually dropped things. Jax shrugs off his kutte and hangs it up on the row of hooks, the holster that he'd been wearing all day being set beside my bag. "You never told me what this plan you had about what to do with that when Abel starts moving."
I roll my eyes as I lead him through to the kitchen turning the oven on and pulling the left over pizza from the fridge "You'll see when we move and I get everything in place. How hungry are you?"
Jax shrugs, walking to the fridge "You want anything to drink?"
I nod as Jax reaches into the fridge pulling out a brown bottle looking at it with a raised eyebrow "What the fuck is this?"
I look over my shoulder "It's cider."
Jax nods once and hands the bottle to me with a shudder. "You can have that; I'll stick with beer and whiskey."
I laugh and pull the bottle opener from the draw popping the cap off it "It's nice, but you wouldn't like it."
Jax steps towards me "Really, wouldn't I?"
Part of my brain laughs that he bit so easily and hold the bottle towards him "Try it and see what you think."
The fruity taste makes his nose wrinkle "Nope, you really can keep it."
I laugh and swallow a mouthful of the strawberry and lime flavoured liquid hitting my tongue with a sweet tangy blast. Putting some of the pizza on the tray I wrap what's left and jam it into the freezer, the tiny gap that was there being taken up. "Maybe I should have brought you another freezer."
Jax shakes his head, waiting till I've put the tray in the oven before pulling me to his chest and kissing my forehead "Nope. You brought one for your place and we'll be there soon enough."
"Our place." I say poking him in the chest with my fingertip.
"Our place, sorry babe." Jax smiles as he walks backwards to the dining table pulling me with him. "What do you want to do with this?" He sets his hand on the table in front of him.
"I don't know. We can put it in the kitchen, or leave it here for Juice. I don't think that poor boy has a clue about furnishing a house. I'll talk with Al about it when I see them next."
"Tomorrow then." Jax says with a grin. "That's if you want to go."
I nod "We should shouldn't we?"
Jax nods "I'm sure that Clay would like us to be there."
I nod "Okay then. I'll make sure that I'm done with Elliot by 6 at the latest. What time do you have to be there?"
Jax chuckles "How did you know I had to be there tomorrow?"
I shrug "Cause I'm able to read your mind."
"No, really. How did you know?"
"You wouldn't be pushing for us to both to go TM tomorrow if it wasn't for something important. I'm not going to ask, cause you'll tell me if I need to know but I'm guessing it has something to do with the Mayans and Bluebird."
Jax looks gobsmacked and licks his lips before shaking his head "Every day you surprise me, every time you open your mouth something comes out that proves you know far too much, and listen far too well to what is said around you."
I pull out of Jax's arms and go to the kitchen bench picking up my bottle of cider and taking a long swallow. When I set the bottle down Jax is looking at me with a heat in his eyes that reminds me of how hot his touch is against my skin and I blink slowly "You okay baby?"
Jax nods and stands up slowly before crossing the kitchen "I am absolutely perfect. I have the woman I love inked and in my kitchen making me dinner. There is nothing in the world that I need other than our son home, then life will be complete."
I smile brightly and peek through the oven door "We won't be in the new house when he comes home unfortunately."
Jax nods "I know, the house won't be done till August."
I swallow "You know that we have to go to New York in August don't you?"
Jax nods "I do babe, we have this trial for the dead fucker who's not going to hurt anyone ever again. Are you going to be able to say under oath, that you haven't seen him since his last trial?"
I shrug hopelessly "I don't know Jax, I really don't know. I'd love to be able to say I can breeze through it all and be fine at the other end but the fact is that you've seen those photos that were spread all over the clubhouse, and my best friend's house. You know how bad it was, you know what I went through. I'm not sure if I can say anything about him without being grateful that he's dead, and it showing through my words and expressions."
Jax laughs "I know you're able to hide your emotions, you managed to hide them from me for years."
I poke my tongue out at him "No, I didn't. You were just to blind to notice."
Jax looks insulted for a second before he gets to his feet, his chair sliding across the chair behind him and crossing the kitchen towards me "I may have been blind back then, but now I know. I know how perfect you are for me, I know how much I love you, I know how much you love me, I know how much you love our son and how much you are doing to make sure that this town stays safe for him to grow up in."
Jax slides his hands around my waist and pulls me to his chest, my hands coming up to rest over his heart "If you start anything now, dinner will burn and we will go without food."
Jax slides his hand down my back, squeezing my ass as he pressing himself to me "Oh, I don't really need food now. You, I need all the time."
I giggle and press my face into his chest "Was your dorm room earlier not enough?"
Jax shakes his head and lifts me up, sitting me on the kitchen bench "Babe, nothing will ever be enough. I will never have enough of you. There will never be a point in time where I've had my fill of you."
My cheeks heat up as I blush lightly and I'm vaguely aware of the insanity at blushing at something said by the man I'm going to spend my life with.
Jax runs his fingers over the flushed skin, smiling "I love it that you blush so easily at simple things."
I poke my tongue out at him and lean onto his chest absorbing the smell of him as the blood fades from my cheeks. "I don't want to put a damper on the mood, but I blush because it's still a bit surreal to me that I'm here. The place where I dreamt of being for so long."
Jax's arms tighten around me, the tiny space vanishing as his chest presses right against mine "Well, I guess dreams do come true."
I stretch up and kiss him lightly "And I'm glad they do."
The timer I'd set goes off to let me know that the pizza will be hot and wiggling out of his arms Jax frowns a little as I pull the tray out of the oven but the smell that hits his nose makes his stomach rumble which makes me laugh. "Thought you said you weren't hungry?"
Jax shrugs "I lied."
