CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT

Website where all photos of all outfits mentioned is on my profile.

There's a very eerie silence when I wake up in the morning and it takes a second for me to realise I'm alone in the bed, Jax's side of the bed is completely cold telling me that he's been up for a while. Sliding out of the blankets I head into the bathroom, the wet towel on the floor evidence that Jax had showered while I slept.

Pulling one of Jax's SAMCRO shirts on I climb back into bed before looking over at the clock surprised to see it's almost 11am, in the clubhouse the noise level usually hits a volume to wake everyone up about 9am when Gemma puts on the cleaning Drill Sergeant stripes.

The sound of someone moving around the room seeps into my brain while I'm lying with my head in the pillows. It's not till Jax slides back into the bed beside me that I realise that he's brought coffee with him, the smell drifting into my nose. I slowly turn over and blink my heavy eyelids "I smell coffee."

Jax grins and hands me a blue coffee cup "Ma made coffee, I just supplied the vessel to bring it to you."

I smile and move up the bed slowly till my back is against the headboard "Thank you."

Jax picks up his cup from the bedside table along with the ashtray and his lighter "No probs babe. I talked to Hap."

I widen my eyes "Really?"

Jax nods again and smiles hugely "He didn't see you much last night but said that it looks like you'll be able to get the ink you want done this weekend if you're ready?"

I nod furiously "I've been ready for this ink since I was 14."

Jax leans back into the headboard and holds his arm open waiting till I move across and into the warmth of his embrace. "I know. Told him what you want and he's working with fonts."

I lean up and kiss him slowly before settling back to my position under his arm "I hope you didn't wake him up at sparrow fart."

Jax winks "I may have woken him up early, but he was in the main room. If he wanted to be left to sleep then he should have locked himself in his room."

I giggle as I pick up my coffee from where I'd set it "True. Please tell me the pool table is still sanitary."

"Why?" Jax asks with a curious look.

"Cam wants to play with us again tonight. I want her to clean up a few games of pool first."

Jax laughs "Who?"

I shrug "Chibs would be a good start. I'd love to see her play you and Ope and see if she could win."

Jax shrugs one shoulder "If you want."

I nod silently as I drink the steaming coffee brought to me "Did you bring food as well, I'm starving."

Jax leans over and picks up the plate beside him "Of course I did."

Setting the plate on his knee he grins at me "I've learnt that you're much more agreeable when you have coffee and food shortly after waking up. I brought a couple of slices of Bobby's bread, and one of the trays from Lumpys with scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns and sausage."

My mouth starts watering almost instantly "I haven't had Bobby's bread in years. Gimme Gimme Gimme!"

Jax laughs and hands over the two thick slices of brown bread lathered with butter "You don't want any of this?"

I nod "Of course I do." Leaning over the tray I pick one of the pieces of bacon off and lay in on the bread and half of the eggs smooshing it on top of the bacon, slapping the other slice of bread on the top I grin at Jax "I'm good now."

Jax raises one eyebrow as I take a bite of the sandwich I've made "Where the fuck do you put it all?"

I laugh as I swallow, picking up my coffee and swallowing a mouthful "You."

"Huh?"

"You, you help me work it off. As long as I don't eat too much I get all the exercise I need with you. And if I ever stopped fitting my pants I'd start walking Doj more."

Jax laughs "So I keep you in shape?"

I nod "You do, and it's the best, most rewarding exercise on earth."

Jax laughs as I chew another bite of the bacon and egg sandwich that I'd made. Once I swallow I pick up the water I'd set there last night that I hadn't finished drinking. Swallowing almost half the bottle I smile at Jax "Bobby has to make at least a loaf of this a week for me from now on."

Jax raises his eyebrow "You can tell him that Darlin' I'm not sure how agreeable he is at the moment."

"Why?"

"Someone slipped a red sock in with his white Elvis suit, the whole things pink." Jax says, almost managing not to laugh.

"Oh fuck, I'm not surprised he's in a bad mood then."

Jax chuckles "Yeah doesn't help that he's meant to do a series of shows in Tahoe in a couple of weeks. Now he's gotta get a whole new suit made. The whole clubhouse, well everyone that was awake, heard about it."

I finish my breakfast sandwich and coffee nestled into Jax's side. After washing down the last bite with the last inch of coffee in my cup I set it on the bedside table "I'll talk with D and Al today about if there's anything else we need for Abel. If there is anything we can't get here we may do a trip to Stockton but I'll ring you and let you know before we leave."

Jax shakes his head "I've gotta be up at Bluebird all day so I'll be out of communication all day."

I sigh and nod against his shoulder "Okay."

Jax slides out of the bed and pulls his jeans back on before leaning over the bed and kissing me on the forehead. "Love you babe, be good. There's money on the dresser for whatever you need, but don't forget my armchair."

I nod silently and relax against the headboard while he picks his kutte up "I'll be back about 6, then we're in Church, but we should be done by 7. Bring some of your shit over and we'll sort draws tomorrow."

Jax ducks out the door "Hey D, she's in bed still, go on in."
