Little Toy Bikers and a Woman on the Run
Chapter 240 Cat Fight
Jax reached into his cut and pulled out an envelope stuffed with cash. It was the money Scarlett had given him for driving her to physiotherapy. He'd taken a little out of it, but he'd decided to give most of it to Opie and Donna.
He handed the envelope to Opie.
"Just part of your combat pay," Jax said referring to the money Clay had given to Opie on Friday.
He didn't want Opie to know the money came from him personally or he wouldn't accept it. Jax was going to make a lot of money driving Scarlett to physio and he didn't have kids to support like Opie. It just seemed like the right thing to do.
"Thanks brother," Opie said.
He showed Donna the envelope and she hugged him before he put the cash stuffed envelope in the pocket of his cut.
"You might want to keep an eye out for Scarlett," Opie said gesturing toward Scarlett and Tara at the drinking fountain.
"Scarlett told me they are friends," Jax said.
"Really?" Opie asked skeptically. "Tara was the cat fight queen back in her day."
"Believe me," Jax said chuckling, "I remember."
Tara had probably had cat fights with at least a half dozen of the women at the picnic back when she and Jax were together. He had enjoyed watching Tara fight girls. It had made him feel that she did it out of love.
An older, wiser and more mature Jax saw the fights differently. Tara's fighting was a symptom that something was wrong in their relationship. She had been insecure in their relationship and she hadn't trusted him.
She was fighting for her territory—him. She didn't understand that all the cat fights in the world wouldn't fix their relationship problems. That was something for them to have worked out together.
"Scarlett will get her butt kicked," Opie said. "She can barely walk."
Jax noticed that most of the adults at the picnic were watching Scarlett and Tara because they had either been in fights with Tara, witnessed fights or heard about them. Most expected something to happen between the two women. They didn't have long to wait.
"He's mine," Tara shouted.
"He hasn't been yours in ten years," Scarlett replied raising her voice.
"I'm not about to let some blonde whore take him away from me," Tara yelled.
"I am not a whore," Scarlett screamed, "and I'm only a fake blonde."
There was a ripple of laughter at Scarlett's confession.
"You're a five dollar hooker."
"You have to pay men to sleep with you and they still have to put a bag over your face."
There was more laughter from the audience. Jax couldn't believe what he was hearing. Scarlett and Tara in a screaming fight over him? It just didn't make sense that Tara would act this crazy now not after their talk. He had made it clear to her that they were over.
This last insult from Scarlett must have pushed Tara too far because she grabbed Scarlett's ponytail. Scarlett grabbed Tara's hair. They weren't pulling each other's hair, just sort of gripping it.
Jax sprinted over to the two women. Scarlett was too fragile for a cat fight.
"What the hell has gotten into you two?" he demanded.
"Mad love for you," Tara said.
"You're just flat out crazy," Scarlett said.
"We could share him," Tara suggested.
"Like a threesome?" Scarlett asked.
"Yeah," Tara said.
Jax liked the direction this conversation was taking. In the interest of peace between the two women, he was willing to help the peace process by having a threesome with them. It wouldn't be his first.
"No," Scarlett said pulling Tara's hair.
Tara replied by pulling Scarlett's ponytail.
Donna had gotten up from the picnic table and was standing next to Jax. Suddenly, she began clapping her hands.
"That was really great," she said.
Scarlett and Tara let go of each other's hair and smiled.
"I'm not here for Jax," Tara said loudly so the audience could hear her words. "I don't cat fight anymore. That was so last decade." Tara looked at Gemma when she said this.
"We're friends," Scarlett added also keeping her voice loud.
"You've just witnessed a fake cat fight," Donna said.
"We're all friends. The three of us," Tara said.
The women proved that by hugging each other. Tara waved and left the picnic. Donna returned to the table with Opie leaving Scarlett alone with Jax.
"You're in trouble," Jax said.
"What?" Scarlett demanded indignantly. Her voice was pitched so he was the only one who could hear her.
"Staging a fake cat fight? Really?"
Jax wasn't angry, but he wasn't about to let Scarlett know that. Later, he would have a good laugh over the whole thing except the threesome part. For a split second, he thought that was a possibility.
"It wasn't all my idea."
"I bet it was mostly your idea."
"It was mostly Tara and me. All of the insults were scripted and we don't believe the mean things we said to each other."
"You're still in trouble," Jax said sternly.
"Why isn't Tara in trouble?"
"Because she's not here with me and you are."
"Is there going to be punishment?"
Jax nodded his head.
"I'm afraid so," he said with mock grimness.
"What's it going to be?" Scarlett asked, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
"I'll think of something," he said gruffly.
He couldn't resist. He kissed her. He didn't care that it was in front of the whole MC.

Guest Reviews: I always rewrite PM to reviewers but with guest reviews that's not possible, so this is my way of writing a reply.
Emily: Thank you. Your reviews always bring a smile to my fact. Glad you are feeling the heat between Scarlett and Jax. I think it's hot, but I'm not objective and getting someone else's opinion helps a lot.
