Little Toy Bikers and a Woman on the Run
Chapter 114 Lost
Scarlett was furious at herself for being weak in front of Jax. She wanted him to see a woman who had life all figured out and was confident and always sure of herself. It wasn't who she was; it was the person she wanted to be. Showing weakness could get her and her father killed.
Her father's expectations were overwhelming her. Bringing down SOA by first bringing down SAMCRO wasn't going to be easy or without danger. It also wouldn't be something that would take a few weeks. It was going to be a long process.
She had always been good at keeping control of her emotions. She never fell for men and their lines no matter how charming, but Jax was different. She never expected to like him. There was nothing to do but harder her heart.
Using her fingers, she wiped away her tears and watched for a moment as the sun colored the lake's water in golds and reds.
"Scarlett, come to bed," Jax said, returning to the living room. "I'll let you braid my hair."
He held open his hand to show her the hair elastics in the palm of his hand.
"Can I braid your beard too?" she asked softly.
"Yeah, you can braid my beard too."
If Scarlett had been able to remember it, that was the moment she lost her heart to Jax for the first time.
