Thank you guys for following, favoriting, and reviewing! It means a lot and it keeps me inspired!
Where the hell is it?
I kept rummaging through my makeup bag in my bathroom, determined to find my eyeliner. I stopped looking when I felt strong, yet gentle hands on my waist. I looked up from my makeup bag, and into the mirror, seeing Jax behind me.
"Morning sleepyhead."
"Why didn't you wake me?"
"You looked so peaceful, so I decided to let you sleep in."
I went back to looking for my eyeliner. Yes. I found it. I pulled off the cap and started applying it, with Jax still behind me, smiling.
"What?"
"You're beautiful without it, ya know."
"Ha, thanks for making me laugh."
He took the eye liner out of my hand.
"Seriously. Look at you. You really don't see what I see. "
"I think someone just wants some morning nookie before I go to work."
"Okay, fine. You caught me. It's 50 percent nookie, 50 percent truth."
"I'd love to babe, but if I'm late one more time, my dad's gonna make an example out of my ass and fire me."
"That's okay, I can just teach you how to fix up bikes at the shop."
"Yeah, I'm sure your mother and the club would love that."
"They just need to get to know you."
"She believes what everyone else does at the Teller -Morrow auto shop. I killed my uncle, and set you up to protect my bright future, and not giving a shit who I threw under the bus. It doesn't help I'm black."
"Well, I'll tell her and the guys the truth."
"I don't think that'll make a difference, Jax. All odds are against us."
"That just makes what we got that much better."
Damn, did he always know when to say the right thing?
I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him.
"You mind taking me to work today? My car keeps making this knocking noise."
"Sure. I'll have the prospect take a look at it."
"At your shop? Why don't you drop off my car at the one down the street from yours?"
"Jules, stop stressing so much. Plus, you'll get the boyfriend discount."
I just love that word. I get to call Jackson Teller my boyfriend.
"Fine, you win. But go get your ass dressed and take me to work, " I commanded slapping his ass playfully.
"Yes ma'am."
That whole day I was so worried to walk into that shop. It was all I could think about. I just know they're going to judge me right off the bat. Maybe, we ARE rushing this. Maybe we should've waited a while to go public with our relationship. I was in awe with how much doubt and worry was rushing through my veins.
My dad interrupted my reeling thoughts when he knocked on my office door.
"Julia, I would like you to meet somebody."
My dad stepped aside and let this tall man, who was quite handsome, and black might I add, step into the room.
"Julia, this is Daniel Price. He moved here from San Francisco, and he doesn't know his way round town."
Un-fucking believable.
"Wow, dad you have nerve."
"I'm sorry?"
"You really think I'm that naive? You bring in a handsome black guy to come work with us and get close to me? Just to push Jax out of the picture?"
"Honey, I'm just trying to help."
"If you wanted to help, you would support me and accept who I'm with. I gotta go anyway. I need to pick up my car from the shop."
I closed the files in front of me and stood up out of my chair.
"You don't give up, I have to give you that," I whispered to him as I left him and "Daniel" alone in my office.
Jax was waiting in front of the building. He handed me my helmet and pulled me into a kiss.
"What's wrong?"
"My father. What else? He's trying to set me up with this lawyer who moved into town."
Jax swallowed harshly.
"Really? What did you say?"
"That I'm with you."
Jax's heartbeat went back to a normal rhythm, and he was able to somewhat breathe again. What if that guy is interested in Jules? He's a fucking criminal, and this guy's a lawyer.
How can he compete with that?
I noticed he zoned out for a minute. He snapped out of his trance once I touched his face.
"You okay?"
"Yeah... yeah. Come on."
I started whining as I put my helmet on.
"Come on, we have to do it someday. Why not now?"
I got on the back of his bike and tightly held his body. Hoping I can shield myself from the hate that was about to come.
Jax pulled his bike up in front of the garage where the prospect pulled out my car. Jax got off the bike first. We both took off our helmets at the same time. I got off slowly and Jax took my hand, getting a surprised reaction from the prospect.
What a fucking shock.
"Uh... I just need you to sign a few papers and take 'em into the office," the guy said, his eyes still glued to Jax and I's hand holding.
"Jules this is Half Sack. Half Sack, this is Julia."
He looked up from our hands and plastered on a smile.
"Nice to meet you. I gotta get to my next car."
"Okay, nice to meet you.", I replied, just ready to cry.
That was a guy just being nice. What the hell is going to happen to me with those who aren't?
"Jax, I should go. I'll drop these off at the office and just go. "
I let go of his hand and started walking. He caught my arm.
"I don't want you to."
"You might be ready for this, but I'm not. You see how he looked at us like some kind of fucking science experiment gone wrong? Imagine what will happen with the rest of the club. I can't. "
"Jules.."
Tears started falling lightly down her cheeks. He didn't realize how much this was hurting her. Yeah, he was scared shitless what they were going to say, but he can control it. He just couldn't believe how hard it was on the woman he loved.
"Okay. Another day, then."
He took my face in his hands and kissed me lightly. His thumbs removed the current tears that fell down my face.
"I love you."
"I love you, too."
Little did Jax know, the club just so happened to walk outside to see the new couple kissing.
"What the fuck?", Tig responded to the kiss, looking at Clay.
I went in the office and felt my body temperature fluctuate instantly. Jax's mother was sitting in the chair, and looked up when she heard the clicking of my heels on the floor.
Oh shit. God just kill me right now.
Okay guys, I changed a few things around from what I had posted earlier. Next chapter will be a flashback. I hope this one was good for you guys!
