Chapter 351 Friday Night Plans

"

Jax had invited her to explain money laundering to the MC at the end of Church. He explained that was MC speak for the club meetings every Friday night. Afterwards he wanted to introduce her around the clubhouse.

Scarlett was worried not about the money laundering presentation or even the introducing around, but about keeping Jax's hands and lips off hers. She'd never had willpower problems with men. She thought that she was immune. Turned out she wasn't immune. She'd just never crossed paths with a man soaked in sex appeal like Jax Teller. A man that might be her brother, she reminded herself. That would be such a cruel twist and that was why she was becoming more and more convinced it was going to turn out to be true. That was exactly the kind of thing that happened to her.

She decided to give Tara a call and see if there was anything that she needed to know about the clubhouse.

"I don't think you will have any problems," Tara said after Scarlett told her about her Friday night plans. "Just don't take any back talk from the crow-eaters. They can be really mean. At least that was the way it was back in my day. I wonder if that porn whore Ima will be there. She was always throwing herself at Jax."

"What does she look?"

"Tall skinny blonde. Vacant look in the eyes."

"After all these years, I'm sure that they've probably hooked up by now. I'm still going to watch out for her though."

"When Jax and I were together, the girls were always all over him."

"That will only happen once with me," Scarlett said. "He can be with a crow-eater or with me. He only gets one chance at that decision."

"That was the problem with me. I was always so insecure. I would put up with things I didn't like because I didn't want to cause trouble. I didn't want to lose Jax. He was the best guy in high school."

"I am so glad my high school years are behind me," Scarlett said shuddering. "A miserable time of life."

"You had a hard time in high school?" Tara asked surprise in her voice.

"We moved a lot and I tend to not fit in. Now, I'm OK with being kind of a loner. Back then, I felt defective."

"Looking at you, Scarlett, I never would have imagined that."

"I still feel defective a lot of the time and it doesn't have anything to do with my back."

"I guess we never know what's going on inside someone else."

"How are things going with Eric? Is he still out of town?"

"Yes. Who knew a children's book author would travel so much? I want you to meet him and get your opinion. Maybe double date."

"Don't take any boat trips until I get a chance to check this guy out. I don't want you to end up thrown overboard tied to an anchor."

"Thanks for that," Tara said laughing. "If Ima's at the clubhouse and you get a chance, say something mean to her for me."

"I'll do that. Thanks for the tips Tara."

Scarlett wasn't feeling any better after her call to Tara. She just couldn't imagine how she was going to find her willpower to resist Jax for these next three days without arousing his suspicion.

Three days. It wasn't forever. She could get through that. It might only be two days. She could definitely get through that. Just resist Jax for two or three days. It should be easy. That's right. Easy.

Author's Note: Over the next months, I will be going back and rewriting chapters, writing summaries and adding summaries for blocks of chapters. It won't be every chapter. I think a summary covering a block of chapters will work better.

This story has grown to be larger than I ever imagined or I would have been smarter and done the summaries as I wrote each chapter to use for me. Live and learn.

I will update you on my progress. The block summaries will be posted at the end of chapters. I will be uploading the rewritten chapters in blocks of ten chapters. I think I will also do some lists of funny chapters or the most romantic chapters sometimes I like to go back and read chapters over.
