Chapter 505 Wake Up Call for Jax

"

Gemma was in another sour mood. Clay was happy. The MC had handled their problem and no one had gotten shot. It would no longer be necessary for her to have MC protection—not that Clay had spent much effort in making sure she was protected unlike Jax who made sure his whore had protection 24/7. He may have assigned a prospect for the job, but Sack had been in combat in Iraq. Jax of course took the night shift keeping her safe while sharing her bed.

She could still feel the sting of Jax's words as he reamed her out for telling the whore to leave him alone. She only wanted what was best for him. He wasn't thinking straight. He'd never even been that crazy over Tara to talk to her like that. The blonde whore had a hold on him and she didn't like it one bit.

Jax was thinking with his dick as usual. He couldn't see past her pussy and realize that she wasn't up to old lady standards. One meal for the MC doesn't make her a great old lady and neither does being pretty. She'd been a president's old lady for more than twenty-five years. She knew what it took and the blonde whore didn't have what it takes.

Despite her invitations to make him his favorite dinner, he'd turned her down every single time. He came into the office occasionally, got a soft drink from the vending machine and left sometimes not even saying hello to her. He was treating her like she wasn't even his mother! It was time to give her precious baby boy a wake up call, make him realize just how much he loved her and take him away from the blonde whore.

She'd brought Juice's favorite summer beverage—cherry lemonade to work today and told Chucky to let the guys know she had it in the office sitting in a cooler filled with ice. She'd even made cherry lemonade ice cubes that she'd put in a separate plastic bag to be added to the lemonade before drinking.

Just as she planned, Juice was the first one in for a big glass of cherry lemonade. He took a seat while he enjoyed his favorite drink. She expertly steered the conversation to learn about what Jax was doing. Clay had lifted the order that everyone had to stay in town and Gemma wanted to know if Jax had plans that weekend without him knowing she wanted to know.

Juice shared that Jax was going out of town with Scarlett and leaving work around eleven tomorrow. He went on to tell her about the other guys' plans, but she'd quit remembering after she got the info she wanted about Jax.

Clay came in a few minutes later for some cherry lemonade and sat down next to Juice. They began discussing something about a custom bike build and she quit listening to the conversation. She had more important things to think about anyway than some stupid bike build.

Back when Jax was a junior in high school, Gemma's failure to take her heart medication caused her to pass out and get rushed to the hospital. It was during Jax's prom. At least Gemma had pictures of Jax looking handsome in his midnight blue tuxedo. There were pictures of Tara too wearing a long pink chiffon dress. She'd conveniently lost those.

Prom Charming style was a little different from most high school proms. It was held in town at a large wedding venue. It included dinner, refreshments and a dessert bar as well as a band and dancing. Jax and Tara had just sat down to dinner when he got word that she had been taken to the hospital. Jax left immediately. Tara had stayed at the prom with Opie and Donna third wheeling it.

She had gotten back on her medication despite the drugs making her feet swell so she couldn't get her boots on. She'd simply bought some boots for wearers with larger calves and her problems were solved.

Jax dropped out of school ahead of getting kicked out for fighting in his senior year. He was attending the graduation because Tara was the class valedictorian. It got under Gemma's skin that the little bitch was going to stand up in front of Charming and lecture them. She'd hated Tara from the moment she met her and she'd had no reason to change her opinion in the time she and Jax were together.

She felt pain in her heart at the start of graduation and had to be rushed to the hospital again. Of course, this time the pain was all a front. She wanted Jax by her side and not in the audience when that bitch made her speech. Jax missed Tara's greatest moment just as Gemma planned.

The next time her heart went conveniently one the fritz was the day Tara left town. Gemma had been worried that Jax would act on some crazy romantic impulse and end up leaving town with her. Back then, he was much more impulsive. By being rushed to the hospital with chest pains, Gemma was protecting Jax from giving into Tara's pressure to leave town. He was by her side in the hospital exactly where he belonged.

As much as she didn't want to play the sick mother with the bad heart card again, desperate times called for desperate measures and she wasn't going to put up with Jax treating her like she wasn't his mother any longer. Something needed to be done to snap Jax out of his bull shit way of thinking.

Once he thought she was sick and might die, he would realize just how much she meant to him. He would be sorry for putting so much stress on her that she nearly had a heart attack.

Women would come and go in Jax's life, but she would always be his mother. Jax would always love her best. It was about damned time that he remembered that.

Will Gemma's evil plot work?
