Little Toy Bikers and a Woman on the Run
Chapter 295 Gemma Moves
"
Gemma and Tig had just returned from the drugstore. She'd headed for the room where Tara was treating Jax when she saw that the two of them were alone and speaking quietly.
She decided to find Scarlett and have a little fun with her. She was in the kitchen with Bobby. He was handing Scarlett a bottle of water from the refrigerator.
"Bobby, I want to talk to Scarlett for a minute."
"Thanks for the water," Scarlett said.
"Sure," Bobby said as he left.
"Do you have any straws? The water's for Jax and he can't really move his head to drink with Tara working on him."
Gemma opened a drawer where all the leftover stuff from fast food was kept. It was stuffed with straws, packets of ketchup and even a few mayo packets. She handed Scarlett a paper wrapped straw.
"How's Jax doing?"
"He seems better now that he isn't being carved into. Tara cleaned out his wounds, gave him IV antibiotics and she got the bleeding stopped. She's going to numb up his wounds, remove the bullets and stitch him closed."
Gemma shook her head.
"She actually knows what she's doing."
"She's a real surgeon not someone who spent two hours in a first aid course."
Gemma didn't like that. She wasn't going to put up with Scarlett getting snippy with her.
"You might want to watch out for Tara. I just saw Jax and Tara looking cozy."
Scarlett smiled at Gemma contemptuously.
"She's sewing his ass up. That's pretty intimate."
"Just a friendly warning. Tara and Jax were each other's first loves. You never get over that."
"There's also a reason that first loves don't last and that people grow up and move on."
"Don't buy that friendship bullshit. She will do anything to get him back. You think you and Jax are tight enough to withstand that?"
Gemma wanted to shake some of the blonde's confidence. She was angry that Jax had been carrying on with her and had never mentioned that it was a serious relationship. He should have talked to her first before deciding Scarlett was going to be his old lady.
"Gemma, I know what you're trying to do. You want to poison my friendship with Tara and weaken my relationship with Jax."
"I'm trying to help you," Gemma insisted.
"I don't need your help."
"I'm his mother. I will always have a say in his life."
"And as time goes on, your voice will get weaker and weaker until you're nothing more than background noise. We can get along or you can try to cause trouble. Understand that if you try to cause trouble, your relationship with Jax will suffer. It's in your best interests to get along with me."
Gemma was shocked at how this conversation was going. She was going to have fun with Scarlett by getting under her skin by using Tara. Suddenly, the bitch had turned the tables on her.
"Don't get too comfortable with Jax. He goes through girls like water," Gemma said.
Scarlett smiled.
"That's because he's never been with someone like me."
Scarlett turned, the water and straw in her left hand and left Gemma in the kitchen before she could come up with a snarky reply.
