Chapter 6

As Jax was in the shower, Tinsley got the kitchen cleaned up and decided to put the left over muffins in a container to take to TM. She could admit when she needed to score some brownie points. She couldn't even begin to think about what an office manager had to do in a day. But, she needed this job if she ever wanted to start her bakery and hopefully those muffins would score he points if anyone asked why she was wanting a second job. Everyone at the club knew she already worked at Sunny Side Diner.

Tinsley had just sat down on the couch when Jax came out of the bedroom freshly showered. She found it incredibly sexy that he had used her vanilla bean body wash. The smell lingered behind him him as he sat down on the couch beside her, pulling her close. She figured he would have just used the bar of dial laying on the counter by the sink.

"I need to get going if I want to talk you your mom" said Tinsley.

"I can give you a ride" said Jax.

"Ok. I need to put a bra on, grab my purse and slide some shoes on and I'll be ready" said Tinsley.

"Ok, hop to" Jax said, slapping her on the ass she she wanted towards the bedroom. Tinsley looked back at him in fake horror and Jax and that adorable shit eating grin plastered on his face.

Tinsley found her strapless bra and put it on. She stepped in the bathroom, brushed her teeth, and studied her reflection. She really should do something with her being she was going to an interview but she didn't want to keep Jax waiting. She exited the bathroom and found her purple converse. She sat on the edge of the bed, remembering everything that happened last night. Vivid clips began playing in her head. Jax eating her pussy like it was Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Jax sucking and licking on her breasts like he was trying to see how many licks it took to get to the center of the tootsie pop. She felt he nipples harden just at the thought. Pulling herself together, she exited the bedroom.

As soon as Tinsley walked out the bedroom, Jax knew what she was thinking. He could see it on her face. Plus he could see her hardened nipples through the thin fabric of he shirt.

"Hey Tins, last night was amazing.. I don't know that I have ever had a better sexual experience. I know my reputation proceeds me but can we just play this by ear. Take it one day at a time? Take it slow and see what happens? Said Jax.

"Umm, Yeah I guess. I'm not really looking for anything serious anyway" said Tinsley going for nonchalant when she was anything but. She knew Jax wouldn't want to spend more that one night in her bed. Who was she kidding to think she was any different than anyone else.

After an awkward silence that seemed to have lasted forever, she grabbed her purse and the box of muffins.

"You ready" she asked Jax.

"Yea darling. Let's roll" said Jax.

Tinsley knew Jax had rode his bike to her house last night. This was going to be her first time on the back of a motorcycle and she was nervous. Did she trust him enough to actually do this? Scary thing was, for some unexplainable reason, she did trust him, completely. She couldn't think of one person who wasn't family that she trusted as fully as she did Jax. And she really didn't even know him.

Jax grabbed her hand after they walked out of her apartment and she had locked the door. They walked to his bike hand in hand. He only had his helmet so he gave it to her. Tinsley soon realized the helmet wouldn't work with her hair up so she quickly let it down. She slid the helmet on and Jax secured it for her. He climbed on his bike and helped her get on the back.

"Ever rode before" Jax asked.

"No, never.." said Tinsley.

"Just wrap your arms around my waist and rest your cheek between my shoulder blades. You will be fine" said Jax.

They took off. It was a short ride to TM. When they pulled into the lot, it was 10am. Tinsley was sure Jax was late and would catch hell for being so. Jax parked his bike and Tinsley removed the helmet. Jax climbed off his bike first. He then helped Tinsley climb off. He grabbed her hand and headed toward the office. He could see Gemma was already hard at work.

"Hey mom" said Jax.

"Don't hey mom me shithead, you're 2 hours late. Where the fuck have you been? I been calling your cell. Clay has been looking for you too and he's not happy" said Gemma. She then noticed that Tinsley was with him.

"Hey sweetheart. Couldn't stay away could ya" said Gemma.

"No ma'am. I'm actually here because Jax told me you were looking for an office manager. I'll be honest and tell you up front that I don't have any experience but I'm a quick study. I'd be willing do do just about anything you needed around here. I'll even bring muffins" said Tinsley laughing.

"Well, we are looking for someone to pick up the slack and free me up some. How about we try today and see how you do. And you won't have to cook for us unless yo want to" said Gemma. And with that, grabbed a muffin out of the box and practically dragged Jax out of the office.

Tinsley stood in the office of TM wondering where to start. The phone was ringing so she figured that was as good a place as any to start.

"Good morning and thanks for calling Teller-Morrow Garage. This is Tinsley. How can I help you" Tinsley said her in southern accent. Growing up, she didn't realize she had such an accent. Moving to California though, she learned two things. One, people had a hard time understanding her sometimes and two, people just loved to hear her talk. She would be willing to be that's why she did so good in tips at Sunny Side.

"Oh you must be new. This is Wendy. I'm looking for Jax"

"Yes ma'am I am new here, Jax is actually busy at the moment. May I take a message" asked Tinsley

"Yea, tell him his wife called and that be better call me back" said Wendy.

"I will ma'am. Have a great day" said Tinsley

It took everything in Tinsley not to flip her shit on Wendy. She still couldn't wrap her head around yesterday's events. Seriously, who endangers the life of their unborn child. Peeping out the door, Tinsley looked across the lot for Jax. She saw him sitting at the picnic table in front of there club house talking to Clay, Tig, and Bobby. Tinsley walked towards the club house. Jax saw her coming and met her half way.

"What's up" he asked

"Nothing, Wendy just called looking for you" she said.

"Shit. What did she want" Jax asked clearly not wanting to talk to his ex-wife.

"I don't honestly know. All she said was that you better call her back" said Tinsley.

"Ok, thanks for the message. Look, I gotta head out. Catch you later" Jax asked.

"I'll be here until closing" said Tinsley.

He rested his hand on her hips and kissed her on the cheek before walking off. She watched as he and the club left the compound leaving only Dog and some other guy behind to do the work. She wondered where the guys had headed off to. Jax seemed tense before leaving. Tinsley was pretty sure the message from Wendy hadn't helped improve his mood. Clearly, whatever he and the guys had been talking about was stressing him.

Around 2pm, the club returned. Jax came into the office with a carry out tray from Sunny Side Diner.

"I brought you some lunch" said Jax.

"Thanks, I'm starving" said Tinsley. She opened the container and was shocked to see her favorite thing on the menu there... fish tacos and chips and guacamole. She wondered how he could have possibly known this was her favorite. He must have asked Willow.

Tinsley devoured the food. Jax could get used to a woman with an appetite. Most of the women if his life ate like birds. Tinsley looked like the type that could eat a salad for dinner but would eat a greasy cheeseburger for dinner the next day. Thinking about Tinsley and food wasn't doing much for the boner he was trying to hide. All thoughts went to Tinsley, naked, lying in bed while he licked chocolate syrup off every inch of her body.

"Thanks Jax, that was delicious. Only thing that would make it better is a cigarette. Time for desert" said Tinsley as she grabbed her cigarettes out of her purse and headed outside the office. Jax knew of a few things that would make it better but we wasn't going there. His dick was already making him very uncomfortable.

"You're welcome Tins. I should get to work" said Jax as he walked out of the office. He needed to get away from her before he fucked her across the deck in the office.

"Jesus Christ" Jax mumbled to himself as he made his way to the garage.

The rest of the day went by pretty slow. Gemma had left to check on Abel, the guys were working on various cars in the lot, Opie and Half sack and just left for a repo. Since she had nothing else to do, she organized the file cabinet, cleared off the desk, logged all the service tickets in the computer, and manned the phones.

At 6pm, Jax walked into the office.

"Closing time hot stuff. You need a ride home" he asked

"No, I can walk. Thanks for the offer though" she replied.

"Suit yourself. Can I see you later?" asked Jax.

"Jax, I though we were taking this slow. I just want to go home, get comfy, watch crap tv, and go to bed. No offense." said Tinsley.

"None taken sweetheart. I'm sure you must be tired. Neither of us got much sleep last night" said Jax smirking.

"No we sure didn't did we" said Tinsley.

"Sure I can't give you ride" Jax asked one more time.

"Actually, I would really appreciate it. I didn't realize how tired I really was until just now." Said Tinsley.

Jax handed her the helmet and she climbed on the bike. She wrapped her arms around him and rested her cheek between his shoulder blades as he had told her earlier. Her hands we mere inches from his dick and the brainless wonder was taking notice. Thank god this was just a short trip. He didn't m one if he could survive an hour ride with her this close with the way he was feeling. He was like a damn teenager when it came to her.

He pulled into the parking lot of her apartment and helped her off his bike. He didn't want to leave yet. She walked her to her door.

"Thanks for the ride Jax"

"You're welcome darling"

"Well I'm gonna get on in there. I've got the morning shift at the diner tomorrow. I get off at 11. Let Gemma know for me please" said Tinsley.

"Yea, sure thing" said Jax.

They both stood where they were. Neither made a move.

"Goodnight Jax"

"Goodnight Tins"Again, neither moved.

Tinsley got ready to walk in her door. Before he could get inside, Jax had her pinned to the wall and was kissing her. They kissed and kissed but both managed to pull back before it went any further.

"Good night Tins" said Jax. And with that he walked to his bike.
