Chapter 9

"Jax, I really need to get up, shower, and get dressed for work" said Tinsley as she ran her hand up and down his chest.

"I'll join you in the shower" said Jax.

"As much as I would enjoy that, we both know that I would end up late for work. Give me 10 minutes and I'll be out" said Tinsley.

Climbing out of the bed, she walked towards the bathroom completely nude give Jax a hard on all over again.

"Jesus Christ" moaned Jax as he set up, lighting a cigarette. He was in serious trouble as far as this girl was concerned.

Once in bathroom, Tinsley turned the water on. While the water was warming up, she brushed her teeth and washed he face. When that was done she climbed into the shower and made quick work of washing herself. Out of nowhere, it hit her that she and Jax hadn't used a condom. She tried to calculate her cycle in her mind. She knew she was due to start anytime in the next two weeks.

"Dammit.. dammit all to hell" Tinsley whispered to herself.

She finished showering and dried off. She left her hair wrapped in the towel as she padded to the bead room in search of something to wear. She settled on a pair of denim high waisted shorts and a teal and pink stripped tank top. She he put her pink thong on and found her strapless bra. Jax was watching her like a hawk.

"I never knew it could be so sexy to see some one get dressed" he said from his reclined position on her bed.

Making quick work of getting dressed, he turned around and looked him dead in the eye. Instead of saying anything, she went into the bathroom to brush her hair. She threw it up in a ponytail and hung her towel on the hook on the door.

When Tinsley came out of the bathroom, she stopped at the foot of the bed, looking at Jax.

"Umm, we need to talk" said Tinsley.

"Bout what babe" said Jax.

"Last night" said Tinsley.

"Last night was fucking amazing. Or atleast I thought we both enjoyed it" said Jax, smirking

"Oh I think you know I enjoyed it. But that's not what we need to talk about. We didn't use a condom and I'm not on any other form of birth control. And I seem to remember you nutting at least 3 times, no one which ended with you pulling out." Said Tinsley.

"Babe..." Jax started.

"No, listen. I want kids someday but I don't know if that day is today. I know I'm jumping the gun because we could get lucky this time. All I'm saying is that I wanted you to know that by my cycle calendar, there's a very real possibility that I could end up pregnant. And if I am, I'm not getting abortion, I'm not giving it up for adoption. I'm keeping it... with or without your help" said Tinsley.

"Babe.. if you do end up pregnant, we will figure it out. I will help out anyway that I can. I would never ask you to get an abortion or to put it up for adoption. I know I asked Wendy to have one but babe, your not a crank junkie like she was. Hell, you don't even drink that much. Please babe, don't stress about it." Said Jax.

"Easier said than done" mumbled Tinsley as he walked out of the bedroom in search of her hot pink Chucks. She couldn't believe she had just completely word vomited back there. But she felt like Jax needed to know just where he head was at.

Jax got dressed and met Tinsley in the hallway where she was cleaning up the mess from last night.

"Let me give you a ride to work" said Jax. It was 4:30 already and she had 30 minutes to get to work.

"Let me get this cleaned up and I'll be ready" said Tinsley. She finished cleaning up and grabbed her purse.

"I'm ready" she said

"Ok. Let's roll" said Jax.

They walked out and she locked her door. Jax had driven the truck last night so he didn't have to worry about riding on the bike. They got to the dinner in a matter of 5 minutes and thankfully so because the ride had been full of awkward silence. Jax parked his truck in the lot and shut off the engine. Tinsley had 15 minutes before she had to be inside. She dug around in her purse looking for her name tag. She found it and pinned it to her shirt. She folded the visor down and applied some lil glass and a little eye liner while she was at it.

"Tins, I know your worried about what happened last night. I know your scared. But hear me when I say that we will figure this out. No need to stress about it just yet" said Jax.

"Jax, you're damn right I'm scared. And with good reason. You have the reputation of a ladies man who never sleeps with the same woman 2 nights in a row. I bet 2 out of ever 3 women that come though that diner door you have fucked. How am I supposed to think that some little country bumpkin from rural North Carolina is supposed to mean anything more than any other woman you've fucked. I know you say I make you feel thing that u haven't felt before but is that even for real or do you tell all the girls that just so you can get in the pants?" said Tinsley, obviously getting wound up.

"Well I remember fucking you two nights in a row" said Jax, trying time add some humor to the conversation.

"Fuck you Jax. That isn't even funny. You know what I'm trying to say and you're making fucking jokes. Tell your mom I'll be at the garage at 12. Thanks for the ride" said Tinsley as she got out of the truck, slamming the door as she did.

"Well fuck.." said Jax. That whole conversation didn't go as he wanted it to. He knew she would freak out when she realized they hadn't used a condom. Hell, he had freaked out for a minute when he realized it. But there was something about Tinsley. Again, he couldn't even begin to describe what it was that he was feeling for her but he knew he really enjoyed the feeling he felt when she was around. Taking a deep breath, he watched as she walked into the diner. He started his truck and left the lot. It was early to be at TM but he decided he needed something to do.

Pulling into the lot at TM, he saw there was some cars waiting to be worked on. No one was there at the garage yet since it was 5 in the morning. He went to the office, unlocked the door, and sifted through the work orders that were waiting. He found the ticket for the mustang in the lot. Grabbing the key for the mustang off the hook by the door, he walked out to the garage and flipped the lights on. He rolled the bay doors up and walked towards the mustang. It was a simple fix. Just needed a thermostat replaced. That wouldn't take long to fix. He drove the mustang into the garage and unlocked his tool box.

As he worked on the mustang, all thoughts went to Tinsley and her freak out this morning. He really did get she was upset. He remembered how he felt with Wendy told him she was pregnant. He didn't handle that well at all. And if we're being honest, the more he thought about the possibility of Tinsley ending up pregnant scared the shit out of him too. If she was pregnant, he would have 2 kids both under that age of one. How the hell was he going to handle that?

"Shit" said Jax.

He picked up his cell and called Tinsley. He really needed to talk to her. It rang and rang but she didn't answer so he left her a message.

"Hey babe, just calling to let you know I made it to work. Give ma call when you get a minute" said Jax.

Slipping his phone back in his pocket, he went back to work on the mustang. Within 15 minutes, he had it repaired and back together. He took the ticket back to the office and hung the key back on the hook. He was feeling anxious so he went to the club house. He walked into his apartment and stripped his clothes off as he headed for the shower. He let the spay of the water run down over him. His thoughts went back to Tinsley. She didn't ever seem to be far from them. He had known the girl for a matter of 2 days and he already couldn't stop thinking about her. Yeah, she had been in town for a few months and Jax had seen her at the diner, but until Monday, he didn't even know what her name was. He was drawn to her and he could explain why. Therewas only one person who could remember having feelings this strong for and she had left Charming at the age of 19. Last he had heard, she was in Chicago, working at the hospital as some kind of surgeon. Tara had broken his heart when she left and because of that, he decided it was easier to not get connected to anyone because if you weren't connected, you didn't have to worry about getting your heart broke. But there was something different about Tinsley. For some reason she made him feel like he wanted to try. He wanted to connect with her. He wanted to know everything little thing about her. Now he just had to convince her that he was worth taking a chance on. He finished showering and got dressed. A plan started to formulate...
