"Listen Darlin' I need to deal with her, I am going to have a prospect take you home and have your car worked on. But I will stop by on my way home to see you. We can talk then." Jax was watching Scarlet gather her clothes putting them back on in a rush. She didn't look too happy with being rushed out but coming down from the high she had embarked on, she expected nothing less from the infamous womanizer. Scarlet knew giving into him would only land her on a long list of conquest the biker god collected.

"Yeah sure." She muttered not believing him even for a moment. Shoving her bra in his chest that was ruined thanks to him, Scarlet avoided his eyes and walked out the room only to be stopped by Jax as she tried to pass him to the door. His hand almost fit in full circle around her arm, with only enough pressure to bring her back him. Jax guided her against his chest, bringing his callous thumbs to her cheeks he carefully caressed them over her silk flesh with his ocean blues, filled with sorrow, gazing down her eyes. It was the first time Scarlet seen his true tender side. A side Jackson Teller hid very well from the outside world even though it would almost kill him to have to be the man he was for his club.

Looking up shyly at him there was a brief moment of vulnerability shared between the forsaken pair. A moment where his eyes did all the talking while her heart listened. "I /will/ see you later Scar." With that simple statement he leaned down placing a sweet sentimental kiss over her lush lips.

"Okay. I guess I'll see you later then." For just a moment she dropped her guard with him, her eyes begging him not to disappoint her but her panties ready to melt right back off regardless of the outcome. Jax shot her a quick wink before pushing open the doors that led to the clubhouse. Everyone seemed to look back at them as they walked out but no one spoke. Jax watched Scarlet make her way to Snake who glanced back taking his leader's request with a simple nod of his head. "Take me home babysitter." Scarlet confirmed with a defeated sigh already making her way out the clubhouse, ending the show for everyone who watched fully invested in the offset of events that had taken place.

She didn't really believe that Jax was going to show up. She wanted to believe it but she knew better then to assume he would. He held no real obligation to her and to what right should he? Scarlet allowed herself to act like every other drenched pussy that gawked and awed at the Charming King, she knew she would be treated no different even if the thought tore her apart. Instead of dwelling on it all Scarlet went about her day, showering first then went back to packing up the house.

Her mind wondered off to the earlier events, She was angry with herself for caving in the way she did but she couldn't wrap her head around how fucking good it was. She had never had a man make her cum vaginally and that was with him not even focusing on her raw passion between them was what sent her over the edge. It's what drove her to act in such a careless way, a way she had never caved into before. Scarlet had never really had someone care enough to even run after her, let alone deal with her shit the way Jax had just done. Something about Jax had a hold over Scarlet, she threatened to leave in hopes he would force her to stay. Maybe it was the fact she stumbled over a whole family who she desperately wanted to be part of but would never say it outloud let alone let them hear that. She swore to him she had no feelings but it was all one huge lie. There was something not pulling her to him, but yanking forcefully. She wondered if it was the fact he was so close to her late father or because he technically had everything she silently dreamed of. She had this itching, nagging need to be around him without really being there. The letter she found was just an excuse to see him. It was nothing of importance, not that Jax would see anyway. To Scarlet it was a connection, a life line between her and Jax.

It is not like Scarlet had thought they would fall in love, she didn't believe there was such a thing as a happy ever after. She never had it growing up, she never felt it with anyone she dated although she did once think she was in love until that turned to ash right before her eyes. She always declared that people used lust as an anchor to say they were in love but never really knew what it actually meant to love someone. The closest she felt to any sort of love was by Otto but that was short lived and far in between.

No, she didn't expect Jax to burst through the doors to confess his love but she did believe the two would be a good match in taking down the fools that took her father from them both. Maybe deep down she wanted something more from Jax but she would never let those feelings surface no matter how strong they became. Above everything else protecting herself was first on her list. Jackson Teller was not a faithful man, loyal to a fault but she saw it in his eyes he could care for her but not even he trusted himself with her. Scarlet didn't trust herself with him but for separate reasons. The two of them were ticking timebombs they would only end up hurting each other, right?

Her deep thoughts had been cut off by a loud knock on the door. Before Scarlet could set the box down on the floor that she was struggling to hold the door opened. "Well look at that the man /can/ keep a promise." She smirked turning around to see Gemma standing in under the archway of the living room. Scarlet's smile faded letting out a groan as she knew whatever his mother had to say was not positive.

There she stood, the infamous Gemma, the mother lion of the club. Scarlet crossed her arms while Otto's warning played on repeat yet again. 'Don't let her give you shit but do not give her shit' Gemma pulled her sunglasses off placing them in her hair glancing around the battered home where her best friend used to live.

"Decorating huh? Luann never really did get over having tacky things. Listen, sweetheart we need to talk."

She walked in still looking around, Scarlet noticed the slight frown when Gemma looked at a picture that was left on the wall. It was Otto and Luann's wedding picture of them all together. Everyone in the photo was dead besides Gemma ironically.

"I don't see about what, Gemma. I know what you saw was wrong but it won't happen again. I don't need a lecture, you didn't have to come down here." Scarlet stood with her arms crossed watching Gemma be nosy looking around the house.

Gemma's brow slowly arched turning back to look at Scarlet with a daring glare. "You are going to hear what I need to say like it or not darlin'." The need to argue back began to surface, Scar was about to ask Gemma to leave but then the matriarch began to speak again. "You are family. Any daughter of Otto's might as well be a daughter of mine. I see the way Jax looks at you. I have seen that look before. He doesn't need to have his head wrapped up in pussy again. He has a job to do and it's hard enough without new pussy dangling in his face."

Scarlet scoffed a laugh at the modest threat Gemma had laid out for her. She smiled at the older mature woman before her thinking each word carefully before she let each one drop like miniature bombs blowing back in Gemma's face. "Even I know you can not keep that man from what he wants, I didn't go after him, he came after me. Both times it was on his move. Whatever look you see him give me should be your indication to leave it alone. I have no plans to hold that man down. I have my own job to do and then I will be gone."

Both woman glared at one another, Gemma shifted on her heel shrugging Scarlet's words off like pieces of loose dirt. "You ready to be a mom?" She spit out, taking a step closer to Scarlet trying to intimidate the younger woman. "Huh? You ready to make sure both boys are fed and have clean clothes? You think you are old lady material? Sweetheart you won't last another week. You are not cut out for this life. Why else do you think Otto kept you from it?"

The tension began to thicken in the room while Scarlet allowed Gemma to batter her with her words.. Scarlet's patience began to wear thin though she knew Gemma was right; she had never even held a child. "What is the matter, Gemma? Worried someone else is going to come in and take those boys, someone younger who can keep up with them? You think Jax wants to keep sucking the dust out your nipple when he could have someone like me?" Scarlet glanced at her father's wedding photo knowing she was about to cross a fine line but the girl was not used to threats or being told she couldn't do something. "You are on borrowed time, No?" Scarlet gestured to the photo where Gemma now stood out sorely. "What happens between Jax and I is between us, your opinion has no effect. It was heard, but has no barrier on what may or may not happen so I suggest you leave before you piss your son off more then I think you already have."

Gemma's eyes narrowed in on Scarlet for a long moment. She could feel the desperation radiate from Gemma's soul wanting to end Scarlet. No other words where exchanged but the rivalry between the young crow and the older one was clearly born.
