Fly By Night | Sons of Anarchy Fanfiction | Jax Teller x OC

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Jax sauntered through the hallway of Sweet Productions riding on a high. Not only was he dropping by to scoop his old lady up for lunch, but they had some very important errands to run during her lunch break too. And luckily, nobody in the club had batted an eye that they were the ones running these particular club errands today. In the week since family dinner at Gemma's house, the dust had finally seemed to settle, at least for the most part.

Piney was still being an asshole. Still glaring daggers whenever their lawyer came up in conversation. Still looking like he wanted to wrap his oxygen tank cord around Jax's neck and strangle him. Everyone else seemed willing to at least ride it out for the time being, especially in light of how the vote on King had played out, although he got the feeling Tig, Chibs, and Happy still weren't 100 percent on board. They were still pretty impassive, still pretty wary whenever Allie's name or her position within the club - either of them - came up in conversation.

Not like anyone had anything to worry about. Allie had been hard at work, digging for some business leads for them and tomorrow, she was going to present those leads to the club. This would also be the first time she was back inside the clubhouse since she'd dropped off all her intel on Caruso and her report on King.

He figured, if it was up to her, she'd probably prefer to keep her distance from the clubhouse for a little bit longer, but it wasn't like she was showing up for a party. This was business, and she had a job to do for them anyway. In his mind, the sooner they could all get back to doing what they did best, the better. And, the sooner the rest of the club could just get their heads out of their asses about this, the better. They needed to be reminded that she was the best lawyer they'd ever had, and ever would have, and that she really had the club's best interest in mind. That being said, given the way Tig, Chibs, and Happy still felt about all this, they would also conveniently be out on a run tomorrow too. At this point, he didn't feel like pushing it. All they needed was some more time.

But he had made a point not to hide any phone conversations he had with Allie when he was in the clubhouse, and he'd been sure to drop a few I love yous when people were within earshot. Lately, though, it seemed like he was just at the clubhouse during the day, during normal work hours. The only night he'd spent away from her had been last Friday, and that was unavoidable because he couldn't miss a Friday night at the clubhouse, especially not right now.

Right now, he just needed to come and go the way he normally did. Although, he had to admit being at the clubhouse on Friday would've been a lot more fun if Allie had been there too. He'd spent the whole night trying to keep himself from texting or calling her, waiting until he finally passed out in his dorm, and...the night had just dragged, mainly because it seemed like every goddamn croweater in the place had offered to take their clothes off for him. He'd been almost constantly batting them away and pushing them off on someone else, to the point where he just called it a night, retreated to his dorm, and locked his door behind him.

Sometime soon, he needed to get Allie to the clubhouse for a Friday night party. Maybe not next Friday or the one after that, but as soon as she was even sort of coming around to the idea, he just needed to get her there.

With that thought, he knocked on the door to Allie's office, tipping his chin to Dan and Adrian as they passed him in the hallway.

"Hi, friend," Dan waved to him brightly.

"'Sup, bro," Jax grinned at him, shaking his head a little at Dan's attire.

Dan and Adrian were clearly on their way to a set, if their skin tight boxing shorts and greased up, hairless chests were any indication. Adrian, for his part, waved a little sheepishly...and maybe that was fair. Especially considering Jax had accidentally, and very literally, bumped into him on his way out of the upstairs bathroom in the middle of the night, and especially considering both of them had been shirtless and only wearing boxers at the time. Yeah, it hadn't taken long for that to get weird at all.
