hard to love

chapter 110

"Babe tell me."

"Not sure what you're looking for Alex." Alexis said shrugging her shoulders

Tig moved so he was standing in front of her "Please tell me what's going through my head isn't true? My baby and my--my best friend." Tig shook his head getting angry at the thought.

She laughed "Honey."

"Dont you honey me Lex!."

"Lets go boys" Clay said walking to the double doors of church.

Once the doors were shut Alexis quietly walked to the table Gemma, Lyla and Taylor were sitting at. She sat down next to Gemma, across from Taylor.

"Your dad has figured it out." She figured the quicker she got it out it gave Taylor more time to prepare and figure out how to keep this situation calm.

"Figured what out." Lyla asked

"How?" Taylor asked
"He hasn't taken his eyes off of you since we landed. You haven't been very subtle. I've done my best to distract him and stop him from whole heartedly realizing it. But he knows, he's in denial."

Lyla looked between the three confused.

"Denial there's nothing to be in denial about."

"Sweetheart he's not believing it's his best friend." Gemma told Taylor making Lyla look stunned.

"Holy shit."

"What you told him?" Taylor glared at Alexis.

"No you checking on him, him calming you, holding hands told him. I just told you I tried to distract him and calm him."

The church doors came open the guys piled out joking while Tig was at the back watching his daughter watch him. He poured himself a drink looking between his daughter and Happy, glaring at him.

"Ly I'm gonna need you to leave." Taylor said glancing at her before looking back at her Dad.

"What n-"

"Im going to just tell him, kinda late but still. Shit might get thrown, broke and fists will probably swing. You cant move fast and I dont know how this is gonna go."

Taylor looked at Happy then to her dad. Happy already knew Tig had been watching him since they were in the van. He walked up to Taylor.

"No here Tay. Tell him in private, we both do."

"He knows Hap."

"Okay we confirm in private."

Taylor nodded then looked at Gemma "Im gonna go home, I need a long shower and nap in my own bed."

"I can keep the twins if you want?"

"No, I want to take them with me. Maybe see if Ope or someone wants to hang out with them while I get myself back together."

"You sure baby?"

"I dont want them away from me for a while, if ever again."

Gemma understood and didn't want to push Taylor to relax even if she thought she needed to.

"Im taking the kids to the house. Going to try and relax." Taylor told her dad which made everyone look.

"Alright, I can keep the kids so you can."

"No. We are going do I need and escort?"

"Come on baby you need a minute."

"Dad I've had long enough time with out them, they're not leaving me please stop."

Tig hung his head "sorry baby I'm just trying to help you. I'll come with you."

"You don't have to, stay with Alexis you've missed her for a long time daddy."

"You don't want the twins away from you and I don't want you away from me so I'm going baby."

"I have my truck I can drive yall home." Opie spoke up.

"Can you drive them and I ride with dad?"

Taylor loved riding a bike whether it was driving one or "riding bitch" both were freeing to her. It was a natural high. Tig made sure he followed Opie who took the long way back to Taylors. They both knew she needed the ride.
