CHAPTER SIXTEEN

While Jax drove his truck to my place, I'm lost in thought. I'm thinking about my aunt, but more so about what he said about making an honest woman out of me.

"What you thinking about Angel?" He asked and then places his hand in mine bringing it up to his lips. I'm watching him as he does this too.

"Nothing, nothing much, I guess."
I end up shrugging my shoulder like it's no big deal, but he's too observant for his own good.
"Now do you want to tell me what's really going on in that beautiful head of yours? Baby, if it's about what happened back there you know with your aunts. Trust me, it's okay. I've heard worse stuff being around my mum and her friends."
He chuckled, and I grin. Then after taking in a deep breath, I nod, telling him I was.
"But I swear, they're not normally that much, you know? I don't know what's going on with Lina. I mean, she's not normally like that. Hell, especially not in front of me. It wouldn't be so bad, but she's seeing someone. Well, for her to get that excited about this calendar, I have to tell you, I'm worried in case she makes a fool of herself. Shit, that's bad! That's really bad. She's my aunt. I shouldn't be saying this about her. I guess I'm just worried you know?"
He nods, telling me he understands.

"Angel, I get it. I really do, but your aunt is a grown woman. People do and say some crazy stuff just, don't worry about her. She's a big girl and if you're worried about next week? Well, then I'll have a word with the lads. You know, make sure they back off, but I have to ask is it a happy relationship? Not that it's an excuse, but you if you don't know what's going on Well, we can't really call it can we."

I'm nodding, understanding what he's saying, but still, it's strange for me to see. As for her relationship; to be honest, I've only ever met him once. He's quite a stay out of the way kinda guy. I tell Jax, this too. He sends me a look, one that says, it's not our concern, but that's easier said than done, especially when it's your family. I just don't want her to you know get hurt.
I don't know. I guess I need to back off. She says it's none of my business.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you my parents and a few of my aunts and uncles are coming up here for the ball in a few days. So you'll eventually get to meet them all."
Oh shit! Oh, fuck!

"Oh god, Jax, what if. Shit, what if they don't like me?"
He chuckled and kissed my hand again after telling me, they'll love me.
"Angel, I love you so they'll love you too."
My stomach literally flips just after hearing his words. Shit, I hope you're right on this one. As I think this, he pulled the car to a stop. That's when I realise we're home.

"I'll be in the stables. I need to change their water and put some fresh hay in too."
I end that by placing a chest kiss on his lips which he attempts to deepen, but I pull away before he gets the chance. I don't know why, but I run from him. I've honestly no clue why? I can only assume it's his "quick dismissal" of my aunt. That or the fact, I'm still hearing his words; the honest woman stuff. I mean, as much as I'd love that and I know he said, we're just getting to know each other first.
I don't know. I guess I'm just freaking out a little. I mean, I'm still coming to terms that he loves me. It's just a lot to soak in.

Anyway, while in Stars pen, I'm singing away while filling her water up. That's when I felt hands move around my waist. When I hear him, I end up giggling.

"Christ, that backside of yours. Baby, you need to wear these shorts from now on when you're doing this." He said while moving his hand to where I love him to touch.
"Are you saying I don't look good in my grey sweats?"

"Trust me, you look good in anything, but I've been standing watching you for the past ten minutes and I'm hard as fuck. Seriously, you're not allowed out in public with these babies on, especially when I'm not around. Shit. I can almost see what you had for breakfast."
