The Blessing Of Lennon Morrow (In Editing)

Chapter 8: FUNdraiser

It has been a week since Jax told me about the club. My anger went away and now I was coming to terms with it. I was in the clubhouse with Tig, Bobby, Opie, Piney and the prospect when Dad, Jax and someone I didn't recognize walked in. "Who's that?" I asked Tig. "Chuck, he is our temporary business partner." Tig said. "Do you really have 400 thousand stashed away?" Dad asked as he and Chuck sat down at the bar. "Yeah Lin was real sloppy with his money. So I ran his books for about a year. I started to skim a little, hoping he'd fire me. When no one noticed, I kept on skimming." Chuck said. "How did you get caught?" Dad asked. "Lin's lawyer caught on, I got scared so I turned myself in and cut a deal." Chuck said. "So you're a thief and a rat." Dad said. "I accept that." The guy said then all of a sudden my eyes were covered by Tig. I tried to pull his hands away from my face, with no luck.

"Get your hand of out your god damn pants, we have kids that come around here." I heard Jax's voice say. "Sorry it's a condition, I didn't get the right medication in Stockton." I heard the guy say then my eyes were uncovered. "If I see your hands in your pants again, I'm gonna tie you up and throw you in the closet." Dad said. "I accept that." The guy said. "Why don't you go with Ma to the school, help her set up." Jax suggested. "Okay." I said cheerfully. "I'll walk you out." Jax said then we walked outside. A black car came into the garage, Jax gave me a hug. "I have to go check on something, I'll see you at the fundraiser." Jax said as he gave me a hug. I hugged him back then I walked over to Ma who was in the office. "Are you leaving?" I asked. "I'm getting ready to." Ma said as she picked up her keys. "Do you need help setting up?" I asked. "Always." Ma said.

I got into Ma's car then I put my seat belt on, as we were pulling out of the garage I saw hug then kiss Tara, the doctor that I had met before. On the way to the fundraiser Ma and I talked. "Can I ask you a question, about Jax?" I asked her. "Of course, what's your question?" Ma asked. "Is he dating the doctor?" I asked. "I'm not sure, why? Do you not like the idea of him dating?" Ma asked. "No I'm fine with him dating, I just thought he would of told me." I said. "I'm sure that it is nothing to worry about." Ma said. "Okay." I said. "If he was dating anyone, he would tell you. He wouldn't get serious with anyone without your approval." Ma said. "My approval?" I asked confused. "You're a huge part of his life, he wouldn't jump into a serious relationship without telling you." Ma said, I smiled.

When we got to the school I helped Ma and Luann set up their Chili booth. I saw Lacey so I decided to go hang out with her. We were walking pass the kissing booth when Lacey noticed that I was looking at the guy who was behind the booth. "Ohh Lennon has a crush." Lacey teased me, I blushed. "Come on." Lacey said as she took my hand. "Where are we going?" I asked. "To the kissing booth." Lacey said with a mischievous smile. Lacey handed the guy in the kissing booth a dollar then she me pushed towards him. He kissed me lightly, I continued the kiss. I started making out with him when I was pulled away, I turned around to see Jax. "Heyy." I said sweetly. "What's going on here?" Jax asked with his arms crossed, he tends to get protective when it comes to boys. "Raising money for the school." I said. Jax was about to speak when Ma walked over to us. "Hey girls, why don't you girls go get some Chili?" Ma said. "Stay away from the kissing booth." Jax said. "No promises." Lacey joked as we walked away.
