Leather & Lace: A Sons of Anarchy Fanfic

Chapter 19

Jax and Tinsley woke the next morning tangled in each other's arms. After a quick round love making, they grabbed a shower. Jax finished in the shower before she did since she needed to shave. He got dressed and headed off to the kitchen to make some coffee for them both. When Tinsley was done, she toweled off, and walked into the bedroom to decide what to wear. She decided on a pair of denim shorts and one of Jax's white SAMCRO shirts. She found her white belt and knotted the shirt so that her midriff was exposed. She went into the bathroom and applied some makeup and put on some 3 inch hoops, leaving her hair down. Before leaving the bedroom, she found her white chucks and slipped them on her feet. She was ready for the day. Today was the day of the big town fundraiser.

As she walked down the hallway, she stopped in front of what was going to be Abel's room. Jax had already painted it a soft blue with white trim. His rocking chair was in the corner. On the other side of the room, Abel's crib was still in the box, waiting to be assembled. She walked over the rocking chair and took a seat. She let her and Jax's conversation from last night run through her mind. He wanted her to move in. He wanted her to help raise Abel. He loved her. Was she ready for any of this? Would she be a good mom to Abel ? She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice Jax had came into the room.

"What you thinking about?" Asked Jax.

"Last night" said Tinsley.

"What about it?" Said Jax.

"Mostly about Abel. Jax I'm scared to death that I won't be good enough for him. What if he doesn't like me? What if he won't let me take care of him?" Asked Tinsley.

"Baby, there is no way in hell that he won't love you." Said Jax.

"How can you be sure? This is a kids life we're talking about here. I don't want to be responsible for screwing that up" said Tinsley.

"Baby, I'm scared to death too. I don't know anything about kids. I always wanted kids but only when the time was right. I guess someone else thought I needed Abel now instead of later" said Jax.

Tinsley got up from the chair and walked across the room and into his arms. Jax stroked the top of her hair.

"Tinsley, I love you. My mom loves you. Abel will love you. We both will have to learn a lot but I wouldn't want to do this with anyone but you" said Jax.

"How do you always know the right things to say!" Asked Tinsley.

"I'm just speaking from the heart" said Jax.

They stood like that for a few minutes longer. Both leaning on each other. This was going to be an adventure for them both.

*****************************************

Tinsley and Jax drove separately to the school for the fundraiser. Jax said he had some club business to handle and would need his bike but didn't want to leave her without a way to leave. Driving the Tahoe was like second nature to her. She grew up driving her dad's F-250 all over town.

Pulling to to the lot of the school, Tinsley parked the Tahoe. She checked her hair and make up in the mirror, grabbed her purse and got out of the car, sliding her phone into her back pocket. She walked towards the tent that TM had set up.

"Hey Gemma." Said Tinsley.

"Hey baby" said Gemma.

"What can I do to help?" Asked Tinsley.

"Stack these bowls and cups for me. Chili is almost done. Oh, and make sure to let Wayne know to make sure the bus parking lot stays empty. The senior center is coming and they love to gamble. TM is raffling off 4 tickets to Disney Land." Said Gemma.

"Ok, but who's Wayne?" Said Tinsley.

"Sorry, Wayne Unser. He's the sheriff" said Gemma.

"Ok, I know who you're talking about now. Those tickets are sure to be a big item. How much do you think you will raise doing this"? Asked Tinsley.

"I'm not sure. Hopefully we raise a good amount. It's doing to the music department at the school." Said Gemma.

"That's a good place for it" said Tinsley.

"Yea.  I think so too" said Gemma.

"Alright, I'm going to go find Unser and tell him what you said" I'll be right back." Said Tinsley.

She walked over to the tent Charming PD had set up. She found Unser and relayed Gemma's message. He promised to take care of it.

Tinsley started walking back towards the tent when someone stepped in front of her blocking her path. She looked up, realization making her dizzy.

"Hello Tinsley" said Mason.

Tinsley tried to run away but he grabbed her by the arm. He was holding her so tight that knew she would have a bruise the shape of his fingers on her arm. Jax was sure to flip his lid.

"Where do you think your going? Don't even think about screaming because it's only going to make this worse" said Mason.

"What do you want?" Asked Tinsley.

"I want you to come home" said Mason.

"This is my home" said Tinsley.

"Bullshit. This isn't you at all Tinsley. Look at the way you're dressed. You look like some kind of slut" said Mason.

Tinsley thought she looked good. Jax had told her just how good she looked before leaving his house in fact.

"Mason, you need to leave. Please. There are police here and they are going to see what you are doing." Said Tinsley.

"Oh we're leaving" said Mason as he drug her by the arm to his rental car.

"Please don't do this Mason" pleaded Tinsley.

"Shut the fuck up. I told you when I found you, you would be sorry" hisses Mason.

He opened the door to the rental car and shoved her into the passenger seat.

"Don't fucking move" said Mason.

Tinsley was scared to death. She couldn't even begin to get her brain to tell her legs to move. She finally knew what the phrase "paralyzed by fear" meant. Mason rounded the car and climbed in. Putting the car in gear, he left the lot and headed off out of town. They rode for what seemed like forever but it was really only a mile or two. Time seemed to stand still. She needed to find a way to get out of this.

As they rounded a curve, the sight of motorcycles had her spirits lifting. It was the club. Reaching over she started blaring on the horn causing Mason to swerve all over the road. She lost her grip on the wheel. Mason backhanded her, knocking her into the passenger side door. Drawing her legs up, she kicked him with one while she used the other to shield herself. She managed to land one kick on the side of head, but before she could pull it back, he grabbed it.

"Oh your going to pay for that you stupid bitch" said Mason.

Tinsley could feel her phone in her pocket vibrating. She didn't want to chance going of it. He noticed out the back glass that the club had turned around and was after them. She might be saved just yet.

Mason saw the bikes too and stomped on the gas. He weaved in and out of traffic, nearly hitting multiple cars. Mason took a curve too fast. The car began to skip.

"Now look at what you did" seethed Mason.

The car continued to skid. The sound of rocks under the tires reminded her of the danger she was in.m. The hillside got closer and closer. The passenger side door was headed right for the hillside. And then everything went black.
