Leather & Lace: A Sons of Anarchy Fanfic

Chapter 75

After Tinsley was calmed down, she walked towards the elevators that would carry her up to see Willow. She knew she was technically banned from the building but decided to test her luck. She was just getting into elevator when someone called her name. Turning, she looked for the voice and found herself staring at Kevin, Tara's husband. Shit thought Tinsley. She didn't want to get into it with him. Not today and especially not after the phone call she had just had. Her nerves were already on edge and she wasn't up for any kind of altercation with anyone. Hoping to avoid it, she quickly hit the button that would close the doors but they didn't close fast enough. Kevin stick his hand inside just before they were fully closed. He walked into the elevator and Tinsley considered getting out. She knew he was going to confront her about the fight she and Tara had early this morning. Looking at him, he didn't seem pissed. He didn't look like he held anything against her when seemed odd to her. She didn't know know but he didn't look like he was pisses either.

Deciding to just get this over with, she stayed on the elevator and braced herself for what was to come whether it was good or bad.

"Hello Mrs. Teller." Said Kevin.

"Hey" said Tinsley.

"I thought you were banned from the building". Said Kevin.

"Oh you know, just testing my luck. Plus I need to grab my keys and purse since I wasn't allowed to get them last night." Said Tinsley.

They both stayed silent for a moment but it was Kevin who spoke first.

"You know, I know Tara is a bitch. I know her being back here hasn't been easy for you and Jax. She didn't go into detail about what happened but let me just say, if she was out of line, thank you for doing what I have wanted to do for some time now. She has made my life a living hell these past few weeks. I didn't want her to come back her. I didn't want her to tell Ava I wasn't her dad" said Kevin.

"Why don't you just leave her?" Asked Tinsley. She knew it wasn't any of her business but it was a legitimate question and anyone in their right mind would ask.

"Because I love her and I love Ava even though she isn't mine. When Tara and I got together, Ava was still a baby. I'm the only dad she has ever known. That's why I didn't wart her to tell Ava. I knew this would only hurt Ava in the long run.But when Tara heard about you and Jax getting married, she lost it. It's like someone flipped a switch in her. She didn't care that I didn't want her to come here. She didn't care that telling Ava I wasnt her dad was going to hurt her. She didn't care about anything. She's obsessed." Said Kevin.

"Who are you telling? She told me last night and numerous times before that she would do whatever she had to do to get Jax back. I understand that you love her and that you love Ava, but staying with her and putting up with her bullshit is the last thing you need. No one deserves to be treated as second best. I don't know you all that well but it says a lot for your character that you have helped raise Ava as your own. It's says a lot that to that even though your wife left yalls life, you cane with her because you love her. Again, she doesn't deserve you and you damn sure don't deserve be treated like shit because she has some disillusioned idea that she's going to get back with an ex." Said Tinsley.

"I know. But it's just so hard to give up on ten years" said Kevin.

"I know what you mean. I've been there. It took me moving here and leaving everything I've ever know before I knew what true happiness was" said Tinsley.

The doors to the elevator opened and Tinsley walked out. Kevin didn't get off the elevator. She figured he was going up to see Tara. Before the doors could shut on the elevator, Kevin stuck his hand in front of the door to keep it from closing.
