"Jax?" I said as he walked past me.
"Yeah?"
"Can you give this to mom?" I asked, holding the bowl of pasta out for him to take.
"Can't you?"
I rolled my eyes and he laughed.
"Give it here." He grinned, he's always enjoyed shit-stirring me.
He took the plate in to mom & Chibs walked in.
"Hey, what's cooking?"
"Pasta." I smiled, not being able to look at him.
My cheeks were so red from blushing.
"Mm, smells good. Secret recipe?" He grinned, eating a piece off my wooden spoon.
I watched his lips close & chew slowly, making me feel really really hot in this kitchen.
"Oh god, that's amazing." He groaned, grabbing another piece.
I smiled up at him & he grinned.
"You'll have to give me the recipe."
"It'll cost you." I smiled & he grinned down at me.
"I see. I'm sure we can work something out?"
I smiled & he grinned, leaving the kitchen & I started breathing properly again.
I fanned myself & splashed some water on my face, then joined everyone at the dinner table.
I need to go home & read the bible.
Holy.
"Thank you honey for this beautiful meal tonight." Mom smiled at me & I sat beside Jax.
"No worries."
Everyone began eating & telling me how good it was, then I heard my phone ring.
I quickly left the table & ran to the bathroom with it.
"Hello, Jade speaking."
"Hi Jade, it's Michelle from Interior Design School, how are you?"
"Oh I'm great thank you, yourself?"
"Really good thanks love, Jade I'm just ringing to let you know you've been accepted into our academy."
"Oh that's incredible, thank you so much for this."
"My pleasure hun, we cannot wait to have you! You have a fabulous night."
"Thank you so much, you too."
I ended the call & squealed, jumping around.
"What are you doing?" Mom asked, looking at me with a smile on her face.
"I got accepted into interior design college."
"Oh congrats baby."
I grinned and we walked back to the table & sat down.
"Sorry, just had to take that." I said with a big grin on my face.
Jax laughed, shaking his head at the clear excitement on my face & Clay raised his eyebrows.
"Well do you wanna tell us what's put a bounce in your step?"
I grinned and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.
"I got accepted into the school of interior designing." I said, trying to keep my smile at bay.
"Congrats Jadey, what's interior design?" Tig asked, eating more of his pasta.
Jax laughed & I shoved him.
He pushed me back & I groaned, slapping his arm.
"Hey." Clay said, looking between us.
Jax stood on my foot under the table & I tried to pull my foot out from under his.
"Interior design is enhancing the inside of a building to be healthier & more aesthetically pleasing by combining art & science."
"Interesting." Tig smiled and I grinned.
"You still don't know what I'm talking about?"
"Not a clue." He laughed and everyone else grinned.
I laughed at him & Jax still had his foot on me.
I pinched his leg under the table & he kicked the leg of it, making the food all fall off.
I covered my mouth to stop my laughter & Clay glared at Jax.
"Jade..." Jax started but was cut off before he could blame me.
"That was your fault." Clay growled, glaring at Jax.
I looked at Jax & he groaned, getting up & walking off.
I smiled down at my hands & seen Bobby grin.
"Well, anyone want some pizza?"
— 1 hour later —
We were sat around the fire eating pizza & I smiled.
"Why don't we all go around saying what we're thankful for?" I said, making the guys groan.
"Good idea babe." Mom laughed and started off.
"I'm thankful for this family." She said & Clay hugged her to his side.
"Jax?" She said & he grinned at me.
"Little sisters..."
"Aww." Tig laughed & I smiled.
"... who don't piss me off every minute they breathe." He finished & we all burst into laughter.
"Jax." Mom laughed & I smiled.
"Bobby?"
"I'm grateful for whores."
I rolled my eyes and the guys all raised their beers.
Of course.
"I'm grateful for Opie's beard." Tig said & Opie grinned, rubbing it.
"Jadey?" Clay said, guess it was my turn.
"I'm grateful for the people in my life." I said & the boys all raised their beers.
"Good one Jadey." Chibs grinned, hugging my side.
Oh good god.
He's being extra touchy now & I cannot handle the thoughts going through my head.
"I'm grateful for my brothers." Chibs said & Clay patted him on the back.
"Dad?" I called to Clay & he smiled.
"I'm grateful for bikes."
The boys all cheered & I smiled.
Just a bunch of grateful who're-loving brothers, who get drunk & ride together.
