Falling for My Best Friend - Jax
Description: After a number of butchered dates, you get drunk and stoned(crossfaded) with Jax who tells you you're looking for love in all the wrong places.
I sat down at the bar in the clubhouse, telling the prospect to get me a beer. It was a Thursday night and the doors of the Church were closed so I assumed the guys were in a meeting.
"Jax said if you showed up not to let you leave til he saw you," the kid said as he handed me the bottle. I nodded as I took a drink. I stared at my hands wrapped loosely around the bottle and grew more frustrated by the second.
The door to the church opened and everyone piled out. Jax was at the back of the line, talking to Clay as he stared at the ground and smoked.
"Hey there kiddo," my uncle Piney said as he walked up to the bar with my cousin Opie in tow. I nodded to them as Jax looked at me and instantly walked over.
"That bad?" He asked.
"Third fucked up date in as many weeks," I said. I could feel my eyes brimming with tears as Jax led me down the hall to his room. He locked the door behind us and we sat down on the bed as my tears started.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Two different paths in life. He wants to settle down and get married. Have a few kids. You know. I need adventure and sure maybe marriage and kids one day but I need to live while I can," I said. Jax nodded a little as I leaned into him.
"I'm just frustrated with trying to find the right one ya know. Everyone else in Charming found the one in high school," I said.
"Not me," he said.
"You'd still be with Tara if you had the chance," I said.
"Not anymore," he said so softly I almost missed it.
"You know what I mean," I said. "This town makes you feel like being single at 25 means you're an old maid."
He chuckled a little and handed me a joint. He lit it while I held it and before long we were once again stoned and laying in his bed together.
We weren't this close until Tara left him and I was the one to pull him out of the slump. Opie and I would drag him out to terrorize Charming with us and he got over her slowly but surely. He hasn't been with anyone since. He and I, however, have been close since then. We've been stoned and drunk together so many times I've lost count but it never led anywhere between us.
"What if you're looking in the wrong place," Jax said.
"What?" I asked.
"For your perfect match or whatever," Jax said. I giggled at the words leaving his mouth. They didn't belong in the mouth of the VP of an MC.
"Where do you propose I look?"
"Maybe he's here, in the MC," he said.
"There's exactly one guy my Uncle Piney and Opie would approve of," I said. "You're well aware of that."
"Maybe he's the one I mean," he said. I stared at him, my mouth slightly open in shock.
"What are you saying Jackson?" I asked. He leaned over, causing me to lean back until he was hovering over me.
"Maybe you're not having any luck with your dates cause you're in love with me," he said.
I tried pushing him away from me.
"No, no, it's okay. I love you too," he said.
"Jax you're stoned," I said.
"Not that stoned," he said, leaning down to kiss me.
"One date," he said. "Just give me one date to prove I'm right."
"Fine, but if you fuck it up, Piney will put you six feet in the ground."
Jax chuckled a little at that before leaning back down to kiss me.
