"Good morning." Someone screams waking me up.
I groan and continue to nuzzle into Jax.
"Its Thanksgiving and our first day off all year, GET UP." someone continues to shout but it's to early and I'm not in the mood for the shouting.
Its definitely Gio shouting and never have I wanted to punch someone in the face so hard.
"Gio fuck off." Jax groans causing Gio to gasp.
"We've got lots to do today in order to contain a perfect Thanksgiving so get up. Amara is already downstairs making breakfast." Gio says and I sit up making Jax groan again.
"Alright we'll be down in a bit." I say and he nods and heads out.
I climb out of bed and head towards the bathroom.
"What you doing?" Jax asks and I laugh.
"I'm getting ready." I say and he sighs.
"No let's go down to breakfast in our pyjamas for once please." He says making me laugh.
I put my hair up then head towards the door to Alannah's room.
"Put a t-shirt on." I say as I open Alannah's bedroom door.
I move to Alannah's bedside and start to wake her up. It took a minute or two before she sat up properly. She rubbed her eyes and yawned straight away before climbing into my arms.
I met Jax in his room and we headed to the kitchen to see what was going on for breakfast.
Amara was indeed in the kitchen making breakfast whilst Gio was sat at the island watching her with his head rested on his head.
Matteo and Rocco were also here talking by the fridge drinking some water.
"Mornimg everyone." Jax announces as we step into the kitchen.
"Morning." They say back in sync making me smile.
"So what's for breakfast?" Jax asks whilst we sit at the island.
"Pancakes isn't obvious." Gio says and Alannah let's out a high pitched squeal.
"Do you want any help Amara?" I ask and she shakes her head no.
"You guys can head into the dinning room, it'll only be a few more minutes." Amara says.
After breakfast we head back upstairs to get ready. Jax watched Alannah whilst I got a shower and got dressed.
I wore a long cheetah print skirt with a black crop top. I head back into Jax's room and Jax kisses my cheek before heading into the bathroom. I quickly do my makeup whilst Alannah watched YouTube on my phone.
Once I was ready I make the bed and take Alannah in her room and get her ready.
I picked out a black dress with an orangey brown cardigan for her to wear. I then sat her between my legs and carefully brushed her hair before doing a half up- half down style in her hair.
After getting ready we head back downstairs to sort out all the arrangements.
Everyone looked amazing actually, it was so weird to see everyone outside of their normal attire.
Amara was wearing a white dress that had black polka dots and was quite tight fitted. She then also had on an orangy brown jacket. Her makeup was also quite natural and her naturally straight black hair had been curled on the ends and she looked amazing.
The boys were all wearing similar outfits.
Jax was wearing black trousers and a camel coloured sweater.
Gio was wearing black jeans and a sweatshirt that matched the colour of Amara's jacket.
Matteo was also wearing black jeans a white top and a black denim jacket.
It was just Rocco that surprised me the most. He was wearing grey, white and black checked trousers with a plain white t-shirt just typing away on his phone.
"So whose actually cooking dinner? Have we planned this or..." I say waiting for someone to tell me what was going on.
"I don't mind cooking." Amara says and I furrow my eyebrows.
"You made breakfast." I say and she shrugs.
"I'll do it." Rocco says and I look over to him to see him putting his phone away.
"Do you know how to cook a Thanksgiving meal?" Jax asks and he scoffs.
"Of course, I'm not an idiot." Rocco says.
"I can help as well, I know what to do." I say and Matteo takes a deep breath.
"That makes me feel more comfortable." He says making me roll my eyes.
Now that I'm gonna spend most of the day on the kitchen cooking Jax was taking care of Alannah.
Rocco had began seasoning the Turkey whilst I was talking with Jax.
"Do you want any help with that?" I ask and he shakes his head no.
"I'll be okay." He says and I look around wondering where to start.
The dinner preparation had started and it was quiet in here. Me and Rocco weren't exactly best of friends, we don't have much to talk about.
Whilst waiting for the food I had started to cook I took a seat at the island.
"You know, you didn't strike me as the type of person that would help prepare the food." I say and he scoffs.
"Why? Because I'm a murderer." He says and my eyes widen.
"No not because you're a highly trained assassin, because you're a man and especially when everyone in this industry is so sexist." I say and he scoffs. But then think about Jax cooking that time in his house.
"Lara you don't know anything about me, at all." He says and I look at him curiously.
"Tell me something about you then, something I don't know." I say and he turns and looks at me confused.
"Come on we live together Rocco, we may as well get to know each other." I say and he sighs.
"My favourite colour is red. The colour of Rose's." He says and I smile.
"Really?" I ask and he nods.
"That's cool." I say and he scoffs.
"You're turn." He says and I furrow my eyebrows.
"I'm sure you already know a lot about me." I say and he raises an eyebrow at me before walking towards the wine fridge.
I watch as he pops the cork and then pours some wine into a wine glass.
"Do you want a glass?" He asks and I shake my head no.
"I don't drink." I say and he looks at me quite intrigued.
"See, I didn't know that." He says and I roll my eyes playfully.
A high pitched scream had me jumping off of my stool.
"Watch those." I say to Rocco and run to find Alannah as I continued to hear her cry.
I get to the doors by the garden that were wide open. Jax had picked Alannah up and was now calming her down.
"Let me see where it hurts." Jax says and Alannah point to her knees and her hands.
He places a kiss to both of her knees and both palms of her hands then she rests her head in the crook of his neck.
I never really had a family. I had my dad before he left and he was amazing but it was mostly just us. Then once he left I didn't have anyone for a while till Alannah.
I've felt loved by many which I'm grateful for but I can only assume the feeling I'm currently feeling is what it feels like to be apart of a family.
Me, Jax and Alannah. We're only a small family but we have each other in if you asked me a year ago, I didn't think I'd have.
Once I saw Alannah was falling asleep I head back towards the kitchen where Rocco was cooking something whilst sipping on some wine.
"Everything alright?" He asks and I nod.
For the rest of the time me and Rocco were sorting food out we had made conversation so we weren't sat in quiet.
"So I have a question." I say as we started placing the food on a plate.
"Go on." Rocco says.
"That night, when the Russians came here, why did you stay by my side? Then the second question is, why did you stick to for me against Dnitri when you told me I should be able to deal with things on my own?" I say as he grabs more wine from the wine fridge.
"That's easy. Jax loves you and I just wanted to make sure you were okay. Then Dmitri was rude. I don't know you all to well Lara but I know you're a good person and I didn't want him to get to you." He says making me smile.
We call everyone into the dinnimg room where we sit around the table.
Alannah was sat inbetween me and Jax, like always. Except Jax was at the top of the table and Alannah was sat to his right with me on the other side of her then Matteo sat beside me. Opposite us sat Gio, Amara and Rocco.
We had began to start eating our food after every one thanked me and Rocco for preparing it.
"So I know we don't do that, I'm thankful thing but I wanted to share what I'm thankful for." Jax says taking a sip of some wine.
"I'm thankful for all of you. I'm thankful to have my best friend and my family here with me. I'm thankful that even though I was so cruel to Lara, she gave me a second chance. I'm thankful I get to call Alannah my daughter and I'm thankful all of us are sat round this table healthy and living." Jax says making me smile.
"That was so beautiful." Gio says pretending to cry.
"Fuck off." Jax says making Alannah gasp and my eyes widen.
"Shit sorry." Jax says making everyone laugh but Alannah.
"Don't repeat my words, they're not good. Plus if you do your mom will kill me, literally skin me alive." He says and she nods and continues to eat her food.
I catch Jax eyes as everyone was talking between themselves.
"I love you." I mouth and he smiles.
"I love you." He says smiles and I start to get butterflies in my stomach. Its mad how much of a child I act like, still.
After dinner the boys were on cleaning duty. Well just Gio, Matteo and Jax. I sat in the living room with Amara, who was already on her like 4th bottle of wine today. My phone pinged as Alannah lied in my arms watching doc mcstuffins on the tv.
James- you still coming by?
Lara- of course I am, what time do you want us to come over?
James- whenever, literally whenever just make is quick plssssss.
I laugh and put my phone down as Jax walked in.
"Hey so once I'm done in the kitchen do you still wanna swing by the Miller's?" He asks and I nod.
"Sure." I say and he kisses my forehead before carrying on.
I take Alannah up to her room where I grab her a coat and some shoes. I grab some black heel ankle boots from Jax's closet and head downstairs.
We meet Jax in the foyer as he was finishing telling Gio something.
"Right are we ready?" Jax asks as he picks up his car keys.
"Yep." I say and he nods.
"See you later, don't stay out too late!" Gio shouts making me roll my eyes playfully.
Jax stops the car behind one of the cars outside the Miller's drive way. I help Alannah out and we head towards the front door. I ring the doorbell and Jax just smiles at me.
"Thank god, I can't deal with him much longer." James says putting down what looks like a glass of champagne and pulling me into a hug.
"Come in come in." James says pulling away from the hug.
Him and Jax just nod slightly at each other and he gives Alannah a hug. We walk into the living room and the first person to talk to me, no doubt was Mason.
"Ah Lara you do look amazing, you ready to confess your undying love for me yet?" He asks and his eyes suddenly widen. I turn to see what he was looking at to see Jax. I smile softly and look up at Jax.
"Mason, this is Jax. You remember me telling you about Jax right?" I ask holding Jax's hand.
"Cat got your tongue mas?" Eva asks making her way over to hug me.
"Oh you guys are here come in, I'll get more chairs." Nicole says squeezing my shoulder gently as she walks out of the living room.
I introduce Jax to everyone and give everyone a hug before taking a seat in a chair Nicole had brought in for us.
Alannah was with Hannah right now, which surprised me as we hadn't seen Hannah in about a year yet Alannah was still so fond of her.
Me, Jax, James, Mason and Eva were currently in discussion about Jax's work. Me and James were quite worried to his answer but he just simply told them exactly what he told me on our first date.
"You don't strike me as a business man." Mason says and I roll my eyes.
"And why is that?" Jax asks now looking at Mason.
"I don't know, maybe it's the tattoos. You're tattoos are pretty cool though my mom would kill me if I got one." Mason says and Jax just chuckles.
"When I first started getting tattoos my mom hated it. I remember the day I first came after getting a tattoo. My mom was reading in the kitchen and I went to get a drink and she hit me with her book." He says making me laugh as well.
"Sounds like your mom." I say and he laughs.
Jax did end up being pulled into business talks with David and his brothers which I was really hoping to avoid.
"So anything new with you." I say nudging James.
"I was meaning to tell you something actually." James says and I look at him worried.
"What did you do?" I ask and he sighs.
"I didn't do anything." He says and I look at him sternly. He leans into my ear to whisper which makes me giggle.
"I got a girlfriend." He says and my eyes widen.
"No way. Shut up." I say and he laughs.
"Swear down." He says and I put my drink down.
"Tell me everything." He rolls his eyes before taking a sip of his champagne.
"Her name is Ashleigh." He whispers making me smile.
"Show me a picture." I say and he whips out his phone and gets her Instagram up.
"God James shes stunning." I say and he smiles.
James then dives into a story about how they met at one of his classes and how they began to hang out a lot more. From what he tells me she's a sweet girl, nothing like the girls he used to date in high school and well he hasn't had a girlfriend whilst being at college yet.
"I'm happy for you James." I say and he smiles.
"Thank you." Hs says making me smile.
"I'm happy as long as you're happy." I say and he rolls his eye playfully.
"How's the apartment treating you?" I ask and he nods.
"I love it, it's an amazing apartment in a very convenient place." He says and I smile.
"Well when I'm next free I'm going to have to swing by and meet this Ashleigh." I say and he nods.
"Of course." He says and I smile.
I spent pretty much the rest of the evening talking with pretty much everyone and catching Jax's eye quite a lot.
He had been offered a drink multiple times and hadn't drank. He had a glass of wine with dinner but hasn't really drank since that which surprised me.
Alannah had fallen asleep beside Hannah which was our excuse to go. Alannah hadn't had a nap today and it had just gone her bed time.
Jax says a quick goodbye and go's ahead to take Alannah to the car whilst I say goodbye to everyone else.
James walks me back to Jax's car where Jax thanks him for walking me to the car.
"I'm busy tomorrow and I'm leaving Saturday but I'm glad I got to see you James. I'll come see you at some point in the New York in LA though to meet Ashleigh." I say and he nods.
"I love you." He says and hugs me.
"I love you as well." I say before pulling back.
We then say goodbye again before I get in the car and head back to the house.
"Did you have a nice evening?" Jax asks trailing his fingers up the slit of my skirt.
"I did, did you?" I ask and he nods.
"The Miller's are lovely." He says making me smile.
His hand stops on my mid thigh where he starts to trace shapes on my thigh. I could feel myself starting to get quite hot as he slowly inched further up my thigh.
"I uh, you didn't drink tonight." I say and he chuckles.
"I was driving." He says as he drives through the gates to his house.
"Yeah so?" I ask and he scoffs.
"Yeah and I would never put either of you at risk." He says once the car stops.
"Surely you could of had a drink?" I ask and he furrows his eyebrows.
"Well yeah but I didn't want to." He says and I nod and get out of the car.
We take Alannah up to bed straight away where I remove her dress and put her in her pyjamas.
I head downstairs and look around to find everyone but no one was here.
"They've gone out to one of our bars." Jax says and I nod.
We head back upstairs to his room. As soon as I get in I take my necklace off.
The lock of the door as me turning around from the foot of Jax's bed as I take off my shoes. Jax threw his jacket off and walked over to me.
He stands in front of me leaving me to look up at his eyes. One of his hands trace up the slit of my skirt again leaving my breath get ragged.
"Hi." I say nervously making him smirk.
"Hi." He says moving his fingers to the inside of my thighs and stopping just before he gets to my underwear.
"Tell me about your day. Did you enjoy our first Thanksgiving together properly?" Jax asks as he begins to rub over my underwear.
"I did." I sort of choke out and Jax doesn't break eye contact with me.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it il mio amore." He says pushing my underwear to the side with one of his fingers then plunging a finger into me.
"Did I tell you how beautiful you look?" He asks using his free hand to cup my face.
As he does this he pushed another finger into me causing me to gasp.
"Doesn't matter I'll tell you again." He says placing a kiss to my lip.
"You il mio amore are absolutely beautiful, you take my breath away everytime." He says making my cheeks go a darker shade of red.
Jax's fingers were pumping inside of me making my back arch slightly.
Just as I was about to come Jax pulled his fingers out and smirked at me.
"What the hell was that for?" I ask and I roll my eyes.
"Sorry il mio amore but I want to be inside of you." He says and my eyes widen. "But only if you want to." He quickly says and I nod.
"Words. What did I say about your words? I need your words." He says as goosebumps run up my arms.
"Yes I want to." I clarify and he smirks.
Jax pulls down my skirt down as well as pushes me further up the bed. My head hits the pillow as I hear Jax kick his shoes off. He sits at the end of the bed and slowly begins to place kisses up my thighs, up my stomach and stopping where he reaches where my top is.
"I'd like to see you lose a few items of clothing as well." I say and he sits back up.
He was on his knees inbetween my calves where he furiously pulled his belt off. Once his belt was off his top was the next to go leaving him in just his trousers.
Jax hovers back over me where he starts kissing down my neck and sucking slightly leaving me just moaning underneath him.
Jax took my top off leaving me in just my bra. I quickly spin us over so I straddle Jax. I unbuttoned his trousers before tugging them off his legs leaving him I just his boxers.
I looked from Jax's boxers at how hard he was to him leaving him to groan.
"Will you take them off?" He asks and I nod.
I pull them down and Jax's erection had hit my thigh.
I quickly take off my bra and kiss up Jax's chest.
I'd gotten to Jax's collarbone and started to leave hickeys across them.
"Lara, I can't wait any longer." Jax says spinning us round so I was now on the bottom.
"You sure?" Jax asks putting the condom on.
"Yes." I say and he places a soft kiss to my lips.
Jax had grabbed my hips as he first thrusted into me. My eyes rolled back instantly at the feeling of him.
"Fucking hell." Jack grunts as he continues to thrust.
It didn't take long till Jax was kissing up my body again. He met my lips just as he thrusted roughly into me causing ms to moan against his lips.
Jax was never that rough with me. He was always so loving about it. This time he was a bit harder, but not too hard.
I wrap my arms around his back. I want to be as close to him as possible.
He hits a certain part in me and moan out.
Jax was a moaning mess, I'd never seen him like it before.
"I'm so close il mio amore." He tells me.
"Okay, hold on." I tell him and he reaches down to my clit and presses it.
"Never mind." I gasp as my core tightens.
"I love you." He says as I let the tightness in my stomach go leaving Jax to moan as he does the same.
I sat up and grabbed all the clothes off of the floor and put them on the closet floor in Jax's room.
I grab his black t-shirt he was wearing under his sweater and pull it over my head then put my underwear back on.
I get into bed beside Jax who was just lying staring at the ceiling.
"You alright?" I ask climbing in beside him.
"I love you, so much." Jax says and I lie on my stomach propped up on my elbows and begging to trace the tattoos on his chest.
"I love you just as much." I say and he smiles.
"You know, I'm gonna miss coming up from work to see you here." He says making me smile.
"I'm going to miss being here." I say and he pulls me into be little spoon. I trace his tattoos whilst lying on my side.
"Its only necessarily a month, not even that. We'll be fine I promise." He says and I nod and continue you to trace the tattoos on Jax's arms whilst he places soft kisses to the back of my neck.
