A Kiss Good-Bye Series

Chapter 7

Jax

She read me like an open book. She immediately knew that I didn’t look like a biker and she’s right. I used to wear suits. Now I wear jeans and my colors that I’m not comfortable wearing. She even told me that I was good-looking, and I felt the heat in my cheeks. I think I blushed, which was odd because I never blushed when Sara commented on me on anything.

I have to admit that Emilia was beautiful, more beautiful than Sara. What the hell am I thinking? I love Sara. Emilia was just someone who was helping me track down Jones. But Emilia knows something. The way she spoke earlier, she sounded hurt when she turned her back to me. I could tell she was trying to contain her emotions. I did the same when I spoke about Vanessa. I tried to hide it in my voice, but Emilia saw it.

She saw the pain in my eyes and face. I’m pretty sure she showed pity, but it quickly vanished when she busted my balls about not knowing more about Jones.

I saw the fierceness in her eyes and the ferocity in her voice. There’s a connection between the three of them and I need to know what, but Emilia was like me, she’s closed off. She doesn’t give in too easily.

I sighed. It’s getting late and the ride to Tennessee was far. The problem was, I don’t know where to sleep. I hear footsteps coming back to the kitchen and I look up to see Emilia. She changed into sweats and a t-shirt, and she looked good and comfortable.

Sara doesn’t dress that way for bed. She usually wears silk lingerie that hugs her body and can be revealing in certain places. I do enjoy her night gowns, but seeing Emilia all comfortable like this made something stir.

Get your head out of your ass, Jax. You can’t think about Emilia that way. You’re only thinking this way because you miss Sara. You love Sara.

“First room on the right is yours,” she said softly. “Good-night Jax. See you in the morning.”

She walked away and I didn’t even respond. I should have, but I couldn’t. I went up to the room and it was huge. I laid down on the soft king-sized bed and closed my eyes. The only thought that entered my mind to convince myself was, I love Sara.
