Chapter Eleven

When Jax finally gets me to calm down enough, he walks me back inside the restaurant. When Stu sees me, he hurries over to make sure I’m okay. I tell him I’m fine and that we won’t cause any more scenes.

He just chuckles. “Lyndley, you went through a traumatic time and no one should ever make you feel bad about it. Jax was right. That girl had no right to mention your child to make you feel bad about yourself.”

Sniffling, I nod and hug him. “Thank you,” I whisper.

He pats my hand. “Lyn, take the rest of the day off.” Before he walks into the kitchen, he shouts, “On me.”

I look over at Jax and he shrugs. “I can’t do that,” I say, shaking my head. Smiling, he grabs my hand and pulls me with him. He pays for his food and drags me out into the parking lot.

“Come with me. I need to do some work on the ranch, and I’m sure Momma would love to spend some time with you. Afterwards, we can go on our date.” He runs his finger along my jawline, his eyes zeroing in on my lips. When his lips barely brush mine, I get goose bumps and flutters in my stomach.

“Okay,” I say, nodding. “Let’s get out of here.” A grin spreads across his handsome face and he leads me to his truck.

Once I am inside and he starts walking around to the driver’s side, I see the worry on his face. When he gets into the truck, I place my hand on his thigh. “Thank you for standing up for me. I know it must be hard for you to hear that, but I really appreciate you saying something when I couldn’t.”

He grabs my hand and pulls me closer. “Lynd, I’ll always stand up for you. You’re my wife and that still means something to me.”

Jax drives off, keeping his hand on my knee while my head is on his shoulder.

“You know, babe, this is how we spent many of our younger days,” he says, making me grin.

“Times like these were my favorite,” I answer, thinking about all the drives to nowhere we would take.

When we pull up to his mom’s house, I see her come outside. “My sweet girl!” she squeals, pulling me into a hug. She kisses my cheeks, offering me a glass of sweet tea. As we walk inside, I see the bright smile on Jax’s face.

“My dear, to what do I owe the pleasure?” she asks, ushering me into the kitchen.

“Well, after an incident at the diner, I got the afternoon off. Luckily, Jax was there to help me deal with what happened.” I look at the ground. I’m not sure what he’s told her yet, but I hope he has at least warned her.

“Oh, my sweet girl. Please don’t let what one stuck-up little girl said hurt you. My son told me what you had to go through on your own, and I don’t ever want either of you to have to go through something like that again.
