It had never been simple between them, nothing had ever been simple in Jax’s life because of SAMCRO—nothing would ever be simple with him and that’s exactly what had run through Guest’s head eleven years ago when she decided to leave charming, leaving Jax and the dangers that followed him behind but she hadn’t stayed gone and now here they were. Agent Kohn, Guest’s psychopath of an ex had broken into her house only a few days ago—he had tried to do things to her that weren’t okay in the slightest but Jax had taken care of it. He had killed Kohn for her, for his ex-highschool sweetheart because he couldn’t let someone hurt her and then let them walk away, he couldn’t let things like that go when it came to her. She had broken his heart when she left and now that she was back, Jax’s mother, Gemma had been ruthless with the things she had said to her—Gemma had told her that she needed to break it off, whatever was happening between her and Jax had to stop and that was the exact thing that lead to Guest and Jax’s little argument which had passed just as fast as it had started.

Do you love me? Jax questioned, his tone not giving away any of the true emotions he felt as he took a few steps towards her, stopping a few inches away from her- not to far, not to close. He needed to know if she loved him, if after all of these years if she still felt anything for him like she used to. Her answer would either hurt or it would relieve him of the mental burden he had with all of this. If she said no that would be the easiest way for him to get over this and walk out of the door, if she said yes then It would complicate everything.

It’s a simple question, babe. He spoke up again, tone softening, blue eyes filled with emotions that had been locked away, it was a simple question, but that didn’t make the answer simple. He had been without her by his side for years, but damn it felt so good having her back, just knowing she was back in charming had changed something In him.
