| Chapter 5
Alexis walks through the doors of the Metro Court and over to the front desk. �Excuse me but did Mr. Jamerson leave a message for me?� �And just who is Mr. Jamerson? Jax asked walking up behind her.� She turns around and smile. �He�s just a client Jax.� �And just how well do you know this man?� He asked jokingly She tilts her head and slightly smiles at him. �So how is my favorite ex-husband?� �Apparently doing better then my favorite ex-wife.� �That obvious, huh?� �What do you say you let me buy you breakfast and we�ll talk about it?� �I�ve already eaten breakfast thank you, but I will take that ear you�re offering.� �After you Madame.� Jax states as he holds his hand out towards the couch in the main lobby. She kisses him good morning as they make their way over and get comfortable. �So what�s on your mind Alexis?� �Where do I start.� She replied rolling her eyes. �That bad, eh?� �Well let�s see�.my nephew has totally lost his mind, my daughter thinks somebody is out to get me��.but then again who can blame her when there are big tall men with no necks walking around carrying guns.� She takes a deep breath. �And the icing on the cake is that Sonny has moved in across the hall from me.� Jax gives her that you�ve got to be kidding me look. �Yeah yeah, he�s been there for three days now��and three very long nights.� �Why is he staying at Wyndermere and please tell me you and he aren�t�.� �We most certainly are not.� She replied Gould at the insinuation. �So why is he there and more importantly how come you haven�t kicked him out?� She shakes her head and gives him that�s easier said then done look. He stands up. �If you want him out of there Alexis just say the word and I�ll take care of him myself.� She grabs his hand and pulls him back onto the couch. �I don�t want you doing anything. He doesn�t like you as it is.� �Alexis��� �Jax please I have bigger problems then Sonny being �well Sonny. I don�t know what�s wrong with Nikolas and I don�t know how to help him.� �It could be nothing more then stress Alexis. Running the family business is very stressful.� �Yeah I know, but it�s more then that Jax he�s becoming very violent with people and basically just blowing it off like we�re all crazy or something. I don�t know��. he�s just not himself Jax, and I�m scared for him.� �Have you spoken to him about it?� �Let�s just say we�ve had words.� �He hasn�t hurt you has he Alexis?� �No..� She takes a deep breath. �But he has�..� She takes his hands in hers.� You have to promise you aren�t going to confront him or do anything stupid if I confide in you, Jax.� Getting very upset. �He has hurt you then.� �No Jax, he hasn�t. Just promise me that this will stay between the two of us, please.� �Fine.� He looks her straight in the eyes. �I won�t say anything to him for now.� �Thank you.� She takes another deep breath. �Okay, last week Nikolas was perfectly fine from what I understand until Jerry showed up at Windermere looking for me�.and then according to Jerry. And yes I know what you�re thinking but I believe him. �.Nikolas just lost it and started being the crap out of him. I confronted Nikolas about it but that just caused him to get even angrier and he took it out on me�..� �If he hurt you Alexis all promises are off!� �No, he just started in on me about defending Jerry, marrying Ric, sleeping with Sonny��.and how he always has to clean up after me, when I take up with bad boys.� �Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.� Jax replies. �It�s not like all his relationships were loving and pure.� �The worse part about the whole thing wasn�t what he said�it�s what he did when I told him I wasn�t going to stand here and listen to him belittle my life and I went to walk away.� �Alexis what did he do?� �He yelled something along the lines of not walking away from him and he threw his drink at me.� Jax was about to say something but Alexis wouldn�t let him. �Jax I swear in that brief instant it was like Stefan was standing there. He reminded me so much of him and that�s what scared me the most.� �Alexis, Nikolas may be a lot of things but he is nothing like Stefan.� �Jax if somebody was standing here trying to convince me that Nikolas was anything like my brother, I�d tell them they were crazy. But this wasn�t the only time I�ve seen him lose his temper��.and what I�ve heard from other people�� I�m afraid he�s either going to hurt somebody so bad that even my great law expertise isn�t going to save him ��.or he�s going to hurt himself.� �Alexis if he scares you that much, then you and the girls have got to move out of there.� �Jax I can�t leave him�.not when he so desperately needs me.� �And what about your kids Alexis? What if he losses it around them or worse��..� �Jax please don�t even think that.� Alexis replied cutting him off. �Besides why do you think I haven�t kicked Sony out.� �Does he know about his outbursts?� �I haven�t said anything to him�.he�s not always as reasonable as you are Jax.� �You�re afraid of what he�ll do to him if he finds out, aren�t you?� �That and more importantly he�ll want the girls and I the heck out of there and he�ll make me choose between loosing them or leavening my nephew, when he clearly needs my help now more then ever.� �Alexis I really think you should clue Sonny in.� �Jax you promised you wouldn�t say anything and I need you to keep that promise.� �Only if you make me one.� �Name it.� �You promise me, if things get worse or he hurts you in anyway�.and I�m not just talking physical here Alexis.� She shakes her head like she understands what he saying. �You grab you�re kids and you come find me right away. And I don�t care what time it is.� �Jax we�re going to be alright. You don�t have to worry about us. There is no way I�m going to allow things to get that far.� �Then humor me, please.� �I promise if anything happens from here on out I�ll let you know.� She stands up. �Now I really do have to go but thanks for listening to me it really helped.� �I didn�t do anything.� �Yeah you did.� She kisses his lips lightly and walks away. |
