Chapter 64

***Rowen***

It’s been a great week having Chastity at home, and spending so much time with her. I have loved every minute of it, and I’m sad that she has to leave tomorrow to go back to school. I’m not ready for it, but I doubt I ever will be. Not having my mate by my side day, and night is tough. Duke hates it too, but just like me, he just has to deal with it, but we can deal with that tomorrow.

Tonight is another date night. This time Jax, Ross, Molly, and Melissa are coming along. We asked Lexi, and Colby if they wanted to join us, but both said no. Lexi said she wanted to get her stuff packed up. Colby had an evening planned with his friends. I know Chastity was disappointed, but she understood. She didn’t try to push them to join us either.

Needless to say I was standing in my apartment with Ross, and Jax, again, preparing for our dates. I

I laughed when I realized we were all dressed the same, expect our shirts were different colors. Ross was wearing red, Jax was in blue, and I was in dark green.

“Did you two idiots remember flowers this time?” I asked them with a chuckle.

“Damn it. Why didn’t you remind me earlier?” Jax growled.

“Man, you suck at this. How Molly didn’t reject you is beyond me.” Ross joked.

“I take gooood care of her in other ways.” Jax snickered.

“That’s not romance you dummy.” Ross quipped.

“Like hell it isn’t.” Jax gripped.

“It isn’t.”

“Sorry man, but I’ve gotta agree with Ross on this one. Your romance game is weak.” I agree with a laugh.

“Shit. I’ve got an hour. I’ll be right back.” Jax said as he ran out the door to sound of Ross, and I laughing.

“I hope he knows what flowers she likes, or he’s going to look like an even bigger idiot.” Ross said as he shook his head.

“I think he knows more than we give him credit for.” I shrugged.

“Yeah. Maybe. How are you holding up with Chastity leaving again tomorrow?”

“It’s hard, and I don’t want her to go. I have to keep reminding myself that she needs this, and as much as it sucks, she needs this right now.”

“Yeah she does. She’s only been gone about a month, but she’s already changed so much. She seems happier, more relaxed.”

“She does, but she has a long way to go. It’s just going to take time.”

“Yeah. Dad told me about what Naomi did. I was so mad.”

“You weren’t the only one.”

“Did Chastity really recommend therapy for Naomi?”

“She did. She said that maybe the reason Naomi is still doing what she’s doing is because her self esteem is so low she is lashing out to make herself feel better. Chastity thinks that therapy might help her build her self esteem, and realize what she was doing to others.”

“Well dad is looking for a therapist for her. I guess we’ll see what happens. I’m not very hopeful though.”

“I get it.”

We started talking about pack business when Jax walked back in carrying a bouquet of mixed flowers. There were a bunch of different flowers. It was a bit confusing. I looked at him questioningly.

“Dude, what the hell is that?” Ross questioned.

“Mol loves wildflowers, and a mixture of them. She likes all the different colors, and smells mixed together.” Jax explained.

“Uh. Ok.” Ross shrugged.

“Come on guys. We’re going to be late.” I said as I grabbed Chastity’s bouquet, and we left.

Lexi opened the door with a giggle when I knocked on the door.

“Why do you knock when Jax lives here?” Lexi asked.

“This one here thinks it makes us look like gentlemen. I think it just makes him look like an idiot.” Jax answered as he pointed his thumb at me. “Mol! We’re here. Let’s go.”

“Damn it Jax! Could you, just once be romantic, and act like a gentleman?” Molly yelled from Chastity’s room.

just shook my head, and Ross snickered as Jax grumbled Molly, Melissa, and Chastity came out of the bedroom with smiles. Molly stopped, and widened her eyes at Jax.

“Oh my goddess! You got me flowers. You actually almost redeemed yourself.” Molly said as she walked to Jax with a smile.

“You like that mess?” Ross questioned.

“Yes. It’s a mix of wildflowers. Just how I like them.” She answered as she took the flowers from a smug looking Jax.

I just shook my head at him, and move to my sweet girl. She was smiling shyly up at me. She was wearing another sun dress. This one was light green, and she had a small white cover over her shoulders. She was wearing her cowboy boots. When she had first told me Norm talked her into buying them I wasn’t sure she would look right with them, but they worked for her. Her hair was done in soft curls, with the sides. pinned back with little clips with butterflies on them. She looked like the cute country girl next door again.

I loved it.

“Hi sweet girl. I got these for you.” I said as I handed her the lilies.

“Thank you.” She smiled, and took the flowers, sniffing them.

“You’re welcome. You look very pretty tonight.”

“Thank you. You look pretty handsome.”

“Thanks.”

“Come on. Lets get this show on the road.” Jax called out.

“Man, you are terrible at this.” Ross grumbled.

“He’s always been this way.” Molly admitted as she took all of the flowers in the kitchen to put in water.

“How in the hell did you ever accept him if this is how he is?” Ross questioned.

“Hey man! Come on.” Jax complained.

“Despite being an idiot in some areas, he’s a good man. I just deal with the fact that he sucks at romance.

Before you say it Jax sex is NOT romance.” Molly stated as she put the flowers in water with Lexi’s help.

“Sure it is Mol.” Jax argued.

“Lexi, I hope your mate, whoever he is, is not this much of an idiot when it comes to romance.” Molly looked to Lexi, and Lexi just shrugged.

If Colby was her mate, sadly she was screwed. From what I remember, Colby was as bad at romance as Jax. I shook the thought away because it wasn’t my business, or problem.

“Now, we can go.” Molly stated as she finished with the flowers.

“Finally.” Jax grumbled, and Molly smacked his arm, smiling at him.

I chuckled as I held my arm out for Chastity to take. She smiled up at me as she did, and I couldn’t resist. I kissed the top of her head. We followed behind Jax, and Molly after saying goodbye to Lexi. I could tell that Chastity felt bad about leaving her behind, but if she didn’t want to come we couldn’t force her. Once we were out of the house, and walking toward town, Melissa spoke up.
