If I wasn't acting

Intentions

Chapter twenty seven

It's warm. There's arms wrapped tight around me. I struggle to open my eyes. What woke me up was when the body next to mine moved his arm off my body. I turn around and grab him around the waist. I burry my face in his chest. I'm finally home. This was all just a bad dream. Oh Don...
"Meryl?"
I shake and look at Jack. No-no-no! I immediately let go of him and sit up straight.
"We fell asleep."
"Oh my gosh," I rub out my eyes and stand up. "I have to go home. This is a mistake."
"What about your date with Pierce?" Jack ask and sit back. I shake my head and fall down on the bed again grabbing my face. "I can cancel that for you if you want."
"Oh gosh yes," I agree and role over to my stomach looking at him. "I don't...I never really saw myself with anyone besides Don."
"It's okay. We can leave tomorrow," he says and rubs my back. I nod and close my eyes. "You're beautiful Meryl."
"Stop," she giggles and put her face in the pillow.
"Meryl, I need to tell you something," he says. I look at him and raise an eyebrow. "I wanted you to come with me...I...I wanted to see how far this can go."
I look at him. Confusion cover my face slowly.
"You had intentions?" I ask softly. He nod and take the hair out of my face. No, that's Don's grounds. "Jack, honestly, I'm not surprised. I kind of was hoping the same. I wanted revenge on Don. He was wrong. Thing is, I have to be there when he makes up his mind."
"I know," he sighs and get out the bed.

Today has been great so far. Jack told Pierce I went home. Perhaps he knows that I'm weak and even I know that something would've happened tonight between Pierce and I. My heart is aching. I want my Donnie. I walk down the hallway in the dark to Jack's room. I open his door and look at him that lift his body up to look at me.
"I...I can't sleep," I whisper and touch my pyjama dress. "I..."
He nods his head slowly. I walk up to his bed and do the unthinkable. I go on my knees en start to crawl to him. I straddle Jack and put my face in his neck and arms around his neck. I just need the love now. That's all I need. Nothing more.
He lays back and take me in his arms. I hold him tight as we both start drifting off to sleep.
