That Way

13. Quality Time.

It's been a few weeks since Jack's first game. It's my birthday in two days, so I'm having a Halloween birthday party. Jack's been staying at mine most nights, I've spent a few nights at his but mostly mine.

"Alright, we're off." My mum shouts from downstairs, I get out of bed and run downstairs to hug them both. "We'll see you tomorrow." My mum hugs me. "Alright, I love you guys." I smile as I pull my dad into the hug. "We love you too, my darling." My dad smiles before kissing my head. "I'll see you tomorrow." Hazel hugs me. "Have fun with Hannah and Jas." I smile as we pull away, talking about her friends from home.

"Drinks are in the kitchen, do get stupidly drunk. Are the girls or Jack staying?" Mum asks as she puts her bag on her shoulder. "Both, the girls are staying in Hazel and your room like we agreed, and Jack's staying in with me." I say making her nod. "Have fun, make sure you eat in the morning or get something on the way down. The fridge has everything you need, the freezer too." She says making me nod and pull them into a group hug.

"See you tomorrow!" I shout as they get in the car. I lock the door and go up to my room to see Jack FaceTiming me. "Hiya babe." I smile as I lay on my bed and look at my MacBook, which I'm using for it. "Hiya darlin. Your parents left?" He asks making me nod. "I'll be there is ten." He smiles as he gets off his bed. "The girls are comping here to get ready." I say making him shrug as he gets his keys and puts his shoes on.

"I don't care. I'll bring my stuff. I love you." He grins before hanging up. I roll my eyes and text him that the keys under the pot before getting in the shower.

I scrub my body and wash my hair and do a mask. Once I'm out, I moisturise my face and body before walking into my room to see jack led on my bed watching Rick and Morty. "Hiya doll." He smiles as I walk to my wardrobe. "You alright babe?" I ask as I pull out some shorts and an oversized T-shirt. "Nope." Jack says making me turn around to see him taking off his navy blue Nike sweatshirt and throwing it to me.

"I'll smell like you at the party." I laugh making him shrug. "Boohoo." He pouts before smiling. "I hate you." I shake my head as I slip my underwear and shorts on before dropping my towel and putting his hoodie on, with my back turned, obviously.

"Much better. Now come 'ere." He smiles with his arms out, I smile and walk over to my bed and climb on top of him and rest my head on his chest. "That's better." He mumbles and he holds my leg in one hand and runs his fingers up and down my back with the other.

"Your not drinking tonight are you?" I ask making him shake his head. "No, you still gonna make it to the game tomorrow?" He asks making me nod. "Yeah, am I still going down with you?" I ask making him nod. "You ever been to Southampton before?" I ask making him nod. "When I was playing for under 18s." He says making me lift my head and look at him. "Bournemouth?" I ask making him shake his head. "There shit." He says making me laugh. "Yeah, they are." I say as I lay back down.

"Plus, you get to show me where you grew up." He says making me smile. "I get to wake up at home on my eighteenth." I smile as I close my eyes. "I'm making you breakfast, the best I can." He says making me laugh. "I'm sure mum will make sure it's already ready when we wake up." I say making him nod as he plays with my hair.

"And you'll get to meet all my old mates." I say making him chuckle. "Am I gonna meet any ex's?" He asks making me sigh. "I fucking hope not. Plus, he moved to Essex with his dad." I say. "Is that why you broke up?" He asks making me shake my head.

"No, he was a twat. Plus I'm better at football then him." I say making him laugh. "You believe that I let you beat me now you've seen me actually play?" He asks making me sigh. "Maybe you were having an off day." I say making him laugh. "Okay darlin." He laughs before kissing my head.

"When do you need to start getting ready?" He asks making me get my phone off my bedside table. "The girls will be here in two hours." I say making him nod and grab the remote. "We can watch Shrek then." He says making me smile and snuggle closer to him. "Shrek 2?" I ask making him nod before putting it on.

I ended up falling asleep on Jack, I get woken up to the girls trying to creep around. "You'd be a shit spy." I mumble as I try to hide my face in Jack's chest. "Someones happy." Lucy smirks as she tickles my feet. "Don't." I whine making them laugh. "You want me to do your make up too jack?" Morgan asks in a super girly voice making us laugh.

"Yeah, make my cheek bones better." He says making us laugh. "Are you staying while we get ready?" Kacie asks making him sigh. "Nah, I'll go when she's eaten something." He says as he rubs my back. "Ooof go on daddy." Kacie says making us all laugh. "I'll call Harvey if you want K." Jack smirks making her roll her eyes. "I'm good." She says before sitting on the floor and going on her phone. "I want pizza." I mumble into Jack's bare chest.

"Dominos?" He asks making me nod. "Do it on my phone, use Apple Pay." I say making the girls laugh. "He'll never let you pay." Morgan says making me groan. "I hate you all." I mumble. "I love you too, princess." Jack kisses my head before asking everyone what they want and orders it.

"Why do you just get ready here? Invite the boys too." I say as I roll away from him and stretch. "Your already staying her tonight." I say making him smile and nod. "Alright doll." He smiles. "I need a burn." I say with my arms out, Morgan pulls me up and I grab my phone and bacci. "Ya comin?" Lucy asks Jack. "May as well." He yawns as he gets up.

"Piggy back?" I pout making him roll his eyes before squatting down in front of me. "Wapow." Kacie says as she motions wipeing us. "Shut up Grouchy Smurf." Jack says making us all laugh. We all walk downstairs and go straight into the back garden and sit around the table, Jack sits me on his lap and the girls sit in the other seats.

"Invite the boys." I say as I roll my burn. "I'll message the group chat." He says as he leans back in his seat and pulls his phone out. "Aren't you cold out here?" Morgan asks while staring at Jack's six pack. "My darlin's keeping me warm." He smiles as he pulls me to lie against him.

"Can yous just get together already!" Kacie groans as she slouches in the chair. "We're best friends." We says at the same time making them all groan, as we laugh.

"Do you think they'll have a destination wedding?" Morgan asks the girls. "Yeah, probably in Bali or something." Lucy says making them all laugh as I roll my eyes.

"Ignore them, darlin." Jack mumbles against my ear. "I'd rather do it in Greece." He says making me chuckle. "The boys are coming, I'll go pick them up." Jack says after looking at his phone. He taps my thigh lightly and I stand up so he can. I sit back down and he kisses my head before sticking his middle fingers up at the girls, which they return, making me laugh.

"I don't know how you put up with him." Kacie says making shrug as I toke my burn. "He's different with me." I say as I breath the smoke out. "You got feelings for him?" Morgan asks softly. "He's my best friend." I chuckle. "We're best friends." She points her finger at all of us. "You two, have feelings for each other." She says making me sigh. "No. We don't." I laugh while looking down.

"Friends don't look at friends that way!" They sing at the top of their lungs, making us all laugh. "We do." I smile at them.
