Ellie completely pushed the wedding to the back of her mind, it had been 3 days and Jack hadn't messaged at all, she assumed he must have realised how unimportant she was, but it's ok she was fine with it.
She had just got home from work when she received a notification of a tag on her Instagram from Jack, she rolled her eyes at the notification, "make your damn mind up!" She said out loud, she placed her bag on the granite counter and sat down to open instagram, it was a post by the photographers who were at Kalvins wedding, Ellie smiled as she saw pictures of the bride and groom, then her and Jessica, Jessica and Jamie, then finally an image she completely forgot had been taken, a picture of her and Jack, Ellie was looking at the camera totally unaware of what Jack was doing, only now could she see the look on his face, he was looking at Ellie with pure admiration, this confused her even more.
"3 days, its been 3 days, no message, no call, only a heart and coffee emoji on my post and now this, wtf Jess! I'm good at putting shit to the back of my mind but how can I when he can't decide what he wants?, I hope he doesn't think I'm a booty call!, or is he shy?, ah! My brain hurts with all this" Ellie ranted on to Jessica, "you done?" Jessica asked, clearly hearing quite enough of her ramblings, "yeah, sorry, what can I do?", Ellie really needed help from her best friend, "exactly what I told you the other day, DM him!, He doesn't rely then fine you will know, if he replies then your in girl", Ellie had to admit her impulsive best friend did make sense, just this one time, "ok il message him now, il call you later".
With that Ellie ended the call and opened Instagram, she sat staring at the screen, clicking on Jack's profile picture, when she saw his face all the memories of the wedding came back to her, she blushed at the thought of his hands all over her again. She quickly snapped herself back to normality, her priorities was what to put in the message, it had to be simple, nothing too needy but more than a simple 'hi'. She typed out 20 different messages before finally clicking send, finally deciding on ...
Ellowe25 - Hey, you ok?, Thank you for the tag, the pictures are beautiful 😍
There, it was done, Ellie pushed her phone into the middle of the kitchen island and headed upstairs to get ready for the gym. She removed most of her makeup, changed her clothes and put her hair in a high pony tail. Once she was ready she walked back into the kitchen and grabbed her phone, noticing she had a reply from Jack. She tried to not let herself get too exited but her heart began to race faster than she could stop it. She picked up the phone and opened the notification...
@Jackgrealish - Princess Ellie!, I'm good, beautiful how are you? I'm really sorry I haven't messaged, I know this is going to sound like absolute shit but Iv been trying to get my head around stuff x.
Ellie rolled her eyes at his reply, he was right it did seem like shit but she accepted his answers and decided to be friendly with him.
@Ellowe25- I'm good thanks, just heading out to the gym, are you back in Birmingham now? It's fine Jack honestly, I didn't expect anything after the wedding, we live two completely different lives, and understandably you have a lot on, it's not as easy for you to have any sort of relationship. X
She meant what she said to him, she fully expected this to happen and was prepared to deal with it, she shoved her phone in her pocket and got in her car. When she pulled up at the gym she had two notifications from Jack...
@Jackgrealish - the gym at 7pm, loving the commitment babe. Yeah I'm back in Birmingham now. Thank you, I don't want to dismiss what we have because despite everything going on with work and been in the public eye etc, there was something with us and it feels better now we're back in touch, do you agree? X
@Jackgrealish - wouldn't be a gym session without a selfie? Remind me what I'm missing? 😉 x
Ellie laughed at the footballers forwardness, this boy just didn't care, 'two can play that game Grealish' she thought, she headed for the changing rooms and found the long mirrors, she stood in the mirror and readjusted the 'girls' for the perfect 'you wish you had this' photo.
@Ellowe25- of course, your lack of communication shows you need a reminder 😉 But yes it does feel better talking to you again 😘 What are you doing? Does it require a selfie? X

She clicked send and began her work out, 90 minutes later she had finished, she headed back to the locker rooms to shower and change, not before checking her phone.
@Jackgrealish - wow! Ellie 😍 you look amazing Really wishing I was with you now. I'm just chilling at home, all alone but you can have a selfie Ellie, just ask 😉 x

Ellie smiled at his reply but still didn't want to get serious before anything even started.
