Special guest

Until next time

Jacks and Ellie got back to the house at 6pm, the two went to Ellie's room where Jack sat on the bed watching her as she moved around the room and putting her things in her suitcase, after a few minutes she was finished, She stood facing Jack with her phone in her hand and her suitcase stood next to her, "well, I'm done" she said with a flat tone, Jack stood up and smiled at her as his hands landed on her hips, "don't be sad princess, 5 days and il see that smiley face again", Ellie nodded with a straight face, "mhm, this..." she waved her hands in front of her face, "is my face for the next 5 days, I mean it", Jack laughed at her fake sulk and placed a kiss on her forehead before takin her hand, "come on moody, let's get you in the car".

As they got to Ellie's car the sadness really sank in for Ellie but Jack seemed unbothered which bothered her even more, she wasn't going to make a scene incase she was wrong but she wasn't going to get emotional, she watched him as he checked his phone as he put her bags in the boot, once he did he walked back around the front where Ellie was leaning against her door, "come here doll", he told her as he pulled her closer, "we've got this ok?", Ellie just smiled and nodded at him, Jack pulled her closer and placed his lips on hers, it wasn't a passionate kiss but it felt very purposeful, especially to her, once they separated Ellie slipped into her car, "il see you later Grealish", she closed the door and reversed out of the drive, Jack watched her as he waved  and blew kisses to her, he didn't notice a lot of things but he did notice the change in Ellie at that moment.

Once Ellie had left Jack headed back into the house and flopped on the sofa, he smiled at the thought of the weekend they had shared, he truly enjoyed spending time with Ellie and he thought she was the most attractive woman he had ever seen, he wanted this to work, he had to speak to someone so he decide to call Tyrone.

Tyrone - Jack! Sup man
Jack - alright man, I needed to talk to someone mate.
Tyrone - why what's up? You ok?
Jack - yeah I mean ... yeah I'm ok I just needed advice or something on the whole Ellie thing.
Tyrone - mate she's amazing, she's gorgeous and she seemed really nice on Saturday, she seems good for you man, what you worried about?
Jack - I really like her Ty, I mean really.
She knows I have to keep what ever it is quiet for press and that, she fully understands which is good, and we get on great, she's so sexy and the sex is fucking amazing mate I can't even tell you.
Tyrone - so .... You've not named one bad thing? What's the issue?
Jack - that's the issue it's all too good, what if I can't do that again, I can't take another fall man.
Tyrone - Jack stop! This isn't going to be like that, I mean Ellie seems properly genuine, she's all for you man that's so easy to see, and iv only met her once, and I know you Jack, you need this. Just remember if you need to slow things or stop then you can, don't feel like you have to go deep because of what happened before ok?
Jack - ye I get you man, thank you, knew I could rely on you.
Tyrone - anytime pal! See you tomorrow for training.

With that Jack hung up the phone, he text Ellie so she could see it when she got home.

Jack - Hi princess, I just wanted to send you a text to make sure you are ok, you seemed different when you left, and I know you was sad, I felt the exact same way, I just want to make sure I haven't done anything, I would hate to know I upset you?
I hope your drive home was ok, iv decided I'm picking you up on Friday night, that's if you still want to come.
Anyway way I'm drifting now, text me when you get home. I miss you already Xx......

After he sent the text Jack began his nighttime routine, eat, shower, chill.

When Ellie got back to Leeds she instantly checked her phone and saw the text from Jack, she smiled from ear to ear, this boys was so cute, she loved what they had and maybe she was overthinking how distant he was when she left, maybe he was just dealing with it in his own way?.
She decided to text him back before going in the house.

Ellie - hi 😊 , Jack Grealish you are the cutest thing ever!, yeah I was a little off and I'm sorry, you just seemed quiet and I felt like I was being too much, maybe pushing this relationship on you? I don't know, all sorts were going through my crazy mind, like that you didn't like me, you were thinking about your ex!, everything you could think of, I'm sorry ha!
Yeah, you can pick me up, but you don't need to, don't be putting yourself out.
Missing you too 🥰

Jack and Ellie continued to text for a few hours after she got home, but eventually she decided on an early night as she had work the next day and she knew there would be an interrogation style questioning from Jess.
She didn't know how Jess had managed to not bombard her with texts all weekend, maybe she knew to let her enjoy this weekend, their first together before she was comfy enough to interrupt the two.
After FaceTiming back to say goodnight her head hit the pillow and she was out like a light, this weekend had been super hectic but amazing all at once.

Jack on the other hand. He tossed and turned most of the night, his mind racing about the conversion he had with Tyrone and then what Ellie said about being worried he was thinking about his ex!, twice in once day she came up in conversation, they had been broken up 18 months, why now? Is all that Jack could think.
Did he need to tell Ellie about her? Or leave it?
Was she on his mind because he wasn't over her?.
It was 3am the last time Jack looked at the clock, still no wiser on an answer, he would have to talk to the boys tomorrow and get their ideas on things.
