you - jack grealish

029

It's been a few weeks now and Jack has been offered a place at Man City. They are offering £100 million to have him in their club.

It's safe to say that he is stressed. Stressed like Hailey has never seen before.

Does he stay with his childhood club or does he move where he could have much more opportunities.

They've been weighing up the pros and cons for days and now they've finally come to the conclusion.

He's going to move.

Jack signs the contract tomorrow for five years, it's been hard but he believes this is the best choice.

Maybe he will regret it in the future, but right now, he's made this decision and will stick with it.

"Is this a good idea?" He looks up at Hailey.

"Maybe, it could be good for you to get out of Villa a bit. Time will tell." She smiles, playing with his hair as his head rests in her lap.

"Are you coming with me to the signing?"

"You know i can't, i'll pick you up."

Jack nods, knowing she's right and she's not allowed to accompany him, as much as he would want her to.

He spends the night worrying, pacing up and down the living room, reconsidering his decision, Hailey having the responsibility to calm his nerves.

She opens her arms for him, he lays down, putting pretty much all of his weight on her. He closes his eyes as she massages his head, feeling some sense of relief wash over him as she continues her actions.

"Let's just go to bed, alright?" Jack nods, following her up the stairs.

the next day

Today is Jack's signing and medical, it will be a long day for him so he's grateful for Hailey's offer to pick him up and drop him off.

He gets ready, giving himself a long, hard stare in the mirror, forcing Hailey to drag him into the car.

"It'll go great." Hailey reassures him, leaning forward to kiss him. "Have a good day."

"See you later."

She waits until Jack gets into the car, giving him a final wave before leaving.

If you're wondering, Jack and Hailey still have not said three of the most important words, when put together.

I love you.

It's not that they don't love each other, quite clearly, they do, but it's just not been said yet.

However, Hailey has sort of decided when she's going to spill that on him, very soon.

Jack is taken to his signing, he gets his hair and everything fixed, wearing some Man City hoodies for the pictures which are being taken.

He signs the contract, placing him in Man City's hands for the next five years.

Before doing his medical, they bring him to his new shirt.

Grealish 10

"I didn't even know i was going to be number ten." He smiles, feeling the material between his fingers. "That's made my year, that."

He's taken to his medical where they check his fitness and whatnot, then, he can finally go home.

As Hailey promised, she's waiting for him, he climbs in the car beside her, still wearing his Man City hoodie.

"How did it go?" She asks him.

"It was great, yeah. This is so soft, feel it." Jack pokes out some of the inner material, waiting for Hailey to touch it.

"Oh, yeah, it is. Ready to go home?"

"Yeah, i'm so tired."

"Have a nap." Jack nods, leaning his head back, shutting his eyes, attempting to drown out all of his current thoughts.

Hailey wakes him up when they arrive home, feeling guilty for ruining his much needed sleep, but she can't leave him in the car all night.

She cooked his favourite meal, all it needs now is half an hour to finish off before they can eat.

When she dropped him off she knew that he would appreciate this and that's exactly why she did it.

"Did you cook?" He asks her, the scent invading his nostrils.

"It just needs another half an hour, go back to sleep if you want."

He shakes his head. "I'll put on the tv for us."

Hailey nods, turning back on the stove and oven before joining him on the sofa, slipping between his arms.

They barley even watch the movie, Jack talking to Hailey about the day he's had, which she isn't particularly mad at.

Once the food is cooked, they sit at the table to eat, and since Jack has barely eaten today, he eats it in minutes, going for more.

She allows him to keep talking about his day, feeding him questions also.

After they're finished, she puts the dirty plates in the dishwasher, her and Jack getting into bed to watch tv instead, since she's not sure how long Jack will stay awake for.

They watch a few hours, before deciding to go to sleep.

"Goodnight." Jack mumbles, leaning to kiss her.

"Goodnight, i love you." She slips in, feeling Jack move almost immediately as she says it.

"What?"

"Didn't you hear me?" Hailey asks with a smile, being able to see his facial expression even through the dark.

"Yes, but i want to hear it again."

"I love you."

"I love you too." He replies, kissing her once more before gripping her waist and pulling her closer to him.

a/n: finally.
