Rekindled- Jake Kiszka

Chapter 16

I wake up with my head on Jake's chest, the way I had been every morning lately. We made up 4 days ago and now we wanted to be together all of the time, Jake wanting to make sure I was really okay and me wanting to make sure he knew how appreciative I am. I know he's already up by his breathing, plus he was usually up by 9:30 anyways lately. I turn and place a kiss softly on the middle of his chest before closing my eyes again, rubbing slow and lazy patterns on his side. I feel his hand move to play with my hair and my body instantly relaxes.

"Morning Janey." His voice was rough, he must not have been up long before me. 

"Morning Jakey." I say quietly, a smile gracing my lips before I rest my chin on his chest so I'm looking up at him. 

"When do you have to go to the shoot?" I ask, brushing a hair from his face.

Jake had a big shoot and interview with Gibson today, it was huge that they invited him and I was more than proud. "I should leave here around 12, so I should shower soon." he nods, pulling me in closer to him. The warmth of his body against mine under the blankets made me never want to leave the bed. "I can't wait to celebrate later." I mumble, my head now buried in his neck as his hands run over my back. 

"You still haven't told me what you four are planning, I'm nervous." I can hear the smirk forming on his lips, proving myself right when I lift my head and look at him, quickly kissing his cheek. 

"Life is about surprises, my dear. Go with the flow. Now, get your ass in the shower, you've got rockstar things to get done today." I smile, getting up from where I was laying on him and offering him a hand, helping him up from bed while he laughed at me. 

When he went into his bathroom, I head out the door, going to my room and grabbing some shorts and a tank top to put on to go to Sammy and Danny's shared house. Their management had told the boys there was no need for them to tag along for the shoot since it was just Jake, but what they really meant was that they didn't need three additional distractions running around and screaming in their workplace. And trust me when I say, I understand and am siding with them on this one. So, to occupy our time, we decided we should put a little something together to celebrate Jake's big deal with Gibson. 

I take a shower and get myself changed, I'll put something nicer on later but for now it didn't matter. Once I'm changed, I head into the kitchen and grab a pan out, making some scrambled eggs and bacon with toast. Jake strolls in a few minutes later, he was dressed in a button down and jeans with his Chelsea boots on, I know they'll give him an outfit when he gets there so this must have just been comfortable. I look over from what I was doing and watch him fix the necklaces hanging in front of him smooth chest, the button down, as always, only done up about 3 buttons. "Smells good in here." he says, coming and wrapping his around around my waist from behind. "Mhm, gotta eat something before your big day." I smile, turning my head slightly and kissing his cheek before putting everything onto a plate, putting it on the counter for him and starting to clean up. 

I have no idea what me and Jake are at this point. We're not dating, I know that much, but like...are we though? I mean we sleep in the same bed most nights, we show little signs of affection, we make out, but we aren't dating and haven't had sex. It like this weird grey area that we're stuck in, but for now it's okay. The band plays out every weekend, small shows to keep them warmed up, they're doing press, working on the next album, I don't know what a relationship would do for that. Plus tour is in the talks for a year from now, which I found terrifying, but it still makes me feel so incredibly proud of all four of the boys.

I shake myself from my thoughts as I finish up the dishes and make a cup of coffee, handing it to Jake and getting myself a glass of water. He thanks me and gestures for me to come sit next to him, which I do after setting my water down. Instead of letting me sit in the chair beside him, he pulls me into his lap and wraps his arms around my waist, making me giggle and squirm around in his grip a little. "Get away from me, coffee breath!" I laugh, trying to move away as he pulls me in closer.
