"Look." I start and then pause, sitting on his bed. He stands above of me with a pissed off look.
"You're fucking with me."
"He is a friend." I quickly say.
"So the fucker is allow to hold your hand?" Jack raises his voice. His hand shakes as he shows the picture again.
"It's friendly. look you need to learn how to trust me." I exclaim, standing up.
"It's not fucking fair that I can't have guy friends while you leave late during nights to go deal "drugs" but to be honest I don't know if you do that."
He sighs, pushing me back down gently into my original sitting position.
"You're mine. Only mine. I don't think you understand that." He deeply chuckles with no humor. "You should be looking at me like that and only me. I should be the only one able to make you smile so hard. My hand should be wrapped around yours not his. You're fucking mine. Not his, not anybody else's." Jack tilts my chin back up so I was looking at him. "Girl, what's better than this?" He mumbles the last part.
I sigh deeply. "I just want communication. You don't even tell me shit no more." I say calmly.
"I'm sorry baby, I don't want to stress you." He says softly, kneeling in front of me. "The business is busier everyday it feels like. But I'm getting new boys to do runs for me. So that problem is slowly being solved." He explains his first problem.
"The guy at the door, major pothead. He buys and then sells at his own price. I don't know, I don't give a shit. But he's all about cheating his way out of deals so I make sure he doesn't do that." Jack looks at my eyes. I run my hand through my hair, nodding.
"Yeah that's it." He says not convincingly. I nod anyways, brushing it off.
"I'm sorry, I went out with him." I apologize. Jack kisses my forehead and then stands up, with a grin.
"It's cool, I'm learning to trust you love. I swear I'm really trying too." Jack looks almost vulnerable as he speaks. I smile, kissing the corner of his lips.
"Thank you." I whisper.
He lays on the bed, bringing me close to his body.
"I've gotta work today." I mumble, looking at the time. I had about an hour to get to work.
"You got class tomorrow?"
"Yeah in the morning though." I mutter, braiding my hair. I leave the strands of hair near my face, tucking some behind my ears
"Alright." Jack holds me tightly as I go through my twitter.
Jack falls asleep as I crawl out of his grip to go to work. I leave a note next to his bed.
"Well you fell asleep while I was going through my phone, but on this side you look so cute so I didn't want to wake you. Text me later!
- Haven xo"
I leave it and get into my car to go to work. I arrive at work.
"Hola Sammy, filing what letter?" I ask, walking inside. Sam stands up from the counter and smiles.
"Start at S, it's messy over there. Thank ya baby." He says back, messing around with the drawers. I nod, filing away. I finish up S-Z in about four hours. It was almost 8 and I was hungry.
"See ya Sammy." I shout before leaving with my stuff.
"Bye!"
I drive over to chiptole and order myself a bowl. While waiting, I check my phone to see a missed call from jack. I call him back.
"Hello?" He mumbles.
"Hello sleepyhead."
"Hi baby, just checking on you."
"Yeah, I'm at chiptole. Want anything?" I ask softly, telling the guy to add chicken to the bowl. He chuckles and mutters a quick no.
"I'm good, coming back soon?"
"Yes sir."
"Okay, see you babe."
"See you love." I hang up and finishing ordering. I finish up ordering and walk back to my car to drive Jack's. I open the unlocked door and sit on the couch to start eating my food.
Jack comes and sits behind me. I lean back against his hard chest and his hands wrap around my waist.
"I like us like this." He mumbles, grabbing one of my hands and locking it. I take a bite from my burrito bowl and nod.
"I like you a lot." I whisper.
"I like you a lot more." He kisses my forehead. We sit in silence as I eat. My phone dings after I stood up to throw away my trash.
9:30pm [from: unknown 716-527-9199] he's mine, leave him and get out of the relationship. I belong w him not u.
I toss my phone at Jack and he reads it quickly, standing up.
"Fuck her." He mumbles. "Hoes always wanna come."
"Maybe, we should take-" Jack cuts me off with a furious voice.
"Do you actually think you are going to leave me because of this whore?" His eyes look into mine. I shake my head and he leaves the apartment with his keys and phone.
"Where are you going?" I yell.
"Don't worry about me!"
I quickly grab mine and walk out to see him already turning out of the complex.
"Shit." I whisper, calling him. It rings two times then I hear his soft voicemail.
"Hi it's Jack, leave a message." I shake my head, closing the door and going to his room. I lay down on the bed and attempt to stay up for him. I then fall asleep around midnight.
*
I wake up the next morning with tight tan arms wrapped around me. I try to get up but he pulls me back down.
"Jack." I mumble. He mutters back a hi and sits up, still holding onto me.
"What happened?" I ask.
"She won't talk to you again." Jack says softly, avoiding my question.
"Jack, I'll leave again if you don't tell me." I bite my lip.
"She's an ex." He says quickly to stop me from leaving.
"oh."
"She doesn't mean a thing. I'm all about you baby."
I nod, leaning my head against the head board.
Jack's lips cover mine in a rough kiss. I kiss back feeling the same usual sparks.
"You're my everything, I promise." He says with his head against mine.
I nod, taking a deep breath. "I'm all about you too."
