THIRD PERSON

"babe !" jack yelled as he put his keys on the table and took of his jacket. "athena !" he tried again, no response. he knew she was home from her location and the fact that she told him she had no plans.

he opened their bedroom door to find no one. walking further down the hall to the studio is where he found her. she had her head phones on, humming.

walking further into the room is when he caught athenas eye. she took off her headphones, a grin forming on her face. "hey"

jack pulled her into a kiss "hey" he mumbled against her lips, giving her another kiss "how was rehearsals ?" jack sighed and sat down on the chair next to her "tiring"

jack had fergie down in atlanta for a couple days doing rehearsals for the VMAS. he had two songs to preform.

"whatcha workin on ?" he tapped her open notebook with his finger. "music" she said sheepishly, pulling the notebook to her chest "can i see ?" jack raised his eyebrows, surprised at the fact that athena wouldnt let him see.

"mmm" "cmonnn" he pulled her rolling chair closer to him "let me see" athena huffed and gave jack her notebook, letting him see the sloppy writing she had scribbled down from all the ideas she had.

jack skimmed over it, disregarding all the doodles she had scattered around the edges of the page. "whos it about ?" he smirked, knowing the love song was about him.

"some cracker" she mumbled, closing her notebook. jacks hands found their way to her sides, tickling her as she laughed. "stop stop" she smiled

jack moved the piece of hair that fell over her face. "you're so pretty" he mumbled, pecking her lips. if athena wasnt black the redness in her cheeks would be glowing.

"im thinking of releasing the album next month" she quickly switched the subject "next month ?" she nodded with a small smile "yea i just have a couple more songs i think"

jacks smile grew on his face. he was beginning to think she wasnt going to release it. "you gonna drop a single first ?" athena nodded "i just dont know which one yet"

...

"alr you good" athena said through the speaker to 21 as he finished his verse. she reached out to him and he agreed on doing a song. he also so happened to be in atlanta and free so athena told him to come over.

jack had left late last night since the VMAS were tomorrow but athena said she was going to catch a flight as soon as she was done recording.

"we good ?" he asked as he walked out of the booth. "yea, ill edit it over the next couple days and ill send it to you before i release it"

he nodded and dapped her up before she walked him out. she quickly made sure everything was turned off before grabbing her suitcase and having dan drive her to the airport.

she was about 30 minutes into the flight when jack called her "hey" she said as she continued to edit the song off her laptop. "you on your way mama ?"

"yea, ill be there in like 45" "you finished recording ?" "yup editing right now, im trynna finish it asap"

she heard him shuffling around "alr ill be there to pick you up" "okay i love you" "i love you too thena" she clicked and continued editing the song before she landed.

after getting off the jet she was embraced by jack. "i missed you" he pecked her forehead "we havent seen each other for like a day" she smiled up at him

"so ?" jack grabbed her chin and brought her in for a kiss, making it short and sweet before getting into the car.





"babyyy" jack whined as he turned towards athena who was sitting down on the hotel bed, still working on the song "hmm" she hummed.

she felt the bed dip as jack crawled next to her and laid his head on her lap. "pay attention to me" he said as he looked up at her.

she pushed her glasses up and sighed, looking down at him. "im working, i needa get this done" he hugged her waist "at least cuddle with me"

she rolled her eyes at how needy he was and shifted to laying down against the headboard, letting jack lay his head on her shoulder.

"im bored" he mumbled after a few minutes "whats urban doing ?" she felt jack shrug "why dont you go hang out with him ?"

"cause i wanna hang out with you" he said as he began to kiss her stomach, working his way down. "no no no" she pulled him up just as he was beginning to pull her pajama shorts down.

"cmonn" "babe i told you i gotta work on this" "just 30 minutes" he said kissing her. she pulled away "jack" "babe just 30 minutes i promise"

she sighed and closed her laptop and jack gave her a cheeky smile, continuing his way down to her lower half, taking off her shorts and diving in.





"babe !" jack yelled from the dressing room. athena walked into the room eating a cracker "whats up ?" "do you like ?" jack did a spin. he was choosing his performance outfit.

"mmm" she murmured as she studied his outfit. "sp basic" she added in. jacks stylist nodded in agreement. "this is the only option ?" she asled his stylist.

"no its just what he picked out" she motioned towards the rack of button ups jack chose from. "all these options and you chose the plain black button up ?" she looked at jack

he shrugged in response "nothing wrong with simple" "you just gotta spice it up a lil" she said pulling out the glittery black button up.

jack smiled at the way her face lit up when she pulled the shirt out. "that one ?" she nodded in response as she began to take it off the hanger.

"Jack ! Athena ! Over here !" Paparazzi crowded them as they were leaving the venue. Jacks hand never left athenas back as he nodded at the people flashing their cameras. the security guard opened the door to the blacked out SUV. Dan was already in the drivers seat to greet them.

"Where are we off to ?" "home"
