chapter 12

delia had just been picked up by jack at the airport and were now on the way to the hotel. jack kept rambling about how excited he was that she was meeting his family. everyone knew that jack was very close with his family and that they had a huge impact on his relationships. that was one of the many things delia admired about jack. even now, despite the amount of stress and anxiety it was causing her.

the car was filled with quiet music coming from the radio as jack and delia were soaking up each other's presence. he was playing with her hand as he drove, not wanting to let go of her. usually this gesture would calm delia down, but her heart continued to race as they neared the hotel. she couldn't stop thinking about what emery had suggested.

"do we have any plans tonight?" delia asked out of the blue.

jack, still focused on the road, responded, "i just have to go to practice in an hour, but i don't think there's anything after that. why?"

"i just wanted to see if we could have some alone time," delia looked straight at jack this time. she was waiting to see his reaction and response.

jack smirked, "alone time? what might that include?"

delia pretended to think for awhile and responded, "whatever you want." jack's smirk grew and kissed her hand.

they arrived to the hotel and jack helped delia with her luggage. jack already had the room key, so they made a b-line to the elevator. they were the only ones in the elevator and jack was becoming very affectionate. he kept placing kisses on her neck and holding her very close. it soon turned into him pinning her against the wall. normally, jack isn't ever like this.

"as much as i love this, we are in an elevator and we're about to be on our floor," delia reminded him. he quickly snapped out of his trance and composed himself.

the elevator dinged, signifying that they had reached their floor. jack practically raced towards their room. delia wasn't sure if he was just wanting to get ready for practice or if he had something else in mind. either way, she ran after him.

"why are we running?" delia called out to her boyfriend. jack never responded and instead when straight into the room.

delia finally got to the room and jack had left the door open by placing her luggage in the doorway. she moved her stuff out of the way and was confused she couldn't find her boyfriend.

delia asked, "jack, where are you?" suddenly, she heard shuffling come from the bathroom. she turned the corner and there was jack taking off his shirt.

jack noticed delia and said to her, "you just going to stand there or are you going to join me?" delia was confused at first but then saw him turn on the shower.

"don't you need to go to practice soon?" she didn't want him to get into any sort of trouble.

jack starts to fully undress and replied, "i have some time i can spare." delia was still hesitant, but followed jack's lead.

he roughly started kissing delia, which caught delia completely off guard. she kissed him back as jack moved her closer to the shower. he was about to open the shower when his phone started going off. initially, the couple ignored it and continued what they were doing, but it kept ringing.

jack huffed, "hold on, let me take that. i'm not done with you yet."

delia stood there completely vulnerable, frustrated, and confused. she was experiencing a whirlwind of emotions. something was off and she couldn't figure out what. jack loved her and she knew that, but their connection wasn't how it used to be. delia had felt essentially nothing during their makeout session. she had convinced herself that it had something to do with her nerves for tomorrow. to her, that made the most logical sense.

delia was snapped out of her thoughts when jack announced, "so that was nico. apparently, coach wants us there half an hour earlier which means i need to leave like now. when i get back, we can pick up where we left off."

"you better get going then! i'll see you when you come back! i'll be waiting!" delia winked at the end, earning a huge grin from jack.

jack quickly changed and grabbed his belongings. he gave delia a quick kiss before leaving the room. once he left, delia sighed and a laid down on the bed jack and her were to share. in all honesty, delia wasn't sure if she was up to having sex with jack. maybe it would calm her nerves, maybe it wouldn't. she just didn't want to do something that didn't feel right. that was the least of her worries though. delia needed to focus on tomorrow.
