Forbidden-Jack Gilinsky

Ch 5

Jack Gilinksy POV

Whenever Johnson has the chance to pounce, he goes for it. Usually I'd help out and real in the girl, but now it didn't seem like something I wanted to do.
"C'mon I know you hate her, but help me out" Johnson begged while bumping into my shoulder.
"Man I don't know" I began by ruffling my hair,"You know how my folks feel about the Marshall's" and so do I.
"Which makes it even more exciting," this time he stood in front of me, not letting me pass to the parking lot.

"Ok whatever," I shrugged. I stared at him as he jumped up and down clapping,"I said I'd help get you the girl, not help you become one" I said laughing.
"Look there she is" Johnson pointed as Zoey inspected her car "How do I look?" he smoothed out his shirt and spread his hands out letting me see him.

"Like crap" I blurted out, he didn't look bad, but it came out anyways.
"What" he chuckled awkwardly.
"Uh I meant, cute" I wanted to bang my head against a wall now.
"Ok now I think you're becoming the girl" he laughed and walked over to Zoey. I cracked my neck and followed Johnson, like a reluctant puppy.

"Hey babe," Johnson said wrapping his arms around her waist. I looked away annoyed, and pulled on my backpack strap. I honestly expected Zoey to kiss Johnson or something, but I should have known better. She elbowed him in the stomach and reached for something inside her backpack.
"Zoey, it's just us" I grabbed her wrist and let her calm down.
Which to my surprise, actually worked.
"Don't do that, I was about spray you with this" she pulled out her pepper spray smiling.
"You're crazy" I said with a smile plastered across my face.
"One of the things I like about myself" she said pretending to lift up an imaginary collar around her neck.

"Ok then," Johnson trailed off looking back and forth between us. I cleared my throat and let go of her smooth wrist, "So do you need a ride babe" he asked leaning against my car.
"I'm not yours to call babe, and yeah this Jack was going to give me a ride" she motioned to me with her head. She smiled at me deviously, since I knew why she called me Jack.
I sighed and grabbed the keys from my pocket, as I was walking towards the drivers seat, I heard scuffing behind me. "Let me drive G" Johnson took the keys without letting me respond. I rolled my eyes and threw my backpack in the back and sat down on the passenger's seat. Zoey looked at both of us but shrugged it off and sat in the back anyways.

Zoey POV

It was a quiet ride and the only thing I did was play around with phone. Johnson attempted to flirt with me but I managed to talk to him normally. I swear I heard Gilinksy laugh, when Johnson asked me why I needed a ride.
"The idiot next to you left a big ass mark on my car, and now he has to fix it for me" I topped it off with the smile I knew Gilinsky "loved." "Which reminds me, Jack you need to start working" he turned around and stuck his tongue out at me.

I rolled my eyes and he turned back around to look at the street. Before he could look back, I smiled to myself. That's when I looked outside the window and couldn't recognize anything familiar.
"Where are you going?" I asked as my eyes followed the passing houses.
"My mom just texted me saying she needs me home. So my house." Johnson looked through the rear view mirror and winked.

I slid my hands down my face and saw Gilinsky turn his head to me. I searched his face, wondering what he was trying to tell me. It contained,of course, absolutely no flaws. Although his eyes said 'sorry,' his lips said 'come to me.' In that moment I wanted to give in and melt away, but being the stubborn girl I am, I forcefully arched my eyebrow and scoffed. He shook his head and mocked me. I rolled my eyes and thought about how stupid I am.

"Bye babe" I heard as the drivers door closed. I waved at Johnson and got out to sit on the passenger seat. Gilinsky and I crossed each other when we switched seats, and I was stupidly scared.I twitched when the door slammed shut behind Gilinsky.
I was surprised when my mouth decided to speak, "You ok?" I looked at the rear view mirror and saw his eyebrows relax and eyes soften. I guess he is.
I looked at the time and wondered why it was taking so long to get home. "Please hurry up, my parents are going to be really worried?" I guess that may have sounded harsh, but my parents are going to kill me for not showing up to eat with them. They always needed me to be there, I don't know I guess they want to be forever united.

He stayed focused on the road and pursed his lips. The car ride was too silent so I reached over and raised the volume on the radio.
He gave me a glare and I laughed,"It's too quiet, we need this."

"Fine, but put something good on," she shrugged and put in the first station she saw. The radio host finally shut up and a guitar solo began to play.

All the strings attached girl
All the strings attached girl
Oh yeah.

"Aye, this is my boy Shawn" I turned up the volume and turned to Zoey, who looked completely lost.
"What?" She laughed,"You know the guy who sings this?"
"Yeah during the summer I went to Canada, and Johnson and I would hang out with him. Good kid" I nodded my head and shrugged.
"Lucky, this summer I did nothing" she crossed her arms and pouted.
"Stop complaining and stick your bottom lip back up" I chuckled as the song was nearing the end.
"I will now that I know you were staring at my lips" she teased.

I didn't know what to do so I laughed, which ended up sounding like a crying dog. Thank goodness Zoey ignored me and was humming along to the song. The song ended and the radio host came back on.

"So Shawn any exciting news?"
No shit, now we know he does. You could hear Shawn snicker,"Yeah I do actually"
God get to the point...
"Go ahead tell them" the perky radio host basically demanded.
"Well for my next tour, I'll be heading out to Omaha, Nebraska." My hands slipped off the steering wheel, but luckily Zoey caught it before we drifted off anywhere else.

"Jack I think you're fangirling, and it's honestly scaring me" I had my mouth open and I made some type of shrieking noise. I looked over at Zoey to see her with wide confused eyes. Although my hands were back on the wheel, I couldn't help but feel excited.
Shawn's the true MVP.
"Sorry almost lost my masculinity there" I said now relaxed.
"No you did lose your masculinity" she laughed as I stopped in front of her house. After her lame joke, she relaxed and smiled at me.

I licked my lips and thought about every single possible outcome that would happen if I just tried to kiss her...
