All The Stars-Jack Harlow-FINISHED

21 Questions

"Hi" she utters confusedly as Andrew ,Urb , Solana , Amala, and Montero turn up behind him.They exchange greetings and everyone walks in except Drusk and Jacki. "Food ready yet?" Andrew says practically foaming at the mouth from the smells drifting out from the kitchen. "Basically" she says still not taking her eyes of Jack. "Thank you girl" he says patting her shoulder walking into the house.

The two continue to stare at each other barely even noticing Andrew's leave and Jack smiles "I'm Jack" he says holding his hand out. She laughs a little at the gesture and holds it out for him. "Ettinnette" she says smiling at him back and they hold that eye contact as they continue to shake each others hand.

Alexa walks out of the bathroom into the hallway gaping in awe at the interaction.

"Ey! Stop eye fucking I'm hungry"

Ettinnette's phone buzzes in her pocket as she takes a drag out of her blunt. She passes it back to Davis as she exits the room silently. She checks the caller id and immediately picks it up answering the phone. "Happy thanksgiving Maman" Ettinnette says walking into the hallway alone."Happy thanksgiving to you too my love. Your papa wanted to speak to you honey"  Jaaliyah says and Etinnette quickly responds having not heard her fathers voice in a long time since her parents moved back to New Orleans.

"chérie?" Her father says finally letting the breathe Nette had been holding in release. "Hi papa, happy thanksgiving" Ettinnette says smiling into the phone. "Joyeuses actions de grâce Ettinnette. ma chérie tu voulais me parler plus tôt ?" He says holding back a cough.

"Oh, je voulais juste voir si tu allais bien parce que maman disait que tu ne te sentais pas bien" she says as her father coughs concerning her a little. She hears shifting over the phone and her eyes furrow worried. "Papa?" She questions into the phone. "...I'm fine Ettinnette. I have to go right now but I just want you to know I love you" her father says making her heart fall. What was going on with him?

"Ok père. I love you too" She says and with that he hangs up on her. Ok weird. She sat there in thought trying to put her doctorate to good use as she brainstormed diagnoses for her father on the minuscule amount of information she was given.

"You good?"

Jackman Thomas Harlow perspective

Her body does a full 360 and she stares at Jack alarmed. When she finally registers who he was her face shifts back to its normal form. "Oh yeah I'm fine. What about you? Why aren't you with everyone else?" She says walking into the kitchen. Jack follows behind her sitting down on one of the kitchen island chairs. "I'm not into that kind of stuff anymore" he say shrugging.

"For real?" She says kinda feeling bad she was openly doing it in front of him not knowing it could've made him uncomfortable. "Yeah. It got to a point where that's the first place I would go to when shit happened. So I just stopped it all together" he explains not really wanting to go into further detail about it.

"Oh ok. Damn now I feel like shit for doing all that stuff while you were there. I'm sorry if it made you uncomfortable." She says as more guilt creeps in her stomach. "It's not your fault you didn't know" Jack says trying to reassure her and he gives her a small smile.
