Forbidden-Jack Gilinsky

Ch 10

Jack Gilinsky POV

I wiped the bead of sweat that was falling on my face and had an idea.
"So the scuff mark is off, but I found some things wrong with your car so I think you need to leave it here for a bit longer." I turned my head to see Zoey's reaction, and all her face read was, aggravation.

She got up from the sofa chair and came to see the "problem." I hid the pliers and tried making all the re-wiring look like an accident. "What the. How did this happen, I always kept it in shape. Well except the problem you made."
"I don't know Zoey, but this poor thing is going to have to stay here with me for a while" I patted the car sympathetically and tried looking at her in the corner of my eye.
"How long is a while, Jack" I heard her say through gritted teeth. She lay on the side of the car and crossed her arms waiting for my response.

"Maybe 2 to 3 weeks" I looked at her and shrugged, when she gave me the "you have to be kidding me" face. Next to her, lay all my tools so I reached over for a wrench, because I needed to "tighten" something. I felt her heavy breathing against my neck and I had to keep my smile from showing. Instead of going back to fix the car, I stopped directly in front of her and put both hands near her head to inch closer to her face. "So you may have to check up every day" I whispered and got closer with every word as I gave her a sly smile. Before I got any closer, she laughed in my face and went under my arm, and back out of my reach.

"Ok so I'll come check up on the car every so often." She nodded her head and began dialing a number.
I cursed under my breath and licked my lips just staring at how easily she could make this disappear. While I stood there drinking my water, I tried making out who she was talking to but was completely lost until a loud black charger came in. The tall built up frame got out of the car and came to pick her up, she thinks of everything. Instead of giving her a light kiss on the cheek, like I would expect him to do, he full on grabbed Zoey's fragile looking face into his hands and practically made out with her. As if he was a slick animal marking his territory.

I cleared my throat loud enough for him to know I was still around. "Oh hey Jack, didn't see you there. First reaction you know, sorry man" I crossed my arms and gave him a phony chuckle.
"That's alright, I mean I would do the same thing" this time actually giving him a real chuckle. Shawn squinted his eyes at me and gripped onto Zoey by the waist, but still managed to give me his innocent little boy smile. And to think, I once thought that he was in fact innocent.
"So we're gonna go now" he spun Zoey around and actually had the nerve to slap her ass. He looked back one last time and clenched his jaw,"Nice talking to you Jack."

Zoey POV

I put my seatbelt on and looked out the window, not wanting to meet Shawn's eyes.
"C'mon Zoey, you can't just be quiet the entire ride home" I smiled at him sarcastically and looked him right in the eye while I turned up the volume all the way. I had my knee shaking up and down to keep me distracted from Shawn's attempts to get me talking. "Zoey, I was just trying to show him that you're mine" he lowered the volume of the radio and that's when I exploded.

"By fucking smacking my ass and practically implanting your tongue in my mouth! I'm not a piece of meat that you can just drag around to show everyone Shawn! Yes I'm ok with you telling people that I'm yours and all that shit but you crossed a line! Where I'm so uncomfortable, as to the point that I don't even want to be in this car with you!!" I screamed out still angry that he took advantage of the situation at the repair shop.
"Well you didn't stop me, did you" he shrugged it off as if I said nothing, and kept on driving.
"Well you did have me pretty gripped on so I couldn't fucking do much!" I sighed as I let my last furious breath out.

The car slowed down and stopped when we reached the front of my house. "Look I'm sorry for everything I did, I know I was being a complete ass-"
"Major, ass" I smiled and let him finish.
"Ok I was a major ass, it's just that over the phone you said to look cocky and show Gilinsky who's boss. So I guess I misunderstood what you meant by that."
I couldn't help but laugh,"I did say that didn't I? Well I guess I'm sorry too, but seriously, too much Shawn. Way to touchy for my liking, right now" I winked and laughed as I hopped out of the car.

Jack Gilinsky POV

"I almost had her" I slammed my fist against the lockers as I explained to Vicky.
"Ok chill there, Hulk" she laughed uncomfortably but told me how she was going to get to Shawn anyways. We walked outside expecting for Zoey to come walking, alone, any minute now. Vicky continued explaining to me what she had stored up for this to succeed. Even though I knew how upset Sam was about the entire thing, I still had to approve on Vicky's little annoying plan. That's when the same black Charger came strolling in on the parking lot.

And Shawn coming out as if he owned the place. I didn't want him knowing I was looking at him with disgust, so I threw on my favorite sunglasses and faked a smile. He waved towards us and my smile faded immediately when he went to the passengers side and open the door to a beautiful Zoey. I looked down at Vicky and saw her giving Shawn some flirtatious looks and waves here and there. Until Zoey waved back thinking Vicky was waving at her.
"Annoying isn't it." Vicky nodded her head and took a deep breath before she slapped my arm. "What the hell Vicky, you're small but you hit hard."

"You look scary intimidating, loosen up" she scolded and I tried,"Oh my god you're sticking out your jaw now, never mind, you clearly suck at this. Just don't look directly at them" she shrugged and I took in her advice, which seemed to work.

The bell luckily rang and without realizing, I was walking to class with Zoey, while Vicky left with Shawn.
