Riptide (a lauren jauregui love story)

part 13

Jacksons pov
It's been 2 months, my first single Gentleman came out and did overly well. My EP is coming out in 2 or so months. my manager has me on tour with the girls which should be fun. The tour starts in a week. It's me, the girls, Jasmine V, and Shawn Mendes. This should be real fun. Lauren decided to work things out with Camila so that sucks but I'm happy as long as she is. Lies, who am I kidding I'm miserable Watching the girl I love love someone else but I am happy for her. We hang out a lot. Like a lot. We're best friends except I have feelings for her. Camila hates my guts but she'll have to get over it, because Lauren and I are just friends thanks to her. Dinah knows about my crush fucking eavesdropper. I don't mind me and Dinah have gotten really close. Right now we were in an interview all of us. Me on the end next to Lauren, then camila, then Dinah, then Normani, then Ally, then Jasmine then Shawn.
"So welcome ladies and gents!"
"Thanks!"
"So first question for the girls what are you most excited about for this tour?"
"Well I feel like we are excited about..." Normani and Ally tag team this long drawn out answer. Camila tries to play with Lauren's fingers but she pulls away.
"Jasmine what's it like on the bus with the girls?"
"Actually we are on different buses but its.." I keep unintentionally stop listening. I grab Lauren's hand slickly and play with her fingers.
"So Jackson?"
"Huh?" I drop Lauren's hand who pulls it right onto her lap.
"So Jackson what are you excited for? And explain your tour diaries plan!"
"Uhm really getting in touch with the fans and giving them previews to my EP and things like that. They really loved Gentleman than i don't know how they'll react to the EP. I want to hear from them and get in touch with them. I don't want to hide a piece of my life from them. I want them to see me on stage and offstage so these tour diaries will let them see backstage. They will get to see all of my processes what we do for fun backstage. It will be a surreal thing for me and for them."
"That sounds cool so let's play a game Kiss, Marry, Kill!" The interviewer says.
"Ok well start with you Shawn we have Chloe Grace Moretz, Jade thirwall from little mix, and Camila." Lauren's head shoots up in that direction.
"Ooh that's difficult I feel like I would kiss Chloe, Marry Camila, and kill Jade."
"Why?"
"Because If I say that I'd kill Camila she'd kill me same goes for Chloe but Jade would never hurt a fly." They all laugh, even Lauren forces a chuckle but glares at him.
"Yeah that's a good choice!" Camila says.
"Alright Jasmine, Austin Mahone, Jacob whitesides, and Jackson?" Lauren's head once again whips in that direction.
"Well definetly kill Austin, I feel like Jacob and I could be friends after a kiss so kiss Jacob and Marry Jackson because he's cool!"
"Thanks Jaz!"
"No problem Broski!" She says in her fake Australian accent. I laugh ands does she. Lauren glares at her too. Damn she's possessive.
We went on and on till it got to me.
"Alright Jackson, Perrie from little mix, Pia Mia, and Lauren."
"Hoi that's easy marry Lauren by far! she's cool but mean when she needs to be so keep me in line and we'd make a pretty good looking couple I mean there's me and then there's her and we're very attractive people so yeah! Plus we can...no we do borrow each others flannels whenever." She laughs and continues to look at me.
"Kiss Pia because she seems like a good kisser and kill Perrie cause If I don't kill her and kiss her instead Zayn might murder me." Everybody laughed at my answers.
"Well we actually gave you the hard one because you know all of them."
"Darling that makes it easier. I know whose more suitable to marry and who I would probably get brutally murdered for kissing!" Everyone laughs again.
"But what do you mean by you guys borrow each others flannels."
"Okay so in rehearsals we kept switching up our flannels until now we don't even know who has whose because hers are big on her and mine fit me just perfectly. So now we just borrow each others whenever to match the shoes we chose that day."
"So you guys are close?"
"Yeah I'm close with all of the girls really I'm different ways. Lauren we exchange flannnels and can talk to each other without an awkwardness or sexual tension which is odd because I mean I'm me..." She slaps my arms and I laugh. " well, Dinah I can talk to about anything and everything, Camila and I share food, Normani and I share hair products cause I mean I gotta get a texturizer every once and a while or split ends. Me and Ally are just buddies overall, she's my little shortstack. Jasmine I'm looking forward to getting to know." I wink are her she blushes lbut hides her face but Lauren catches wind and whispers.
"Well talk about that later!" I'm not sure what that means but I hope that means something good.
"Ok that's all the time we have for today thank you to Shawn Mendes, Jasmine V, the girls of Fifth harmony, and Jack Danielson for talking with us today!"
"Later gators!" I say and everyone bust out laughing.
"What?"
"Your accent makes it sound wierd!" Jasmine explains. I pout and cross my arms jokingly.
"Go see them on tour signing off!" The interviewer says between laughs. The interview ends and some of the girls and guys stay to talk to each other or the interviewer but Lauren grabs my arm and pulls me into a dressing room closing and locking the door.
"We need to talk!"
"About what?"
"About you flirting with jasmine!"
"I was not!"
"You so were!"
"No and even so you don't decide who I can and can not flirt with."
"I just don't like it ok?"
"Lauren you have a girlfriend I need one, want one. I want someone who makes my knees weak when they walk in a room like you do. I need someone to take care of and protect which I want to do for you. I want someone i can hold in my arms and kiss and learn to love unconditionally, I can't wait for you forever especially when I know it can never happen between us!"
"I just need to sort out my feels but you don't have to go around trying to screw every girl without liking her!"
"Lauren you're being selfish! You have me and Camila right now because you're indecisive, you don't care what I want. It sucks and I'm tired of waiting for you. You can't play with my emotions like that. You're juggling them in your hands like some haphazard clown. You can't do that. It fucking sucks to watch you out here kissing her and cuddling with Camila when that's what I want with you!"
"I'm with Camila but I'm conflicted ok? I know I want her but I know I want you, you!"
"Stop Lauren I can't sit here and watch you love someone else I'm hanging out with Jasmine!" I say.
"I want you though!"
"No you don't you want the idea of me, you want both of us! Just let me go you clearly love her more."
"No Jackson no! Don't you like me."
"Lauren I love you but your just a girl, there are others, for example Jasmine! Your fucking with my feelings and I hate it!"
"Ah damn!" She says and presses her lips to mine. They move together perfectly and her hands tug the bottom of my shirt pulling me towards her and holding her at my head level since I'm tall. I kissed back obviously.
"What just happened!"
"You're really hot when you're all riled up!"
"You know you just cheated?" Her face goes from smiling to a straight face as she realized what she did.
"Don't tell Camila!"
"Our little secret!" I pinky swore with her and then we unlocked the door and sat on opposite couches faces in phones. I smirk at her and she smirks back. The door opens later and the rest walk in.
"Hey guys!" Camila says walking in. "
Lauren kept her eyes on her phone but Dinah noticed the faces.
"Why you two smirking?" Dinah asks
"Well if you really want to know it's because..." I looked down at my phone that just dinged
Green eyed goddess💚: Please don't say anything I don't want to hurt her.
"As I was saying we were smirking because Lauren here was jealous of Shawns choice so she was whining all about it to me! She's such a baby sometimes."
"God damn it Jack you said you wouldn't tell!" She pretend whines.
"Well you shouldn't have trust me with something this juicy!"
"Fuck you Jack!"
"Aww babe you were jealous?" Camila asks sitting on her lap. Yeah jealous for me.
"Yeah!"
"Don't be you got me ok?"
"Yeah!" They share a grotesquely long kiss with tongue and all that shit. I had to look away at one point.
"Well now that you guys have made up I am going to go to rehearsal." I left the room with the burnt memory in my head. She was kissing someone else. I need to get over her but I can't she's one of a kind.
