Riptide (a lauren jauregui love story)

Part 22

Jacksons pov
I walked off stage and was then tackled into a hug from Lauren who wrapped her legs around me.
"Hey baby!" I say quietly.
"You are the best boyfriend in planet earth!"
"Thank you sweetheart!"
"No like you dorm understand I love you so fucking much! You have no idea how amazing that was. That meant so much to me you have no idea. I would kiss you right now but you know the situation!"
"It's ok baby I'm giving you what you deserve and so long as we're together so many song will be written for and about you because you deserve to be treated like a queen. And queens get art and music made about them so that's what I'm gonna do because I love you!"
"I'm so close to saying fuck it and making out with you right here right now!"
"The girls are watching." I whisper and she doesn't move from her position of arms around my neck hugging me.
"I don't care everything you said up there deserves this!"
"It was nothing I meant what I said!"
"5,000 dollars where did you get 5,000 dollars to give away?"
"My trust fund well what's left I spent a lot on my house both of them then my cars and I donated 20,000 to cancer research a year ago so 5,000 was all I had left. I want to donate more though!"
"5,000 is a lot of money either way but I'm so happy and touched that you're donating money to a cause to help people with issues like me."
"You don't have an issue you have a demon that's trying to overtake you but you have pushed it away. You have beat it because you are standing or hanging here around my neck right now. You have defeated that demon so no you do not have issues, but I am happy that you are happy. I love you!" Her smile got wider.
"I love you too!"
"Now you go shake your ass off on stage and give these people what they came here for."
She jumps down.
"One more thing!" She leads me down a hallway and around a corner into this secluded hallway.
"I can't forget my good luck kiss!" She says and pulls me lips to hers by my neck. It was hard because she didn't have her heels on yet and I'm taller than her. She had to go on basically her tippy toes to kiss me. I pulled her in closer and placed hands on her waistline to make sure she could reach. Our lips moved together quickly as she had to go and change into her costume. I pulled out when breathing was an issue.
"Good luck!" I smirk.
"I definitely will!" She says and struts around the corner. I licked my lips as I stated at her ass. I turned around to go to the bathroom and was met by Ms. Dinah-Jane.
"Oh hey DJ!" I said nervously.
"Don't freak out!"
"I...I wasn't!"
"Jackson stop I already saw you two making out plus you were staring at her ass like a piece of cake."
"Damn it! She doesn't want you guys to know yet."
"It's fine I won't tell but don't make out in an open hallway.
"Thanks for the tip d-Mac but you gotta go to get dressed you're on in 10!"
"Oh shit! Bye Jackie Jack!"
"Don't call me that!"
"Don't make out with your girlfriend in a hallway."
"Dinah be quiet!"
"Be more secretive!" She walks away down the hallway and into their dressing room. I went into the crowd and sat as I watched the girls performance. Lauren stares me in the eyes as she swivels her hips and sexualizes her moves. She did a body roll with her hands going down the side of her body while biting her lip. Let's just say it gave me some feelings that I needed to suppress from showing on another part of my body. After they finished I went backstage to see them. Lauren hugged me then the rest of the girls except Camila for obvious reasons. Shawn ran over to her and they locked their lips together. They sucked each other's faces off while we all cringed in disgust.
"So JackJack you wanna throw a party in our bus!" Lauren asks trying to ignore them.
"Sure!" She smiles and grabs my hand.
"Camila!" I call she continues sucking face with Shawn. I poke her.
"Camila we're throwing a party!" I tell her and she nods. We go to the bus and invite tons of people like crew and stuff that we actually like. We didn't tell our managers or bodyguards. We all went to their bus and set up drinks and food which Dinah bought from CVS because we're cheapos. We got music and everyone came. Everyone being the 5h girls, me, Shawn, Jasmine, 2 tech guys, 2 stylists. It wasn't a big affair. We played the music of all people not on the tour so that it wasn't awkward. Lauren stuck by my side the whole time. We sang and drank and ate and had a good time. I'm not sure what we were celebrating but we were.
"Come on babe lets go dance!" Lauren leads me the literally two steps to the middle of the bus and we danced in the mass of people. It was more like slightly bouncing. It was fun.
"Babe you gotta get more into it!" She criticizes and uses my belt buckles to pull me in closer. I wrapped my arms around her waist as we sensually swayed our hips together. She rested a hand on my shoulder as some Chris Brown song played. I was a little too occupied with my girlfriends hips to notice what song.
"Isn't this too much for in front of your friends?" I whisper and smirk. She rolls her eyes.
"Yeah but so what they suspect something always might as well build up to the announcement." She says continuing to move with the music. A sappy Spanish song came on and all the Latinas in the bus said "aye!" I don't know why but it was weird. They were like in tune. I had taken a few dance lessons in Hawaii so I wasn't too bad I don't think. Me and Lauren cha cha'ed to the music and I let her out and spun her around into me back to front and she moved her hips with my pelvic hip area. I spin her out again and pulled her into me the from way
"Wow Jackson You're pretty good!" She says as we continue to do whatever this dance is.
"My turn Jackson!" Ally says and cuts in to dance with Lauren. Not sensually but they danced. Camila and Shawn tried to dance but he kept tripping over her. Normani and Dinah had their thing going while everyone else sat out. I saw Jasmine looking absentmindedly into her drink. I reached out my hand to her and she took it and stood with me to dance. We danced a little bit. But I felt it was the gentlemanly thing to do. We danced and laughed whenever each other messed up and Lauren was glaring over Ally's shoulder. I caught her gaze and winked. She relaxes a little and looked away blushing a little.
"You ready Jaz I'm gonna spin you!"
She nods. I spin her out and around then back in and dipped her without warning. She squealed a bit but I lifted her back up and chuckled a bit. Some rap song came on so we all changed our dancing style to bouncing to the music.
"Liftstyle!" We all sing out. Jasmine sits down after a while till it's just me, Lauren, and Shamila. Things were gonna get weird. I wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into me. We swayed together while Camila and Shawn sucked face. It was already weird because their tongues were down each other's throats. I have this feeling their or at least Camila is trying to make Lauren jealous. I saw Camila "accidentally" bump into Lauren's back. Lauren looks back then rolls her eyes and looks back at me. Camila, dissatisfied with the reaction she received bumps into us again. This time Lauren completely ignores them. We continue to dance and then for real accidentally bump into them.
"Oh my god Lauren what is wrong with you? You just bumped into us!"
"It was an accident unlike the three times you guys bumped us." Lauren sasses back.
"Oh my god your need for attention is ridiculous! You probably are just jealous."
"Jealous Camila get it through your head I don't care who you kiss or have sex with or date because I don't love you. I am over you! I don't want you! There is no need to be jealous over someone I don't want! I don't care!"
"Your desperate acts for attention are exhausting! You're so needy! Like I would ever waste my time being jealous over someone like you. You're not incredibly hot, you're not sweet, you're too sassy! I don't want you!"
"Ok wonderful words to say to someone with a depression diagnosis! Come on Jack I need you to make sure I don't try to cut my skin again!" She drags me out of the bus and I look back to see the girls watching out of the window. I can hear her sniffles under her jacket hood.
"Don't cry baby girl please!" I say and she flips.
"She's right!" She points at he bus.
"I'm not hot I'm fat and undesirable, I'm mean! I'm desperate, im disgusting, im a disgrace, im the least talented of the group. All of the girls are prettier than me and more talented and nicer and..."
"Are you done?" I ask sassily. "I'm going to need you to stop saying those things about yourself because I'm feeling attacked!" She looks at me confused.
"I feel attacked because you're basically telling me I have bad taste. I think you're gorgeous and stunning, you're so kind and down to earth, you're so talented you're voice is like smooth chocolate deep dark but so delicious. You're delicious. I am in love with you so you saying such awful things about yourself ankles me feel like you're telling me I don't know how to choose a woman. You're telling me I have bad taste and I don't appreciate that." She cracks a small smile holding back a laugh.
"Now darling.." I wipe her tears with my thumbs. "Now stay strong and waltz away to show that butch that you don't give a crap what she says about you because you are strong! God you look so hot I wanna kiss you right now." I say and she laughs.
"I'll settle for a hug!" I say and open my arms she walks in and hugs my waist cause she's so short. Or more like I'm so tall. I kissed the top of her head.
"Now let's go to my bus shall we?" I ask her. She nods and we walk to my bus the girls still watching in the window. Camila looked like she felt bad but you can never tell with her.
