Ch7 // Bad Dreams

Maggie - Couple of Kids <3

_____________
-Jack POV-

The next morning I sat in bed thinking everything over. Jesy was on my mind as usual - she lived up there these days.

I was thinking about everything that happened with her. It wasn't just about the intense sexual attraction between us, there was something so much deeper. I don't even know what it is yet.

I planned to find out. But the again...how long do I have until my best friend and Jesy's boyfriend comes to?

Stop Jack! I warned myself to stop thinking like that. I'd be really happy if Gilinsky woke up, I should be happy. Shouldn't i?

"Jack?" Jesy peeked through the door. Her voice was soft and still alluring - I leaned up on my elbow and motioned her inside.

The alarm clock on my side table read 3:30 a.m now.

"Do you mind?" She sat on the edge of my bed. It was still dark outside and I heard the slight drizzle on my windows.

"Get under." I said quietly. Then I added, "it's cold."

Okay it was just an excuse to be close to Jesy. I needed her warmth, her touch, her smell, her everything right now.

Reluctantly, Jesy slid underneath the blanket. Naturally, her body slid perfectly against mine and I held her closer. I didn't have to shift to be comfortable or make her comfy. It just was.

"Bad dream?" I whispered.

Jesy nodded. "I just...just needed you now Jack."

I held her waist closer and covered us fully. She shivered against me and I tightened my grip so I could somehow protect her.

"I'm here." I whispered. "I'm here Jesy."

Jesy was quiet.

"I'm right here." I assured her, and soon enough I heard her soft, steady breathing and knew she had fallen asleep.

As she dozed off, I ran my hand down her neck, shoulder, and arm to her waist.

I just couldn't do that. I shouldn't even be thinking of what I would do with her now. I shouldn't but..

But she looked so wonderful and exciting.

I bit my lip and forced myself to think of Gilinsky. I forced myself to get some sleep knowing Jesy could also get some rest now.

-

I woke up a few hours later. Jesy had gotten up and she was walking out, I caught a glimpse of her thigh as she tiptoed out.

I waited until she left to get up and stretch. I'm glad we could skip the whole 'we spooned and it's probably leading to another lets just be friends talk' factor now.

It didn't clear my feelings and longing for her.

-Jesy POV-

Sue me.

Call me a hoe.

Call me a cheater.

But I couldn't stay away from the feelings I get from Jack Johnson. I know I shouldn't but everything about him was RIGHT.

No. It was perfect.

I had been getting awful nightmares every night. Sleep avoided me constantly but this morning I had five hours of peaceful sleep.

How? Because Jack held me the entire time. He kept those bad dreams away and I appreciated that so much.

Jack walked into Brianna's room while I sat on her bed, she was showering.
