Jack and I stayed at the pool for another 15 minutes, neither of us talking. I decided it was getting late and that I should get ready for dinner. I got up and waved goodbye to Jack, getting on the elevator back up to my room.

I wasn't really interested in doing too much to my hair so I let it down from its ponytail and just brushed it out. I put on a little concealer to cover up how red I'd gotten from sitting in the sun all day. My mom knocked on my door telling me that we had to go up to the penthouse for dinner.

As we stepped off the elevator I was in shock. Partly because the view of the ocean was incredible, and party because the view of Jack in a suit was incredible. He was still an asshole but there was no denying that he was attractive. He soon spotted me and walked over, wearing his signature smirk.

"Hey Case"

"Don't call me that."

"Why not? I think it's cute"

"Well I don't..."

"Hm. Someone's in a feisty mood. What do you say we skip dinner and put that attitude to good use.. If you know what I mean"

I could feel my face getting red as he said that. I was not used to guys like him flirting with me.

"Go fuck yourself Jack"

"Gladly."

Just as I was thinking of what to say next Jack's dad announced that dinner was ready. I went to sit down next to my dad, but he tapped my shoulder and said to "go sit with Jack"
I begrudgingly walked over and sat next to Jack, inching my chair away from him as I did.
Dinner was going well until halfway through Jack decided it was ok to put his hand on my thigh.

I brushed his hand off quickly and he looked shocked, like he wasn't expecting it.
"Not everyone wants to be touched by you Jack."
A look of embarrassment flashed across his face for only a second before it returned to the smirk it seemed was permanently stuck there.

Dinner finished and my parents said goodbye and thank you to Jack's dad. On our way down the hall to the elevator I heard my name being called.
"Casey! Case!"
I sighed internally. Hadn't I just told him not to call me case?? I turned around and stared at Jack running down the hall. When he got to me he was pretty out of breath.

"You forgot your phone on the table" he said slowly

"Oh ok thank you.. And please stop calling me Case."

"Oh yeah right sorry" he said quickly "Hope to see you around Casey."
I muttered a quick "bye" and got onto the elevator. I checked my phone seeing that my contacts were open. There was a new contact under the name "Your Favorite Asshole" I just closed my eyes and put my head against the wall and whispered "this boy I swear..." to no one in particular. It was going to be hard to stay away from him.

Surprise bet you thought you'd seen the last of me :) Idk I got inspired so I wrote this... I think this is the longest chapter I've written oops. Hope you enjoy.
