My Heart and Other Black Holes (My Heart #1)

Chapter 20

The two of them got to their road and Jack walked to his door whilst Rowan stumbled to hers. Suddenly, she sat down on the wall between the houses and put her head in her hands. "What's the matter? Alcohol finally kicking in?" Jack joked. Rowan shook her head.

"I forgot my keys!" she wept.

"There's no reason to cry about it," Jack smirked as Rowan continued to sob.

"Yes there is! How am I meant to get into my house?" she exclaimed impatiently as Jack opened his front door.

"You don't have to," he replied.

"Yes I do! Where the hell am I meant to sleep?"

"Mine, idiot," Jack chuckled. Rowan looked at him like he was an idiot. "You can sleep at my house and we'll sort out the door problem in the morning," he explained.

Rowan sniffed. "Why are you being nice to me?" she asked suspiciously.

"I'm a pretty decent guy," Jack grinned.

"You're an arse," she pointed out.

Jack nodded in agreement but said: "You're not much better. Get a move on," Rowan stood up and walked up Jack's garden path. "Shall we?" he asked; holding his arm out for her to grab. She smiled gratefully.

"Thanks,"

"No problem," Jack smiled back. He bought Rowan up to his bedroom and started rooted through his drawers for some clothes for her to wear in bed. He finally came across some of his old Spiderman pyjama bottoms and a plain white t-shirt.

Rowan raised her eyebrows and smiled. "Spiderman fan, are we?" she teased; taking the clothes. Jack rolled his eyes.

"You can get changed in the bathroom and sleep in Dan's room," he said. Rowan went to get changed but instead of going to Dan's room, she went into Jack's room. "Amy? Are you okay?" Jack asked; noticing that her cheeks were wet with tears.

"I think I might have been crying vodka," Rowan joked.

Jack laughed and moved closer to her. "Let me get that for you," he said softly; brushing away her tears with his thumb.

Rowan stared into Jack's eyes, he stared back, and then suddenly, out of nowhere, their lips pressed together. Their kissing turned fiery and passionate, and soon, Jack was pulling off Rowan's top. She did the same to him and he gently pushed her onto his bed, kissing her neck softly; hovering above her.

She pulled Jack's jeans down and he pulled off Rowan's pyjama bottoms. Now they were both only wearing underwear and they were back to kissing each other furiously.

Jack unclasped Rowan's bra and slid it off her, kissing her breasts gently. A soft moan escaped her lips and Jack grinned. She took off his boxers and put her arms around Jack's neck and kissed him on the lips. Both of them were smiling as Jack slipped Rowan's underwear down her legs.

They were really about to do this.

...

When they were done, Jack and Rowan laid down side-by-side. Rowan turned to face Jack and he smiled at her. "That was amazing, Amelia," he said softly.

At his words, Rowan's smile disappeared as she remembered that Jack didn't know who she was. "It was," she agreed sadly. Then turned around. Jack put his arms around her so they were spooning.

And they fell asleep like that; tangled together.
