affair II ; jack gilinsky

savannah's pov

i resulted into staying seated at my table with a drink in my hand, whilst kendall and theo went off to dance once again. every single song happened to be their favourite, so hanging out with them turned out to be no fun.

the event has only been going on for forty-five minutes and i was already feeling like going home.

but i began wondering what jack was up to right now. whether he was still working hard at the dining table with a cup of coffee on the side, even though i tell him countless times to not drink coffee after 9pm.

or if he adorably fall asleep on top of his work or just gave up and is now sitting on the couch watching new episodes of modern family without me.

i helplessly chuckled to myself at that last one, taking out my phone to start sending a text to him before it was gently taken out of my hands.

"in what part of cinderella does she sit at an empty table, drinking a prosecco and texting with a pouty face?" max appeared, dangling my phone out of my reach.

"i'm not cinderella though, am i?".

he sat down beside me, "but judging from how great you look tonight, you're 99.99% close".

i wasn't quite sure how to respond to that without evidently blushing, so i decided to change the subject.

"can i have my phone back, please?" i begged, trying to reach his other hand.

max laughed at my failed attempts, "who are you texting any ways?".

"jack - now give it back" i answered and finally pulled the phone out of his hold.

he narrowed his eyes, "even after he was a total jerk to you?".

"don't call him that," i said, restarting my text. "...and you just don't get it".

hope you're doing okay

love you

i sent the two messages, then locked my phone before max sighed.

"i do get that he made you upset".

i huffed, pulling my hair back slightly, "he made me upset, i made him upset, that's what occasionally happens in relationships, but we get over it and move on".

"but—".

"and you need to stop checking up on me, max. you have a date with you" i quickly told him, so this topic would be over.

he sat back against the seat, "well for one, i can't enjoy maya's company whilst wondering if you're okay or not".

"i'm fine...honestly".

"i know that you're not, savs" he said, unusually using my nickname. it instantly caught me off guard, that i stared at him blankly. "what?".

i shook my head to snap out of it, "sorry, it's just-it's just that no one's ever called me savs except for jack".

"oh sorry, yeah, he warned me about that one".
