Ours. // J.G.

the morning after.

The next day, everything hurt. I was basically a born again virgin. When I opened my eyes I saw Jack was still there and felt myself smile. I just looked at him while he slept. Last night felt all too surreal. I just watched him. His eyes were closed and framed by thick curly lashes that I was obsessed with. Plump pink lips slightly parted. His chest rose up and down, hair all in his face. I moved closer to him and he instinctively wrapped his arms around me. I slide my leg between his just so I could feel him. I loved knowing he was close to me and that for the time currently being he wasn't going anywhere. I laid my head near his neck and closed my eyes. Not wanting the moment to honestly end. A few minutes later his alarm rang though. I kept my eyes closed and heard him groan slightly as he reached over and shut it off. He plopped his arm right back over me and began playing with the ends of my hair. (Which was hard considering it's short) I could feel him just looking at me and I slowly opened my eyes, and looked up at him. His lips slowly curved into that perfect smile I always fall for.

"Morning sleepy head.." He whispered.

"Morning.." I whispered back.

"Wanna order post mates?" He asked. I nodded and he ordered from some breakfast spot. He pulled me closer than I already was and we just laid in silence. Enjoying each other's presence. He rubbed circles in the small of my back and I closed my eyes, trying to get more rest. I then heard a click.

"Why did you take a picture?" I asked.

"Don't worry about it" he said. I could hear the smirk on his voice. My phone then began buzzing and I knew he had posted the picture.

"Whyyy" I groaned.

"Shut up. It'll let guys know I'm still here" he said. I decided to let it be.

*A month later*

Jack and I have been sneaking around. I feel like we're in the same place as we were last year. I feel like everyone will be too invested in our relationship if they knew we were trying to fix things. Tonight I decided that I had to sit with jack, and have a talk about us.

"Jack?" I said in an almost inaudible voice as I crept into his room. He was laying in bed in grey sweats and shirtless. He sat up and a smile grew on his face. I shut the door behind me and walked over to him. He pulled me by my waist and pulled me onto his lap. I placed my legs on both sides of him, and his hands rested on my butt.

"What's up baby.." He asked. I just looked at him, and worry grew in his eyes.

"Lia what's wrong.." He asked. I shook my head and took a deep breath.

"I think... That we need to decide now. Are we gonna start talking again... Or are we just playing here?" I asked. He rolled his eyes.

"You know. I want you. You know. I want to fix all of this. What kind of question is that you nut." He said. I bit my lip and nodded.

"Why what's on your mind?" He asked. I looked up at his ceiling and released a breath.

"I think we should tell everyone. I fucking hate sneaking around. I want to be able to kiss you-" I said and kissed him.

"I wanna be able to hold your hand, have you hug me from behind, shit even grab my ass in front of everyone. Even if we aren't together together. I just want things to get semi normal." I said. His smile only grew and he kissed my face up.

"You want that? You got it baby." He said. I smiled and kissed him.

"Get ready. I'm taking you out." He said. I stood up and he smacked my butt, making me mug him slightly. He laughed and I smirked.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"Dinner. But dress nice babe." He said

"Don't I always dress to kill?"

I decided on a nude body con dress with nude heels. I straightened my hair which had grew to fall right below my boobs. Insane right? I beat my face with the help of Aidette Cancino's videos and felt confident as I always do. I took a quick selfie and uploaded it wit the caption "date night" and threw my phone in my bag. I walked to the living room where ironically everyone was. Johnson raised an eyebrow

"Oh where could you possibly be going?" He asked. Sarcasm was insanely thick in his voice.

"To dinner with me.." Jack said. He seemed to pop up out of no where. Everyone tackled me and began saying how happy they were that we were working stuff out. Johnson pulled jack aside, and I knew he was lecturing him about hurting me again. I shrugged it off, because I was glad he did it. I'm glad my brother loved me enough to risk his friendship to protect me. When they shook hands, I knew that they were good. Jack crept up behind me and say his hand on my waist.

"You look great.. You ready to go?" He whispered in my ear. He must have just brushed his teeth, because his breath was cool and minty.

"Let's go" I replied

NEXT CHAPTER IS THE DATEEE. I skipped all the annoying shit because we want the juicy shit right away. Shit is gonna start happening now but they aren't gonna be official yet. And I'm thinking about making a part three, if not combining it with this one. What do y'all think? Y'all want another book? I know I wanna write one! But life update. I started college. I was so distracted from righting because I was wasting my time with a lame guy. But now I'm focused again. I know I always say that "I'm ready to focus on writing" but I genuinely am. I love writing for you guys! Y'all motivate me so much. Love you all to the moon and back
