Rumours Ruin Reputations (All Time Low FanFiction | Jack Barakat)

Just a Simple Little Date with a Big Ending

I ran the towel through my hair one last time as I walked out of my bathroom completely naked. You couldn't look into my house anyway. My house was gated and in a gated community, it was impossible for anybody to enter and watch me unless they literally stood in my garden, trying to look through the windows that reflected a lot of light. Nobody got in without passing through the security first, who always called me when somebody was there and I didn't notify them about it beforehand. It was always a way to ignore all the people I didn't want to socialize with. If I had a shitty day and my agent came over to talk, I would just tell the security to tell her that I wasn't home. It was as simple as that.

Now, however, they already knew who was going to be coming. Jack and I had texted back and forth the last couple of days before he actually got the courage to ask me out. You see, I was totally all for the girl making the first move, and I would have done it if it weren't for the fact that I really enjoyed the constant flirting going on between us. I wasn't sure if something would blossom between us, but I was definitely prepared to at least have a fling with him. I mean, I was definitely sexually attracted to him, and the fact that he actually had an amazing personality made me want to pursue it. Maybe I didn't have any other one night stands or relationships while on those breaks with Travis, but now I felt like I actually could do it without feeling weird about it. I wasn't the girl that was shy about it.

Jack had made a reservation at a pretty fancy restaurant. I had been completely ok with something that didn't cost any money, but he insisted. However, I did request that he ask for a table somewhere in the back. It was the worst trying to eat somewhere only to have cameras flashing outside, ruining your entire meal. I did not need this date to fuck up just because some people spotted me being out. Was it really that interesting to know what I was eating? It wasn't like that would drastically change somebody's life, other than mine. People would always comment on things like that, telling me how to eat and live my life.

Anyway, although I knew nobody would see me, I still wanted to quickly get dressed. I had luckily already planned out my outfit days before, having to look through my entire walk in closet to find something I deemed appropriate. It had to been classy, yet not too formal; enough to get Jack's attention, but definitely not too much to be slutshamed by the media. However, the latter seemed to concern me the least. They could call me a slut all they wanted, as long as I knew what was the truth and be people closest to me knew the truth, I was fine.

I settled on wearing some clothes I felt comfortable and sexy in . The army green palazzo pants I had never worn before fit nicely around my waist and made sure there wasn't too much showing off my stomach because of the black front cross bralette I was wearing. I decided wearing very high heeled golden puzzle sandals by Sergio Rossi were the only shoes that would do the outfit justice and give me some extra length. Of course I matched all my jewelry to the color of my shoes. I had learned a couple of things from all those years being styled by professionals.

Judy walked in while I was trying to pull on the top without ruining the makeup I had already done as soon as I came out of the shower. Now, that was a mistake I had made. I often did my makeup before clothes, but that only worked if what I was wearing wasn't tight. Luckily, I managed to maneuver she shit around my head and onto my body without fucking it all up. I didn't have any time to have to redo my entire face. With only half an hour left, I only had the time to do my hair quickly.

"You look good," Judy grinned, eying me up and down while leaning into the doorway to my closet. She had just put her phone back in her pocket and was ready to leave, having decided to stay a bit longer and wait with me until Jack came, you know, in case he stood me up. I, however, had complete faith in Jack and knew the hours I spent getting ready weren't going to go to waste. Hell, I even waxed everything for this!
