Torn up. ~Flamingeos Fanfiction

Chapter 94

Ariel's POV - Before Lucy finding out.

I was so happy that Jack wanted me to stay over his. Even though he admitted to liking Lucy, I still felt as though I had a chance. After our deep conversations he's been looking at me differently, almost as though he likes me. There's a sparkle in his eyes which makes the butterflies in my stomach go crazy. 

We sat on his bed and laid down. I felt my cheeks blush when his foot rested against mine. He then turned his head and looked at me, his face so close to mine that I could barley even focus on his handsome face properly. 

"You know.. I don't think I like Lucy anymore." He said. His voice sounded kind of raspy, almost as though he was tired. He then looked at my lips and back at my eyes and I felt my entire body blush. 

I stared at his, and felt shocked when he actually began to make a move. His hand touched the back of my head and his nose touched mine. He then kissed me before I was even prepared. I kissed him back, still frozen in shock. 

His hand was in my hair now and was messing it up. This felt so weird.. yet so.. amazing. We've only known each other for two days and we're already.. kissing. How am I getting so lucky? Does he really like me? Or.. is he using me as a distraction from that gorgeous Lucy who doesn't like him? Or am I being paranoid..?

I began giggling when we stopped, and he quickly pulled me to him and kissed me again when we heard the word Ariel.

My heart was thudding now, but not because I was in love. It was because I was scared. Not only was I scared that Jack only went to kiss me again because he wants Lucy to find him and get jealous, but because I was scared that Lucy would get jealous and then get angry at me. 

Jack then quickly let go when we heard footsteps towards our bedroom and stood up. He looked in the mirror, obviously noticing how much of a mess he looked and then walked out of the room as if nothing just happened. I sat up on the bed and followed him, confused. 

He must have used me. Yet, why does that make me not want to avoid him? Why does that just make me want to fall in love with him more? 

The second I walked out of the room I saw Lucy stare at Jack with a face so sad that it made me want to cry. 

Lucy defiantly likes Jack. 

But her face popped up when she saw me. I couldn't tell if she was faking it for me or if she was genuinely happy that me and Jack got along very well. 

I forced a smile for her even though that's the last thing I felt like doing and watched her fake acting all happy when Jack told her that me and him are dating. 

Wow.. me and Jack are dating. Already. This is too soon, Jack must not like me already. He can't just get over a beautiful girl like Lucy so soon to like me. (not hating on Ariel, she's beautiful)

And then, before I could even blink, Lucy was gone. 

I walked to stand by Jack who was staring at the wall as though he was going to cry. I then put my hand on his back and tried my best to reassure him. 

"She's got a boyfriend, she's happy." Was all I could think of. "Don't worry Jack, she doesn't care about us both dating."

But that just seemed to upset him even more. Which is defiantly a huge sign of Jack fancying her. 

I wanted to ask if I'm in the way of him and her but then I was scared of him saying yes and not wanting to have anything to do with me ever again. It's selfish of me, I know. But Lucy has done selfish things with Geo and she gets away with it, so surely I can as well. 

I went to Jack's room to grab him a top and then threw it towards him, impressed by how he caught it even though he realised I was throwing it at him a millisecond before it reached him. 

He put it on and then walked past me as though I was invisible to put his shoes on. After his shoes were on he left the house, leaving me there feeling stranded and confused yet again.
