School's Out || Merrikat

Chapter 16

Kinda important A/N at the end :)

"Jack, I know you're hiding something," Tony told me, scaring me a bit. I invited him out to breakfast at McDonald's, because I was contemplating on telling him about last night with Zack. Even I was still surprised about it, because I woke up with a million questions in my head, and half of them are simply on the subject of him actually kissing me instead of the other way around, like I thought it was going to happen. I have to work tonight, so I know we're going to have to talk about what all happened.

"Ok, fine. Maybe I do." I said. Can I tell Tony? He usually does keep a secret well, but isn't afraid to use people's secrets against them when he's mad at them. He's been keeping my job a secret for a year, so i'm pretty sure he can keep this as well.

"Spill," Tony said, implying that I tell him what I'm hiding. Here goes nothing.

"Okay, First off, you can't tell Kellin." I remind him.

"Why?"

"Because it involves Mr. Fuentes, and I don't want to ruin Kellin's fun with him at the moment." I tell him. Kellin would freak if he found out that he's basically a rebound.

"That would be terrible," Tony said a bit sarcastically. Interesting.

"Yeah," I continued, "Anyways, Zack picked me up from my house last night. We went out to eat and he was talking about him and Mr. Fuentes breaking up-"

"Wait," Tony paused me, "Why did he take you out?"

"He called me beforehand." I answered.

"And why did him and Mr. Fuentes break up?" Tony asked, in a slight bitter tone, like he was trying to hide the fact that he was pissed.

"According to Zack, Vic tries to control him and didn't support him buying out Rian's." I said.

"So Kellin's basically his rebound?" Tony asked, completely switching the subject.

"I don't see it as that, considering Mr. Fuentes has shown signs of him liking Kellin before him and Zack broke up."

"Just like how Mr. Merrick showed signs of liking you before him and Mr. Fuentes broke up," Tony said, raising his eyebrow.

"It's a mess," I commented. "Anyways, after he explain all of that, we went back home and before I got out of the car, he kissed me."

Tony spat out his drink. Luckily, it was just water. I looked at him in disgust and picked up a napkin and wiped off my white shirt.

"He kissed you? What the heck?" He rhetorically asked.

"Yeah, It was insane. He tried to apologize afterwards, but I kissed him again." I said, smiling afterwards, I'll admit, kissing Zack is something I wouldn't mind doing for the rest of my life.

"Wow, Jack. Didn't know you had it in you." Tony hi-fived me. Of course he would calm down as soon s I said that I kissed him instead of the other way around.

"So what happens between you two now?" Tony asked. I shrugged.

"I have to work tonight, so we'll see." I said while smiling. Part of me is hoping that he doesn't regret it. This whole time, I kept telling myself that I was out of Zack's league and that me liking him wasn't a big deal. Ever since he became my boss, My little crush became a huge one, and it was getting worse by the second. I'd be dammed if I got this close to having him and he regrets kissing me.
