Against The Grain

Chapter 9

Sorry about the wait guys. Went on my honeymoon and a road trip. Oh, and I also lost my job and had to search for a new one. So just been in a bit of a slump/no-fucks-given attitude. But anyways, enough about my life. This chapter was already going to be angsty regardless.

Crystal drummed her perfectly manicured press-ons against the steering wheel. Waiting outside the LAX was already stressful enough, with people honking that you've been sitting at the curb for too long but she wasn't about to give up her spot now! At any moment, Jack was going to walk through those sliding doors and into her car to spend Valentine's weekend with her.

And her present to him was that he's staying with her. Seeing her place for the first time. To put it lightly, she was nervous as shit.

Only her manager and parents have ever seen her house in person, and only them plus her two best friends actually know her address. If fans want to send her things she has a PO box. And her birthday's not until March, so there was no reason for Jack to ask for her address. But now he was about to find out where she lived...

They've been dating for eight months. Surely at the eight months portion of the relationship is a good time to let them in a little closer right? Right? But Crystal was hesitant of her privacy, especially now with so many eyes on her. In her last relationship the guy moved in to stay with her only a few months into dating, and look how that ended up. With him taking advantage of her and cheating on her multiple times. And like a fool she stayed with him. Because she "loved him". Until he pushed her over the edge by bringing his ex from three states away to live in their town - with his MOTHER of all people! That was the final straw, to where she broke up with him, packed up all her things, and moved cross-country. Sometimes she wondered whatever happened to them, if they were still together or whatnot. She never saw them any of the times that she's visited back home.

'Well good riddance. The two fuckers belong with each other,' she thought bitterly, a crease forming over her forehead. She's completely moved on from the whole ordeal, but thinking back on it still lights a fire in her from time to time. She was such a fool! It was a good learning experience. A harsh one, but good none the less.

Letting out a breath, she tried to calm her nerves, letting thoughts of her ex drift away. Glancing over at the door, she saw it slide open to reveal her green-haired boyfriend, newly dyed just for this trip to see her. She rolled the window down on the passenger side, leaning over slightly in order to catch his gaze. She tooted the horn once. "Hey!" she called, seeing his grinning smile shine in her direction before jogging over. She popped the trunk and gestured back to it, Jack quickly following to do so, before sliding into the passenger seat.

"Hey baby," he said, leaning across the console to kiss her, Crystal moving a hand up to cup his cheek, never wanting to let go. She missed his kisses, his touches, so so much... Rolling her tongue, she swiped it across his lips, feeling Jack shudder against her. Seems he missed her just as much. "Let's get to your place so I fuck your bones," he groaned out lowly, and just hearing the words flow out of his mouth made her panties wet.

"Careful Jack, or you're gonna make me pull over on the side of the road," Crystal purred back at him, pulling the car into drive and leaving the airport.

"Your car seems a bit too small for that," Jack commented, looking around in her convertible sports car. It's true; there really was just enough for two people and that's about it. Crystal hummed in agreement.
