50 Shades Without You

Chapter 13

Ella's P.O.V

Wedding planning was beyond stressful. I was constantly calling someone, scribbling little notes, and inviting. "Jack, I'm going to rip my hair out" I groan. "I can do that for you" He chuckles and I hit his arm. "C'mon take a break, the premier is in two days. Destress, please" He kisses my cheek. "Yeah okay. Just for a few days." I smile. "Great, I'm booking a spa appointment for you and Tasha" He opened his phone. "You really are too good to be true Gilinsky" I mumble and climb onto his lap. 

"Does that mean.." He glanced down at his pants and I laugh. He bit his lip and raised his eyebrows. I nodded as I laugh again. I kissed him anxiously. He picked me up and took me to the bedroom, laying me onto the bed. "Jack" I giggle. He kissed me roughly as I tug at his shirt. He pulls it off followed by mine. "I need this" He smiles as he sucks down my chest. He tugs my leggings off but stop him from removing anything else. I quickly slide his shorts off. He smirks and I began to rub his bulge. "God, stop teasing Ella" He groans.

I remove his boxers and he tilts his head back as my mouth meets his tip. He looks down intently at me as I continue. And suddenly, ding dong. He frusturatingly groans. I chuckle and get up, throw on my clothes, leaving him hanging. I open the door and there stands Amarie. The one and only. "Amarie?" I almost laugh. "Yeah, hey" She musters a quick smile. "Can I come in?" She glances behind me a bit. "Um, yeah" I glance her up and down. I feel a bit of jealousy rise through me. Amarie never looks bad, and knowing her and Jack were once together made me uncomfortable. 

As Amarie walked in Jack walked out. "Babe whos h- Amarie? What the fuck?" He chuckled when he said her name like it was a joke. "Yeah, um, I just wanted to apoligize to you both.. I did some shitty things..and seeing you guys are getting married- I just wanted to be on good terms" She said awkwardly. Jack and I exchanged a glance and then I said "Yeah, uh huh, thanks" and ushered her out. "That was fucking funny" Jack laughed "Now we go back to..." He walked over to me. "Eh she killed the mood" I shrugged.

"Fine" He mumbled. "You're leaving early tomorrow anyway" He kissed my temple and pickes me up. "Jackkkk" I squeal as he carries me to the bed. "Goodnight princess" He quickly turns off the light and jumps in next to me. "I love you" I sigh and cuddle next to him. How'd I get so lucky. I quickly fell asleep.

"Wake up bitch" Tasha yells into the phone, waking me up. "Ugh, what" I sit up. "Get ready for a spa dayyy" She screeches. Still the same Tasha that worked in a dirty night club, just with two kids. I rolled my eyes and hung up. "Morning" Jack smiles as he walks out of the bathroom. "You look good" I mumble, shoving my head back into the pillow. "Get up, fine ass" He slaps my butt and I smile. "Uh huh" I sit up again and actually get out of bed. "Good girl" He chuckles. I throw on a pair of adidas pants and a white tube top. "What're you doing today?" I ask as I put my hair into a pony tail. "Sammy and I are going to help Nate with the kids" He responded and I nodded. I brushed my teeth and slid on my shoes. "Have fun" Jack kisses me before I leave. "I will, love you" I smile and head out.

I pull up to Tasha's and honk a few times before she comes flying out. She jumps in and says "Alex is upset he can't come with us" with a puff of air. I laugh a little. Tasha had lost Natalia's baby weight pretty quickly being that she was a generally small person. We caught up as we drove. The spa was about 40 minutes away so we had a lot of time to talk. "I don't know how you're not stressed about what the boys are doing today" Tasha dramatically leans back. "Babysitting? Their irresponsible but not that much" I chuckled. "What do you mean?" She glances at me side ways. "They're watching Alex and Talia.. right?" My eyebrows scrunch a bit. "My mom is watching the kids Ell. They're going out on some mission to get money from this guy. Guess he borrowed a shit ton from the gang that the boys are associated with. If he doesn't pay up.." She shrugs nervously. He lied to me? 

I bite my lip as the car goes silent. Why would he lie about this? I decide I'll just have to yell at him when I get home. We arrive at the spa place and I realize that Jack must've spent a lot of money on this. There are cute small waterfalls all over and everything was clean and well designed. "Dang Gilinsky must really like you" Tasha mumbles as I check in. "I'd hope so.. since were engaged but ok" I laugh. 

The whole day went pretty smoothly. I was relaxed until we got back in the car at 5:36 PM and I remembered that Jack had lied to me. I shook it off and tried to focus on driving and eating some dinner. I hugged Tasha quickly as we pulled up to her house and she thanked me for today. "Thank Jack" I mumbled and she laughs. As I get home I see Jack's car in the drive way. So, he's alright, good. I let out a sigh of relief and opened the front door. "Hey baby! I'm in the kitchen" Jack yelled. I could smell food cooking. "Jack we need to t-" I walk into the kitchen and am silenced when Jack turns around. His whole forearm was covered with bandages and a wrap. "Jack what the fuck happened to your arm!" I gasp. "Uh I fell off the slide while we were baby sitting" He chuckles lightly but nervously. 

"Tasha told me.." I look down in dissapointment that he wasn't up front about it. "Babe, I'm sorry. I didn't wanna worry you today" He goes to pull me into him but I step back. He looks down at me confused. "What happened" I say a bit quitely. "Nate, Sam, and I had some work to do. I didn't think it was a big deal.. some guy got carried away and slashed me pretty good. That's all. We got our money and left." He loosley explained. I decided to shrug this off. He won't do it again.

"I got an email today.." Jack says as he gets two plates down for us. "Yeah? That's totally crazy babe" I chuckle. "It was from Marice Emiston" He finally says after a moment of hesitation. Maurice. My mother. No, not my mother. She was no mother to me. "W-what'd it say" I sudenly felt my hands melt. "She's in LA, and wants to meet up with us.. I didn't respond but I think we should" Jack says. My whole body feels cold. I've never hated someone with this much strength. "No fucking way" I shake my head. "I know she didn't really take care of you after your dad but.. maybe she's changed" He scoops some pasta onto the plates. 

"You don't know the half of it" I huff and sit down. Jack pours me a shot before handing me my plate. I take the shot gladly. "Do you wanna talk about it?" He asks and joins me. "No, not really. But you deserve to know." I sigh. He gives me a concerned look as I prepare in my head what to say. Then it all just comes out, everything she let men do to me, everything she did to me. A whole new understanding washed over Jack's face. He struggled to find words for a moment but finally said "I'm so so sorry Ell. I had n-". 

"I know Jack" I shrugged. "But- maybe I do want to see her- look her in the eyes, so she knows what she did.. it ruined me for so long but not anymore" I looked up from my plate at Jack. "If you want to.. I can set it up." He nods. I nod once and start eating. We're quiet for awhile before he asks what I'm wearing to the premire. "You'll see" I flip my hair ironically. He just smiles and shakes his head, eating. "But know I'll be looking way better than you" I half smile. "You always do" He takes a bite.
