J A C K G I L I N S K Y:
I was cramming my mind with notes for my final Monday morning, it was Sunday night.
I pulled at my hair letting out a frustrated scream.
Jack looked up from his phone raising an eyebrow at me, “babe, you okay?” I shook my letting my head fall into my hands. It was all to much, it was all to stressful, why they throw final exams at you all at one time I will never know.
I felt like my mind was going into overdrive, I could literally see the smoke coming out of my head.
Jack got up from my bed walking over to me, he turned my chair around kneeling in front of me he pulled my hands away from my face making me look at him.
“I think you should take a break.” He said massaging my hand with his thumb.
“I can’t G, I have to study.” I whined blowing a piece of hair at my face. Jack tucked the loose strand of hair that would not go away behind my ear.
“Y/N, you’re going to do fine. You always do. You need sleep that’s what you need.”
“No, I need to study. And you aren’t helping the situation.” I said trying to turn my chair around back towards my desk but Jack had a pretty strong grip on it. I groaned slumping down in the seat.
“Look at you, you have bags under your eyes, you haven’t changed out of my sweatshirt since I got here and that was yesterday, have you even showered today?” Jack said raising an eyebrow at me.
I stared at him trying to rack my brain and remember if I showered today.
“I honestly can’t remember.” I said laughing. Jack raised both of his eyebrows up before laughing at me.
“That’s gross babe!” He said laughing a little louder.
“Do I smell?” I said smelling myself.
Jack leaned towards me smelling me.
“No, you smell like your amazing boyfriend.”
“Mm, will my amazing boyfriend run me a bath with bubbles?” I said kissing his nose.
Jack rolled his eyes before standing up and walking out of my room.
“Oo! With that yummy strawberry stuff!” I yelled after him.
“No you’re pushing it.” He yelled back.
“Love you!” I shouted. I slumped further into my seat closing my eyes.
I heard my drawers being opened and shut, I peeked my eyes open watching Jack retreat back towards the bathroom and come back.
“I know you’re not sleeping.” I smirked raising my hands up.
Jack sighed, before lifting me up and carrying me towards the bathroom.
“You’re a pain you know that?”
“I know.” I said nuzzling my face in the crook of his neck.
Jack opened the bathroom door setting me down on my feet.
“I’ll be back.” He said before shutting the door behind me.
I sighed as I sunk into the bath tub letting the bubbles cover my body, I picked some of the bubbles up blowing them off my hand.
Jack knocked on the door, “are you decent?”
“No, I’m naked.” I said rolling my eyes.
Jack opened the door walking in and sitting down on the floor.
“Feel better?” He asked me.
“Much.” I said sighing in relief.
Jack crawled over to the side of the tub kissing my forehead.
“You look like you haven’t slept in days.”
“That’s because I haven’t. I have finals all week, I’ve been studying all damn week plus my weekend.” I said sighing sinking further into the tub.
“You can’t do that, you’re going to wear yourself out and get sick. And my luck you’ll get sick when I can’t be here to take care of you.”
“I’m fine Jack, I promise. I just want to be able to leave Omaha you know? I don’t want to be trapped here for the rest of my life.” I said raising my hand out of the water and dropping it.
Jack nodded his head, kissing my forehead one last time before he got up and exited the bathroom.
Once I was finished relaxing, I walked towards my room towel drying my hair I opened my door finding Jack finishing my study guides.
“What are you doing?”
“I want you to sleep.” Jack said closing the book.
“They’re all finished.” Jack said getting up and grabbing my hand.
I smiled as he pulled me towards the bed. “I don’t know what I would do without you somedays.” I said crawling into my bed.
“I know.” Jack said following me.
Jack pulled into his chest running his fingers through my wet hair.
He began singing, his voice filled my ears it was a sweet melody.
I felt the lips of an angel on my forehead and my three favorite words, “I love you.”
I never slept so good in my life.
