The Bad Boy (Jack Gilinsky)

Chapter Nineteen

"Yeah what do you think it is?" He said chuckling to himself. I blushed slightly embarrassed.“Since when do you smoke pot?" I asked him surprised. "Since forever" He said grinning at me as he began to roll it up. "You never told me" I replied staring at him intently as he did. “You never asked..” He said smiling at me as he finished rolling it. He reached into his pocket again pulling out a lighter. He clicked it a few times before it lit. He leaned the joint into the flame igniting it. Placing it in his mouth taking a drag. holding the smoke in his mouth for a few seconds before releasing it.

He coughing slightly before turning to me, offering it to me. I thought about it for a second and what’s the worst that could happen. I placed it between my lips taking a drag like I saw Jack do, keeping the smoke in my mouth for a while before coughing it out. "That wasn’t bad" Jack said grinning. "How do you feel?" He continued. “Fine..” I said beginning to laugh uncontrollably which made Jack laugh too. We sat in the car for a while, smoking and talking. I can’t remember the last time Jack and I talked like this. I can’t tell if it was the pot or maybe we were just growing closer. Well whatever it was I liked it.

We must have fallen asleep in the car because when I woke up I was in the front seat of Jack’s car just as he sun rose. As the sun rose it shone on his face, waking him. He stretched looking at me in confusion. "Morning" He said mid stretch. “Morning we’re late for school" I said grinning at him. He pulled out his phone checking the time. "Well there’s no point going in now is there?" Jack said smirking. “Jack Gilinsky are you suggested we ditch school?" I said gasping in an overdramatic tone. "Yes that’s exactly what I’m suggesting" He said chuckling.

"You’re such a bad boy I don’t think it would be smart of me to go with you" I said folding my arms. "Well you were never that smart anyways" He said winking at me which I couldn’t help but smile at.

We drove around town for a while trying to figure out what to do. “Want to go to the beach?”Jack said turning to me. “The beach? it’s like 7 degrees outside?” I said raising an eyebrow at him. "We don’t have to get in, let’s just take a walk" He said pulling into the beach car park.“I could handle the pot thing but walking on the beach in Winter is just too much? you’re just too rebellious for me” I said sarcastically. Jack just chuckling as he opened the my door me. Taking my hand as I stepped out of the car which sent a slight tingling sensation up my arm which hasn’t happened in a very long time.

Jack began running dragging me along with him. I giggled as I ran to catch up with him. He sprinted directly into the waves splashing me in the process. He leaned down cupping a handful of water and throwing it on me. I gasped. "Jack stop it’s so cold" I said hugging myself to keep in the heat. “Come on live a little” He said chuckling as he picked me up throwing me into the water but I quickly grabbed his sweater pulling him down with me.

I through my head back laughing as I resurfaced. "You’re going to pay for that" Jack said standing up again. "You started it" I said beginning to chase me down the shoreline. Jack eventually caught up to me grabbing me by my waist swinging me around. I laughed as I fell down in the sand. Jack chuckled as he sat down beside me wrapping his arm around my shoulder. We sat on the shoreline for a while until I began to start shivering from the cold. “Here take this”Jack said wrapping his jacket around me that he had thankfully taken off before I pulled him into the water. “Thanks” I said looking down and smiling as he draped it over my shoulders.

We sat there in a comfortable silence for a few minutes, just watching the waves roll in and out. I felt Jack’s eyes on me and I turned to meet them. "What?" I asked him as he stared at me. He shrugged “Nothing..I just like this” He said half smiling at me. "You Like what?" I asked him.“I Like us" He said smiling sweetly. "What is us?" I asked curiously looking up at him. He shrugged pausing for a minute. "We’re whatever you want us to be.." He said looking me deep in the eyes. He looked from my eyes to my lips and back again.

I bit my lip as I saw him begin to lean in, his lips were centimetres away from mine. He just hovered over mine making me want him even more. Just as I thought he was going to close the gap, he backed out. I sighed in disappointment as he stood up. “Coming?” He said leaning his hand out for me to take. I nodded as I took his hand.
