The Bad Boy (Jack Gilinsky)

Chapter Twenty Two

I don’t think I have ever held on to a person tighter than I did that night when Jack and I walked home together. I finally had him back and I definitely wasn’t prepared to let him go anytime soon. His hand moved around my waist before he tightly gripped my hand. I smiled up at him and he smiled back. We both knew what the other was thinking without even having to say anything.

I hadn’t even realised that we were already back at my house. We stood in the porch for a minute just playing with each others fingers. I felt Jack’s head lean against mine and I leaned up looking him in the eyes. “Hi” He said smirking down at me. “Hey” I said biting my lip slightly as I giggled. “I better get going” Jack said in a sad tone, indicating that he wanted me to invite him in.

"Would you like to come in?" I said sarcastically. “Well if you’re offering..”Jack said chuckling. “Come on, I need a reason to piss off Lexi anyways” I said to him. “Oh so you’re just using me to annoy your sister" He said holding his chest dramatically. "Fine then don’t come in" I said crossing my arms. “No I don’t mind being used by you” He said placing his hands on the door between my body. I leaned my back against the door as Jack’s nose brushed mine. “Don’t be such a tease” I groaned wanting him to kiss me.

"Says the one.." He said chuckling as he pushed his lips to mine. I smiled into the kiss as I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him even closer to me. I could feel Jack smile into the kiss too as his arms encircled around my waist. His fingers gently traced my back, making patterns at the base. 

I pushed him off my chest, taking his hand. “Save it for later” I said winking as I pulled him through the door. As soon as I walked through the door I was met by Lexi and my Mom standing at the table. I couldn’t help but let a smirk crawl across my face as I noticed the pure shock on Lexi’s face. “Look who it is Lex” I said grinning. "Hi Jack.." She said in a neutral tone.

"Hey Lexi, long time no see" Jack said grinning too. I covered my face as I chuckled, the look on her face was pure gold. It felt good to finally wipe that smug expression off her face. "Well we’re going to go upstairs so we’ll see you later.." I said still smirking as I climbed up the stairs. “Separate bedrooms” my Mom called up the stairs. "Of course" I said laughing as I pulled Jack into my room. 

"Did you see the look on her face" I said leaning over from laughter. "She was so pissed off" Jack said plopping himself down on the bed. I crawled my way beside him, cuddling into his chest. "This feels so weird" I said thinking out loud.“What feels weird?” Jack said leaning his head over to face me. “Us, being together again. Even though it’s only been a few months it feel like years” I told him. “Is it a good weird or a bad weird?” He inquired.

"Oh definitely a good weird" I said leaning up to kiss him softly.

I woke up the next morning, stretching my arms out as wide as they would go. I almost forgot Jack was right beside me at this point. I felt his arms wrap around my waist pulling me in closer to his chest. "Jack we have to go to school" I said giggling. “No we don’t..” He groaned, his eyes still closed. "Yes we do" I persisted" No…" He said gripping on tightly to me.

"Come on it’s only 7 hours and they we can come home and do whatever we want.." I said smirking at him. He raised his eyebrow, smiling. "Okay fine I’ll get up" He said playing it down. I just laughed as I rolled my eyes. I walked over to my closet, picking out an outfit for school before making my way to the bathroom."Hey where are you going?" Jack said holding me by my waist from behind and leaning his head on my shoulder.

"To get dressed?" I said confused. “Get changed in here” He said and I could hear the smirk in his voice. “You’d like that wouldn’t you?" I said turning my head to the side slightly. “Well it’s not as if I haven’t seen you naked before" He said grinning smugly. "Jack!" I said hitting him playfully as my cheeks went slightly red. He laughed as he watched me walk into the bathroom.

I walked out just in a pair of jeans and a hoodie. “You look good” Jack said resting his hands on my hips. "No I don’t, I literally look like I just woke up" I said ruffling my messy hair. “Maybe because you just did" He said chuckling.  I just ignored him as I grabbed my bag and began to walk down the stairs. “Here let me take that” Jack said taking my bag from me. "Aw such a gent" I said smiling. Jack just shrugged proudly.

We got to school and all eyes were on us. I half expected this though, it was unlikely that I could go out with someone break up with him date his best friend then get back together with him without getting a few glares. I just looked down awkwardly as I felt all eyes on me. I felt Jack’s hand intertwine with mine and I looked up at him to smile in appreciation.

We managed to make it all the way to my locker without anyone asking us anything. I took out the books I need and turned around to Jack. My heart jumped slightly when I noticed Sam across the hall. I completely forgot about him. “Jack, I have to say something to Sam, I’ll be back in a minute” I said releasing my grip from his hand as I made my way across the hall.
