Part 80

we've been swimming constantly, whether it was in the ocean or pool. yesterday morning i felt sick before jack woke up, i threw up but jack doesn't know. i don't know what to expect, i could be pregnant, but it would be highly unlikely. strangely, i started feeling the same nausea that i had the previous morning, and the events replayed. i'm glad jack didn't wake up. 

i gathered myself and went out to the kitchen getting a glass of water. when i started filling up the glass, i felt a familiar pair of arms wrap around my waist, curls touching my bare shoulder. i chuckled and i could tell who it was, i turned around and wrapped my arms loosely around his neck. i smiled up at him and lent closer to his chest, the aura of his cologne surrounding us. 

he kissed my forehead and i looked up at him, the gorgeous brown eyes shining in the sunlight. 

j- should we go?

a- we should

we walked out the back and onto the beach. we walked ankle deep into the water and walked towards the dock, my hand in jack's. jack kicked up the water and it splashed my face, causing me to scream and reach down splashing him back. he was shocked and lifted me up so my legs were wrapped around his waist, he sat down in the water and leaned back, causing both of us to get soaked. 

i got up off of him and held my arm out for him to grab, he took me hand and stood up and we continued walking. when we got to the pools, i couldn't contain my excitement. we were swimming with dolphins and i couldn't be more impatient about getting in the water. we were taken into a room where we had to undergo a safety briefing, he asked us a series of questions. he asked if i was pregnant and i froze, before saying no. it was only a brief pause and thankfully it didn't cause any curiosity from him. 

we walked out to the water and two dolphins swarmed the dock, splashing around making me laugh. we stepped down into the water and the dolphins swam closer, nudging jack and i. they felt soft and made a noise that made me laugh every time, but they started getting closer, to my stomach. all of a sudden they circled me very fast and i got confused, although i was still laughing. jack and the man looked confused but when they saw i was laughing they joined me. 

we swam with them, holding onto their fins as they shot through the water. my jaw hurt from smiling too much, and when it was finally time to get out of the water it was sad. we walked back to the villa, listening to the waves drift. we're leaving tonight and i didn't want to. i want to see my family but being here with jack is like being in our own world, time moving slowly as we watched the sunset every night. the time i dreaded finally came, when we got back to the villa we had to pack. 

i had a shower while jack was checking around the villa for the last few things. once i was finished, jack was waiting by the door with our bags, smiling. i pouted and took my phone off the bench before grabbing one of the suitcases and head out the door. we loaded everything into the car and head off, leaving the serenity behind. 

-skip plane ride- 

back to reality, in los angeles. we drove to our place first, it's where everyone has been staying while with norah. we got to the familiar neighborhood of beverly hills and drove home. when our house was in sight we sighed in relief, seeing everyone's cars still on the driveway. it was eleven pm and jonah had texted me saying norah was asleep, we turned into the garage and turned off the car. 

when we got in the house, we could hear everyone in the living room watching a movie. i signaled for jack to keep quiet and we walked closer, i could see tate and christina cuddling on the couch with a blanket. i put my bags down quietly and jumped over the back of the couch, landing in the middle of them both. they screamed and hugged me from both sides, i hugged them back and i could hear the boys greeting jack. 

i got up and hugged the boys and they welcomed us back, before joining them in watching the movie, i took our bags upstairs and got a call from my label. 

- hey addison, are we still recording tomorrow morning?

a- of course, it can be out by tomorrow night right?

- midnight tomorrow if we finish recording by noon

a- see you then

i raced downstairs and got comfortable with christina and tate, who were constantly whispering in my ear, asking about the trip. i told them i would tell them everything tomorrow and they nodded, we continued watching the movie and all fell asleep in the living room. 

-next day- 

i woke up to norah jumping on me, smiling and yelling. i tickled her sides causing her to fall on top of christina, tate and i. i looked at the time and realised i had to leave any minute, norah was talking to jack and i rushed upstairs to get changed. i decided to wear something comfortable as i would be in the studio majority of the morning, i ran back down and explained my rushing. i told everyone we'd go out for dinner tonight and that made norah and zach excited. before leaving i ducked my head back inside the house and yelled to daniel. 

a- invite angi!

i giggled and walked out, getting in the jeep and driving off to the studio. i was rushed up to the studio and put in front of the microphone immediately. hours later we were finally finished, i stayed as they edited it and put it together but by 5pm i knew i had to go home.
