My Brothers Best Friend (Jack Gilinsky)

3

I've been walking Roman for at least an hour on the beach. The weather today was really nice. The sun was hiding behind the clouds and the breeze was blowing a little.

Roman starts barking and runs forward a little, catching me off guard. I run forward with him and realize he's barking after another dog.

"Roman calm down." I say bending down to pet him.

He races forward and I loose grip of his leash.

"Shit." I say and run after him.

He stops at a retriever. By the way he's sniffing it, I can already guess it's a girl. After they sniff each other, he goes around her and tries to get on top of her.

"Roman no!" I say grabbing him, to make him stop.

"Is this your dog?" A British males voice comes behind me.

I turn around and my eyes go a little wide. Holy Jesus he is beautiful.

"Uh yeah. Sorry about that. He doesn't know when to keep it in his pants." I say jokingly.

He laughs and bends down to pet Roman.

"I'm Faye by the way." I say, being polite.

He looks up at me and stares.

"Faye Gomez?" He says standing up to get a better look at me.

"Uh yeah. How'd you know?"

"It's me, Colton."

Suddenly I remember who this guy was. Wow he has really... Grown up.

"Colton? Oh my god. It's been so long!" I laugh and hug him. He returns the hug and we pull away smiling.

"How've you been Faye?"

"I've been really good actually. I finally finished college and I currently live in New York."

"Have you become the dancer you've always dreamed of being?"

I smile and nod.

"I'll be dancing on Ariana Grande's tour in a few months."

"Wow, that's bloody amazing Faye." He says amazed.

"Thanks Colt. Hey, we should really catch up soon. You can come have dinner with my family later this week! They'd love to see you again."

"Yeah I'd love to. Here, put your number in so we can plan it out." He says, handing me his phone.

I save my number and hand it back to him.

"Well, I gotta get going. I'll see you later." I say hugging him.

"Alright. Bye." He smiles and turns away.

Man it's been so long since I've seen him. 4 years actually. Before he used to be a little skinny and had shaggy hair, now he's like a Hollister model.

When Roman and I finally get to the house, I see my mom in the kitchen.

"Hey mom."

"Hey honey. You're just in time, dinners ready." She says bringing some of the dishes to the table.

I help her set up the table and yell for everyone to come eat.

When we all sit down Haley and Alex start talking about the wedding.

"So mom, dad. Haley and I were thinking we could have the wedding here-this summer." Alex says.

My mother looks up at him horrified.

"Baby boy that doesn't give us enough time to plan out everything. We can't plan a wedding in just a month."

"Yes we can. It's just gonna be a small wedding mom. Just our closest friends and our family. Please mom, just support us on this." He says begging her.

My mom looks around the silent table.

"Fine." She says finishing the food that was in her plate.

"Thank you!" My brother says grabbing Haley's hand.

"But you're doing the dishes tonight." My mother says.

We all laugh and continue eating.

"Okay so I've already called my two bridesmaids and they will be here sometime tomorrow." Haley says to my mom and I.

"Oh that reminds me- Faye." She says looking towards me.

I swallow the wine I had in my mouth and look at her.

"Will you be one half of my maid of honor?" She asks smiling.

I smile back and nod.

"Of course. Who's the other half?" I ask laughing.

"My best friend Lily."

"Well I would love to be one half of your maid of honor." I chuckle and hug her.

"Awesome! Okay so, JJ will be here in two days and Sammy will be here tomorrow."

I look at my mother searching wedding details on her iPad and Haley writing down a bunch of things onto a notepad.

"Well uh I'm gonna call it a night. Goodnight." I say getting up.

Haley smiles at me while my mother doesn't look up from her iPad.

I wish I was into all the stuff my mother is into. She never comes to me with all her craft ideas, she goes straight to Haley. Sometimes I feel like she is more like her daughter than I am. I'm just not that girly or creative.

I sigh and walk into my room, laying down on my bed.

Maybe a shower will help.

I get up and grab my black lace set of undergarments and walk into my restroom.

I turn the faucet on and undress. Once I finish I step into the shower and wet my hair. I grab the shampoo, pour some in my hand and rub it into my scalp. I close my eyes and rinse it all out. I jump when I feel a pair of hands grab my waist.

"Shhhh. It's just me." Jack says, putting a finger to his mouth.

I hit his arm hard.

"Ow! What the hell?"

"You scared the shit out if me."

"Sorry baby, didn't mean to." He says bring me closer to him, leaving little kisses down my neck.

"What are you doing in here?" I ask.

"What does it look like?"

I roll my eyes.

"Did you talk to my brother?"

"Well I tried telling him earlier but he didn't give me a chance to tell him."

I sigh and slightly push him away from me.

"What's wrong?" He asks trying to grab me again.

I turn off the faucet, stepping out of the shower.

"Faye," Jack says grabbing my arm.

"What did I do wrong?"

"You said you were gonna tell him."

"And I am. I said I tried but he didn't give me the chance to. I promise I'll tell him tomorrow, okay?" He grabs my chin and I look at him.

"Okay.. Fine."

He smiles a little and closes the gap between us. He kissed me long and slow, making my stomach flutter.

"Can I stay with you tonight?" He asks after we pulled apart.

I smiled and nodded. "Of course."

Later when we both got dressed, we just laid in my bed and talked. We talked about anything there was to talk about. We cuddled and he played with my fingers while I listened to his chest vibrate when he laughed. It was a moment of pure happiness.
