Chapter 4

I woke up slowly and made my way downstairs for breakfast. (well brunch considering it was 1) I found a note on the table from mom. Clean the kitchen and you're officially un-grounded <3

I decided to take her up on that offer and began stacking the dishwasher when there was a knock on the door, unsurprisingly it was jack " hey you" he said as he walked past me. "Please come in" I said sarcastically "you know, I'm proud that you knocked". He looked over at me and chuckled, how did he manage to still look good even in his pyjamas. "What you staring at?" he questioned causing me to blush "nothing" I snapped back "now seeing as it's your fault I'm grounded you're going to help me clean the kitchen". He stood up, grabbed a cloth and began to dry the dishes, we cleaned in a comfortable silence, even though i only met him a month ago I could feel myself falling for him. Fuck I thought to myself, not this again. I was awoken from my day dream by a cracking noise and a burst of pain in my left butt cheek "what the fuck jack! Did you just whip me with the towel?" I yelled as I grabbed my butt. He erupted into a fit of laughter. "Right we're switching jobs" I hopped up on to the counter top, carefully distributing my weight on the non-sore butt cheek. Jack began to unload the dishwasher, then abruptly turned around. "You know Sophie I like you" he stated taking a step forward "so I'm gonna give you a piece of advice" he took another step now leaving him between my legs, he put his arms round my waist and pulled me forward. I could feel his warm breath on my forehead. He leant down and crashed our lips together, slowly moving his hands down my back grabbing my ass. He reluctantly pulled away and muttered "be careful".

His phone began to buzz "I'm gonna take this outside if that's ok" I nodded as he walked to the door.

Jacks pov

I stepped outside and brought the phone to my ear.

"Hey honey, your father and I were wondering if you could stay at a friends tonight, we're having date night and well..." she trailed off

"Ew gross mom, I don't need to know about that, sure anything to keep me from seeing something." I chuckled and hung up the phone, now all I have to do is convince Sophie to let me stay, after whatever that was.

"Hey soph?" I yelled as I walked into the house, she wasn't in the kitchen so she must be in her room. I walked up the stairs and saw her standing in her room. Her door was left ajar allowing me to see her, she began pulling her Tshirt over her head leaving her standing in nothing but a bra. I heard the floorboard beneath me creek "shit"

"For fucks sake jack why are you such a massive creep" she dived under her covers attempting to savour the last piece of dignity she had. "Sorry man" I chuckled "hey can I stay over? my parents want the house to themselves"

"Yeah sure" she sighed "might be nice to have some company for once" it made me sad knowing she was so lonely all the time. "Hey jack?" She called as she brought her head up from under the covers. "Yeah?"

" umm don't take this the wrong way, but do you have any friends?" I laughed lightly.

"Of course I do"

"How come you haven't introduced me to them?"

"Becau-"

"Are you embarrassed of me" she cut me off

"Don't be stupid, I just don't want any guys hitting on you."

"Why?"

"Because your mine, and I don't want to see other guys looking at you like I do."

I stepped forward and sat down next to her, she was rolled up in her duvet covering her half naked body.

"Whats that supposed to mean?" She asked.

"It means that your mine." I leaned in leaving our faces millimetres apart, I could feel her warm breath on my chin, and then I did it, what I've been wanting to do for weeks, I pressed my lips against hers, lightly but passionately. She broke the kiss and looked at me I could see the hunger in her eyes.

"I was hoping you'd say that." She smiled

Sophie's pov

I lost my virginity when I was 14. It was the classic story of an older guy tricking the younger girl, he told me he loved me, I believed him. Anyway I was over it, a girl can't hold a grudge forever. I mean I wouldn't say I was a slut but I had slept with a few people just like most teenagers I had needs, so thanks to Eric (the aforementioned guy) sex had never been exactly sacred to me, I didn't need someone to love me for me to give it up. Jack telling me I was his was so far the nicest thing someone has said to me. (Romantic right.) so we had sex. I don't need to go into the details. Neither of us were virgins, so nothing was exactly new, he was good at it and judging by the noises he was making so was I. He then spent the night. Which again was quite refreshing from the usual 'I have early football training, thanks for the fuck, catch you later.'

Now don't take my casual attitude towards the situation as me not liking jack. As this was the complete opposite of how I felt. He was good to me, a real gentlemen, I got butterflies whenever he touched me even if his hand just brushed mine. I was falling for him. Hard.

Our 'relationship' had been going on for around 3 weeks now, and no we weren't boyfriend and girlfriend, no he still hadn't introduced me to his friends, but I didn't mind. School was starting next week so I guess I would just have to meet them then.
