The Closer You Look... (Now You See Me, Jack Wilder fanfic)

Chapter 7 - Performing to Art

The sun had set and it was early morning by the time we got home. We had all performed for Art (the individual acts at the beginning of the film) and he was really impressed and agreed to stay on as our sponor for the year.

I was the last one inside and quietly closed the door behind me.

"What the hell was that at dinner?" Danny yelled in my direction.

"We were bored, all you did was talk about business and shit." I explained. "Arthur thought it was clever, with the fire and everything. I just wanted to mess with you a little, take a joke Danny"

"Take a joke?! You could have fucked up the whole thing for all of us"

"Hey, stop yelling." Henley said calmly to Danny.

An arm went round my waist and I looked up to see Jack about to burst out laughing.

"This isn't funny. I don't know why you go along with her silly ideas any way Jack, your just encouraging her." he said to Jack. "and you need to grow up and stop acting like a child". that was directed to me.

"Thats enough Danny, leave her alone." Merritt interupted. "shes only 17, and shes had to grow up pretty quick over the last year. just let them have their fun"

Danny scoweled at Merritt then stormed off to his bedroom.

"Just ignore him. He can be a grumpy asshole at times" Henley said. I smiled a little then walked over to the sofa with Jack and sat down. I grabbed the to remote and flicked through the channels.

"I think I'm gonna go to bed. We have some planning to do tomorrow" Henley told us.

"Okay, goodnight."

I stopped the channel on a film which I immediately recognised.
"Omg Jack! This is my favourite film ever! Well, one of them."

It was Fast & Furious, the fourth film on the franchise.
I laid down on across the sofa so my head was on Jacks shoulder and my legs were over his lap.

"This is one of those street racer films" he said

"Yeah, it's where my love of cars and racing come from"

"I've seen these before, I like em" Merritt said.

"Good, you don't wanna offend my taste in films"

Merritt chuckled and got up to go into the kitchen. When he came back he had three cold beers in his hands. He passed one to me and one to Jack.

Once the film had finished Merritt said goodnight and went to bed, leaving me and Jack in the living room.

I stood up and held my hand out to Jack, which he took.

"Come on" I said and pulled his hand a little.

"Where are we going?" He asked

"To bed?" I said, a little confused.

I lead him into the bathroom first to clean my teeth and use the loo. Then we went into my room.

"Why are you letting me sleep in here again?" He asked

"Because I have this big bed all to myself and Danny and Henley get up early so would wake you up in the morning."

" so we are sharing a room now?"

"Yeah, I guess" I said and shrugged.
He looked at me suggestively.

"No funny business." I said with a straight face.

He gave me puppy dog eyes.
"We'll, not tonight anyway" I smiled

We laid down under the covers and he wrapped his arm around me.
"Night Jack"

"Night"

AN. Hiya, so sorry! It's been ages since the last update. I was writing this chapter and dropped my phone in the loo with it not posted so I lost it.

I'd really love to hear what you think, and thank you for all the reads and votes.

Stay lucky, Izzy xoxo
