my breathing becoming deeper, my eyes fluttering closed as my body was falling into a sound slumber. jack pulls me close, placing a kiss on the top of my head after whispering, "i love you."

my heart began to race, hearing those three words that he had uttered. i was shocked, yet pleased, to have heard him say the words i had been waiting for. they finally rang through my ears as a smile pulled on the sides of my lips.

an ache between my legs had woken me up this morning. an ache that was indescribably odd but nice to feel, given the memories that it had behind it. a night to remember to say the least. a thought immediately crossing my mind was jack's parents.

my heartbeat quickened, kind of nervous at the thought that they would be here. especially given that fact that jack and i are lying in his bed without clothing, the only thing covering us were the sheets.

i moved my arm up, my fingers running over my eyelid. just then, jack's grip on me tightened which immediately told me that he was awake.

turning around in his grasp, i came face-to-face with him.

"morning beautiful" he smiles, kissing the top of my forehead, "how are you feeling this fine morning?"

a smirk plastered on his face, though taken over with a smile, "feeling peachy, babe. what about you, feeling good?"

he nods, "fantastic. especially waking up with you in my arms."

"are you parents home?" i ponder, the thought slipping back into my mind.

he shakes his head, "if they were, i wouldn't be this lax. they're out of town for a few days, my mom having to do some things for her family or something. my dad went along for support."

i nod, "is everything okay?"

"yeah, yeah. from what i know at least. im not too worried about it" he informs me, moving his hand up and down my side, "you fell asleep fast last night."

i look up at him and smile, kissing his jawline quickly, "i love you too."

his eyes widen, eyebrows furrowing, "you heard me say that last night?"

i nod, "it's cute. im happy you finally said it."

his cheeks flush with colour, displaying evident embarrassment.

"don't be embarrassed" i chuckle.

"im not" he shrugs, "just you know, i didn't think you were awake to hear me."

the ends of my lips pull up in a smile, "im glad i heard you."

he smiles down at me, pulling me closer to him. that is, until my phone began to buzz like crazy. i roll around, checking my phone that laid flat on the nightstand. it was brandon, oh fuck.

"who is it?" jack asks.

i sigh, "brandon."

his eyebrows pull together, "aren't you going to get it?"

i shake my head, "i can't."

confusion washes over jack's face completely, "is everything okay between you two?"

a sigh left my lips, a much heavier breath being released than i had anticipated. there was no doubt in my mind that the call would have been negative, once again. a piece of me wants to believe brandon called to apologize and inform me he'd be okay with jack. though, none of me was able to believe that.

"not exactly" i respond truthfully, hoping to anyone that jack wouldn't carry this on and ask why, "give me a second."

i get out of jack's bed, being tossed his shirt and placing it on, "thanks" i mutter, walking out with my phone. i had to talk to bethany quickly, this couldn't wait.

"hello?"

"hey beth, i need your honesty" i quickly, yet quietly, say.

"yeah, what's up?"

"im with jack, brandon just called and jack noticed i declined it. he's suspicious. should i tell him what's going on? he seems worried" i quickly explain, remaining quiet since jack is only rooms away.

she sighs, "if you want to be honest with him, sure. i don't know how he'll react but, you can if you want to."

"okay. thanks."

we both hang up the phone as i proceed back to the bedroom. i lean against the doorframe and sigh, catching the attention of him.

"i need to talk to you."
