Burning Desire (Jack Gilinsky)

Chapter 7

~Belle’s POV~

“Oh my gosh I’m so full,” I groaned as I got in the car.

Sam started laughing, “I’m sure you are,” he answered.

Not only did I eat the omlette and hash browns that I ordered but I also kept sneaking pieces of Sam’s pancakes when he wasn’t paying attention. He’d be looking around or on his phone and Jack would just burst out laughing every time I cut another piece and shoved it in my mouth before Sam looked.

It was during the sixth time I took more of his pancakes and he looked up as soon as I shoved the pancake in my mouth. The look on his face was priceless and Jack and I couldn’t stop laughing. I’m surprised Sam isn’t even mad at me though. He’s crazy about his pancakes.

 “So what’re we doing today?” I asked.

 Jack and Sam looked at each other and smirked.

 “It’s a surprise,” Jack answered.

We were driving around for about 20 minutes until we parked at a place I didn’t recognize. There weren’t any signs indicating what the hell this place was and there were only four other cars parked across the whole place.

We got out of the car and started walking up to what looked like the front entrance. Sam and Jack seemed to know where they were going so I kept following them down a short hallway.

We made a left turn at the end of the hallway and I was still confused because all we saw was some guy sitting behind a small desk. Nothing else.

 “Guys where the hell are we?”

Both of them ignored me and walked up to the man behind the desk.

 “How many?”

 “Just 3, 1 round,” Sam told the man and handed him $45.

Ok now I was really confused.

 “Alright just go through that door right there and follow the signs” he said pointing to the right.

Jack grabbed my hand and started smiling, “come on let’s go,” he started running through the door. Sam was already ahead of us.

I gasped as we got to the end of the hallway. Jack and Sam were staring and smiling at me. We were doing something that I had been dreaming of doing for almost 5 years now. I didn’t even know there was a place in this town.

We were going paintballing.

I started jumping up down like a little girl with the biggest grin on my face, “Guys! Holy shit! I’ve always wanted to go paintballing. How did you even find this place?!”

 “Sam’s been here before,” Jack told me giggling at my excitement.

We started walking towards another group of 3 people and a worker. Since we were already split into two groups, all we had to do was listen to some safety rules and we were all set to go.

This was gonna be fun.

~Jack’s POV~

I could tell Belle was extremely excited to go paintballing. I remember her talking about how much she wanted to go one time and I don’t really know why I never took her. I’m just glad Sam and I thought of the idea today.

We walked through a short tunnel and the other team went through another one on the other side of the field. There were trees and bushes everywhere and we were all geared up in camouflage suits.
