Inevitable Love ≫ J.G

Chapter XV

- A Few Days Later -

"Let's watch a movie." Jack suggested as we laid on my bed, trying to figure out things to do.

I groaned and rolled my eyes, "Not another sappy love cliche movie, please I beg of you." I clasped my hands together.

Jack chuckled, "Fine, you can pick the movie this time."

I smiled and hopped off the bed and walked towards my shelf full of different movies. Being the organized person I was, I had all my movies in certain spots based off their genre.

Of course I picked one of my favorite movies, despite the time of the year 'Paranorman' was one of my all time favorite animated movies.

Alexis would always groan and whine at me and call me "childish" for always watching this movie, claiming that it's "only for children" which I completely disagreed with.

I ran my index finger down the spine of the movie case and smiled, pulling it off the shelf and spinning around. I looked over at Jack who watched me with a smile on his face as well, a soft snicker slipping out his lips.

"What?" I asked, putting the movie in the DVD player.

He shook his head, "Nothing, you just looked really adorable doing that." He shrugged.

I raised my eyebrow and shook my head, a smirk playing on my lips as I pressed play on the movie.

I walked back over to the bed and crawled up towards the headboard, pulling the covers over my bare legs and up to my mid - waist. I propped myself up with a couple of my pillows and sighed, feeling completely relaxed.

Jack changed his position from laying at the end of the bed to up by the headboard next to me, under the covers as well.

"Paranorman? Really?" Jack chuckled, seeing the title of the movie spread across the flat screen placed on my wall.

I looked over at him and furrowed my eyebrows, "Don't tell me you're gonna judge me as well." I groaned.

He smiled at my expression and shook his head, "No, not at all. I like this movie."

I grinned and turned my attention back towards the t.v.

Every now and then I'd feel Jack's eyes on me as I laughed and mouthed some of the words in unison with the character. Half way through the movie, my stomach began to hurt as well as my back.

It was that time of the month but I hadn't been in pain all day, until now of course. I sighed and wrapped my arm over my stomach, trying to ignore the pain but it only progressed and made the position I was in extremely uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" Jack asked. I shook my head, not wanting to explain my womanly problems to a male.

"You're lying, Skylar." He tilted his head and raised his eyebrow at me.

I rolled my eyes, "I have cramps and back pain right now but it's noth-"

He cut me off, "You're on your period aren't you?" He asked.

I scrunched up my face, cringing as the words fell from his mouth, "Ew!" I squealed.

Jack chuckled, "What?" He asked.

I cringed again, this time more noticeably, "Hearing those words come out your mouth is just disturbing." I confessed.

"I have two older sisters, Skylar. I know about these things." He reminded me.

I nodded, "Okay..It still doesn't change the fact that it's disturbing hearing it come out of a guys mouth." I shrugged.

"Do you want me to rub your back?" He asked.

I raised my eyebrows and lowered my head in shock, "You're willing to massage my back, really?"

Jack nodded, "I remember my mom rubbing my sisters stomach or back when it was really bad." He told me.

I nodded, "You don't have to, I'll be fine." I tried to reassure him but he wasn't convinced.

He pushed himself up and turned to face me, "Lay down on your stomach." He instructed me.

"Jack," I shook my head. He nodded, "Skylar I'm not gonna hurt you, I just wanna help." He promised.

I licked my lips before sliding the covers off me and laying on my stomach, making sure I was facing the television so I could still watch the movie.

"Skylar, I uh, need you to lift up your shirt." He said hesitantly.

I stifled a laugh as I slid up my shirt, revealing my bare back and my black spandex shorts.

Jack's warm hands soon began to softly push into my back, rubbing small slow circles on my lower back where the pain was.

I involuntarily moaned once he began to massage the spot where it hurt the most, making me clamp my hand over my mouth instantly.

Jack laughed, "I guess I'm doing a good job."

I bit my lip and tittered quietly, letting him continue. He massaged my back for about half an hour, both of us still watching the movie. Once the movie ended, I decided to stop Jack.

"Alright, I think I'm good." I reassured him as I sat up, sliding off the bed to turn regular television on.

I flickered through the channel, landing on Family Guy and shrugging. I walked back over to the bed and sat down, stretching before laying down on my back. Jack laid down beside me, his head turned towards me.

"Stop staring at me." I felt myself blush, making my stomach tingle.

"I can't help it." Jack said quietly, almost like he didn't mean to say it out loud.

I turned my head towards him, "Stop," I chortled, playfully hitting his arm.

Jack smiled, bringing the pit of his elbow over his face, burying his face in it. I couldn't help but smile at him, he was so adorable.

He finally calmed down his laughter and moved his arm down a little so he could see, looking over at me.

"What would you do if I called you beautiful?" Jack randomly asked.

"I'd remind you on how I didn't like to be complimented." I said.

"Then, I'd remind you on how I told you you'd have to get use to it." He said softly.

I felt myself blush, turning my head the opposite way of him trying to hide my cheeks as they turned a slight red.

Jack tittered and turned on his left side so he was completely facing me, wrapping his arm around me and turning me around so I was facing him. Our faces were close, but not too close, but close enough were I could feel his warm breath hit my lips.

His hand slowly slid down my back and stopped once it got to the hem of my shirt, lifting it and sliding his warm hands over my skin. His hand sent chills down my spine, making me shiver slightly at his touch. Jack smiled at my reaction, slowly rubbing his fingertips up and down my spine.

It was comforting and very relaxing, it made me completely forget about my cramps. I shifted my head so it was placed on a pillow more comfortingly. Jack lifted his other arm and placed it above my head, making himself more comfortable.

Jack's eyes never left mine, almost like he was searching for something but he just couldn't quite find it. He licked his lips softly, moisturizing them and making them glisten. I rested my arm under his arm that massaged my back softly with his fingertips, resting it on his waist.

I was in bliss right now, the placid movement of Jacks fingertips running up and down my spine, his warm breath tickling my lips and the eye contact made me tired. I slid my body down a little so I could rest my head underneath Jack's chin, bringing our bodies closer.

"I like you Skylar." Jack whispered, removing his hand from underneath my shirt and running his hands through my hair.

"I like you too, Jack." I whispered back.

"No, I mean I like you. Like more as friends." He clarified.

I smiled and nodded, "I know"
