Inevitable Love ≫ J.G

Chapter XXII

- A Few Days Later -

I had looked over at the time for what felt like the fifth time in the past two hours, boredom continuing to drown me. Complete darkness, tiny sparkling stars and a huge moon had replaced the baby blue sky that was once there. It was 12:34AM and I still hadn't done anything all day but sit in my bedroom and watch tons of comedy and horror movies.

Alexis was busy with family things and Chase was doing something as well. So at this point, I had no one to call but Jack and I didn't wanna seem needy or desperate but to be honest, I kind of was.

I blew a raspberry, grabbed my phone from beside me. I contemplated on calling Jack since I knew by now he was asleep. I pulled my bottom lip into my mouth, biting down on it lightly as I called Jack. I pulled my knees up to my chest and leaned my head against the headboard. I didn't really expect for Jack to answer but I hoped he did answer because I hated being alone.

"Who are you and what do you want?" He groggily answered, his voice deep and rasped. I smiled softly, "Well aren't you just a big ball of sunshine." I joked. "Skylar, what do you want?" He grumbled but I knew he was just joking. "You're so sweet" I sarcastically said.

"It's 12:40 at night, I just fell asleep. Just tell me what you need." He sighed. "I've been drowning in boredom for hours and I'm craving some kind of attention." I told him, playing with the end of my oversized t-shirt. "Where's Alexis?" He asked, obvious he didn't wanna get out of bed.

"She's probably sleep and she had something to do with her family." I explained, wetting my lips. "Chase?" "Also probably sleep and he had something to do." I tilted my head.

He sighed loudly, "So you decided to wake me up from my sleep instead of them?" He questioned my choice.

"Look if you don't wanna come over it's fine, I can find something else to do until I fall asleep." I ran my hand through my hair, feeling stupid for calling him. "No," He sighed, "No it's fine. Give me a few minutes and I'll be over."

"You don't have to." I told him. "I'm already awake now, I'm coming over whether you like it or not." He said before hanging up. I tittered softly to myself, placing my phone on the nightstand and leaned my head back, closing my eyes with a smile.

The doorbell ringing repeatedly made me smile, knowing that it was Jack. I paused the movie that was currently playing and hopped off the bed. I sprinted out of my room, down the hall and down the stairs. I sprinted towards the door and stopped, smoothing my hair down and taking a deep breath. I unlocked the door and swung opened the door.

Jack stood there with tired eyes, black jogger sweats, his grey hoodie and his black and white vans. Once I opened the door he smiled softly before stepping inside. I closed the door behind him and spun around slowly, looking up at him, "Thanks for coming, I owe you."

He shrugged, "It's no big deal. If this makes you happy, I'm happy."

My stomach was instantly filled with butterflies, making me wrap my arms around my waist and look down. My hair - which was down - fell in front of my face as I smiled like an idiot. I controlled my smile and lifted my head, "Are you hungry or thirsty?" I asked, my hospitality taking the best of me.

He shook his head, "Nah, just exhausted." I smiled and grabbed his hand, leading him up the stairs and into my room. He walked into the room and kicked off his shoes, plopping down on the bed. "Sorry for the mess, I've literally been in my room all day." I picked up the abundant of movie cases and junk food wrappers off the floor.

"It's fine, I've seen worst." He mumbled, putting his arm over his eyes. After I finally put all my movies back in it's rightful place on the shelf, I turned towards Jack. I wasn't sure if he wasn't already asleep or just relaxing. I walked towards the foot of the bed quietly and looked down at him, bending over a little to try and see his eyes.

"Stop staring at me, that's creepy." He muttered, an evident smirk on his face. I chuckled, "I was trying to see if you were awake." I explained, kneeling down on the bed.

Jack removed his arm and looked up at me, leaning up, grabbing my waist and pulling me on-top of him. I squealed and giggled, propping myself up. Both of my arms were on both sides of his face, my long hair covering the sides of both of our faces. I smiled and flipped my hair over to one side, looking down at him, "What was that for?" I asked.

"I just wanted you a little closer." He muttered, resting his hands on my waist. "Stop doing that, " I whined, leaning my forehead on his shoulder. "Doing what?" He asked.

"Making me feel all giddy inside, it's been so long since I felt that I don't know how to control or stop it." I explained. "Don't try to stop it, just let it happen." He whispered against my head, "Now shush, I'm trying to go back to sleep."

"With me on-top of you?" I asked, lifting my head up and arching my eyebrow. He nodded, "Yes," He smiled, closing his eyes. "But then I'd have to be extra still." I complained. Jack groaned dramatically and flipped us over, resting his head on my shoulder.

"Oh so now I'm your pillow?" I giggled, resting my hand on top of his head. "If you're gonna complain about every position, I can leave." He jokingly threatened. I smiled, running my hand through his hair, "I'm not complaining, I never said I didn't enjoy it." I muttered.

His hand slid slowly across my stomach then wrapped around me, turning me over slightly so he could hold me tightly. "This reminds me of that time when you tried to take me star-watching and I made us come back to my house and we talked for hours then I let you stay here and you pulled me close to you." I said quietly, "Like this actually, I don't think I've ever slept so good before." My voice barely a whisper.

"Stop talking and let's go to sleep, Sky." He mumbled against my neck, making me titter. "What if I'm not tired?" I whined.

Jack leaned back, "Skylar I swear to god, " He groaned. I smiled, "You swear to god what? What are you gonna do, Jack?" I tested him, raising my eyebrow.

"I'll make you shut up if you don't." He warned me. "Do it." I whispered slowly, emphasizing my words.

Jack licked his lips and crashed them against mine, gripping the back of my shirt tightly. I grabbed his face and kissed him back, wrapping my leg around his waist. Now I know I told him I wasn't ready but hey, desperate times comes for desperate measures. Okay maybe I'm being a little harsh, I wanted this, so bad. I wanted it the first time he kissed me as well, but I was scared. I am scared. But at the moment, I wasn't gonna let my fears stop me from what I wanted.

Jack grabbed my waist and rolled on-top of me, resting his forearms on both sides of my head, his lips never leaving mind. I wrapped my arms around his neck, gripping the back of his hair and deepening the kiss. The kiss was lustful, oh so lustful, but also it felt like it had a meaning.

As he slid his tongue in my mouth, it felt as if he was writing a letter to me with his tongue against mine. Tingles rushed throughout my body as his lips went from my lips to my neck. His body rolled against mine, making me moan and wrap my legs around his waist. A gasp escaped my lips as he bit down on my flesh, I knew it was gonna leave a mark but I wasn't worried. I was pretty sure he had already placed a hickey on my neck.

Jack lifted his head slowly, his cheek grazing against mine and his lips brushing past mine, "That shut you up, didn't it?" He whispered against my lips. I chortled, "I hate you." I groaned.

"You love me." He smirked, his eyes never leaving mine. I raised my eyebrow, "Love's a very strong word. Let's say I'm very infatuated with you." I clarified. He shrugged, "I can live with that." He bent down and pecked my lips twice before rolling over and holding me around my waist.

"Thank you, Jack." I whispered, turning around so my back was facing him.

"For what?"

I smiled softly, looking down at his hand that was wrapped securely around my waist, "For being there when I need you."
