Chapter Eight

Layla's POV//

A couple days later the party, and being with Jack, Jack told me to stay for his baseball practice, so I got Bella and Alexis to stay with me. We've have gotten closer to the point I want to tell them about kissing Jack before the party, and telling them I was starting to like him.

"Hey, I can tell you two anything right?" They both nodded their heads and looked at me. "Okay, well if you two have noticed, I wasn't the type of person to care about any boy, right?"

"Yeah, the way you act to Jack is really funny." Alexis chuckled.

"Ha ha yeah, it's like you two are brother and sister who fight every day over toys and food." Bella laughed.

"We kissed."

"WHAT?!?" They both screamed.

"Yeah, before the party I helped him get everything and he bought me the outfit I wore, and after I finished getting dressed, I sat on his bed and basically we both told each other not to fall in love with one another then kissed, but I think I like him." They both looked at me speechless, "Say something."

"I'm not sure what to say, I mean you like him right. Why don't you just tell him?" Bella said.

"I can't just tell someone that told me not to like him, I like him." I looked back towards Jack as he practiced batting. He looked over at me and waved, then hit the ball. "I mean is it bad I do like him?"

"No, because I think y'all would be cute, but Ashley's face will be priceless." Alexis said.

After practice Jack, Jack and Sam all came out off the field and sat next to us. "Hey girls." Jack J said putting his arm around Alexis.

"Who's up for ice cream?" Sam asked and we all said yes. So we left to get ice cream, I rode with Jack G, Alexis with Jack J, and Sam and Bella by themselves.

"You bat really good."

"Thanks, you're pretty cute out in the stands for me." He smirked over at me then looked back at the road. "You're gonna be at the games with my number on, right?"

"You want me to don't you?" I smirked.

"Kinda." He chuckled, "I'm number 5."

"Then I'll have number five on my shirt." He smiled and held up his fist, we fist bumped then pulled into an Ice Cream Polar. We went in and sat with Bella and Sam, waiting for Jack and Alexis. "Do they have a thing? Alexis and Jack J?"

"We think they do, but they don't want to admit it. Like, there have been times they've been caught together, one when we all stayed at Sam's and they slept together in Sam bed, two they kissed and got caught by Jack, and three when we had a pool party at Jack's we played chicken and they never left each others side." Bella explained.

I laughed and they walked in, "Aye guys, stuck at a red light."

"Sure." Jack laughed. "Anyone ready to order?"

I stood and walked over to the ice cream bar, a tall dark haired guy with blue eyes, and a tan complexion came around the corner to ask if I needed help. He smirked at me, and I gave a fake smile, then Jack came out of no where and put his arm around my shoulder, "Anything good?" I asked.

"I think you should try the birthday cake one, it as real icing in it." Jack smiled, I said okay and asked for two scoops of the birthday cake, "Make that two, please."

The man behind the counter started making the bowl of ice creams, and as we were waiting, I turned around and leaned on the glass, and looked at Jack. He looked back at me, and smiled. "What?" I chuckled, trying to hide my face with my hair.

"Don't hide your face." He moved the piece of hair off my face and left his hand on my cheek. "It's to beautiful to be covered." I knew I was blushing by now, and I had a feeling he was going to kiss me, but the guy took our attention by telling us it was time to pay.

I reached for my wallet, and tried to pull out my money, but Jack took it from my hands and slid it in his back pocket as he pulled out his money and gave it to the guy, picking up our ice cream and walking back to the table.

"Bella, let's get something, I'll pay." Sam suggested, Jack J and Alexis were already up, ordering their ice cream. Bella and Sam left the table, leaving Jack and I to our ice cream.

"Come on, try it." Jack laughed. I picked up spoon full, and slowly directed it to my mouth, Jack had a different idea. He took the spoon from my hand and pushed it to my lip. I tired not to laugh, but when I did the coldness hit my tongue and I finished the spoon full of ice cream, that ended up being really tasty.

"That's so good." I said, taking another spoon full in.

Jack reached for his, but I wanted to mess with him like he did me. I grabbed his spoon, and dipped it in his ice cream, and as I was leading it towards his mouth, I turned the spoon away and took the bite myself.

He smiled and took a bite of my ice cream, then he put some on my face, I couldn't help but laugh. "Jack. It's cold, get it off!"

He smiled, and grabbed my face pulling it closer to him. He kissed the ice cream from the corner of my lips, then he pulled back and smiled, "It's gone."

Later after ice cream, I went to Jack's house for a little bit since my dad invited him out to dinner, just him, my dad and me, my mom was out of the question. "I'm gonna take a shower real fast." He told me, "Mamma is downstairs, probably in the kitchen if you don't want to stay bored in here." He walked in his bathroom and I walked downstairs to go see his mom.

"Hey, Mrs. Gilinsky. How was your day?" I asked sitting the bar.

"Well, hello Layla. My day was good, how about yours?" She smiled.

"School is whatever, but Jack invited me to come watch him practice baseball today, then we all went out for ice cream."

"Awe that's sweet. You know, he's never asked a girl to go watch him practice before, that's cool." She said walking the fridge.

"Really? Why?"

"I'm not sure, I just think he doesn't want to mess up and you laugh at him." She said, handing me a water bottle.

"Thanks. That's funny, but thanks for letting him go out tonight. My dad just wants to meet him." I chuckled.

"It's fine. We had dinner with you, so I have to let him go, and I like you so it doesn't matter anyway." She smiled, then Jack screamed my name.

"Good talking to you, Mrs. Gilinsky." She smiled and I walked to Jack's room. I walked in, and all I saw was bare back.

"Do you want me to wait?" He turned around, and holy body.

"Nah, I actually have a question." He said, picking up a jersey type shirt. "Since tomorrow is my first game, you wanna wear my other jersey?"

He held up his jersey displaying Gilinsky 5 on the back. I smiled and took the shirt. "Of course." He pulled my hand towards him, pulling my body to his bare stomach. He was only a couple inches from my face, I smiled as he but his hand under my thighs. I jumped and wrapped my arms around his neck, he couldn't help but smile.

He walked with me to his bathroom, and stood in front of the mirror, he pulled his phone off the counter and opened his camera. "It'll only be seen by me and you." He took the picture and then he sat me on the counter, with him still between my legs, He looked the picture and called us cute.

"I want it, silly." I wrapped my arms around his neck, and he placed his hands on my waist. He leaned in, and touched my lips. It was only a short kiss because his phone went off.

"I have to finish getting ready, help me find an outfit." He kissed my nose and walked off to his closet. I want to tell him that I was starting to like him, but then again, I really didn't.

He told me not to, and I did the same, but what people wear each others clothes, kiss, take cute pictures, and hung out all the time? What people who "don't like each other" have dinner with their family? Oh, yeah. Us.
