"i'm fixing to go in and get something to drink... you want anything?" jack comes up to ask me. i look up from the wedding plans and over at him. "yes please... just some water." i tell him and he nods, looking over at nia who say across from me. "what about you?" he asks her. she smiles and nods, happy that he asked. "water sounds fine, thank you" she tells him, getting what i'm getting. "oh! and can you please grab me some salt and vinegar chips?" i ask as raise my eyebrows, getting excited about it. he chuckles some, furrowing his eyebrows at my question. "disgusting? but okay" he nods with a smile. i roll my eyes at him and laugh at my self. "those are not disgusting" i whisper quietly as he walks towards the back door, leading into my moms house.
"jacks so sweet to you" she smiles, continuing to sew the table cloths we were assigned to make. the boys have all the kiosks, tables, and benches to build while us girls have the decorations. Mom would be here, but she's out wedding dress shopping with her friends. i'm not complaining though, she's been so worried about everything the past two weeks. she needs this little break. i know she's enjoying it. "he really is" i smile back, placing another invitation card into the envelope. "he even offered me a glass... he's sweet. look over at sam" she glances back at him. he was drinking a beer while nodding along, listening closely to what adam was telling him, johnson, jake and nate. the other boys decided to come help to make the process quicker and less stressful on everyone. nia of course, was all over the idea when i told her they were getting married. she practically volunteered her self into helping. she loves this type of stuff... it's what she does.
"he's drinking a damn beer and didn't even offer me one!" she shakes her head. "well one of you have to drive home" i raise my eyebrows and she sighs. "damn, i didn't think of that. next time i'm grabbing one first, let's see who's driving home then" she smirks. "probably me, he'll still drink one anyways" i chuckle, earning a nod from her. "you know, he's so damn stubborn." she laughs at the thought. "but i love him so it's hard to be mad at him for that shit" she adds. before i could speak up, jack is already back with out drinks and my chips. i smile and reach out for them, ready to finally eat something. we didn't eat too long ago, just all the stuff we've done today really makes you hungry. "ahhh! yes thank you"
"johnson and i have a meeting at six, we're going to have to be leaving soon" he sighs, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "you already told me this" i look up at him, opening the chip bag. "i know, i just wanted to make sure you didn't forget." he explains and i nod. "well, why don't you two go ahead and leave... you'll need to eat and shower.. get ready, all of that" i suggest. usually the meetings go on forever. he's always there late when he has one and it's usually about once a week, sometimes every other week. they talk business, think of more ideas for music and tours... sometimes more events, they plan meet and greets and even sometimes end up writing new music on the spot. there's a bunch to do. they don't need to be working right up until they have to leave for it. "i don't know, i don't want to leave sammy and nate alone with adam" he chuckles, glancing over at them. adam was finished talking to them and he was on the phone... nate, sam and jake on the other hand, they were acting like complete idiots. the three of them were having 'sword fights' but with the small left over wood they used to build the benches.
"i'm sure.. i'm sure they'll be fine" i nod, not completely agreeing with what i had said. johnson was the only responsible one over there. he was actually working. "yeah, just go ahead and go.. they'll be fine. well make sure they behave" i tell him. "you sure?" he raises his eyebrows. "jack! yes go!" i sigh, slightly laughing at him. "okay, okay, okay.. we're leaving" he throws his hands up in defense, backing away from me before turning around and jogging off to go get johnson. "damn" i mutter to my self, hearing faint laughter from nia. i throw my head in her direction and raise my eyebrows. "what?" i ask, earning more laughter from her. "i can't take you seriously when you try to be mean.. i'm sorry" she continues to laugh even harder at me. i roll my eyes and shake my head. "just sew the damn table cloths" i chuckle, tossing my pen at her.
"okay, maybe we need a break for a second. let me have some chips" she reaches out for the bag after moving the sewing machine out of her way. i push the bag more towards her, leaving the opening in between us so we could both easily reach it. jack and jj walk over towards us and jack smiles. "now we're leaving" he tells me, leaning down to hug me. "you're all sweaty" i raise my eyebrows, about to dodge it but he hugs me anyways. "you can shower" he winks. "great advice, drive safe" i smile, waving at johnson. "text me when you guys are there" i add, watching as jack leans in for a kiss. i close my eyes and kiss him back with no hesitation. it wasn't too long, but it wasn't too short either it was good enough for a goodbye kiss.
"i got you" johnson tells me, knowing jack will forget to text me when they get there. "thank you! bye jj" i smile at him, holding my arms out to hug him back as he leans in for one. "bye cindy, i'll see you guys... tomorrow?" he asks us, glancing over at nia. "tomorrow" she nods, before the both head out. "no 'i love you?'" she raises her eyebrows at me when they're finally inside the house. i stay quiet for a second and shrug. "it's probably too soon for that" i sigh, despite the fact of how badly i want to tell him. i've been wanting to ever since adelia gave me that encouraging speech back at his concert in spain. "too soon? honey, you guys have already said it before. the feelings are still there! there's no time frame for when you're supposed to say i love you. if you love him then say it." she raises her eyebrows as she explains. "but what if he doesn't like it?" i ask, face palming and shaking my head immediately after the words leave my mouth. "let me rephrase that... what if he thinks it's too soon and it messes everything up?" i chuckle lightly, feeling kind of hurt at the thought. i wouldn't know what to do with myself if i told him how i really felt and then he says it's too soon or he doesn't feel that way yet... it'd be completely humiliating. i've had my share of embarrassing moments in front of jack, but this? i wouldn't be able to deal with it. not only would it be the most embarrassing thing i've ever done but it'd hurt... too bad. if you haven't noticed already, i've already grown completely attached to jack in just barely two months... this shit would hurt if he turned me down.
"cindy, i promise you...he loves you."
"are you sure?" i wince, not completely believing it, although everything in me wants to. "i just promised you, that's how sure i am." she nods. "you can literally see it. sammy was talking about it just the other day" she tells me. a small smile falls on my face as she says it. "he did?" i ask earning a nod. "he said he's already whipped, you know he's the iffy one out of us" she tells me, making me laugh at all the blonde moments sam has had. "so you know if even sammy sees it, it's true" she laughs with me, glancing over at her boy friend with a smile. "now, when jack gets home tonight... just lay it on him. it will make his whole day" she winks. "maybe even year"
"he's getting home late tonight, i'm usually asleep" i raise my eyebrows. "well, then just say it when ever you feel the time is right." she tells me, making me feel less rushed to tell him exactly how i feel. "okay" i smile, starting to get more excited over telling him. i feel like i'm 17 and head over fucking heels again... with the same guy.
it's amazing
