"let's go do something" jack sighs, walking into the bedroom while i sit there watching some true crime show that was still playing from last night. i look away from the tv and smile. "like right now?" i raise my eyebrows, unsure of what he meant. he nods his head and i jump out of bed quickly. "like what?" i ask him, curious as to what we'd do. we haven't gone out just me and him in a while due to us being so busy with the wedding planning for my mom and partially because of the baby. "like on a date... i want to take you out" he chuckles, walking over to his side of the bed to unplug his phone that has been charging for most of the day. i smile at his words. a date? it's been a while since we've been on one so in definitely looking forward to this a lot. "why don't you go get ready, take your time... get dressed up all nice and i'll make reservations and do everything i need to do, so you don't have to worry about a thing" he explains.
i smile even wider at his words. relaxing and not having to worry about anything while getting dressed up...doing my make up, my hair and maybe even putting on a pair of heels sounds so nice right now. "are you sure?"i ask, just to make sure he didn't need me to do anything before i start getting ready. "i'm one hundred perfect sure"

"wow, this is so good" i practically most after finishing my first bite. he decided on a fondue restaurant about twenty minutes from where we live. i'm assuming it's new, i've never we seen or heard of this place in my entire life or time that i've lived down here. i just say though, it's something i regret because i'm already in love with it. "wait until we get to the desert course" he chuckles, making my eyes widen. "desert course?" i gasp, getting excited. the past week i've had the overwhelming craving for any and everything that's sweet. i've never been a huge fan of deserts or sweets. don't get me wrong, i like them but i'd prefer fruits over candy or cake. this sweet craving i've been having has been strange so it's throwing me off a little. i can't even begin to explain how satisfying this desert course is about to be.
jack nods at my question. "you're kidding." i dead pan, hoping he's actually being for real and not just messing with me. i feel like that's something he'd do at the moment, so i'm feeling very superstitious about it at the moment. he chuckles and shakes his head. "no, i'm being for real." jack smiles. "you've been having me go to the store for sugar like crazy. i just figured you'd like this"he adds, taking a sip of my drink. he ordered me a shirley temple, forgetting he likes them as well. "just order self one!" i laugh, watching as he shrugs. "you do this to me all the time. how does it feel to be the victim now?" he raises his eyebrows. "you act like you just got bullied or something" i laugh at him, taking a drink of my shirley temple that he just loves so much.
"well pretty much" he sighs. "shut up" i laugh shaking my head at me. "anyways, what'd you think of everyone?" he asks me. "of my sisters and abby, i mean" he adds. he hasn't asked me at all actually. i didn't think he ever was but i guess one week is long enough for his curiosity. "i really liked them." i smile. "you were right, abby was definitely the cutest"
"molly loved the way you acted around her... you could tell laura did too if i'm being honest" he smiles as if he were thinking about it. laura... oh luara. i can't say she was my favorite... i'm not even going to lie but there's no way i'd tell jack that. i'd definitely tell nia or nate but just not sam or either of the jacks in that matter. if i did say something, at least i'd know the feeling was mutual. she didn't try to hide it... even after the small fight everyone had going on. it was constant nagging and just pure pettiness towards me when it came to her. molly would call her out and quite honestly, make her even more pissed at me. molly loved me, we clicked as soon as we actually started talking about something other than small talk but i could feel a connection even during the small talk. i can definitely see me and molly becoming really good friends. she's so sweet and caring and she's so good with abby. i have to say, i had the most fun with abby.
"gosh she was the sweetest" i say in awe. "laura?" he teases, immediately laughing afterwards. "no" i say a little too quickly but he just ends up laughing even harder at my response. "abby" i tell him but more calmly. "yeah, it's going to take a minute for you and laura to hit it off" jack chuckles, wincing most likely at the thought of how it all went down when we revealed our secret. she didn't like it one bit, you could tell she still didn't after she apologized. i know it wasn't because she was going to be an aunt to jacks kid, simply because it was mine. she didn't like me at all. her expressions, tone or words weren't hiding it either. "maybe longer than a minute... maybe she'll like me one day" i chuckle. "laura takes a while for people to like or even for her to like.. she's just stubborn so i wouldn't take it personally" he reassures me.
taking it personally wasn't my intention. they had already warned me about it. it just made me wish jack's parents were there so maybe she would have acted differently but who knows. if they had to warn me she probably wouldn't have. i just wish she would have given me a chance at first before she jumped to conclusions about my life and my personality. "it's fine" i smile at him, taking another bite of my teriyaki chicken. "if you want the truth, i think she may actually like you but obviously she's too stubborn to show it" he chuckles, making me feel a little better about it. "well... she needs to not be stubborn. i'd actually like to be close with her. like i know me and molly will definitely get close and even me and abby... i just wish she would have given me a chance at first or something" i try to explain my previous thought, watching as he nods. "yeah i know what you mean, i do too"
"we just need to see them more... i feel like we could all be super close" jack adds. "i wouldn't mind that at all, i actually enjoyed it" i smile at him. "well, we can go down there when ever... i'd like to show you around my home town and show you where i grew up. i think it'd be cool."
"you could meet all of the gilinsky family" he adds making me smile. "id love that... we should do it soon actually... or maybe we could arrange meetings like once a month or something?" i try to suggest, thinking out loud. "sounds like a plan to me. i know abby and molly won't mind and i know for a fact danny won't either" jack mentions her husband. "he'd love you. i think you guys could be close friends"he laughs. "it's like you guys have the same sense of humor and everything, you would definitely get along with him." jack goes on. i smile at how excited he was acting and i nod. "then we should schedule something. i don't mind the idea at all. i loved them" i tell jack and watch as he smiles at my words. "i'm really glad you like them" he tells me, sounding completely genuine. "of course" i wink. "i'll call molly after" he tells me, still smiling. "sounds amazing"
