22: You've Got Me Feeling like a Walking Love Song

Title: 11:11 by Waterparks

"Lex, baby, wake up." Jack gently shakes my shoulders. "Lex. You have to get up so we can prepare for court."

I wake up and stare at him. He's leaning over me, shaking me gently. He smiles and leans down, kissing my nose. "We have to-" He's cut off by his phone ringing. He sighs and kisses my nose again. "I'll be right back." He grabs his phone and walks out the door. 

I sit up and grab my phone.

Rian: Are you ready for court?

Lisa: Hey, Alex. Just wondering how you're holding up- with court and all that.

Awsten: I'm not sure I'm ready for court, so I was wondering how you were felieing 

Awsten: *feeling

I laugh at Awsten's inability to type. 

Jack walks back in. He sets his phone down before sitting next to me. He grabs my hand and takes a breath. "He admitted to everything."

"What?" I give him a look.

"Kenneth admitted to what he did to you, and we don't need to go to court anymore. He has to serve 15 years."

I gasp and hug him. I hold his tightly and bury my face into his shoulder. "Oh thank god," I mumble.

He rubs my back. "We should tell your friends," he says. We pull away. He pulls me onto his lap while he pulls up the group chat. His free arm wraps around me as I cuddle against him.

He sends the text before tossing the phone aside and holding me with both arms. "I'm glad you don't have to face him again."

"Me too," I whisper. He kisses my neck. "So... About the date."

He laughs and pecks my nose. "I'm thinking we go out for lunch," he says. "I know a place."

"Oh really?" I give him a look. He laughs and nods. "What place?"

He shrugs. "I can't tell you." He winks. "But you'll find out," he says. He kisses my cheek and gently pushes me down onto my back. He lays next to me and smiles. 

I move forward and hold him, laying my head on his chest. "Why can't you just tell me?" I give him another look.

He sighs. "Don't give me puppy eyes, Lex," he whines. I smile innocently. He groans. "Lex, don't do this to me!" 

I sit up and stare down at him. "You still won't tell me?" I ask, smiling. He nods. I move to straddle him and leans down close. "You sure?" He nods again. I kiss him softly. 

"Lex, what do you think you're doing?" He asks slowly. 

I shrug and give him an innocent look. He blinks. "I can't tell you," I say. He groans and watches as I kiss down to his chest. 

"Do you think you can top?" He asks, a smirk on his lips. "Oh, I'd like to see you try."

I stop. "What? You think I can't?"

He laughs. "I know you can't." He leans up and kisses me. "But if you want to, go ahead."

I move back so I'm sitting on his lower torso. "Nevermind," I say softly. I slowly run my hand up his shirt. He watches me. I smile as I start tickling him.

"ALEX-" He shouts, laughing. "STOP- THIS IS TORTURE." He wiggles around. He grabs my wrists and stops me. He pulls me down and holds me against him. I turn my head so my ear is against his chest. He kisses the top of my head.
