Ample ↠ J.G.

Chapter 3

Rosie's P.O.V.
A little part of me was relieved when I woke up and Jack wasn't in my bed. Then again another part of me was curious when he slipped out of it. I was suppose to have been strong. I wasn't suppose to sleep with Jack. It was just so hard to resist him sometimes. I missed what we used to be before everything happened but I know we can never be that again. Or atleast I can't let us be that again. I don't ever want to feel the hurt I felt again in my lifetime. I got off my bed a threw on a hoodie and sat at my desk pulling my laptop out to finish the rest of my homework. After about 10 minutes I hear my dorm room door creak open. I turn to see Jack holding coffee and breakfast.
"Goodmorning." He smiled and leaned down to peck my lips. I was taken back by his action and pulled away turning back to my computer.
"Thanks for the coffee." I say.
"Yeah sure." He says with a little aggravation in his voice. After ten minutes of complete silence Jack finally speaks up.
"So are you just gonna pretend nothing happened last night?" He ask.
"What do you mean Jack? We hooked up. It's no big deal." I say not taking my eyes off the computer screen.
"So hooking up was no big deal for you?" He asked me with his eyebrows knitted in confusion.
"It's not like we haven't slept together before." I say shrugging.
"The girl I used to know would have thought it was a big deal." He huffed
"Jack I'll say it again I'm not the girl you used know." I say with extra attitude.
"Apparently not. Seems like the only time you want me is when you're drunk."
"What do you want from me Jack?" I ask.
"For you to admit that you still love me. You want me when you're sober but you're to fucking scared to say it." He shouts.
"Jack I don't love you anymore. We're just friends." I lied. I only lied so this conversation would be over and he would stop having a fantasy that we would get back together.
"If that's how you feel then don't come by me when you're drunk cause I have a feeling you'll say something different." He said before slamming my door shut and exiting my room.
I was relieved to be out of that conversation but I realized Jack probably was going to avoid me like the plague. I needed to get him out of my mind. I should be happy he wants to avoid me.
"Movie night?" I texted Oliver.
"Always happy to see you." He texted me back.
I decided to take a shower to get rid of thoughts of Jack. I studied for a couple hours and when night was falling I headed over to the fraternity house.
"Hey." Oliver smiled at me as he opened the door allowing me entrance. "So what kind of movies do you want to watch?" He ask as we both plop down on the couch.
"Horror?" I kind of questioned and he shook his head in agreement.
We searched for awhile but decide on 'Texas Chainsaw" as Oliver admitted he's never seen it. We were half way through the movie when the front door flung open causing me to scream.
"Oh shit were we interrupting something?" Andrew the Vice President said as he flipped on the lights in the living room.
"No loser you scared me." I say back as he just chuckles.
The other frat guys poured into the house smelling of booze. The stench was a little foul I'm not going to lie.
"So we brought the party home from the bar hope you don't minds." Andrew laughs as more people started to pour. In particularly Jack did with a blonde hottie hanging all over him.
"We can finish the movie in my room." Oliver said nudging me and I agreed waking with him upstairs. I didn't even want to catch site of whatever jack and the beauty were going to do.
Unfortunately it felt as if every five minutes our movie was being interrupted by one of the guys for either pong balls, or just anything you could think of. It was starting to feel like they were doing it on purpose. Just like that someone was knocking at the door again.
"Dude you have to come out here! We need you on our floppy cup team!" Andrew begged Oliver.
I was tired of tonight already and knew if he didn't just go we'd never finish the movie.
"Just go. I'm going to head back to my dorm room. I'm tired anyways." I say.
"Are you sure? I can come finish the movie in your dorm room?" He ask.
"I'm sure I have an early class tomorrow anyway." With my blessing Oliver pecked my lips and headed down stairs.
I collected my things and started heading down the stairs to leave.
"Hey Rose! Play me in quarters?" I hear Jennifer's dreadful voice say as I was passing by.
"Sorry I'm tired and going home." I try being polite. I then realize the girl Jack walked in with the pretty blonde was Jennifer. Sigma Chi's sister sorority's president.
"Are you sure you're not scared?" She says trying to get my blood to boil. I tried rushing their sorority but when Oliver showed more interest in me then her I didn't make it. Surprise.
"I'm never scared of some completion." I say.
"Then let's play." She smirks as Jack stands right behind her holding her waist.
I pick the quarter and bounce it off the table into the glass.
"Drink a shot of whiskey." She rolled her eyes but took her shot.
The game went on for what felt like forever I had a strong buzz but Jennifer was quickly sprinkling to a black out. It was my turn and I managed to make the quarter in. I smirked at her as she took her shot but before I could even blink she was holding her mouth as she ran to the bathroom. Gross. Well I'm now partially drunk and my job is done here. I walked out the door and bumped into someone on the porch. I laughed when I realized it was Jack.
"Your girlfriends puking in the bathroom she might need some help." I laughed a little harder.
"She's not my girlfriend." He says sternly.
"I don't know you guys seemed a little touchy feely or whatever to just be friends." I giggled. I'm not sure what I thought was so funny but I couldn't stop laughing.
"Want to walk me home?" I ask letting the words come out of my mouth like Jennifer's vomit.
"This is what I'm talking about. You only want to talk to me or whatever when you're drunk." Jack says starring at me. I felt embarrassed.
"You're right dumb question. I'm gonna go. Bye." I tried speed walking away but of course my feet never connect with my brain and I tripped on myself. Thankfully I didn't fall mostly because I felt Jack's masculine arms around me helping stay upward.
"C'mon lets go." Jack said interlacing our fingers together. I was a little hesitant but I didn't pull my hand away.
"Jack."
"Hm" He said
"I was lying when I said I didn't love you." Jack paused for a moment and my stomach did a backflip waiting for his response.
"Tell me again when you're sober and maybe I'll believe you." He said rubbing the back of his neck. I realized he was right. I only admitted my feelings when I was drunk. The truth is sober me was scared of being hurt again. Drunk me craved Jack's affection.
"Will you stay the night with me?" I asked with hope in my eyes.
"I don't know..." my stomach dropped a little. "Are you going to angrily chase me out again in the morning?" He ask.
I didn't bother to answer Jack I just pulled him into my room. We both got comfortable in bed together and right before my eyes were going to shut I leaned up and gave Jack a kiss on the lips. He kissed me back and pulled me closer.
"Please don't change your mind tomorrow." Jack whispered as I was falling asleep.
