Get Down On Your Knees And Tell Me You Love Me (Merrikat)

Chapter Six

Zack

The only thing I've been able to think about for the past twenty-four hours is the stunt Jack pulled on stage. It's been on repeat in my head and no matter how many times I try to shut it out, it comes back. The funny thing about it was it that it wasn't just a peck on the lips, like most stage kisses are with the band, but it was a full on kiss.

This whole thing has me wondering about what could be and what can't. I mean, there's something there and Jack has been getting the hints. I think it nearly impossible for them to go over even Jack's head. I felt that kiss had something more to it than just being a kiss on stage. I know for a fact that Jack has not been minding my hand being as low as it is under the blanket or table, and from time to time I catch him looking at me out of the corner of my eye.

For the past hour, I have been trying to build up any courage to go outside and ask Jack about what happened the other day. I spent all day yesterday either on stage, at a signing, or in my bunk.

When I finally decided enough was enough, I hopped out of my bunk and I only did to find Alex asleep on one of the couches in the lounge. I laughed at just the way he was sleeping and it woke him up, he was startled.

"Well, look who finally came out of hibernation," He laughed and got up off the couch.

"Yeah, guess I needed a little break," I said as I got a water bottle out of the fridge. "So, where is everyone?" I asked.

"I think Ri is still sleeping and Jack said something about a beer run at, like, 8 this morning. The girls are god knows where, but they said they'd be back before the show," I nodded and decided to take a shower.

About an our or so later, is when Jack got back and Ri finally decided to get up. He walked out and groaned.

"Well, good morning sunshine," I said as I laughed. He waved me off and sat down on the couch and I laughed some more. "Little too much to drink last night, party boy?" Jack said as he put some more beer in the fridge.

"Oh, piss off," He groaned and it had all of us laughing.

"So," Alex began, "Since Zack wasn't out here yesterday, we're now going to watch Peter Pan. Come as you wish," and with that he put the DVD in and we all sat down. Jack sat next to me, so naturally I put a blanket over us, again, so I could put my hand just below his thigh. As soon as I placed my hand there I felt him tense up and I slightly smirked.

For the first five to ten minutes of the movie my hand stayed exactly where it was, and I could tell Jack was starting to doze off, so I decided to wake him up a little. I started to move my hand upwards, not too much, but enough to make him notice. I kept my gaze on the movie but I saw Jack was looking right at me, and it took everything in me not to look over at him. Because I know if I did, I'd do something stupid.

I then waited a few minutes before I started rubbing the spot on Jack's thigh where my hand was. In small circles at first, but as the movie went on they gradually got bigger and my hand went a little further up.

By the end of the movie, Lex and Ri fell asleep on the other couch and it was just Jack and I.

"Well, I'm going to go take a power nap before the signing," I said as I got up. As I did, I dragged my fingers down Jack's thigh.

When I was in my bunk I saw Jack was tweeting back some fans on Twitter, so I decided to do the same.
