Not Over You // j.g. (wattys 2015)

Nineteen.

Jack Gilinsky

I decided to take a walk on the beach while I waited for Lia to call me and tell me that her lunch with that Aiden dude was over.
Aiden. What a douchebag name.
I slipped my shoes off as I walked down the steps from the boardwalk onto the beach, holding my shoes by the heels. I started to make my way to the edge of the water. My phone buzzed in my pocket. I drew it out, looking at the screen while I walked. It was a message from Lia. I smiled. Just seeing her name on my phone made me feel funny.
We're at this really nice restaurant on the beach. We should be done at about 2. You can visit if you want. I love you. X
I smiled at the text. She had sent me the address to the place and I realized that I wasn't that far from the eatery. I decided I would let her have some privacy with her new friend, at least that's all she thinks it is. I made my way back to the water as I noticed two figures on the beach, sitting close to each other near the water. The couple reminded me of Lia and I. The girl had long brown hair, just like Lia's, the boy having the same look as Aiden. I felt a little suspicious so I took a closer look and realized that the two figures were who I suspected it to be. Aiden leaned in and just before Lia could pull away, he planted a firm kiss to her lips. She squirmed under his touch. Probably wishing she was with me or that I was there to pull him away. Which is exactly what I did.

Lia Conrad

I looked up at the tall figure who had grabbed Aiden's collar, pulling him to the ground. I saw his brown eyes turn darker as he looked at Aiden with disgust. He glanced at me and for a second, his body relaxed but then after a split second tensed back up. He pulled his arm back, angry expression covering his beautiful sculpted face.
"Jack! Stop!" I called out to him, reaching for his arm before he made contact with Aiden's face.
"Why should I?" He yelled. "This ass thinks he can kiss you even though he knows that you're with me!" Jack's muscled strained under my hold, wanting to hit Aiden as hard as he could.
"Calm down, Jack. I understand that you think that as much as I do, but beating him up won't solve anything."
"But maybe he'll learn a lesson." He said angrily, my hands still holding his arm. My other hand reaching up for his other hand. I held his big hand in my smaller one, squeezing slightly to calm him. His face softened as he looked away from Aiden to me. I leaned up, placing a small kiss to his cheek. Aiden stood up, dusting the sand off. I released Jack from my calming grip.
"As for you, I told you Jack and I were engaged! Who the hell do you think you are?"
"Your next boyfriend." He smirked. How could he say this after Jack had almost pounded his face in? Jack's face became angry once again. I became flustered. Was he being serious or just trying to mess with Jack?
"It's not like you would love her anyway." Jack retorted.
"All I wanted to do was get into her pants." Aiden smirked once again. My face reddened slightly. I became offended and angry. I lifted my hand and slapped him hard, leaving a slight red mark. Jack chuckled under his breath while Aiden held his face.
"Whatever. I didn't like you anyway." Aiden said as he walked away, face red and probably feeling a bit embarrassed. Jack and I high- fived each other. He slipped his arm around my waist, kissing the top of my head as we had walked to the car feeling victorious.

He deserved it lol.
