Weightless ~

So I followed my instincts and asked Jack if he wants to be my boyfriend. He said yes and I think I've never been happer, fullfilled. I was looking forward to our future together. We decided that slowly he will move to my place, renting his just in case. You never know, so we decided that selling it wasn't an option.

*A MONTH LATER*
It was Saturday and me and Jack were cuddling on the couch, watching tv and drinking coffee. We had a really great time together. Most of his stuff was already at my place, our home. I was happy, really happy. About a week ago I talked to my parents, told them everything that happened, they were very understanding, as always, but they were mostly happy that I dealt with all my problems like I was supposed to and all that matters is that I'm happy. Either with Jack or Vic. Which reminds me, I still haven't heard from Vic. I grabbed a drink with Tony and Mike a couple of times, but all I know was what Mike told me. Vic was okay, he was spending time with his family and Jaime would watch over him when they were busy. I'm glad he's doing fine.
I felt alive again when I was with Jack. He's truly an amazing person and I'm glad he loves me back. He'd always put his arm over my shoulders and pull me closer so I could place my head on his shoulder. I absolutely adore him.
I heard the bell ring.

»Babe, would you get that for me, I'll get us some cookies.« I yelled from the kitchen. Jack went to the door and I heard him talking, then I recognized a familiar voice. Shit.

»Is Alex here? I need to talk to him.« I heard Vic say. I ran to the door and saw Vic looking at me, a bit surprised. His big brown eyes were set on mine. I felt really uncomfortable and tense.

»Is this a bad time?« He asked. I just stood by the door and kept staring at him, saying nothing.
»We can drop by some other time, Vic wanted to see you though.« Mike said.

»Alex, are you okay?« I heard Jack say, putting his palm on my shoulder and gently squeezing. Then I snapped out of it.

»Yeah, I'm fine, sorry.« I said and invited them in. Jack sensed something wasn't 100%. He introduced himself as my friend and I was thankful for that. He gave me a chance to explain everything to Vic by myself.

»Nice meeting you guys, I'm gonna take a walk, grab something from the store. See you!« He said. He looked at me and I saw his lips moving slowly. He asked if I was okay, I could read his lips. I nodded and grinned. Then he left.

»I'm sorry for barging in on you like this.« Vic said. »I am now ready to talk to you about everything.« He said.

»I'm glad.« I said and offered them some coffee. Mike grabbed his cup of coffee, thanking me, then he went to the living room to watch tv so we could talk.

»So, how are you feeling?« I said and took a seat next to Vic.

»I'm okay, I get headaches sometimes, but it's better. I really owe it to the guys for helping and taking care of me.« His eyes were sparkling, he was happy too. And I was very glad, but everytime I looked at him, I saw those 3 months he'll never remember again. That still hurt me.

»I see you're doing alright as well. Jack seems really great.« He continued.
»Yeah, Jack is… amazing, I don't deserve him actually.« I grabbed a cookie and looked down. I felt so little.

»Don't say that Alex. You're extraordinary. Even though I don't remember, I know you and I've liked what I saw, from the first day. Don't make it hard on yourself, none of this was your fault.« He said and put his hand on my knee.

»Look at me.« He said, and I did. I looked into his beautiful eyes and believed him.
»Everything's okay. I'm happy for you and Jack. I actually have to tell you something.« He said.
I stuffed the last piece of the cookie into my mouth.

»Since I've returned home, Jaime was always there for me, and… well, we kinda got close.« I looked at him and I was shocked. But I wasn't the one to judge, I was with Jack.
»So, we're slowly going there, and so far, it's great. I thought you should know.« He said and took a sip of coffee.

»Wow Vic, this is… wow, uhm… this is great. I'm really happy for you.« I didn't know what else to say. I mean I was happy for them both, Jaime is an awesome guy, but all the memories just flashed back in my head.

»Thanks. I would really like for us to be friends, if it's okay by you.« He said and smiled.
»Yeah, of course.« I replied. Well, I definitely didn't want to lose him forever, I already lost him as a boyfriend. But that lead me to Jack I guess, this is how things are supposed to be.

He pulled me into a hug and thanked me for everything, then we just talked a little, I would tell him about work and meeting Jack and all that. After that they left. I just kept sitting in the kitchen, staring into a point somewhere. I was still grasping what just happened. Jack returned home a few minutes later and pulled a chair next to mine. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer. He didn't say anything, always doing the right thing, that man…

»Can I ask you something?« I said after a few minutes of silence.
»Of course.« He replied, kissing my forehead and holding me tight.
»Do I make you happy?« I looked into his eyes and I could feel tears filling up mine.

»Alex, what kind of question is that? Of course you make me happy. Silly.« He said and pressed his lips against mine gently. »If you made me unhappy, I wouldn't be living with you, loving you more and more everyday. I'll never leave you, unless you'd want me to.«

He always knew what to say, he always knew how I felt. I love this man, I do. So much it consumes me.

»I love you.« I whispered as tears came running down my cheeks. My lips gently touched his. »Awh, babe, don't cry. I love you too.« He wiped away my tears with his thumb and just held me in his arms. I was shaking a little, but he was very successful at calming me down and making me feel good.
»I will always be here for you Alex, never forget that. You gave my life sense again and I will never stop loving you.« He said and continued: »Do you wanna go lie down?«

I nodded and he picked me up like I was light as a feather and carried me to the bedroom. He slowly put me down on the bed, covering me with a blanket. Then he lay next to me and spooned me. I was completely relaxed and I started drifting away to sleep.

»My little princess, I love you.« He whispered into my ear. Our fingers interlocked. »I love you too Jacky.« I moaned before dozing off completely.
