Me Without You

“Wake up!” A female voice screeched at the door of Jack and I’s hotel room in Manchester. We had been here for three days already, not wanting to stay on a bus until the next show after Reading and Leeds. “Jasey-Rae you will get your ass up and you will have fun with me!” Jack groaned and rolled on top of me, pining me down the moment I made an effort to move. “You have an hour. At ten I’m getting Matt to open the door and I’m dragging you out.” We waited still for a moment until the footsteps had faded and the all hell broke loose.
“Love me!” Jack declared, pinning my arms to my side, straddling my stomach.
“I do love you, silly.” I tutted, trying to get free of my other half who had way too much energy for this time of the morning. Jack shook his head a sly smile on his face.
“Jasey, love me.” His eyes grew dark and he freed one of my hands in order to run his fingers down my cheek, my neck and trace my collarbone.
“Jacky…” I sighed, knowing exactly what he wanted. His lips found their way to mine and a trail of kisses began running down my face, neck and shoulders. “Jack, stop.” I mumbled against his skin.
“Why not?” He jumped off and sat sulking on his side of the bed.
“It’s weird.” I grumbled, running a hand through my hair. “I mean, I’m pregnant.”
“God, Jay, people do it. It’s perfectly safe.” I could see Jack had been getting more and more frustrated by my refusal every day. “I don’t see why you have such an aversion to it.” I shrugged and pulled the sheet up around my chest.
“I find it odd and it’s not exactly comfortable.” Jack jumped up from the bed and pulled on a pair of jeans from his case. “Oh, come on, Jack.” His movements were quick and hasty as he pulled his clothes on.
“We’re meant to be getting married!” He exclaimed. “We’re getting married and I can’t even touch you.” He started to pace around the room anxiously.
“I think you’re being dramatic.” I sighed as I slid out of the covers and rooted through my clothes to find a suitable outfit to go with Tay in.
“Everything’s going to change now. We’re not going to have sex for another seven months because you’re pregnant. Then after that you’ll be too tired. Our lives are over. I’m going to explode.” I pulled on a pair of simple light blue skinny jeans and a singlet.
“Okay, now you are being dramatic. Things will not be that bad.” I couldn’t help but laugh at him. He seemed genuinely distressed by the situation. “Jacky, I promise you we will have sex again.” Jack looked doubtful and I couldn’t help but burst out laughing again. I pulled on a jersey I had bought from TopShop yesterday before crossing the room and took his face in my hands, pulling him in for a quick kiss. “Baby, I promise you, we will throw these kids to whoever we can find at least once every week for the night. It’ll be just you and me, and we can do whatever we like. This will not ruin us, I won’t let it.” I could feel him smile as our foreheads leaned against each other. “And as for you exploding…” I paused as Jack pulled away from me so he could analyse my features.
“Don’t fuck with me now, Roberts.” Jack’s eyes were tiny slits are he squinted at me, doubting my intentions. I tipped my head upside down and pulled my hair into a messy bun before walking off into the bathroom to make my face acceptable. “Jasey?” Jack followed me in, desperate to know what I was going to say. I pulled out my bag of make-up and began slathering on my foundation while Jack bounced around me. “Baby, what were you going to say?” He whined as he squeezed in behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I quickly drew some dark lines around my eyes, adding tiny flicks at the corners and blinked onto my mascara brush. “Jasey!” I turned around and smiled at him.
“You are so impatient.” I sighed as I ducked under his arm to find my shoes.
“You were going to say something.” Jack pleaded and I kept myself from laughing at the sheer desperation in his voice.
“No, I don’t think I was.” I answered plainly as I pulled on a pair of socks and loosened the laces of my vans.
“Jay!” I grabbed my purse, jacket and phone and leant up on my tiptoes to kiss Jack’s nose before heading for the door. I made sure I had my key before letting myself into the hallway and then turning and poking my head through the doorframe.
“I’ll make everything better tonight.” I winked at Jack before turning around and leaving, pulling the bun from my hair so it would fall down in its messy waves around my shoulders. I was half-way down to the elevators before Jack called after me.
“Does that mean what I think it does?” He called and I ignored him. “Is it blowjob night?!” He sounded like a kid who was going to Disneyland.
“I’ll make everything better!” I called as I stepped into the lift, smiling to myself.
There was something I would always hold over Jack as long as we lived. Sex.

Notes

This was not at all what I had originally planned for this chapter but I kind of just... wrote. And this is what became of it. Oops.
The next chapter is full of Tay and Jasey and I currently have plans for a sequel AND a prequel after this story is finished. So, please do let me know which one you want first!
I hope you're enjoying it!
