Guts
Chapter Fourteen: Hail To The King
The door to Jack's house opened, revealing Alex.
I smirked over at Stephanie as her eyes laid on the necklace she gave him. Her eyes trailed up to meet Alex's, & she smiled at him.
"Hey Rebecca, Stephanie," Alex said, & he let us in.
"Hey Jacky!" I said once the three of us entered the living room. I let my eyes sweep over the living room, smiling at everyone who was there; Rian, Cass, Zack, Alex, & of course Jack. I approached Jack, who was sat next to Rian, & I kissed him softly. He stood up, our lips still attached, & he cupped my cheek.
"Well, excuse you," Alex said, & I pulled away from Jack, burying my now red face into his chest, & I wrapped my arms around his neck. His went around my waist, & I was forced to step backwards until I hit a wall. I was laughing, as was Jack, & I looked up at him. He pecked my lips once more, & he stepped away from me, pulling me back over to the couch. He pulled me onto his lap, & I looked around the room.
"Well, Stephanie... you're in the same room as your favorite band again. How does that make you feel?" I asked.
"Uh.. nervous. Really nervous, actually," she said, looking around with a worried expression.
"Don't be, we don't bite," Alex said, and he guided her over to the only available seat in the room; an armchair; by her hands. She was blushing like mad, & I grinned at her. Alex sat down & pulled Stephanie onto his lap with a stupid grin. He snaked his arms around her waist, & her face only got redder.
"What is it with you two blushing so much?" Zack asked, looking between Stephanie & me. I shrugged, & I lent against Jack.
"Hands, Alex. She's seventeen," I said, noticing that he was rubbing her stomach.
"Hey, only a little over a month until I'm eighteen. September thirtieth is my birthday," she said. Alex smiled more to himself than anyone, & I bit my lip.
"Well, we're all totally hanging out on your birthday," I said.
About an hour later, I pulled Alex aside while everyone was in the kitchen. I gave him an expectant look, & he raised his eyebrows.
"What?" He asked.
"Stephanie obviously likes you, idiot," I said.
"I can tell, but first of all, she's seventeen, & second of all, I haven't known her that long," he said.
"Who cares. You haven't taken that necklace off since she gave it to you," I said, pointing at it. He blushed slightly.
"& what's that supposed to mean?" He asked.
"You should know. Now, go give her your number," I said, & I walked away from him with a smile.

"He gave me his number!" Stephanie shrieked as I pulled up in front of her house. I smiled & looked at her.
"Well, here's your stop," I said softly.
"Oh," she said, all excitement draining away.
"If you want.. I could walk you in," I suggested.
"No it's okay. I don't want to draw any attention to you. I'll see you later, Rebecca. Thanks for today," she said, & I nodded. She got out & closed the door behind her, & I watched as she took a deep breath & trudged up the lawn to her front door. She slipped in, & I pulled away from the house, going in the direction of Jack's once again.
"You're so sweet to her, Becca," Jack said once we were settled.
"I'm her friend. Friends are nice to each other, and she honestly needs someone there for her," I said. Jack hummed & placed a soft kiss on my neck. We were laying in his bed, the television blaring on a low volume in the background.
I was wearing just a tank top & my underwear, & Jack was in a pair of boxer briefs. I was wrapped in his arms, being the little spoon, & I was quite comfy.
"You know... I could get used to this," Jack whispered in my ear. I smiled & he pressed a chaste kiss to my lips.
"I could get used to... you laying in your underwear in my bed... you wrapped in my arms every night... seeing you when I wake up every morning... cooking you breakfast in bed every Saturday... I could get used t-"
"I think I get it, Jacky," I said quietly, laughing a little as I did so, interrupting his soft voice.
"No, I don't think you do," he said with a low growl.
"What do you mean?" I asked. He pressed his lips against my neck again, kissing softly.
"What I mean is..." He trailed off, kissing me suddenly.
"Will you move in with me?" He asked, & I could feel my heart skip a beat.
"Isn't.... isn't it a little early for that?" I asked, biting my lip.
"It's never too early for anything," he said, caressing my thigh slowly.
"But I'm only nineteen... you're twenty.. I don't know, Jacky. I'm still young," I said, quieter still.
"You're almost twenty," he pointed out, & I could feel his teeth graze my jaw.
"True.." I said, resisting the temptation to press my lips to his.
"So. Is that a yes.... or a no..?" He asked, lips working against my neck once more.
"Of course it's a yes, Jack-o!" I replied, & I turned to face him, & I kissed him hard.
Everything was utterly perfect.
