Guts

"Jack! I'm home!" I called through the house when I entered.

I didn't get a reply, which concerned me greatly, because anything could've happened. I set my keys down on the table by the door, and I rushed into the living room; finding it empty.

"What the hell did you do, Jack?" I asked myself as I climbed the stairs two at a time. I pushed the door open to our room, finding it empty as well.

"I was gone for twenty minutes, Jack! What the hell did you do?" I yelled as I checked Jackie's room and the bathroom; finding them both empty. I was worried and pissed off at the same time. He was here when I left, where the fuck could he have gone?

I jumped slightly as I heard music from the backyard. I mentally slapped myself. I forgot to check the backyard. I rushed back down the stairs, stopping in the living room when I spotted something draped over the couch with a sticky note stuck to it. I approached it and took the sticky note off.

Becca,

Put this on and then meet me in the backyard.

-Jack

I tossed the note away and picked up the clothes, rushing back upstairs. Ugh. Stairs. There were too many of them. I quickly changed in our room, looking at what he'd picked out.

I was to put on a black bathing suit with a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a somewhat see through black top. I decided against the bathing suit, and I searched through my drawers to find my sexiest underwear: a leopard print bra with matching panties. I found them, discarded my clothes, changed, and I headed back downstairs, this time making it past the living room.

"Jack!?" I called after closing the sliding glass door behind me. He appeared from my left, making me look over in astonishment.

"You look-"

"You didn't put on the bathing suit I layed out for you," he pointed out.

"How did-"

"There's no bathing suit strap around your neck, sweetheart," Jack said. I smiled.

"I've got a little... something else for you baby," I replied, slowly approaching him.

"Oh yeah? What's that?" He asked. I stalled my answer until I was right in front of him. I placed my hands on his chest, and I bit my lip.

"That's for me to know... and you to find out," I said quietly, and I pulled him into a kiss. His hands slowly trailed down my body, feeling every curve there was to feel. He placed his hands on my ass, lifting me up, and I wrapped my legs around his waist. We kissed slowly and gently, and Jack walked us towards the pool. I pulled away for a second, just to say something.

"You throw me in that pool, and I will whip your ass," I growled into his ear. Jack only chuckled.

"Maybe I'm into that," he whispered, and before I knew it, I was gasping for air. I swam over to the edge of the pool, and I rested my arms on the cement.

"Come here," I said gently. Jack hesitated, but approached.

"Don't be so nervous. I just want a kiss," I said. I placed my lips upon his, and deepened it, just to catch him off-guard.. which I did. I grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him in head-first. He surfaced, and he shook the water out of his hair. I laughed at him and returned to resting my arms on the cement.

I took this opportunity to admire what Jack had done in the twenty minutes I had been gone. The lights were replaced with small Christmas lights that were, what looked like, wrapped hastily around the wooden beams that supported the ceiling over the deck. In all honesty, it looked beautiful.

I continued to look around, just admiring everything. The darkness of the hour made everything look better as well. The lights in the pool had kicked on, making the water glow, the reflection of the Christmas lights in the water was dazzling, and the fact that Jack had done it in under twenty minutes amazed me.

"You made it look gorgeous, Jack," I said. Granted, it wasn't much, but it was enough.

"Glad you like it, babe," he replied, and he wrapped his arms gently around my waist from behind.

"I don't like it, Jack. I love it. I love you. I love everything you've done for me. I honestly never expected to end up with you, seriously," I said as I gazed up at the now forming stars.

"I've liked you for a while, Rebecca," Jack said as he pressed his body up against mine. An airplane soared past overhead, and I followed it until I couldn't strain my eyes to do so.

The pinkish tinge of the sky was slowly fading to purple the longer we stayed there.

"How long?" I asked minutes later.

"Since I met you. You were perfect to me.. you still are. I missed you like hell when you left for Texas. I was so glad when you came back, but you never seemed happy with anything," Jack said softly.

"That's because I wasn't happy. Brandon fucked my life up. For what? A life sentence in prison? He'll never meet her, and I'm disappointed in him," I said. Jack rubbed soothing circles on my upper arm, causing chills to get the better of me.

"Wanna take this inside?" He whispered in my ear. I nodded, and we both got out of the pool soaking wet and cold. We dried off as best we could with the towels Jack had set out.

"Shh. Do you hear that?" I asked.

"Hear what?" Jack asked.

"The frogs," I said quietly. We both listened, and I could hear the sounds of frogs in the distance. Jack only smiled and pulled me into the warm house.

"I say... we take this party upstairs," Jack whispered in my ear. I shuddered, and we both rushed upstairs and into our room. Jack closed and locked the door behind me after I'd entered, and he was quick to help me get my sopping wet clothes off.

"I told you you'd find out," I said with a wink. Jack only eyed my bra with lust filled eyes, and I smirked. I helped him out of his own clothes, and we proceeded to the bed in a heap of kisses and laughing.

~~

The next day, I woke up with Jack's warm arms around my waist. I laid there for minute, just thinking about last night and how perfect it was. We'd had great sex, too. I looked over at Jack and smiled. He groaned and pulled me closer to his warm body, and I blushed. He had a boner.

"Jack! Get up, you horny fuck!" I said loudly, causing him to groan and pull my chest towards his face.

"What? Hello boobs. You're beautiful," he murmured before letting out a loud snore. I laughed and slapped him, and I pulled the blankets over me.

"Fuck.. be gentle, shit," he whined as he slowly rubbed his cheek.

"I'm sorry baby," I said, and Jack kissed my lips softly.

I felt like the luckiest girl in the world.
