The Good Life

Alex

I'm the biggest asshole in the world. I shouldn't have implied that Jack was a whore or anything for sleeping with John years ago. I was way over that, I was just so pissed that John and Alan were taunting us and I took my anger out on Jack.

I had been sitting in one of our guest rooms ever since we got back home a few hours ago. I just needed time to think and cool off. Basically I was giving myself a time out. I deserved it for the way I accused Jack of stuff. Now I needed to get up and go apologize to him.

I went downstairs to our bedroom and tried to open the door but it was locked. I sighed and knocked on the door. Jack didn't come to the door or say anything.

I knocked again and called his name, but he still didn't answer. Either he was sleeping or ignoring me. Probably the second one.

"Jack I know you can here me!" I said and knocked harder. He still didn't answer me. "Jack!" I yelled.
"Go away, Alex." He calmly stated.

"Please let me in so we can talk." I begged.

"No. Go away."

"Jack-"

"-I just want to be alone right now." He cut me off. I could hear his voice trembling as if he was on the verge of crying.

"Okay. I love you." I walked away and left him alone. I went back to the guest room to think some more.

I really fucked up and hurt Jack this time. It was clear he wasn't going to talk to me today. I needed someone to help give me ideas on how to apologize. So I called the love sappiest person I knew.

"Hello?" Rian answered his phone.

"Hey Ri, I need your help with something."

"What is it?"

"So I kind of hurt Jacks feelings, by being a dick, and I need some ideas on how to apologize in a cute loving way." I told him.

"Oh um well have you actually tried saying 'I'm sorry?'" He asked.

"I tried but he wouldn't let me talk to him. It's really bad like I think he's crying." I sighed.

"What the hell did you do?"

"We had an argument and I kind of implied that he was a whore for sleeping with that John guy years ago." I confessed.

"Well of course he doesn't want to talk to you, asshole." He scolded me.

"We already acknowledged that I am an asshole. You're supposed to help me figure out a way to apologize!"

"Oh right! Well start off with buying him flowers and chocolate. I usually do that for Cass when I piss her off so it should work for hurting his feelings too. Then try apologizing again, but if he wont listen then write him a note explaining how sorry you are. If that doesn't work then you are screwed cause I don't know what else you could do to help."

"It sounds like a good plan. Thanks Ri!" I told him.

"You're welcome. Tell me how it goes."

"I will. Bye." We hung up and I googled flower shops around our area. I wanted to get the flowers delivered to his office tomorrow while he was at work.

The best option under the 'sorry' section was a fifty dollar bouquet of red roses and white tulips. They also had chocolates that I could add to the order so I chose to send dark since that was Jack's favorite. I selected for it to be delivered around Jack's lunch time so he wouldn't be busy when he got it all. I made the card that came with the flowers say "I'm sorry I'm such an asshole. You deserve better than me. -Love Alex."

I really hoped he would forgive me by tomorrow. I hated when we didn't speak to each other, or sleep next to each. I even hated that I wouldn't be able to kiss him goodnight, but I really deserved this as a punishment.

I laid in the guest bed watching tv until the sun went down and my stomach started growling. I got up and went down stairs to smell food cooking in the kitchen. When I walked in I was surprised to see Izzy making spaghetti and meatballs. I don't think I've ever seen her make anything didn't require the use of the microwave or oven.

"That smells amazing!" I complimented her.

"Thanks, but you can't have any." She told me.

"Why not?"

"Because you hurt Papa's feelings." She stated.

"I tried apologizing but he wouldn't listen to me!" I explained and she shrugged her shoulders not caring. "This is BS I paid for all those ingredients." I grumbled as I grabbed a bowl, the milk, and the box of Cheerios. I didn't feel like making anything difficult.

I watched as Izzy made Jack's plate and took it to him on a serving tray. She always took his side and babied when we argued.

I bitterly ate my cereal while staring at the hot food on the stove. I guess this was part of my punishment too.

Sleeping in the guest bed alone was hell. I couldn't get comfortable without Jack there to be my little spoon. He probably couldn't sleep well without me either which made me feel worse.

Now I was at work on my lunch break in my classroom alone. I could have ate with some of the other teachers, but I didn't want to bum them out with my depressing mood.

The flowers I bought for Jack were sent to him five minutes ago and I hadn't received a text or call from him yet. Maybe that wasn't enough for him to forgive me. Like Rian, I also didn't know what else I could do to apologize. I'm just going to try apologizing in person again.

The first thing I did when I got home was go to our bedroom to see if the door was locked. It surprisingly wasn't but I don't know if that's just because Jack forgot to lock it. The flowers were sitting in the middle of the island in the kitchen, which had to be a good sign because he probably would have thrown them away if he was still upset with me.

I turned the doorknob and slowly walked in the room. Jack was in the bathroom so I don't think he heard me walk in. I could hear him humming some pop song that's been over played on the radio. He definitely didn't hear me come in.

I stood in the middle of our room debating what I should say to him. After arguing with myself for a moment I just forced myself to walk in before he could out and see me just standing there.

"Hey." I said, catching him off guard and causing him to jump. "Sorry." I lightly chuckled.

"It's okay." He mumbled quickly and went back to fiddling with his hair in the mirror. He looked so good standing there with just his sweatpants and t-shirt. I had to remind myself that i needed to apologize first.

"Did you like the flowers?" I asked shyly.

"Yeah they're beautiful."

"And did you read the card that came with it?"

"Yeah it said something about you being an asshole." He shrugged.

"Yeah I kind of am." I said while rubbing the back of my neck.

"Kind of? You're the biggest asshole I have ever met." He said and I looked down at my hands not knowing what to say. "...But you're my asshole." He walked closer and kissed me. I kissed back but pulled away to apologize again.

"I am really sorry, Jack. I had reason to get pissed about something that happened decades ago." I apologized.

"It's okay. I think yesterday was just so bad because we had been bickering all day and let our emotions build up." He said.

"That's still no excuse for the way I was acting."

"Shh I already said I forgive you." He giggled and reconnected our lips. I could tell by the kiss that he missed me as much as I missed him.

I picked him up by his hips and sat him on the counter in our bathroom. He wrapped his legs around my hips and continued to shove his tongue in my mouth. We were getting to my favorite thing we did after an argument; makeup sex. It's a good thing Izzy went to Lynn's house after school. I was planning on this to be rough and loud.

I quickly helped Jack out of his shirt and unloosed my tie around my neck. We were quickly trying to rip each other's clothes off. It took longer for me too get out of my clothes since I had on a button up and other dress clothes.

I left Jack on the counter naked as I went in our room to grab the lube out of his nightstand drawer. When I returned Jack was leaning back with his back against the mirror and his hand touching himself. Of course he didn't have enough self control to wait.

I watched him while I applied the lube on myself. Once I was finished, I had to force my hand to stop touching myself. I pushed Jack's hand out of the way and pulled him by his hips to the end of the counted top so I could line up with his entrance.

I stared deep into his eyes as I pushed in and watched his eyes roll behind his head. We purposely didn't stretch him so that my dick could do it instead. I kissed and bit at his neck until I was sure he was comfortable enough for me to move.

I placed one hand on the mirror and the other on his hip so I could control how fast and hard I thrusted into him. The angle I was pushing into him with was making him cry out loud for me.

"Ugh Jack you're tight." I moaned as bit at his bottom lip. I always told him this but I don't think he understood how good he felt.

"No I think you're just really big." He painted and kissed me.

We were both getting close now. I put both hands on his hips and started thrusting into him faster. I was about to come any second now.

"Fuck, Alex!" Jack moaned as he shot up onto his stomach. That brought me closer to euphoria.

"Shit." Jack said holding on to my biceps and looking his mess he was covered in. "Just come on me." He said causally and that did it for me.

I pulled out of him and jerked off til I was spraying all over his chest and stomach.
We were both breathing heavily when we finished. I stepped back a little to admire how sexy Jack looked.

"Don't look at me. I'm ashamed." He laughed.

"No you look really hot!" I exclaimed.

He rolled his eyes at me, jokingly, and grabbed a towel to wipe his stomach and chest off with.
I grabbed his face and pulled it to mine so I could kiss him again. He wrapped his legs around my waist as we made out and got ready for round two.
