The next two weeks went smoothly. I started doing videos again and Stella and I were back to normal, but I still wasn’t allowed to ride because of my ribs and Jack had been extremely careful with me and took after me. My doctor confirmed that in two weeks, my ribs would be completely healed. Obviously, Jack asked if that meant if we could have sex again, although we did almost every day, and the doctor said we could, but being careful. That just sent Jack over the edge of happiness… and urge to go inside of me.
I'd started to open up to him more and told him more about my life. He looked pleased I’d actually decided to tell him the truth and open up. Now he knew everything about Mikel and I, my family relationships and my childhood, plus my teenage years. Although we hadn’t talked about my eating guidelines yet.
We were a bit past mid February and today- well, yesterday- Jack’s been a bit distant and super happy about something, and he had been looking at me with a mishchevious grin all day. I asked him about it, but he tried to change the subject, so I decided not to push him. That day we went, for no reason, extremely early to bed.

I had no idea why until I was woken up at 00:01am exactly by my lovely boyfriend.
“Good morning” he seductively whispered in my ear. “And happy birthday” I smiled and turned around, meeting his dark eyes.
He came closer and kissed my lips deeply. I felt urge, passion and sweetness in his kiss. I kissed him back and licked his bottom lip, asking for entrance. He groaned, smiling and granted me entrance. We explored each other’s mouths and soon the kiss started to become more heated. Jack laid me down and kissed my jawline and my neck, leaving possible marks behind. He found my sweet spot and I moaned softly, wrapping my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. I moaned uncontrollably when he found another sweetspot just under my boobs, making him growl in response.
“Someone’s turned on” I giggled.
“It’s my birthday present, actually” he smirked and I noticed he was hard as a rock, but I was wet like an ocean, so we were even.
“How old are you now, 24?” I nodded, "You know what that means?” he teased. I shook my head, “24 years = 24 orgasms in 24 hours” he chuckled huskily.
I froze for a second. He wasn’t talking seriously, was he?
“Wait, are you serious?” I asked a bit confused. He groaned softly in my ear and slid his hand down my panties, rubbing my clit, I gasped.
“I’m horny, not serious, babe” he said huskily.
I moaned in response and he smirked at me deviously with his deep brown, lust-filled eyes and his fingers rubbed my clit faster. He suddenly thrusted a finger inside of me.
“Jack” I moaned trying to control my breathing.
“That’s right, baby, say my name” he grunted in a low voice.
I continued moaning whilst he added more fingers until I felt a familiar knot start in my stomach.
“Jack, I-I’m close” I managed to get out.
He immediately stopped everything and pulled his fingers out of me. I whimpered at the loss of touch when he kneeled on my bed and discarded his boxers, revealing his hard member. I hissed and bit my lip, shamefully turned on, and started to sit up to do something for him, when Jack pushed me back down again.
“No, no, no” he sang a bit, moving a finger in front of me, “Today’s all about you” he kissed me, gaining full access of my mouth. We moved in sync and he stopped for a second to roll a condom over his member and positioned himself at my entrance. He looked at me for my aproval and I nodded.
He thrusted inside of me hard, making me shout. He pulled out slowly and thrusted inside of me harder, making me moan louder than last time. He moved his left hand to one of my boobs and gave it a soft squeeze. That, and his thrusts, sent me over the edge.
I slowly moved my hands to his hair and started to pull, earning a few groans from Jack. I smirked and pressed my legs around his waist, pulling us closer and I started to feel a knot in my stomach. I felt my walls start to tighten around Jack’s dick.
“Jack” I moaned, “I-I’m close“
“Yeah, me too” he breathed out.
His hand on my breast squeezed it a bit harder and started to play with my nipple, sending soft vibrations down my chest. I whimpered in pleasure and Jack’s thrusts started to become sloppy and came in deep inside of me, touching my g-spot every time.
“Oh, fuck” he let out, grabbing my leg and putting it over his shoulder and thrusting deeper. I felt his dick twitch and I moaned louder.
“Damnit, María!” he shouted as I felt the condom fill up. He rode out of his orgasm and I felt myself breathe unevenly. Jack moved the hand of my boob, down to my clit and rubbed circles to help me out.
“Jack! Oh, fuck!” I screamed as I came and rode out of my orgasm.
Jack collapsed next to me and removed his condom, tying it up and throwing it to the bin next to my table, across the room. I sat up a bit to kiss him.
“Twenty-three left” he smirked against my lips.
“Please let me rest a bit” I smiled into the kiss.
“Of course I will” he kissed the tip of my nose, “I have another present for you” he smiled.
“Oh, no, you’re already doing enough for me” I pulled away.
“But this is a gift we both enjoy, and I promised you to give you something for your birthday, either way” he replied.
“And what is it?” I raised an eyebrow.
“You’ll see” he chuckled, “Now sleep for a bit, I’ll be waking you up in an hour” he smirked.

The rest of the night, dawn, and day went on like this. Every time we stopped we talked or slept or kissed, and we walked around on our underwear.
It was 2:14pm, when we rode out of our fourteenth orgasm and Jack collapsed next to me.
“Jack, I swear I won’t be able to walk tomorrow” I breathed out.
“What a shame” he smirked playfully, “I guess someone will have to carry you?” he kissed me softly.
“You bet” I smiled into the kiss. I then groaned, “I’m hungry”
“Babe, I said today will be all about you” he chuckled. I slapped his shoulder and sat up.
“No, really. I am hungry” I groaned again, “Can we order sushi, please?” I begged.
“Sure, give me the number, I’ll call” he sat up and left my bed, to the kitchen, I suppose, since the only landline in the house was in the kitchen. I walked to the kitchen and gave him the number of a restaurant I knew well, and handed him a small “Take away” menu I had on the counter.
Since we were having sex all day, I decided to, at least, eat something so I wouldn’t pass out and my ribs continued healing. Jack was very careful not to put a lot of pressure on my ribcage, and focused more on my hips, head and neck.
The sushi arrived in a matter of minutes and we sat on the table counter. Jack insisted on paying and I had to let him before it turned into a stupid argument.
“Why do you like sushi so much? Don’t get me wrong, I love it too, but you seem to have an obsession with it” Jack asked me whilst he observed me eating a nigiri of salmon.
“I don’t know” I shrugged, “why do you like Home Alone so much?” I asked, smiling a bit.
“Because it’s an awesome movie!” he exclaimed, his eyes sparkling.
“I’ve seen better, to be honest” I replied, earning a gasp from Jack.
“Take that back” he said in a low, mock furious voice. I shook my head no, with a smile smirk creeping on my face.
“You’re gonna regret it” he threatened.
I looked up at him and saw him stand up and pull me up from my seat, putting his hands under my armpits and pulling me up to land on his waist. I wrapped my legs around his waist and he put his hands under to butt to hold me up. He laid me on the aisle of the kitchen and leaned down. I looked a him a bit confused on what he’d do next when he started to tickle my sides.
“Jack! Stop!” I giggled.
“Take it back!” he ordered, laughing himself.
“Never!”
“Then I’m not stopping!”
I giggled until my lungs couldn’t expand more due to my ribs and I tried to relax and breathe slowly, but I couldn’t.
“Jack I can’t breathe” I managed to say between giggles. He looked at me and caught the hint, slowly pulling me up. I sat up and Jack took a step back to let me some space to breathe. I gave him a thumbs up when I caught my breath again.
“You okay?” he said, pulling me into a sweet hug.
“Yeah, sorry about that” I said against his collar bone.
“Don’t be” he pecked my lips and rested his forehead against mine.
A comfortable silence grew between us but I decided to break it.
“I take it back” I breathed out.
“You don’t have to” he whispered in my ear.
“Oh, so you almost torture me to death for not taking it back and when I do, you say I don’t have to?” I asked expectantly, pulling away from him, “Fuck you” I whispered in his ear.
“Don’t worry, you will be in half an hour” he chuckled and brought me closer to him. I slapped his shoulder and chuckled.
“My horny idiot” I mumbled, leaning against his collar bone again. I felt him smirk and kiss my head. “Can I finish my lunch?” I asked quietly.
“Oh, yes, sorry” he grabbed my butt and lifted me up before letting me on the floor again. I hugged him before walking to my original seat and finished my food.
“Round fifteen?” he whispered in my ear when I finished. I turned around and smirked at him before he kissed me and lead me to my room again.

9:27pm.
We were sitting on my big and comfy couch watching Adventure Time. Jack managed to change the language to english and he was staring at the screen with a little cute smile on his face and his arms around me.
“How many condoms have you bought, by the way?” I suddenly asked.
“Hmm… a few packs” he blushed. I chuckled and leaned closer to him.
“How long have you been planning this?”
“For a week or so” I nodded and we were in silence again.
“You know this is being my best birthday present I ever got, right?” I whispered against his neck. I felt some goosebumps appear on his skin and I smirked.
“I’m glad you’re enjoying it” he looked at me with a smile on his lips. He stared into my eyes and then to my lips, biting his lip when he returned to my eyes. I smiled and kissed him slowly, he immediately kissed me back.
“Just remembered” he broke the kiss and stood up. I pouted at him, “I’ll be right back, don’t move” he said before walking to somewhere in my apartement and coming back with a rounded object wrapped in a checkered paper.
“Jack, what the-?” he kissed me softly.
“Happy birthday, Mari” he whispered in my hear, handing me that… thing in his hands.
“You’ve said that twenty times today” I chuckled, tearing the paper slowly.
“Twenty-one” he corrected with a smirk.
“Whatever” I rolled my eyes and tore the paper, I had no clue what he bought me.
My eyes lit up when I touched a soft, black velvet texture. I pulled out the object and saw a beautiful black helmet and I remembered him saying he would buy me a new helmet for my next birthday… almost a year ago. I felt tears well up in my eyes because he remembered to do it after a year, and hugged him tightly until my ribs started to hurt. I kissed him passionately.
“Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou” I kissed him, his smile never leaving his face, “I can’t believe you fucking remembered; I didn’t even remember myself” I squeeled.
“Of course I remembered” he chuckled softly, "I love you” he said tenderly.
“I love you too” I smiled and kissed him.
“By the way, I already know what happened to your old helmet” he said quietly and looked at my confused expression, “The story about the bit of blood of your helmet” he explained briefly. Fuck.
Let’s just say that when I was seventeen and my relationship with Mikel started to go wrong, I cut very deeply and a bit too angrily the day before a horseriding class, and my wound didn’t heal properly, so whilst I rode, it opened again. Oriol had to drag me to the toilets and help me clean up my mess, that was the first time he ever saw me bleeding.
I’m sure Oriol told him. That fucking bastard.
“Don’t blame Oriol” Jack read my expression, “I asked him about it” he explained and hugged me tighter. I looked at him. I still didn't understand why he loved me so much. Just... how? I didn’t notice I was crying until I felt Jack’s thumb wipe away my tears.
“Shh, don’t cry, baby” he rubbed circles on my back.
“How can you love me so much?” I cried. He kissed my forehead and the tip of my nose, then my lips, his hand moved to cheek and caressed it softly.
“It’s easy to love someone so beautiful, intelligent and strong like you, honey” he whispered in my ear, “Believe or not, you are beautiful in every single way. Yes, you have scars and cuts and so on, but you’re still beautiful. You’re maybe a bit too intelligent for your own good, and you think too much, but you don’t use your intelligence against other people, instead you use it to teach and help other people, which also makes you a great person” he turned my head so I was facing him, I was trying to believe him, but his words did’t get me until I looked into his eyes.
He looked certain, sure of what he was saying and also serious, but he also had a, sort of, concerned stare and his eyes sparkled with adoration when out eyes met. That’s when his words got me.
“And you are so fucking strong you don’t even know it. You’ve struggled with this shit before you were even started primary school and started to have real and serious mental issues when you were a teenager. Even though you’ve attempted suicide, you cut yourself, you have some serious breakdowns and all that shit, you’re still here, fighting. To be honest, I’m even surprised you’re still alive after all…” he trailed off and I saw tears well up in his eyes, “But you’re here, fighting. I don’t know what for -I believe it’s in me- but you’re still fighting and I’m so fucking proud of you and I’m so lucky to have someone like you” he started to cry and I kissed him hard, cupping his head with my two hands.
“I’m so fucking in love with you” I said when I pulled away. “I really needed to hear that” I looked at him in the eye, “Thanks, Jack. For everything”
He smiled and kissed me urgently, pulling me close to him and under him, as he leaned on top of me.
“I love you too, bestie” I wiped away his tears and he kissed me back.
“Oh, so you’re now changing my nickname?” I teased to easy the current tension. He smirked, but I continued, “How many nicknames do I have?” I asked to myself aloud, “Mari, Mary, babe, baby, sweety, honey, my lady…” I counted with my hands, “Now bestie… what’s the next one?” I smirked a him and he chuckled. He looked at the clock next to the TV.
“It’s 10:12” he said darkly, “We’re late” he added with a low whisper, sending chills down my spine.
“Oops” I chuckled lustfully.
“You’ll be punished for that” he threatened, sucking on my neck.
“Punish me, then” I whispered in his ear.
His head shot up and smirked at me before removing my underwear and, not bothering to get up, started teasing me on the couch.

“Jaaack” I groaned and poked Jack’s cheek, but he didn’t respond.
“Jaaack” I repeated. Jack opened one eye.
“Hey, baby, what’s up?” he asked innocently.
“I need to shower”
“Then why are you calling my name?”
“I need someone to help me out” I smirked playfully. His face lit up.
“Dear María, count me in” he chuckled earning a blush and playful slap on his shoulder from me.
“What?! You put it too easy for me!” he replied, rubbing his shoulder with a smirk.
“Yeah, whatever, let’s go to the shower” I sat up slowly and, completely naked, walked to the bathroom, earning wolf whistles from Jack, who was behind me and slapped my butt playfully. I checked him out aswell, my eyes stopping in his Jack Skellington tattoo, his happy trail, eyes, and his flat, sex hair. I hissed and bit my lip.
“Who’s horny now?” Jack whispered in my ear when we entered the shower.
I smirked and kissed him deeply. God, I love him so much.

Jack stayed with me until the end of February, when he got a call from Matt, telling him to start to head to Baltimore because they were starting the Spring Fever Tour.
We were now in the airport and Jack was about to leave, but couldn’t bring himself to do it.
“Jack…” he looked up to me. “Don’t be so sad, baby” I hugged him.
“How can I not be? I want to be with you” he fought back the tears.
“And you are” I cupped his head with my hands, “I love you a lot, Jacky” I said, knowing how his nickname lit up his mood. “And we’ll see each other soon, I’m sure” I kissed him.
“Promise?” he held up his finger.
“I promise” I said, linking and shaking our fingers together and letting them go.
I hugged him tightly and he kissed me, bringing me almost, off the floor.
“I love you” he said.
“I know” I smirked, “I love you too” I kissed him back.
"Retake your horseriding lessons as soon as your ribs are healed," he started with a motherly tone, I chuckled and nodded to everything, "don't talk to stranger, brush your teeth everyday and call me every single night" he listed down.
"Okay, mom" I chuckled and gave him one last hug, "I'll see you soon, Jacky" I kissed him, my hands around his neck. He put his hands on my waist and pulled me against his body and kissed me back.
"See you soon, tiger" he winked at me as if to say 'list that one down'. He pecked my lips and hesitantly turned around and walked to the security area. He blew me a kiss before going down the mechanic stairs and to his place.
I’ll miss him so much.

Notes

Sorry for the crappy smut part, I wrote it when I was half asleep.
Aw, they're seperated again :( Any thoughts about what could happen?
