I woke up at around 1:45pm, but Jack wasn’t anywhere to be seen, although I heard him pretty well. I turned around and saw him with his back to me, standing in the middle of our room and speaking on the phone.
“Please, Matt!” I heard him whisper-yell, “I can’t just leave her here!” Was he talking about me? There was a pause, “Because she’s important to her! She won’t cause any trouble, I promise! …María, of course, she’s hers... ” Stella? Long pause, “Thankyou thankyou thankyou! You won’t regret it, I promise!” he turned around just after I had closer my eyes.
I heard soft footsteps approach me and felt something hot and wet press against my forehead, then my lips.
“You’re so beautiful, baby” he whispered, unaware that I was awake.
He then pushed me a bit and felt his body pressed against mine, his arms around my back.
I slowly opened my eyes and faked I’d just woken up, stretching my arms. However, I did my normal morning noise, which I haven’t done it before.
“Good morning, sunshine” Jack kissed the tip of my nose.
“Morning” I smiled.
“You sound like a baby dinasour when you do that noise” he chuckled. I punched his arm weakly, “It’s cute” I blushed.
“Stop it” I buried my face in the pillow when my stomach roared, “I’m hungry” I complained.
“Get dressed, we’re going out” he kissed my cheek and rolled off bed.
I slowly got up and walked to the cupboard and finally picked up an outfit and went to bathroom to brush my teeth and do my makeup. I was tying my shoe laces, standing up and hopping on a foot, when I felt Jack hugging me from behind.
“Why do you always look so stunning?” I felt him smile.
“Why do you have to be so caring?” I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck, planting a soft kiss on his lips.
“I’m your boyfriend” he smiled into the kiss and pulled away, our foreheads touching. I started to blush.
“The best one” I added, making him blush aswell.
“Still hungry?” he said after a short comfortable pause.
“A bit” I buried my face in his chest, “Although it’s not food what I’m craving…” I said in a lower voice; I knew cheeky comments like these made Jack happy.
“And then people say I’m the pervert” he chuckled. I smiled to myself and held his hand. I looked at our hands and then to Jack’s eyes, he was already staring at me. “So… lunch?” he raised an eyebrow.
“Lunch” I nodded and we headed downstairs.

We walked all the way to the restaurant. He told me about last tour, since we hadn’t talked about it much, and I had to finally tell him about the nightmares and everything, but didn’t just tell him about the bad stuff, I added how Stella and Ladrón had been becoming friends, I guess, and how well our sessions had been. Also, I mentioned my sudden increase of people wanting me to do their tattoos and stuff, which he found awesome. He may have mentioned seeing some of my designs and some pictures, which made me blush.
The restaurant was cozy and very attractive. It had soft creme walls and a wooden floor, the furniture matched with the walls and floor, and was either dark brown or dark grey, not too dark though. It had white large curtains at each side of the big windows and the tables were mostly round and had a flower on each table.
The waitress recognised Jack pretty well and I didn’t know if I had to feel annoyed or delightened, so I ought for not giving a fuck.
Jack ordered the children’s menu and a coke, and I ordered a salad and water.
“Seems like they know you pretty well in here” I smiled at Jack once the waitress, Lydia, left us alone.
She was short and had sunkissed skin. Her shoulder-length hair was wavy and a dark brown colour. She was fit and had little but marked curves. She had fleckles on her face and hazel eyes, and looked rather cute.
“Yeah, well… the waitress’ parents own the place and they're friends with my parents, so they often meet here... They used to throw big familiar parties together also...” he trailed off and looked a me, “You like it?”
“It’s very nice, actually” I smiled, looking around for a brief moment before my eyes landed on his.
“I’m glad you like it” he looked at me and I realised he would’ve kissed me right then if it wasn’t because there was a table between us, “I called Matt today” he said.
Yeah, I know. I was sleepily eavesdropping when I woke up.
“Really? Is something wrong?” I asked.
“No, no. It’s just…” he looked down to the table, “He called me a few days ago telling me we were in Warped Tour this year and, well, since the incident yesterday I decided I…” he looked up at me in case I got upset or wasn’t following the conversation, “I-I decided I wanna make sure, personally, that you’re okay so I called him this morning to tell him I was bringing you with me ?” he kind of asked, looking for aproval.
I sat there, thinking for a second. Aaron, my boss, wouldn’t mind me going to Warped for a few weeks, right?
“Please say something” Jack reached for my hand across the table.
“I’m thinking about what to say to my boss and how will he take it” I said.
“I’ll speak to him if you want to…” he offered.
“I’m not a baby, Jack” I protested, smiling at him so he wouldn’t get my response badly.
“I know” he smirked, “I wouldn’t fuck a baby” he tried to hold back a chuckle.
I smacked his hand and giggled, his smile growing wider.
“I love it when you giggle” he commented.
“Don’t change the subject, Barakat” I smiled, “I’ll speak to him and tell you if he aproves or not” I concluded.
“Alright, but I’m taking you with me anyways” he said. Before I could reply, the waitress came with our food.
We ate in a comfortable silence, exchanging looks and Jack smiling at me and making me chuckle when he started to make faces.
“Hmm, I forgot” he said, casually, “I convinced Matt to bring Stella, also” I dropped my fork and stared at him. “What?” he asked innocently.
“What do you mean you convinced Matt to bring Stella?” I said after swallowing.
“You and Stella are pretty close, and if I’m onstage and I can’t do anything to make you feel better at a specific time, you could have Stella” he said like it was nothing.
“Jack, I don’t even know if it’s legal to-” I argued. Trying to explain how complicated the whole horse-travelling thing was.
“It is” I raised an eyebrow at him, “I googled it this morning”
“I’ll ask the vet” I finished, not wanting to argue about this.
He placed his hand on mine again, making my eyes lay on his.
“It’ll be alright, babe. We’ll have fun, Stella will be there to kick some ass, it’ll be perfect!” he tried to reassure me, “Plus, there’s a tent for youtubers!”
“Yeah, but I’m technically not invited” I rolled my eyes.
“About that-“ he said, remembering something, “Matt told us in our invitation to Warped, it included you also, but they didn’t send you anything because since you and I are together, they ‘included’ you in our e-mail, thinking we’ll mention it to you” I kept my mouth shut, trying to keep it from hanging.
“And you tell me this now? When’s Warped Tour, anyways?”
“In two weeks” he answered, “I’ll show you the mail if you don’t believe me, but-“
“I do believe you” I cut him off, “I’m just… surprised, that’s all”
He squeezed my hand.
“So, you’re coming?” he asked with hope in his eyes.
“Of course I am” I smiled.
“Good” he smiled back, “I would’ve dragged you to the bus anyways” he said more quietly.
I gasped and we chuckled, continuing our meal.
I didn’t have dessert, I still couldn’t keep so much food down, and looked at the landscape from the window.
You could see Baltimore’s harbour from there, two boats were arriving to the dock, with lots of fish in their nets, whilst three others were leaving.
After Jack finished his dessert, and after a small fight to see who payed, Jack payed and we left.
“Let me pay sometime” I whined when we got out.
“No” he said simply.
“Why not?” I crossed my arms.
“Because” he put a hand around my waist and pulled me closer to his side, “You are my lady, my princess, and I wanna treat you the way you deserve” he kissed my temple and I chuckled.
“You don’t follow that rule in bed” I muttered.
He laughed and stopped walking, turned me around and kissed me passionately, for no reason in particular.
“I can’t name a thing I don’t love about you” he whispered, our foreheads touching.
“Touché” I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him again. He immediately kissed back and we made out for a little until I pulled away, both of our faces red and smiling.
“The thing is, I try to fuck you like a princess, but: you plus how hot you are, makes it impossible for me to keep it sweet and innocent” he explained, “You drive me crazy, baby” he whispered in my ear. A faint shiver ran down my spine, leaving goose bumps on my skin and I started to blush.
“I love you” I kissed him softly once again.
“I love you too” he said against my lips, holding my hands.
