Eyes Tell the Story
Ch.8: 21
Jack's POV:
I wake up in a daze, I let out a yawn and grab my phone that I left on the floor before falling asleep. I look at the date and my eyes go wide.
Its been one week since I met Amilia. Which means today is her birthday. I run to Alex's bunk, which happens to be across from mine where Amilia was sleeping so I had to be quiet. I kick into the curtain of his bunk and my foot hits him. He groans, "Alex get up," I whisper.
"Fuck off Jack, its to early," I hear him mumble. "Just get the fuck up, okay?" I walk back to the main part of the bus and five minutes later Alex walks out. He glares at me through his tired eyes. "What is it then, it better be important." "Its Amilia's birthday. She's 21." "Oh yeah. It is. Shit, she even told me on her first day here and I forgot." "I know, she told me the first night. Fuck, I don't have anything planned." "We can think of something."

Amilia walks out and I go up to her with a smile, "happy birthday." "You remembered!," she hugs me tightly. I hug her back and kiss her head as a friendly gesture. "Come on, breakfast is ready."
I walk her out and all the guys were standing there, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY WOOO!!," VInny yells and light sparklers. "VINNY NOT IN HERE!!," Matt snaps. Amilia laughs and smiles big, "thanks guys!" "Anything for you Amilia," Alex speaks up and hugs her tightly.
We sit down and eat, since there wasn't a lot of room with all of us in here at once, some of the guys had to sit on the floor and Amilia was sitting on my right leg. I was sitting on the couch by the table. "Who made the french toast?" "I did," Matt raises his hand. "Its awesome." "Glad you like it."
"I'm taking you out today, so hurry up and get ready," I tickle her side and she laughs. I chuckle and tickle her more. "Jack stop!!," she says through laughs. "Jacky stop!! I'm really AH!!," she screams when I tickled a certain spot. "What, you sensitive there?" "....No." I grin at her and her eyes go wide.
She runs off my lap, "don't let her escape!," I laugh. Alex stands in front of her and I grab her from behind. "Jack!," she squeals. I chuckle and hold her close, her back to me. "Don't you dare." "Tickle monster about to attack." "No!!!" I lift her up and carry her back to the couch. I hold her down as I tickled her, "JACKY STOP!"
I don't know where she got Jacky, but I liked it when she called me that. I laugh to and lean down more, her face inches from mine. She stops laughing and stares up at me shyly. I look in her eyes and there was something different about them. I leaned down a little more when I realize that we weren't alone.
I get up off her, "uh. You should get ready." She gets off the couch and goes to the back to her clothes. When she goes in the bathroom and we hear the water running thats when the guys spoke up.
"Jack, is there something you should tell us." "What do you mean?" "You like her, we can tell." "No. I don't. I'm only helping her. And she's my friend." "So you don't feel anything for her." "No." Alex just smiles at me, "not the way we see it."

She walks out of the bathroom, her hair was dried and hung in small waves. She was weaing one of the first outfits she picked out. I smile at her and she walks up to me, "do you like it?" I look over her again and couldn't help but stare. She looked great.
"Yeah, I do. Come on lets go."
________________________________________________________________________________________
I took her to Dave & Busters, the mall, are lunch at Panera, and then took her to the park. I decided I was gonna treat her more tonight with something special.
We go back to the bus, she let out a yawn. "Today was really fun Jack." While she was trying clothes on, I snuck out and bought her a present. "The day isn't over yet, we still have more to do." "We do?" "Yeah, first we're going to meet up with the guys inside the venue. Their doing a quick rehearsal."
She nods and we walk out. We go inside the venue and go to the main area. I quickly cover her eyes, "Jack," she laughs. "What are you doing." "You'll see."
I walk her into the main area where the stage is and un cover her eyes. On stage was a blanket set up with food. "Jack, you-" "Don't say anything, I wanted to give you the best birthday ever."
I grab her and walk over to the stage. I jump on first and then I help her up. We sit down on the blanket and she looks around. "Did you think of this?" "Yeah, you told me you always wanted to stand on stage with me, so now we are."
We sat there for a while, just talking. She opened up more, I was seeing that light more then before. She told me she loves listening to her iPod because its the one time she feels sane. The more we talked, the more I wanted to know about her.
Finally we got hungry and decided to eat. After we ate I got up and grabbed my acoustic guitar. "Which is your favorite song in general?" "Lost In Stereo." "In general?" "Yeah, I love it." I smile at her and sit across from her.
I start playing and singing the first line. Her eyes lit up and watch me, her bottom lip hung a bit.
After I was done I put the guitar down and she hugs me tightly. "I love it when you sing," she mumbles. "I love your voice. I actually wished you did more solo." "What do you love about it?" "Its..I'm not saying.." I grin, "what?" She mumbles something, "what did you say," i grin more and tickle her sensitive spot.
She squeals and moves around. I laugh and hold her close, wrapping my arms around her. "Now tell me what you think of my voice or I'll tickle you again." "Please don't." I start to tickle that area, "fine I'll tell you! Its... I find it... it hot..." "Hot as in?" She turns really red, "rough and sexy," she mumbles.
She's never said the word sexy before. She finds my voice rough and sexy. I look over her and everything about her right now in my lap with my arms wrapped around her...
No. Jack stop.
________________________________________________________________________________________
I decided to give her her own bunk, I kinda want mine back. I pull back the curtain to one of the middle bunks, that was above mine and she gasps. "Do you like it?" She screams and hug sme tightly, "HOW DID YOU KNOW!!!"
I got her a Spirited Away bed spread, it wasn't easy to find but she's worth it. "Jack I love it," she chokes back. She climbs into her bunk and snuggles right into the blanket. "Thank you Jack!!" I smile at her, "check that compartment," I point at.
She sits up and opens it. She pulls out a small black box and opens it. She stares at in shock, "Jack." I grab the box from her and take the gold heart shaped locket out. I put it on her, "Open it." She opens it and see's two pictures of us."
She starts crying but she has a smile. She jumps down and hugs me tightly, "I can't thank you enough Jack." She looks up at me and I wipe her tears, there was still that light in her eyes. Its been there all day.
I slowly leaned down, I felt her shudder breath on my lips. I snapped back to reality and went up to kiss her forhead. "Anything for you Amilia," I speak softly.
________________________________________________________________________________________
I lay in my bunk and let out a deep sigh. I almost kissed her. Twice. In one day. What the fuck is wrong with me.
Jack you can't date her, your helping her.
Maybe dating her will help her fully.
The annoying voice in the back of my head said. Shut up, I can't date her.
You like her, and I'm only going to keep bugging you until you kiss her.
I wake up in a daze, I let out a yawn and grab my phone that I left on the floor before falling asleep. I look at the date and my eyes go wide.
