“And the last stop…” I throw my arms in front of me, showing him the beach.

Jack grabs my hand and heads towards the beach. I slip my shoes off as best as I can with Jack tugging at me and he does the same. We walk to the sand and shuffle our feet in its softness. After a few minutes of walking in silence, Jack plops down on the sand and pulls me down with him. We sit side by side, not saying a word but listening to the sounds of the waves crash against the shore.

I took him just about everywhere today. I took him to the Boardwalk, Pier’s and Beachfront Water Parks, The Historical museum, Dragon Lair’s Mini Golf, Bobby Dee’s Arcade, and an Adventure Maze. Now, as the sun sets, we sit on Wildwood Beach, staring at the horizon.

“Today was awesome.” Jack chuckles throwing an arm around me.

“What was your favorite part?” I ask.

He thinks for a moment before responding. “Dragon Lair’s Mini Golf. Remember? When I beat your ass.”

I laugh and poke him in the side. “Fuck off Barakat. Don’t forget how I beat you at the majority of the arcade games.”

“Fair enough.” He laughs.

The sun slowly disappears behind the ocean’s horizon and leaves the sky beautifully colored. Orange, pink, and red streak the sky creatively. Jack lets out a satisfied sigh and rests his head on my shoulder.

“Let’s go back to your place.” He looks up at me with big brown eyes.

I laugh and help him up. We dust the sand off of us and walk slowly back to my car.

“Can I drive?” He puppy-eyes me.

“Fuck no.” I crack up. “You are lucky to be sitting in this car.”

He pouts sarcastically as he climbs into the passenger seat. I hop into the drivers seat and tear out of the parking lot. Jack blasts unfamiliar music from his phone and I listen closely, enjoying it.

Something’s telling me to leave but I won’t,
‘Cause I’m damned if I do ya, damned if I don’t.

“Who is this?” I yell over the radio.

“Oh just a little band known as All Time Low. You know, the one I’m in.” He grins devilishly.

I roll my eyes and grin, mentally ignoring him. We drive and blast his band the entire time. After about 6 or 7 songs, we finally pull up to my house. Jack scoops me up and carries me upstairs to my master bathroom.

“I take it you want to shower?” I ask as he sets me down.

“Nope.” He grins. Jack waltz’s over to the jet tub and starts to fill it with water.

Catching on, I reach under the sink and grab chocolate scented bubbles and pour them into the bath. I bend over to adjust the heat and Jack slips his hands in the back pockets of my jeans and squeezes lightly. I stand up and lean my back against his chest as he brings his lips to my neck. I turn around and stand on my tippy toes, covering his soft lips with my own. I slip his shirt off and he returns the favor by doing the same to mine. We strip ourselves of our remaining clothing and climb in the tub. I press the silver button on the side of the tub, sending jets pulsing.

“Fuck this is nice.” Jack groans as he leans back against the tub. He pulls me onto his lap and anchors me to his stomach with his arms. “We don’t get this kind of tub action on the tour.”

I giggle and rest my head against his shoulder. “I’m glad I can help. You know, the guys are more than welcome to use the spare rooms next time you come up here.”

“Well we get off tour in a week. Maybe I’ll come back with Alex or something next weekend.” Jack kisses the side of my head. “Thanks for the offer.”

“Jack we need to talk.” I murmur.

“What’s up?” He asks.

“Honestly, I just want to make it clear that I don’t want a relationship. I just got out of one and really just want to have fun. We can still hookup and whatnot, I just don’t want you getting the wrong impression.” I admit. “I’m sorry.”

Jack flips me around so now I am straddling his lap. He flicks my nipples aimlessly. “So, let me get this straight. You want to hang out, have a good time, hook up, but not have a label on this?” I nod. “Don’t you realize you are every guys dream right now?” He laughs and splashes me lightly.

I laugh with him, realizing he’s right. “Okay, okay fine. I just wanted to be clear.”

Jack nods and spreads bubbles all over the front of my body. “That’s completely fine with me. I’ve never wanted a relationship. Fuck buddies are way more fun.” He winks.

“Could you not call me that?” I groan. “So degrading. Friends with benefit is nicer.”

“Fine. Friend with benefit.” He rolls his eyes and pulls me in for a kiss.

I grin against his kiss and slip my hands under the water, wrapping one of them around his dick. His lips immediately part and his tongue slides gently into my mouth. Jack’s hands encircle my ass and squeeze lightly causing me to moan in his mouth. Slowly, I pump my hand under water rubbing my thumb over the tip of his dick. He grabs my hand, pulls it away, and pulls both of mine behind my back tightly.

“Take it easy. We have all night.” He groans in my ear.

That we do.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Wake up.”

My eyes flutter open and try to find something to focus on in my dark room. I feel around my bed and come in contact with Jack’s hairy chest. I smile softly and curl up next to him.

“As much as I would love to get my cuddle on, I have to go.” He murmurs.

“What time is it?” I yawn.

“4 A.M. I told you yesterday, the bus leaves at 5. I can call myself a cab but I wanted to be able to say goodbye.” Jack sighs. “This has been fun.”

“Fuck the cab, I’ll drive you.” I sit up slowly and let my long hair cascade over my naked body. “And yeah, it has been. I kinda wish it didn’t have to end.”

“Sounds emotional. Don’t tell me your falling for me.” I can hear the smirk in his voice.

“Only in your dreams.” I roll my eyes and crawl out of bed.

He chuckles and I turn on one of my bedstand lights. We both groan at the sudden light, but adjust quickly. I walk over to my closet and wince in pain.

“I’m so soreeeee.” I call back to the room where Jack is.

“Sorry.” He laughs.

“No you aren’t, don’t even lie!” I whine.

“You are quite flexible. Were you a gymnast or something? You were letting me push your legs around like they were nothing.” Jack pads into the closet with me.

I turn to face him. “No, actually I’m not flexible. But when you told me ‘I’m going to make you my bitch’ I let you. See that’s the beauty of friends with benefits, you can be as dirty and mean to me as you want, and not have to worry about hurting my feelings.” I wink.

“This is going to be fucking awesome.” He throws his head back in satisfaction.

I giggle and look back to my closet. I grab a pair of black leggings, a white v-neck, my combat boots and dress in them quickly. Jack has already slipped on his clothes and is waiting patiently for me. I decide to throw my hair into a quick, messy bun so I don’t keep him waiting.

I turn to Jack who is sitting on the floor against the wall, staring at me with a small smile.

“Yes?” I ask grinning.

“You’re kinda really beautiful.” He shrugs.

“Sounds emotional. Are you falling for me?” I mock him with exaggerated shock.

“Fuck you.” Jack rolls his eyes, still smiling.

“We don’t have time for that silly. Let’s go.” I pull him up off of the floor and immediately he wraps his arms around me and pulls me into a hug.

“Thanks. For all of this. You really didn’t have to take me anywhere, or let me sleep here, but you did. And that means a lot to me. Friends with benefit.” He squeezes my ass while still hugging me and directs us out of the closet.

We quickly make our way to my car and I grab my purse on the way out. Within minutes, we are on the road back to where the tour bus is. Jack has control of the radio and settled on Fall Out Boy’s, From Under the Cork Tree, album. It plays at low volume, considering it’s still 4 A.M and we are exhausted. He has his hand resting lightly on my thigh and head thrown back against the seat.

“I’m actually glad you took me. I want the guys to see your car.” Jack grins sheepishly.

“Are you using me for my car?” I joke.

“No, just sex.” He winks.

I bust out laughing and nod. “Touché.”

We pull up after a few minutes, just as Jack’s phone rings.

“Hello? Yeah Alex I’m okay…I’m right outside the bus actually, but thank you smartass…Yeah come meet me out here. Bring the guys, I want to show you something.”

He hangs up and all of a sudden the bus door swings open and three, too energetic guys come bounding off of it.

“HOLY SHIT!” Alex cries.

Zach and Rian stand, staring at my car with their jaws dropped. I giggle as Jack and I exit the car. Alex comes running up to me and throws his arms around me.

“I don’t care if this is a rental, or your own car, but you are officially my girlfriend and we will take this car the rest of tour. Bye faggots!” Alex yells at the guys and tries to jump in my drivers seat. I lock it just as he sets his fingers on the door handle.

“Nice try Alex. Even Jack isn’t allowed to drive it. No one is.” I smile. “Nothing personal.”

“That’s the name of our album.” Jack laughs while walking up to me. “Look at that, you’re already being such a good groupie.”

I playfully smack him on the arm and roll my eyes. He slides his arms around my waist from behind and kisses the side of my head.

“Are you two a thing?” Alex asks cautiously. “Because I don’t want to have to deal with emotional depressed Jack as he bitches about how much he misses you.”

“No.” I laugh. “Just hooking up.”

“Ah, the old friends with benefits.” Alex nods slowly. “I’m never any good at that. I get so emotionally attached.”

“Alex, you aren’t good at friends with benefits because no one wants to just sleep with you. They all want to marry you.” Rian laughs.

We all laugh at Alex who rolls his eyes.

“Can you guys give us a sec?” Jack asks them.

They nod and I give each of them a hug, wishing them good luck on tour. They make their way onto the bus leaving Jack and I outside in the dark. He pulls me in for a hug and leaves his arms wrapped around my waist. My arms hang onto his neck loosely and we stare at each other for a second.

“I’ll be back in a few days. That is, if you are still okay with me coming back.” Jack says cautiously.

“How can we be friends with benefits if you don’t come benefit me?” I retort. “Of course it’s okay. I’ll be waiting. And as for hooking up with people while we are apart…”

“I’m totally fine with it so long as you are.”


I nod in agreement and kiss him gently on the lips. We stand there kissing for a few seconds before parting. I unlock my car and Jack opens the door for me. As I climb into the seat, Jack digs around for his phone.

“I almost forgot to get your number. You won’t give mine out or anything, right?” He asks.

“Of course not.” I smile.

I give him my number and he promises to text me whenever he gets the chance. We share one last kiss before I watch him climb onto the tour bus. I honk my car horn as a last goodbye and tear out of the parking lot. The one thing I love about my car is the speed. Holy shit is it beautiful.

I speed back to my house in silence, already getting used to not having Jack there. Before I know it, I’m upstairs approaching my bed. I strip all of my clothes off and curl under the comforter happily. I inhale deeply, realizing my bed smells just like Jack. A little part of me misses him, but I know I just miss his company. This big house can be so lonely when it’s just me living here.

I close my eyes and think back to when this house used to be full of love, family, and lies…
