Double Take.
Chapter Thirty - One
Jack
Tonight was the last night of tour and it was conveniently in Baltimore. To my knowledge Alex had no idea that I was picking him up early so we could have a date day before he watched me play on stage. I wasn't entirely sure what to do for a date but I would come up with something. I was currently in a taxi from the venue to my apartment.
I arrived and paid the driver, a huge smile breaking out on my face. I walked into the apartment complex and climbed the stairs, two at a time. I unlocked my door and slipped into the apartment. I heard Alex singing from inside the shower as I sat on the floor outside the bathroom door. I wanted to surprise him so I was going to. I heard the water cut off and some rumbling around and the door open.
"Holy shit Jack, you scared the fuck outta me. I thought I was going to see you tonight," he smiled.
I looked up at him and he was only covered by a towel. I stood up and engulfed him in a hug, I had missed him even though I hadn't been gone for too long. I kissed him quickly, putting my hands on his barely covered hips. He smiled into the kiss, making it a tiny bit awkward.
"I missed you too Jack," he smiled.
"I love you so much," I whispered, pressing my lips into his damp hair.
"I love you too babe," he smiled.
"Go get dressed babe, I'm takin you out."
He smiled and ran to the bedroom, as quick as he could. I watched as he hurried towards our room. I couldn't help but smile, why did he take me back? He came out moments later and my jaw practically dropped. He looked hot.
His long legs were covered by tight American flag skinny jeans. His torso was wrapped in a black Blink 182 shirt and combat boots graced his feet. He pulled a beanie over his slightly damp hair. I wanted to have my way with him right there and then.
"Do I look okay," he asked.
"You look sexy," I purred.
A blush took over his cheeks as I kissed him softly. He pulled away and grabbed my hand, I took that to mean that he really wanted to go. I smiled at him and brought him to a lake. I thought about the box in my pocket, would cheesy go ever well? There was one thing I had been wanting to do since he took me back and it may have been soon but he was the one.
"What are we doing here," he asked as we got out of my truck.
"I don't know, I thought you'd enjoy canoeing," I smiled.
"I've never been before."
I rolled my eyes and pulled his hand to rent a canoe. I gave him a few quick instructions and we got out to the middle of the lake. I pulled my oar into the boat, him doing the same. I smiled at him and moved more towards the middle, trying to be careful to not capsize. Even with that dorky life jacket he was the most adorable thing I've ever seen. I sighed and looked at him.
"You know, I've been thinking a lot about our relationship," I said suddenly.
"What do you mean," he questioned softly.
"I just don't like where it is exactly. I know that it's all good and dandy but I think it could be better, I think it could be different. I don't want to think about life without you. I'm not proposing to you, not yet at least. I just want you to proudly say that you're mine and no one elses. I want you to wear this as proof so no one will try to steal you away. I know it looks like an engagement ring but it isn't yet, that'll be so much more beautiful."
I pulled out of my pocket the box which held as close to a promise ring as I could find for him. So many emotions flashed through his eyes, I know it sounded like I was going to breakup with him for a moment and I probably should've thought about my wording first but as long as he said yes I didn't care.
"You scared the shit out of me Jack," he said as he took the ring, sliding it onto his slim fingers.
Somehow I had guessed the right size for it when I bought it. He grabbed my life jacket pulling me in for a passionate kiss. It spoke only of love. I wanted to one day replace that promise ring with an engagement ring and one day I would. I couldn't help but smile at the boy who was willing to put up with my crap. There was something about me that he must've seen to be positive.
"Let's get to shore, I have to go see the most amazing guy I know in concert soon and I know he has sound check," Alex said softly.
"Who is this guy," I joked.
"Brian, duh."
"Sorry bud, he's into chicks."
"Well that's fine cause I'm only into you."

Notes
A promise ring guys!!! I would've updated sooner but between birthday stuff for my mom and I and college stuff I'm finally sitting down (in something that isn't a car). I tried to make the update really cute to make up for it.
