Barakat, Jack Barakat

“Are you ready yet?” Jack called up the stairs.
“Nearly. I’m just not used to everything yet, so I don’t know where my stuff is” she laughed as she heard Jack sigh from the bottom of the stairs.
“You’ve been here 2 weeks and you still don’t know where anything is?”
“Well, yeah. I haven’t exactly had time to memorise things. I’ve been working” she laughed while hopping around the room trying to pull on her super tight skinny jeans. It was date night. The only time Amy had managed to get off since they got back from Florida, so Jack was taking her out for the evening. She pulled on a pair of high heeled boot over her jeans, applied some lipstick and checked herself in the mirror. She fluffed up her new hair, which was now half dark brown, half blonde, and approved of her look. She quickly grabbed her handbag and jacket, making her way down the stairs to a very bored looking Jack.
“Liven up!” she grinned while smacking him on the butt.
“Hey! It’s me who gets to do that to you” he pouted.
“Just get in the car” she laughed, pushing him out of the apartment.

“Are you okay?” he asked Amy, worried.
“Yeah, I’m fine. Why wouldn’t I be?” she replied, an uneasy tone to her voice.
“Because that’s the fifth time you’ve turned around for no reason”
“What? No I haven’t…” she looked down at the remains of her desert, poking at it with her spoon.
“Amy” he said sternly, her head lifting upwards to meet his gaze.
“What’s up?” he asked.
“I just… It’s stupid, never mind”
“Amy, just tell me”
“I just feel like someone is watching me” Jack chuckled slightly.
“See! I knew you’d think I was stupid” she looked down again.
“No no, I’m just laughing because I thought it was going to be something more serious, but listen love, there’s no one here. Well, no one here we know. You’re just imagining things” he offered her a warm smile, putting her at ease. Her shoulders visibly relaxed, and she let out a sigh.
“You’re right” she smiled.
“I should just focus on the amazing night I’m having. Thank you” she grinned at him.
“Don’t thank me, you deserve it” he leaned across, taking hold of her hand.
“Now let’s get out of here and go for a walk” he smiled, pulling her up from her seat.

“You’ve got to be kidding me, it’s freezing!” she laughed as Jack was removing his clothes.
“Come on, it’ll be fun” he pulled off his pants so he was now standing in his underwear.
“Jack, we could get into a lot of trouble” Amy looked around, uneasy.
“Don’t be silly, it’s late and no one’s around. Now strip” he laughed. Amy just shook her head and began to undress herself so she was stood only in her underwear. She immediately clung to her stomach, freezing. Jack, without a care in the world, ran and dived straight into the lake. He resurfaced, shaking his hair out of his face as it stuck to his forehead.
“Come on!” he held his arms up as if he was ready to catch her.
“You’re crazy” she shook her head laughing.
“Come on, don’t leave me here on my own” he smiled at her.
“If I freeze to death, I’m going to haunt you for the rest of your life” she pointed at him. Amy decided to brave it and ran straight at the water, jumping in and immediately shrieking at how cold the water was.
“OH MY GOD” she squealed as she resurfaced. She looked around to find Jack and he was nowhere to be seen. She let out a loud scream as something grabbed her ankle, behind her Jack made his way to the surface, laughing as he met her. She immediately smacked his arm.
“I will kill you one day”
“You love me too much to do that” he stuck out his tongue.
“That is too true” she laughed, wrapping her arms around his neck as he pulled her closer by the waist. He leant down and kissed her, and even though they were currently in a freezing cold lake, she somehow felt warmer when he kissed her. She pulled away and started laughing.
“What’s so funny?”
“Just this” she patted his arms.
“It just reminds me of that one scene in Dirty Dancing” she laughed. He then started laughing at the thought of him attempting to lift her in the water.
“Don’t think I’m lifting you” he laughed.
“I wouldn’t expect you to, especially after the food I’ve just ate. Got a food baby growing in here” she patted her stomach. He just simply laughed.
“Come on, I think we should head home before we get hypothermia” he started to swim, pulling her with him.

“Thank you for tonight” Amy was cuddled in bed, head on Jack’s chest. Her favourite place.
“I told you, you deserve it” he smiled even though she couldn’t see him. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, leaning down to kiss the top of her head. He was happy again, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
“Goodnight” she whispered.
“I love you” he whispered before drifting off to sleep.
