I'm back :)
And I'm FINALLY done with exams and school in general. I hope you're not too mad that I was gone for so long.
Also I applied this story for #wattys2019 !! I can't wait to see who the winners are this year:)
This chapter will be more of a "Jack and Emmy" one, so enjoy!
***
I get woken up by the bed, which is moving. God, what is Jack doing now?
"Emmy, wake up!" I rub my eyes and blink at Jack, who's jumping on the bed. Smiling at him, I shake my head and drag the covers over my head. The jumping stops and he gets off of the bed.
He laughs, "remember, you wanted this." I quickly drag the cover off of my head but it's too late. Jack is already in the air, landing right on me. I let out some sort of groan and he starts rolling on me like a dog.
"Stop it!" I laugh, hitting him playfully.
"I know you like it," he smirks and I slap him once more. "Get off me... you... roach!" I say the first thing that pops up in my mind.
Really Emma? A roach? Can you be any dumber, really? Like how is that even an insult? Dumbass.
Jack stops and looks at me, all red, "did you just call me... a roach?" He bursts into laughter. Tears are rolling down his cheeks. "Shut up. It's way too early for me to be mean to you," I exhale and laugh at him.
He stops laughing when someone knocks on the door. He gets up, expecting the same person as I do - Luke.
Luckily, it's some other guy that Jack knows, I guess? "Can you be quiet? It's still early," the guy groans. Jack smiles and apologizes.
He closes the door and walks up to me, "go get ready." I lift my eyebrow and look at him weirdly. Just as I was about to speak, he interrupts me, "don't ask any questions. Just do it." I groan and get up, dragging my butt to the bathroom. I've stayed here so many times, that Jack bought me my own toothbrush.
When I'm done getting ready, I get out of the bathroom and see Jack trying on my bra.
"Wha-" "aaaah!" He quickly throws it on the bed. He flushes and I laugh at him, "what were you even trying to do?"
"I wanted to see if it would fit me," he smirks, "so I can be even more sexy for you," he laughs and I roll my eyes at him.
He's sexy enough already - I think to myself. I shouldn't think such thoughts but I can't help myself.
I look at his beautifully sculpted abs and almost drool all over myself. The things I'd do to- "Emmy! Snap out of it. I know I'm hot but we don't have time for this," Jack waves his arm at me and I look away, blushing. "I didn't-" I start defending myself but he laughs at me, "whatever you say, babe."

My stomach does a backflip and I cough.
Shit. Keep it together Emma!
"Wait. Why are you coming at me for? You're the one wearing a bra!" I continue to defend myself and he smirks, "so you're not wearing one?" My lips part, wanting to say something but I close them. Rolling my eyes, I exhale and sit on the bed. "You're unbelievable," I murmur to myself.
"I'm unbelievably attractive, actually," he answers, grinning. This guy is so full of himself, I swear. He is adorable though. You can't deny that.
I look at him while he runs around the room, looking for a shirt. His muscles are so mesmerising and- wait.
"Why did you put my bra in your closet?"
"I didn't!" He says, closing it slowly.
I chuckle, shaking my head. "Let's go," Jack grabs my hand and drags me out the door. I stumble behind him, trying to keep up. "Where are we even going?" I ask Jack but get no response. Gosh, it's so frustrating - being ignored. I try asking again and this time he murmurs something, but his pace quickens.
When we get to his car he tells me to get in and I do what I'm told. "Jack I'm gonna ask you one last time... where are we going?"
He exhales and whines, "oh my God Emmy! Can you let me be mysterious?! Just like the hot guys in books and movies," he exclaims and I laugh, nodding my head.
Some time later, we arrive to... "a fair?" I chuckle as Jack proudly nods his head. "This is where you'll be spending your day, away from everything and everyone. You need it," he says and I hug him. He's so thoughtful. I love my best friend so so much.
We start walking around, looking at all the stands and games, where you can win big, fluffy teddy bears. There's a little rollercoaster, a bigger one and the biggest one. There's also a big ferris wheel. Next to the ferris wheel, stands a red and white tent, where circus acts happen. Of course, there's a drop tower, I'm not sure I'll be going on, but we'll see.
"Where shall we start?" Jack asks me and grabs my hand. "Let's start at the rollercoaster," I point at it and pull Jack behind me.
Why did I choose the rollercoaster? Well it's a really small one. Practically, we're the only people over the age of 12 going on it. And I'm still scared shitless. Jack is trying to look tough but I know he's trying not to pee his pants.
"Ooh you're so scared," he mocks me. I slap him playfully and he chuckles. "You're acting like you're not," I say to him and he shuts up, crossing his hands on his chest, while still holding mine. So that's uncomfortable.

A few seconds pass...
"I'm not scared!" Jack answers, after a whole minute. I chuckle, "sure you're not," I mumble to myself. "Hey! I heard that!" He says, holding my hand tighter now, as we get closer to the rollercoaster.
It's finally our turn after waiting in line for 10 minutes. I'm shaking. I know it looks like I hate rollercoasters, but I really like them. The first time is always scary and then I start liking it more and more. It's weird, I know.
We get on the rollercoaster, both scared. It slowly starts moving up and Jack is already screaming. "Oh my God, shut up," I laugh and grab his hand.
He gives me a I'm-just-messing-with-you look, but still holds my hand. I slowly start panicking and he laughs at me. He quickly stops when he sees the drop. It's not that much of a drop, but hey, it seemed scary then.
The rollercoaster stops right before the drop and hangs there. "Oh fuUUUCK" Jack screams when the coaster drops. I scream too, but start laughing at the end, while Jack is all shaken up. I put my hands in the air and enjoy the wind blowing on this hot day.
"You okay?" I chuckle, grabbing Jack's shoulder. He coughs and puts on the fakest smile I have ever seen, "of course. It was fun," he says in a deep voice and I smile, rolling my eyes.
Guys and their pride.
Am I right or am I right?
"So where are we going now?" He changes the subject. "Ooh! Can we go there?" He says before I could answer, pointing to a stand with teddy bears. You have to shoot a ball into a really small hoop, to win a bear. They're almost as big as me! And they look so fluffy.
Jack then drags me to the stand.
"Hello! Would you like to try getting a teddy bear for your girlfriend right there? 5 dollars for three balls," the man behind the stand says to Jack.
Jack pulls out 5 bucks and hands them to the man. The man gives him 3 balls and Jack tries to get them into the hoop. Strangely, he makes it. He chooses a brown, fluffy teddy bear. As the man tries to give me a teddy bear, Jack stops him.
"It's for me. She can get it herself," he says coldly and the man looks at him, confused.
"I-I'm sorry-" "I'm messing with you!" Jack laughs and the man joins him. "Of course it's for Emmy," he smiles at me and I hug him tightly. I back up and he looks at me, smiling cheek to cheek. I plant a kiss on his cheek and the smile on his lips grows wider.
The man gives me the teddy bear, "he really does love you. Keep him," he whispers into my ear and my face paints red. The old man laughs it off, "goodbye lovebirds. Have fun!"
I walk back to Jack. "What did he say to make you go all red?" He draws his eyebrows together.
"No-" "oh my god! Do you have a grandpa fetish?!" He exclaims a bit too loudly.
"Oh my God, no! Shut up," I cover his mouth with my hand. He licks it.
"You're disgusting," I wipe my hand in his shirt. "You're disgusting," he mocks me and I exhale loudly. He's so annoying but funny at the same time. And I don't mind it, honestly.
"Do you wanna go anywhere else?" Jack asks me. "You probably don't, since you have to carry the giant teddy bear around now. You're welcome," he grins.
"So this was your plan all along, huh?" I tease him. "You're too scared to go anywhere else, so you won the bear for me, so we can't go anywhere now," I say and he bites his lip.
"How did you know?" He says sarcastically and I laugh. To help me walk, Jack carries the teddy. He's adorable with the bear. Honestly, I'd be happy if I got that for Christmas.
Chill, Emma.
We get into the car and I turn towards Jack, "so what are we gonna do for the rest of the day? It's only 5pm." I really want to do something with him. Or just be with him today. I haven't had so much fun in a while.
"Who said that the day was over?" He smirks and turns on the car. We drive for a while, until we get to a restaurant.
"I'm guessing you're hungry?" He flashes me a smile and I nod, smiling back.
He. Is. So. Sweet.
I wonder what Luke's doing. I haven't checked my phone in a while. While looking for it, I hope there aren't 50 missed calls from Luke, who's worse than my mom. I finally find it and slowly check the notifications.
Shit.
Double shit.
***
Ahh I apologise for not posting, again. I do promise constant updates now that summer break is here.
Do you think Emma should call Luke back, or enjoy dinner with Jack?
