i'm which, after meeting at a party,
she finds it hard to break old habits,
leaving him unsatisfied but wanting
more

15 / 08 / 21 - 29 / 10 / 21 . . ᥫ᭡
Adalyn spent the afternoon cleaning her apartment before heading the store to buy food the dinner. And despite Valentina telling her to let Jack know she wanted to do some for his birthday, she still didn't.
So after the whole day being consumed with activities, she finally sat down to call him. She hesitated for a second and took a deep breath as she clicked the call button and setting it on speaker.
"Hello?" Jack answered the call.
"Could you come over?" Adalyn responded as she picked at her lips.
"Oh so you do tonight.. Have you just forgotten how fucking rude you were to me last night? And how you literally said I don't want to come over, go home.."
"Jack, what's your problem?" she furrowed at the phone. "I'm just trying to do something nice for you since it's your birthday tomorrow and you're just being a dick."
"I'm not going to lie, I'm just sick of whatever this is between us.."
"well there goes my plans for tonight," she mumbled.
"No, I'll come over, but-" he let out a small almost inaudible sigh. "When, like now?"
"Yeah if that works for you," she agreed, a little happier since all that effort she's put in all day hasn't gone to waste.
"I'll see you soon.."
"See you soon.." she matched his tone.
As the phone hang up Adalyn let out a sigh, sort of from relief but then again there's also the feeling of guilt that has kept building up inside of her everyday since the events. And the more she tries to burying it the more she ends up thinking about it.
But she thought just maybe, doing something nice for Jack and bringing back how they were in the beginning after they met, would help her forget all that happened with the other boy.
"Hey," Adalyn gave Jack as small hug and receiving a hey back from him after she had let him into her apartment. "How are you?"
"I'm good," he responded as he placed his keys down on the kitchen counter.
She grabbed his hand as she lead him into the living room, showing him what she had done with the place, and turning around to face him as he looked around then at her.
"aw this is cute," he loosely wrapped his arms around her waist. "I honestly didn't think you even knew my birthday," he added with a small laugh.
"It's wasn't hard to find it out," she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I know it's tomorrow but I didn't want to take up whatever plans you already have."
"you're cute,"he smiled as he leaned in and kissed her. She let it go on for a few second before pulling away.
"I've gotta-" she pointed down the hall. "yeah.."
"I'll just wait here then," he awkwardly responded as the both unwrapped their arms from each other.
She headed down the hallway to the bathroom in her room while he took a seat on the lounge, he pulling his phone out of his pocket and going on it as he waited for her.
There was definitely some tension between the two. Of course, they still had feelings for each other but it no where near as how they were only a few months ago.
They both had this gut feeling as though they were slowly drifting away for each other and just didn't know how to save their relationship, even if it's never been official.
"Sorry, I just had the go to the bathroom," she partly lied as she sat down beside him. "I um.. I've organised something dinner, but um I wanted to leave the rest up to you."
"mh," Jack slowly nodded. "um I know you don't like to talk but.. can I ask why you acted that way last night and now have done all this?"
"I- I just wanted this to be a surprise and I just didn't know how to tell you.." she mumbled. "Anyway.."
He watched Adalyn as she got up and headed over to the kitchen, unsure on if he should be following her or not. "Did you need help?"
"no thanks, it's fine," she responded.
She lent against the kitchen island, back facing Jack as she took a deep breath to relax herself, before checking the food in the oven, despite only just putting it in just before Jack had arrived.
"Are we okay?" his voice was low as he asked while she walked back over to him. "Like us..? Because this feels awkward."
"I don't know, maybe it's because we fight like every time we're together and like I just don't know," he continued. "Like am I going to be walking out of here tonight mad at you or..?"
She sat there picking at her lips as she looked at the things on the little middle table, avoiding eye contact with him.
"I want something genuine with someone Adalyn and what we have isn't really what I want... I mean we can do whatever tonight, but I need you to show me that you want me as more than whatever we are now," he explained.
"mhm okay," she mumbled, glancing over at him quickly then back to where her eyes were glue to before.
"I've said you have one more chance so many time to other people. But I this time I'm saying it to you and I actually mean it.. I'm giving you one more chance."
"okay.."
