Finding The One ✦ Jack Gilinsky

•Ava's POV•

When we got to Ash's place we got in the pool for a night swim. Then once we all showered we all went upstairs to watch a movie in the game room.

It took a while to agree on a movie but we ended up watching Ted 2 we were all in the mood for a comedy.

The guys ended up staying over, while they went to sleep at 11, Jack and I stayed awake, talking, actually getting to get to know each other.

Jack & I were on the couch & we were facing each other.

"We're you born in Dallas?" Jack asked.

"Yeah, I've lived here my whole life,"

"That's cool!"

"It gets boring! I want to move somewhere out of Texas, possibly travel the world, that would be amazing," I smiled.

"You should! It's an amazing experience to travel around the world, but trust me you will get homesick." He laughed.

"Yeah I'm pretty sure I would get homesick," I shrugged, "as bad as I want to leave I know I would miss Dallas, like crazy," I laughed.

"Yeah I know when Jack & I left Omaha we were so homesick, we still miss it every once in a while," Jack said.

"Yeah, I know for sure that will be me," I laughed.

"When's your birthday Ave's?"

"March 16! Just thinking of it makes me want to cringe, I'm going to be turning 20 in only a few months! So old!" I made this funny face.

"I know! I just turned 19 a few months ago! Thinking about turning 20 makes me feel so fucking old!" He laughed.

"I know! Like I feel like just yesterday I was just starting high school!" I laughed.

"Gosh so you're older than me by a few months," he scratched the back of his neck.

"Yeah, I'm always older than the guys I meet, which I hate," I rolled my eyes.

"It's just a few months, not that bad!" He punched my shoulder.

"Ouch!" I nearly yelled.

"Oh my gosh, did I hit you that hard? I'm so sorry!" He came closer to me & rubbed my shoulder.

I started laughing, "I'm kidding Jack, I can take a punch! I grew up with 3 older brothers!"

"You scared me!" He turned bright red.

"I'm really okay, it's good to know you care though," I smiled.

"Well yeah! I don't want to hurt you," he put his hand over mine.

"You didn't hurt me don't worry." I thought it was so cute that he was so concerned.

"Good, so you have 3 older brothers?" He asked.

"Yeah 3 brothers."

"Aww you're the baby in the family," he pinched my cheeks, "what's their names & how old are they?" He asked.

"I'm not a baby!" I laughed, "but their names are Dylan, Caleb, & Brayden. Dylan is 26, Caleb is 24, & Brayden is 21."
