Forget About It {Jalex Fanfic}

Chapter 8

Jack POV:

I was awoken about an hour later by Alex as he silently crawled into bed with me. He was quiet but his movements were not light.

"Jack are you awake?" I could almost feel the anger radiating through him that he expressed with a deep scowl on his beautiful features.

"I'm up," I whispered groggily. I could barely see him in the dark.

"Good," he replied bluntly, moving closer to me under the covers. His body pressed against mine and he wrapped an arm around me. I didn't hesitate to do the same. "Oh, you're warm," he mumbled.

"What's going on?" I asked into his hair.

Alex sighed, "She came home and woke me up and told me I needed to get out of the bedroom so she could sleep."

"Really? What the hell? Why couldn't she just sleep in the same bed as you, or sleep on the couch herself?" She was so petty sometimes it made me want to projectile vomit.

He shrugged, "Don't know."

"Sorry she's like that."

I could feel his lips tug into a small smile against my chest, "Ah, 's okay. You're warmer and you're a better cuddler anyways."

I felt my cheeks heat up, it was a good thing it was dark in here.

"She's like cuddling with a piece of wood or a rock or something."

I chuckled, "Jeez."

"I know right," he mumbled. "G'night Jack."

"Night," I whispered back. Soon sleep took over and I was out, just like Alex.

---

In the morning I woke up but I didn't open my eyes because I wasn't ready. Alex was still asleep, cuddled up in my arms. I savored the moment internally, it was a sweet one.

Then I got this weird feeling, like someone was watching me. Alex was still softly breathing into my shirt so I knew it wasn't him. Only one person left.

I opened my eyes but by the time I looked in the right direction she'd left. The door was open a crack so I knew it was her.

Well, that was really fucking creepy. Nothing like being stared at by someone who hates you while you sleep with their boyfriend snuggled up against you. I wasn't exactly sure what to do after that. I felt weird about it.

I ultimately decided she was sort of a bitch and I was going to enjoy cuddling with Alex even more because of that, not that that was the only reason.

I fell back asleep hoping that she didn't decide to come back and murder me. I wasn't sure how long I was asleep for but Alex was still where I left him and the room was a bit brighter the next time I woke up.

As soon as I started to stir, he did too and he also started whining about something. I couldn't understand what he was saying because it was all coming out in a bunch of mumbles and groans.

"What?"

"I said, it's too motherfucking early to get out of motherfucking bed. So lay back down... motherfucker," he repeated in a more understandable way.

I reached for my phone and turned it on, "It's like half pass noon. I think it's an appropriate time to get out of the motherfucking bed."

He laughed and rolled over away from me. I went after him, pressing my front to his back and wrapping my arms around him. He relaxed back into me, "I don't wanna get up, J."

I chuckled at the nickname, "Neither do I."

"Let's do something today," Alex suggested, eyes still closed.

I dared to place small kissed on his jaw and neck as I mumbled, "Like what?"

To my surprise he bent his head over so I'd have better access, "We could... go outside."

I busted out laughing. Outside? He couldn't be serious!

He was, "Yeah!" He sat up suddenly, "We could go to the lake or to the park or something! After that we could eat and go see that movie you've been wanting to see!"

My interest peaked, I'd do anything with him but I did really want to see that movie, "Really?"

He nodded, "Yes! It's a date!"

"Is it now?"

Alex's eyes went wide momentarily but he recovered and hopped out of bed, "Mhm, sure. Now get up. We're having fun today."

"How do you have so much energy all of the sudden?" I groaned, putting my face into one of the pillows, "You were crying about it being too early thirty seconds ago."

He shrugged, "I'm excited, J! Come on." I felt him crawl on top of my back and bring his lips to my ear. "It's gonna be fun. Let's go to the lake. You remember the lake, yeah?"

Oh yeah, I remembered the lake.

"How could I forget?"

He laughed lightly above me, "Exactly. Let's go there."

"You really want to?" I asked, turning so I was on my back and he was straddling me.

"Really really."

"Promise we'll go see the movie too?"

He rolled his eyes and smiled, "Yes, we'll watch the movie too."

"Yes!" I yelled unnecessarily loud.

Alex laughed and climbed off of me once again, "Right, okay. I'm going to go get dressed and stuff." He planted a quick kiss on my cheek and as soon as he was upright again he was gone.

I blushed in the privacy of my now empty room. I shook my head and mumbled something about snapping out of it. It was only a kiss on the cheek.

I wasn't sure what to wear so I just threw on some black skinnies and a random band shirt. Simple enough.

I noticed that Alex was wearing something similar when I met him down stairs a few minutes later. He wore his American flag skinnies that he loved and a sleeveless black shirt that showed off his arms quite nicely. He was one attractive boy.

He shook his head and smiled when he caught me staring but to that I smirked. Yes, I was checking him out and yes, I enjoyed it. Big deal.
