seventeen

all night, i could barely sleep. jack is upset with me. we had our first argument as a couple between us and i don't know how to feel about it. i'm new to this whole relationship thing!

the last thing that i want is to lose him after i just got him. i'm sure he'll brush it off and forgive me today. but knowing jack, he's stubborn and will put up a fight. i'll just have to apologize sincerely to him.

trying to push aside our little argument from last night, i stroll into the bathroom where jack is brushing his teeth. i wrap my arms around his midsection and kiss his shoulder blade.

"morning." i mumble against his tan skin.

his body is warm and i nuzzle my cheek into his back. i have never held him like this until now. i should do it more often. i like it.

he sighs, "good morning, baby."

my heart rate starts picking up. he called me baby. i guess he isn't mad at me after all. after washing out the toothpaste from his mouth, he turns to face me. i look up at in curiosity.

i don't want to ask him about last night so i change the subject. hopefully that strays his mind from it. there is no need for another fight this early in the morning.

"are we doing anything today?"

he shakes his head, "considering you can't leave this house, i don't think so."

"oh. are you staying over again?" i question.

he shakes his head again, "i might just head home for tonight."

"okay, i'll come with."

why do i sound so clingy? clingy is the last thing i want to be, but i also don't want him to leave.

"no, it's fine, naomi." he says.

my eyebrows knit together. is he being distant because of what i said last night? i just blurted it because i was irritated by his behavior. if anything, i should be the one being distant because he was texting ciara.

or i feel like he's tired of me now because he's had his way with me. sex wise and is now bored, waiting to move onto the next. i can't be this clingy right now. we haven't even finalized our relationship label.

but i shouldn't be jumping into conclusions.

"alright." i murmur, shutting the door after he exits.

i lock the door, needing to use the bathroom and brush my teeth, but i quickly hear his voice again through the door.

"wait, did you just lock the door?" jack knocks and i turn on the sink. "baby, why did you lock it?"

"because i need privacy." i snap, rinsing my face.

"since when?" his tone resembles accusation.

"since forever." i respond.

did it ever occur to him that sometimes a girl needs bathroom time alone.

"was it because of what i said?"

now he's the one making assumptions. i'm just a tad annoyed from that. he doesn't want me to tag along with him. i'm a little offended, but try to play it off casually.

"no. why would you think that?" i raise an eyebrow even though he clearly cannot see me.

"you can come with me if you want. i didn't mean to upset you by saying no. it's just that i have things to do today."
