"babe?" you called. you were laying on the couch on your phone scrolling through instagram.
"yeah?" your boyfriend, jack, asked coming into the living room from the kitchen. he was washing the dishes from the dinner that you made.
"i wanna go shopping," you said. you put your phone down and sat up, looking at jack.
"okay." he chuckled. "wanna go to the mall?"
"yeah." you smiled. jack smiled and sat next to you on the couch, wrapping his arms around you and kissing all over your face.
"i love you," he said.
"i love you." you smiled and grabbed his face, kissing his lips.
"grab your shoes, let's go." he stood up and went to grab the keys. you were still dressed for the day, so you grabbed your slip on vans and waited for jack.
he came back to the living room and grabbed your hand. you walked out of your shared apartment and down the hallway to the elevator.
you went to the car and jack opened your door. you thanked him and sat down, putting your seat belt on.
the drive was pretty normal. you held hands while listening to music on the radio, jack usually singing. it was peaceful. you loved car rides with jack.
once you got to the mall, jack parked and you both got out of the car. he wrapped his arm around your waist as you both walked inside.
"where to first?" he asked. "victoria's secret?"
"very funny." you playfully bumped your shoulder into him. "let's go to h&m."
jack started talking to you about something that zach had done at rehearsals the other day that made everyone laugh. you smiled and laughed, your heart warming up from how happy jack was.
you were glad that even with rehearsals and having to record in the studio, jack still made time to see you. tour coming up was a scary thing, every time he left the state you worried about him constantly and you missed him. but jack promised he'd talk to you everyday, and he kept his promises.
you walked into the store and began looking around. you often let jack buy things for you since he honestly had better style than you, but you'd never tell him that.
"are you gonna model these for me?" he asked as you walked to the dressing rooms.
"yeah, sure." he smiled and waited outside of the curtain for you.
you changed into the first shirt that you and jack had picked out, then opened the curtain.
"what do you think?" you asked, doing a few dramatic poses.
"i like it." he smiled. "you're adorable."
he grabbed your waist and pulled you into him, pecking your lips. you smiled and pulled away going back into the dressing room.
you changed into shorts and a crop top, then opened the curtain. you stood in front of jack and did a little turn, laughing at yourself.
"those are a little too short," jack said, biting his lip.
"you like them."
"i do..." he smirked. "but so will other guys."
"then you better show them that i'm not available because i like these and i'm buying them." you patted jack's cheek before going back into the dressing room.
you tried on a few more items, deciding to put some of them back, then went to the cashier to pay for them. jack tried to pay for it, like he always does, but you wouldn't let him.
"you gonna be okay while i'm gone? you'll have enough money?" he asked as you walked to the next store.
"i have a job jack. a good job," you told him.
"i know, but you have school too and i don't want you over working yourself."
you were taking classes at he community college, just focusing on your basics until you decide what you want to do with your life. but you also had a really good paying job.
"thank you baby, but i can take care of myself." you kissed his cheek.
you and jack spent about two hours in the mall. by the time you left, you both had bags you were carrying. you stopped for a drink at one of the kiosks on your way out.
"see wasn't that fun?" you asked. jack had started to complain after about an hour of being there, but you dragged him around some more anyway.
"the only fun part was watching you model your outfits for me," he said kind of quietly. you chuckled and looked up at him. he smiled at you.
"and the part where you got to buy new clothes. i know you love shopping."
"you're right, i had fun." he chuckled. "but i'm read to go home and sleep."
"me too."
you put your bags into the backseat of jack's car and got in.
"thank you for taking me baby," you said, cupping his cheek with your hand.
"of course love." he smiled. you leaned in and pressed your lips on his. he kissed your lips, then kissed your nose and your cheeks before kissing your lips longer.
jack wasn't big on pda, but when you were alone he loved kissing all over your face.
"i love you beautiful," he whispered.
"i love you." you smiled.
he started the car and you turned the radio on. jack held your hand as he drive back to your apartment.
once you got home, you put all your bags in your room and quickly showered before climbing into bed with jack.
"i don't think i'll be able to sleep when i'm gone. you're too comfy," jack said, holding you close to his chest. your legs were intertwined and your face was in his neck.
"i'm sorry baby. maybe i'll get you a bear to sleep with while you're gone. and you can do the same for me because i won't be able to sleep either."
"okay. but we have to get them soon so they smell like us. deal?" he asked.
"deal." he turned his face down and softly kissed your lips. you held his face there, not wanting to pull away from his lips.
"goodnight gorgeous."
"goodnight love."
