Title: 11:11 by Waterparks

"Lex, baby, wake up." Jack gently shakes my shoulders. "Lex. You have to get up so we can prepare for court."

I wake up and stare at him. He's leaning over me, shaking me gently. He smiles and leans down, kissing my nose. "We have to-" He's cut off by his phone ringing. He sighs and kisses my nose again. "I'll be right back." He grabs his phone and walks out the door. 

I sit up and grab my phone.

Rian: Are you ready for court?

Lisa: Hey, Alex. Just wondering how you're holding up- with court and all that.

Awsten: I'm not sure I'm ready for court, so I was wondering how you were felieing 

Awsten: *feeling

I laugh at Awsten's inability to type. 

Jack walks back in. He sets his phone down before sitting next to me. He grabs my hand and takes a breath. "He admitted to everything."

"What?" I give him a look.

"Kenneth admitted to what he did to you, and we don't need to go to court anymore. He has to serve 15 years."

I gasp and hug him. I hold his tightly and bury my face into his shoulder. "Oh thank god," I mumble.

He rubs my back. "We should tell your friends," he says. We pull away. He pulls me onto his lap while he pulls up the group chat. His free arm wraps around me as I cuddle against him.

He sends the text before tossing the phone aside and holding me with both arms. "I'm glad you don't have to face him again."

"Me too," I whisper. He kisses my neck. "So... About the date."

He laughs and pecks my nose. "I'm thinking we go out for lunch," he says. "I know a place."

"Oh really?" I give him a look. He laughs and nods. "What place?"

He shrugs. "I can't tell you." He winks. "But you'll find out," he says. He kisses my cheek and gently pushes me down onto my back. He lays next to me and smiles. 

I move forward and hold him, laying my head on his chest. "Why can't you just tell me?" I give him another look.

He sighs. "Don't give me puppy eyes, Lex," he whines. I smile innocently. He groans. "Lex, don't do this to me!" 

I sit up and stare down at him. "You still won't tell me?" I ask, smiling. He nods. I move to straddle him and leans down close. "You sure?" He nods again. I kiss him softly. 

"Lex, what do you think you're doing?" He asks slowly. 

I shrug and give him an innocent look. He blinks. "I can't tell you," I say. He groans and watches as I kiss down to his chest. 

"Do you think you can top?" He asks, a smirk on his lips. "Oh, I'd like to see you try."

I stop. "What? You think I can't?"

He laughs. "I know you can't." He leans up and kisses me. "But if you want to, go ahead."

I move back so I'm sitting on his lower torso. "Nevermind," I say softly. I slowly run my hand up his shirt. He watches me. I smile as I start tickling him.

"ALEX-" He shouts, laughing. "STOP- THIS IS TORTURE." He wiggles around. He grabs my wrists and stops me. He pulls me down and holds me against him. I turn my head so my ear is against his chest. He kisses the top of my head. 

"Can you tell me now?" I ask softly.

"Nope," he says and pats my back. 

~~~

We walk back to my place so I can change. I open the door. 

"Alex," my mom says and hugs me. "I got the call. Are you alright?" She asks. "I thought we'd have to go to court, but then you weren't here-"

"Mom, I'm okay. Are you okay?" 

She nods. "I'm fine. I'm just glad, I guess. I wasn't sure if you were going to be okay seeing him again."

I pull away and glance at Jack. "Jack and I are meeting some people for lunch," I say quickly.

He steps towards me and shakes my mom's hand. "I'll take care of him."

"Sounds like you two are dating, jeez," she laughs. "But have fun, boys!" She walks away.

Jack and I rush upstairs. I shut the door and give him a look. 

"So we're not telling her about us?" He asks slowly. "It's fine, it's just- I'm sure she'd be supportive."

"I know," I sigh and sit down. He scoots over to me. "I guess there's just too much. And I don't want to tell her yet."

"That's fine," he says and wraps his arms around me. "Are you okay?"

I nod and pull away. "I need to change, remember?" I stand up and walk to the closet. He walks over to me and wraps his arms around my waist. He rests his chin on my shoulder as I grab a shirt.

He kisses my neck before pulling away. I turn and he smiles at me. "Oh, whoop." He covers his eyes. He turns around.

"Jack, you don't have to do that," I say and pull my hoodie off. He turns and gasps. He quickly averts his eyes. "Jacky, seriously. Don't be so scared like that."

He looks up and smiles. "You're so beautiful." I smile. He steps toward me and lets out a breath. "God," he mumbles. I grab his hand and bring it against my chest. 

"Always seems like I see you without a shirt on, but it never goes the other way," I say softly. His thumb traces over my skin. He leans down and kisses my collarbone. 

I pull away and put my shirt on. He moves over and lays on the bed. "You got a text from the group," he says. "They're wondering if you're alright."

"Tell them I'm fine," I say and change my pants, putting on black skinny jeans. I walk over to him and sit down on the bed. 

He sits up and wraps his arms around me. "You wanna go now?" He asks softly, kissing the back of my neck.

I nod. "I'm going crazy trying to figure out where you're taking me."

"It's nothing super fancy or anything," he says. "But sure, let's go."

We stand up and walk out. My mom smiles over at us. "Have fun boys. Don't be out too late!"

"Thanks mom!" I shout as we walk out the door. Jack opens the passenger seat door for me. "Wow, I feel like a princess."

He laughs and waits until I'm in the car before closing the door. He rushes to the driver's side before getting in. "Alright, you ready?" He asks, closing the door and starting the car.

"Mhm," I hum softly. I feel his hand on my leg as he pulls out of the driveway. I smile at his hand and rest mine on his. 

He smiles, while still keeping his eyes on the road. I feel him grip my hand softly. 

~~~

We walk into a nice little restaurant. The waiter brings us to a table and hands us menus before giving us a few minutes to look through it.

"This place is nice. Where'd you find it?" I ask, putting the menu down.

Jack smiles. "Uh, my friend told me about it. Zack, I mean," he says. The waiter walks over and we order.

Once he leaves, Jack smiles at me again. He reaches over the table and grabs my hand. He grips my hand. 

The waiter brings over the food and sets it down. "Once you're done, just go up to the front. If you need anything else, people will be walking around. You can call one over, or use the bell," he gestures to a small silver bell. "Please enjoy!" he says and walks away.

Jack smiles and grabs a fry. He presses it against my closed lips. "Open your mouth Lex, I wanna feed you," he says and pokes it against my lips. I roll my eyes and open my mouth. He feeds me the fry and grins. "You're so cute."

I feel my cheeks go hot. "No, I'm not."

He scoffs. "If you're not cute, then cute doesn't exist," he says. "You freaking adorable."

We finish eating and we walk to the front. He goes to pay when I grab his arm. "I'll pay for my-"

"No," he says and hands the lady the money. I sigh and he grabs my hand, the two of us walk out. 

"I could have paid half of it," I mumble. He laughs as we walk to the car. "Jack, seriously, you didn't have to do that."

"Except I did," he says and wraps his arms around my waist. He kisses my lips. "Just because I wanted to."

I step back, pulling him with me. My back hits against the car. He kisses my neck and hums against it.

I groan and wrap my arms around his neck. "J-" I mumble. "Jack-"

He smiles and pecks my jaw before moving away. "Let's get you home," he says. He brings me over to the passenger side. He opens the door and lets me in. 

He goes to the driver's side. "Do you wanna go somewhere?" He asks. I shrug. He gives me a look and starts the car. 

"Where are we going?" I ask.

He pats my thigh. "I can't tell you." 

I sigh and grab his hand. "You suck," I mumble. 

"I could," he says and turns. I groan. "If you want."

"I dare you to try," I mutter under my breath. 

He stops the car. "Hold up-" he says and glances at me.

"Where are we, Jack?" I ask, looking out. 

He smiles. "Ice cream." He winks and walks out. I go to open the door when he opens it for me. I thank him and he holds my hand as we walk into the ice cream shop. 

I glance over and see Tay and Jenna. "Jacky, look," I whisper, nudging his shoulder. He glances over and smiles.

Tay leans over the table and kisses Jenna.

"Apparently everyone's going on a date today," he whispers. I laugh and we walk to the cashier. "What do you want?" He asks.

"Vanilla," I say, smiling. He nods and talks to the guy. 

Jenna taps Tay's hand and juts over to me. Tay waves. I smile and wave back to her. 

"Jack, let me pay," I whisper. He shakes his head and hands the guy the cash. "Jacky-"

"Shh," he says and grabs the two cones. He hands me one and we walk to a table. "I'm never gonna let you pay for anything," he says.

"Jack, no-" I let out a laugh. "That's just silly."

He shrugs. "Well, I'm going to try and make sure you never have to pay- as long as we're on a date."

I facepalm. "You're so weird." I lick the ice cream. 

He watches me and smiles. "So cute."

"Hey, Alex, Jack," Jenna says. I look up and see her with Tay. "I see you two are... Celebrating?" Jenna asks.

"Not really celebrating. We're just on a date," I say. Jack nods. 

"Ah, well Jen and I are also on a date. We should double date sometime," Tay says. Jenna and I share a look. She laughs. "What?" Tay asks.

"We talked about it a few days ago," Jenna says. "Anyway, we have to go, we'll see you two tomorrow," she says and wraps her arm around Tay's waist. The two walk away.

Jack smiles at me as I lick the ice cream again. "What?" I ask, starting to feel slightly self-conscious.

"Nothing. You're just so pretty."

"Boys aren't supposed to be pretty."

"Says who?"

I nod. "Good point. "But I'm not pretty."

He rolls his eyes. "Says who?" He repeats.

"People at school. My dad-"

"None of those people matter," he says and grabs my hand. "They don't deserve an opinion. They don't know shit about shit."

"Shit about shit, huh?" I raise an eyebrow. He grins widely. 

We finish our ice cream cones and leave the place. We walk hand-in-hand to the car.

~~~

He stops the car at his place. "So did you like it?" He asks. "That date, I mean."

I smile and crawl over the seat and straddle him. He stops and stares into my eyes. "Does this answer your question?" I ask and kiss his lips. 

He wraps his arms tightly around my waist and kisses back. "Not particularly," he mumbles softly. 

I give him a look before kissing him again. He leans forward and a blaring honk screeches out.

I scream out in panic. His face goes shocked before pulling me forward. "Car horn," he says softly. "Damn your heart is racing."

"That was scary," I mutter. "And loud."

"Oh poor baby," he says softly. "Let's go inside," he suggests. I nod and he opens the door. I crawl out first before he follows.

He shuts the door and picks me up, bridal style. "Jacky-"

"Shh," he says and walks up to the door. He opens it and brings us in. He walks up the stairs and lays me down on the bed. He's about to move away when I grab his hand. "Lex-" he gasps as he loses his balance and falls on top of me.

"Oh damn," I mumble. He laughs and kisses me. I close my eyes as he kisses under my jaw before sucking on the skin.

I let out a moan and he smiles but doesn't stop.

His hand moves up my shirt when my eyes fly open. My heart starts racing. No. He deserves this. 

But he stops. I notice his boner pressing against my leg. But he stops.

"Alex, you don't want this," he says softly.

I shake my head. "No, Jack, I-"

"Lex, shhh, it's okay," he says and rolls off me.

"But- you want it. And after all you've done for me today- these past few weeks- you deserve-"

"Alex, stop it," he says. I press my lips together and sit up. "I don't care if I've spent money on you. I don't care that I punched a guy for you. I did that because I want you to be happy. I don't need you to do this. Sex isn't that important to me- not anymore at least."

"Jack-"

"No," he says and cups my cheek in his hand. "I care about you. I don't want you to be uncomfortable. I don't want you to feel like you have to do something like this. I just want to be with you."

I lean against his hand and close my eyes. A stray tear escapes my eyes and rolls down my cheek. He sighs softly and hugs me. 

"You mean so much to me, Alex. And whenever you're ready. And I mean truly ready. I'll be here," he whispers. 

"Thank you," I mumble, pressing my face against his shoulder. He sighs and kisses my head. 

"But uh, I gotta take care of a little issue," he says and moves off the bed. I blink as he stands up. 

"Wait," I say, and get off the bed. He turns and gives me a confused look. I grab his hands and peck his nose before dropping to my knees.

(TW// smut warning ahah)

"Alex-"

I palm him through his jeans, and he lets out a groan. "Lex-" He gasps. I roll his pants down and kiss him through his underwear. "Have you ever done this?" He asks softly. 

I shake my head. "Nope," I say and pull his underwear down. "Guess I'll try everything I can come up with."

He lets out a shaky laugh. "You're the most upfront virgin I've ever- oh god-" He moans as I lick up his dick. I smile and stand up. "Lex, you-" I start jerking him off and he gasps. "For a virgin, you're very confident."

"No, my heart is beating out of my chest," I say and move down. I bring him inside my mouth and swirl my tongue around. I use my hands for whatever I couldn't get in my mouth. 

"Lex-" he gasps. "I'm going to-" 

I move forward and gag slightly. He grips my hair, another moan escaping his lips. "Lex-"

I hum and he releases into my mouth. I swallow before standing up again. He gives me a look. "Are you sure you've never done that before?" He asks. I nod. "Well damn," he says and pecks my lips.
