Chapter 26
Morgan
Yeah. I’m obsessed with Jack.
So what?
Okay, stop blushing. Put your phone away.
Or read our texts one more time.
Me: *picture of myself in yellow yoga pants and a sports bra.*
Jack Killborne: *skull emojis*
Jack Killborne: no bra *prayer hands*
Me: Ur bad! I cant!
Me: Send me a sexy pic?
Jack Killborne: whats sexy to church girl?
I bite my bottom lip and type.
Me: No shirt.
I wait, excited.
Jack Killborne: *selfie in front of bathroom mirror, wearing jeansand shirtless.*
The picture should make me burn for his body. The plane of his tattooed chest is so defined. Those biceps. Those abs. The way his jeans hang low on his hips. His cut lines that lead down to what I yearn for every night I lay in bed.
But it’s that handsome face I can’t stop staring at. His beautiful eyes are tired, and his smirk forced, but I love it. I know how much Jack struggles, but he never complains. I wish he could be here now. My life is just as busy, but it would be easier for him. I have more help.
Me: I miss you SOOOOOO BAD
He starts and stops texting several times.
I hold my breath the whole time, watching the chat bubble move. Finally, a message appears.
Jack Killborne: I miss you 2
I hold the phone to my chest.
Okay, I am beyond obsessed. I love him. Love, love, love him.
Those walls have been down for a few days. We haven’t seen each other, but he isn’t going quiet either.
Maybe that means I can be as clingy as I want without fear of him pulling away. It seems counterintuitive. After sleeping with him, I did something risky and bought him a gift. Hopefully, he means what he says, because if he ends this...
I shudder at the thought.
“Pay attention,” says Daddy as we stand backstage. He snaps his fingers, annoyed. “Have you approached Blake?”
I sigh loudly and slip my phone into my pocket. “I just met him, Dad.”
“Then get to know him. A date is a good start.”
