This was so cute 🥰🥰
House Call
Series Masterlist
Synopsis: Zoey gets sick and Jack comes to Miami to take care of her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Everything hurt and she was dying.
Ok…that may be a little dramatic but Zoey couldn’t remember what it felt like to not wake up with a skull crushing headache and a smoker’s cough so…things weren’t looking great. But the real icing on the cake was telling Jack that she couldn’t make it to Louisville this week because of her untimely illness. The universe gave her the most stable relationship of her entire life and took away her ability to breathe through her nose. He giveth and He taketh away. Life is all about balance.
At least that’s what she was telling herself while maintaining a steady diet of lemon tea with lots of honey and cool berry cough drops. She was on day two of waking up with all the bones in her body aching, feeling more sore than she did last month when her best friend dragged her to a pilates workout in a sauna which was by far the worst 30 minutes of her life. This was a very close second.
She was woken up from her second nap of the day by footsteps that sounded eerily like they were coming from her kitchen but that must’ve been the DayQuil playing tricks on her. The footsteps continued moving about, placing bags down on the counter and opening things like her cabinet and the fridge. Zoey must have been dreaming because she swore that she saw Jack walking into her room before this intense wave of exhaustion took over.
Jack on the other hand had been worried for the last week. Exactly seven days ago his girlfriend had been sniffling on the phone while they had been discussing her Louisville trip. Then two days later when he called her and her voice sounded off and scratchy, he knew something was up. But when she canceled her trip? He knew he had to do something. The fact that she was feeling sick enough to not be able to travel to come see him was all he needed to get on the plane and get to her as soon as possible. As soon as he landed he got into his rental, grabbed the essentials and headed over to her apartment complex. All of the lights were off inside and the only sign of life in the place was the cup of orange juice in the sink and a thermometer on the counter. When all of the stuff he brought with him was put away, he headed into her room to check on his patient.
Zoey woke up feeling a little worse than before, a coughing fit jolted her out of her less than comfortable sleep. A curly haired figure rushed in soon after, placing a hand on her sweatshirt covered back, rubbing large soothing circles onto it. He handed her the freshly warmed cup of tea in his other hand which she greatly accepted, taking careful sips.
“You okay? Do you need me to grab you anything?” Jack eyes, his eyes full of concern with a hand still on her back. Maybe he was rubbing it more for his own comfort now than hers.
She laughs, leaning her head on his shoulder. “What are you going here? I thought I saw you before I went to sleep but I swore I was dreaming…or in heaven.”
“Well I’m more of a handsome devil than an angel I think, but I’ll take either one.” He says with a giggle, placing a kiss on her forehead, humming sadly at the warm feeling of her feverish skin. “Come on. We’re gonna get you in a lukewarm bath so you can relax.”
In all of her relationships she was used to being the caregiver, the one to drop everything anytime her partner ever needed it. And now to be on the receiving end of the care was new and kind of made her want to cry. Or maybe that was the Vicks VapoRub that he’d lathered onto her chest and neck.
After the bath, Jack helped her dry her hair and carried her back to bed even though she told him repeatedly she could walk. “You changed the sheets. And they’re warm. Aw Jackman, you’re the best boyfriend ever.”
“I do what I can.” He beams. “You stay right there I made you some food so I’ll bring your food in here and we can watch Ugly Betty.”
“I love you.” She whispers, her body melting into the bed. Harper hopped on to the bed as soon as Jack was out of sight, purring happily at the warm sheets and blankets.
About half an episode in, he came back with a bowl of chicken noodle soup, blue Gatorade and fresh bread from True Loaf Bakery. He set the platter on the bedside table and fluffed her pillows for her after helping her sit up then gently placed the tray in her lab while eyeing the cat seated firmly at her side. Zoey patted the spot next to her on the bed, welcoming him to join.
“Nah,” he shook his head, crossing his arms like he was preparing a temper tantrum. “I’m not sitting with her in the bed. She’s always spreading out her little body so that I’m practically scooting off the bed. I know she does that shit on purpose cause she’s jealous.”
Zoey looks down at the cat sleeping peacefully next to her and laughs, putting her spoon back in the bowl. “You guys both need to be nicer to each other,” she pats the cat on the head and gives them both a stern look. “Please don’t make me choose between the two of you because if I do…Jack you’re outta here.”
“Wait forreal?” He gasps. “You’re—you’re not being serious are you?” Jack sits on the bed, on the other side of the cat and gives his girlfriend his best puppy dog eyes. “Actually you know what, don’t answer that.”
She nods and finishes her food, cuddling into Jack’s side while the show continues to play. “Thank you for coming to take care of me. You really didn’t have to do all of this but I’m glad you did.”
“You know I’d do anything for you, my sicky baby.” He laughs, placing a short kiss on her cheek. “You feeling any better?”
With a yawn, she nods slowly, her eyes feeling a bit heavy. “Much better already. Probably because I have the best doctor in the entire world at my disposal, I didn’t even know you made house calls Dr. Harlow.”
“Only for you Zo. My favorite patient,” Jack runs a hand across her forehead and is pleased that she’s a lot less warm than she was when he arrived. “You should get some sleep baby, I’ll be right here when you wake up.”
“You promise?” She asks, the cold medicine and sleep were starting to take over.
“I’m not going anywhere…ever. I promise.”

This feels like someone ripped my heart out and stomped on it, and then, put it back in like nothing happened. Absolutely loved this tho!❤️😍
Living life for the both of us
Warnings: Death.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jack woke up and looked at the empty side next to him in bed, the side that usually belonged to her. Her aura made everything warm and bright, but now he was in the cold dark room by himself. It was usually like this for him. He woke up, mostly because of a nightmare. but sometimes, when he was really lucky, she would appear in his dream and the moment he woke up he wanted nothing more than to fall back asleep, just to get one more glimpse of her.
He threw the covers away from him, and sat up in bed, rubbing his eyes. He got up and shuffled to the bathroom.
Lucy was lying in her dog bed next to the foot of his bed, She looked at him before lying her head back down, deciding she wanted to sleep a little longer.
He stared into the mirror, the dark circles under his eyes were becoming a familiar sight to see. He sighed before hopping into the shower and turning on the cold water. He let out a hiss as the water hit his body,At least this hit him with another feeling other than the one he was used to - emptiness.
After the shower, he quickly got dressed. Just picking up the first sweater he found and a pair of shorts before walking to the kitchen.
He started the water kettle and opened the cabinet where the tea was. He pulled out the usual teabag and made his tea before walking into his home office.
Walking past multiple frames, filled with beautiful memories. He could still hear the laughter and feel all the love, but the reality was there was only silence. Everything was gone the moment she was gone.
Jack pulled out his journal. The pen that usually laid on top of it was nowhere to be found. He let out a deep sigh, before rummaging through the desk, trying to find the pen.
He leaned back in his chair and brought his hands up to his head, he was now finding the simplest of tasks hard to complete. He took a few seconds to breathe before walking to the other desk where he had more pens. He sat back down, pen in his hand opened a fresh new page, and began to write yet another letter.
“When will I get used to not waking up to you? Will I ever get used to it? How do I get used to a thing I never wanted to get used to in the first place? I’m afraid of forgetting how your voice sounds. I’m afraid of forgetting the little noise you made when something frustrated you. I’m afraid of forgetting the giggles you made whenever you said something funny.”
Jack took a deep breath as he wiped away his tears. Tears that seemed to never stop. He continued writing.
“I’m just so afraid of forgetting all the little things that made you the women I fell in love with. I don’t want to forget you, I don’t want to live this life without you. But I have to keep going, I have to be strong, and I have to live this life, now not only for myself but for you as well. I always find myself thinking about how our life would look like if you’d still be alive. Would we still have the same routines? Or would we have changed them? Maybe we would have started a family? I know how much you looked forward to that, hell even I looked forward to that. Maybe we would have gotten another dog? I know I told you I didn’t even want one, but for you? Oh for you, I would have filled our whole house with whatever dogs you wanted. Lucy is doing good. She misses you. She often comes up to lay on your side of the bed and I’m going to be honest with you, I secretly love it - it makes me feel less alone. And she’s one piece of you that I still have left, so thank you, thank you for begging me at the adoption center to get her.”
Jack got distracted by the phone ringing next to him. He only shot it a glance before typing out the last words of this letter.
I love you always.
He closed the notebook and put the pen on top of it. He brought the end of his shirt up to his face and dried the tears away, letting out a deep sigh in the process. He took a deep breath before calling back.
“Hi son” Maggie’s voice could be heard from the other end of the call
”Hi mom” Jack said, leaning back against the chair. Running his hand through his hair
“You should come by today, I’m making lasagna” she softly said. She knew Jack wasn’t okay and she was trying to be there for him the best way she could.
“I don’t know mom” Jack started to say, but Maggie quickly spoke “Please, we miss you. You shouldn’t be by yourself”
“I’ll come for a little while” he sighed, knowing she wasn’t going to stop begging him to come. And he didn’t have the energy to argue at the moment.
They said their goodbyes and Jack put his phone down, before getting up to get changed. It took every ounce of energy to get out of the house these days, but he knew he had to. He put on his jacket and walked out of the house. He couldn’t keep living like this. He had to live on, for him and for her. He was now determined to live a life she would be proud of.

Love this!!❤️❤️
“We can save water if we take a shower together babe”
You and Jack were lying in bed and had been for a while now. Just cuddling and kissing each other.
"I need to take a shower" you groaned and threw the covers off of your body.
"So you're just gonna leave me?" he pouted
"I'll be quick" you giggled and walked away to the bathroom.
You took off your pajamas and turned on the water before stepping in. You groaned as the water hit your body and relaxed. After a few seconds, you heard Jack walk into the bathroom, and shortly after he joined you in the shower.
"What are you doing" you giggled as his hands came around your waist.
“We can save water if we take a shower together babe,” Jack said, kissing your shoulder.
"Oh okay, so you're doing this for the environment, got it" You turned around in his arms and stood on your tippy toes to kiss him.
"We should think about our planet more," he said with a grin
"mm, love when you talk like that" you giggled before kissing him passionately

One sentence for Jack “I don’t care how late you are. By law, you’re required to give me kisses before you leave. I don’t make the rules”
“Come in!” You announced, listening to the sound of your office door swing open and then close.
Loudly.
You popped your head up from your monitor, laying eyes on your fiancé.
“Jack, if we don’t slam doors in the house, what the hell makes you think it’s okay to slam my office door? And why are you at my job?!”
“Because you didn’t give a kiss before you left.”
You stared at him blankly, silence filling the room.
Before you cut it.
“You barged into my office because I didn’t give you morning kisses? Jack, I was going to be late!”
“I don’t care how late you are. By law, you’re required to give me kisses before you leave. I don’t make the rules.” He spoke, striding over to your desk before making himself comfy in one of your chairs.
That was, after he gave you your favorite drink from your local coffee shop, along side a few of their pastries.
“I thought you might need a pick-me-up, I know how hard you’ve been working on this project. I can see the stress.”
“It’s that bad Jack?” You spoke softly, head in hands.
“Yes baby, that bad. You look worse than I do when I can’t finish a song.”
You knew you were in trouble then.
“I’m so sorry baby. I haven’t been neglecting you, have I?” You stood up from behind your desk, moving to sit in your fiancé’s lap.
“A little bit. But it’s okay, because I’ve booked us a vacation for next week. Already cleared it with your boss, I talked to him before I got here.” You looked down at your fiancé with loving eyes, tears filling to the rim.
“I love you baby, you know that right?”
“I don’t know, sometimes-“ Jack couldn’t finish the sentence before you started hitting him, soft and playfully.
“Okay okay! Yes, I do know baby. You’ve shown me numerous times, being my number one supporter, no matter what. All I want to do is return the favor.”
“And I appreciate that baby, thank you.”
“So… can I get my kisses now?”

Love this kind of angsty fluff🥰🥰

Synopsis: You want to spend more time with your boyfriend, but find that the two of you are drifting apart. It isn't until he almost loses you that he realizes what he has in front of him
Pairing: Jack Harlow x Reader
Requested by: an amazing anon 💕
Jack Harlow Masterlist
Please Do Not Repost My Content Anywhere
It was dark outside when you had woken up from being startled because of Jack moving around your shared bedroom. You had been waiting for him to come home since he had been gone all day, but your eyes began to get heavy around midnight and you knew that you wouldn’t be able to last much longer. You grabbed your phone from the nightstand to look to see what the time it was and it was 3:36 in the morning when Jack had promised you that he would be home no later than 8 PM.
"Babe? Are you just now getting home?" You softly asked as he began to take off his sweatshirt.
"Shit. I didn't mean to wake you up. Things just ran over a little bit." He threw it across the room and it landed in the hamper perfectly while you sat up to plug your phone into the charger.
"A little bit? You were supposed to be back at 8 PM LAST NIGHT. It is now 3 in the morning. Did you eat anything? How much water did you drink today? I don't want you getting headaches like you were before."
"Y/N, I'm not doing this with you right now. I need to go to sleep because I need to leave by 9."
"I… I'm just worried about you. I need you to slow down and take a break once in a while. I planned for us to do something around 5. Do you think you'll be done by then?" You asked as Jack has gotten in the bed to lay down next to you and pulled the comforter over himself.
"What are you worried about me for? I'm fine. Don't I need to keep a roof over your head? So let me do what I need to do since you're always asking me for expensive ass shit."
"Really? I'm worried because my boyfriend is a workaholic and a people pleaser that doesn't know how to say no sometimes and his girlfriend would like to spend more time with him."
"When things slow down, I will. I promise, but I can't let up now."
"What about meeting up with me at 5? Just us for a date."
"I'm not about to tell you yes and then I get busy and not show up because that will cause a whole new issue."
"I just don't get why you’re being so defensive about me wanting to spend time with you. Don't blame it on you being busy because when your second album came out you still made me a priority despite everything going on around you."
All Jack did was sigh and roll his eyes which you quickly caught on to.
"Y/N, I'm only going to get five hours of sleep and arguing with you is cutting into that. Can we just let it go and continue it later?"
"Seriously? And when is later because I never see you."
All Jack did was throw the comforter away from him and hop up out of the bed.
"Baby, where are you going?"
"To the guest room to get some fucking sleep since I'm clearly not going to get it in here."
"I… come on don't be like that. I just…."
"I'll probably be gone by the time you wake up." Jack muttered before making his way out of the bedroom and leaving you upset. 
You waited about an hour or so before going to peek in on Jack who was sound asleep. All you wanted at the very least was for him to sleep next to you and at least hold you, but it seems like nowadays that was asking for too much. You softly walked to the left side of the bed and crawled in next to him and he was startled by the movement.
"Y/N..." Jack started to say but you immediately cut him off.
"Can you at least hold me so I'll sleep better. I didn't come in here to argue. I just want you close to me." 
All he did was raise his left arm and you cuddled closer to him as he wrapped it around you and it almost seemed forced like he didn't want to do it. 
"I love you, Jack." You whispered to him, but all you got were his soft snores in response letting you know that he had fallen back asleep.
You felt your eyes watering and the tears slowly ran down your face and you did your best to even your breathing so that you wouldn't wake him up again.
You just simply wanted your loving boyfriend back who would always spend time with you and never made you feel as if you were a burden.
When you woke up, just as he told you Jack was long gone and you simply let out a sigh. When he left early like that he would usually send you a text message that said good morning and how much he loved you, but you didn't know the last time he did that. You would usually send them and now they went unanswered.
You had some work to do yourself and had been working from home for the past few days. You couldn't quite put your finger on what it was that was bothering you besides the obvious with Jack, but you didn't feel 100%. 
Hoping that a hot shower would help, you hung eucalyptus at the top of it to open you up so that you could breathe better and lost track of time of how long you had been in there. 
Once finished, you got dressed and decided to bring your laptop to the living room in order to watch some movies for some background noise and order some food since you hadn't felt like cooking.
You nibbled at your food all day while you worked and when 5 PM came around of course Jack was nowhere to be found. You had sent a few texts throughout the day to ask how things were going and all he was doing was reading them and not responding, making you grow frustrated.
Around 10 PM, since you still didn't feel well, you made yourself a cup of ginger tea in hopes that would help and made your way upstairs to your room not even bothering to wait for Jack. It was clear that he didn't want to talk to you so you weren't about to force him.
When you woke up it was around 7 in the morning and you had felt worse than you did the night before. Jack wasn't next to you and you heard the shower running so you assumed that he was getting ready to go out and leave you by yourself…. Again.
Once he came out the shower, you couldn't help but to blurt it out.
"Baby, can you please stay home with me today?" You couldn't put your finger on as to why, but you didn't want to be by yourself.
"Y/N…. What is it now? Didn't we already talk about this?" He answered and had an immediate attitude.
"I just don't feel that well and want you to keep me company. It's just for a day.  You can miss one day."
"What don't you get when I say that I have to provide for us? You saying that you don't feel good is just another excuse to try and get me to stay home and start an argument. You look fine to me and I can't believe you would pretend to be sick for me to stay."
"Just say you hate me and go." You muttered and stormed into the bathroom while locking the door behind you.
"Why would you even say that?! I don't hate you!"
You didn't bother responding and simply brushed your teeth and washed your face. You could hear him moving around the bedroom and once you heard his keys, you knew he was getting ready to leave despite your protests. All you could do was sigh and attempt to go on about your day.
By noon, you couldn't focus and no amount of medicine was helping you feel any better so you decided to get dressed and head to the grocery store in the hopes of getting ingredients to make some soup and hopefully you would be able to keep it down. You had gotten to the couch downstairs and were putting on your shoes when you suddenly felt lightheaded. You gave it a few minutes to let it pass before standing up. And once you did, your head immediately hit the floor.
Jack was in the studio and cursed to himself. Nothing had been going right that morning and be felt that it was low key his Karma for blowing you off.
"What's wrong?" Urban asked while seeing his frustration.
"Could you do me a favor and go to my condo to get a sample hard drive that I forgot? I don't want to see Y/N."
"Wait, what? Why? Are you two fighting again? You've been fighting a lot more than usual."
"I just don't want to deal with her right now."
All Urban did was sigh because he hated seeing the two of you at odds. He didn't want to get in the middle of it, so he didn't bother saying anything.
"Be right back."
When Urban walked through the door, he called out to you but when you didn't answer he was confused. Your car was still in the driveway and he could hear the television playing so he wasn't quite sure what was going on.
He walked further into the condo into the living room to discover you on the floor and not moving.
"SHIT! Y/N!" Urban said while rushing over towards you and trying to tap you to wake up.
"Come on, wake up!"
Nothing he was doing was working and he quickly pulled out his phone to dial 911.
"Hello 911, what is the address of your emergency?"
Jack was growing increasingly inpatient and was wondering where Urban was since it had been at least two hours since he left. His condo wasn't that far from the studio and he figures that you had coerced Urban into staying with you and gave him the same sorry excuse of not feeling well that you told him earlier.
It was another 45 minutes before Urban stormed into the studio pissed off and red in the face.
"Do you not know how to answer your fucking phone anymore?!"
"What? You were coming right back anyway. It's been on DND all day. What took you so long?"
"Your girlfriend is what took me so long." Jack immediately rolled his eyes.
"Oh, did she give you that same bullshit ass excuse of her not feeling well?"
"You are such a fucking dumbass. When I got there she was on the floor, passed out! So when she told you that she didn't feel well, she wasn't lying! The paramedics were asking me all these questions that I didn't know the answer to since I didn't even know how long she had been on the floor or if she hit her head!"
"Wait, what?"
"You fucking heard me, your girl is in the hospital and hadn't even woken up when I left because I had to rush to get to your dumbass to tell you since your phone is on DND. The hospital had been trying to call you ever since she got there!"
All Jack did was mutter fuck under his breath and immediately started to feel guilty.
You had been telling the truth the entire time and all you wanted to do for the past few weeks is spend time with him and all he did was ignore you.
"I…."
"Just come on, I'll drive." Urban said and all Jack did was nod his head as a million thoughts were running through his mind.
Urban sped through traffic and made it back to the hospital in record time. Jack barely gave him a chance to stop the car at the entrance before jumping out and trying to get to you as soon as possible.
He immediately ran to the desk to ask the secretary where you were before she gave him directions to your room down the hallway.
Once he reached your room, he saw you sitting up with your head resting in your hand while the other was flipping through channels on television that was in the front of the room.
"Baby?" Jack said as he entered the room and all you did was look at him.
"Um, what happened?" He asked again and all you did was sigh.
"Don't you have somewhere else more important to be?" You asked while turning away from him to look at the TV.
"What? You're important to me, you're my priority."
"You can save the bullshit because I don't want to hear it. You know this is the first day that you called me baby and not by my first name in almost three weeks?"
"I… I'm sorry I was busy, but I'm here now." Jack tried to take your hand, but you quickly pulled it away.
"And you can leave. I don't need you here or want you here, you have to keep a roof over our heads, remember?"
"I know you’re mad at me, pissed is more like it for good reason but I just want you to talk to me."
"Oh, so now you want to talk? When you thought something might have happened to me? You have been acting like I bother you with everything that I say and you wondered why I said that you hated me this morning. I'm being admitted for the night so you'll be able to get your rest without me bothering you. I'll get Urban to pick me up tomorrow so that you can continue to provide for us. Now, you can leave so you can go and do that."
"You haven't even told me what's going on with you! I'm not leaving!"
"Why? So you can pretend to act like you care? I have started not to be able to recognize you anymore and I don't like the person that you're becoming so do me a favor and get out of my sight."
You had been home for a few days and Jack actually ended up staying the night with you in the hospital despite your protests. 
Long story short, you fainted because you were dehydrated and the stress that you had been under didn't help either.
Jack had been walking on eggshells around you since that day and was staying with you at home to make sure you had everything that you needed without having to lift a finger. However, now he was getting on your nerves because he wouldn't let you out of his sight. It sh
"Babe, when's the last time you drank water?"
"2006."
"Y/N! I'm trying to make sure you stay hydrated. I don't want you fainting again."
"I'm fine for the millionth time so you can leave. It's amazing how much free time you have now." You fired back and all he did was sigh.
"I never properly apologized to you and I'm sorry for making you feel like I didn't care about you and you should have never had to beg for me to spend time with you. I just get so wrapped up in my head with work that it's all that I focus on. I promise to do better moving forward and never make you feel that way ever again. I want this and I want us for the long haul."
“I don’t want you to promise me anything, instead show me by your actions.”
“Can I have a kiss to help me get started?” Jack asked while pouting and you immediately rolled your eyes before leaning over to kiss him since he sat next to you. 
“Uhhh I need one more for strength and maybe two more for good luck.”
“I… look now.”
“Please?!”
You obliged while leaning over to kiss him and he quickly pulled you onto his lap.
“I love you and I should never go that long without telling you again.” Jack whispered against your lips.
“I’m going to hold you to that.”

Thiiisss🥰🥰
You really love me, huh?
A/N: Thank you @jackharloww for the request. I wanted to write a little something that was in the “dating stages” of the relationship.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jack had just finished a show, you and him were hurriedly rushed into the car as the weather continued to get worse and worse.
“We have to leave now” Neelam stressed, you both nodding as everyone else was rushed into numerous cars/vans. Neelam usually sat up front with the driver, for your privacy.
“Are you okay?” You turned to Jack who was warming his cold hands up with his breath.
“Baby, you’re cold?” You grabbed his hands and covered them with your own.
“You’re not?” He shivered and you shook your head. You turned on the heating system that the car had specifically for the people in the back seats.
“You did amazing tonight” you gushed and he momentarily shied away from you.
“You say that every time you watch me perform” he smiled.
“If it was a bad show, I’d definitely tell you” you smiled, watching as the rain started to come down even harder.
“I believe you” he nodded, and you noticed you were still covering his hands with yours, pulling away as you were slightly embarrassed.
The car finally started to move and the two of you sat back in your seats, Jack reaching out to hold your hand now.
“Hey, Nee? Neelam?” He said at full volume and when she didn’t reply he knew that she had her AirPods in. You often wondered if she only pretended not to hear.
“It means a lot that you’ve been trying to make it out here for as many shows as possible” Jack confessed. “I know it’s hard with work and everything.”
“It’s been challenging but you’re worth it” You leaned over and kissed him.
He was smiling ear to ear, several different thoughts swirling in his mind. “Do you ever think about the future?”
“The future? In what sense?” You asked, truthfully, you were hoping he meant with one another, but you didn’t want to jump the gun and embarrass yourself by answering this incorrectly.
“With me?” Jack swallowed, he always avoided eye contact when he was feeling shy about what he was asking.
“All the time” you nervously confessed, you only hoped that he couldn’t feel your hands trembling.
“Really?”
“Yes, is that weird?” You giggled, covering your face in embarrassment.
“Not at all, it’s exactly what I wanted to hear.”
You were both quiet, the only sound was the pitter-patter of rain droplets hitting the window, making things a lot less intimidating at the moment.
“I love you y/n, in a way I’ve never loved anyone” he confessed.
“I love you too” you eagerly replied.
“I don’t want to be too much too fast” he confessed.
“You’re never too much for me” You were trying to be comforting but you should’ve known Jack would turn that into a joke.
“I mean, that’s not what you said last night” he winked and smirked at you.
“You can never be serious for too long, can you?” You laughed.
“It physically hurts me” he put his hand up to his chest and rubbed it like he was in pain.
You looked out the window and realized that you were finally outside of the hotel, Jack was going to take his hoodie off to cover the both of you while you ran inside but you stopped him.
“You’ll get sick” You looked at him with concern.
“I don’t think that’s a real thing babe, I don’t think the rain makes you sick.” He thought about it for a moment.
“Either way it’s a small walk inside, I don’t want you to be cold again.”
“You like…. really love me huh?” He teased as he opened the door to get out of the car.
The two of you quickly made your way inside and to your shared room.
Once inside, you both got ready for bed. The conversation you had earlier was replaying in your head, and you didn’t know it but he was feeling the same.
You both got into bed, he lifted his arm and you scooted inside. You rested your head on his chest, just listening to the rhythm of his heartbeat.
“What I was saying earlier is…” he cleared his throat and you turned your head to face him.
“I don’t see my life without you in it” You could tell it was hard for him to say these things.
You sat up, leaning against the headboard and he mimicked you.
“You like…. really love me huh?” You giggled as you repeated the phrase he had said to you earlier.
“I do” he nervously laughed, “I can see myself marrying you someday.”
You froze, unsure if you had really heard it.
Jack looked over at you and smiled, kissing you as he placed his hand under your chin.
“Y/N Harlow? I love the sound of that” you spoke between kisses.
Jack had only been absolutely sure of two things in his life, his career and you.

Can't wait for part 2!🥰
Single Hearts - Part 1 Amusement Park
Summary- While taking her daughter to the amusement park for her birthday, Sage meets Jack for the first time.
Tumblr media
Jack had gotten engaged to his high school sweetheart, Penelope, right out of high school, getting married about a year later. They even had their daughter, Melody Jade Harlow, a year and a half later. Everything was perfect. Ultimately, throughout the stress of Jack’s career, raising their daughter, and just life in general, they decided they were better off as friends. Nothing specific happened they just slowly realized they didn’t love each other as much as they previously did. 
Penelope and Jack were terrific coparents. They both were committed to doing what was best for their daughter and they both wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. Of course, that wasn’t always possible for Jack due to traveling for work, and now that his daughter was seven years old and in school, Penelope and Melody couldn’t just fly out to visit him whenever they wanted. Penelope did it as much as possible so that Jack and Melody could see each other as much as their schedules allowed.
Sage, on the other hand, was parenting her five-year-old daughter, Charlotte Grace Taylor, completely alone. She had also thought she had met the love of her life, and for a short time, she did. Unfortunately, her ex-boyfriend didn’t feel the same way. Ethan cheated on Sage right after they found out she was pregnant. Before Charlotte was born, Ethan decided he wasn’t ready to be a father and left. He hadn’t even met his daughter when she was born, even though Sage told him when she was in labor and when Charlotte was officially born.
Sage had sole custody of Charlotte, Ethan didn’t show up to the hospital, and he never signed the birth certificate, withdrawing his legal rights. Sure, Sage would have preferred her daughter to have an involved father or at the bare minimum, child support, but she would rather Ethan be completely uninvolved than in and out of her daughter's life. 
It was difficult for Sage to raise her daughter on her own, but the support of her friends and family made it easier. 
Sage was taking Charlotte to the local amusement park for the day, a late birthday celebration for Charlotte's fifth birthday. Between the start of the school year and the weather, it had to be pushed a couple of weekends. As a compromise Sage let Charlotte eat a little more candy and sugar than usual, which meant she was practically bouncing off the walls. Charlotte saw the carousel and took off towards it.
Jack, who had also decided to take his daughter to the amusement park the same day, happened to be getting in line for the ride at the same time. Charlotte tried to get in line before Jack and Melody did.
“Charlotte.” Sage called out, quickly following after her daughter. “You have to wait for me.” She reminded her. By the time she approached, even though it had only been a couple of seconds, Jack and Sage were separated by a few groups of people so she couldn’t apologize to him for her daughter trying to run in front of them.
Sage and Charlotte got into line, Sage holding onto her hand before she could even think about trying to run to the front of the line. Luckily for Charlotte, the line was short so it wasn’t long before she was on the ride. 
Jack got Melody comfortable on the ride before stepping behind the gated area to watch. A few spots back, Sage was helping Charlotte fasten herself to the carousel horse. 
“I want to go by myself,” Charlotte said and Sage sighed softly.
“Okay, can you get down by yourself?” Sage asked and Charlotte nodded. “Just let me know if you need help and I’ll come to help you, okay?” Charlotte nodded eagerly, excited to ride on her first amusement park ride by herself. Even if it was just a carousel. 
Sage walked off the platform and out of the gate, she happened to see the same curly-haired man that her daughter had run in front of. Sage approached him.
“Hi, I’m so sorry about my daughter almost cutting in line. We’re still working on waiting our turn, and apparently, that doesn’t mix with having too much candy.” Sage joked, Jack properly looked at Sage for the first time, and something about her drew him to her. Jack was incredibly nervous, which was unlike him, he hadn’t felt that way since he was with Penelope.
“It’s completely okay. You don’t have to apologize, I’ve been there and I understand.” Jack brushed it off. “She’s yours?” Jack asked and Sage nodded. Since she had Charlotte fairly young, and Charlotte had almost looked like an exact copy of her Dad, minus their matching blonde hair, she was used to people assuming she was a babysitter or older sister.
“Yeah, I know it’s hard to believe because she looks so much like her Dad, but she does have 50 percent of my DNA,” Sage joked, Jack couldn’t help but let out a small laugh, though his eyes showed a small hint of disappointment. “But I’ve been in my single mom era since she was born, all this work, and all we share is the same hair color.” She laughed light-heartedly, hoping her humor was understood. Luckily Jack laughed at her joke.
“Are you from around here?” Jack asked Sage.
“Yeah, well, I grew up in Nashville, but I moved to Louisville after I had my daughter. My family had moved up here but I stayed behind until then.” Sage explained as they glanced towards their daughters on the ride. “Sorry, you didn’t ask for a life story, I don’t know why I’m giving you one,” Sage said, laughing and Jack shook his head. 
“I don’t mind,” Jack reassured her.
“So I take it you’re from here? Most people don’t ask that unless they are from the area themselves.” Sage teased.
“Yeah, I did grow up here, so you’re right.” Jack laughed. “Are you two celebrating something or just here for fun?” Jack asked.
“It was her fifth birthday a few weeks ago, she wanted to come here on her birthday, but we couldn’t, so hence the extra candy for celebration. What about you two? Assuming you aren’t here with someone else.” Sage asked.
“Just for fun. I’m out of town for work a lot so every time I’m in town I make sure to do something extra fun with her. This time her pick was the amusement park.” Jack explained.
“Oh, what do you do for work?” Sage asked. Jack didn’t want to tell Sage he was a rapper. He liked her, even just from their brief meeting, and he didn’t want her to make any assumptions about him before she got to know him.
“I’m in the music industry,” Jack said, not going into further detail and Sage didn’t push it.
Charlotte ran toward Sage and Melody ran towards Jack.
“Mommy! Let’s go on the next ride, that was so fun!!” Charlotte yelled excitedly, grabbing her mother’s hand and pulling her towards the next ride.
“Bye, it was nice to meet you!” Sage said to Jack.
“Nice to meet you too!” Jack called as Sage got pulled away. “Wait, I didn’t get your name,” Jack called out but Sage was too far away to hear him. 
Jack thought about trying to catch up to her. As soon as he took a step forward, holding Melody’s hand, someone approached him.
“Oh my god! You’re Jack Harlow right?” A girl asked.
All Jack could do was watch Sage walk away as he greeted the fan who approached him, hoping they would run into each other again. Even though Jack kept his eye out for Sage the rest of the day, he didn’t see her again.

Flying over the Atlantic
Alone. 
Five letters 
Three vowels. 
A word that describes a  physical state where you are physically by yourself. 
A word that I wouldn't use to describe myself. 
Lonely.
Six letters.
Two vowels. 
A word that describes an emotional state where you feel disconnected from others. 
A word that I would use to describe myself. 
But, all it would take to make me stop is to book a flight from Los Angeles to London and sit next to an enlightening man 35000 feet in the air. 
Statistics show that there is a 2% chance to find love on a plane. My chances were very low. Thankfully, the odds were in my favor. 
I loved to travel. It was a way for me to take a break from life and reset my energy. But, I didn't like sitting next to someone for the next 11 hours who would be shaking his gigantic leg the entire flight. 
This man was so big that my seat that was attached to his was shaking too. I was trying to concentrate on my book, but my tired eyes and the shaking made it impossible. 
In my head, I was cursing at him and making him stop. However, I was never the confrontational type. I always took the high road. Hence, I kept my mouth shut and kept trying to read my book. 
His leg finally stopped shaking. But before I could have some satisfaction he spread his legs wide enough for one of them to touch my leg. He was in my space. I hated it when people were in my space. He didn't move. I didn't move. I felt this burning sensation of discomfort where his leg was touching mine. This time I couldn't keep my mouth shut. 
“Sir?” I said loud enough for him to hear me. 
He didn't budge. He didn't even turn to look at me. Therefore, I managed to nudge him with my leg which got his attention, as he turned to face me. One could barely see his face with the cap and sunglasses. 
“Sir?” I said again with more aggression in my tone while I was burning holes in his leg with my eyes. 
He kept quiet and stared at me for a second. Then, he moved around in his chair to find a comfortable position. 
I only got to read one page from my book before he gave up on shuffling around in his seat. 
“Sorry mam, but there is literally no place for my legs to go, and I can't find a comfortable position to sit in for the next 11 hours.” He said apologetically. 
I don't know where my courage or rudeness came from, but I managed to let words I would've never said slip my mouth. “Well, maybe you should've gotten yourself in first class.” 
He thought I was a bitch. I thought I was a bitch. We were both shocked at my remark. 
“I am so sorry, I didn't mean..I am so sorry. I don't know what got into me. I'm not usually like this. I think I'm getting my period soon. Sorry again, that was too much information. I talk too much...  ” I kept apologizing and scrambling for words, while a smile grew on his face. 
“I tried” He managed to slip between my endless rambling with a chuckle. 
I fell silent, looking at him to continue. 
“I booked last minute and it was fully booked, so I had to get bumped here.” He said with a shrug. 
“Sorry that you had to be stuck in these trashy seats then.” I said, waving around the area where his legs were. 
“No need to be sorry, this place is less trashy now that I have a beautiful girl to keep me company for the rest of the flight.” He said charmingly. 
A blush grew on my entire face. I'm pretty sure I turned into a tomato, earning me another chuckle. I was speechless. I was never good at receiving compliments. Hence, why I only gave him a nod and kept reading my book. Although, I could still feel his eyes on me. 
“Oliver Twist huh, you don't see many people walking around with that book in their hands these days.” He pointed out, drawing my attention from the book I've read too many times. 
“Yeah well, Charles Dickens just hits different” I answered. 
“I would've pegged you more of a Colleen Hoover fan than someone that many in our generation feel is outdated.” He stated. 
“well I am a Colleen Hoover fan, but it's completely idiotic to claim that Charles Dickens is outdated.” I said.
We fell silent again, while simply staring at each other. “Is it better to have had a good thing and lost it, or never to have had it?” He blurted, quoting Charles Dickens from his book Our Mutual Friend.
“Are you a Charles Dickens fan too?” I asked curiously. 
“Yep, see we have something in common. We should probably just skip to our wedding.” He joked. 
He stretched out his hand for me to shake while introducing himself. “I am Jack Harlow.” I introduced myself hesitantly, knowing that I recognized his name. 
“Ahh, a beautiful name for a beautiful girl.” He flirted.
This time I managed to get a word out, but unfortunately, the tomato issue was still in need of work. “Charming”. 
“I wouldn't have thought that a famous rapper like you would take an interest in Charles Dickens.” I teased. 
He simply laughed as he looked around making sure that nobody heard the famous rapper part. When he noticed that the coast was clear he took off his glasses, revealing the most beautiful ocean eyes. People say that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and his soul was drawing me in. If I had looked a bit longer, I would've drowned. 
I cleared my throat, taking myself out of my trance just in time to hear his question. “So what would your answer be to the quote I said before?”
“Wow, you just jump into the deep questions, don't you? People usually start with what are your hobbies.” I stated jokingly. Earning another chuckle. 
“Anyway to answer your question, I would've chosen to have had a good thing and lost it. Isn't that what life is all about? I mean everything you go through ends up shaping you as a person, and the more you go through, the more you learn about yourself.” I added. 
He nodded approvingly at my answer. 
“I knew I liked you, how about we skip to just having children by now.” He reasoned with a mischievous glint in his eyes. 
I playfully hit his arm and from there our conversation flowed. It's so interesting finding a stranger that you feel you've known your whole life. 
He was just perfect, the more we talked the more I could feel those walls I had all those years crumble and fall to the ground. For the first time in forever, I felt like someone got me. He listened and paused before giving his thoughtful opinion. At this point, we knew everything about each other. Nine hours had managed to fly by, as we were talking for what only felt like an hour. 
“So what are your plans here Mr. Harlow, are you going to London for business or pleasure?” I pondered with a playful tone. 
“I was initially here for business but if I get to spend some time with you it will be both.” He answered with a smirk. 
“Then we better make sure that you have some pleasure, it would be a shame to travel all this way only for business” I answered with my newly found confidence. 
We resumed our talks about everything and nothing. We even threw in weird questions every now and then like “If your parachute were to fail, would you rather land on solid ground or in water?” or “Would you rather be a kangaroo or a koala?”. 
Before we knew it, we had landed safely and were already moving to the baggage claim. He was such a gentleman, insisting on carrying my things and picking up my very heavy bag from the baggage carousel. 
We stood at the exit and exchanged numbers to keep in touch. 
“How about we meet at this location at 8 pm?” He asked while pointing at his phone. 
“At eight?!? That's in an hour!” I exclaimed, knowing that I would never make it in time. 
“Aaand?? You will make it. I'm sure of it. If you want, we can make it interesting.” He said with a mischievous grin. 
I nodded hesitantly, wanting to know what he had in mind. 
“How about we strike a deal? If you get late then you lose and have to do whatever I want to do for the rest of the evening, and if you win and get there in time then I'll have to do whatever you want for the rest of the evening. This will surely motivate you more to come on time.” He explained. 
“Okay, fine” I said intrigued. “Let's seal the deal for this challenge.” I continued as I stretched my hand for him to shake. 
Instead, he pulled me in by my hand as his lips crashed on mine. I couldn't help myself from threading my fingers through his curls as he kept pulling me impossibly closer to him. The butterflies in my stomach were getting crazier by the second. 
Once we pulled apart completely breathless he managed to say “Now that's how you seal a deal.”
He quickly looked at the time, reminding me that time was ticking. He started backing away to one of the taxis as I was doing the same. 
Before he hopped in the cab, he shouted “Best believe I'm going to win this!”
------------------------------------------------------
Hiiiyaaa lovies, know it's been a while. Many of you have been asking me if I still write and I do. It just takes me some time to post because I've been very uninspired lately, and I don't want to post anything I'm not satisfied with. Buuuuttt, watched a movie yesterday that was called Love at first sight, and it just got the ideas flowing. Plus I wanted to post something on my bday. Hope you like it and stay tuned for more🥰🥰

Made me feel all giddy inside🥰
“It’s not nice to scream”
Summary: The one where you and Jack get into a heated argument and the kids wake up. - Angst to fluff
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jack was working on his album, which meant he was away in the studio for hours every day for the past few weeks. When the weekend came you thought he would stay at home with you, but at first, he had to go to the studio to finish a track, after that, it was a work lunch and after that, he went out with the boys. Meanwhile, you were at home with both your kids, feeling exhausted.
Your children were good and nice kids, but with Nathaniel teething and being attached to you and Grace being an energetic 4-year-old, you felt overwhelmed. You had tried to get ahold of Jack, but he wasn't picking up, It wasn't until you called Clay that you knew where Jack was.
"Look who finally decides to come home" You rolled your eyes as you walked past him and into the kitchen to put Nathaniel's chewing toy in the freezer. Grace and Nathaniel had just fallen asleep when Jack walked into the house.
"What's with the attitude?" Jack asked, confused. He followed you into the kitchen and stood there with a hand on his hip.
"Well let's see, my husband has apparently forgotten he has a family at home"
"What do you mean?" He furrowed his eyebrows. You walked past him, going to the living room to clean the toys that were scattered all over the floor.
"Let me remind you. You have two kids at home that would love to spend time with their father" You roughly said as you picked up one of Grace's dolls before shoving it in her toy basket.
"I've been working Y/N" Jack tensed his jaw, his hand was balled up in a fist and it was clear he was getting worked up. He was already in a bad mood before he came home, there was this one track that didn't turn out the way he wanted it. He just wanted to go home and relax for the rest of the night, not expecting his wife to blow up on him.
“I just find it funny you..” you were speaking but Jack's loud sigh interrupted you
“Here we go” he mumbled under his breath, crossing his arms as he leaned against the wall, rolling his eyes in the process.
“Excuse me?” You could practically feel your blood pumping into your veins, You couldn't believe the audacity. "What the actual fuck has gotten into you?" you lashed out, your voice getting louder with every word.
"Y/N I have a lot to do at work" Jack couldn't help but raise his voice as well.
"And I have a lot to do at home. I understand you having to be at the studio or going to work dinners, but I can't comprehend you going out with the boys instead of coming home to us"
"Well, maybe I just want some time alone and be with my boys" He retaliated.
"And I don't?" your shoulders slumped down as your voice got caught in your throat. You swallowed and took a deep breath, looking down at your feet before meeting his, now, dark eyes, "I can't do this alone Jack"
"You could've just asked me for help" he shrugged, his tone still filled with anger
"I shouldn't have to ask you Jack" you spoke sharply, closing your eyes for a second, moving your hand to your forehead. "But I called you multiple times this morning, but you of course have it on fucking airplane mode"
"Well that's how I work in the studio, you know that already" He spat out, not even trying to understand your point of view.
"Well maybe fucking change that now that you have a family and wife that needs to come in contact with you" You didn't know he was acting like this, and it broke your heart.
"I can't deal with this right now" Jack snapped back, he walked to the foyer with you in tow.
"So you're just going to leave?" you whispered, not trusting your voice anymore. Jack grabbed his car keys and turned around to look at you,
"Better than being here" he mumbled and walked out, slamming the door in the process. The words he said cut deep, and you couldn't stop the tears from falling.
Just as the door closed, you heard cries coming from Nathaniel's room, he must have woken up from all the screaming and shouting. You wiped away the tears that were falling from your face and walked to Nathaniel's room. You picked him up and brought him closer to your chest as you rocked him back and forth, trying to calm him down.
"Mommy" You heard Grace's tiny voice say from behind you. She was standing next to Nathaniel's door with tears in her eyes, "Where's Daddy?" she asked. She had also woken up to the screaming and gotten sad.
You took a deep breath and quickly dried your own tears, for her sake, "He forgot something at Uncle Urby's place" you lied. You sat down in the chair you had in Nathaniel's room and motioned for her, "Come here". She sat down in your lap and you hugged her and Nathaniel.
"Why were you and Daddy screaming?" Grace sniffled. You looked at her for a few seconds, not knowing what to tell her.
"We got a little angry with each other, but it was not right of us to scream, I'm sorry baby"
"It's not nice to scream," she said, scrunching her nose and wiping away the snot.
"You're totally right, It's not nice" You gave her a kiss on the head. You looked down and saw that Nathaniel had fallen asleep, so you put him back in his crib before picking Grace up.
"Do you want to sleep in Mommy's bed?" you asked her, receiving excited nods. The both of you laid down in bed, and you played with her hair as she fell asleep.
----------------------------------
Meanwhile, Jack had gone to Urban's place. His friend could clearly note the anger on his face. "What's up" Urban stepped aside and let him walk in.
"I don't even want to talk about it" He walked straight to the living room and slumped down on the couch. Urban looked at him, confusion written all over his face.
"Weren't you going home? Did something happen there?" Urban didn't let it go
"I said I didn't want to talk about it" Jack groaned
"Well, I don't give a fuck. Does Y/N know you're here?" he asked him, sitting down next to him
"No, I just walked out" Jack looked down, he knew what he did was wrong, but he couldn't stay there and scream at you, his blood was boiling and he needed to get out of there to calm down.
"That's low" Urban was completely honest with him, "I'm telling her you're here, you know how worried she can get," Urban said and picked up his phone to text you. Jack could only nod, even though he was angry he knew Urban was right, he didn't want you to worry and overthink the situation.
Urban: Jack's here, I think it's best he stays the night
You: Thank you.
"Now speak, what happened" Urban gave Jack a little time before he made him talk. Jack told him everything, and Urban was furious at him.
"Dude, I know you're my brother and all that, but that was fucked up of you. Y/N didn't say anything wrong. You out of everyone know how important family is, and that they come first"
"I know, It's just all been too much and I guess I took it out on her" Jack ran his fingers through his hair, "I fucked up didn't I?"
"Just talk to her tomorrow, but yes you fucked up bro" Urban patted his shoulder, "I'll go with you tomorrow, I can take the kids out for breakfast, I know a place Grace will love and you two can talk it out"
"Thank you" Jack gave him a hug, thankful he had Urban by his side.
They both got ready for bed and Jack walked into Urban's guest bedroom. He picked up his phone and decided to send you a message.
Jack: I'm sorry. I love you always.
-------------------------------------------
You were thankful that Urban had sent you a message last night, letting you know Jack was there. It made you calm down, and you fell asleep shortly after.
You woke up with Grace's feet in your face and chuckled as you moved her around so she was lying normally. You checked your phone and saw Jack's message from last night and your chest tightened. At least he calmed down, you thought.
You had just gotten out of the bathroom when you heard the front door being unlocked. You took a deep breath and quickly fixed your hair before going to meet him.
And there he was, He was standing there a guilty look on his face with Urban standing next to him.
"Hi" you said, Urban walked up to you and gave you a hug.
"Good morning, I'm taking the kids out for breakfast," He told you with a gentle smile.
"Let me just get them ready" you didn't even acknowledge Jack, not having the energy to talk to him just yet.
"I'll help," Jack mumbled. When you didn't respond, he nodded to himself and went to get Nathaniel ready, who had just woken up. You woke Grace up. She got very excited to see her dad and uncle and became even more excited when you told her she was going out to breakfast with Urban. After half an hour, both kids were ready, and Urban took them out.
You took a shaky breath as you walked into the living room. Jack sat awkwardly on the sofa, like a guest in his own home, waiting for the two of you to talk.
As soon as you sat down, Jack apologized, saying, "Y/N, I'm so sorry." He rubbed his hands on his legs, a nervous habit of his, before running his fingers through his curls. However, his anxiety only increased when you remained silent. "Please say something," he whispered and reached out to hold your hand.
You pulled your hand away and finally looked at him, "Sorry? That's all you have to say?"
"I know I fucked up, but please let me make it up to you" he begged
"You hurt me," you expressed, looking down at your fidgeting hands, twisting your wedding ring as you often do when anxious. "You promised that work would never take priority over our family, yet that's exactly what happened."
"I never meant to hurt you, I know what I did was wrong" he spoke, his voice getting caught in his throat. Jack was really regretting his actions and the way he spoke to you last night.
"I know you didn't mean to hurt me" you sighed, "but you did, and you made me feel neglected. It's not only been hard for me, but the kids as well"
Jack nodded, taking a deep breath before speaking, "I understand. I've had so much at work that I let it consume me. I took my frustration out on you, and for that, I'm truly sorry. I messed up" He spoke, and his eyes glistened with tears. "Please let me make it up to you. You and the kids mean the world to me, I don't want to lose you"
You reached forward and grabbed his hand, in that moment he closed his eyes and a tear slipped down his cheek. "I don't want to lose you either" you couldn't hold back your own tears, "But something has got to change Jack, We barely see you at home"
Jack squeezed your hand "I promise you I will be better, You, Grace and Nathaniel are my one and only priority, and I'm sorry I ever made you doubt that. I regret everything I said last night, you don't deserve that"
"You’re right, I didn’t deserve that. But I'm glad you came to your senses" you gave him a gentle smile as you reached out and wiped away his tears, "We just want our Jack back"
"Oh he's back" Jack chuckled. He grabbed the hand you had on his face and pulled it closer to his lips, he planted a kiss in the palm of your hand as you now cradled his cheek. "Thank you for grounding me, I love you" He whispered
"I love you too" You leaned in and kissed him.

X-Factor
Series Masterlist
Synopsis: Jack is ready to have deep talks about emotional vulnerability and he hears Zoey sing for the first time.
Theme song:
Tumblr media
Love makes you do the craziest things. Jack had been speaking to his therapist about ways to be more vulnerable and emotionally available with Zoey in order to feel more comfortable and confident in telling her that he loved her. He spent the last week and a half looking at what relationship experts had to say about it and really taking in a bunch of information that he truly felt was useful. Zoey was worth it and he almost didn’t even recognize himself with how much effort he was putting in to get closer to her in every way that wasn’t just purely physical.
They had that on lock.
He was back in Miami for a few days and as he laid in Zoey’s bed, he decided now was as good of a time as any to do this. “So I’ve been talking to my therapist about how I really want to be able to express myself in a healthier way, especially with you and she suggested that we play a game. Are you up for that?”
“Of course, what’s the game?” Zoey asks, sitting up so she can face him.
“They’re just questions about random things, to get us to be honest and express ourselves as much as possible. I know we have no problems finding things to talk about, but I do think I’m lacking a bit in the emotional vulnerability department and I want to be a complete partner, in every aspect. So it’s important for me to be able to comfortably do this and be my full self with you.”
His girlfriend was thoroughly impressed. “Can I ask what brought this on?”
“I felt like I was in way over my head. Not used to talking about my feelings and I don’t want that to be the norm or for you to have to pry things out of me so I figured we could work on that together? Intimacy isn’t an issue, at all, but I do think doing something like this would bring us closer. And I'm willing to try anything really, to not only show you how I feel but to be able to tell you.”
She responds by giving him a slow, tender kiss, lightly biting on his lower lip when she pulls away. “You working on your emotional maturity and going out of your way to fix it is so unbelievably attractive, you have no idea.”
“Well I’m about to get even sexier then.” He laughs, pulling out his phone to read his notes. “Okay Zo, first question and I’m going to start it off light, name your three favorite things about me and why?”
Zoey scooted toward him to rest her hands on his legs. “I love your kindness. You’re so sweet to literally everyone you meet and have never met a stranger. Second thing is that your heart is so big, you just want to take care of everyone all the time. Even if sometimes you’re the one that needs to be cared for. And the third thing is how utterly gorgeous you are inside and out. Obviously you are attractive but then when you actually let people peel back layers, you’re even prettier on the inside which is incredible.”
“But damn your eyes and your smile are so pretty.” She adds with a giggle.
“Thank you, baby.” Jack blushes, handing her the phone so she could choose a question. “This one is good. What’s your favorite part about our relationship?”
“Where do I even start?” He muses, looking into her eyes. “Well first off, I like how we balance each other out. It’s like we’re both the perfect mix of intense and chill and we feed off of each other’s energies very well. I love that we want each other and we don’t need each other, we have our own lives and things going on but our relationship is just a bonus, not a necessity.”
“My favorite thing about our relationship though, about you, is that you move things in me that I thought I covered up with cement a long time ago. I spent a really long time convincing myself that with this life, I wouldn’t find anything sustainable with anyone. There was no way to find someone that would be worth it. So I built a fortress around myself and put up a front that I wasn’t a relationship guy. And then here you come with your honesty and vulnerability in the most perfect and incredible person I’ve ever seen and you got me.” He pauses, holding her hand with a sigh.
“You make me better, in every way imaginable. And that’s the best part.” He so badly wanted to finish that sentence with those three words but it was still too much.
Zoey looked at her boyfriend who’s eyes were a bit shiny with tears. She wiped at them and kissed his cheek, “you make me better too.”
The happiness that radiated from him was almost palpable and he felt corny for still being in the honeymoon phase four months into the relationship but he couldn’t help it, all he could do was shake his head and keep going. “Alright, next question. What is the theme song of our relationship?”
“Oh that’s a good one.” She states pensively, tapping her chin with her index finger. “Maybe, ‘Right There’ by Ariana ft. Big Sean. Cause I’m your number one girl who got the top spot title.”
Jack lets out a laugh, smacking his thigh. “Who needs a genie in a bottle if I already got you? Granted all my wishes and shit, I like that.”
“Your turn Z.”
She gasps a little at a question on the screen. “Okay I need to know this. Which of the five senses are most sensual to you?”
He raises his eyebrows, deep in thought, thinking back to their various intimate encounters. “This might be super nerdy and artsy of me but I think it’s gotta be hearing. Not just because music is so important to me and that may be a part of it but hearing you is intoxicating sometimes. And I’m not even being sexual, I'm just talking about your speaking voice. It relaxes me and calms me and yeah it turns me on hearing you moan or say my name. Shit like that. So yeah, hearing for sure.”
“Good fucking answer. I feel like Steve Harvey right now, but that’s a good ass answer.”
They spent a little over two hours going through the questions and digging deep. Zoey left shortly after they were done to grab something from the office while Jack and EJ got a workout in. He showered and came home to find her in the bathroom singing their theme song, hitting every note. He’d been waiting for this day for so long he had to get in there with her.
“See I knew you could sing but I didn’t know you could sing. Jesus Christ, you sound incredible.” He told her as soon as the door was closed.
“Thank you.” She laughed. “How was your workout?”
“It was fine but I’m not here to talk about that. Finish your song. Sing to me, please.” He engulfed her in a hug, basking in the warmth of the steamy room as they relaxed into each other a bit further.
Jack began to gently sway them back and forth as Zoey finished the song, listening to the steady thump of his heartbeat. She looked up to meet his loving gaze and he slowly leaned in, bringing their lips together, closing any distance that was left between them. She smiled into the kiss, still mentally pinching herself at the reality that was her life, everything was so much more raw and emotionally driven now that they were official and every part of her wanted to scream that she loved him at the top of her lungs. But she couldn’t, not until she knew he felt the same. Part of her still needed to protect herself from the first time she put herself out there for him and he needed to make that first move to drive them forward. Today was a huge step in understanding his emotions but Zoey still wanted him to say those words first.
“You’re everything I could ever want. Please know that.” He whispered, their noses still touching. It wasn’t exactly what she had hoped for but, good things come to those who wait. “Being with you is better than anything I could’ve ever dreamt up, so thank you. Thank you for being a dream come true.” He said with another peck. “Now I feel like I gotta ask, Zoey, what do you want?” He laughed quietly.
Zoey wrapped her arms around his neck to bring him even closer, taking a deep breath before pulling back. “Well I’m so glad you asked because I have a list. Let me go get it and read it to you.” He followed her to her room and she dug through her bedside table drawer for a neatly folded piece of pink paper.
“I want to be cared for and to care for someone. But not in that corny way where we cook each other five course meals and leave hug coupons but in a way that’s just simple, like little intimate acts of service here and there. I want trust and communication and commitment that knows no bounds. I want passion but in a delicate way. I want to be treated like royalty but manhandled when the situation calls for it.” She tosses the paper on the bed and walks back over to him, cupping his face in her hands.
She continues,“I want all of those things but only if you’re the one that I’m with, because what I really want is to do everything that is humanly imaginable in this world…with you. That’s what the fuck I want.”
Jack’s smile reaches his ears. “Ask and you shall receive, baby. You will have everything on that list, believe that.”

Not this making me feel all fuzzy inside❤️❤️
Isabella and Jackman Part 2
summary: The one where Jack and Isabella are childhood friends. Could it be more?
Click here for Part 1
Part 2 of the collaboration with @harlowcomehome
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Isabella took another look in the mirror, fixing her hair in the process. She wasn't quite sure why she was nervous, it's not like it was the first time she and Jack would spend time with each other. But something felt different this time, she just wasn't sure what it was. Her parents had to leave earlier, and Jack insisted on picking Isabella up. Just as she reached for her bag to put on more lipgloss, she heard three knocks on the door.
"I'm coming" she yelled out, quickly applying the lipgloss before she walked out to open the door for him.
While waiting, Jack turned his back towards the door, watching as two kids were playing across the street. He got a big smile on his face, reminiscing old times.
When he heard the door open he quickly turned around. "I..., wow" Jack was stunned, his eyes staring at her, almost as if he was trying to memorize her face and every piece of her body. She felt herself getting warmer, looking away from his stare.
"You look absolutely beautiful Isabella," Jack felt breathless
"I could say the same about you" She winked at him. He wore a black suit that fitted his body perfectly, and the fabric hugged his toned arms. Isabella could tell he had shaped his beard up, and his curls were a bit shorter.
"Let's go" Jack gave her his arm and she happily hooked her arm with his, turning around to lock the door. They walked together to his car, Jack opened the door for her and waited until she was seated to close it and walk around to the driver's seat.
There was a bit of awkward silence as Jack started driving, but that quickly disappeared when the song Best I ever had by Drake came on the AUX,
"Remember when that girl, what was she called? Sarah? Sabrina? broke up with you and you had this song on repeat and couldn't stop crying" Isabella giggled at the memories
"Yes Sabrina, and I wasn't crying" Jack had a small smile on his face, his eyes looking straight ahead of him.
"oh yeah sorry, your eyes were just leaking" Isabella started laughing when Jack shot her a dirty look.
"Whatever" he mumbled with a smirk, before starting to sing the lyrics of the song, Isabella quickly following his lead. They sang, laughed, and shared more memories the entire way to the venue.
When they arrived, Jack quickly walked over to her side, holding his hand out for her and helping her out of the car. She straightened her dress, "Thank you", she smiled at him. He dropped her hand but quickly put his on her lower back instead, as he led the way inside the venue.
Isabella kept her eyes on Jack, realizing now that he seemed nervous. “Are you okay?”
“Me?” He nervously chuckled, “Couldn’t be better, I’m here with you.”
Isabella bit her lip nervously at that, taking a seat. “Warning, weddings always make me cry” she whispered and Jack laughed. He knew she was a soft and sensitive person, that’s part of why he liked her so much.
When the wedding vows were spoken she started to sniffle. Jack handed Isabella a tissue as she dabbed her eyes. It wasn’t long before everyone was finding their seats for dinner and dancing.
“Thanks again for coming with me” Isabella smiled.
“I mean Clay was busy so…” he winked knowing she caught on to his lie previously.
“I’m surprised you wanted to come with me actually” Isabella tried to get information out of him but the wedding Dj interrupted the conversation by announcing the dance floor was now open.
“Let’s dance?” Jack turned to Isabella hopeful she wouldn’t question him too much more.
The first song that played was fast-paced, Isabella and Jack dancing foolishly around one another as giggles were muffled by the loud music.
“Do you do these moves on tour? I bet people would pay good money to see them” Isabella teased making Jack's entire face practically glow red.
He started to walk away, embarrassed as she grabbed him by the wrist pulling him back and into her. The proximity of their bodies surprised them both for a moment.
“I- I was only joking” Isabella looked up at him, her eyes were soft and sincere. Truthfully Jack knew she was joking but she had a way of making him feel flustered.
“I was just going to get some water, rejuvenate” he chuckled and she agreed as the two of them went back to their table momentarily to take a drink.
Jack admired her as she waited for him, her hand on her hip as everyone else danced. He had always had feelings for Isabella but made excuse after excuse not to tell her, but there was something different about tonight. He felt eager and ready to confess his feelings, he wasn’t sure what made tonight different but being home always made him feel such strong emotions.
The beginning notes of Elvis’s song Can’t help but falling in love began to play, Isabella turned to Jack smiling wide “This is the song my parents danced to at their wedding!”
“Shall we dance?” Jack held his hand out for her to grab.
“It would be a shame not to” Isabella winked as Jack guided her to the dance floor again.
He rested his left hand on Isabella’s lower back, pulling her closer to him as he held her left hand in his right one. They both started slowly swaying to the music, Jack looking right at her taking in all of her beautiful features as she looked over his shoulder.
He gave her a twirl and Isabella let out a beautiful giggle, that quickly became Jack's favorite sound. He bought her even closer to his body when they returned to their original dancing position.
"Like a river flows" Jack began singing along with the song, and Isabella locked eyes with him. "Surely to the sea, darling so it goes, somethings are meant to be". He didn't look away even once, He held intense eye contact as he whispered the last thing "For I can't help, falling in love with you".
Isabella took a deep breath, the eye contact along with Jack's loving expression was making her core tighten. She saw how Jack bent down, moving his face closer to hers and she panicked, it all became too much for her.
Isabella took a step back and shook her head, "Don't" she whispered, not trusting her voice to properly speak up. With that, Isabella turned around with her back against Jack and ran out of the venue. Jack looked around, thankfully everyone was in their own bubble to notice anything, he looked back at the door Isabella had just run out of and he couldn't make up his mind on what to do. He wanted to run after her, fight for her, and make her his girl but he wasn't sure if she felt the same way.
"Fuck it," he said to himself after standing there for a few seconds, contemplating his next move. Isabella was worth fighting for.
He walked out of the venue, not seeing her at first. She was standing to the side, a hand over her chest as she was breathing deeply. He didn't like seeing her like this, and knowing he was the reason for it broke his heart.
"Izzy, I'm sorry" He said when he walked up to her.
She turned around, tears welling in her eyes. “Why did you do that?” She cried out.
“Do what?” Jack was hurt by her reaction.
“Just ruin our friendship!” Isabella sniffled, trying to gather her thoughts and feelings.
“I ruined our friendship? Why? Because I actually thought you might feel the same way?” Jacks face was red with embarrassment but he wasn’t going to give up that easy.
Isabella wiped away her tears, looking up to meet Jacks eyes. “Feel the same way? And what way is that?” She asked, not sure what he was implying.
"Are you seriously that oblivious?" Jack said frustration could be heard in his voice. He threw his hands up in the air before resting them on his head, running his fingers through his hair. "Every time you're near me my heart starts beating faster, When I hear your voice, I’m at peace. I can finally slow down and enjoy everything around me. You light up every room you walk into with that smile of yours and I want to be the reason you’re smiling, even if that’s corny.” He chuckled "That's the way you make me feel"
Isabella's breath caught as she stared at Jack in disbelief. She had never really thought about the possibility of Jack liking her until now. Jack hurriedly continued, his words spilling out, "I can't ignore these feelings any longer Isabella".
"I don't understand Jack" Isabella breathed out, not really comprehending Jack's words.
"I'm in love with you Isabella, and I have been for a long time" Jack's frustration seemed to calm down now, being replaced by a hint of nervousness,
"Jack, how would this ever work? You're you and I'm just me" A small laugh escaped Isabella's lips as she wiped away remnants of her tears.
"That's the reason I love you Izzy." Jack took a step closer to her, putting his hand on her cheek and cradling it. "Give us a chance" He breathed out, their faces close to each other.
Isabella didn't say anything, instead, she leaned in. Finally feeling his lips against her. The kiss was soft, and Jack's lips felt perfect against hers, It felt like two puzzle pieces finally finding their place.
"You know," Isabella said against Jack's lips, "All the things you said, I felt them too, but I never allowed myself to believe we could be something more. I was too afraid" She confessed.
"I understand that fear, but I'm willing to take a leap of faith and fight for you, for us" Jack's thumb brushed against Isabella's cheek, and a big smile could be seen on both their faces. Isabella leaned in and gave him another kiss, already missing the feeling of his lips against hers.
"You want to go?" Jack asked her, giving her another kiss before she could answer. She giggled into the kiss and nodded, "Yes please".
He took her hand into his and started walking to where the car was.
"Oh and Jack" Isabella said, a cheeky smile plastered on her face. "I love you too," She said once he locked eyes with her.
