PLEASE GO BACK AND READ CHAPTER 9...I mistakenly uploaded chapter 8 twice. Sorry you guys.


Jack walked out of the bedroom with the laptop in his hand, grasping it tightly with anger. Selena was standing over the stove, making breakfast not yet aware of what Jack found on her laptop.

"What the fuck is this shit?" Jack placed the laptop on the counter that was set between them, waiting for Selena to turn around.

"What the fuck is what?"

"Turn around and look."

Selena was taken back but turned to face him anyways, her eyes quickly landing on the laptop screen then carelessly shrugged. "I was going to send in an application to be an escort."

"You fucking did what?" Jack spat then inhaled harshly through his nose before he ran a hand across his face.

"Okay, you're gonna stop talking to me like that." She warned, setting the spatula down on the counter.

His now dark blue eyes were antagonistic, and irritation and fury showed through the stern and serious, deathly glare he was giving Selena.

His jaw was clenched and it was clear he had no idea what to do. Jack took a second to gather his thoughts then tried talking to her in a more collected tone than before. "Why are you doing this Selena?"

Selena's body language was growing to be a bit awkward. Her teeth sunk into her bottom lip as she brought all of her hair over to one side of her shoulder, holding it there between her neck and her hand.

"I'm in debt." She mumbled.

"Because of college?"

"Yeah."

"How much?"

"Two thousand."

This made him snap once again. "So you apply to be a damn escort Selena?" Jack snorted angrily then chuckled darkly and inwardly as he dug in his back pocket to pull out his wallet. "You want money? I got fucking money."

Selena rolled her eyes simply and threw her head back, getting irritated with with his inability to understand and listen. "I don't want your money. I want to make my own."

Jack shrugged. "I don't care what you do, but you're not doing that though." He pointed to the laptop.

"I don't have to sleep with them and I wasn't planning on doing that."

"Selena you're not hearing me, you're not fucking doing it." Jack studied her face, expecting to get some argument back out of her or some kind of remark, but she seemed like she gave up, so he eased down on his anger.

He reached over the counter to grab her hand. "Look, I'll talk to Johnny about giving you a raise back at the bar. I'll pay for half of it and then you can come up with the other half since you want to, but if you feel like you don't want to then I'll gladly give you the rest. Okay?"

Selena nodded, agreeing with Jack's deal. He easily pulled on her arm. "C'mere."

They both leaned over the counter and met each other halfway to press their lips against one another's.

Jack's phone began to ring, interrupting their kiss. "I'll be back." Jack excused himself and then walked outback by the pool.

"Yeah?" He answered.

"It's a girl." Alana told him.

A wide smile spread across his face as he felt his heart grow warm. "Wow. That's amazing." He laughed. "I was thinking about a name for awhile...what about Vanessa?

Jack could feel Alana smiling and blushing through the phone, so he took it as an yes or a maybe. Was he gaining feelings for her again? Absolutely not.

But he was bringing a human into this world and he'd be damned if he act like he didn't give a fuck.

"Can you send me a picture of the sonogram?"

Alana got quiet and took a long moment before answering. "My mom has them right now...she's making a copy so she could frame them."

Jack shook his head and thought about what Angel said. "Whatever Alana. I gotta go."

He hung up the phone before she could get a chance to respond.

Jack slid the backdoor open and stepped inside as Selena placed their plates on the counter."Everything okay?"

Jack nodded and forced a smile. "Yeah." He sat down at the counter and grabbed Selena's hands from across the table, saying a blessing before they ate.

They ate in comfortable silence then Selena swallowed her last piece. She picked up her plate then his and went over to the sink.

"I got it babe." He said, taking the plate out of her hands then washing it. Selena jumped on the counter and swung her legs back and forth, watching him wash the dishes.

"I got a little concert at the Santa Monica Pier." Jack informed her, turning his head slightly to look back at her.

Selena raised a sly brow and smiled. "A little concert? Sounds like big concert."

Jack shrugged. "Yeah it's a little something." He scrubbed the sticky syrup off the plate with the sponge and soap. "Bring a jacket...we're gonna be by the water so it'll be a little cold."

"When you going to the studio?"

"After I take a shower." Jack turned the water of and dried off his hands then leaned against the counter, throwing her a Mercer smirk. "Trying to save some water?"

"Hmmm. Only cause I care about the planet, I feel as if I'm obligated to."

Selena cheekily grinned as she jumped off the counter to follow Jack into the bathroom and get undressed before stepping into the steamy hot shower.

The water stung Jack's body, almost making him jump out his skin.

"Damn Selena, this shit burns." Jack reached past her to make the water less hot but she smacked his hand. Jack glared at her. "I knew you were from hell."

Selena rolled her eyes at his comment. Jack applied a small amount of shampoo to her hair, knowing she'd kill him if he put a handful of it in her hair.

She hated when he did that to her, her hair was curly and not oily. Her hair required less shampoo and more conditioner, so it wouldn't dry it out.

They helped each other wash up after he added conditioner to her hair and then soon rinsed it out. Selena scrubbed shampoo in his hair, making sure she got every inch.

"Goddamnit Selena!" He shouted then smacked her arm as she almost let out a laugh.

"What I do?" She bit back a smile.

Jack began rubbing his left eye. "You got fucking shampoo in my eye."

Selena let out a small laugh and began rubbing his eye with her thumb and then pecked his eyelid. "I'm sorry baby." She teased, mocking him.

Jack pushed her away. "Get off. Imma do it. I didn't invite you in here to kill me. You lost your privileges."

Selena laughed then wrapped her arms around his stomach and placed her cheek on the back of his shoulder, waiting until Jack finished washing his hair to pull him in for a kiss.

It was passionate as it gained urgency and their tongues wrestled one another. Jack's hands roamed all over her wet olive skin until he got past her lower back and firmly cupped her ass, pulling her into him.

Selena moaned at the feeling of Jack's hard on against her. He began sucking on her neck, biting her skin every other nibble as he gently rubbed her clit with his hand. She let her head fall back, biting down on her bottom lip, keeping in a moan.

Jack surprised her by letting a finger slip inside her. Selena almost lost balance, her knees weakened at the pleasure he just gave her, then moved her against the glass wall to keep her from falling.

Jack fingered her as his thumb rubbed her clit. Selena closed her eyes and lifted one leg up to wrap around him.

She bucked against his fingers, small moans escaping her lips as Jack continued to nibble around her shoulders and neck.

He could feel her on the verge of cumming; he removed his fingers and surprised her once again by replacing his fingers with his dick.

Selena gasped loudly then grinned at the feeling he was giving her. She studied him and that sexy face he made.

His teeth digging into his bottom lip as his eyes were slammed shut. His hair looked dark brown in the water, but she could still see some of the blonde peeking through. Selena ran her digits on his scalp and held his hair back.

His thrust were repetitive and hard, but tender. Jack was panting hard, his breath hitting her curls as the hot water shot down on them.

All seven inches of him were filling her up completely. She was yearning for more and so was Jack, so he grabbed her other leg to wrap around him as his hands settled on her waist.

Her wild hips began to buck into him as he yanked her body towards his. Selena screamed the words, 'Oh God', over and over again. She leaned into him and met every thrust he dealt.

Jack held her with one hand as his other found her clit and rubbed it at a steady pace, helping her approach her climax. She finally let out a loud and long drawn out moan as her body trembled and spasmed in pleasure.

Jack held the side of her neck and slowly but roughly kissed her. Just as Selena began to relax, Jack fucks her harder than before. He could feel her get tighter and have a hold on him like a fucking vise. "I'm about to cum baby." Jack growled as his nails dug into her hips.

Selena threw an arm around his neck, pulling herself to him, letting out loud moans that drove him to his climax with a moan that matched Selena's as she came for the second time with him.

They kissed for a long moment until they felt the water get warm and they knew it was time to get out. Jack turned off the water and then stepped out before Selena.

He tied a towel around his waist before grabbing another one and holding it open for stepped out the tub and into the towel.

Jack wrapped it around her body. She shivered and shook until Jack moved his hands up and down on both sides of the towel, making her warmer. He kissed her once again, sweetly and shortly before they broke away and went into the bedroom.

Jack threw on a white shirt that was underneath a thin black bomber that matched his pants and boots.

"Bye babe. I'll call you in a few." Jack pecked her lips as she was putting on yoga pants, deciding she was gonna try something new which was working out.


"Why in the hell are you late?" Will jumped up from the chair in the recording studio once Jack walked in, throwing him a hard glare.

Jack smirked and took a quick glance at the guys who were laying on the couch and Liam who was posted against the wall. "Had to take care of some business."

Liam chuckled and made secret eye contact with Jack, knowing that the other guys wouldn't understand because they didn't hear that Liam told Jack to make that room go to use with beautiful girl inside of it while they were in the lobby.

The guys noticed that Jack and Liam were having an unspoken conversation, but didn't say anything.

Liam pushed himself off the wall and went over to the controls. "Alright, but don't be late again Jack. We aren't on your time. Now y'all get in the booth and finish this album."

I'll sing it one last time for you

Then we really have to go

You've been the only thing that's right

In all I've done

And I can barely look at you

But every single time I do

I know we'll make it anywhere

Away from here

Light up, light up

As if you have a choice

Even if you cannot hear my voice

I'll be right beside you, dear

To think I might not see those eyes

Makes it so hard not to cry

And as we say our long goodbyes

I nearly do

Light up, light up

As if you have a choice

Even if you cannot hear my voice

I'll be right beside you, dear

Louder, louder

And we'll run for our lives

I can hardly speak, I understand

Why you can't raise your voice to say

Light up, light up

As if you have a choice

Even if you cannot hear my voice

I'll be right beside you, dear

Louder, louder

And we'll run for our lives

I can hardly speak, I understand

Why you can't raise your voice to say.


Selena seen Jack backstage behind the vertical lighting trusses, standing next to one of the stereos that was almost as tall as was smoking a cigarette, getting rid of the jitters he had, before going on.

Jack was right, it was cold next to the waves since they were on the edge of the continent, but it was so beautiful from the stage.

In every direction, they were surrounded by breathtaking views, from the flickering lights of downtown Santa Monica to the stretched curve of the coast sweeping south toward Venice and the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The lights of the coaster and Ferris wheel on the boardwalk illuminated the whole beach and almost the stage.

Jack gazed at Selena who was approaching him and staring out at the crowd that were on the side of the stage, getting a sneak peek of Jack before the show. They were almost glaring at her as she walked towards him.

He shook his head at her failure to listen. She was dressed in a black strapless choker dress that was underneath an oversized distressed black denim jacket. She finished off her outfit with black ankle combat heels.

Jack smiled behind a cloud of smoke as he hissed a lungful of it in the air. "How was yoga class?" He asked. Selena exhaled hard, that almost sounded like a groan.

"It's not for me. I was trying to lose weight on my thighs and stuff, but I think I like food too much."

Jack's head fell back as he laughed at her. "Why were you trying to lose weight? I thought you were doing it to to get flexible."

Selena shrugged and Jack stared down at her for a moment. "Sel you're beautiful and there is nothing wrong with your body."

Selena felt her heart rate increase as she cheesily smiled at his comment. Jack grinned back at her, admiring how the setting sun shined against her olive skin and captured the very essence of her smile.

He was wondering how the hell she could hate her body. She was fucking beautiful.

She had meat on her thighs, a nice ass, and her stomach wasn't toned or anything, but it was almost flat with just a little bit of gut that she could easily get rid of if she wanted to.

She edged herself closer to him, wrapping her arms around his waist before pecking his lips, not caring if anyone could see them. She backed off of him after a second, letting him finish his smoke.

Jack took a long drag from his cigarette then let out a chuckle before blowing the smoke into the air. "I told you to wear a jacket and you come out with this?" Jack grabbed her denim jacket and slightly opened it, revealing the dress.

Selena moved his hand away. Jack shook his head at her.

"I know you're cold, cause I told you to wear a jacket, a real one, and this doesn't count." Jack stuck his cigarette between his lips and began shrugging off his thin bomber. "Take mine."

"I don't want it."

"You sure? It's gonna be cold Sel."

"I'm positive."

Jack took one more drag then dropped his cigarette to the ground, crushing it with his foot then kicking it off the stage.

"So, I've been thinking that we should get back together..." He propped one of his elbows on the stereo, pushing his weight on that side of his body. "Be my girl again." Jack suggested, a small smirk hanging on his lips.

Selena got closer to him, catching burning eyes from the fans who would kill for him. She slid his hands underneath his shirt where they came out to sit on the sides of his chin and jawline, then she stretched up to plant a small kiss on his lips."I'm already your girl Jack."

Jack tugged on his lip with his teeth nervously and settled his hands on the small of her back, gently rubbing his hands up and down. "I'm not talking about you just being someone I fuck or call 'babe or baby'...I wanna let you know that I love you Selena."

Selena took a long second to look over how serious his face was, and then she cracked a smile that exposed her white teeth. "Okay."

Jack's heart truly did skip a beat a few times. He's been trying this whole time to let her know that she was the only one, and he swore to God that he would not let her leave him again, he loved her too much.

Jack gazed into her brown eyes that held that sparkle that she would always get when he made her feel special. "I love you."

He kissed her, deeply but shortly before she pulled away. "I love you." She spoke sweetly.

Jack pecked her lips again a few more times before he kissed the top of her head and continued to rub his hands up and down her back.

He cradled her head between his chin and chest as he stared out at the sun setting, casting a pink and orange light between the sky and the California water.

"Jack!" Liam called to him from the center of the stage. Jack looked over his shoulder at Liam. "You got five minutes then it's time to get in your position."

Jack nodded and then averted his gaze from him back to Selena who took her hands out of his shirt and stepped out of his hold.

"Ready boyfriend?" Selena moved a piece of his hair out of his eyes as he nodded. "I'm gonna be over there with Liam the whole time."

"Okay. I gotta go. I love you." Jack cupped her face into his hands and tenderly kissed her before he went over to his band and she went to stand beside Liam.

Selena watched them get in their position, just for the curtains to swing open and for the music to instantly start playing.

The crowd erupted into screams and everyone, mostly girls, were pushing each other out the way to get close to Jack who was playing the hell out of his guitar.

He stared off the concert amazing, getting the crowd hyped off of a song that everyone knew.

Selena mouthed the words to the famous song , forgetting how she could be so intrigued by the captivating lyrics that told a story and the tune that had her nodding her head slightly to music.

Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby

I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby

Listen to Iron Maiden baby with me.

Selena seen a guy from the crowd run off to the side and puke his guts out into the grass and when he was done he instantly went back to jumping around and singing along with the rest of the crowd.

They were feeding off the energy the band was giving them and the guys were feeding off of the energy the crowd was giving them. Now that was love.

Selena chuckled at the girls clawing the air to touch Jack. She didn't mind though. If anything it turned her on in a weird way.

She knew that no matter how many girls were gonna try to sleep with him tonight, he wouldn't give them that opportunity, because he only had eyes for her.
