Chapter Fourty:
Jack and AJ are in Jack's bed all snuggled up.
"Wow, that was unexpected." Jack happily shock by the events.
"You didn't like it, was I not experienced enough?" AJ pouts.
"Oh no, you were amazing best I had." He compliments holding her tighter.
"Great, I just want to prove that-"
"Wait, you did this because of Kourtney." AJ nods embarrassed. "AJ." He speaks in a disappointed tone.
"I am sorry I'll go." She sits up.
"No." He stops her. "What I mean is that I told you that not to prove you are better, but to not have any secrets between us." He explains sitting up as well.
"Why do I feel like I have to?" She sulks.
"Do you want to know the reason?" She nods. "Okay, however don't be upset with me."
"Okay." She is cautious of what he will say.
"You always have someone to have your back; support. You never had to defend yourself or had help to defend yourself." He starts.
"What is wrong with that?"
"You never have to develop your strength to come back to test yourself. When something happens you ask Randy, John or I to defend you." He continues.
"Aren't you supposed to?"
"Yes, although sometimes you need to fight your own battles."
"I have tried, but it always fails to the point that someone always gets hurt." AJ answers back.
"You have to try again." Jack advises.
"So I shouldn't have had sex with you because Kourtney did?" She asks for clarification.
"For that reason, no, no matter how incredible it was." He smiles as she blushes. "I want my first time with you to be special and probably later on. I want it the way you imagine."
"I imagine it with you." She snuggles as he wraps his arms around her.
"Yes, although I want more than being even with someone. Remember I did it to prove to Emily I was taken. That situation I regret deeply." He sighs. "I should have found another way to have Emily avoid me."
"You are saying I am insecure. I need to prove I am just as good as Kourtney." She restates.
"In this situation, yes." Jack agrees.
"Oh." She stands up with the sheets covering her.
"AJ." Jack shakes his head. Her reaction now is why he wanted to make sure she can handle it.
"I get it, I am just an insecure girl who needs help all the time like a child." She grabs her clothes.
"You said you won't get upset." He gets up to stop her.
"I am not upset." She yells.
Jack backs away hands in the air. "Okay, I believe you."
AJ sits on the desk chair. "Why can't-" She sniffles.
"AJ, my sweet AJ." He kneels to witness her facial emotions.
"Wrong, insecure AJ." She corrects.
"No, my sweet AJ who has fought for her man." He smiles correctly.
"What?"
"In your mind you wanted to have this afternoon with me to prove to me to not go back to Kourtney, didn't you? You have already made your decision before coming here. You just want to tell, well show me that I am your boyfriend and no one else's." He grins.
"No." She crosses her arms to deflect the correct answer.
"Come on admit it." He pokes her.
"Stop." She smiles.
"I won't until you admit." He continues to poke her.
"Never." She stands up to get away. Jack follows her until she falls on the bed.
"How about now?" He lays on top of her.
"No." She blushes feeling his body on hers.
"Now." He kisses her neck.
"No." She speaks losing control.
"You are resisting let go." He continues.
"Maybe." She again speaks with even less resolve.
"You are caving."
AJ holds his member to have her line up with hers. "Maybe." She kisses him as he sinks down to have moans from her. "Yes." She finally admits.
"So this was your plan all along?" He smirks not moving.
"If I say yes will you move?" She compromises.
"How about you give it a shot?" He puts on a smug look.
"How about-" She flips them around. "How about this for your answer?" She lifts herself up to have her mouth on him.
"I concur." He answers as AJ bobbles her head up and down.
AJ stops moments after to slither her way up his body. "I had made my decision before however this whole situation proves I want to be with you forever. When I go, I don't want to break up to have you free to date anyone." She lays her head on his chest.
"I don't want that either, although no one compares to you." He compliments.
"I don't know if-"
"Hey!" He interrupts hinting that she is about to tease him.
"Just kidding." She giggles. "So, how do you feel me attending another school?"
"I feel upset however this is what you need. This is how you will test yourself and get rid of my insecure AJ." He chuckles at her nickname.
"Shut up." She hits him.
"This opportunity will be good for you. Don't worry about us we will be looking out for each other." He assures her.
"You promise." She looks into his eyes to witness if he is unsure.
"I promise."
AJ snuggles into him. "You know you can always come back to our school if you don't like it." Jack acknowledge rubbing her hair.
"I know." She smiles.
"Excuse me everyone." AJ stands to announce her decision. "This decision is one of the hardest decision I have made. There are a lot of factors to consider that have affected my decision. Most important factor is me leaving my comfort zone. A wise boyfriend told me that I am insecure; insecure AJ is what he calls me." Jack makes a face at her as she giggles. "In most cases he is right because if I say completely it will boost his ego." Jack sticks out his tongue at that remark. "I appreciate him and my two brothers-" John and Randy raise their glasses. "-Who are always there with me to defend me. That works for me, but now since we are in High School, I should fine my own identity, my own strength to stand by myself. This opportunity will prove that I can stand on my own two feet; I don't need my brothers all the time. This will help me grow to be a young lady that my parents will be proud of." Her parents raise their glasses with a proud smile already proud of her perspective in this. "My comfort zone is here, but sometimes staying there will hurt me. I need to take a chance to prove I can be independent on my own. Also, if I don't like it I can always transfer back." She ends her speech. "Thank you for coming tonight." She appreciates.
Her parents stand up to hug her as John and Randy follows with Stacey afterwards, then John and Randy's parents. Finally, Jack is last to give her a big kiss to approve her decision.
Everyone is inside enjoying the night with Jack and AJ on the porch swing.
"It is out in the open, you have accepted." Jack acknowledge.
"I have, are you sure you are okay with this?" She is scared something might go wrong.
"To improve yourself, absolutely. We will video chat every night." He kisses her forehead.
"Hope so, I love you Jack." She kisses him.
"I love you too. If Kourtney or Becca or anyone else pursues you, you shut them down immediately." She orders.
"Yes my insecure AJ." He pecks her on the lips.
AJ mounts him as they start to make-out. The make-out session gets heated as AJ tries to pull his pants down.
"Not here, baby." He stops her.
"Why?" She pouts.
"Everyone is here and I don't want anyone to see you like that." He moves some hair away from her face aware of their surroundings being outside as well.
"My parents have." She says innocently.
"As a baby, so that doesn't count." He chuckles at her attempt.
"Fine." She huffs. "Promise me that this will work."
"I can't promise you that, but I can promise that I love you and no one compares to you." He pecks her lips.
"Will we be having a special night the day I get transfer?" She requests.
"I hope so just to let those smart guys that this girl is taken." Deep down he is my concern that AJ might find a guy who more compatible; intelligent wise.
"They are not as smart as you." She shuts down that idea.
"Oh, filling my ego to make me cave, nice try."
"Fine." She huffs.
"What we can do is head in my car and-" He wiggles his eyebrows.
"Let's go."
"Nope." Randy interrupts.
AJ blushes as she turns around. "Randy."
"You two before me… I was supposed no fair." He stomps his foot in a fit. First John and now AJ, it is so unfair in his opinion.
Jack and AJ chuckles. "Sorry man."
"I'll keep this secret if you make your famous steak for me." Randy requests.
"Me?" AJ inquires.
"No, Jack. I want your famous steak with mashed potatoes and vegetables." He lays down his terms.
"You have a deal." Jack accepts this condition, although he thought it would be worst terms.
"Carry on." He heads back inside.
AJ and Jack chuckle at Randy's fit.
