(A/N: So it isn't the end yet... um... hey, look at the time, I should probably get going! Cliffhangers are awesome! ¡Chao!)
Jackie had never once seen Heath so smitten - maybe he had found someone other than Abbey. She thought this over, somewhat glancing at the young man in front of her. She would have to say something eventually, or would get more awkward then it already was.
"So... how's life been for you?" Jackie asked, finally looking up from the dining table in which she sat at her favorite restaurant. She felt her heart flutter a bit, but she pushed this aside with conversation.
But their past together was too hard to forget.
Jackson Jekkyll - half normie, now successful, and sitting across from his old friend Jackie - smiled nervously. Now that the two had seen each other other than at work, everything was different.
No, Jackson wasn't a model, not even in his wildest dreams. But he was lucky enough to have one as his date.
For the occasion, Jackson had gelled his bangs in place, them still being dark brown with blonde lowlights, and he wore his favorite tie. Nothing much had changed about him since long ago. But Jackie, however, well, Jackson had quite a few things he could say about her.
Instead of being flat-chested and overly skinny, Jackie seemed to be filled in, in all the right places, too. She was definitely not flat-chested anymore, and she had gained enough weight to look fuller, but exquisitely skinny all at once. In other words, she was beauty packed all into one life form.
Jackie had also taken the time to dye her hair back to its natural hair color - green. Jackson really liked it that way, in fact, he had persuaded all the companies she had modeled for them to not dye her hair. He thought it suited her well.
But instead of making it seem like he was checking her out, Jackson answered Jackie's question. "I'm fine."
Jackie chuckled lightly, toying with a piece of her hair. "That's good... I wouldn't want you to be bored or anything... hehehe..."
Jackson smiled lightly, he enjoyed the small amounts of time he had with Jackie. At least Holt hadn't gotten in the way this time.
Jackson knew that Jackie absolutely loathed Holt. His other half had broken her heart one too many times in the past, and Jackson was just learning about it now.
However, Jackson ignored the fact, and just attempted to have a decent chat with his friend. "Hey, don't worry about me. You're the star of this whole... date."
Jackie smiled. She didn't get to hear that often. "Thanks for being cool about it, but I want this to be my treat for you. You're the best agent a ghoul could have."
"You're the best model an agent could have."
Jackie rested her head upon her hands. "You know I could go on with this all day, right?"
Jackson chuckled. "That's why I'm stopping now. Do you want dessert, or should I just pay the guy?"
Jackie raised an eyebrow. "I think this should be enough for one night... or one week, actually."
Jackson furrowed his eyebrows, knowing of Jackie's eating disorder. He was concerned about the topic, but didn't nag her about it because it was a night for her to enjoy, and, anyways, they were out in public. Everyone in the restaurant didn't need to know.
Jackson set the correct amount of money on the table, and the two set off towards the door. Jackie turned to her companion. "Thanks for taking me out to eat. Y'know you didn't need to do that, right?"
The normie nodded his head. "Yeah, I know. But you deserved it. Do you wanna, perhaps, do something else, or are you done for the night? Because I can easily drive you back to your house if you want."
The young lady stifled a chuckle, causing a goofy smile to speak across her face. Jackson obviously cared that much. "You're too sweet. See, this is exactly why I didn't need dessert. Let's go to that new bookstore, I hear they have that book your looking for."
Jackson smiled at Jackie, she knew what he liked. "That sounds cool. So, shall we get going to the car?"
Jackie nodded her head in agreement, entwining her fingers with his. She definitley knew exactly what Jackson liked.
