Chapter 29

They were sitting in the living room. There was a home cinema cause according to Jack, it was inadmissible that a house didn't have a home cinema. Rich people mehn...

Ana felt like it would be too impersonal. So for now, they were in the living room. Yes for now, because all Jack had done was chuckle when she tried to affirm herself. It was an adorable attempt.

They had ordered pizza after Ana's insistence. Jack had wanted to make something, according to him, light and healthy, but Ana was craving pizza. And she was going to have her goddamn pizza.

Jack had never seen someone be so insistent on a pizza so he had ordered, chuckling at her adorable expression. Yes, she was irritated but she still managed to be cute.

Ana was lying on Jack's chest and they were in the big sofa. It was comfy but Jack's chest was comfier. And he definitely wasn't complaining.

"Jack?" she called out when a comfortable silence lulled.

"Yeah?" Jack answered, looking down at her with his captivating and intense eyes.

Ana hesitated with her question. Then finally asked it, "What are we?" She really didn't want to ask this. But this limbo they were in was not at all pleasing. Ana needed that confirmation.

"I don't know. What do you think we are?" Jack asked. His tone was serious and Ana got scared for a while. Then she looked up and saw the expression on his face.

She let out a sigh of relief then turned to face him. She slapped his chest. "Jack! Stop teasing me!"

"Should I? Do you really want me to?" Jack asked, staring at her with those intense eyes of his.

Ana rolled her eyes. He was so fucking full of himself.

"What did I tell you about rolling your eyes?" Jack asked, then took her hand and pulled her to him. Ana shivered a little and widened her eyes unconsciously. It was evident that she was anticipating the kiss; her lips were already parted.

As they were about to kiss, the door bell rang. This was the second time in the day this shit had happened and Ana was ready to pull her hair out. What the hell? Was destiny against them or what?

Jack kissed her forehead and walked to the door. Ana was shamelessly staring at his ass and she had to admit, it was a nice one. It was toned and firm.

He came back a while after with the box of pizza in his hand. He stretched out his free hand and helped her stand.

"Where are we going to?" Ana asked.

"Just come," he said and pulled her up. She followed him and he took her to the kitchen. He placed the pizza on the marble countertop and held her face. He placed a kiss on her lips laid his chin on her head. Both of them were right there and there was no where else they would rather be.

"Don't think I have forgotten my question though," Ana said after a while.

"Ana, I want us to be more. I want us to be exclusive. And honestly, the word girlfriend wouldn't express the depths I want to reach with you. But since society asks for it, will you be my girlfriend?" Jack asked and Ana's eyes welled up.

She forced the tears away and nodded rapidly. He kissed her and for a while the pizza was forgotten...

Ana was back home. And Landon had passed by. They hadn't spent time with each other for a while so here they were.

"Why do you keep smiling?" Landon asked. He had a little idea behind his head. But he really didn't want to believe it. He was still holding on to that hope that Ana was going to be his.

"Oh you notice the small and stupidest shit," Ana replied with a small smile. It was obvious that she is as dying to confide in him. And she wanted him to actually ask.

"Nothing about you is small or stupid," he said and Ana blushed. Those words reminded her of Jack's words.

"Tell me Ana." His tone was a little bit stern. Ana looked at Landon with a frown but the frown didn't last. After all she was dying to tell someone about the previous day.

"Okay, so yesterday was so awesome," she started excitedly.

"Let me guess, you spent the day with Jack..." Landon said flatly and Ana frowned a little. What was his problem?

"Actually yeah I did. Landon are you okay?" Ana asked. They were friends. He could tell her anything.

"Yeah I'm perfectly fine. Why wouldn't I be? Go on. Tell me. What happened yesterday?" Landon asked. Stop asking me what's wrong, dammit. Can't you see I love you? Aren't I enough for you? Those were Landon's thoughts.

"Okay so you know how I always say the simplest shit is always the best? And how my dream date is a movie home with lots of junk food? Well Jack accomplished my dream yesterday. He is so sweet," Ana gushed and Landon forced a smile.

"You were at his place?" Landon asked. It was taking all he had not to hold Ana by her shoulders and ask her whether she was blind. Couldn't she see someone right in front of her? He loved her dammit. Why couldn't she fucking realize it?

"Yeah. I was. And guess what? We're dating exclusively now," she announced with a broad smile, expecting Landon to share her joy.

"Are you sure about him?" Landon asked and Ana nodded rapidly.

"I am! I've never been so sure," Ana answered.

"If you're happy then I'm happy," he said then hugged her and kissed her head and forehead. Then he drew back and asked, "Have you told him about the baby yet?"

Ana shook her head slowly. "Please don't lecture me. I'm going to tell him. Let's get to know each other better"

Landon nodded then said, "I love you Ana and I want you to be happy."

Ana said thank you, I love you too, not getting the double meaning to that sentence. She truly was oblivious…
