Would he be different towards you right now if the boys weren't around? Would he be more flirty? Does he even like you like that? Are you one of the boys now or does he view you as a woman he's interested in? Does he even expect anything to happen on this trip or did he just feel like getting out of the city with somebody who's just as spontaneous as him?

What the hell is this thing with him and you?

The answer to a few of your questions becomes more clear once Bene and Tim fall asleep in the backseat and all of a sudden it's really just you and Jacob who are still awake. 

Jacob randomly checks the rearview mirror when he starts to smirk, nudging you. You look up from your phone confused, looking at him questioningly while Jacob just wordlessly points to the back. 

You turn to the backseat and can't help but giggle about the two wasted boys, leaning hunched over in their seats. 

Benes head is glued to the window and he looks so innocent with his wild curls and a slight frown. Tims head is leaning on the backrest and he's snoring quietly with his mouth half open.

"Yo get that on camera", Jacob tells you amused, pulling his phone from the center console without taking his eyes off the road. He holds it in front of his face for a second to unlock it before handing it to you. 

"Okay", you laugh, taking his iPhone and searching for the camera app on his phone screen. 

You feel a little special. The fact that he's handing you his phone just like that feels like a small proof of him trusting you. 

You record the boys with a sneaky smile, zooming in on each of their faces for a few seconds before pointing the camera back to the front where Jacob is driving. Once he notices you filming him he smiles into the camera, doing a peace sign. 

You smirk, stopping the video. 

"Wait let me take a selfie with us all", you suggest amused. "You sure you can get us all in there?" "Woah let's see", you giggle while trying to hold the phone in front of you in an angle where you're able to see Jacob and yourself, plus the boys behind you. 

"It works with wide angle. Ahh there we go", you smile triumphantly and you both laugh quietly to yourselves, tilting your heads towards each other while posing for the pictures. 

"That's a real cute family picture if you ask me", you comment while looking at the photo again and Jacob laughs, glancing over to you before focusing back on the road. "Can I send that to myself?", you ask him, since you're already holding his phone in your hand and he just nods "Sure go ahead"

So you open his Whatsapp and without stalking him about who else he's texting you select his chat with you, which is almost at the top of his recents anyways. You don't want to invade his privacy in any unnecessary way. 

That only works up until that moment when you want to select the photos from his camera roll to send to yourself. And your thumb stops when your gaze falls on his recent photos that are still visible to you. 

Fuck. 

It's just small images but you immediately recognize his body, pictures from his defined abs, that v line in his rather low sitting sweatpants and the waistband of his boxers. 

It would be impossible not to look at it. 

Jacob glances over to you sitting with his phone on your lap. That's when he remembers the photos he took of himself this morning and mentally scolds himself. He notices your eyes lingering on these exact pictures and he tries to cover up the situation with humor. 

"It's alright, you can send these to yourself as well. Will Last longer" 

At first you look up at him speechless and then you laugh in disbelief. 

"I think you're a bit mental", you strike back caught, shoving him softly and he laughs. 

You quickly finish selecting the pictures from the boys and you to send them to yourself, before locking his phone with a beating heart. 

"Now that I think about it tho I actually should", you think out loud in front of him, "And then leak em", you look at him playfully contemplating, "Oh wait, you can't leak something that's already all over the internet"

For now he's the speechless one, smiling in surprise and you laugh triumphantly. "Aye", he warns you, lifting his index finger, "Another statement like that and I'll abandon you at the next gas station" "oooooh", you still giggle mischievously, "Like a cardboard box of baby kittens" 

Jacob shoots you a look and then he can't stay serious himself. He starts to laugh, reaching over to you to try to tickle you with one hand. First he pinches you in the belly, then into your thigh and you squeak in surprise, pushing his hand away from you after a short struggle. 

Even though you have to admit his hand feels pretty good on your thigh. 

"Hands on the steering wheel, captain", you scold him, "Or this will have a tragic ending". He amusedly shakes his head, biting his Lip as he fully focuses on the road again.

The tension between you is back suddenly. 

Just like that.

Like somebody flipped a switch. 

Jacobs jaw tenses while he taps onto the steering wheel with his fingers. "No worries by the way", he says casually, tilting his head while looking over to you, "I keep my nudes in a different folder" 

You look at him a bit flabbergasted at first. 

Then you start to smirk sheepishly, shaking your head. 

Well thanks for the image that you now have in your head. 

"Good for you", you reply just as casually, "I hope it's password-protected. Heard that's key when you have an iPhone"
