THE LOW, A JACK HARLOW FIC.

CHAPTER 15.

BEGIN.

Two weeks later.

"Get out of my ear mont." Jack glared as Mont compiled and did as he said while sucking his teeth, "you wasn't saying that last night!" Montero called out as Jack rolled his eyes, that barely even made sense.

Yet Solána sat at the other end of the couch and let out a laugh. She tightly closed her mouth as Jack sent her a really look. Then she rolled her eyes as if she remembered that he wasn't the boss of her and laughed again.

"Monty do we need to have a fight over my man?" Solána challenged calling out to no particular spot as Monetero came running back into the living room.

"Let's go! Get on your feet." Jack tried to pay attention to how dumb they were but his heart was racing from when Solána had called him her man. His mouth was dry and all he could do was stare at her in awe. Her hair was tied back in one of those claw clips and her outfit was an old t-shirt he leant her and some shorts.

He didn't realize until he heard a scream that they were fighting, "He's my boyfriend!" Solána yelled lightly as Montero made a choking sound even though his hand was only held in the back of his neck. Jack would've laughed if he didn't hear her say it.

They'd been together for a week but didn't label it. She said she loved him a week ago but they had no label. After she had to leave his house he barely had time to chill with her. And when he did she had no time for him. It was annoying.

What was even more annoying was the huge cock block Montero was being. But he was family and he was always invited even if he was third wheeling like it was a sport. Jack turned his red face to Solána as she looked at him. Usually she was tense or nervous and trying to hide it with confidence.

But now she was fully confident and strong with what she was saying. Jack smirked at the realization and got up from the couch. He cleared his throat, "Mont get off my girlfriend." He said strongly as she stared up at him with a smile. It was as if he was using the word as some sort of power.

Montero whined like he was going to cry, "she's on me!" He pleaded as she snapped out of it and let him go. Jack laughed heavily but really all he could focus on was the girl on the floor.

"I'm leaving! Since none of you want me here!" Montero said dramatically as a weight on Jacks chest finally lifted. Solána acknowledged the subtle change and grew hot. "Unless you guys want me to sta-"

Before he could finish his sentence they both snapped and shouted, "Leave" at the same time. Montero entered the room with his mouth wide open. "Wow jack after all we been through. Y'know the kids miss you, I can't believe this." Mont said dramatically as Solána let out a laugh and he kept a steady face as if he was only saying the truth.

As soon as Mont was out of the door Solána stood up. Jack was close to her now and could smell oranges, coconut and the cologne Mont was wearing on her skin. A part of him flinched, he wished she could smell like him instead. But he wasn't a jealous person.

Jack swept his thumb across the roundness of her bottom lip, "so you're my girlfriend huh?" He asked slowly as Solána stared up at him in wonder.

Every cell in her body was heated. A part of her regretted saying she was his girlfriend. What if he denied it? She would look stupid. But he didn't and she could tell he was enjoying it. Not more than her though.

"Yeah I guess I am." Solána answered but that wasn't good enough for him, the "I guess" was pressing into his mind and he wondered what she meant. "You guess?"

She nodded, "Yeah usually my boyfriend would kiss me by now-" she said trying to play around until Jack grabbed the slight angle of her jaw and kissed her until he lip felt raw. He ran out of breathe as he tugged the shirt that was his.

Solána should be used to the way her words affected him. He took everything she said seriously. If she felt that someone better, or some other boyfriend or him needed to kiss her he'd do it. That's how much he loved her. He kissed her again as he thought about it and she broke free with a laugh.

"Hm you're kissing me but Mont said you have kids.. interesting." She joked trying to get away from her flustered feelings but jack wasn't accepting it. He hadn't seen her all week and now she was his girlfriend, he didn't want to talk about Montero.

His blue eyes sealed onto hers and she tensed, he always had a look of piercing determination when she said he licked him. Jack neared her, looking into her brown eyes, "We should go upstairs." Solána nodded. She played with his hair as he smiled.

Jack nodded, "that feels good." He said as they walked upstairs into his room. It looked exactly the same as it did before. Solána remembered being in his room under his hospitality, crying to him- she flinched as she was reminded.

"You okay?" Jack said grabbing onto her face as she immediately relaxed and he smirked. "That's good to hear. You know we haven't seen each other in like a week right?" He confirmed as she nodded.

"Yeah you missed me" It was supposed to come off as blunt and confident but Jack didn't take it that way. He nodded and neared her, "Yeah... I missed my girlfriend." He kissed her neck gently as she made a noise underneath him.

"Did you miss me?" He asked pulling at his all black cotton t-shirt he gave her. She nodded trying to concentrate or something other than his touch, "I'm gonna need my shirt back.. can I have it?" He asked as she nodded a yes.

"Can I?" He imagined what would happen if she actually gave it back to him.

"Nah stop playing, I'm gonna get cold." Solána rolls her eyes and Jack laughs. He kisses the top of her forehead and looks her in the eyes.

"You're so perfect, I swear.." Jack mumbles under his breath as Solána chuckles. "I have to show you something" He blurts out before sitting on the bed and pulling out a dark black notebook that looked like it could be for songs. Solána grew excited, he was sharing his notebook with her.

She sat next to him in awe as he flipped the pages and held the notebook to his chest. He pulled up a page with a few notes on it. He looked at her deeply before trusting it in her hands, "it's just something I wrote." Solána had a feeling he knew she wouldn't turn the page. And he did.

Solána expected to read lyrics but instead it was some sort of writing in a paragraph form. Her eyes didn't read anything but the date. The week she met him at her performance at the bar. It was a diary entry.

Jacks heart was beating a mile a minute, his hands were almost shaking. If she didn't like what he said he was going to burn the book, maybe his house. He just left like if he wasn't vulnerable with Solána she might disappear forever. He never wanted to see that.

"I saw her tonight. She's always talking smack with that big mouth of her but damn when she sings. I thought I entered another dimension, she's so powerful it's insane. Everything about her is insane, she's so perfect. I wish I could know her and just be inside her mind a little. I feel like we're meant to be more than enemies who pass each other by. I want to be her friend and hold her hand or something. Or take her on a date and kiss her goodnight. I might be bugging, I just never felt like this before. It's feels dumb. Yeah the end."

Solána stared at the page wanting to know more. Because it was something he wrote about her before they even decided they were anything to each other. And technically she was guilty of doing that first because of her song. But he shared it to her on purpose. He trusted her fully. And she did too.

"Say something." Jack groaned uncomfortably from beside her as Solána realized she wasn't speaking. She laughed and Jacks face froze like he saw a ghost. "That... you really felt that way about me?" She asked even though it was clear as day. Jack nodded as she played with his hair again.

"When I wrote that I kept reading it over and over. Cuz I was tryna come up with song lyrics and your name kept coming up in my head. I just had to write down what I thought." Jack shrugged as if it were meaningless and he wasn't just about to panic about it.

Solána reached across him, holding his neck and kissing him rapidly as Jack laughed, "Damn, I need to start writing everything I feel about you huh?" Jack asked as Solána sucked her teeth but nodded anyways, "I don't think I can write about being bricked up-" Jack said before Solána slapped him across the shoulder.

"What I'm serious what if someone finds-" Jacks phone rang and he reached in his pocket for it. He moved from underneath her suddenly. The screen read a girls name. Something with a C. And before she knew it Jack was out of the room whispering a "hello"? Who was that?

Solána grew red with embarrassment. What was she doing here? Was he talking to someone else? Why would he? Her face grew red as she picked up her clothes and rushed out of the house.
