Chapter 8 - An Explanation

Jack's POV

I woke up to a very angry Conor standing next to me.

"Shit! What happened?"

"I don't know, how about you tell me. Because it looks to me like you bedded your roommate of only knowing her for ONE DAY!" I was going to explain myself until I heard.

"Actually Conor, I was the one who wanted Jack to sleep next to me, and I'd like you two to keep your voices down. I bet the neighbors can hear you." Maggie casually got up and left the room. Conor and I just shrugged at each other.

Maggie's POV

I walked into the kitchen yawning and made myself a cup of coffee.

"Sorry for waking you." I looked up to see an embarrassed Conor in front of me.

"It's alright, you were only looking out for me." We smiled and I gave him a hug.

"How was the club last night?" I asked while sipping my drink.

"Oh, yeah, it was good. Not much happened though." I nodded and went to check on Jack. When I entered his room, I saw that he'd fallen back asleep and he was drooling on his pillow. I took a picture and posted it on instagram, the caption being:

@JackMaynard So cute, when you're not talking💖

I would've watched him all day if it wasn't for the urge to start a pillow fight. So, me being me, I threw the biggest pillow onto his head.

"HOLY SHIT WHAT HAPPENED?!" He woke immediately. "Hahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahhaha!!!" I was on the floor laughing at his reaction.

"You sly little fox." Jack said as he slowly rose up. At that moment, Conor came in and said,

"I think we need to teach this girl a lesson Jack."

Oh God no,

Both boys grabbed pillows and tackled me.

"NO! AAAAAH! STOP I SURRENDER!" I put my arms up in defeat.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP! SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!" All three of us looked at each other and laughed amongst ourselves.

"Sounds like Josh didn't have much fun last night." I said with a laugh.

"Yep, he was blackout drunk." Conor said.

"SHUT UP! I WAS NOT!" Josh shouted.

"Oh reaaallyy? On the uber ride home you tried to kiss me!" Josh didn't say anything after that, which made us all laugh.

*buzz buzz*

Zo Zo💅:Hey Mags! Just wondering if you wanted to go out with me and Joe soon?

Little Devil😈: Hey Zo, sure, what time?

Zo Zo💅: I can come over to your place if you want?

Little Devil😈: Sure! See you soon then😘

Zo Zo💅: Bye

I locked my phone and got ready for the day.

Jack's POV

I peeked my head into Maggie's room.

"What're you up to?" She looked up at me and smiled.

"Just getting ready to go out with Joe and Zoe." I nodded.

"Cool, what time do you think you'll be back by?"

"Uh, about 6 ish, why?"

"That's too long! I'll miss you, and I have nothing to do today."

"Oh stop whining, I can ask Zoe if you can come if you'd like?"

"Yes please." With that, I gave her a kiss on the head and left her room.

Little Devil😈: Hey Zo, can Jack come too?

Zo Zo💅: Of course! I'll be there in 5 minutes.

Little Devil😈: Great.

Maggie's POV

When I finished getting ready, I walked out into the sitting room to see all three of the boys on their phones. I huffed

"WAKE UP BOYS!" They all jumped in their seats which made me laugh. Conor covered his ears, Josh dropped his phone and Jack slid off the couch. "Jesus fucking Christ woman!" Conor said.

"Josh, pick up your phone, Conor get your hands off your ears and Jack get up, we're going out." The boys looked at me in surprise. When none of them said anything, I walked towards the door. When I opened it I motioned for Jack to come with.

"Mr. Maynard, let's go!"

"Right! Yeah! I'm off boys, see you later." We waved to the boys and left the flat. We both stood on the curb waiting for Zoe to show up.

"Jack, I can practically feel you staring at me. What is it?"

"Uh, I was just looking at how beautiful you are."

"Ha! You're one to talk! Look at you, with your blue eyes, hot blonde hair, that nose ring and how I can go hours and hours talking about you." Before I could say anything else, Jack had smashed his lips on mine again. Before we could pull apart, I heard a car honk at us. It was Zoe with Joe.

"Fucks sake." I grabbed Jacks hand and pulled him towards the car.

"Oooooh!! Is it getting hot in here or not!" Zoe laughed. My cheeks were on fire.

"Uh yeah, can we just go?" I begged. "Okaaaayyyyy." Zoe winked at me from the front mirror.

Joe's POV

NOT GOOD. NOT GOOD. NOT GOOD.

Maggie's only been at the boys place for less than a day and Jack has already made her his target. When it comes to women, Jack is a complete Player. I'm not letting Maggie get her heart broken by this player.

Maggie's POV

Once all four of us had gotten to the shopping mall, Joe pulled me to the side. "Hey Maggie, can I talk to you for a second?" He seemed worried about something.

"Oh, of course." I replied uneasily. "Joe, what's wrong?" I needed to find out what he was hiding from me.

"I'm warning you about Jack." I looked at Joe with complete confusion.

"Warning? What do you mean warning?"

"You need to stay away from Jack. He'll break your heart. He only uses women for sex. It's a one-time thing with him."

Joe's POV

Once I'd finished, she looked at me like I had 3 heads.

"Maggie? Say something." She was really worrying me now.

"Joe, I get that you're trying to look out for me, but I can make my own decisions. If liking him is going to be a trap, then I'm willing to step into this trap." With that, she stepped out and joined Zoe and Jack.

Fine, if she doesn't want to listen to me. Then fine, but I'm still going to look out for her.

Maggie's POV

I couldn't believe that Joe was being this way! If I'm happy with Jack, then I can be with him! Why does he have to come into this?

"Where were you?" Jack asked nervously.

"Nowhere, Joe was just talking to me about making a collab soon." I lied.

"Okay?" I could tell that Jack knew I was lying, but he didn't push it. I held his hand and started following Zoe since she was our 'Guide'.
