summer considered herself lucky. literally the last person in the world was willing to give her the time that she needed. and very cool about it. but he knew how to get her heart racing all at the same time. all of a sudden jackson had spun her around so that her back was to him, and felt his hands on his hips. she giggled, feeling the breath on her ear. “wait six feet? damn that’s far.” she pouted. the her hips followed his along to the beat of the music. she grinned as his arms wrapped around her. still the same sarcastic asshole she’d always known. “you’ve always been bad at timing keno.” she smiled before spinning herself around and pulling herself into his chest. “but i can seperate my work and personal life.” she scrunched her nose, leaning in to his lips, to barely, touch them, yet just as qucikly, pulled away. “i don’t think mormon’s do that on the first date.” she sighed, taking one of his hands and rubbing the back. “do mormons invite you for one more drink before you walk them back to their place? or have sleepovers at yours?” to be honest, summer never met a mormon, but she had a good idea….sort of.

jackson couldn’t help but smile at her comment about the six feet, then laughing at her mention of his bad timing.  feeling her pull herself away and then closer to him, he felt their lips touch and let his eyes close before she pulled away, his eyes opening to stare at her for a moment.  “do we even know what mormons really do? cause I don’t, and I don’t think you do either. how do we know they don’t do that on a first date?” he smiled brightly before shrugging his shoulders and opening the door. “I don’t see why not. i’m sure they drink all the time, anyway.” he lead her inside and up to the bar, sort of happy that gabe wasn’t still sitting there.  he didn’t feel bad about the dance off, that was bound to happen. however, he did feel bad if the guy had actual feelings for summer. as far as he knew, they didn’t know each other. especially based off the fact that summer couldn’t even get his name right. still, he wasn’t one to rub something into someone else’s face. wrapping his arm around her waist, he smiled at the bartender, “one gin and tonic, and whatever she’s having.” he handed his card over as summer ordered, then sat in the barstool closest to them and pulled her in between his legs. “so this sleeping thing. we’re taking it slow, so cuddling. that’s all i’ll allow. do you have a comfy bed?” jackson believed that sleep could solve all problems and had, therefore, invested in a very nice mattress. but if she was more comfortable at her place, he wouldn’t complain one bit. “i will walk you wherever you want to go.”

summer didn’t show a lot of emotion, especially with how she was brought up. yet…here she was. some how so vulnerable to jackson. and she could tell emotions were so bottled up in her. she thought she could bottle them down…but he broke that barrier with her. somehow she let him in, even if he was quite aggressive. but jackson was quick to shut her up in the best way possible, by kissing her. and she let herself just melt into his arms. and deep in his kiss. and it was just nice to forget everything just once. and him soon, holding her, saying all the right words. as cheesy as it was, she felt like a fairytale. that someone was actually here to sweep her off her feet, and genuinely be with her. and from the last person she would ever believe. “wow.” she managed to say somehow, before she burst into a fit of giggles when jackson said he didn’t have any friends. “you’re so impossible.” she laughed, something she needed right about now. summer let out a small sigh, before walking up to jackson, giving him a kiss on the cheek. “thank you.“ she sighed, giving him a small smile. “i wish i could say yes. i wish i could just forget everything but…” she started saying, feeling those emotions again. but she stiffed her upper lip and reached for his hand. “i need something else right now. if i just jump into something right now i don’t know what’ll happen. i don’t know what i’ll do. can we just…chill for a bit? somehow. i don’t know, learn how to…get a long?” she couldn’t help but laugh at their previous banter they constantly did. “i’m not talking anything too bad, cause i’m not stupid you’re an awesome kisser keno….just take it slow? like…mormons on a first date at a church barbeque kind of slow?”

jackson couldn’t help but smile at her laughter, glad he was able to get her mind off of things for a moment. then came the but. he knew it would come, especially with how... sudden this all was. feeling her hand take his, he gave her a smile, gently kissing her hand and nodding his head. then he laughed at her comparison. mormons on a date. not one he had heard before, but he knew exactly what she meant. “sure thing, chadwick. we can take things slow, like mormons or whatever.” taking her hand, he spun her before pulling her back to him, her back to his torso. “i do have one question,” he breathed into her ear, his hands on her hips. “when we’re dancing, do we have to go back to elementary classes, making sure we’re always six feet apart or whatever?” he moved her hips to the beat of the music from inside before pushing her forward slightly and spinning her to face him, throwing her arms into the air before placing his arms around her waist. “i’m all for moving slow, but that could seriously effect the dances we’ve got coming up.” he winked at her with a shit-eating grin on his face, knowing full well that wasn’t what she was talking about, but glad he got an excuse to dance with her, instead of against her.

“oh don’t bring my trust issues in on this. one too many guys have done exactly what you’re doing.” summer said. but then his words actually shut her up for once as she listened. and dare she say, jackson was being genuine with his words. there was no gameplay in this. there was no hint of sarcasm or joking around. this was….just him. but she had thought of this before, with others who just want a night in bed with crazy summer. and then brag about it the next day. she expected it from jocks and assholes she’s been with. but not from jackson, and that’s what scared her…and that’s what hurt. “you were jealous?….of gavin?” she asked, in disbelief. “you can’t just…but i am…wait but….UGH!” she grunted loudly, stomping her foot. “stop making me the bad guy jackson, you always do that!” she whined crossing her arms. “well what if i do open up, huh? what if i tell you that yeah, i like you too. that all this shit i do, all our bickering, and this stupid game we play….is cause i like when you are frustrated cause you look super hot when you scrunch your eyebrows! that i think you’re crazy talented at dancing and that you make me a better dancer when we dance! that yeah, i purposely brought garret here to make you jealous! i wanted him to touch me, and kiss me, just so you would watch and keep paying attention to me. ugh it didn’t even work cause he can’t dance.” summer made a frustrated moan. “what else are you gonna try and force out of me now. you wanna talk about how i have major daddy issues cause i was basically raised by my over protective brothers and they all tried to control every aspect of my life? that every other guy who has told me what you just did, bragged about it to their friends after i slept with them? like….god what do you want from me?” summer stiffed her upper lip, and battled to keep her eyes from tearing up. but she couldn’t help some tears from falling.

jackson paused at the door as she started, and then she didn’t stop. he was jealous of gabe (though now he wasn’t sure what his name was) because he had the opportunity to do everything jack wanted to do to summer. as he listened, his eyebrows furrowed, and he only realized it when she brought it up and he immediately tried to stop it, running his fingers across the lines before he turned fully towards her and took a step forward, wrapping his arm around her waist and kissing her, mainly because he wanted too, but also because he knew she’d stop talking.  slowly pulling back, he ran a finger under her eye, catching some of the tears before brushing the hair behind her ear. “summer, I...” he was going to say how he couldn’t believe she thought so low of him, but now wasn’t the time or place.  “I’m jealous because you already have my attention. you don’t need some guy whose name you don’t even know to do that.” he gave her a small smile before taking a small step back, not wanting to overwhelm her with what he knew was already an overwhelming situation. hell, he was overwhelmed, so he could only imagine how she was feeling. “i don’t want anything from you, nothing that you haven’t already given me. i want a shot, yeah. i want to give us a try. i also know you’ve been through a lot, i get it. i mean... you’ve told me, so i understand there’s a lot there. and if it takes a lifetime for you to be able to trust i won’t treat you like those other guys, then fine. i’ll wait.”  taking a breath, he shrugged his shoulders, “besides, you can trust me.” he hesitated a moment before softly chuckling, “i don’t have any friends to brag to, anyway. besides you. and we can’t risk inflating that ego of yours.” he winked, hoping he could at least get a small smile from her.

now all hot and bothered, summer walked through the crowd and to the bar trying to find her date. her lips buzzed and burned from her kiss, but tried to focus on the task at hand…whether she remembered his name or not. suddenly she felt someone restrain her arm, she spun around to see the culprit of her kiss, jackson, standing before her. “ugh jackson. i get it you won. no need to rub it in.” she groaned. but his words shocked her. at first she rolled her eyes, before crossing her arms to listen to what he had to say. but what he said, everything about her, her body, and how she brings out the best and worst in him. about her challenging him. everything he said…was the right thing. because it was the exact same way she felt. at first, she looked dumbfounded, almost love struck at him. but then a horrible thought hit her. summer and jackson were notorious for playing games on each other. heck the start of that kiss was a game before it became something else. and when he said he liked her, she couldn’t help but believe that she was still part of this game. and it was a cruel one. “wow, you’re such a jerk.” she spat, clenching her jaw. but she realized they needed to be somewhere they can actually talk. she took his wrist now, dragging him to a back patio, where most people went to hang out. but she knew that with all the battles going on, it would be empty. just like she predicted, the patio was completely empty, as she pulled jackson out there. “you know it’s one thing to gloat about some stupid dance battle. or even try and shame me for going out with some guy. but i never pegged you for the asshole who plays with people’s feelings just to get a laugh.” summer spat, kind of yelling at him. “i knew you were a sore loser but that is a new level of low.”

summer seemed happy at first, receptive, despite here thinking at first he was trying to rub the win in. the exact opposite, though. he was tired of the constant battles, of them always fighting each other and trying to one up each other. “a... jerk? what i just said... what?” before he could get an answer out of her, she was pulling him to the back patio, him willingly following because what the hell? she thought he was a jerk? that certainly wasn’t what he meant for her to think, and he thought his words were sweet. they made it to the patio, which was, as suspected, empty. before he could even think about asking her something, she was going off in typical summer fashion.  he listened to her words, at first incredibly confused and sad, but then he was angry. he held back the anger, though it was difficult. “summer, you distrust me... people, so much that you think...” he crossed his arms, let them dropped, crossed them again before letting them hang at his side, shoving his hands into his pockets. “i’m not playing with you. i’m not saying this because you lost or because of some stupid dance. i did it because i saw you with some guy, and i hated that you were dancing with him and not me. i hated the thought of him touching you, or kissing you, or...” shaking his head, he shrugged his shoulders. “if you really think i’m that awful of a person, then fine. that’s not the case though, summer.” he tried to keep his head from bowing, but it hurt. it hurt that she genuinely thought that low of him. “some day you’re gonna open up. and i’ll be here, waiting.”

suddenly, the music got slower, jackson came up and summer was simply…weak. in her head all she heard was the song and she was fallen to jackson. she moved along to his rhythm, his beat, as he flew her along the dance floor. she followed his steps, and submitted to all his decisions and went along. and her last straw was when she was spun into the air and over his shoulder, and let her down gently as he held on to one of her legs. her heart rate spiked as the music continued around thm, and they were but centimeters apart…in front of everyone. so he wants a show? well he’s gonna get one. she thought to herself. summer didn’t know what came over her. whether it was the hot atmostphere, their closeness, the audience’s loud cheers. but she grabbed both sides of jackson’s face, and kissed him….and it was good. something electic. maybe the years of sexual tension rising between them. maybe their utter attraction they both had. but that kiss….was something else. the cheer of the audience turned into awehs and oohs, before she broke the kiss herself. and then there went her realization of what actually happened, and that’s when she broke it. “okay you win. cool or whatever.” summer said quickly as she patted his chest, then spinning around and headed toward the crowd, going to find….garth…or whatever his name was….hoping to get the kiss out of her mind. 

while he expected summer to go with things and dance with him, he didn’t expect her to kiss him. he returned it, of course, a smile forming on his face as she broke it off.  he gently let her feet touch the ground and let her step back. her words left him... stunned.  she spun and left the crowd, the music still going on and a new duo engaging in what he knew wouldn’t be as good of a battle as theirs was. jack had people asking him questions, gathering around him but he pushed his way through the crowd and followed after summer, gently grabbing her hand and pulling her back, “summer, wait.”  he let her hand go and allowed her some space if she really did want to leave, but he felt that he needed to explain. “that wasn’t what that was about. sure, at first, kicking your ass was all I had in mind, but...” he took a small step forward, keeping his hands to himself, “you bring something out of me. something that is... competitive, yeah, but also..” jack shrugged his shoulders, “summer, I’m attracted to you. to your stubbornness, your shortness, your... body, the way that you move yourself, the way you control yourself and you know who you are. you challenge me, you push me, sometimes beyond my limit. but summer... “ he rolled his eyes, now feeling like an idiot. too late to go back now. “i like you.”

jack-ofall-trades​:

jack laughed as summer continued to dance, not even slightly phased by this move.  she wasn’t one to back down, even when someone got in her way. he liked that about her. “well, maybe if you called them by their name, they’d listen to you.”  he took his step back, knowing full well that, as the music began to change, the battle was just beginning. at ballo, everything was a dance battle, but the battles only officially began when the lights got a little dimmer, the music changed pace constantly, and only snippets were played, usually 30-45 seconds long. rarely were they in the middle of the bar, and this was no different. her dancing was impressive, he was the first to admit that. he could hold his own, however, and was rarely one to lose a battle. as her dance came to an end, he walked in, feigning to brush some dust off her shoulder. “that’s cute, but it’s 2021 now, Summer. it’s time to freshen those moves up a little bit.” bowing slightly, he took a step back, starting his battle. 

summer had to admit, jackson was an awesome dancer. she’s lucky to have him as a partner….not that he ever needed to know that. and heck he might just win this if it was anyone else…but not if summer chadwick had any say about it. “looks like it’s time to heat things up a bit.” she said, just as the song came on to a latin beat. and she knew exactly what to do to get his attention…and completely on his nerves. summer completely laid out her 30 second routine on the dance floor. she could hear the crowd cheer for her. and as she pulled out way sexier moves than was expected, and the crowd’s roar confirmed she has them where she wants them. more importantly, where she wants jackson. she made her way straight to him as part of her routine, and used him as her own personal prop, just to get a rise out of him. her routine ended with a back bend, and then her face incredibly close to his. “you gonna do something about that?” she panted, only enough for him to hear, but the condescending tone was loud enough.

[jack-ofall-trades]

Cheers erupted around them as her moves got a little lower to the ground, a little faster, and a lot more arousing. She used him as a prop, which opened up a whole other door for them, and worked out perfectly for him.  As the music took on a slower beat, Jack too a hold of Summer’s hand a pulled her to him quickly, wrapping his arm around her waist to keep her from pulling back or leaving.  The room got quiet as everyone watched, but his words were only for her.  “Sometimes you have to stop and smell the roses, Chadwick. Don’t move the beat, let the beat move you.”  He gave her a smug grin as he spun her out, letting her hand slip out of his as he moved into the dance. similar to her, he moved around her, slowly beginning to incorporate her into his dance more and more as the beat of the song picked up a little more. he manipulated her body with his moves, gentle enough that she could step back if she wanted too, but he knew she wouldn’t. that would be a sign of weakness, and god forbid she show that.  his last move spun her up slightly, one of her legs over his arm as he slowly let her foot touch the ground, their faces mere centimeters apart. the music continued around them, the crowd going wild for a seemingly mediocre dance that was meant purely for her.  “how was that for something?”

jack-ofall-trades​:

jack was having the time of his life, dancing various battles, choosing various partners, enjoying what he enjoyed most away from the computer. he had seen summer come in with gabe, laughing with how awkward it already looked. additionally, a circle formed around the two, gabe being probably the clumsiest dancer he’d seen outside of the littles’ dance studio. “yo, jack, careful where you’re dancing.” a buddy of his raised his voice over the music, bringing jack back to where he was. “sorry, man.” his buddy nodded towards summer, who was now alone as gabe walked away, jack knowing this was his moment. “how’s it going over here, summer? seems you aren’t quite the teacher you thought you were.” he smiled, joking only slightly. 

@summerdcys​

so her date, was leaving for a drink….but if she were honest he wasn’t a good dancer anyway. “no problem gavin!” summer called out as she continued dancing on her own. and soon people were standing aroun to just watch her…how she liked it. but her spotlight was interrupted when jackson walkedup to her…once again ruining the mood. “ugh you’re killing my vibe keno.” she rolled her eyes, yet she didn’t stop dancing… no one could make her do that. “i’m an amazing teacher. i just need amatures with potential…. like you.” a few people around her reacted with an “ohhhhhh” just as she looked around the circle had gotten wider. which at ballo could only mean one thing. “try to keep up.” she winked, pushing him back slightly so she was the one to dance. this would be a battle they both had been waiting for.

summer raised an eyebrow before she snatched the phone back from jack to look at gabe’s text. ugh great. just what she needed, but she wasn’t gonna let that keep her down. she smirked before texting him back. “don’t worry. i’m a fantastic teacher. and extremely flexible.” she said, reading her texts outloud, and smirking over at jackson. “wouldn’t you like to know.” she said, putting the phone back in her pocket. “but if you want to stop at ballo, come say hi to me and….” she paused for a second, trying to remember his name “abe……” she said unsure. “you’re more than welcome to. we all know you can’t stand a chance against me anyways.”

both were accurate statements, but jack knew she was fishing for him to say that.  “hmm, ballo, alright summer.”  then she paused. poor kid. had no idea what he was getting into.  walking towards the door, he pushed it open before turning back to her, “it’s gabe. he’s actually a really nice guy. super friend zoned. just... go easy on him.” he stared at here for a moment longer before he turned out of the studio, contemplating if he needed a date or not. 

[jack-ofall-trades]

summerdcys​:

summer made a deep scowl. he was testing her, he always pulled stuff like that. it was like playing a game of chicken, who would break first. well it was definitely not going to be summer. “what do you care? you’re not my partner anymore….remember?“ she exaggerated, before pulling out her phone and texting the guy she last talked to…besides jack. “and you know what? i hope he tires me out. ”it’s about time i start dancing with a real man. anyways.” she mumbled before pressing send and showing him the phone, with her knowing exactly where she was going.

right, not partners. how many times had they made that threat to each other? more than he could count. and the amount of times they’d followed through? zero. zip. zilch. nada. taking her phone, he looked at the person, seeing his responses as they came in. “gabe says he can’t dance. i’m sure you’ll be fine.” he winked at her before handing the phone back and crossing his arms. “what’s that special place? wouldn’t happen to be the place go every weekend, would it?” they’d gone a few times before, this gnarly dance club where legit dance battles and competitions happened. saturday was his time to let loose, not follow anyone’s choreo besides his own. of course that’s where she’d take this new boy.

summerdcys​:

“woah woah woah! are you serious right now?” summer huffed before running in front of him, preventing him from leaving. “you’re seriously gonna walk out on me right now because i asked for a break? if that’s what this is you’ve got some serious priority issues.” she huffed with her arms crossed. great, she was about to lose him as a dance partner, and she had to act quick. she rolled her eyes and pulled out her phone dramatically. “and you know what, i’m gonna go out again tonight! after a nap. i could’ve been practicing with you to reschedule. but now i’m gonna find a date cause you were an asshole to me.” she stuck her tongue out before looking through who she could invite out tonight.

jack rolled his eyes as he stopped in his tracks, raising an eyebrow as he watched her.  “summer, you asked for us tot cut it short, then insulted me. you... I...” sighing, he crossed his arms as she pulled out her phone. a... date? he wasn’t surprised that. she could just call someone up on the spot. she was attractive, sexy, intelligent, hard-working. he gave her shit and got annoyed,  but he would be the last to deny anyone would be lucky to have her in their life. “wow, real mature, summer.  sure, go on your date, get exhausted and have just as hard of a time tomorrow.  that is fine by me. “  he stared at her, nodding down at her phone, waiting to see if she’d actually do it. 

[jack-ofall-trades]

summerdcys​:

summer was pretty taken a back what jack said. very aggressive. very…sexy. but was she gonna let him get away with it? absolutely not. “Oh boo hoo, i had fun last night and i’ve upset the poor asshole jackson. give me a break.” she rolled her eyes, taking another sip of wated. “i’m sorry i went out after celebrating the game instead of locking myself in all night.” secretly, she had wished she ran into jackson last night, but not that she would ever tell him that. “and what, you’re mansplaining how i celebrate my nights? and how i manage my time? well let me tell you something.” she said dramatically pointing her finger at him, and scrunching her nose. “i’m not put on this planet to be boring or to let some man boss me around. i went out, had fun, got laid and still dance circles around you. so you don’t have a right to tell me what i’m doing wrong.”

jackson laughed. full blown laughed.  “i don’t care what you do in your spare time, summer. but when it effects me and my livelihood, then i have a problem.” standing up, jackson walked over to where summer was sitting and grabbed his bag, putting it on. “just forget it. i’ll ask for a new partner tomorrow or i’ll just make it a solo. i don’t need my time wasted by a prissy cheerleader who thinks she can get away with anything by batting her eyelashes.” he was a sucker when she did that, but she didn’t need to know.  was he being harsh, probably, but she was being... exactly how she always was and being the same girl he had fallen for years ago.

[summerdcys]

no. she was not attracted to jack. she was not attracted to jack. she was not attracted to jack……ok that’s just what she had to keep telling herself. but she couldn’t help the closeness between the two of them, when they were set to be dance partners for class. which they were currently practicing. summer hella hungover, but still trying. “listen…” she said in the studio, as she went for her waterbottle on the floor to drink. “i cheered a whole game yesterday….and came home late this morning….anyway we can cut this short? i know you need work…but i’m good right?”

@jack-ofall-trades​

[jack-ofall-trades]

summer was... less than usual. In almost every sense of the statement.  Not less beautiful, and not less annoying, but less whiney. he was back in their starting position, about to hit play on the music when he noticed summer wasn’t next to him and rather, on the floor across the studio.  loosing at her, he raised an eyebrow. ahh, there’s the whiney part of her that he didn’t particularly enjoy.  then she insulted him. alright, he spoke too soon. she wasn’t less anything. “really, summer? what, you drink too much less night? a little hungover? if you just had some water in between your drinks..” he rolled his eyes as he leaned against a post and slid to the ground, shrugging his shoulders. “if you don’t care, whatever. you can leave. but for the record, you’re not good. at least not to your normal standards. maybe you’re spreading yourself a little thin...”

33: Do you have trust issues?

as a dancer, there is no room for having trust issues. as a team member, there is no room for having trust issues.  so in the professional room, no. in my personal life? that’s another story.
