I walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body and one wrapped around my hair.
"Hey, Gabby?" Jack asked while still staring down at his phone
"Hm?"
"you wanna go to a concert?" He asked
"Whose?"
"You'll have to see."
"Do you think it'll be lit?" I asked while picking out clothes from my suitcase
"Absolutely. It starts in two hours though. It's also in walking distance from the hotel, so that's beneficial."
"Well, I just washed my hair, so I guess I have to blow dry and flat iron it again." I laughed
"No, your hair looks nice when it's all natural. It reminds me of.. Beyoncé's hair."
"Thank you." I couldn't help but smile.
I picked out a cropped shirt, ripped jeans, black some Concord 11's, and a black bra and panties from PINK.
"I'll be in there for about forty-five minutes. If you need to pee, you can probably use a cup or I think there's one downstairs in the lobby." I heard him chuckle to himself
"Ok, take your time."
-
I walked out of the bathroom with my clothes, hair, and makeup done "Is my hair ok? Do I look ok?" I asked Jack. He looked up at me and smiled
"Yeah, you look great."
"Thank you." I still couldn't help myself from smiling.
"Well, I thought I looked bomb and that makes me even more excited for an event so this should be lit."
"Good. I think you'll have tons of fun." He got up and walked past me to the bathroom.
He took about twenty minutes to get ready then we went ahead and left for the concert.
We turned the corner to get to the stadium and I saw a huge screen that said "Summer Sixteen Tour" on the front
"Jack, I know the fuck you didn't." I looked up at him
"I have friends who work here so it was easy." He shrugged.
"Jack, you're actually killing me, this isn't happening." This was honestly so surreal.
"Nope, we're going to go see Drake and Future preform from section A."
"Where's that?"
"The floor."
"Jack, you got me fucked up." I attacked him with a hug
"Thats a good thing, right?" He asked while hugging back
"You don't even know."
We waited in line to get our tickets checked and found our way to the floor seats.
"Jack, I can't believe this is even happening. I've been waiting to see Drake ever since the 'So Far Gone' album came out in like 2008."
"Well now you get to see him close up. I think there was a picture of all of the songs he's performing on Twitter." He said while pulling out his phone
"I hope it's throwback stuff."
"It's probably mostly gonna be from the Views album." He shrugged
"True."
-
We've been waiting about thirty minutes since the opening act came on and suddenly all of the lights went off.
I heard the intro to the song Summer Sixteen and looked over at Jack even though there really was no point because it was pitch black.
As I heard Drake's voice ring through the arena, and the song "Summer Sixteen" play, I felt My jaw dropped and I started screaming along with the rest of the fans.
As the performance went on, I looked over at Jack, still amazed and he looked over to me with a huge smile.
Chance the Rapper and Kanye both ended up showing up too since Chicago is their hometown.
Overall, it was pretty lit.
-
Just wanted to give a lil visual slideshow of what the concert was like (IT WAS TOO LIT I ACTUALLY CRIED)
-
"Jack, that concert was so fun, thank you so much for taking me. It was honestly one of the best nights of my life." I kissed his cheek as we walked back to the hotel
"It's no problem. I just wanted to go out and have some fun."
We got into the hotel room and set down our phones and stuff "Hey, I'm gonna go up to the roof to just relax, you wanna come?" Jack asked
"Sure."
We walked up to the roof and moved two chairs from a little seating area to the railing so we could both look down below us and at the whole city.
We sat there in silence, just staring out into the city for about five minutes until I broke the silence.
"Jack?" I asked
"Hm?"
"Why are you being so nice to me? You didn't need to spend that much money on me. I most definitely appreciate it because I've had the most fun with you than anybody else I've ever spent time with, but like.. You took me on this trip to Chicago to make sure I had fun... Why?"
"I don't know... I just.. I don't know, I really like you and I like to see you happy." He shrugged with a red face.
"I'm not gonna lie, I really like you, too." I smiled.
I leaned over the railing of the hotel rooftop and let out a sigh "Jack, we should go to Nike Town tomorrow. I don't wanna buy anything cause it's so expensive, but I've just always wanted to go there."
"I'll make sure to put it on the to-do list," He sat back in his chair.
"Hey Gabby?" He asked
"Hm?"
"Do you maybe wanna go out to like dinner or something tomorrow? Maybe to the one across from the hotel or something?"
"That one?" I asked while pointing down to a fancy, French restaurant
"I guess." He shrugged
"What? On like a date?" I looked back at him
"I mean, I don't know. I guess you could call it that." His face was a bright red.
I turned back to look at the city lights and Jack came up next to me, leaning on the railing as well.
He looked over at me and kind of just stared for a moment. I acted like I didn't notice, but couldn't hide it anymore. I looked over at him
"What?" I smiled
"You're really beautiful, you know that?"
"Are you saying that because you want to take me on that 'date?'"
"No, I've always thought that." He said while looking straight ahead and off into the city again.
"You're lying." I couldn't help but smile and blush
"I'm not, I promise. I've liked you since like kindergarten." He looked down with a red face
"That's a really long time."
"Well, I at first liked you in kindergarten through about first grade. You were my first crush ever, then I thought all girls had cooties for a while, then all throughout middle and high school, I liked you, but you were with Hayes.. And now, I feel like I fell in love with you all over again."
I scotched up next to him and rested my head on his shoulder "You're so sweet."
