“AND SHES A HOMETOWN BABY, COULD YOU PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN MAYBE?”- OUT FRONT, JACK HARLOW
The bass of the music reverberated through the walls of Sia’s house, blending with the hum of conversations and bursts of laughter. The party was in full swing, but Zaria Brown felt out of place. Dressed to perfection in a black satin dress that hugged her curves, she clutched her drink tightly, trying to drown out the creeping weight of her reality.
Her marriage wasn’t just rocky—it was practically falling apart. Her husband,Chris, hadn’t even noticed her leaving tonight. He rarely noticed anything these days.
“Girl, why are you standing here looking like a snack but acting like you’re invisible?” Sia’s voice cut through her thoughts.
Zaria turned to her oldest friend, managing a small smile. “Just…thinking, and plus I’m married.”
Sia rolled her eyes, pulling Zaria’s drink out of her hand and replacing it with a stronger one. “Well, stop. It’s a party. You look too good to waste the night thinking about him.”
Zaria sighed, leaning against the wall. “You don’t get it, Sia. It’s not that easy.”
“Of course, I get it,” Sia said, lowering her voice. “But you deserve more than what he’s giving you. And tonight? Just have fun. Forget him for a couple of hours.”
Before Zaria could respond, her eyes caught a familiar face across the room. Her heart skipped a beat. Jack Harlow.
He looked different now—more polished, more confident. His curls were neater, and his jawline sharper, he had grown a beard, but the mischievous spark in his eyes was still the same. He was leaning against the kitchen counter, casually sipping a drink while laughing with a small group.
“Sia,” Zaria whispered, gripping her friend’s arm. “Is that who I think it is?”
Sia followed her gaze and smirked. “Yup. Jackman Harlow. Bet you didn’t think you’d see him tonight, huh?”
“No, I didn’t,” Zaria admitted, her stomach twisting.
“Girl, he’s been blowing up since you last saw him. Got a whole career now,” Sia said, nudging Zaria. “And I’m pretty sure he’s single.”
“Sia,” Zaria hissed.
“What?” Sia shrugged innocently. “I’m just saying, he looks good. And considering your situation—”
“Sia.”
“Fine, fine. I’ll shut up. But don’t act like you’re not thinking about it,” Sia teased before walking off to mingle with another group.
Zaria hesitated before taking a step forward. She wasn’t sure why she felt compelled to approach him, but something about seeing Jack again after all these years made her chest tighten.
Jack noticed her as she crossed the room. His eyes widened slightly, recognition dawning. “Zaria?”
“Hey, Jack,” she said softly, a small smile playing on her lips.
He grinned, setting his drink down. “Wow. I didn’t think I’d ever see you again.”
“Yeah, it’s been a while,” she replied, folding her arms nervously.
“You look…amazing,” he said, his eyes briefly scanning her before meeting her gaze again.
“Thanks,” she said, feeling a warmth rise to her cheeks. “You don’t look too bad yourself. Seems like life’s treating you well.”
Jack chuckled. “Can’t complain. Music’s been good to me. What about you? How’s life?”
Zaria hesitated, the question hitting harder than she expected. “It’s…complicated,” she admitted.
Jack nodded, his smile fading slightly. “Fair enough.”
There was a brief silence before he gestured toward the patio. “Wanna step outside? It’s kinda loud in here.”
Zaria glanced around, spotting Sia across the room. Her friend gave her a thumbs-up and a not-so-subtle wink. Rolling her eyes, Zaria followed Jack outside.
The cool night air was a welcome change from the stuffy heat of the party. They stood by the railing, the distant sounds of music muffled.
“So,” Jack began, leaning against the railing. “What brings you here? Didn’t peg you as the party type anymore.”
“Sia dragged me out,” Zaria admitted with a small laugh. “She said I needed a break.”
“From what?” Jack asked, tilting his head.
Zaria hesitated again, staring at the stars. “Just…life. Marriage. You know, adult stuff.”
Jack’s expression shifted, concern flickering in his eyes. “Marriage, huh?”
“Yeah,” Zaria said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Jack nodded slowly. “You happy?”
The question hung in the air, heavy and unavoidable. Zaria bit her lip, looking away. “It’s complicated, yeah.”
“Complicated,” Jack repeated, a hint of frustration in his tone. “Seems like a word people use when they’re trying to avoid the truth.”
Zaria turned to him, her eyes narrowing. “And what would you know about it, Jack?”
“Not much,” he admitted, holding up his hands. “But I know you. Or at least, I used to. And you don’t look like someone who’s happy.”
Zaria’s breath caught in her throat. She didn’t know how to respond, so she stayed silent, the weight of his words sinking in.
Jack sighed, running a hand through his curls. “Sorry. That was out of line.”
“No,” Zaria said quickly. “You’re not wrong. Things just…aren’t what I thought they’d be.”
Jack studied her for a moment, his expression unreadable. “If you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here. Always have been.”
Zaria’s lips parted, but no words came out. The vulnerability in his voice took her by surprise, and for a brief moment, she wondered what life might have been like if she’d made different choices.
“Thanks, Jack,” she finally said, her voice barely audible.
He nodded, his gaze lingering on her. “Anytime, Z.”

How about a famous actress reader & she’s filming a tv show or movie. one of her co-stars is her ex, and the ex been blasting her on social media ever since her relationship with Jackman got revealed & reader doesn’t feel comfortable on set with the ex. So Jackman comes to set with her being all protective.
movie star || jack harlow x reader
you had just received the call you’d been waiting almost your whole life for, the call any aspiring actress was dying to get. you were officially casted as the lead in hollywood’s next biggest blockbuster film. you knew this would be the role that would launch your career further than you’d ever imagined.
you couldn’t contain your excitement, a smile was glued to your face as you ran around the house in search of your boyfriend, wanting to immediately share the good news. jack was your number one fan and nothing but supportive through every step of your career, through every up and down. he was the first person you told about every role you landed and you couldn’t wait to tell him about this one, your most prominent one yet.
you took long strides towards the in home studio jack spent most of his afternoons in, softly pushing the door open, not wanting to interrupt anything important.
when you noticed it was just him in the room, messing around with some of the equipment you knew nothing about, you ran up to him while letting out the biggest squeal.
jack turned around with wide eyes, clutching his chest in fear. “jesus baby, you scared the shit out of me. need to put a bell on your or something, you’re too quiet.”
you ignored his sarcastic comment, too eager about sharing the news. “i did it, j. i got the part! the lead role, can you believe it!” you beamed, jumping up and down unable to contain your enthusiasm any longer.
a smile spread across jack’s face, instantly forgetting all about the faulty equipment that had him pissed off just a moment ago. ”baby, that’s amazing! i’m so proud of you. i knew you would get it.”
he waltzed over to you, bringing you into a tight hug while pressing a short kiss to your forehead. “my little movie star,” he smirked. “now everyone’s gonna know how talented you really are.”
you blushed at his compliment, nuzzling further into his chest to hide the rosiness that appeared on your cheeks.
“you know better than to hide that pretty face from me, baby girl. c’mon, lemme see that beautiful smile.” he said cheekily, bringing his thumb to your chin and tilting your head up to face him. “there she is,” he smiled. “so pretty. wait till the camera gets ahold of you.” he leaned down until your soft lips touched his, bringing you into a kiss to which he immediately deepened.
before things got a little too steamy in the studio, you pulled away and instead wrapped your arms around jack once more, just wanting to be as close to him as possible.
“so who’s your costar?” jack asked.
“i actually have no clue. lemme see if they posted it. the lady on the phone told me they were announcing everything today.”
you picked up your phone, opening up safari and typing in the name of the movie plus ‘cast’. it took a second to load before the screen displayed your picture, a good one at that, alongside the very man you’ve been trying your best to avoid since your relationship with jack began.
you scoffed, of course your costar would be your ex boyfriend. “you’ve got to be kidding me.”
“what? who is it?” jack questioned, wondering who would evoke a reaction like that from you, and only one person came to mind. “it’s him, isn’t it?”
“mhm, my fucking ex.” you sighed. “what am i gonna do? i can’t give up this role but i don’t feel comfortable working with him.” even after two years of being broken up and you clearly being in a very happy relationship, your ex still didn’t understand you wanted nothing to do with him. you dealt with him harassing you on a social media for months saying all sorts of bullshit in attempt to get you back before you ultimately blocked him on every platform, and essentially out of your life.
but now you would be stuck working with him for months. and even worse, he would play your love interest.
“i swear if i have to kiss him. oh god, i’m gonna have to kiss him, aren’t i?” you wanted to throw up just at the thought of it.
jack’s jaw clenched thinking about you anywhere near that scumbag. “i’m coming to set with you everyday and if tries anything, i’m kicking his ass baby. i’ve been waiting to for two years now.”
you giggled, knowing how much jack hated your ex for what he did to you, and how much he wanted him to pay. you wouldn’t lie, you found it a little hot.
“my knight in shining armor.” you teased, pressing a kiss to his cheek. “i love you. thank you for supporting me.”

it was two weeks later and jack kept his promise. you were sat in his jeep as he drove to set for your first day of filming.
you were suprised how at ease you felt, the only thing making you nervous about the day ahead was seeing him. you only hoped he took the hint after you blocked all communication with him, but knowing your ex he would do anything just to start problems.
when you arrived on set, jack parked in your designated spot. you couldn’t believe you had your own spot. usually you would be stuck searching for one all the way in lot D on the other end of set. but now here you were parking right next to the entrance in a spot with your name on it. how is this real life? you thought to yourself as jack opened the door for you. nothing is going to ruin this.
you walked hand in hand through the building in awe. today was just a table read but you could already see some of the sets coming to life, the builders working hard to make sure everything was perfect. you even thought you caught a glimpse of your costumes, all the bright colors and sequins matching the style of that era precisely. you squealed pointing it out to jack to which he only smiled, caught up in how adorable you were.
you finally reached the room you would be working in for the day and everyone, producers and cast alike, were so thrilled to see you. many introductions were made before they handed you a script and told you were to sit, luckily far away from your ex.
✧ ⋆ ࣪.* ࣪ ♡ ࣪.* ࣪ ⋆ ✧
the reading went smoothly, with your ex staying professional the entire time. although you weren’t sure how long that would last after hearing him call after you as you made your way back to the car with jack by your side.
you eventually stopped in your tracks, realizing you would have to talk to him eventually if you were going to be working together going forward. jack looked down at you confused. “let’s just get this over with.” you whispered before turning to finally come face to face with your ex.
“i see you’re still with this loser,” he quickly shot out.
jack’s jaw clenched as he stepped closer, his hand in a fist. “you better watch your damn mouth.”
your ex smirked looking at you and then back to jack. “you enjoying my sloppy seconds? surprised you stuck out this long with that bitch. she was always a little too clingy for my taste.”
jack was furious. how dare anyone, especially this asshole, speak about you like that. he wasn’t going to let that slide. “what the fuck did you say?”
your ex was about to say something else when jack swung at him, landing a hard punch to the mouth he clearly didn’t know when to shut.
you gasped, unsure of what to do. you’ve never seen jack get this angry before and you didn’t want him to hurt himself, but then again your ex deserved it.
you walked closer just in case you needed to step in but continued to watch in enjoyment as jack gripped the shorter man by his shirt with the nastiest look you’d ever seen him give someone. “now you listen to me. you better not so much as look at my girlfriend, let alone talk to her when you’re not filming. if i hear word that you bother her anymore, i will come down here and kick your ass. and i won’t go so easy next time. do you understand me?” jack yelled in his face.
“i said do you understand me?” he screamed a little louder, emphasizing each word when he didn’t hear a response.
you watched your ex nod his head in fear, and you wouldn’t lie, it made you laugh. “yes, yes i understand.” he stuttered.
“good.” jack stated, letting go of the frightened man. “now what do you have to say to y/n?”
“i- i’m sorry, y/n. i won’t bother you again.”
you gave a shy smile, not knowing what to say. “uh- thanks.”
“see that wasn’t so hard now was it?” jack mocked while giving him a pat on the back.
“now get the fuck out of here.”
you giggled as your ex ran towards the exit.
“wow, i didn’t know i was dating such a badass,” you teased, smiling up at him.
“c’mon now, baby. stop playin’. you know i’ve always been a badass.” he smirked while wrapping his arm around your shoulder and guiding you towards the car.
if there was one thing you learned today, it was that jack does not mess around when it comes to the people he loves, especially you.
THIS IS SO CUTEEEEEEEE!!!!
jack gives the reader a head massage and she ends up falling asleep 🤣🤣🤣 i’ve had those before and they just feel so good and a great way to relax.
a.n. i’ve never experienced this in my life but it sounds so amazing and relaxing. i’m jealous 😭
relax, baby || jack harlow x reader
it had only been a couple weeks into your fall semester and you already felt yourself falling behind. you found yourself waking up earlier each morning just to get a few extra minutes at the library, as well as staying up later than usual, shuffling through your never ending list of assignments and attempting to catch up on your readings.
you were beyond stressed to say the least and jack took immediate notice of this.
he hated seeing you get like this, especially with how much he knew you already struggled with your mental health. every semester for the last three years he watched as you shut yourself out from everyone, spending ever waking hour studying and prioritizing receiving an A mark in every class over taking care of yourself. he knew how stubborn you could be, but this semester he wasn’t going down without a fight. he was going to get you to step away from that mountain of textbooks sitting on your desk and finally have you relax.
* ࣪. ⋆ ✧ ﾟ: * ♡ * : ﾟ✧ ⋆ ࣪.* ࣪ ♡ ࣪.* ࣪ ⋆ ✧ ﾟ: * ♡ * : ﾟ✧ ⋆ ࣪.*
it was approaching midnight and you were on your fifth consecutive hour of studying.
jack watched as you tiredly typed away on your computer, trying to finish a paper for your psych class before the sun came up. 
he decided then that you needed a break, walking over to were you sat hunched over a book that probably weighed ten pounds. he threw the book aside, swiftly lifting you into his arms.
you let out a squeal from suddenly being picked up and thrown over your boyfriend’s shoulder. “jackman, what are you doing? put me down! i need to finish my paper!”
“nope,” he simply replied. “you need to take a break, baby. you’re working yourself too hard.”
“i promise i’ll take a break once i’m done but i need to finish this.” you tried to counter, but jack was as stubborn as you were and he wasn’t taking no for an answer.
“the paper will still be there in the morning, after you’ve relaxed and had a good nights sleep. and i’m sure you’ll be much happier with what you write after you’re well rested, bub. you need to get some rest, please baby, for me.” jack was almost begging at this point. he hadn’t seen that usual glimmer in your eyes in days, let alone that smile that never failed to light up the room. he missed it, and he missed you.
you accepted defeat as jack continued to carefully carry you into the bathroom that was connected to your shared bedroom.
he softly set you down on the counter before he walked towards the tub, starting a bath for you. you watched with love in your eyes as jack moved around the room, grabbing your favorite bubble bath, that was only to be used on special occasions, along with a fresh, warm towel straight out of the dryer. he was always so good to you and you absolutely adored him for it.
once the bath was filled enough, he helped you undress before assisting you into the warm water.
he turned to walk away once you were settled in, but you quickly grabbed ahold of his wrist asking him to stay.
“of course, baby. i’ll be right back. just going to throw a sweatshirt in the dryer for you so it’s warm when you come out.”
he exited the room and returned only a few minutes later, although it felt like much longer to you, with one of your favorite scented candles in his hand to light. you smiled to yourself, his sweetness was never ending and you couldn’t help but fall more in love with every small, caring gesture he made.
you didn’t realize you had been staring as he stripped and joined you in the tub. “like what you see, baby.” jack teased with a smirk on his face that caused you to blush.
“you know i do,” you admitted quietly, the warmth rising to your cheeks.
* ࣪. ⋆ ✧ ﾟ: * ♡ * : ﾟ✧ ⋆ ࣪.* ࣪ ♡ ࣪.* ࣪ ⋆ ✧ ﾟ: * ♡ * : ﾟ✧ ⋆ ࣪.*
you stayed in the bath with jack resting behind you, and your bodies intertwined until the water became too cold to find relaxing any longer.
jack got out first, quickly drying himself off before holding out a hand to help you get out of the bath. once you were out, he wrapped you up in a towel and guided you to sit back on the counter so he could help you complete your nighttime routine.
he situated himself between your legs, grabbing your toothbrush from behind you, wetting it before putting a line of toothpaste on it and, of course, wetting it again. he helped you brush your teeth, and even held your hair back so you could spit into the sink when he was finished.
he then pulled out your face wash and night cream, softly applying them to your skin, all before placing a quick peck to your lips. “beautiful, baby.”
once he was finished with that, he picked you up, carrying you back into the bedroom, slipping one of his old hoodies over you head that was extra cozy, having been fresh out of the dryer.
you cuddled up close to him, throwing you leg over his and wrapping your arm around his waist. his hand found it’s way to your head, giving you a scalp massage that had your eyes rolling to the back of you head. you didn’t realize how much you needed this relaxation until now.
jack continued to give you a head massage until you breathing stilled and he heard faint snores, the most adorable snores might he add, falling from your lips.
he smiled to himself in victory that he finally got you to rest.
he placed a gentle kiss to your forehead, whispering a faint, “good night, baby. i love you,” before falling asleep himself.
