The pizza settled into Jenna’s belly and she started to feel less drunk and less out of control. She was sobering up a bit, but wondered if that meant she’d soon be saying goodbye to Jack. She didn’t want him to leave.
“So, how do you get over Miranda?” she asked him.
“You know the funny thing about relationship addictions?” Jack said, as he took another slice of pizza from the box. “You can decide not to be addicted anymore. It’s just that simple. So, I decided I wasn’t addicted to Miranda anymore, and—poof!—I wasn’t.”
“Decide? It was that easy?” Jenna scoffed, unable to believe it.
“It wasn’t exactly easy, but it was all about deciding. I know it seems like this Jax bloke has your number, but he doesn’t, lass. That’s all in yer head.”
She felt skeptical: how could that possibly be? Whenever she was with Jax, she felt so out of control, so decidedly not in any position to decide anything, especially when her clothes came off. How could she just decide not to be affected by him? It was like asking the moon not to be affected by earth’s gravity.
“I don’t know if it’s that simple.”
Jack grabbed a napkin from the table and wiped his lips. “I know it doesn’t seem so, but in my experience people only have power over you if you let them.”
It’s what Maddie had basically said, too. Could they both be right?
Suddenly, Jenna didn’t feel like talking about Jax anymore. She wanted to talk about Jack. She didn’t know about just deciding to be over Jax, but she could sure forget about him for a while with Jack around.
