After realizing he had no chance, Jack sensibly shifted from being Zane's fanboy boyfriend to a loyal fan, at least in front of Zane.
When Natalie followed Jack into the makeup room, Jack snorted villainously.
"If it weren't for the fact that you're good-looking and match with Zane, I wouldn't even bother styling you."
Natalie: ...
Has the trend of talking tough turned into backhanded compliments now?
"Thank you for saying I'm pretty."
Jack: ...
"How did you get with Zane?"
Zane has a rugged look that's appealing to both men and women, so it's no surprise Jack has had a crush on him for five years.
Natalie noticed that Jack still seemed a bit unwilling, so she decided to hit him with another blow.
"It was Zane who came after me; he fell for me at first sight."
Jack: ...
"Impossible!"
"Why not? If you don't believe me, then go ask him yourself."
Jack: ...
"Forget it then."
To avoid asking for trouble.
