Jack looked at me utterly lost, his face full of questions, as I gazed at him fixedly.Without knowing exactly what to invent, I blurted out the first thing that came to mind, a bit embarrassed that he caught me so quickly:"Why did you study medicine?""I like helping people," he replied with a bright smile before jumping to his feet, ready to wash his plate."You can help in other ways.""Well, it was my destiny to be a doctor. Whether I wanted to or not, I was going to be one. Therefore, I had to learn to love what I do, kicking and screaming.""You wouldn't study something else?" I muttered, giving intense thought to what he said so calmly."I couldn't even if I wanted to.""Your life is so complicated," I whispered, walking to the kitchen. It was my turn to wash the dishes, so we continued chatting while I finished."That's why you should love what you do. Besides, being a doctor isn't so bad.""If you say so," I mumbled, shrugging indifferently. Anyway, it was his life, and I co
"Yes?" I muttered, shifting my gaze from the bar door to find myself face to face with that tall guy with whom we had that intense fight to retrieve Jack's wallet, the leader of that stupid gang. "What are you doing here?""Is the entrance to this place prohibited for me only?" he commented with irritation in his tone. I rolled my eyes; I couldn't kick him out even if I wanted to; after all, he was a customer. "What do you want to drink?""I've been telling you for almost ten minutes to give me a beer," he said irritably. I glared at him before going to the fridge to get what he had asked for. I handed it to him along with a napkin and continued with my tasks. "Where's your bodyguard?""Jack?" I grumbled, feeling an emptiness inside when mentioning his name. The guy with jet-black hair nodded with a sardonic smile. "He had to go back to his city.""So he abandoned you?”"We were never together; we're just friends.""And can I be your friend too?" he inquired, leaning slightly over the
Despite my effusive affection and all those uncontrollable tears bathing my face, Jack squeezed me just the same, bringing me even closer to his endearing body. One that fit wonderfully with mine, as if they had been created perfectly for each other.He didn't bother to push me away, nor did he part his lips; I didn't even want to break that magical reunion, under the starry night generously offered by the sky.However, something inside me told me that perhaps it was a complete farce, a play of my brain due to the amount of alcohol I had consumed at Cody's house.Despite feeling him so close to me, I couldn't believe it."Did you really come back?" I murmured between his arms, somewhat afraid of his answer. "I'm not dreaming, right?""Of course not, idiot," he replied, releasing soft laughter. "It's me.""Why did you come back?" I asked confused, inhaling the delicious scent of his jacket, a mix of cigarettes and brand perfume, the perfect fusion to make me delirious in a matter of se
The softness of his lips drove me crazy, the way he moved his tongue trying to invade my mouth left me breathless, it was a kind of war to dominate the other first.I took his hair between my hands, caressing it to the rhythm of that passionate kiss, while he slowly lifted my shirt, leaving it somewhere in the room that I didn't care to identify.He touched with the tips of their fingers my bare back, unfastening my bra and leaving an electric trail wherever he touched.Without warning, he picked me up, forcing me to wrap my legs around their body.He slid his hands all over my torso, going through my ass and gripping my thighs, helping me stay hanging on him like a koala.He continued kissing me without even thinking that we would soon run out of air.With some clumsiness, he led me to the bedroom where, in the darkness, he threw me onto the bed, leaving me dumbfounded when he sensually took off his jacket and shirt, unbuttoning his pants and launching himself onto me like a wild bea
"I stirred from deep slumber, feeling slightly dizzy from the previous night's alcohol intake. I was certain that fully waking up would result in me vomiting despite not having eaten anything.The ghastly symptoms of a dreadful hangover loomed over every inch of my unconscious body, a complete nuisance I'd have to deal with on my own.I sluggishly remembered a few things about how I ended up at home in this state, but there was a mental gap in my brain desperately seeking to be filled among my scattered thoughts.What had happened on my way home? Why couldn't I recall it, even though I tried so hard? Why did I feel like I had forgotten something really important?I abruptly opened my eyes, hearing a groan beside me, a male voice that sent shivers down my spine.Had Cody ended up sleeping with me? Impossible!I let my terrified gaze instantly fall upon the person peacefully sleeping beside me, only to be surprised beyond belief.Jack, naked as the day he was born, sighed in his sleep,
I spent the rest of the day lying in bed, resting, as my body was paying the price for all the exertion. I dozed off for short periods, where sometimes Jack would lie beside me for quick naps, or he'd simply watch over me, thinking I was fast asleep.I felt his hands stroking my hair and his breath so close to my face, enveloping me in its sweet scent.After he took a long bath, with his help, I finally managed to get up, knowing I had to go to work whether I wanted to or not. I wrapped myself in the sheet, feeling shy about being seen naked, although it was somewhat absurd after what had happened. Still, I was quite modest about my body."Are you sure you can manage on your own?" he questioned from the bathroom, biting his lower lip, a bit concerned that I might hurt myself further while showering."Yes...""I can join you if you want.""No!" I exclaimed, paling at his suggestion, causing him to let out a teasing chuckle at my abrupt reaction. "I don't want that!""Okay," he nodded,
That night, we closed up almost at four in the morning, as the sky began to slowly brighten with the peeking sun between the mountains.We had stopped at a 24-hour supermarket before heading home at Jack's request. He spent quite some time buying things that I didn't even get to know what they were, as I stayed outside in the middle of the street, waiting for him.Minutes later, when he came out of the store, he was carrying a bag full of items, and I couldn't help but gasp at such a splurge of money on his part.Despite the argument hours ago, Jack had returned to his usual self. In contrast, I couldn't shake off his words from my mind, making it increasingly difficult for me to keep up with the conversation.Even my behavior seemed too mechanical, as if I were some kind of programmed robot."What do you say we watch the sunrise?""Sure," I shrugged.After all, I wasn't feeling the slightest hint of sleep or tiredness, having practically been in bed all day before.He took my hand, n
Despite it being daytime, I tried to sleep in my room with the curtains tightly closed, but I couldn't close my eyes.Jack invaded my thoughts.I couldn't shake off the melancholic image of his gaze when we arrived home and his sorrowful smile as we bid each other good night, going off to rest in our respective places.Something deep within my heart bothered me intensely. Perhaps it was my brutality when it came to matters of love... or maybe it was the fact that I had hurt him with my abrupt and cowardly behavior.I wasn't entirely sure, but no matter how hard I tried to shut my eyes and drift off to sleep, they would snap open, staring at the ceiling as I sought answers to everything I felt inside.I urgently needed to admit my feelings, to be honest with myself once and for all.I got out of bed determined to do just that, clumsily making my way to the living room where Jack was already fast asleep on the couch... or at least that's what it looked like at first glance.I stood next
