Tension

Chap 4-Jack Pt 1

I lay still on Jack's bed, I did promise my mom I'd go to his house after all.
Jack is sitting on his gaming chair, with his gaming controller, wearing his gaming headphones and can you guess what he's doing? That's right, gaming.

"Is that really so fun?" I accidentally say aloud.

I don't care that I said it aloud, because he had his stupid headphones on and couldn't hear me. I didn't like that, I hate being ignored.

I stare into the back of Jack's skull and lift myself from the bed, walking over to him and placing myself on his lap, hugging my arms round his neck. I can feel his breath on my neck, but the clicking of his controller stops.
I want to look over my shoulder but I'd rather savour this moment.

"Jack??" I adjust myself and sit upright, more comfortably. "Are you alright?"

I hear no reply from him, but he puts his controller down as his arms wrap round my torso in a way.
Almost instantly I get butterflies and I know this feeling well.
I most definately have a crush, whether it's love is what time will tell. I relax myself and close my eyes, thinking about everything and everyone in my life and wonder if sometimes maybe I'm a bit too insensitive..

"You alright Muffin?"

Muffin..? Muffin...... That was by far the worst thing Jack has ever called me. I didn't know whether to respond or get up and gag.

"Mm"

Simple, yes. I'm fine, no need for you to stop your life plans to come and save me.
About an hour or two later, Clara comes in with her purse on telling Jack to put on his shoes and meet her downstairs.

"Can Halle come? Please maa"

I sat there like a maniqin. Where are we going, and why did he want me to join him? I know this isn't a family vacation so what's happening?
Clara agrees to me coming along and tells me to hurry. I've noticed a sharp pain in my stomach but the butterflies overtake when Jack's around.
We go downstairs and Clara tells us to get into the car. Having known her my whole life, I got into the car and so did Jack.

Jack held my hand the whole car drive and the whole way in, I couldn't really complain.. but it was still weird.
The doctor lead us into a large room, every corner baby proofed as if Jack was gonna accidentally fall into a shelf corner.

"Woah.." I said just utterly taken aback.

Jack looked upset already. I don't think he liked this place but the more that was coming to mind was suddenly interrupted by the voice of a man, in his early 20s at the most.
He was an attractive man, somehow not any better looking that Jack but so much better looking than everyone else I know.. He said something about an appointment and that I should go with Jack on Thursday to some fancy venue that was a private session for Jack and a +1 as if it were a ball or prom night.

At the end of the day, I came with Jack so I will leave with him and stay with him the whole time.

There isn't any other reason.
There can't be.
