Jack Dawkins One Shots

The Maid's Day Off

Jack woke feeling groggy. he sat up and stretched Egar to enjoy his first day off as the new head surgeon, on his cosy new house. Everything felt so perfect, he had a good job, with job security, good pay, his own house, and a big warm bed. Life was good for the first time in Jack's whole life.

suddenly he heard a tap on his bedroom door, "Doctor Dawkins? Are you awake sir?" Y/n asked.

Y/n was a sweet girl, that Jack didn't really know much about let alone what to do with. She was the last homeowners maid and when Jack got the house she kinda just... Came with the house. And he didn't want to get rid of her and it was nice not having to worry about chores but... she tended to be a little... Over attentive.

Jack turned his head towards the door and groaned, rubbing his eyes. "Y-Yes, I'm awake.." he said with a groggy tired voice,

The door opened and Y/n strolled in wearing her usual uniform of a long white blouse, tall black boots and a deep blue pinafore with a apron around her. She carried a tray with some breakfast in hand. Toast, eggs, an orange, coffee and water. "Good morning sir" she smiled,

Jack blinked tiredly and sat up to lean against the headboard. "Good morning.." Jack said, "Did you make that for me?"

"of course sir." Y/n smiled sitting the tray on the table on his bedroom unpacking each item onto the wooden table setting it all out for him,

Jack's stomach growled lightly. "How long have you been awake for?" he asked as he stretched and yawned again.

"Half past six as usual sir." Y/n explained, "Would you like me to run your bath?"

Jack nodded slowly, "Yes, yes, that would be lovely. Thank you..." he muttered tiredly,

"of course sir." Y/n nodded before she hurried off to the bathroom to prepare his bath,

Jack yawned, he slowly sat up more. he stretched again and rubbed his eyes trying to wake up.

Y/n soon returned drying her hands on her apron. She noticed his tried state so fetched the coffee from the table and brought it over to him,

he could hear her and opened his eyes. he looked over to see her holding a coffee, he blinked tiredly and smiled a little. "Ah, thank you.." he muttered and went to put his hand out for the coffee from her,

"You're welcome sir." Y/n smiled handing it over, "is there anything else? I could set your clothes out? Or help you in your bath? I could wash your sheets?" Y/n asked,

Jack shook his head and sighed. When Y/n started to offer to do everything for him for the hundredth time he sighed.

She'd been like this since Jack moved in. Constantly asking for jobs because she was so used to being ordered around. And when Jack didn't order her around like a literal slave she got confused and just sort of sat around waiting for commands like a puppy.

"No Y/n, thank you. I'm fine, I'm more than capable of doing things myself," Jack sighed.

"oh... Alright sir." Y/n nodded rather puzzled,

Jack drank some of his coffee and watched her as he spoke "Y/n." he said in a softer voice, "you don't need to ask if I need help or you need to do anything. You're not my slave.."

"But I'm a maid. And Mr Clarke always made me do everything for him." She explained,

Jack looked at her with a serious tone, but a very soft voice "Well, I'm not Mr Clarke. I'm not going to order you around." Jack said, trying his hardest to make Y/n understand,

"...then, what am I to do all day?"

"Take time to yourself. Do what you enjoy, go for a walk. You don't need to constantly ask to do things. Or be at my every beck and call."
