The Desirable Man Down The Hall

Chapter 2 ~ First Date

It's been 2 days without talking to Jack, and hardly seeing him.
Is he just one of them guys that plays around with your heart? He looks it...
I haven't really fell for him, but there are feelings there towards him.

'Well great. I have feelings towards a fuck boy.'

I get out of bed and look at the time, 7:30am.
Better get ready for work.
Today I'm working at the pharmacy. I put on my work clothes, do my hair and makeup, grab a on-the-go breakfast drink, my flats and keys and off I go.

While walking down the hall towards the elevator, I heard a familiar voice. I turned around, to see Jack walking towards me.
I stare at him for a bit, he looks different, shaken up, my anger towards him left when I realise something was wrong.
The elevator door opened but I didn't care, I was worried about Jack. He came up to me with tears in he's eyes, and hugged me.
There was a moment of silence, then i asked what was going on.

He's mother died.
He was in hospital with her for 2 days while she was very ill, and she eventually passed.
Even though I didn't know her, and hardly know Jack, I started silently crying myself.
He said that he's doing fine, but I didn't believe him.

"Here, have my number so you can call or text me if you need anything." I said.

He thanked me and let me go off to work, even though I was prepared to call in 'sick' just to be with him.

While at work, i couldn't stop thinking about it. Poor Jack. This must be so hard for him.
I must of been in my own little world cause another staff member came up and asked if I was alright.
She was an early lady, probably lived in this town for years on end.

"Yeah, sorry, I just found out that my friends mother passed away, that's all." I replied.

"Yes, we all heard the news love, Mrs Perry wasn't that bad of a lady."

'Wasn't that bad....'

"Poor Jack though." I shot back.

She looked at me for a bit, then started to chuckle,
"My dear, Mrs Perry used to abuse Jack as a child.." She started, I was shocked, "When Jack turned 17 she kicked him out of home."

"How do you know this? Does every one know this?" I asked.

"No love, not everybody. I know this because at 17 when he got kicked out I let him live with me."

There was a moment of silence.

"But, yet, after all the years of hurting the poor child, he was still caring towards her. So I guess you're right when you say poor Jack, because he's that type of person to care for anyone no matter what they do to him."

Makes sense.

"Why don't you take the rest of the day off, go see him, make sure he's doing alright. I'll cover for you love, it's ok."

"Thank you, I'll make it up to you!"

I raced to the car and drove as fast as j could, making it to the car park and jumping out fast-walking up to the lobby and into the elevator.

*knock knock*
"Jack..?"

The door slowly opened, revealing Jack.

"Hello mi bella flor," He said smiling, "what are you doing here?"

'What's he calling me...'

"I wanted to make sure you're okay!" I said smiling.

He let me in and got me a glass of water.
There were a lot of paintings and sculptures around his apartment. I wonder where he buys them from? They're beautiful.
After hours of talking and laughing with him, he placed his hand on my shoulder, and asked me out on a date.

"Yes, of course! I would love to.' I replied.

He smiled and got up, taking off he's shirt.
The heavens have opened up to me. Jack was RIPPED.

"Uhhhhh.. What are you doing?"

He smiled and chucked the shirt into a basket and went into a room and came out with a singlet.

"It's hot, plus, to give you a quick look at me." He said with a wink.

I laughed it off, even though he's freaking hot as hell, and maybe after this date I'll be getting into bed with that body.

-

'Only 40 minutes till you're date, hurry!' I told myself.

I was wearing a plain tight black dress, black heals, silver jewellery, my hair was out in soft curls, and I was now doing my make up.
After i was ready, I waited in the kitchen until I heard that knock on the door.
After a few minutes went by, I heard the knock, and Jacks voice,
"Are you ready mi bella flor?"

I opened the door and my eye brows shot up.

'Hot dayum.'

Jack was wearing the top half to a suit, and black tight jeans, with black shoes. He's hair was brushed back and jelled in a sexy way, and he smelt so good of sweet cologne that made my knees week.

Instead of Jacks eyebrows shooting up like mine, he's jaw dropped instead.

"Oh my gosh, you look... Absolutely gorgeous!" He said, look me up and down and finally reaching my eyes.
He took my hand and held it to his lips and softly kiss the back of my hand.

"Shall we go?"

"We shall."

-

Jack took me to a fancy restaurant called 'Vue De Monde'.
It was a lovely place, and the food was great, but I couldn't take my eyes away from Jack. He was so good looking, in every way.
He's smile,
He's jaw line, oh my god he's jaw line.
He's deep forest green eyes.
He's laugh gave me butterflies.

'Am I falling for him?!'
