Partner's In Crime

Jealous

"Another reason I didn't wanna pair up with a dumbass."

"Shut the fuck up!"

Mark only rolled his eye's. Jack, swung his bag at Mark hitting him in the face.

"I'll wipe that smirk right off your face." Mark threatened.

"Like to see you try."

Mark nearly struck Jack's face until Jack blocked the attack by holding Mark's fist.

"Try better next time." Jack released Mark's fist.

"Now what oh great partner~?!" Mark waved his hands sarcastically.

"Steal a bunch of shit. Don't know." Jack suddenly spotted a gem on a slender finger. He scanned the women. And an idea hit him.

"Bet you I can slip that ring right off her."

Mark finally noticed the woman passing by. Her lips were plum with red glossing lip stick, bouncy brunette curls, a formal feather hat, an unhealthy waist, and a dress with many ruffles and colors. She was rubbing her hands nervously and trying to keep a distance from crowd's and men that tried wooing her.

"Ok yeah." Mark snorted.

Jack ignored Mark's comment and made his way over to the young women.

"Miss." Jack bowed. "I've noticed you seemed lost and a bit scared of the street's. I simply wish to assist you. Not hurt you in physical or any other ways".

The women backed away only a little. She saw kindness and generosity in Jack's eye's. All the men in town seemed rugged. Jack was too, but not in her eye's.

"I only need someone to help me head home and keep me safe from all these disgusting flees." The women a eyed a cluster of men watching her from a far.

"Then i'll shall be your escort m'am."

The women clung to Jack's sleeve when the came upon a person coming to close or looked suspicious.

She had given Jack directions to her place and finally arrived.

Mark stood alone and waited.

"I didn't think I could trust you but thank you." The maiden pecked Jack on the cheek leaving a red kiss mark. Jack finally released the women's hands and watched her head inside her home.

"Mark. You should never doubt me." Jack held up the emerald ring and slipped it in his pocket.

Jack begun to head off where he left Mark.

"Took your sweet time. Thought you'd tried to get in her underwear. She left you a kiss huh?" Mark grit his teeth at the last part.

"That's distracting me". Mark smudged Jack's cheek where the lipstick was. He whined as Mark smushed his cheeks and slapped his hand away with a small tint of red on his face.

"Stealing takes time." Jack held out his findings.

Mark was impressed but not fully. Right now something different enraged him a little. That lipstick... from a girl... he disproved of that.
