Lights On Sixth Street

Chapter Two

An alarm clock woke me up as I cuddled my new stuffed animal. Wait I didn't have an alarm clock. I sat up in bed and found a new alarm clock with a bow attached to it and a little note. "Come on down stairs for the beach when you're ready. Ps found your computer on when I checked up on you. Decided to get you one myself From Jack Crossing." Great he bought one for me but I feel bad about taking his money. I'll pay him back later. I got up and found my bathing suit and a big tee shirt to put over it. I changed into a slim red bikini and a shirt to cover up. I grabbed my wallet and my bag with my uniform to change into later for work. I went down the stairs to get breakfast. It's eight-thirty they'll be here at ten. I should be able to clean the house up by then and have breakfast. My nose smelt something delicious. He cooked too? I walked into the kitchen to find bacon sizzling on the stove with bagels on the table.

Jack stood there in his pajama pants with no shirt on. Oh God. His stomach was small and he had a four pack. His pants were too big on him so you could see his boxers underneath. He stood there looking at me looking at him. "You like what you see?" he teased. I felt myself blush. I set the table and completely ignored him. Whenever I glanced at him his eyes met mine. Annoying he is so annoying. Then I'd lift my eyes away from his in an instant. I could've sworn I heard him chuckle. So he thought that was funny? What a kid! He should learn his place. "Why are you dressed already they won't be here until ten?" His question did not help the situation. "Also no one's awake yet so you don't have to set the table."

"It just so happens that I wanted to get dressed!"

"What else do you want?" He flashed a smile and I shrugged it off.

"Not you, that's one thing I don't want." Saying that made me shiver.

He frowned. "You're a tougher than I thought." He walked closer to me to fill the gap between us. "I guess I'll have to change that." He whispered into my ear slightly breathing on it.

I backed away quickly when I saw John walk into the room. "Look Johns up! Are you hungry?" I asked.

Jack shrugged and gave up for now. John sat down. He grabbed a bagel as we put the bacon on the table. The two of us sat down as Jack set an extra plate. For whom I don't know maybe my father? It's unlikely that he'd wake up this early in the morning. I heard a knock on the door and went to get it. I opened the door to find a couple standing there. The male had dark red hair with a suit and tie. He was holding hands with a woman in a black dress holding an umbrella. Her hair was beautiful. Wait I stand corrected she was beautiful with her long dark blonde hair with shimmering light red high lights. Not dyed hair either. I could tell it was completely natural. They looked adorable together. I envied that.

The man looked at me with a smile. "Are you Abigail Clamed?" When I nodded for a yes they embraced me into a hug. Then they came inside. I didn't even invite them in. Then I remembered what dad said. The Crossing family comes and goes whenever they want because our families are so close together. They most likely were the parents. I sighed. At least they weren't strangers. They hugged john but not Jack. Jack just stood there glaring with his father. Then to my surprise his father pats him on the back. I guess they aren't that close. Just another thing I and he have in common.

They sat down with us and joined us for breakfast. I just listened to the conversations. Trying not to get involved.The mother was yelling at John for skipping his Tutor last night to be here. The father and Jack starred at each other endlessly. Not one word came out of either of their mouths. I felt extremely uncomfortable. Then dad walked in and started talking about the business with both parents. John looked over at me with puppy dog eyes trying to make sure I don't tell them what I know. Jack smiled at me whenever I looked at him. I can't wait to go to work later so I can escape this family meeting.
