Queen Of Hearts! (Jack Wilder)

Chapter 5 ~ The Second Show and Some Alone Time

(Emma's Point of View)

When we got onto the plane, i sat next to Jack and he smiled at me. "What?" I asked. "Oh nothing. You just look gorgeous. As always." He said with a genuine smile. "Oh uh- t-t-thanks." I blushed madly. I seem to be doing that a lot when I'm around Jack. "Stop flirting Wilder. You're terrible at it." Danny said walking over. "I actually think that he's pretty good." Merrit commented. "Yeah. Whatever." Danny replied. "Stop hating on the kid Daniel." Merrit said standing infront of Danny looking straight into his eyes. "Oh no. No. Don't try it. Don't try to do your tricks on me." Danny said taking a step back. "Tricks? Is that what they are to you?" Merrit asked getting closer to Danny. "Yeah. It's quite simple actually." Danny said smartly. "Really? Then do... Henley." Merrit said smirking. "He already did. If y'know what i mean." I said winking at Danny making him glare at me. "No, do me." Arthur said confidently.

15 minutes later

"HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA" I laughed my ass off at Danny's failure but he just ignored me. "So... Snuffles and Cushman Armitage was your childhood?" Danny asked in disbelief. Arthur nodded. I quickly jotted down the two names on my phone.

The rest of the plane ride was quiet. Danny was looking out the window gloomily, Henley was sleeping and Merrit was telling me and Jack funny/inappropriate jokes. Merrit was like that uncle who would bring alcohol to your 16th birthday party... but he's got a great sense of humor. Merrit went to the washroom and me and Jack splayed would you rather. "Would you rather... follow the rules and never get what you want, or... follow your heart?" He asked smirking. "Follow my heart. I don't really follow rules anyway." I laughed slightly. "Oh so you're a bad girl huh?" His smirk grew, if that's even possible. "Oh, and what's it to you Wilder?" I teased. He leaned in and whispered into my ear. "Well, good talk." He kissed my cheek and went to sleep, leaving me with a red face, thinking about what just happened.

**Time Skip**

"Do me a favor. Visualize your most adventurous sexual experience." Merrit asked Henley. "Stay out of my head, you perv!" She glared. "Well, no, if I stay out of your head, I'm never gonna get into your pants."he replied smartly. "Right." I laughed slightly. "So let's stick with this exercise. And it helps-" Danny was cut off.

"Pardon the intrusion. I just wanted to wish you good luck tonight." Thaddeus Bradley said walking in. "What, so you can try to expose us later on your little website?" I said unimpressed. "And on demand." He replied smiling. "Sorry to burst your bubble but that's not gonna happen." I smirked. "Oh, no? Operating on a special plane because of The Eye? I heard it's a lovely place. Lots of starshine and moonbeams. Make any magician's wish come true. You've come a long way, much further
than anyone would have expected
of a bunch of wanna-bes and has-beens." He smiled at me as if i were a child and i glared at him.

"If by "has-been" you're referring to me, I just wanna say I'm flattered,
because I always considered myself
a never-was. Do you mind if I do a quick read on you?" Merrit joined. "By all means." Thaddeus replied. "Okay, I'm picturing a little boy. He wants to be a great magician someday. And though he's good,
he's not quite good enough.
So he ends up at the bottom
of the entertainment food chain,
feeding off of those who have the talent that he never did. Tell me. Am I getting close?" Merrit smirked.

"Wait. Before you go. I'm working on something new. Do you have a second?" I interrupted. "Okay. Name a card." I ordered. "King of hearts." He replied. "Knew it." Danny rolled his eyes. "Okay. "I replied. "It's up your left sleeve." He smirked.
"Is it? No. No, I don't see it up there.
You know, why don't you check
your unnecessary velveteen pocket there?" I smirked. "Yeah." Danny said smirking at me. "Anyway, thank you so much for coming by, but this is kind of a talent only area, so..." I shrugged with a bit of a smirk. "Break a leg." He replied walking away. "Hey, you break something, too!" Merrit shouted back.
