Hot 'n' Cold

11

I sat down next to May and we got to know each other a little bit.

"So, Cleo how old are you?"

"19, 20 in August." May smiled at me excitedly.

"OMG, your first birthday in the amazon!!!!!"

"I guess it will be."

My curiosity got the best of me, since I met Adam last night, I didn't feel that excruciating heat, just warm and fuzzy, but when he left I felt ice cold, which I've never felt.

"How old is Adam?"

"24." My jaw dropped, no damn way. He looks freaking 19!

JACK'S POV

I followed Adam across the hall, into his office.

"That's the girl, from my mom's stories!"

"Adam dude, are you sure?"

"Yes, she even has the necklace." Adam looked up at the ceiling, "when I left her, I felt cold and empty, the stories are true." He told me the stories before, about a girl that was so amazing. She would become his whole world, and I believe him. I felt the same way when I met May, 4 years ago.

"Go get her." Adam smiled, but before we left his office, he had to grab his python.

Men and their damn snakes.

ADAM'S POV

Finally! I found the girl. I never thought that she would be so close, we were near each other for, god knows how long. And now I finally have my chance. I sat at my desk talking to Jack excitedly. My office held two large cherry oak desks, mine was the farthest from the door. It was overflowing with papers, notebooks and pens. Whilst the other one was bare, ready for Cleo to decorate and use. I also had two large vivarium's, one has my full-grown ball python- Athena, and the other had a bearded dragon. I pulled out Athena and let her wrap her splotched body around my arm. As I walked out, I placed a large packet of papers on Cleo's desk. The large mass of them was insurance papers, since we work with all kinds of reptiles, someone always gets hurt. Its better to be safe than sorry. Jack and I walked back to the girls, when we walked in Athena let me go and slithered towards May, and Cleo.

"Erm, Cleo. Do not scream." She turned to face me, but she came face to face with the six-foot snake.

"Wow she's beautiful." She gently picked up Athena and held her lovingly.

"How'd you know she's a female?!"

"Females intuition." She held the snake like it was a baby, not even fazed. Most girls would run for the hills or try to kill the thing. I snapped out of my shocked state, I led Cleo to my office. Sorry, our office.

"Welcome, this is our office. Over there is your desk, have fun decorating it." She placed Athena on the floor and jumped onto the black spinning chair, her long brown hair flew all over the place.

"On your desk, is a bunch of papers I need you to fill out." Cleo groaned but pulled out a pen. I couldn't help but laugh at her.
