Jack's POV
Later today Mark and I are looking for a house to rent for college. The house has to have a fireplace. I love to cuddle up during the winter next to a fireplace, whilst feeling all nice and warm. Mark has a very small apartment; Two bedrooms and one bathroom. The first bedroom was for Mark. The second bedroom was for his recording studio. I sleep on the sofa. I think Mark has a crush on me. One time I forgot to get a towel before I stepped into the shower. I yelled out to Mark and he brought me one. He achieved a small glance at my body. He ran out of the bathroom and apologized. I saw that he was blushing.
"Jack, come on it's time to go house-hunting!" Mark yelled from his bedroom. I jumped off the sofa. I followed Mark to the car.
"Jack, I have found three houses that fit into our price range." He says while putting the address in the GPS. We pull up into the driveway of the first house. We walk into the house. I look around. I really don't like the house..it looks so run down.
"So Jack, what do you think?"
"Mark, this house is too run down, smells awful, And it doesn't even have a fireplace."
"Ok, Jack. Let's see what the next house looks like." So we drive for about fifteen minutes on our way to the next house. We walk in, and it's nice, So I walk to the living room. Then Mark and I walk up the stairs; it has four bedrooms. That's a perfect amount. We walk downstairs and decide to talk.
"Mark.. this house doesn't have a fireplace, Even though it has the perfect number of bedrooms."I said in a disappointing voice.
"Ok, Jack. We have one more house. Let's see if that is the one." He says whilst walking out of the house. As I walk to the car Mark quickly rushes pass me to open the car door. I smile and I get in. Mark winks at me and then shuts the door. Mark gets in the car, and I turn away to hide my blushing face. This house was about an hour away. Mark puts on some tunes and I took a little nap.
"Jack, come on get up. We are here. This house is beautiful. I think this is the one." Mark says, as he gets out of the car. He shuts the door and walks around the car to open my door. I was still trying to wake up, groggy. Mark takes my hand and helps me out of the car. I turn around and shut the door. Mark takes my hand and we both walk to the house. While walking I look down at our hands and I feel that I must have been blushing so hard. Mark opens the door and we walk inside. When I saw the huge fireplace I exclaimed in joy.
"Ok, Mark. I want this house; look at the fireplace it is huge!" I shouted, as I waved my hands next to the fireplace for dramatic effect.
"Ok Jack. We will buy this house but I want to continue looking around." He says while wandering off. I decided to take a look around as well. I went around the hall and it had a agreeable size kitchen. Next to the kitchen was the bathroom. I went back to the living room that held the fireplace. I then went up the stairs and to my left, I saw it had three bedrooms and one bathroom.
"Mark, are you upstairs? " I yelled out.
Mark didn't say anything. So I went looking for him. I look in the first bedroom and Mark was not in there. I close the door and I went into the second bedroom I walked in. As I was about to leave I heard a little noise undee the floorboards. I turn around and I scream and I fell on my backside. I felt something poke my rear.
"Really Mark that hurt my butt. " I yell in pain.
"Haha! Jack, you should have seen your face!" Mark said, all the while boisterously laughing.
"Hey, Mark. I think I found a secret compartment." I told him as I get off of my butt. I see something under the board. I lift the board and I see some old books.
"Wow, these books look to be hundreds of years old," Mark says to me as he sits down beside me. I pick up a couple of the books.I open them up. I start to cough the dust off the page from the books.
"Mark I wonder how old this house is and who lived here. I wonder who owned these books." I say as I turn the pages. I had to be very careful, as to not destroy the pages.
"Oww stupid books." Mark says while hissing because of the pain.
"Jack, look at how many paper cuts I have. It hurts really bad. Do we have any bandages?"
"Yea Mark, there are some bandages in the car. I'll be right back so just stay there." I went to the car and retrieved them. I walk back inside the house and climbed up stairs.
"Mark, I have them, let me see your hands." I say as I open the bandage box. I got some Neosporin, and the bandages out of the box. I put some Neosporin on the bandage and place it onto his hands.
"Does that feel any better Mark?" I put the trash in the box and close the lid.
"Yea, it feels a little bit better." Mark says while still hissing at the pain.
"Here Mark, I know what can help." I say to Mark as I lift up his hand to my lips. And I place a tiny kiss where he got scathed. I start to kiss upon his arm, trailing upwards. And I found myself somehow sitting upon his lap. I look up to him, and his face is as red as a ripe strawberry. I lean upwards to Mark and gave him a smooch. I back away and I put my hands on my cheeks and they are blazing. I tried to hide my face, but Mark hold my arms apart. Mark leans up to me and starts kissing me. He starts to trail down and kiss down my neck.
"Ahh, Mark..." I moan softly. Mark flips us so now I'm on the floor and he is on top of me. I start to grab onto Mark's hair, pullinh. I start to hear something vibrate and Mark climbed on top of me.
"Jack, I have to answer this." Mark went out of the room leaving me all hot and flustered.
"Yes we'll take the house. Alright, thank you. Have a nice day. Bye." Mark hung up the phone. He came back into the room. He was jumping up and down, in pure unadulterated joy.
"Come on Jack, let's go home and pack. I can't wait to live here." Mark says as he helps me up. I took his hand and we walk outside.
"I'm so happy that we will live here. It's a dream come to life." I say while Mark locks up the house. He takes my hand and walks me to the car and opens the door. He shuts the door and walks around. He got in the car and started the engine. And we trail off, to pack.
