Chapter 2: Meet My Family (part4)

      Jack kept walking in circles as he held his phone on his right hand still worried about Claire. "Why isn't she calling yet?" Jack opened his phone to check, "hmm... Is she alright? Or did something happen to her? Oh gosh please no!" Jack abruptly walked back and fort, from and to every corner of his bedroom. Until he heard a knock on his door. "Jack? Can we talk?" his sister Jennifer calmly stated, "oh of course! Come in, come in," Jack opened the door and invited his sister in.

      "So... What do you want to say?" Jack sat on his bed. "Can I ask you a question?" Jennifer sat beside Jack, "sure sis! What is it?" Jack smiled at his sister. "Do you like Claire?" Jennifer pointed at Jack, "what?! No! Hehe, why?" Jack tried to hide his intense tomato-red face. "Come on man! You can tell your older sis anything," Jennifer gave him a wink, "besides, it's pretty obvious and very noticeable bro," she added. "Is it really?" Jack shyly raised his head to look at his sister. "Yes dude," Jennifer chuckled, "well then... Can you keep it a secret for me?" Jack asked, "why? Why don't you just tell her?" Jennifer picked Jack's phone up and gave it to him. "I want to, sis. But... It's not that easy! I mean, what if she doesn't like me the same way I like her! And then she ignores me after?! I don't want to lose the three year's friendship we both worked hard on. I'll tell her at the right time, I promise. But... Not today sis," Jack seriously explained to Jennifer. His sister looked at him for a while clearly understood the feelings of his younger brother then softly smiled. "My little brother... Oh, it's true that love is amazing. Alright, I promise I won't tell anyone, now get some rest. I'll see you tomorrow," Jennifer placed a light punch on Jack's left shoulder, and as she stood up, she again smiled at Jack and left the room.

      After Jennifer left the room, Jack opened a white box and pulled out blue and green colored earphones. He then plugged the earphones to his phone and placed them in his ears. He hummed the lyrics: <Maybe tomorrow, I'll find the courage to say!~ Maybe someday, in front of the altar we'll pray-eh-he~ey~ Ooh baby I'll try to make you mine. In the future, I'll take you love, far far away~>. He closed his eyes while he sang, not caring about the time passing by... Or anything that's going on in his surrounding. Just simply listening to music.

•An hour later•

      He fell asleep while listening to music, he then slowly opened his stunning eyes and took a peek around his room. His face emotionless but drowsy, as he just woke up from a nap. He searched for his phone and checked the time. "Oh it's 9:00pm," he whispered, "Mmmm... Wait! 9:00PM!? I totally forgot! Now I missed supper. Oh no!!! But I love food!" Jack quickly pulled his earphones out of his ears and threw his phone on the bed. He hurried out of his room and down the stairs.

•Down stairs•

      "Good evening young master," a maid greeted him. "Where's mom and dad?" Jack pulled out a chair and sat on the luxurious dining table. "Master and madam went on a date night, but they have tasked me to cook dinner for you young master," the maid arranged his utensils and plate, "then... How about my sister?" Jack started getting food. " Young lady has gone to sleep 30 minutes ago. If there's anything you need, please call me young master," the maid bowed and stood beside him. "Oh Ok. You may leave me now," Jack waved his hand as a gesture, "as you please young master," the maid took another bow then left the dining room.

      "Mmm~ the pumpkin soup is divine! Also, I can't get enough of these grilled shrimps! But I will never forget about the egg fried rice. Yummy!" Jack ate fast and plenty of what's on the table.

      "Hehe- Ugh! Umm... Ehemm!" Jack placed his hand on his chest having difficulty on breathing. He continued gasping for air as he tried to crawl out of his chair and get help, but before he can even shout, he passed out.
