Girlfriend to a Baby

Intense

As we almost barged into Adamson's office both Kate and me giggling like anything still holding hands, Adamson looked up to us from his laptop with wide confused eyes. El soon entered the room and closed the door. "What the heck was that about?" Adamson said in a stern voice, "Don't you know you should knock? Huh little girl?" He walked up to me but before he could get to me, I hid behind Kate peeking my head.

"Now, now. It's not her fault. I ran and she followed so no scolding, anyways you can go back to your work, we came for some books. We'll suit ourselves" Kate said and walked towards the bookshelf that was full of hard back books. I stood there admiring the shelf when Erik walked in with a slight knock on the door. He was studying the papers in his hand until he noticed all of us.

"What are y'all doing?" He said as he handed Adamson the papers and said something in a hush-hush way. Adamson just nodded and set those papers in his desk drawer and said, "Well why don't you watch a movie instead? We'll be done in a few hours and we'll join you." I nodded my head not saying anything.

I wanted to read though. Watching is no fun.

I've got quite a nice imagination and I like to put it to use. Most people enjoy a movie rather than a book. I'm not judging but it's just something that doesn't do well with me. I can't sit still while watching or fully concentrate until I find it interesting and till the time I do, it's already over.

"So which movie would you like, baby bear?" El said as he pulled me closer to him and wrapped his arms around my shoulder. I agreed to whatever they said and without anything else we were once again seated in the living room. Only notice the film then that it was 'Titanic'. I think I had seen that before but, it's ok not like I remember anything anyways.

It was a great movie. I paid attention to everything and was enjoying very much. I also got angry with the way Cal behaved with Rose. She was so nice. The part where Jack was drawing Rose, naked and lying on the sofa got me smiling. I didn't know why but I was smiling. Later in the scene I sang along 'My heart will go on' I loved the song. It always seems to fit my imagination. No I'm happy with Jake but at times when we had little fights and he couldn't take me anymore, he'd leave the house and go out not coming home for nights, now I know where he used to stay, I'd just lay in my bed thinking of Jake that he's still out there. Waiting for me. I cried so much from the scene where Jack drowned till the time the cast and credits were played.

"Why's my baby crying? What happened babe?" Jake out of nowhere came out of a corridor and knelt in front of me.

"J-Jack.... Jake Jack..." I couldn't even stutter a sentence properly.

"Hey hey it's ok. And it's Jake baby, not Jack" he said patting my head.

"B-But Jack!!" I sobbed out.

"What's wrong? And call me Jake!" He said frustrated. I almost pulled my hair out of the roots at that. I just make him understand that I was crying because of Jack's death. And that was the only time I realised how similar the names 'Jake' and 'Jack' were.

Meanwhile Kate and El were giggling and laughing away.

"It's Jack!! He died. I'm crying that's why!" I said finally but in a hurry to blurt out I switched the words. My tears were slowing down. Soon enough Jack-I mean Jake seated me on his lap and taking my place he sat down saying that he didn't see which movie was playing. Later we four were watching 'Ratatoulie'.

I was paying attention to most of it. That is until I slept. Waking up to a different movie playing I raised my head seeing that a different pair of arms was holding me. I knew Jake's hands too well to not recognise. It was Adamson. He smiled down on me and asked if I needed anything. I simply shook my head and snuggled closer to his chest trying to get as much as comfort I can get outta him.
