15 Can he cook food??

JACK WILLIAM NICHOLSON

That's great name for 'not great man'. Ha!

Charlotte take turn and we entered through the gate towards the rail of apartments or bungalows? We stopped at last house having massive space marked with fence. She again took left turn and we soon entered into basement and I saw Beautiful Car which belong to Mr. Fur- oh JACK NICHOLSON – No it's Mr. Furious for him from ME!!

We reached to front door and Charlotte opened door with the keys she had. I think everyone have their keys to each other's house. We entered into house with tulips in my hand.

It's totally different from inside than it looks from outside. The walls of the apartment are of bricks and painted like emphasizing the Bricks designs. The wall opposite the couch was nude showing insides bricks and hall was all white. The far end of hall was made out of glass. I just got dragged towards glass wall which was showing a canal view after a long garden and tiny spots of Amsterdam life other side of canal. The garden has small trees with fairy lights hanging over it. I think it's Charlotte's doing because it's same as the tree at her home.

Soon came Ethan whistling into living room. He looked surprised seeing me there. I gave him a nod in acknowledgement.

"Joining for lunch?" he asked me.

"Yes. I thought it would be at restaurant though. But Charlotte had different plan so I am here."

"Nice to see you here. What for lunch Charlotte?" he asked Charlotte.

"Where's Zacky by the way?" She asked ignoring Ethan's question.

And our heads turned to the sound of clicking boots as Mr. Furious descending the dark wooden stairs. Again Formal!! This time without suite though.

He stopped in his track once he spotted me and immediately looked at sheepishly smiling Charlotte.

I knew it. I m not invited here at all. And I also glared at her for dragging me here.

He shook his head and turned to the couch in living room. Not glancing at me even once. I know that I m not invited here but it's all Charlotte's fault. He could just have greeted me with simple Hello!

Not possible.

I dragged myself to the end of couch and sat there. I just looked around everywhere but these three idiots to avoid any embarrassing situation.

"Did you bring these tulips?" Ethan asked question directed towards me.

"Ohh these flowers? Yes." I stood up and handed a bunch of tulips to Mr. Furious. A small smile appeared on Charlotte's lips and she shared a look with me and soon we burst out in fit of laughter.

"That was hilarious J" Charlotte said it. Again J? Jiyana is cute name and there's no waste of time to pronounce my full name!

"What was hilarious?" Ethan asked curiously and Mr. Furious looked annoyed as usual.

Charlotte controlled her laughter and told them what happened at that arrogant lady's house. And soon Ethan was on the verge of falling down from couch but somehow managed to stay in his position.

"And you are lucky enough that the tulips are only flowers Zacky loves or else you would have been out of this house by now." Ethan said it and I froze at my place. I saw Jack placing the flowers in Jug of water with other flowers on the table like furniture in corner. He left towards kitchen.

How can a person like only one type of flowers? This man is something else.

"What about lunch?" comes harsh voice from kitchen? Is he going to prepare lunch? What if he add something poisonous in my food?

I turned towards Charlotte quirking my eyebrows upward. She understood and told me that Jack here is the one who is going to prepare food for us.

"He can cook food? As in Mr. Fur- Jack can cook food? How good is it? Is it eatable or you swallow it down your throat due to unwanted –" I immediately shut my mouth as I felt deathly stare from Mr. Furious handling knife in one hand. He slowly held knife up directing towards me as if giving me secret message.

"What is it for lunch?" Seriously J? You can't even change the subject smartly!! And why the hell i called myself 'J'? Charlotte and Ethan gave me a spectacle look like they are figuring out something? And for the first time Ladies and Gentlemen I noticed Mr. Jerk (I recently change his name for doing that threatening stuff) smirking which lasted mere 5 seconds.

"What?" I asked Charlotte and Ethan looking at me surprised?

"Did you just try to insult Zacky's food?" Ethan asked.

"And did you just try to change subject in which you miserably failed?" Charlotte asked. I knew that anyone can catch that!!

"And and she is still in the house" Ethan said turning towards Jack folding his hands.

"And alive to be precise." Charlotte completed him. With that she also turned to Jack putting her forearm on Ethan's shoulder. I saw him turning his attention to his COOKING.

I shrugged at their nonsense questions and went back to my previous position on couch.

***

Jiyana just can't trust the man who accused her being stranger! She can't help it. For her, getting on his nerves is the best thing for now as she doesn't have any work to do or college to attend.

Ethan and Charlotte found it strange to slight change in Jack's nature. Jiyana obviously couldn't get that as she barely knows any of them for that matter!!!

Let's see , is Jiyana going to swallow down the food or is she going to actually enjoy it?

Happy Reading!!!
