Jackunzel Drabbles (The Original)

The Butler Knows Best

"Jack?"

The white haired man paused in mid stride, his white sleeves were rolled up, shirt untucked from his pressed black pants. His mouth was open, trying to sneak a pastry in before going back to shining silverware. He tucked the flaky goodness behind his back and turned a heel, looking into the door way.

Inside the rather large coat closet was the lady of the house, Mrs. Corona was always busy with fundraisers, dinners, and city hall that she rarely was seen in the house. Mr. Corona, the major of city, was much the same. Usually he forgot when they were actually home. He gave a charming white smile,

“Yes, Mrs. Corona?”

“I’ll be heading out for my flight, please do make sure that Rapunzel gets her dress for the ball tomorrow night and that she does actually attend this time.” The woman said with a sigh, gathering her coat and placing it over her arm. Jack gave her a nod,

“No problem.” He replied.

The woman gave him a smile and a pat on the shoulder before walking past him. He watched her walk away with a sigh. He had been working for this family for three years now. His step father, North, was a good friend of the mayor and the go to man for all the construction in the city. When Jack needed a job, the mayor had the perfect one for him: being a butler for their rather lonely daughter.

Rapunzel went to all private school her entire life, even now she went to the most prestigious college in the city. She had wanted to go to London to study but her parents wanted her close to home. The twenty year old was only a year younger than him and had the life experience of a ten year old. But…

Jack walked down the hall, chewing on his stolen snack as his eyes drifted through the large window to the gardens. He stopped, couldnt help but stare out at the beautiful girl sitting on a little wooden swing. Her feet were bare, her long golden hair fell down her back and swayed with her movements. She wore a summer dress with no shoes. She often spoke to him about her dislike for footwear, preferring sandals or nothing at all. Her big green eyes looked down at her romance book, smiling to herself.

The butler always thought that the daughter was pretty. He knew that the fact that she was rather beautiful, a little naive and the only child were some of the reasons the Coronas kept her as safe as possible. Jack’s breath caught in his throat when green eyes met his through the window. There was a moment before she gave him a smile and a small wave. With pale cheeks a bit pink, the boy waved back before walking out of sight. How embarrassing.

Hours were spent cleaning dishes, shining silverware, collecting clothes and running errands. He didnt mind his job. It paid well and his bosses were all nice. Not to mention he usually had a set time to arrive and leave everyday with the exception of special events at the mansion. The sun had set and he walked up the large master staircase to the blondes room, her mother had left for the week and Mayor Corona was gone as well on business. He knew that she usually locked herself up in her room at night so he carried the new finely hung dress bag to her room. He was dressed in his best slacks and white button up shirt, only this time he wore the black vest and tie with it as well. He wasnt a fan of the jacket so he usually just rolled up the sleeves when the parents were away.

“Rapunzel?” He called, giving a soft knock on her door. He sound of rustling along with soft taps on the hard wood floor made his brow furrow. His hand went to the knob and turned one of the french doors. “Punz, I grabbed you dress for— what are you doing?”

The blonde was dressed not in her pajamas but instead in pink party dress that hugged her figure, her silver heels in her hands and her hair curled in soft gold waves. Her green eyes were wide for a moment before she gave him a nervous smile.
