A Little Sane

Chapter 46

"Okay seriously! Where the fuck did you come from Jeremiah Valeska?! This is so delicious!"

Jeremiah chuckled and raised his eyebrow.

"You seem to forget that I was went to one of the top school in the country equipped with some of the top classes."

Mercedes jokingly nodded.

"Ah.. so you took a home economics class? What was your grade? Don't even try to tell me a B."

Jerermiah stared at her with a smile while she ate. 

"A+ my entire time in that class."

Mercedes shook her head, smiling.

"Is there anything you don't know?"

Jeremiah thought to himself.

"Well, I can not tell you what the polar bears are doing at this moment."

Mercedes nudged him playful.

"Well I knew that."

Jeremiah was sitting at the head of the table, but Mercedes was sitting right next to him this time. Jeremiah chuckled. They finished lunch and Mercedes smiled.

"Can we go on a walk again..? Back to the water..? I promise I won't climb any rocks... I'm pretty sure you know how to get down to the grass right by the water.."

Jeremiah jokingly rolled his eyes. 

"Of course we can."

Mercedes stared at him curiously.

"But um... can you change first?"

Ecco narrowed her eyes. Jeremiah looked puzzled. 

"What do you mean?"

Mercedes laughed.

"Not that I don't like, but... You're always in a suit.. so professional.. do you not have just some regular pants and a shirt?"

Jeremiah thought about it. 

"Actually I do. I just have no worn them in some time."

Mercedes grabbed his and started tugging him towards the hallway. Ecco kept her eyes narrowed. Jeremiah looked at her confused.

"Let's go see what you have. Come on. I won't bite you.. too hard.."

Ecco rolled her eyes. Jeremiah stood fora minute before giving in.

"Alright, we can go see."

Mercedes dragged Jeremiah to his room.

"You still remember how to get around."

Mercedes smiled and nodded. 

"Well, I did have the best tour guide."

Mercedes stepped into Jeremiah's closet and he blushed. Mercedes found a pair of black running pants with a white stripe on the side. She threw them at Jeremiah. 

"Now.. let me see..."

Jeremiah set back on his bed and laughed. Mercedes was surpised when she found a dark grey muscle shirt. She walked out of the closet with it.

"Jeremiah, you have a muscle shirt."

Jeremiah rolled his eyes.

"They are quite comfortable to work out in."

Mercedes threw it across the room and it landed on his head. She fell into laughter. Jeremiah pulled it off and stared at her. She pointed towards the bathroom.
