Secrecy of Regrets

51 - Finest Piece of Eligible Bachelor

51 – Finest Piece of Eligible Bachelor

"I can help." – That was okay, but how?

I came to Jack's home skipping my college. I knew pass-codes to the door in absence of keys so I just went there to seek not so expert's advice.

I thought about barging into Jack's room but the thought of piles of clothes and wrecked room stopped me. So I turned to his study room.

I expected his study room to be painted as black or grey just like his nature but can I guess the things right when they are connected to Mr. Mysterious? The walls were all creme coloured giving sense of peace – At least he needed it. One glass wall showing perfect view of his well-managed garden. The table and a chair giving the occupant 'I am the Boss' feeling. One wall covered in books and lots of books to be specific.

I tried to find some mythological books or even sci-fi books but failed. All the books were related to business strategies, influencers and motivational speakers. So I had only one option left – that was to sit and wait for Mr. Jerk to realise someone was in his study.

I was sitting on table hanging my legs and scrolling through social media accounts. I heard the footsteps but made no efforts to make my presence known. However Mr. Very Intelligent got the idea – probably from my backpack lying on couch – no Sherlock.

"We have chairs and couch to sit and a table to work." – Finally reached Mr. Jerk.

"So we need new plan." – I said completely ignoring his snarky comment.

"So you have new plan!" – He stood before me leaving some space to save me from suffocation.

I looked at him, trying to intimidate me with his posture. But little did he know that I am pro!

No... Not like 'He cannot intimidate me!'

I am pro at not letting him know that he successfully did that intimidating thing.

"But this time from Ethan's P.O.V." – I said excitedly clasping my hands together .

"What does that mean?" He asked shifting his weight on other leg.

"Urghh, this time Charlotte is not supposed to know that we are planning this set up." – I explained.

I was eyeing him verily thinking – 'Why can't your dumb friends see the things whole world can see!'

And to say little too loud for my thoughts, Jack stared at me raising his eye brow.

"Okay Our Friends. OUR FRIENDS!" – I had to correct.

"And what is the plan this time?" – He asked again.

"Aha, when it comes to call them dumb you would be ready to attack for calling them your friends and when it comes to forming plan – 'What is my plan?'" – I scolded him and it felt so good!

Much to my relief and for unknown pang of disappointment, Jack sat on couch and I routed to the same spot on table.

15 minutes...

In those 15 Minutes we only changed our position of sitting. Jack had now his head rested on couch and I folded my legs and sat in Indian Style. I managed to grab a pencil from corner of the table to play with it while we think.

When nothing came to my mind I simply asked – "Why can't we just go to them and say it on their faces – 'Hey, Ethan Charlotte loves you and Charlotte – Ethan loves you. Now you may kiss your future wife away from my eyes and Get out!"

I looked at Jack expectantly with twinkled eyes only to get that flat starring.

"Then you think" – My shoulder slumped in defeat.

Jack was thinking hard. And I had nothing to do so I was staring at him. My thoughts took a train. How can someone look so ready to attack and devilishly handsome and Jerk at the same time?

I noticed that he had rolled up his sleeves as always. His formal grey shirt and black trousers were absolutely drool worthy for other girls, not for me I was just examining you know. I saw his black very well polished shoes and suddenly I remembered my almost muddy sneakers which were begging to be cleaned once in a while. It is just that my footwear never had that privilege to get cleaned.

Overall conclusion I reached was that Jack is the finest piece of eligible bachelor the girls will die for.

"How about a girl meets Ethan at the bar, they get clicked and something like that?" – My train was stopped with very stupid idea of Jack. I stopped twirling the pencil and made a face completely disliking the idea.

"Why is it not a good idea?" – He got the idea and asked me the reason.

"I just concluded that you are a finest piece of eligible bachelor, somewhat smart but now I withdraw it and you could come up with this idea? Whose funeral do you want to attend to – the girl's or Ethan's?"

And before he could utter a word I said – "Because I am sure Charlotte will kill either one or both of them. We want Charlotte to be associated with the girl we'll set Ethan with."

I lectured the Jerk which should give me the pleasure but his smirk gave me doubts.

I narrowed my eyes at him and then he said it.

"Finest piece of Eligible Bachelor? I see." - I turned around my back facing him witnessing his smirk and his rare smile.

"I said I withdraw my conclusion." I tried to cover up but the things had been said and couldn't be undone.
