Chapter 2- Almost Love
JACKNIFE'S POV
So me and Faith were going on a task together right? I think I know why Merc assigned us two to do it.
He's testing us! The big loser thinks we love each other and wants to see what we'll do!
OK I admit, I love her. But I'm pretty sure she doesn't love me. She stares at me funny when I look at her.... er.... stare at her.
Or maybe it's because she has short temper. I mean, once Merc said he needs to cut into her paycheck to get him some food she went nuts.
But still why is he testing us? Ugh the big loser has no life and just wants to come into ours. I can't have that girl if he comes in between the two of us.
Sheesh. What a loser.
FAITH'S POV
So Jacknife (a.k.a. THE GUY I LOVE) tells me that Merc is testing us.
I call it spying. He wants to see what we'll do. He wants to see what we'll say. Plus we have to wear coms in our ears so he'll be able to hear everything.
WHAT a STALKER!!! What does he think we'll be having sex on the rooftops?
.......... Ouch...........
Oh well no biggie. I do sort of like him. Jacknife's adorable. And cute and sweet and nice and smart and cool and........
Gosh I could go on forever.
I wonder if I should tell him how I feel.............
MERC'S POV
So I decided to test those two. The problem is is that I think they know. They've been giving me these ugly looks. (especially Jack.)
They make it so I HAVE to watch them. I don't want to but, the way they stare at each other makes me nervous. When ever Faith isn't looking, Jacknife stares at her..... areas......
Faith talks about him non-stop. Not always to me but to herself. She's always thinking about him. Probably day dreams about him and everything.
Oh who cares anyway? They'll do whatever they wanna no problem to me. I've just been ITCHING to fire someone.
JACKNIFE'S POV
So Faith and I were on that task right? Well, She told me that she kinda liked me.
Cool.
I told her I felt the same and she kissed me again. I told her we should go to my place- it's sure better than being here on a rooftop to get all personal.
So we headed to my place. I couldn't believe it. She fell in love with me.
But anyway, we got to my place and made out for a good 10 minutes. She kissed me all over my neck and face and it felt amazing.
She has angel lips.
She told me I was the only person she can confess to and she told me that she didn't really like Merc and his attitude.
Good for her I guess.
If only she knew I only liked her cuz she's hot.
FAITH'S POV
So I love Jacknife right?
He's cute. And funny, nice and smart.
For some reason, I have a strong desire to do more with him. Merc said he understands (thank god) and he says its totally normal.
Honestly, Merc doesn't bother me. He's like a father I never had.
But back to Jacknife, I just wanna.... ugh, sexy boy.
Now my feelings get stronger.
And desires.
I just can't resist him.
MERC'S POV
So me and Faith had a little chat about Jacknife. This is EXACTLY how it went:
"I wanna talk to you about Jacknife."
"Uh oh."
"Now listen, I know you like him and all but you shouldn't rush into-"
"Sex? That's not what I wanna do."
"Well, what do you wanna do with him?"
Faith paused for a moment. I could tell she didn't really wanna tell me. "I just wanna fall in love and have someone to hold me and kiss me."
"Faith, I understand that. You just need to understand that a runner might not be the best choice."
"Then who would you expect me to be with?! A COP?! Nobody else will love me!! You just don't understand!" Next thing I knew she ran out of the tower with tears running down her face.
Ya know what that means. If she's cryin over him, she's too far in love to let him go until she gets heartbroken.
Oh dear.
JACKNIFE'S POV
That chic.
Bad chic. Sexy chic. Cute chic.
Or I could say THE CHIC WHO WANTS TOO MUCH FROM ME.
Sure she's a babe but I don't wanna go too deep into a relationship with her. She's hot and her body's all I want!
OK I'll get over it. Just gotta think of something or someway to tell her that I don't want anything more than a hot body from her.
Gosh I hope this works.
END OF CHAPTER 2! idk if I said but this story will explain Faith and Jacknife's relationship, and (repeat AND) how and why Jacknife left being a runner and turned on Faith. (well all the runners but specifically Faith.)
