Author's Note: New chapter, yay! Enjoy.
Chapter 4
"It's all in the wrist,"
Somewhere in Brooklyn, Jack Wilder was practicing his card tossing tricks. Jack's girlfriend Lolita Hart and fellow Horseman Merritt McKinney were encouraging him on.
"Let the momentum of the card do the work for you; this last one I call the Stall." Jack said.
He tossed another card through the back of an empty car; which lands on top of the hood.
"Not bad," Merritt remarked.
Lolita nodded in agreement.
"Babe you got this," She said to Jack.
"Thanks doll face," He kissed the blonde contortionist on the lips.
"Now you want to see a thing of beauty?" Merritt asks.
"I do indeed," Jack grinned.
"Here you go,"
"And bingo, ban go, bongo;" The hypnotist tossed a card. But instead of it landing on the car, it lands on the ground.
"Oh well, at least you tried." Lolita shrugged.
"That's good. No, it's good to be positive." Jack said. "Despite making zero progress in a year,"
"Yeah," Merritt added.
"Whereas when it comes to hypnotism, the student has almost become the master. I've been practicing it on Lita here;" Jack puts his arms around Lolita.
"Ooh, that must have been fun for the both of you." Merritt grinned.
Lolita giggled.
"Yeah, I enjoyed it." She said.
Lately, Merritt gave Jack tips on hypnotism and so far, he's been getting good at it; by exercising techniques on Lolita.
Since the adventure, Lolita had with her friends ended; she and Jack continued dating. Often at times Jack would spend the night at Lolita's place, and Lolita would spend the night at Jack's place.
Aside from hypnotism, the sleight of hand had shown the honey blonde girl card tricks. Plus, Lolita showed Jack basic contortionist poses, although he could probably never be flexible.
"I like your confidence, but you might say that you have the better teacher." Merritt pointed out.
"Yeah," said Jack. "You're right, you're right. Your teacher definitely doesn't know what he's doing."
"No doubt about it," Lolita drawled.
"By the way, was this your card yesterday?" Jack inquired.
"In fact, it was," Merritt answered.
"I thought so,"
With that, Jack tossed one more card on the hood.
"That's not bad," Merritt commented.
"Two points for Jack Wilder," Lolita said.
"Thank you darling," Jack gives Lolita another kiss.
Suddenly, Daniel and Henley appeared on Daniel's motorcycle.
"If I can hypnotize Danny and Henley before you hit him with a card, I get top bunk for a week."
"Okay, that's a deal," Merritt agreed.
Jack goes over to the other two magicians.
"Hey guys, what's up?"
"Hey," Henley and Daniel said.
Jack grabs their wrists.
"Stare at the palm of your hands and as your eyes change focus; you will begin to notice…"
"Everything, because we're not hypnotized." Daniel interrupted.
"It's not working, please don't become him."
"Come on Danny, it's not a bad thing." Henley said.
"I agree with Henley," Lolita piped up. "Jack's been practicing on me,"
"Oh, not you too Lolita," Daniel sighs.
"What?" Lolita asks. "I don't mind,"
"Anyways, Dylan has a new plan and we're all going to meet him." Henley interjected.
"Whatever this new plan is, I hope it's enticing." Jack said.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm already feeling positive about it." Merritt said.
A/N: Just to let you know, when Jack's not dating Lolita he hangs out with Merritt. And when Lolita's not dating Jack, she hangs out with Henley. Just making an inference here especially since Jack said to Merritt "I get top bunk for a week." Plus, Lolita and Jack hang out with Merritt at his place at times.
Anyways, this will have to be the last chapter I'm posting because I have plans this weekend and I go back to school next Monday. But fear not, I'll resume the story once I'm out for the summer.
To those of you who reviewed, followed, and favorited; thank you. You guys rock!
Until then, see you next time!
