Home Sweet Home
The doctor came back in a few hours and told Sherry she was good to go. They told her healing ability was back to normal and she could leave when ever she wanted. The doctor left the room she watched Jake walk out so she could get dressed with the clothes Claire bought her. She brought her a blue t shirt, dark blue jeans and black sneakers. She got dressed she was putting the shoes on when Jake opened the door a little bit.
"You dressed?" He asked from the other side of the door.
"Yep you can come in." Sherry said as she threw her hospital gown in the trash.
Jake walked in a stopped. He was surprised he had forgotten how short Sherry was with out heels on. She came to just his shoulder he had to look down to see her. He felt a slight smile come across his face.
"What are you smiling at?" Sherry asked.
"Nothing I just forgot how short you are Super Girl." Jake said with a laugh.
Sherry narrowed her eyes and punch Jake in the chest.
"I may be short but I can pack one hell of a punch. Don't you forget that Jake." Sherry said with a laugh.
"I'll try not to." Jake said with a smile.
"Well are you ready to get out of here?" Sherry asked she hated being in hospital.
"More than ready, after you." Jake said.
Sherry and Jake walked down the long hall and into the elevator. Before Claire left she told her where she parked her car. Claire chucked a little when Sherry asked her why she laughed she told her she would find out. When the elevator stopped on the bottom floor they walked out and into the parking a lot. They walked past a couple of rows of cars and finally found her.
It was a blue 2007 Nissan Maxiam SE she has had it a couple of years now. She takes good care of it so it looks almost brand new. Her and Jake walked over she hit the unlock button. They climbed inside the car Jake threw the bags of clothes in the back. She started the car and her ipod came on.
" I wanna go all the way"
"Taking out my freak tonight"
When Sherry heard the lyrics she felt her face getting really hot she knew she was blushing big time. She looked over at Jake.
"Damn you trying to tell me something Super Girl?" Jake said with that cocky grin on his face.
"No.. Claire likes the song." Sherry said as she hit next on the stereo making the next song on her Ipod play.
A rock song came on and Sherry put the car in drive. She looked out the corner of her eye she could see Jake still had that smile on his face as he looked out the window. That's why Claire was smiling. I'm going to kill her the next time I see her! Sherry thought to herself as she drove out of the parking a lot into the traffic. They made back to her apartment in two hours. The ride back was quite Jake looked out the window seeing the city for the first time. Sherry was to embarrassed to try to stat a conversation.
Sherry pulled into usual parking spot. She cut the car off she grabbed her ipod and put it her pocket. Jake grabbed the bag of clothes and got out the car. They walked into the apartment building. They got on the elevator Sherry hit the button for the 6th floor. Once the elevator stopped on the 6th they got out. Sherry walked down the hallway and stopped at her apartment door. She opened the door and let Jake walk in first.
Jake walked in and looked around her apartment. It was nice it had a kitchen area, living room. The kitchen was painted a brown with hard wood floor. The living room was painted a dark red with a 47 inch T.V on the wall and stand underneath it. It had a gaming system and dvd/blu ray player on it. It had DVDs, Blu Rays, and a couple of games.
"Home sweet home." Sherry said as she sighed.
"It's a nice place." Jake said.
"You haven't seen it all." Sherry said.
Sherry started to walk down the hallway Jake followed her. She stopped about half way down the hall and opened the door. It was a bedroom painted a dark brown. It had a double bed with a dresser, nightstand, with dark curtains. She walked over and opened a sliding door.
"You can put your clothes in there." Sherry said.
"Thanks." Jake said and sat down the bag he was carrying on the bed.
Sherry walked out of the bedroom she walked down a little more then stopped at another door. She opened and it was a bathroom it was pained a light blue.
"Guest bathroom." Sherry said as she looked around.
"Alright." Jake said.
"Oh crap their's no towel hold on a sec I will get one." Sherry said.
Sherry walked out and opened the door at the end of the hallway. She opened her bathroom door and grabbed a towel and box of soap for Jake and walked out. She froze a little a she saw Jake leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed looking everything over.
Her room was painted blue, with a queen bed, dresser, with a TV on the wall, and a nightstand. She walked back over and stood in front of Jake held out the towel and soap in front of him. Jake stood up straight and grabbed the soap.
"Nice room." Jake said as he looked over at the bed and the back to Sherry.
Jake watched her blush a little and couldn't help but chuckle a little.
"So are you hungry. I could fix us dinner." Sherry said she walked out her bedroom and into the hall.
She felt stupid blushing because he said he liked her room. I mean yes he was the first guy to ever see her room. She has never let any guy see her room. The only person that had ever been in there was Claire. She walked over to the kitchen and opened the cabinets she didn't have much but she had to have a little something.
Jake walked into the kitchen and looked at the cabinet he saw she had rice, canned chicken. He could cook for them he could make the chicken rice he loved so much. Plus Sherry just got out of the hospital she should be taking it easy.
"Hey how about you let me cook. I can make you some chicken rice." Jake said.
"Jake you're my guest. I should be cooking for you." Sherry said.
" Nah it's alright plus you just got out of the hospital." Jake said and gave her a look that said there was no point in arguing with him.
"Alright fine. I'm going to take a shower." Sherry said.
"Ok. It should be ready when you get out." Jake said.
Sherry was walking down the hallway, she half way down the hall. She couldn't resist she had to say it.
"Just don't burn the place down while I'm in shower!" Sherry yelled playfully.
"I wont." Jake said.
Sherry walked in to the bathroom and shut the door. Her phone bussed in her pocket it took it out and saw that it was a text from Claire.
So I guess you know why I laughed at little before I left huh.
Yes I do. That was so not funny Claire. My face was bright red. How could you do that to me! Sherry texted back.
Sherry laid down her phone went and started the water. She heard her phone buss she walked back over and looked at it.
Sherry you're in love with him. Everyone can see it. Just tell him already before he disappears again. Who knows if you tell him this time he might stick around. Claire texted.
Sherry laid the phone down as she got undressed and jumped in the shower. Would he really stay if I told him that I was in love with him. Sherry thought to herself as she took a shower.
Jake found a pot he put water in it and waited for it to boil. He saw Sherry put down her Ipod on the table. He walked over and picked it up. He looked around the room and saw she had a stereo near the T.V he walked over and hooked the ipod into the stereo. He pushed shuffle and music started to play. He thought about Sherry in the shower he shook his head.
He walked back to the oven and saw that water was boiling. He added the rice and moved it to another burner. He heard a door open and knew Sherry was out of the shower. He grabbed two plates he put the rice on them he took out the canned chicken and put it one the rice. He put the plates on the table the song ended another one started.
Jake looked up and he froze. Sherry was standing in a tank top that clung to her body with black sleeping shorts. She walked over to the table smiling he shook his head and turned around to grab napkins.
"This looks and smells great Jake." Sherry said.
"Thanks." Jake said as he put the napkins on the table.
"What would you like to drink." Sherry asked.
"Soda is fine with me." Jake said.
Sherry sat down to cokes as Jake walked over and cut the stereo off. He joined Sherry at the table. They ate in silence for the most part. They were half way through the meal when Sherry pushed her plate little away from her.
"God I'm full where did you learn to make that Jake its good." Sherry asked then to a sip of her drink.
"I just made it up not hard to do." Jake said with a smile as he pushed his plate away he was full to.
"So where did you learn how to cook?" Sherry asked.
"I was self taught, I mean my mom taught me until I was 16, then after that figured everything else out on my own." Jake said as he looked down.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"
"It's alright Sherry. It hard to talk about her sometimes. I still like to talk about her though." Jake said.
Sherry smiled as she got up taking the plates to the sink and starting to run the water. Jake walked up beside her he grabs the dish towel but she takes it from him.
"No you cooked me dinner. I'm doing the dishes." Sherry said as she started to rinse a plate.
"Yea but you giving me a place to crash so I'm helping. I wont take no for an answer either." Jake said as he dried a plate and put it away.
They did the dishes once they were done Sherry walked into the living room and sat down on the couch.
"You want to watch a movie?" Sherry asked Jake.
"Yea sure just let me take a shower then we can watch one." Jake said as he was walking down the hallway.
Sherry sat there she heard the bathroom door shut then the water cut on. She imaged Jake undressing, seeing those muscular shoulders arms, his chest and back. Sherry shook her head she went and turned on the stereo. She turned it up really loud so she didn't have to hear the shower running. She sat down on the couch and listen the song that came on. After that one of songs she loved came one.
She closed her eyes and listen to the drum and guitar intro to the song. She started singing with the lyrics.
"Don't look don't look the shadows breathe"
"Whispering me away from you"
"Don't wake a night to watch her sleep"
"You know that you will always loose"
"This trembling adored"
"Tousled bird mad girl"
Sherry hears another voice join her in the chorus.
"But every night I burn"
"Every night call your name"
"Every night I burn"
"Every night I fall again"
She watches Jake walk in front of her and sits down beside her on the couch. She looks at him she couldn't believe he knew this song. It was one of her favorite songs.
"How do you know this song" Sherry asked as she looks at him with disbelief.
"When I was 17, I was with a group of mercenary's. This one guy played this song over and over when every we got free time. I asked him to hear it and when I did I liked it. It's been on of my favorites ever since. I haven't heard it in 4 years but I remember every verse." Jake said.
"It's one of my favorite's to. I love The Crow movie also." Sherry said.
"There's a movie?" Jake asked her.
"What you didn't know there's a movie!" Sherry asked shocked.
"No." Jake said as he looked at her.
"Well then we are going to have to watch it." Sherry said as she stood up.
She cut the stereo off she turned the T.V and blu ray player on. She grabbed the blu ray a put it in. When she closed it she turned around and her breath caught in her throat her heart even skipped a beat. She didn't notice before but she noticed now. Jake was sitting there in just dark red sleeping pants, shirtless his chest still wet from the shower. She thought he looked good when he had dirt and blood all over him. Now she thought he just looked plain sexy sitting there. Jake got a cocky grin on his face.
"You see something you like?" He asked with the cocky grin as he stood up from the couch.
Sherry noticed that his sleeping hung loosely around his hips. She saw his muscled stomach along with the rest of his body.
" I'm going to go get us some drinks." Sherry said.
She walked into the kitchen and went to the fridge she looked back she saw Jake had sat back down on the couch. She looked inside and saw that there was one beer left from when Leon and Claire were last visiting her. She grabbed herself a coke and the beer for Jake. She came back into the living room and handed him the beer.
"Thanks." Jake said.
Jake watched her cut the lights off and grab a light blanket then she sat back down. She pushed play on the movie and it began to play. Jake recognized the part where his favorite song was in it. About half way through the movie he saw Sherry shaking even with the blanket. He took another sip of his beer then put it down on the table.
Sherry saw Jake move out the corner of her eye then he grabbed her and pulled her to him. Jake laid down on the edge of the couch. He pulled Sherry up on his chest and wrapped an arm around her.
"What are you doing?" Sherry asked.
"Relax Super Girl get warm I don't bite⦠Unless you want me to." Jake said.
Sherry blushed she was getting warmer but her heart was also beating really fast. She has only laid on him like this once and that's when she was protecting him a sharp piece of metal impelling him. Sherry noticed that Jake's breathing was a little heavier and his heart was beating fast also. Maybe she wasn't the only one being effected by being this close. After awhile her heart calmed down and she relaxed. It felt right laying here with Jake like this. She could smell him he smelled of soap and a little bit of musk, she liked it. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling.
Jake watched the last scene in the movie then ending credits come up. He shook his head.
"I liked it, but I think he killed them to quick." Jake said.
Jake waited for a few minutes waiting for Sherry to answer. When she didn't Jake looked down at her. She was asleep her mouth open a little bit, her breathing deep and even. She looked peacefully Jake didn't have the heart to wake her. So he cut the TV off and the blu ray player off. He fixed the cover so it was over both of them. Jake kissed on the top of the head.
"God help anyone who tried to do that to you. Also god help that son of bitch that shot you. When I find out who did it he's dead." Jake said.
Jake closed his eyes he hugged Sherry a little tighter as he drifted off to sleep.
