Life With Jack Frost
Chapter 4:
"My hand just froze! What the hell happened?" Mark shouted angrily and you tried to hide your grin while Jack's sticking his tongue out at Mark.
"Whose baby are you?" Mark said flirting again with you. You glared at him and looked at him disgustingly from head to foot.
"Definitely not yours!" you said coldly and stood up and walked away from Mark and leaned on the tree nearby.
Mark was walking towards you when Jack put a slippery ice on the ground. He slipped and fell on his butt. You and Jack laughed out loud about what happened. The embarrassed boy stood up and Jack made another and you probably know what happened next. You can hardly breathe because of laughing and suddenly your cousin arrived also laughing at his friend.
"Shut the hell up and help me!" Mark yelled and his friends helped him to stand up.
"More?" Jack whispered in your ear and you nodded delightfully without a hesitation.
"Oh… you are a bad, bad girl…"whispered the young guardian heartily and made a slippery ice around all of Mark's friends. A loud laugh burst from you and the others, as well as the people walking by.
"I think…. That's enough…" you whispered so that no one could hear and think that you're a crazy girl talking to no one, but they don't know that you have a winter spirit by your side, pranking the guy you hate the most.
Jack removed the slippery ice at once. Mark and his friends straightened up but they were still laughing. The guy's face became deep red. After a few laughs and yells at each other, they continued to walk to the park.
The children were joyfully playing with Jack Frost's snow and ice. He watched them and observed them one by one. The winter spirit looked at you and you abruptly nodded. Jack's smile enlightened and started to shout joyfully as he played with the children.
You noticed that only a few of the children can see Jack and no other grown people can see him, only you and you thought to yourself that you're the luckiest girl in the world. Suddenly your moment got ruined when Mark stood beside you.
Groaning, you walked away from him and was about to join the kids playing with Jack when he grabbed your hand. You tried to free it but his grip was too tight. You were about to yell to Jack when you remembered that no one else can see him; so you yelled out to your cousin instead but Mark deterred you before you could even shout.
"Don't even think about it." Mark threatened.
Mark was about to wrap his other hand around you when you felt something cold around your waist.
Jack slammed his staff on the ground with anger and a frigid, strong wind burst that sent Mark flying on the ground.
The jerk got frightened of what happened. He looked around and the weather was just fine and the people were still talking serenely and didn't even notice the strong wind that hit him.
You looked at Jack who's looking at Mark furiously. You hugged him tightly and made his eyes blinked twice. He glanced back at you and whispered in your ear, "It's better if we go home." He said sweetly and you nodded.
You walked to your cousin and said to him that you're not feeling well. He wanted to walk you back home but you said that you're going to be fine by yourself.
You and Jack have been walking for a few minutes and didn't talk to each other for a while. Coming out a little shy.
"Ho- how… how are you feeling?" Jack suddenly asked, breaking the silence between the both of you.
"Just… fine…" you said bashfully. The winter spirit touched your hand while holding his staff with the other as it rested on his shoulders. You felt cold at first but you realized it became warm as time passed by.
You and Jack both arrived at your house. You ate your dinner after you dressed up while Jack's playing with his snowball by tossing it up repetitively.
After you dinner, you went to the living room and looked through the CDs, searching for a good movie to watch. Jack stopped throwing his snowball and walked to you. He leaned closer with his both hands behind his back while observing what you've been doing.
"What… are you doing?" he asked quaintly and looked at you. His face was a few inches away from your cheek and you blushed when he leaned closer to see what you're holding.
"We… we're going to watch a movie…" you said nervously while clearing your throat.
Jack raised his brow and went to the sofa. He waited for you to sit beside him. After a few minutes, the movie started and it lasted for two hours. You didn't notice that you fell asleep on Jack's shoulders.
The winter spirit smiled and carried you to your room and tucked you in. He lay beside you while brushing your hair and kissed your head before he went to sleep.
