Life With Jack Frost
Chapter 22:
You're reading some of the lessons you missed for the past two days in your room while the young guardian's watching television. Suddenly, the house phone rang and you didn't hear it ringing.
Jack Frost stood up, looked at your room from downstairs and waited for you to come out but you didn't. He cleared his throat before answering the phone and he heard a woman's voice talking to him.
"Hello?" Jack asked politely.
"Oh, hello? Is- is this (F/n)'s cousin?" The woman asked.
The young guardian scratched his head and looked up to your room but you're still not coming out. "Sorry, ma'am I'm- (F/n)'s friend." He said nervously.
He can hear the woman talking to someone and sounding excited. It took her a minute or two before talking back to him. "Really?" she said cheerfully, "She's – she's your new friend?" she added.
"Uhmm…." Stammered the young guardian, "Who are you exactly?" Jack asked curiously and wants to know who the happy woman he's talking to is.
"Oh, I'm sorry… I forgot to introduce myself." The woman said with a little laugh and continued, "I'm (F/n)'s mother."
Jack widened his eyes and wiped his face and doesn't know what to say and can't think about anything.
"What's your name young boy?" She asked cordially and the young guardian closed his eyes hard before answering, "Ja- Jack ma'am." He said nervously. "Jack Frost."
"Really? Your name is the same as the character (F/n) is reading!' she said while giggling. "Between us dear, she has a huge crush for him."
Jack laughed and covered his mouth and replied to your mom, "Oh… Is that so?" he said with an odd tone.
Your mother was answering the young guardian a bunch of question and the winter spirit has been confident while talking to her. Suddenly, you came out of your room and heard the young guardian talking to someone. Your eyes widened and you hurriedly ran downstairs and saw him talking over the phone.
"Who are you talking to?" you asked with a worried face. The young guardian blocked the lower part of the phone before replying to you.
"It's your mom…" he whispered with a grin and continued talking over the phone. "She wants to meet me."
Your jaw dropped and your eyes widened. You tried to snatch the phone from the young guardian but he kept pushing you away.
"She wants to tell you hi." Jack said and talked to your mother again. They talk to each other like they've been friends for a long time.
"No I'm from a different… school." Jack said and blinked at you. "Yes, me and (F/n) are good friends, very good friends."
"She didn't tell me that…" he said and you have no idea what they are talking about but surely they're talking about you. "Well maybe because I'm a different kind of guy." He added and grinned at you.
"Oh- ok (mother's name)- no she's right here." Jack said and you suddenly backed away. While signing the young guardian to tell your mom that you're not here, he's reaching you the phone and coaxed you to talk to her.
"Your mom's pretty cool!" Jack said cheerfully while giving the phone to you. "I bet she's pretty too like you." he added.
Groaning, you took the phone and breathed deeply before talking to your cunning, silly mother. "Hey mom! How are yah?" you said blissfully.
The young guardian leaned on his staff while watching you talking to your mom and he has a feeling that you're rather nervous about what she's about to say.
"Yes, a new friend mom- NO he's not! - What?" you said and looked at the young guardian with your bug eyed eyes. "Al-alright… Of course!" you added and feigned a laugh.
"Ok mom- Love you too." You said heartily and unfortunately your mom thought she turned her phone off but she's too excited. You can hear her shout with excitement and talked about what the boy looked like and other things.
You hang the phone up and breathed deeply. You're about to cry while you're glancing at your witty winter spirit.
"I am soooo dead!" you yelled and covered your face. The young guardian laughed as he pointed at you. You started to chase him around the house and finally caught his wooden staff.
"Hey, give that back!" Jack shouted frantically.
"This is just not MY problem alright? It's OUR problem!" You yelled back and put his staff in your closet and locked it.
"What's the big deal? Your mom just wants meet me. What's the matter with that?" Jack asked with an angry look all over his face.
"WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT!" you shouted.
The young guardian backed away and got a little frightened of you. He walked slowly to you and brushed your (length/color) hair.
"I can let your mother see me, (f/n)." He said sweetly and tried to calm you down.
"That's not what I'm- never mind… you won't understand…." You said as you look down. "What else did she say?" you asked trying to change the conversation.
"They'll visit here on Saturday." Jack said and your eyes widened again in shock. "What?!" you asked madly. "Wha- what about you? They- they can't just see a bare feet good looking young boy with white hair and frost all over his clothes in the house!" you exclaimed.
The young guardian laughed and gave you a hug. You're too stunned to hug him back and too worried about how'll your parents react if they saw your boyfriend, friend for them, looking peculiar and not ordinary.
"You're smart, think of something!" Jack said cheerfully and pinched your nose.
You sat on your bed and rested your face in the palm of your hands as you think about something and fast. You have two days before your parents will get home. You glanced at the young guardian serenely while observing and analysing him.
"We really need to do something about your white hair…" you muttered.
The young guardian smirked and looked at himself in the front of the mirror. You stood up and hugged him from behind while running his fingers through his rare white-snow colored hair. You kissed his shoulder and he grinned and grasped your hand with the cold, pale hands of his.
"Are you sure my parents will be able to see you?" You asked thoughtfully remembering that people or children can only see the winter spirit only if they believe in him.
"I CAN let them see me." Jack said with a grin. You stared at the young guardian's bright light blue eyes for a minute or two and gave him a warm soft kiss.
When your lips parted, your face became crimson red and the young guardian just gave you his sweet grin of his.
Suddenly, you heard the grandfather clock rang and abruptly went downstairs to prepare for dinner. The young guardian watched as you prepare.
"Wait a minute…." Jack whispered when he realized that something's missing that's very crucial to him. "Where's my staff?" he asked you furiously.
Looking at the guardian with a weird grin, you shook your head and he walked closer to you. "Give it back." He said serenely but you didn't answer back.
You sat on the chair and started to eat you dinner. You glanced at the time and noticed that it's already seven in the evening. You put the plates and the utensils in the sink after you drank a glass of water.
You sat on the sofa and turned the television on and the young guardian stood in front of you making you lurch side to side.
"Give my staff back." Jack said seriously but you aren't listening. He suddenly took the remote from your hands and turned the t.v off.
"I won't give it back to you. You're the one who made this predicament I'm in right now." You said with your arms crossed.
Jack's lips turned into an evil smile as he leaned closer to you. Blushing, you tried to stand up but he sent you back on the couch and lay you down.
"And… what exactly I'm gonna do to take my staff back?" he said with a weird tone while he's on top of you and leaning closer to your deep red face.
Shaking with nervousness, you looked at the young guardian's hypnotizing blue eyes as he leaned closer to you.
"What makes you think I want you to kiss me in order to give you your staff?" you said formally but the winter spirit kept moving closer.
"I don't think…. I know you me to kiss you." he said cordially and gave you a cold yet warm kiss. You're looking at him while locking his lips with yours. He suddenly opened his eyes and kissed deeper while touching your red cheeks.
"Now… my staff…" he muttered when he backed away. You shook your head and stared at him with your flaccid, shaking eyes.
"I told you-"
The winter spirit pressed his lips againsts yours and put his hands at the back of your head and raises you up a bit as he kissed you deeper.
After a minute he broke the kiss and gave you a weird grin, "More?" he asked with a creepy tone combined with his peculiar, rare smile.
You pushed him away and went upstairs to get his magical wooden staff. Groaning while mounting down the stairs, you saw the young guardian waiting for you at the end.
"Thank you!" Jack said with a grin. "It was worth it." he added.
You looked at him and glared. You face was still deep red. You sat on the couch and the winter spirit turned the t.v on before sitting beside you. Looking away from the winter spirit, he put his arm around your shoulders and waited for you to glance at him.
"Come on… I know you enjoyed it." Jack said with a grin.
