Life With Jack Frost
Chapter 24:
You hurriedly went back home after class to prepare your parents' arrival. You saw Jaime on the way back and waved at the sweet young boy. When you got home, you saw Jack in the living room reading some magazines.
You closed the door and walked you the busy young guardian. He didn't notice that you're already there. You peeked at what he's reading and you saw that it's about being normal. You giggled and the winter spirit jumped. He looked at you with a mad face and went back to reading.
"I'm sorry…" you said with a grin. You brushed his new brown colored hair and kissed his head before changing.
While changing, your phone rang and saw your mom calling. You looked at the time and it's already five in the afternoon, the time when the plane of your parents will land.
You breathed deeply and answered the call, "Hey mom! How's the trip?" you said cheerfully yet nervously.
"Oh, hi dear!" Your mom replied, "Our trip is fine, well your father have a jet lag but he's going to be ok." she added and both of you laughed.
"By the way dear, is your boyfriend there?" Your mom said with a weird tone. Your face became crimson red and shook your head.
"He's not my boyfriend mom!" you yelled angrily covering you and Jack's relationship because you know what they will do if they knew that he really was your boyfriend. Let's just say that your mom will speak to his mom but he has none and your father will give Jack warning if he broke your heart something like that. You can hear your dad saying something in the background but you can't understand it.
"Alright dear…" your mom said heartily, "We'll be there in one hour."
Your angry eyes became round and glanced again at the time. "Ok…" you said nervously. "Bye mom see yah!" you said hurriedly and dropped the call.
You abruptly ran downstairs and called the young guardian. "Suit up Jack, they'll be here in one hour!" you said felt panicled. He put the magazine down and quickly changed in your room.
After half an hour, you both talked about what he's going to say and do. He'll leave your house for a while and be back before dinner because for sure your mom will invite your 'boyfriend.' Jack gave you his staff and hid it in your closet nice and safe.
"Why are you so nervous?" Jack said curiously. You shook your head and touched your face feeling troubled.
"Are you?" you asked as you looked at his bright light blue shining eyes.
"Nope…" he said simply and serenely. "I'm nervous about my parents…" you said with a low voice.
The young guardian laughed and kissed your forehead. "What could they possibly do?" he said with a grin.
"Well… let's see…" you said while tapping our chin, "My mom will ask you a bunch of questions about where you came from, your name, about your schooling and family." You said and shrugged "and my dad…." You breathed deeply before continuing, "he…. will stare at you creepily for sure…"
Suddenly, your phone rang and read your mom's text message. "You need to go now…" you said and gave him a hug. "See you later." You added.
The winter spirit left and recited his fake information to himself again and again. Jack also noticed a bunch of girls were gazing at him and actually making him feel cold.
"This maybe creepier than (F/n)'s dad's stare…" he muttered.
You started to clean the room a bit and took a warm shower after. While brushing your (length/color) wet hair, you heard the doorbell rang and your heart started to soar nervously.
You looked at yourself at the mirror and breathed deeply, "Jack's smart… he can do this…" you whispered. Walking down the stairs, you looked around if everything's well before opening the door.
"Mom!" you said cheerfully and hugged her. She hugged you bag and giggled. Your dad hugged you also before they went inside the room.
"The house is spotless!" Your mom said while removing her jacket. You noticed your mom was searching for something or someone and you know who it is.
You cleared your throat and got her attention. "He's not yet here mom, chillax. I told him seven in the evening just like you said." Your mom grinned and giggled.
"I'm just checking dear…" she said with a grin and blinked at you.
"So… this Jack boy," your dad suddenly spoke while chewing, "Where did you met him?' he asked inquisitively.
"Well…" you said nervously and can feel your heart beating fast, "I met him while I'm walking one night, but not too late finding something to sketch and I saw him there." You said.
Your dad nodded and waited for you to continue, "So I talked to him cause I never saw him before and asked some questions…" you added.
"Then?" Your dad said asking for more information.
"Just ask him later dad!" you yelled and your cheeks turned deep red. It's better if the young guardian tells his 'story' to avoid any mishaps and random stories about him that will make your parents wonder.
Your parents laughed and patted your head. "We're just playing with you." they said with a grin.
Groaning, you went to the living room and texted your best friend. "Oh? Who are you texting?" your mom said while peeking at your cell phone. You covered your phone and put it away from your gossip mother. She laughed and pinched your cheeks.
Your mom prepared dinner and it's almost seven. You kept looking at the time while texting with the young guardian. He's making you laugh even though he's not there and making your nervousness disappear somehow.
"What does your mom like?" –Jack
You raised your brow and texted him why. Then he said he read something about it in the internet last night. You grinned and thought that he's really studying to be a normal person. You replied back and said to just give her some pastries and tell her that it's from his mom.
After a few minutes, the grandfather clock rang but Jack is not there yet. After five minutes, the doorbell rang and your mother got excited and your father prepared his scary, serious face.
You banged your head and walked to the door. You opened it and in front of you, Jack wearing his new brown leather jacket that you bought, simple black jeans and his pair of rubber shoes. You blushed but you don't know why, maybe because you're not used to see him wearing like this especially his brown colored sleek hair similar to his brows.
"I'm five minutes late so that it won't be too peculiar." He whispered. You laughed and invited him in. You saw your parents standing in the hallway not too far from the door. Your mom has a bright smile on her face while your dad has mad, brave face.
"Mom, dad this is…. Jack." You said formally trying to hide what you're really feeling. The young guardian reached his hand to your mother and father after as he greeted them.
Your dad shook hands with him but still has still weird look on his face. You closed your eyes and banged your head secretly.
"Nice to meet you Mr and Mrs (surname)." Jack said politely with a grin. "Here my mom made these for you." he added as he reached a basket of pastries that he bought.
"Oh, tell her thank you, come dear…" your mom said with her voice like silk, "let's go to the dining room to have dinner." She added. He looked at you with a smile and you abruptly nodded. He walked a few steps in front of you and your mom whispered in your ear.
"He's handsome!" she said with a little laugh. You shook your head with a grin and followed the young guardian. All of you sat in the dining room and while eating your mom was asking Jack questions but surprisingly he has answers for all of that. Your dad got interested with Jack and his scary face disappeared as time passed by.
After dinner, your dad and Jack talked together and noticed that dad was having a fun time with Jack and actually loving him. You and your mom sat in the living room and talked about your friend.
"He's handsome dear…" she whispered so that Jack can't hear. You glared with a grin and stared at your mother.
"Mom, you told me that for like a hundred times…" you said and made your mom giggle. "He's not asking you?" she suddenly asked.
"Ask what mom?" you asked curiously and looked at the young guardian also looking at you with a grin.
"You know… to be his-"
"Oh, I think I know now… Mom!" you said with a mad face. After a few hours of laughing and talking to each other, the grandfather clock pealed and it's time for Jack to go, well not really.
"Thank you again for inviting me." Jack said politely and formally. He waved good bye to your parents and you abruptly went to your room and prepared for bed.
"So how's my play?" Jack asked while leaning on the wall beside your window.
"Perfect!" you said cheerfully. "And… it's freezing cold in here, close the window please." You said before lying in bed.
The young guardian took his beloved staff and rubbed it gently and talking to it. You glared and groaned while turning your back to the winter spirit.
"Aww? Are you jealous?" Jack said with a peculiar grin. He was about to walk to you when he heard someone coming.
She abruptly went in to your closet and hid himself. You abruptly sat up and pretended to be asleep. Your mom entered the room and grinned when she saw you sleeping. She turned your night light on and turned the lights off. She kissed your head and brushed your hair before she left.
The young guardian saw the whole thing and felt pity about your parents and thought what will happen if they knew that their daughter vanished? He rested his back and head on the cabinet and thought about himself.
