In flames

Jack wasn’t expecting Clara to say "yes" to his request of spending the night at his place so he didn’t prepare for her visit and Clara don’t have a problem with that.

She just smile and told him to take his time, after all, she’s not a small girl to cry for love.

“I’m sorry about that, it wouldn't happen again,” Jack told her when he was done clearing every mess.

“Was it her?” Clara ask

“Say what?” Jack ask back because he wasn’t clear with her questions.

“I mean that girl you said was Alex's girlfriend, is that bra hers?”

“Oh. Shit! Women!...” Jack rolls his eyes, “I thought we’re done with that?” he asks in his head.

“Uh. Can we just forget about that thing?” Jack asks hoping she will just do him a favor and let that go. “Let's get down to business” he screamed in his head while smiling at her.

“Okay, cool” she stretch herself on the sofa and went to sleep.

“What the fuck is she doing?” Jack can’t believe this, he thought something is connecting tonight. “Is all Ella’s fault, screw her!” he cursed inwardly biting his lip and looking at Clara.

She was having a hard time keeping a straight face, she could see him but pretending to be sleeping.

“Are you asleep!” Jack ask running his finger through his hair but she didn’t answer him.

Jack walk slowly to his bedroom leaving Clara in the sitting room but he couldn’t sleep.

"Clara… Clara.. wake up, you’re going to have a hunchback sleeping on the sofa". Clara could not hold it anymore she busted out laughing startling Jack.

“Seriously! Hunchback?”

“I-I thought you were sleeping?”

"Yeah I was but you woke me up, so what do you want boy?” she got up and held his shirt pulling him to her they both fell on the sofa.

“Do you want me?” Clara asks biting her lower lips and looking at him with those eyes that could send someone to hell, and those are the kind of things making Jack always want to be with her.

"She’s fun to be with, she’s cool and gentle, not like Ella and the rest." The voice play in his head.

“Yes, I want you if you will let me” he added. He didn’t want to appear taking advantage of her.

"You want me huh?..., but you have lots of women, why do you still want me?”

“Lots of women!” he repeats after her.

“They’re just women, not like you, you’re special, I can’t begin to tell you how much I need you” he let himself be pulled by her and he landed on the sofa with her.

She kiss him and he responded, they start to nuzzle each other but Clara paused.

She can’t do this, ever since Alex disappear she has been looking for that bangle but couldn’t find it, she was hoping to go back to the lady that gave it to her but she doubts if she will find her.

Where could Alex keep that bangle?. She wonders.

“Are you okay” Jack ask her when he notice she wasn’t responding to his kisses?

“I can’t do this with you”

“But why?, you don’t find me attractive enough?” he stood up and pull off his shirt to reveal his Abs.

“Stop it, is not that”

“Then what?, because I’m in flames right now” he added.
