Stuck in you

The knock on the door seemed to have an impact in her heart. Rachel hesitated for a moment, but eventually limped to the door and open it.

Jack had already cleaned himself and changed his clothes. However, the scratches on his handsome face were still visible. He was holding a glass of water in one hand and some medicines in the other.

His eyes rested on her beautiful face first before they moved down to her sprained ankle. He then frowned.

"Just sit there. Why do you keep on moving around?" he scolded, his brow furrowed. Rachel was a little confused why Jack had suddenly scolded her.

"If I won't move, then how can I open the door?" she retorted innocently.

She then stepped aside so he could come in.

"Then why do you have to lock your door?" asked Jack again.

'Because I'm wary of you,' Rachel wanted to say. However, she chose to keep it to herself. She moved towards the table slowly to avoid his gaze but Jack suddenly stopped her.

"I said, don't move!" Jack's voice raised a little so Rachel was stunned. But before she could say anything, he suddenly lifted her up.

Afraid that she might fall, she automatically wrapped her arms around his neck. She was too embarrassed so she shouted at him angrily, "What are you doing? Put me down!"

Jack squinted at her and said, "You are so stubborn so you only deserve this."

Rachel was so angry that she kept on struggling from his arm. She tried to hide her flushed cheeks from him.

Looking at her blushing face, Jack's lips curved into a playful smile. He then threatened her, "If you keep on struggling like that, I will drop you."

All of a sudden, Rachel's body stiffened. She was scared of falling so she immediately obeyed him. Amused of her reaction, Jack gently carried her to the sofa.

He gently put her down and loosened his hand.

This evening, Jack held Rachel in his arms like he was very fond of her. She was like a porcelain doll that he treasured.

While Jack was checking all the medicines, Rachel sat still.

Her face still felt hot so she knew that she was still blushing. She felt extremely weird sitting next to Jack.

Was she just sick or she was already enjoying the moment? Somehow, she couldn't help feeling uneasy.

Her thoughts brought her somewhere long ago. She was reminded of a man who also used to hold her in his arms and treated her like a treasure.

Fortunately, Jack couldn't read her mind. After all, she wouldn't want him to know that she was comparing him to her father.
