Stuck in you

Rachel gently moved the chair to stand up. She headed towards the bathroom in the lounge.

Jack suddenly heard a cry from the bathroom. In surprise, he looked up from the magazine and placed it aside. "Rachel?"

There was no reply. Worried, he stood up walking to the bathroom. "Rachel? Are you okay?"

She answered in a muffled voice, "I’m fine."

Half of her body had gotten wet in the bathroom. Panicking, Rachel rushed to look for the water valve.

The faucet had suddenly broken down, spilling water on her clothes. She was unable to find the valve, and the water continued to spew from the broken faucet.

Rachel had no choice, but to turn to Jack for help.

"Jack, please come in."

Waltzing in, he saw the mess that she had made. Jack was surprised. "What's going on?" he asked.

"The faucet wouldn't turn off. I think it's broken. Can you do me a favor and fix it?" she asked.

Jack tried to observe the surroundings. "Alright. Let me see."

Water continued to pour out on the floor. With a frown, he lifted his feet and stepped on the wet floor.

Rachel followed. "I can't find the valve."

Jack squatted down and found the pipe behind the sink. It penetrated into the wall, which meant only one thing.

"It's outside," he said and turned around. "I'll ask for help to find where the main valve is."

His sight fell on Rachel's wet body. His throat tightened and he felt his face getting hot. "Tell me who I should ask. I'll be the one to go."

Rachel stepped away from the flowing water. "I am not pretty sure. I think you should go to the management office." Her face suddenly contorted. "Ahhh!"

She seemed to step on something, and she slipped and fell forward. She was frightened and screamed out loud, which also scared Jack.

Fortunately, he was quick to respond, and grabbed her arm, pulling her to his chest. He groaned as her head collided with his broad muscles.

Still suffering from the shock, she held on tightly to Jack's arm. She slowly looked up to meet his pale face. "I am so sorry, are you okay?"

She had bumped into him with great force. Now that her head was pressed against him, she could hear his groaning clearly.

She slowly got up and Jack let go of his arm around her. "I'm fine."
