Stuck in you

'That's better,' Eric thought to himself.

He stared in Jack's direction and asked, "Why are you even here?"

Jack replied, "I answered the phone, remember?"

Eric frowned, he was right.

At that time, he had been in so much pain that he didn't even realize who he was talking to.

"I see," he haughtily replied.

Jack fetched a chair and sat at his bedside. He read a business magazine to kill time.

Eric felt extremely awkward around him. Having him here was already bad enough for his manhood.

If Rachel was here, then he wouldn't feel so embarrassed.

After a long moment of silence, Jack placed the magazine on the side table. He turned to see Eric staring at him.

Jack quirked an eyebrow in confusion. "Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"

Eric didn't reply and turned his head to the other side. Jack shrugged, dismissing what had just happened. After a brief while, Eric glanced at Jack again. "Why are you always around Rachel?"

"Am I always with her?"

"Yes." Every time Eric went to Rachel, Jack was always there.

Jack faintly smiled and did not reply.

Eric opened his mouth to say more, but Rachel came in bringing porridge.

Eric groaned, he hated porridge. It was so bland and mushy, that he didn't have the appetite to eat it right now. He gulped nervously. "Is that for me?"

Rachel laughed, she knew that he hated it. "Yes, I bought spareribs porridge for you."

At the sound of "porridge," Eric wanted to gag. Seeing his face, Rachel said sternly, "You don't get to choose. Eat it or else I will shove it down your throat."

"Rachel," he pleaded pitifully.

Rachel unwrapped the package and placed the porridge in front of him. "Stop shouting. It's useless. You cannot eat oily food."

Eric turned to look at the man beside him, and there was a faint smile tugging the corners of Jack's mouth. He immediately felt ashamed for behaving like a child.
