Stuck in you

Rachel was just 25 years old.

Jack wondered as to how a young girl like her could look like this.

As far as he could contemplate, most girls of her age would have just graduated and would be indulged in playful activities.

She appeared to be totally unlike any of them. She had a mature face and lived an extensively conservative life.

Considering her living circumstances, Jack was well aware that she couldn't have claimed these extraordinary achievements by virtue of her birth. It had to be the result of her blood, toil, tears and sweat.

A few people who usually tend to flatter him for his wit and wisdom only made him feel ridiculous.

His achievements were envied by others as miraculous but hardly anyone bothered to notice the strenuous struggles he had to endure for the same.

'No pain, no gain. We have to pay a lot to achieve our goals,' he thought.

Rachel had now made some envious achievements, which he believed was nothing but the result of her determined and steadfast efforts.

On the young and beautiful face of hers, he had rarely gotten to witness a shred of haughtiness.

The curious and fervent nature of a few things were hidden beneath it.

Although calmness was a valuable attribute, this wasn't how a young woman was supposed to be.

It was best for them to get into certain status at certain age.

Perhaps Rachel herself hadn't taken notice of the fact that when she was with him, she behaved like an altogether different person.

Rachel's calm and quite personality withered away into a dashing character.

It wasn't so bad of her to explore the naughty side of her mind with a pinch of curiosity.

Teasing her became a very satisfying event for him.

It wasn't long before everything stooped back to square one. They continued to hang out for a while.

Rachel suddenly fathomed that she had even forgotten to take a photo with him.

She gobbled up the cup of mung bean soup when she returned.

She couldn't help letting out a low hiccup. She stare at Jack with a guilt ridden mind.

Jack raised his hand and pinched Rachel's nose playfully. "Do you still want to have some snacks?"

She gently licked her lips with the tip of her tongue. She had serious doubts regarding the empty space in her stomach tonight.

She shook her head and said shyly, "I can't eat anymore. I'm as full as a tick."

She noticed that the manager of the hotel was approaching them. After greeting them, the manager handed over a box of local deserts to them, which were specially prepared for the temple fair.

Jack accepted it without any hesitation and thanked her politely. Knowing that they were hanging out tonight, the manager quickly deflected the topic.

She politely enquired about where all they had visited so far. Mesmerized by the round face of the manager, Rachel couldn't stop admiring her beauty.

Knowing that she was a local here, Rachel had a detailed conversation with her while quickly noting down any helpful insights she had regarding these places.
