Stuck in you

Marcus' words failed to goad Jack in surrendering. Rubbing the space in between his eyebrows, Jack sighed. "I've been exhausted lately."

Michael snorted. "And why is that?"

Eric was the only one who knew exactly why Jack was so tired.

"He has been taking care of Rachel," he stated proudly.

Eric patted Jack's shoulder. He didn't notice the smile that carved into his lips.

Rachel was half asleep when the bed sank. The smell of alcohol wafted across her, and she couldn't help but wrinkle her nose.

"Did you drink?" she murmured.

Jack's eyes widened. "Is the smell that strong?"

He made sure that he took a shower before coming to bed in fear that the smell might cause her to vomit.

Rachel slowly opened her eyes, yawning. "I have a good nose."

She tapped her nose to emphasize her point. "It's not that strong though. Did they leave?"

Jack pulled her into a kiss. "No, they're still in the living room."

"Why did you leave them?"

"Eric is with them right now."

"Eric?"

"Yes. There's no need to worry about them. Let's sleep now."

Michael and Marcus had initially planned to drink with Jack. However, Jack decided to run away and let Eric serve as his scapegoat.

Eric's head hurt so much in the morning from all the drinking he did. In fact, it took him a few hours to get over his hangover.

When Rachel saw the two men again, they began to complain to her.

While Jack was playing with his lighter indifferently, Michael took his time to ridicule them. "You're so awesome, Rachel. You've already turned this playboy into a good husband."

She almost choked on her juice at the man's words. At the sound, Jack immediately set aside his lighter and patted her on the back. "Drink it slowly," he instructed.

Marcus couldn't help but be surprised by the scene. Even when Jack and Celine were together, he had never seen them in such an intimate relationship. Most of the time, Celine would take it upon herself to please Jack, not the other way around.

Marcus coughed awkwardly. "By the way, how's Eric doing? He was so drunk he couldn't even stand up when we left."
