My New Life (Short Story), Matthew Aakay [best books to read fiction txt] 📗

Knock, knock, knock. 'Jack? Jack, come on. Get up already, we got work to go to.' A.K is the one knocking on the door, brushing his teeth while still in his underwear.

A.K knows something about Jack that the other two roommates don't know.

Jack is the kind of person that hides behind a beanie, not just the same beanie but with every kind of beanie there is. Jack has a Woven, Knit, Short, Long, Superior cotton knit caps, Heavy grained, Ribbed, Waffle short, Angora stretch, Twister, Solid, Women's knit wrap and A.k's personal favorite, The propeller beanie. Saddly, Jack dosn't wear it.

'Jack! God dammit! One hour left befo-'

Jack opens the door, 'I'm up!! Shit!' then slammed it on his face.

'...My nose.'

Jack is also a small person while the others are average hight. Jack is about 5.1 Ft (155 cm)

A.k is 6.1 Ft. Can you picture them standing next to each other?

A.K and Jack work together of course so they leave in the same vehecle. Their roommates car.

'Are you asses stealing my car again when I need it too?' Tai is about the same type of guy A.k is, only he has transport.

'Aw, come on, man. You have a bike. Use it.' A.K said nodding.

'It's snowing.' Tai said.

'You'll be fine.' Jack said.

Tai is 6 Ft tall and is more of an idiot than the other four. He's also the smartist, only he perfer to be dumb to connect more with everyone. Also he enjoys it.

Kim walks out of her room into the nice heated lounge where everyone is putting on their shoes.

'Morning, Kim. I thought you had a day off.' Jack said with a smile.

'I do.' She yawns, 'i was gonna spend it sleeping in but you guys were being so "quiet".'

Kim is 5.6 Ft and the youngist.

Oh. I didn't mention their age.

A.k - 24

Tai - 22

Jack - 23

Kim - 20

These four live together because A.K asked them to. Simple as that. Even after 8 month living together A.K is the only one who knows Jack, He knew what Jack is.

After a hard day and night at work Jack and A.K return home.

'Look like we're the only ones home.' A.K said then looks at Jack with curiosity and ask 'Is your hair color really blonde?'

Jack was dreaming with eyes wide open, not hearing what A.K said.

'... Maybe it's time to tell the other two who you are?'

'No! I-I'm not... ready.' Jack almost collapse but he caught Jack in his Arms.

'Jack?! Jack?' Jack just fell asleep. 'I'll take you to bed.' He smiled.

A.K carried Jack and takes off Jacks beanie, and Jack can hear the sound of a beating heart and wondered what was happening.

Where am I?

Did I pass out again?

My heart is beating pretty loud. Wait... That's not my heart.

'You have beautiful hair, Jack.' A.K looks at the long golden hair as he places Jack down on her bed.

'You should tell them you're a girl, especially Kim.'

Jack blushes as she opens her eyes, almost turning red, but Jack look into A.Ks eyes and didn't want to look away. A.K looks back and uncontrollably slowly lean forward over her. Face to face. His heart is beating so fast. Jack closed her eyes and felt like she knew what was happening. She pictured in her mind Sleeping beauty with the prince leaning over to kiss her. A.K leaned forward for that kiss. Jack could hear him breathe heavily.

Jack waited, and waited, and waited. A.K never felt so much pressure, so nervous to kiss a girl in his life, then he panics. He pulls away and sits on the floor beside Jacks bed.

Jack opens her eyes and spots A.K sitting there, looking dissapointed. He is. Not being abled to kiss someone he realized he cares more about than before. A.K hesitated. Jack didn't hesitate to place her hands beside his cheeks and pulls him in for that kiss.
