Tag was holding a steaming mug of strong tea gingerly in her hands, blowing on it every so often to help it cool. She had only been home from the hospital for a few days; she wasn't feeling her usual self yet, but she was gradually getting there. It had become routine for her to have three or four cups of tea a day. Whether or not it made her better, she didn't really care.
She took a small sip, relishing the feel of the hot drink almost burning her tongue. Then, she idly wondered where Specs was. Probably out selling, but hopefully he would be back soon.

((If this isn't the thread you were talking about I will delete it and pretend this didn't happen))
Jack crept into the kitchen through the back door of the lodging house, meaning he had snuck in through the alleyway. He grinned, pleased with himself that nobody saw him and then sighed with relief.
He froze when he saw Tag sipping her tea by the stove. He had to go past her to get upstairs to the bunkroom.
"Heya Tag," he said and scratched the back of his neck.

((No, it is!))
Tag almost dropped her mug, but luckily kept her cool. Though her heart did start to beat a mile a minute.
"H-hi, Jack." She took another sip of her tea, hoping it would hide the bright pink blush that had crept onto her cheeks.

"I been meaning to tell you actually that the girls have been stealing your dirty books...I mean not really stealing, but borrowing 'em." He smirked at her and then opened up a cabinet.
"Bastards ate all the cookies..." He muttered to himself.
((LOL))

Tag blushed even more, though she hadn't thought it was possible. Jack knew she owned, er, novels of a particularly shocking subject. That was just embarrassing. What must he think of her?!
"Th-there's brownies in the cupboard," she informed him, nodding to the cupboard directly across from her.
((BTW the thread title is a lyric from a song called "Jack." I know, I'm so clever.))

"Really?" His eyes lit up like a kid's on Christmas morning and he opened up the Brownie shielding cabinet.
"Amazing!" He proclaimed and removed the dish from the cabinet. He hopped up onto the counter and took a seat, dish in his lap, and then proceeded to bite into a brownie.
"Those novels of yours sure are interesting." He smirked.

This was the worst day of her life. One of the few times Jack - the gorgeous Jack Kelly - actually talks to her, and he talks about her illicit, romantic novels.
"Well, you wouldn't know unless you've read one, too." There were no words to explain how proud of herself she was for saying that.

"Why do you think I said that??" He smirked at her and finished off a brownie, chewed, swallowed and then smiled naughtily. He kicked his legs a bit and then grabbed another brownie from the plate. He was starving.

Tag had to look away from him, so she stared into her tea. She really couldn't believe she was standing in the kitchen having a conversation about romance novels with Jack Kelly.

"You feeling okay?" He finished off another brownie and then decided to eat just one more. He was a growing boy, he needed his nourishment.

Tag nodded after clearing her throat, then took another sip of her tea.
"H-how are you?"

"Pretty good, had a good selling day," Jack answered with a smile and then set the brownies down on the counter.

"Good. That's good," she replied softly, still unable to look him in his sparkling hazel eyes.
"Did you see Specs at all?" Yes, that was a good idea. Talk about your boyfriend, because you do have one, Tag.

"Specs? Nah, I haven't seen him after this morning at the DO. We usually don't sell in the same places anyways." Jack jumped down from the kitchen cabinet.

"Right, of course not." She took yet another sip of her tea, though she thought to herself she shouldn't drink it too quickly since then she wouldn't have anything to hide behind.
