Jack's smile was genuine. As genuine as a girlfriend telling her boyfriend that her best friend is gay.
But damn, Jack really thought of me as his friend. He stayed lonely for so long that the first person who talked even one sentence to him became a lifelong pal for him. It's like kids trusting strangers and getting kidnapped just because they gave them candy. That's why I always buy as many candies as possible… to make sure kidnappers can't buy them to lure kids. Yeah.
In the end, I could only return Jack's smile and agree to take his help.
"Alright." I shake my head, getting in the zone now. "I am moving forward. It's all on you, Jack. You will make me move my legs. You are in control of my body now. I trust you."
"Don't worry, pal. I won't break your trust. You gave me the control of your body and no matter how much I want to misuse this power to make you do things… slurp. But I won't do it. This is strictly professional work."
"Did you just… slurp?"
"Yes."
