Don't Forget I'm a Lightweight
Chapter Twelve: Thanks, Now Can I Borrow a Shirt or Something
Alex’s POV
Jack takes me up his long spiral staircase and into a large bathroom with a jacuzzi that looks like it could be a light up one when you put water in it.
“Would you like to just relax in the jacuzzi? I can run it for you with a bath bomb or bubble bath if you like.” Jack tells me, myself still in his arms from the pain that I was given.
“Please?” I say merely above a whisper.
“Of course you can, now just sit down anywhere you like and I’ll get it set up, okay?” He says, putting me down gently without me being in any pain on the fluffy grey throw rug.
He goes around to the black wardrobe towards the back of the room, opening it up and leading Jack into shelves filled to what looks like every bath bomb and shower gel in the world, some shaped like stars, snowman and a… what? A penguin? Well whatever Jack likes I guess.
“Alex, you can choose which bubble bar you want, on the top shelf.” The older man tells me and I go back to gaze at the penguin, my favorite animal next to dogs.
“C-Can I have the penguin?” I say, keeping my head low to hide my blush and shyness.
“I had a feeling you would like that one, I always keep them because my nieces and nephews love that one.” He says, grabbing the penguin bubble bar and asking me which bath melt I’d like.
“I can’t decide, I like the snowman but I like the star too.” I contemplate.
“Alex, I have a store full of them. You can have both if you like and honestly, they smell fantastic together. Now let me find shampoo and hair treatment for you while I run the jacuzzi.” Jack says, then walking over to the black wonder and turning it on, and crumbling the penguin, star and snowman into it as I watch in awe as the water bubbles and changes color with a majestic scent.
“No ones ever done this for me Jack, I don’t even think I’ve had a proper shower in a long time.” I say honestly, forgetting about the pain I had because I’m getting something I’ve never gotten before.
Care and is that love? I think so.
“Do you need help getting in?” The older man asks me and I nod, but before he takes me in it, he takes off my boxer shorts and the jacket he put around me to keep me from the cold weather.
“It’s warm.” I state the obvious as my toes touch the bubbly water when Jack puts my weakened body in.
“I’ll leave you there, so you can relax. Okay?” Jack asks, turning to walk out the door.
“Please, stay?” I plead unknowledgeably and Jack turns back around.
“Okay, do you want me to go in with you?” He questions me.
“Could you?” I wonder to him.
Jack nods and motions me to turn around and I do so while he takes off his clothing.
I don’t realize the elder gets in until I feel the water ripple and a slight push of my body going forward, my head against his trimmed chest and fingers wrapped around his.
“Is this okay with you?”
“It’s nice, nobodies ever been this kind to me. Not even Tom.” I say honestly, not caring what I say right now in front of the man.
Jack doesn’t say anything, just nuzzles his nose into my uncleaned, tangly hair as a response, letting me know that it’s okay.
A few moments later he grabs a large bottle of gooey brownish orange gel and lathers it into my hair, feeling good as it cleanses my damaged hair.
“Mmm.” I hum.
“It feels nice doesn’t it?” Jack asks me.
“Very, what is it?” I wonder.
“It’s shampoo, a very nice cleansing one. Your hair should be a bit more happy and healthier after I’m done using some treatments on it.” He tells me and I smile.
A few minutes pass and he asks me to dunk my head under the water but I freak a bit.
“Why would you make me drown!” I over react.
“Alex, you can’t drown in this, plus it’s to get the suds out. Shampoo isn’t a stay in thing. You’re acting as if you’ve never used it before.” Jack tries to calm me and I come to the realization he’s right.
I dunk my head underneath the pale colored water and the elder massages his fingers through my hair, getting all suds out so he can move onto the next part for my hair.
“Now to condition it. We want your hair to relax from all the rehab it just went through.” He says and I giggle a bit.
Towards the end he asks me to dunk my head again and then moves onto the last hair treatment which he called “The Hair Doctor” and scrubbed it until it felt right.
We later on move onto cleansing my body with a light blue sea smelling scrub and then turn to a final creamy feeling, lime and strawberry scented soap.
Eventually we finish up and Jack finds the fluffiest towel he can get and wraps it around our bodies together and puts his head on my shoulder, like it’s meant to fit there.
“You feel better now?” The raven haired man asks.
“Yeah, thank you. You could’ve just left me out in the cold but you didn’t. You found me and made me feel safe, loved, cared for. I haven’t felt that feeling in a long time. Not since...Not since he left me and my Mum and Dad Jacky! He left Mummy and Dad and I! He said he never would but he did!” I cry, trying to stop the tears but the flow down my cleansed facial features.
Jack turns me around to face him and walks us out to his master, glorious bedroom that’s hard for me to see but doesn’t matter at this moment in time because all I want is someone to cry on,
He lays us down on his king like bed, four postured with mahogany wood and I’m on his stomach.
“Shh, shh. It’s okay, don’t be scared to cry. I got you, just cry it all out. I’ll protect you.
No one has to force you to tell me the full story. You’re safe with me, I have you in my arms. No one will make you feel that pain again. I’ll keep you safe from the weight of the world. You think that you have to carry it but you don’t, you can take it off of you. You have me now, I have everything you could ever need or want and if it’s not suitable for you, then I’ll make it perfect for you. No matter what.” Jack says as he holds my cold, naked body to his closely and near his heart as I cry more.
I don’t say anything but a few words that make Jack laugh.
“Thank you, now can I have a shirt or something?”
“Of course you can. I’ll make it Alex-perfect just for you little boy.”
Jack takes me up his long spiral staircase and into a large bathroom with a jacuzzi that looks like it could be a light up one when you put water in it.
