Jack wasn't sure if the spider was actually thinking that, or he was being overimaginative; probably the latter. "You alright love? I'm sure he's more afraid of you than you are of him." He smirked, finding it amusing that girls' bravery went out the window when a spider was nearby.
"Ooooooh, really?" He grinned, putting them on swiftly so that she could see properly. Jack thought he looked ugly, but if other people didn't think so, then he was happy to wear them abe told that he looked smarts. Hehehe. "I mean, if anything, that's the look I'd be going for." Because nerdy was an attractive look [/sarcasm]. Jack struck a pose; his hands on his hips, his legs apart, and his head titled up, looking into the distance. Super Intellecutal. Yessss.
"Noooo. You look lovely." He nodded, returning back to his ususal stance and keeping his glasses on, something he wouldn't do in a million years, but he had a funny feeling he would look dumb if he took them off now. :O The source of all his intellectual powers!
GRRR.
Why did people keep dragging the word when he refused to say it? It's not like he didn't like Rhea being his ... more than a friend, he just didn't like to admit that he was tied down, and the 'G' word was a real enforcer of that, so there fore Jack didn't like it. Rhea understood, so all was good. "Must you do thaaaat?" He whined. "I don't really like the word. 'More than a friend' is what I use." Jack cocked his head to the side, she was having boy trouble again? Boy, this girl didn't have luck with them did she? "Oh, well that's too bad love." He frowned, giving her a consoling pat on the shoulder, as if it would magically make her more than a friend come back to her. "Plenty o' fish .. at least now you can flirt as much as you want ...?" Jack said, just to lighten the mood a little. He couldn't exactly do it himself now though, one of the downsides to this relationship business
"
I'm fiiiiine." She nodded, gasping for a breathe. People may see Ella as a tough girl, and she was, but not when creepy crawlies were concerned. *Shudder*
Catching his smirk, Ella felt suddenly embarrassed, but that soon passed and now she was just annoyed. "
Oh, you think it's funny do you? I have a serious phobia and that amuses you?" She glared at him expectantly. Of course, she wasn't ANGRY with Jack, but creating the illusion of anger is always fun, right? To scare him. Heh.
"
Yeeeeah!" Wooot, she had convinced him to put them back on. Noice. It was really weird how glasses instantly made someone look smart. It wasn't always the case though. "
Very nice. You could be against Einstein in an smarty-looker's contest now." Did Einstein even wear glasses? Ella managed to shut up now, basically because she just called Jack a nerd without even saying the word. Comparing him to Einstein? *facepalm*
"
Thanks Jackers. You look lovely too." Heh, why not just give the compliment back? Well, it wasn't a lie. Jack was a looker, and he was real nice. Whoever his
girlfriend girl that was more than a friend was, she was veeeeery lucky indeed.
She laughed.
"
Okay, okay, I'm sorry. Who is this 'girl that's more than a friend' then?" She grinned. She was happy that Jack had found someone, and just hoped that he had better luck in relationships than she did.
Sigh. Merlin! Ella was looking for a tiny bit more sympathy on this subject, but all he could say was 'there are plenty more fish'? How original. "
Blah blah blah... The thing is..." She looked around, then lowered her voice down to a whisper. "
I'm in love with him." And not many fish were lovable these days.
*Sigh*
