Nice Things Part 2 ♥️
Link to Part 1
The package arrived at the next morning around lunch time. You brought it into the house and set it on the kitchen counter. You already know what’s in the box. You’ve looked at your recent order from Amazon multiple times since Jack said he bought some things from you, but seeing it on your phone and seeing it in person are very different things.
“Just open it.” You say for the third time as you stare at the package. You reach for the scissors in the drawer and open the box. Inside there are a couple of dresses, some random items that had been in your cart for a while, and underneath all that a few sets of lingerie.
“Oh my god.” You pick up a pair of lacy underwear and a bra that matches. It is something that you would buy if you had the money and the reason to wear it. Everything that Jack bought is beautiful and most definitely way out of your budget. You probably should tell him that you appreciate all the items but it’s too much. Also, how are you supposed to work with him tonight when he bought you underwear?
You put everything back in the box and toss it on your bed before heading into work. Thankfully, the shift is nonstop madness and you just get glimpses of Jack. With the last hour left of your shift, you’re thinking you dodged a bullet on dealing with the package situation.
“You’ve been avoiding me.” You look up from a chart and see Jack leaning on the counter looking at you.
“Dr. Abbot. Hi.” You tuck a piece of hair behind your ear. “I haven’t been avoiding you. It’s just been a hectic shift.”
Jack lowers his voice and leans a little closer. “If I’m buying you date clothes, you get to call me Jack. But if it makes you uncomfortable, you can save Jack for our date.”
You’re pretty sure you look like a gold fish, because you know you keep opening and shutting your mouth trying to say something. “You absolutely cannot say things like that at work and expect me to come up with a good response.”
“I’m pretty sure that blush is all the answer I need.” He leans closer now. “Tell me. Did you blush when you opened the package this morning?”
You actually felt like your heart skipped a beat. Who’s that bold at work?!
Jack looks at you for a beat. He takes his thumb and index finger and places them on your chin, guiding your head so that you’re looking at him. “I’m done teasing you, sweetheart.”
When you finally have the capacity for words you say, “Thank you for the package. Everything was beautiful. It was unnecessary.”
Jack gives you a smirk as he releases your chin. “It was absolutely necessary. I told you that you deserve nice things. Plus, looking at both our schedules, you need some options for Thursday since we’re both off that day.”
“This Thursday?”
“Yes. So you might want to try on those items I got you to make sure they fit. If they don’t, it gives me time to buy you something else.”
Jack’s name gets called out as someone needs his help in an exam room. Before he heads that way, he looks at you again. “You can always send me pictures of the ones that work out if you need help picking.”
