Me And The Mysterious Man's
Chapter 55 - Lighting the Fireplace

Jack followed Ben from behind. He directly slammed the door, then calmed his gasping breath. His two hands were immediately put together, and rubbed some of them. The same thing Ben did, he looks first to take firewood. Ben used the trash bags available as containers.

"We need to hurry!" Jack said while helping Ben put firewood into the container.

"I know!" suhut Ben with a frown that shriveled deep.

No time for three minutes, Jack and Ben have managed to make a bag full of firewood. Then they rushed back to Becca's house.

This time Ben walked first, while dragging a large bag of firewood. To be honest he was very difficult, but Ben willingly forced himself just for the sake of a Becca. At least his efforts were able to make the girl cluck in awe at him.

Jack tried to catch up with Ben. Then help him carry a bag of firewood. Everything he did, in order to shorten the time.

In the middle of the snow, Jack and trying his hardest. Because they work together, the two are able to return home in good condition. At least that's how it looks when they've entered the house.

Becca immediately welcomes Jack and Ben with a thick blanket. The girl advised to rest and warm up. While he will be in charge of lighting the fireplace.

"I'm going to the toilet!" said Ben as he hurried to leave.

"What's this about? why do you guys look so messy?!"

"Jack! you all right?"

Jonas and Anna just showed up. Both of them did not know about the difficulties that had just occurred.

"One morning you came. Hurry up, help me start the fire!" Becca looked at Jonas. Then lead the sister to the fireplace. "Oh Anna, you better make something warm!" becca said again. His tone was rather high, as he kept moving his legs to walk.

"Hurry there! I'm so cold, and need a warm drink as soon as possible!" tell Jack to sit on the sofa. Then covered his whole body with a blanket. His eyeballs are now directed at Becca who is still busy lighting fires with Jonas.

Anna has finished making a warm drink. He chose tea as an ingredient to brew.

Same with Becca. He and Jonas also managed to light the fireplace. Then sit together on the sofa. Watching television shows that are playing teen-themed films.

By chance Becca is sitting next to Jack. The movies on television seemed to interest him. The look on his face shows that he really enjoys the story in the film. The girl did not even realize that Jack was glancing at her.

"It turns out you like movies like that" chirped Jack, who made Becca turn her head.

"Why indeed? you want to note that this is part of my favorite movie?" reply Becca, raising both her eyebrows and slightly advancing her lower lip. Trying to quip Jack's feelings towards her. Because Becca believes that the man has special feelings for her. More than just a neighbor relationship.

Jack smiled only thinly. She had already opened her mouth as she was about to answer Becca's response. But Jonas suddenly stood up and made an unexpected commotion.

"Oh my god, I almost forgot. Anna!" Jonas suddenly patted his own eel. Then ran to his room. Anna was seen following from behind. The two teenagers seemed to be taking care of something important. Jack and Becca ignore him. They may have been lazy to get off the couch.

"You're not going home?" Becca asked without looking at her interlocutor. He looked at Zac Efron who was acting on television.

Becca slowly looked over, and returned Jack's gaze. "You know Jack?" he shifted his position a little closer to Jack. "Your eyes can't lie." Becca chuckles, revealing a row of neat front teeth. After that, the girl refocused on looking at the television. The friendship scene in the film, makes Becca suddenly think of Tara and Ben. His mind floated back to his memories. Until he finally realized that Ben had not seen the trunk of his nose. Becca leaves to find Ben.

"Where are you going?" ask Jack to wonder.

"Finding Ben, he hasn't been out of the toilet since, has he?"

"Maybe he feels warmer there." Jack said original. At least it shows that he is thinking positively.

Becca just shook her head, then rushed to check on Ben. He immediately banged on the toilet door where his best friend was.

"Ben? are you all right?" Becca stuck her ear to the door. Trying to listen to something from within.

"Yes, wait a minute." said Ben in a slow tone.

Chequek!

Ben opened the door. The appearance of her face made Becca's eyes wide open. How not? Ben looked very pale, his body shivering and moving very stiff. Signs that the man is experiencing hypothermia.

"Ben! if you're cold, don't stay alone in the bathroom!" growled Becca, giving up her blanket to give to Ben. His forehead is seen carving lines that indicate that he is anxious.

Becca immediately takes Ben to the fireplace. He also did not forget to bring new clothes, so that the warmth in Ben's body can spread again by itself.

Ben now sits in front of the fireplace. He looks back for a moment, to see Becca who also gives new clothes to Jack. The man can see the gaze Becca and Jack give off. The large brownish pupils of the two show mutual affection.

"Becca, can you get me some warm water?" Ben deliberately voiced, so that Becca immediately went away from Jack. He is not the kind of guy who gives up easily.

Jack smiled again. He actually felt admiration for Ben's persistence that seemed excessive. Jack got up from the couch and walked over to Ben. Then position yourself sitting next to Ben.

"I should have been sitting here earlier." said Jack, pointing his palms at the fireplace. "You look bad, Ben" Jack commented, focusing on Ben's pale complexion.

Ben sighed, then groped his head to make sure Becca hadn't returned. Feeling safe, he immediately said, "Jack, I want to ask seriously!"

"For once, I also want to speak seriously to you." Jack replied calmly.

Not yet had time to talk to each other, Becca suddenly came carrying two mugs filled with hot chocolate. He handed one of them over to Ben.

The confident Jack will get a hot chocolate, extending both hands towards Becca.

"Your voice is at the dinner table. My hands are only two, so I can only carry as much as I can. You're not sick anyway, Jack!" obviously Becca, then sip the hot chocolate quietly. The moment certainly raises a smile on Ben's face.
