Sneaky Jack Winning Her Back chapter 6 by Hero_For_Hire

“You sure? Tiny Jack going once, going twice…” Lydia held the box up to Zoe as a tongue-in-cheek final offer.

Zoe smirked and shook her head. “Take care of him, Lydia. He seems like he could do with a friend.” She closed the door. Once again, she sighed. What a crazy start to the day… she needed a lie down. She walked down the hall and into the living room, where she let herself fall onto the couch, it’s cushions accepting her gracefully.

In the hall, Jack watched his ex girlfriend walk by him, oblivious to his presence.

It was simplicity itself; Lydia had set the box down on the floor for only a brief moment to put her shoes back on, and Jack leaped on the opportunity to push open the lid and climb out. After pushing the lid back in place, it was as simple as staying hidden amongst all the other shoes - presumably belonging to a mixture of Zoe, her sister and her mom - and waiting for Lydia to leave. 

Now, he was alone with Zoe. At last… 

He didn’t need to be Zoe’s boyfriend. He just needed to be with her. Even if it meant living as a bug in her home, even if it means never having a normal life… he would be totally devoted to her, she will be the first thing he sees when he wakes, and the last thing he sees before he sleeps. She will become his purpose. She will become his goddess.
