Zoe tells Jack "This is for the best, Jack.  Now my mom can't get her hands on you and I trust that Roxy would never do anything sexual with you." as she hands him over to Roxy.

 

Roxy unzips her bag and stuffs Jack inside next to a hair brush.  "You got that right, shorty.  You're not my type." she says as she zip up her bag leaving him trapped in darkness.   Jack tries to get comfortable as the girls finish lunch and then go window shopping. 

 

It is late in the afternoon when Roxy arrives home lets him out of her bag placing him on her kitchen table.  She looks down at him and says "You can stay here as long as you need to but you need to stay out of my business.  If I have company over, you need to make yourself disappear.  Also, you stay out of my bedroom unless I tell you to come in there.  Got it?"

 

You salute her trying to lighten the air a bit and say "Yes ma'am.   Thanks for letting me stay here.  I appreciate it and know you didn't have to volunteer to do this."     

 

Roxy continues "OK, I'm only giving you  a place to stay and food.  Otherwise you are on your own and try not to get stepped on.  I don't always look where I'm going."  Roy puts Jack on the floor "I'm going to watch TV.  You can have a look around."

 

Roxy sits on the sofa and turns on the TV while Jack looks around.  The main room is the living space and the kitchen separated by a half wall.  There are three doors which Jack figures is the bedroom, the bathroom and the exit to the hallway.  He walks over to the two doors and confirms his suspicions.  He knows not to go in her bedroom but he looks in the bathroom.  Looking around, he thinks this girls isn't that interested in cleaning up around here.

 

Jack's looking at the bathroom when Roxy comes up behind him and says "That's another rule.  If I'm using the bathroom, you stay out. She points at the toilet that towers over you and says "I guess that's a bit too big for you to use." and she sets a shallow plastic dish with a rim next to the wall by the toilet.  "You can use that to do your business.  I'm guessing it won't be that much and I can dump it into the toilet everyday."

 

"OK, Thanks" Jack tells her thinking this is going pretty good so far.

 

Roxy says "One more thing.  I was thinking, that I'm sharing my apartment with you and feeding you and emptying your crap, you should probably pay me some rent each week you're here.  I don't suppose you have any money."

 

Jack says "I don't have any pants much less a tiny wallet.  I have an ATM card back at me apartment."  

 

Roxy says "That's too much of a pain and I don't want to be accused of stealing from your account.  Tell you what, you can do chores for me and that can count towards rent and food." 

 

"OK", Jack tells her "but I don't know what I can do at this size.  It kind of limiting."

 

Roxy says "I can think of lots of things you can do for me.  You can start tomorrow with cleaning this bathroom floor.  I'll set you up so you can clean while I'm at work.  Come to think of it, I have a lot of things you can clean for me.  OK, now get out because I have to go."

 

Jack trots out not wanting to make her wait too long for him to get out.  As he leaves she pushes door shut as Jack barely makes it out the door.  He made his way back to the TV and seat down on the floor by a chair leg.  When Roxy returns to the sofa, Jack looks up at her and says "Where can I sleep tonight.?"

 

Roxy looks across the floor and in front of the couch is a pair of old beat up Converse sneakers.  She picks one up and sets it down next to Jack.  The other one has a hole so I don't wear them anymore.  You can use the good one.  Go ahead and give it a try."

 

Jack looks into the sneaker and it is very worn down.  Not wanting to piss her off the first day, he climbs and and sits down inside her sneaker.  Roxy picks up the sneaker and tilts it forward causing him to tumble down to the toe section where the smell is overwhelming and tries to climb out but she just sets the sneaker back down under the end table next to the sofa. 

 

Roxy turns off the TV and goes into the kitchen to heat up some leftovers and Jack climbs out of the sneaker and follows her into the kitchen.
