Jackson shifted closer, his heart hammering in his chest. He could smell her light floral perfume that made his head swim. Without thinking, he leaned in, his lips brushing against hers in a tentative kiss. She didn't pull away. Instead, she responded, her lips soft and inviting.
The kiss deepened, becoming more urgent. Jackson's hand found its way to the back of her neck, pulling her closer. Their breaths mingled, and he could feel the heat radiating from her body. It was intoxicating, overwhelming. He wanted more. As their lips moved together, Jackson's mind raced. He needed to complete the task, but how could he ask such a personal question without ruining the moment? He decided to go for it, hoping his newfound confidence would carry him through. He murmured between kisses, "You know, Olivia... there's something... something I need to know." She pulled back slightly, her eyes searching his. "What is it, Jackson?" "It's just... I get more... in the mood when I think about... you know, what you're wearing underneath." "Oh, do you now?" "Yeah," he admitted, feeling a blush creep up his neck. "It's kind of... a thing for me." She laughed softly. "Alright, Mr. Jackson. What exactly do you want to know?" "What type... and color... and size... of your underwear?" Olivia's eyes widened, and for a moment, Jackson feared he'd gone too far. But then she laughed, a light, musical sound that made his heart soar. "You're something else, you know that?" she teased, her fingers tracing his jaw line. "Alright, since you asked so nicely... I'm wearing a black lace bra, size 34C, and matching panties. Happy now?" Jackson's mind reeled. He hadn't expected her to actually answer. "Very happy," he managed to say, his voice hoarse with desire. Their lips met again, more hungrily this time. Jackson's hands roamed her back, feeling the delicate fabric of her blouse. He could feel the outline of her bra, and it drove him wild. He wanted to explore every inch of her, to know every secret she kept hidden beneath her clothes. As they kissed, he marveled at how surreal this moment felt. Here he was, in a hospital room, making out with a gorgeous nurse who had just divulged intimate details about her underwear. Life had certainly taken a strange turn. Olivia pulled back, her breath coming in short gasps. "Jackson, we really shouldn't..." "Just a little longer," he pleaded, his lips brushing against her neck. "Please." She hesitated, then nodded, surrendering to the moment. Their kisses grew more passionate, more desperate. Jackson's mind was a whirlwind of sensations, each touch and kiss sending shivers down his spine. He couldn't believe how lucky he was, how incredible this moment felt. Eventually, Olivia pulled away, her cheeks flushed and her breathing ragged. "I really need to get back to work." He nodded, trying to catch his breath. "Alright," he managed, his voice husky. "I'll call you. We can meet outside of this... medical paradise." Olivia's lips curved into a mischievous smile. She leaned in, pressing one last lingering kiss to his lips. "I'll look forward to it," she murmured against his mouth before pulling away. Jackson watched her go, his body still thrumming with desire. The door shut behind her, leaving him alone with the beeping machines and his racing thoughts. "Well, well, well," Quantum Quill's voice echoed in his head, startling him. "Look who got creative with my task." Jackson jumped, nearly falling off the bed. "Jesus! Don't sneak up on me like that!" "Sneak up? I'm in your head, genius. I'm always here." "Right," Jackson muttered, running a hand through his hair. "So, uh, about that task..." "Oh, you mean the one where you were supposed to ask about her underwear, not engage in a full-blown makeout session?" "I got the information, didn't I? Size, color, type - all accounted for." "True," QQ conceded. "And I must say, your improvisation skills are... impressive. Didn't think you had it in you." "Thanks... I think?" "Consider yourself rewarded. Check your account." Jackson fumbled for his phone, his fingers shaking slightly as he pulled up his banking app. His eyes widened as he saw the balance. "Holy... is that... a hundred thousand dollars?" "Ding ding ding! We have a winner!" Jackson fell back onto the bed, staring at the ceiling in disbelief. "I just made out with a hot nurse and got paid a hundred grand for it. Is this real life?" "Oh, it's real alright. And it's just the beginning, darling." Jackson sat up, his brow furrowing. "What do you mean, 'just the beginning'?" But Quantum Quill remained silent, leaving Jackson alone with his thoughts, the lingering taste of Olivia's lips, and a bank account that was suddenly much, much healthier.Jackson stepped out of the hospital, blinking in the bright sunlight. The automatic doors whooshed shut behind him, cutting off the antiseptic smell that had become all too familiar. He took a deep breath, savoring the scent of car exhaust and hot asphalt. Ah, freedom.His hand instinctively went to his pocket, feeling for his phone. He pulled it out, squinting at the screen to recheck his bank balance. Yep, it was still there. $89,000 and change. He let out a low whistle."From zero to hero in one day," he muttered. "Take that, universe."A passing jogger gave him an odd look. Jackson realized he was standing in the middle of the sidewalk, grinning like an idiot at his phone. He cleared his throat and tried to look nonchalant as if staring at one's bank account with a dopey smile, which was normal outside a hospital.He started walking with no particular destination in mind. His feet carried him down the street while his mind raced with possibilities. What does one do with a sudden i
"Eight years?" Jackson echoed, his mind reeling. "But that's impossible. I just left here yesterday. Well, before the bus... and the hospital..." He trailed off, realizing how insane he must sound.The woman's expression softened slightly, moving from suspicion to concern. "Are you feeling alright, dear? Perhaps you need to sit down. Or call someone?"Jackson shook his head, trying to clear the fog of confusion. "No, no, I'm fine. I'm sorry, I must have the wrong apartment. My mistake."The old woman eyed him suspiciously for a moment longer, then shrugged. "Alright, dear. Do take care." With that, she shuffled back inside and closed the door, leaving Jackson's mouth agape in the hallway.He blinked rapidly as if expecting the familiar surroundings of his apartment to materialize before him. No such luck. The faded wallpaper and musty carpet remained stubbornly unfamiliar."What in the ever-loving hell is going on?" Jackson muttered, running a hand through his hair."My, my, such lang
Jackson stepped out of the apartment building, squinting against the harsh sunlight. The world around him seemed both familiar and alien at the same time. Hover cars? No. Flying pigs? Nope. Just regular old 2033 traffic and pollution. How disappointing. "Well, this is just peachy," he muttered, shoving his hands in his pockets. "Now what?" As if on cue, Quantum Quill's voice piped up in his head. "Now, my dear Jackson, you need to go to a hotel room." "A hotel room? Seriously? I just left a hospital, and now you want me to check into a hotel? What am I, a walking advertisement for overpriced accommodations?" "Less sass, more action, darling. Chop chop!" "Alright, alright. I'm going. But if this turns out to be some weird timeshare presentation, I'm blaming you." He spotted an ATM nearby and made his way over. "I always dreamed of taking out this much money without breaking into a cold sweat. Shame it had to happen in a parallel universe." Just as he pocketed the cash, a cab scr
The elevator descended with a gentle hum, carrying Natalia and Evelyn down from Evelyn's luxurious suite. Natalia's brow furrowed as she glanced at her friend. "Seriously, Ev, why do you always insist on these fancy-schmancy hotels? They're gonna suck your bank account dry faster than a vacuum on steroids." "Oh, please. Daddy dearest foots the bill. He'd have a conniption if his precious princess stayed under five-star." "Whatever," Natalia scoffed, crossing her arms. "You won't catch me burning cash on overpriced mini-bars and fluffy robes. I'd rather spend my hard-earned dough on something useful... like shoes." "Says the girl with more zeroes in her bank account than I have shoes," Evelyn retorted. "Come on, live a little! What's the point of having money if you don't splash it around?" Natalia opened her mouth to fire back, but the words died on her tongue as the elevator doors slid open. Her eyes locked onto a man standing next to a room attendant, and suddenly, the world se
The elevator dinged, and Carlos led the way down a plush hallway. "Here we are, Mr. Jackson. Your home away from home!" He swung open the door with a flourish, revealing a suite that made Jackson's jaw drop. It was bigger than his entire apartment, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a panoramic view of the city. A massive bed dominated one side of the room, looking more like a small island than a piece of furniture. "Holy sh-" Jackson caught himself, remembering Carlos's presence. "I mean, wow. This is... something else." Carlos beamed, clearly proud of the reaction he'd elicited. "Isn't it just? The living area is through here, and the bathroom... well, let's just say it's more of a bathing experience than a mere bathroom." Jackson followed Carlos through the suite, his eyes widening with each new revelation. The living area boasted a couch that could comfortably seat a small army and a TV resembling a private cinema screen. "And here," Carlos announced, throwing open anothe
Time seemed to crawl by at a snail's pace. Jackson paced the room, practiced his "seductive" face in the mirror (which mostly looked like he was constipated), and even considered raiding the mini-bar for liquid courage. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the doorbell rang. Jackson's heart leaped into his throat. He smoothed down his hair, took a deep breath, and opened the door. Standing before him was a vision in a crisp hotel uniform. Her honey-blonde hair was pulled back into a neat bun, a few rebellious strands framing a face that could launch a thousand ships - or at least a thousand terrible pickup lines. "Your order, sir," she said, her voice melodious and professional. Jackson blinked, his brain frantically trying to remember how words worked. "I... uh... sandwich?" he managed to croak out. "Yes, sir. One club sandwich, as requested." She held out the tray, and Jackson's hands moved on autopilot to take it. Their fingers brushed for
He slid his hands up her back, finding the clasp of her bra and undoing it with a practiced flick. The bra fell away, revealing her breasts, nipples already hard. "Someone's been practicing," she teased, arching her back to press against him. "Only on my teddy bear," he quipped, earning a laugh from her that turned into a moan as he took one of her nipples into his mouth. He sucked and nibbled, relishing the way she squirmed and sighed above him. Her fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him closer. She pushed him back. "Your turn," she whispered, yanking his t-shirt over his head. Her hands roamed his chest, nails scratching lightly, sending shivers down his spine. He reached for her, but she batted his hands away. "Patience, Jackson." "Fuck patience," he growled, flipping them over so she was beneath him. He kissed her neck, biting gently, making her gasp. His hands found the waistband of her skirt, yanking it down her legs. She kicked it off, leaving her in jus
He laughed nervously, scrambling for an explanation. "Oh, that? It's... uh... a funny story, actually." She crossed her arms, waiting expectantly. "I'm all ears." Jackson ran a hand through his hair, buying time. "Well, I'm not usually this... technologically challenged. My regular phone had an unfortunate encounter with a cup of coffee this morning. Total goner. So, I had to dig out this relic from the depths of my junk drawer." Sophia raised an eyebrow, clearly not entirely convinced. "As for the clothes," he continued, gesturing to his attire, "I'm a firm believer in the 'comfort over style' philosophy. Have you seen the price tags on some of those designer outfits? Highway robbery, if you ask me." She studied him briefly, and then a small smile crept across her face. "Alright, Mr. Practical. I'll buy it... for now. But you better get yourself a new phone soon. This thing belongs in a museum." "Trust me, it's at the top of my to-do list," Jackson ass
