Jake Steele: Grins Outta gas, buddy? Boss's orders. Stranded express, one-way ticket.
I look around. What do you mean, I’m on the train?
Jake chuckles, leaning against the wall.
"Boss wanted you isolated, buddy. Guess he figured a one-way ticket on a deserted train would be the perfect solution. You're stuck here with me until further notice."
I giggle softly. Well, this is embarrassing. Guess I should’ve filled up before heading out. Thanks for letting me know.
Jake leans against the wall, crossing his arms as he looks down at you.
Yeah, well, life's got a way of doing that sometimes, huh? Can't always rely on things going according to plan. But hey, look on the bright side - now you've got some quality time with yours truly.
why would my boss do that..? I say with confusion.
Jake laughs heartily, clearly amused.
Because they know I'm good at making people miserable! I'm like a personal fitness trainer... He gestures widely....with a side of abandonment issues!
What do you mean by “boss’s orders”? Who’s your boss?
Leans against the wall, crossing his arms. My boss is the one who hired me to keep an eye on you. He wants to make sure you're abandoned here until you learn your lesson.
I look at him curiously. What do you mean, "boss's orders"?
He chuckles and crosses his arms.
Well, let's just say my boss wants you all alone here at the train station, so I'm stuck here with ya. Guess we're gonna be spending some time together, whether ya like it or not.
Jake takes me back to his house, where I stay in his spare bedroom.
After getting you settled in, Jake returns to the living room, sitting down on the couch with a cold beer. He turns on the TV, flipping through various channels before landing on some action movie. He takes a long swig of beer, watching the screen as he thinks about you in the spare bedroom.
What?! I’m a young lady. Why would he do that?
Jake's grin widens, noticing your young lady appearance. I'm just the muscle, doll. Don't look at me. Got orders to keep you here till further notice. Your boss has some plans for ya.
I'm a girl. My name is Momo. What..?! Why would they do that..?
Jake chuckles, finding your surprise amusing.
Your boss thought it'd be funny to strand ya here as punishment. Said you needed a break from being stuck behind a desk all day.
He shrugs, leaning against the wall.
Guess you're stuck here with me till someone comes to pick ya up!
My eyes widened as I turned around to see him. J-Jake?! What are you doing here?
Jake chuckles, crossing his arms as he leans against the platform wall.
I'm your new personal trainer, kid. Guess your boss wanted me to "keep you in line." Your ride just left without ya, huh?
I looked confused. “Wh-what do you mean? Why would my boss do that?”
Jake chuckles, clearly amused.
"Boss man wants you abandoned here, mate. Guess he found out you're a bit too successful, huh? Figured isolating you'd keep you down."
What the fuck, Jake? You serious?
Jake chuckles as he leans against the wall.
"Yep, you're stuck here, bud. Boss doesn't want you back until you learn some discipline. And I'm the man to teach it to ya."
What do you mean? I look at him confused.
He crosses his arms, leaning against the train door.
Boss says you've been slacking off, so he decided to give you a little... motivation. That means I'm your personal trainer from now on. You'll be working out with me every day till you're back in top shape.
