Ero Meter



"Where are we going?" Cassie asked with a sweet smile on her face.

Jack looked at her face, he wanted to find a training gym.

"Let's go." He said and started the car again, his Tesla moved through the road, and soon enough he stopped the car in front of a Jujitsu training center.

Cassie looked at the big establishment and raised her brows.

"Why are we here?" She asked with a tone of surprise.

She never knew that Jack was interested in learning how to fight.

"Let's get a membership," Jack said, parked the car, and got out of it.

Cassie also moved out of the car and stood beside him.

"Why do you wanna learn to fight? Who are you gonna beat up?" She asked with a smile on her face.

"Well, someone needs to protect you."

"Protect from what? My imaginary demons?" She chuckled.

"For me." Jack grabbed her waist and moved her close to him.

"You should learn how to fight too." He said.

"No, I am not interested, I will watch you instead." She looked at him with a blush on her face as she felt his grip around her waist.

In front of them stood a black one-story building, it was large and many cars were parked outside.

"Let's go." Jack said and holding her hand moved inside the building.

As they entered the place a huge all came in front of them with matting laying all over, inside they could see many guys and girls practicing basic Jujitsu.

A bald instructor came and looked at them from up to down. He then started providing them with a basic fee structure and a training program.

The instructor was a jolly guy, opposite to his persona and Jack liked him.

Soon enough Jack registered for the classes and got back to his car.

"Let's get our bags and go to college," he said, he didn't wanna let Cassie miss classes.

Cassie nodded and then both of them moved toward their apartments. After leaving Cassie at her apartment he reached in front of his apartment he saw a girl standing there.

She was wearing a crop top and her under eyes deep black with mascara and she was chewing gum.

She was standing outside the apartment. Knocking on the door.

Jack looked at her and narrowed his eyes.

She was none other than Mandy.

"Hey." Jack came in front of her and looked her in the eyes.

Mandy who has just arrived here turned her head and looked at the incoming figure.

A sneaky smile formed on her face.

"Empty this apartment." She said without any pleasantries, there was a sneer on her face.

As she said this the door to the apartment opened and Nicole moved out, she looked at both of them and raised her brows.

"What are you doing here?" She asked looking at Mandy.

Just yesterday both of them fought and even went to the police station, and now she was here in front of Jack's apartment.

'Is she here to cause trouble?' A frown appeared on Nicole's face.

Mandy looked at Nicole who has come out of the apartment and snorted.

"Get out of this apartment, it's mine now." She said and looked at Nicole with sharp eyes.

"What do you mean it's yours?" Jack asked raising his brows.

Mandy smiled at his words and took out a paper from her back pocket.

"I researched you a bit yesterday. And found out that you live in this apartment. And turns out my friend's father owns this building." She opened the folded paper.

"And I was surprised to see that your contract expired yesterday. What a great luck." She said again, this time with a chuckle.

Jack furrowed his brows and took the paper from her hand he could see that his rent contract has expired.

'They didn't even give me a warning.' He thought and sighed.

He looked at Mandy with a sharp gaze.

This girl was deliberately causing trouble for him.

'Should I call Elma?' He thought and then his eyes landed on Nicole, he could see a worried expression on her face.

She came near him with an apologetic expression.

"Did it expire?" She asked and looked at the papers.

She felt guilty that Jack was facing such troubles because of her.

"Don't worry," Jack said and then looked at Mandy again.

"We will need ten days to empty this apartment." He said.

"No, I want it right now!" She looked at him with a sneer.

Jack chuckled and threw the paper onto her face, "Go read the contract again. It says ten days of warning notice must be given. And I got no wearing before."

Nicole also looked at Mandy with anger.

How can she come here when they haven't even given Jack a warning?

'I will teach this bitch a lesson!' Nicole thought and then grabbed Jack's hand.

Mandy caught the papers and read them again with her eyes wide, realization dawned on her when she read it.

Raising her nose she snorted.

"Ok, you have ten days." She has come here to give trouble to the guy and the girl and she has already succeeded in it.

Flapping the paper in her pocket she gazed at Jack and Nicole one last time and moved out of the corridor.

After she was gone, Nicole looked at Jack and signed.

"Don't worry, I will find a good house in ten days." She said.

Jack smiled and nodded at her. After that, he moved inside the apartment and picked up his bag.

"I am going to college. Take care." He said and moved out of his apartment.

Nicole moved behind him and gave him a goodbye kiss.

After that, Jack moved towards Cassie's apartment, while on the way he was thinking about today's event.

'I have to teach her a lesson or she would cause more trouble in the future.' He thought and sighed.

"Let's go." Cassie was standing outside her apartment without any clue as to what just happened.

And Jack didn't tell her, because he knew that she would worry unnecessarily.

Soon enough they reached the college, while Cassie moved toward her class, Jack the other hand looked at Elma and she called him to the Committee room by message.

Jack and Elma sat in the committee room, she looked at him with an apologetic expression on her face.

Jack looked at her head and could see eighty on the Ero meter and two of her hearts filled.

"I am sorry." She said suddenly after a moment of silence.

Jack looked at her and remembered the moment from the apartment and nodded. He was annoyed by her sister.

Nicole then pulled out a cheque from her purse.

"It's not much, but I hope it can help." She slid the cheque towards Jack.

Jack looked at the amount and could see five thousand dollars written on it. Although the money was nothing for Jack, he was satisfied with it.

He took the cheque and stood up deciding to leave without saying anything.

When Elma saw him moving without saying anything her heart increased its pace and she also stood up in a hurry.

"Wait."

She thought that she has done something wrong and had angered him.

Jack listened to her voice and turned around he saw her standing straight and an expression of worry on her face.

"Are you still angry?" She asked moving out of the table and standing in front of him.

Jack looked into her eye and could tell that she was genuinely worried for him.

"It's nothing." He didn't want to trouble her for her sister's fault, he will teach Mandy a lesson on his own.

He knew that if he told her about Mandy then she would definitely reprimand her, however, this would only cause her to be more troublesome in the future.

He has to handle her in such a way that she would not even think about causing trouble for himself and Nicole.

Although he could still maintain if it was only him, however, he knew that she would also trouble Nicole in one or another way.

"No, I know you are hiding something, you can tell me. If you want more money I can give it to you." 

Somehow she was worried about him, after the previous night she has concluded that Jack was not as bad as she thought.

He even helped her sister.

Previously she thought that he was gonna use her secret against her to do some bad stuff however he hasn't forced her single time.

Jack saw her complicated expression and then his eye subconsciously glanced at the Ero Meter again.

And a surprised expression appeared on his face.

He could see the meter rising, it was already at ninety points, and by the time he blinked his eyes, it stopped at ninety-five points.

'So ignoring her increased the Ero Points.' He concluded.

As he was about to say something a panel flashed in front of him.

[1. Tell her about the morning events. (+1 Heart, +5 Ero points.)

2. Ignore her again. (-20 Ero Points.)]
