Natsuki x MC Sequel - Book 2

Chapter 6 - Legacy

*Jake POV*

"Whelp, I'm tired." Natsuki says, plopping down next to me, in the living room

"Told you, not exactly used to work, are you?" I ask

"Shut. Not now." She puts a finger to my lips

"You work as a cashier, you just stand there, talk, and take money." I state

"You have no idea how many times someone thought I was a child and that my parents owned the shop. Did have a fun time telling them that I'm actually an adult." She says

"I can already imagine their faces."

My phone starts ringing.

"Who's calling?" Natsuki sits up straight

"No idea, haven't checked the contact yet." I pick up my phone

I look at my phone and see that the contact isn't one in my phone. It's just a phone number.

"Hello?" I answer

"Jake? Hey man, its Shawn. New number."

"Oh! Shawn, hey man, what's up?" I ask

"I uh, got a package for you. It's in you're name, did you order something and send it here by accident?" He asks

"I haven't, my address is registered on my account." I state

"Huh. You want me to open it?"

"Not yet, let me head over there to see for myself."

"Alright, see you soon."

I hang up.

"So, what does Shawn have for us?" Natsuki asks

"A package. Did you order something and send it to Shawn's work?" I ask, knowing she uses my account for ordering stuff

"Nope. I haven't even ordered anything since the Parfait Girls figurine." She says

Oh yeah, the Parfait Girls figurine... I bought countless for her and apparently she found one she doesn't have, bought it with my card, and put me two hundred down the drain. But that was at least two months ago.

"Well, he somehow got one and its in my name. I'm heading over there to check it out, you wanna come?" I offer

"Definitely! Lets see what box number one has for us!" She jumps up

"What happened to being tired?" I ask

"That was then, this is now."

*    *    *

"Oh great, you guys are here." Shawn says

"Hey man, its been a minute." I say as we fist bump

"Let me grab the package. I see you brought your girlfriend." He goes underneath the counter to get the box

"Hey Shawn. Any new arrivals I might be interested in?" Natsuki asks

"Uh, yeah, probably in the fantasy section next to the Sailor Moon stuff." He states

"That's more of my demographic." I point out

"Right. Damn it, where did I put it? You like Slice-of-Life, right? We got some shipments of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid coming soon." He says

"Dragon Maid? Okay, I've read a few off Jake's shelf."

"Okay! Here it is!" Shawn lifts the box and sets it on the counter

He grabs a box cutter from underneath the counter also and hands it to me

"Here goes nothing..." I sigh, pushing out the blade to the box cutter
