Exploring the Islands (Jake)

Guest

Sierra was glad that she seemed to do well there. "Thanks," she said with a small smile. Well, she hoped other holes will go same easily but she knew they will get only harder so it will probably take more tries to do away the next one. She looked at the one Jake motioned now when she scored himself there now too. She had no idea how well she will do there now.

She walked over the next hole and she looked at it. She could tell it was a lot harder than first one she did just finish. She heard even Jake ask if she wants to go first this time then she thought about it a little bit while looking at the hole there now.

"Sure I can go first," she said there with a small smile on her face. She didn't really mind it. She will show her skills how to fail in this game again in a few minutes. She put the ball down in the right spot now and looked at the hole area once again. She holds putter again as Jake explained before.

She took a deep breath there and did soon hit the ball with the putter but it didn't really go as planned. It didn't go through that hole but went instead towards the barrier what it was. Missed hole by a few centimeters only. So ball came down from the mountain. "Oh well," she mumbled there to herself.

Jake watched Sierra's attempt at the hole, not surprised that she hit the barrier on her attempt. Deciding to move to help, Jake laid his putter down and moved behind Sierra, gently wrapping his arms around the witch -- it was slow, allowing the witch to move if she didn't like his move -- and held the putter with her.

If she didn't move, his larger hands would rest atop hers, guiding the middle of the putter to the middle of the ball. "Just turn a little to the right..." Jake told the witch softly, guiding her to where he believed she would need to aim the ball to get it to go through barrier and in to the area behind.

They were, in this moment, very close. Jake hadn't done it for anything less than the personal gain of testing the waters. Still, the American would not move further unless Sierra showed some sign of being okay with this, though.

Sierra knew she had missed the hole middle and she was a bit of sad about it but she decided not to show it out. You can always a success on things with every first try. She knows it already since she was a kid.

She was surprised when Jake moved a behind her suddenly. She didn't really expect this but then again she didn't really mind it even if it felt so weird to be close to opposite gender. She was then again surprised when Jake places his large hands on hers. So this is when she did finally really understood what Jake tried to do.

He tried to help her there now. So Jake said to aim bit more the right and even did show which way she should hit it there now. "Oh okay. I hope it should work then," she said there now with a small smile. She really felt a bit of awkward in this position but then again it was probably because she has never been close to opposite gender before.

Seeing as the witch didn't pull away, Jake stayed where he was, taking in the softness of her perfume from their close proximity and trying not to smile too much to himself in that moment because his plan had, seemingly, worked in that moment.

When the witch said this should hopefully work, Jake let out a soft laugh. "Hopefully," He told Sierra softly, giving her a moment more -- though really it was for his own sake. "So, if we just gently pull the putter back." Jake continued explaining, still very soft in the way he was speaking in her ear as his hands moved with hers.

"And then, come through firm but accurately!" He added, bringing the putter back across the ground to hit the ball. Which travelled up the hill, through the hole and down the other side. Letting Sierra go, Jake motioned to the other side. "Quick, go check if it went in!" He encouraged, hoping it had so that the whole moment would have a good outcome, and (hopefully) make Sierra okay with the whole thing.

There was no reason to push him away it all was mostly basically was teach purpose anyway. Well, she hoped at least it was like that. She didn't really know what was going on Jake's mind. They didn't really know each other that well. They again Sierra didn't really want him to be more than a friend.

Sierra listened what Jake said now softly in her ear. She wasn't sure why he spoke like that and it felt a bit weird but she didn't really say anything about it right now. She knew eventually she would have to speak up there now. She can't always be ordered around. She moved her hands when Jake basically helped them to be moved there now.

She watched how the ball went up to the hill and through the hole now. She had a bright smile on her face when she did it. She wasn't sure if it went into the hole too or not. Soon after Jake did let her go then the young woman went to another side to see if the ball had gone into the hole.

When she reached there she could see the ball in the hole. "Well," she started there now and looked at Jake. "Seems like we succeeded," she said there with a bright smile on her face. She really had done it.

Jake didn't seem to be getting anything from Sierra after that move, and he took that to mind as she moved off to see if she'd been successful with her putting. Women were a difficult breed to read, and unlike his teenage years, Jake had settled in to trying to at least get a clear sign when women did or didn't want things.

Seeing as Sierra hadn't said anything, though, he took that to mean she wasn't against his actions. But, she'd also not made any inclination of enjoying them, either.

With the confirmation of the putt, Jake grinned. "Well done!" He congratulated her, dropping his ball on to the putting spot and lining up his own shot. After a few moments of aligning, Jake played his shot, successfully getting in through the hole and down the other side in one go.

Moving around to see, Jake took up his ball from the hole, and moved on to the next after noting his score down.

And, it continued on in much the same manner, Jake noting the scores of each hole until they'd done, without trying anything further. When they'd finished, Jake tallied up the scores -- he'd won, but he wasn't surprised by that.

"Close game, close game!" Jake said, showing the card to Sierra which showed she'd done well on her first go. Taking the equipment back to the small shop, Jake returned to Sierra a few moments later. "So, you still want to go to the ship wreck?" He asked, not wanting to keep her if she wanted to head off somewhere else without him.

Sierra wasn't really sure what Jake tried to do. She had been too long away from the dating life or so even. Usually, when she talked another gender it was only on a professional level. Same goes with the same gender. She has never really been good at reading some signs. Then again she doesn't have that much of dating or so experiences anyways.

She has never really tried to get into a relationship even before working for Clements. When she was a teenager she more likely focused on her grades rather than getting to know boys. So she really had no idea what Jake really tried to do. This was all new to her. Really was. Even if she was already in her late twenties.

Sierra just nodded her head there and waited Jake have his turn. So soon after that, they went through every other hole in this game. She was actually kind of getting better in this every minute they were playing it. Even if yeah she could tell Jake was winning. Then again Sierra didn't mind it really. She knows that you can't always win and sometimes you have to lose too.

Well, she has never been a sore loser for sure. She has learned that sometimes it's more fun to part of something and have fun. Not just go after the winning something.

"It was yeah probably a close game," she said with a small smile there now. She was a bit tired after this game but the night was still young and she isn't sure when will be other time she has some free time. So she thought there a little before she answered about the shipwreck. "I won't mind going to see it. Not sure when will be next time I will have some free time to explore it," she said there simply with a small smile. She hoped it was okay with Jake.

When the witch agreed to heading to the shipwreck, Jake gave her a warm smile. Well, he hadn't completely lost his touch then, had he? He thought to himself in that moment as he pulled out the map from his back pocket and checked where they needed to go.

"Would you like to walk along the beach, or down the path?" Jake asked, seeing as there was two options. He didn't mind either way, but he'd definitely have to take his shoes off if they were heading on to the beach, there was nothing worse than getting sand in your shoes!

Waiting for the answer, Sierra picked the beach walk and Jake smiled at that. "As the lady wishes!" He replied, placing his hand lightly on her back to guide her towards the beach. If she didn't move away from that touch, Jake's hand would stay there, making the subtle move on the witch, and seeing how she took it.

When they reached the beach, Jake paused, taking a moment to take off his shoes. Looking around -- making sure there were no Muggles in sight, Jake shrank his shoes, and put them in his pocket, before continuing on their walk down the beach.

"So... what other beautiful places around the world have the Clements taken you to?" Jake asked, it wasn't the most random of questions, but Sierra was not easy to make conversation with, and Jake had used the normal subjects. Being on an island with an employer, though, suggested this might not be the first time, and, perhaps, this would allow the witch to talk a little bit more about places she'd been. Or, Jake could hope, anyway.
