I couldn’t help it. I was horrible at not investing fully in people back then, and I wasn’t much better now. I wanted to hold Tyson while I checked my e-mail and ate my breakfast. It was already starting and would only get worse.
I moved to the kitchen table and slumped down into a chair before working to fix a cup of cereal. I popped open my laptop and cleaned up my e-mail before pulling up the long techie one and sighing.
“Let’s do this.” I read through the e-mail and ate three cups of cereal without paying too much attention to it. The fix was in-depth and I hadn’t realized most of the day was gone until Brian stopped beside me and yawned loudly.
“You get the job?”
I glanced up at him before sitting back and rubbing my eyes. “I think so. I mean, yeah. I still need to figure out the logistics and such, but he’s a good guy and the baby is insanely adorable.”
“Sorry if I messed anything up. I thought I had my damn keys this morning, but—”
I cut him off. “No biggie. Want to get something to eat?”
My phone buzzed and Brian slid it toward me. “Yeah. Just let me put on something presentable and we’ll go.”
“Sounds good.” I picked up the phone as my heart contracted in my chest. Jax. Clearing my throat, I tried to sound awake and completely professional.
“This is Kendra.”
“Hi, Kendra. It’s Jax Wilder.”
“Hi, Mr. Wilder. What can I do for you?”
“It’s just Jax. Don’t make me feel old.” He laughed and I couldn’t help but smile. His voice was liquid sex and his laughter just happened to be the cherry on top.
“Sorry about that. Thank you again for last night. I’ve never experienced anything so crazy with something I ate.”
Brian moved to stand in front of me and lifted his eyebrow as if curious about my experience. I waved him off and mouthed, ‘later’.
“I’m the one who should be sorry. I almost killed you.” He chuckled again. “Anyway. I wanted to call and verify with you that you do in fact have the job. You did a great job with Tyson last night. I’m highly impressed.”
“That’s great news. Did you want me to start tomorrow?”
“Actually today. I know I said Saturday nights are your nights off, but we’ll start that next week.”
“Oh. Okay.” I turned and glanced at the clock. “What time do you want me there?”
“I’ll send a car for you later in the afternoon. And one more request that’s not really a request, but part of the job.”
“What’s that?” I turned back to my laptop and hit the final button. The screen cleared and my website popped back up, beautiful and colorful. I jumped up and did a little dance of pure joy.
“You’ll need to pack up. I want you to move in with me.”
“Yes!” I exclaimed at the screen, my hand in the air. Then it fell as realization dawned. What did he say…?
“Excellent. See you tonight.”
