I turn and look at him with widened eyes, "Are you asking me to turn this place into some kind of club with Keri."

He shrugs, tilting his head, "You could, you could do anything you want Macie, this would be yours. You can sit back collect, dance, run it, do whatever the hell you want with it; It would be a shame to put the talent you and Keri both have to only perform a few performances a year."

My heart melts with that, because before I opened up about everything to Jax and everyone, Kenny was the one who always was my biggest cheerleader; I was also called his million-dollar baby. And now I think I know why.

"But, I won’t do any of this…" He nods towards Jax, before he continues, "Unless he agrees, I will not take that smile I’ve seen on your face since you two started fucking."

"Kenny!" I snap in a laugh.

He chuckles, "I’m not stupid Macie."

I look up to Jax with my smile before I return my gaze on Kenny.

"I’m going to leave you two to talk, Keri doesn’t know. I didn’t want to get her hopes up until we talked; You two talk about it and let me know by the end of the week, I have it held till then." He states.

"Why would you do all this for me, Kenny?"

"Because I owe your father everything, and I didn’t get the chance to do it, and I know he would want me to do this."

Kenny meets Jax’s stare giving him a nod and Jax returns that nod, a manly word between the two in silence.

"Lock it up when you’re done." Kenny says as he turns walking away before he disappears.

"What the fuck." The words rush from my mouth in a whisper as my lips stay parted with my slightly panted breaths and I look up to Jax and in a way he looks just as shocked as me.

"This is crazy Jax."

"Do you want something like this?" He asks me, and I look around, my heart hammers in my chest, the tears pool in my eyes, feeling that pressure sweep through me.

I let out a sigh, "In a way, I’ve always wanted to do what Kenny does, it’s a lot of fun. But I also want the bigger stuff too. What I did the other night, that’s a lifetime opportunity, Jax. I don’t think I can give that up to do the same thing every day."

Way to drop a bomb on me Kenny. I feel the pressure in my chest. I want both; Can I have both?

"You have a week to think about it Macie."

I turn and meet Jax’s gaze on me and I search his eyes, trying to feel some kind of vibe he’s feeling from this. If he is okay with it, not okay. I don’t know.

"What do you think?"

I see that jaw tick and I know from there, "You don’t want me to, do you?"

He takes a step towards me, as he loops his arms around my back and I look up, sliding my hands up his biceps.

"I want you to have what you want, but I don’t know if I can handle you doing everything you did before. Angel, I loved it, I did, but I can’t have guys drooling over what’s mine."

I smile as my eyes flutter, "What if things were different?"

"How so?"

"I don’t know exactly, but I want to talk about this, Jax." I deepen my gaze on him, "I want this with you, not without you."

Sure Thing

Macie

Staring out the window of the plane looking at the night sky, feeling like I could reach out and touch a cloud; It's so weird, I secretly hate flying and we are on an 8-hour flight.

As we waited to board, I hit the bar and chugged a jack and coke to calm my nerves and when I got on the plane, I went to sleep.
