“Friday, the 20thit is then. Send out a memo to the staff tomorrow with our address.”

“Our address?”

“The one requirement of being my girlfriend is that you have to move in with me permanently.”

“Are you serious, Jack?”

“Yes, sweetheart. We’ll pack up your apartment this weekend and get you moved out. Don’t worry about your lease. I’ll take care of it.”

“God, I love you so much.” She threw her arms around me.

“I love you too.”

Chapter Thirty-Five

Sierra

I woke up the next morning sore as shit. Jack and I had sex for hours after we put Ellie to bed to celebrate our love for each other.

“Are you okay?” Jack asked as I stumbled into the bathroom.

“I’m very sore, compliments of your large manhood.” I smirked.

He chuckled. “I’m sorry. I told you we shouldn’t do it again that last time, but you insisted.”

“I know.” I started the shower. “You’re forgiven. But keep your dick in your pants for a while.”

“How long are we talking?” His brows furrowed.

“I’ll let you know, big guy.” I patted his chest before climbing into the soothing hot shower.

I met Becca for lunch that afternoon to tell her the news about Jack and me.

“So, what’s been going on with you?”

“Jack and I are a couple now.” I smiled.

“Stop it! Are you serious?”

“Yeah. We professed our love for each other yesterday.”

“Gah, I’m so happy for you!”

“Thanks. He’s all gun-ho for Christmas now. The decorating company was at the office before we even got there this morning and already decorating. He’s having a big office Christmas party at the house, which you’re invited to, and he wants me to join him.”

“Join him? Where?”

“On the other side of holiday hell. He wants me to revel in all the festivities and be happy and overjoyed about them like he is.”

“Thank God someone had the nerve to knock some sense into you.”

“He said we’re both starting over and going to experience Christmas as if it were the first time.”

“I think that’s a great idea.”

“Yeah. Maybe. But I can’t just flip a switch like he can.”

“Then just let some holiday joy into your heart one day at a time.” She smiled and reached across the table, placing her hand on mine. “You deserve so much happiness, Sierra. You love Jack and Ellie. That’s all you need. The rest will follow.”
