“Tell me why you haven’t asked me to go with you,” she demanded.
He paused, a confused expression on his face. He looked as if she wanted to know the cure for cancer. “You have a life here. A great job, friends, and you are happy. How is that fair to ask you to leave it for me? You’ll someday resent me.”
“Are you kidding me?” Her eyes wide, she said, “This life I have here doesn’t matter without you.”
“What?” he asked, and she could tell that he was flabbergasted.
“My life has been completely altered by you, and I’d rather move from the place I’ve been for only a year than lose you.”
His mouth slowly fell open. She couldn’t believe this: He thought she wouldn’t go and that’s why he didn’t ask? She should have just told him from the beginning that she would go with him; it would have saved her a month of stress.
God, they were a mess.
“Okay, let me get this straight,” he said, pointing at her. “You’ll come to Carolina with
me?”
She smiled as her heart slammed into her chest. Running her hand over her face to wipe
the tears away, she said, “Yes, Jordan. I love you. I’d follow you to the ends of the earth as long as you loved me and wanted me too.”
Jordan took a step toward her, his eyes locked on hers as he asked, “Really?”
“All you have to do is ask me, and I’ll go.”
The air crackled around them. This was the turning point. A wide grin came over his face, and he took her in his arms and kissed her hard on the lips.
Aynslee moved her arms around his neck, holding him tight as he deepened the kiss. She could feel his heart pounding in his chest, matching the rhythm of hers. She loved this man, with everything inside her, and would for the rest of her life.
He kissed the side of her mouth as she asked, “So we are doing this?”
“Oh, yeah, there is no backing out now. You’re mine, Aynslee Shaw. I want you there when I start in every game. I want to come home to you and make love to you every night. I want to marry you someday and have little blue-eyed redhead babies,” he said, making her laugh. Then he became serious as he leaned his head into hers and said, “But I swear I will make you the happiest woman on earth, because I’ll never love someone the way I love you.”
“You’ve already accomplished that,” she said, threading her fingers into his hair. She softly kissed his lips while her body tingled under his touch. He held her as if he would never let go. And she hoped he never did, because she sure as hell wasn’t going anywhere.
Pulling back, she looked up at his gorgeous face, excited for their future together. She didn’t know what it held, but she knew as long as she was with Jordan, it would be everything she wanted.
Moving her fingers down his face, loving the feel of his beard, she closed her eyes as she whispered, “I love you.”
Leaning his head against hers, Jordan said, “Not as much as I love you.”
And they lived happily ever after . . . .
