Life really couldn’t any better, she thought as Nick put her tray down and placed his laptop in front of her, already on the online Scrabble game. He placed his hand on her knee, gently caressing her skin as he spoke with Patti. As they went over the next week’s schedule she kicked some serious butt at Scrabble.
A little while later when he slipped her the chocolate bar he’d promised her she couldn’t help but smile. She had her dream job, a great mother, an incredible guy who spoiled her with chocolate. What more could a girl want? she thought as she leaned over and kissed Nick’s cheek. He immediately stopped talking to Patti to turn his head and brush a quick kiss against her lips before returning his attention back to Patti, picking up right where he left off.
It really didn’t get any better than this, she decided as she slipped another bite of chocolate in her mouth and took Nick’s hand into hers. She changed her opinion a moment later when Nick turned to whisper something in her ear.
“I love you, Jamie.”
Maybe being plain old Jamie wasn’t so bad after all, she thought with a smile.
