“Same. I mean, everything except for the birth control.”
“Make love to me, Max.” I ask.
Our hips glide together slowly, as we pour our emotions into the kiss into the single most erotic moment of our relationship so far.
MAXWELL
I didn’t intend to tell Peyton that I was in love with her in the way that I did, but it came out naturally.
Saying those words to one another, while as sappy as it sounds, brought us closer and this trip will go down in the books as the most memorable of the past few months.
It’s the trip where my girlfriend, my wife told me that she loves me.
After celebrating our declarations to one another, I took her out for pancakes and watched her devour and love every single bite.
“I want to run something by you,” she starts with full mouth.
“Sure thing, what’s up?” I reply popping a piece of bacon in my mouth.
“Now, this has nothing to do with the events of this morning. But my boss has been hinting at a few things over the past few months.”
“Oh, yeah? What’s this?” I quirk an eyebrow in curiosity.
“So, you know how I told you that my boss was asking for my opinion on the Seattle office, right?”
“Yeah,” I say leaning into her.
“So, what if I volunteered to be transferred over to the new office? The one in Seattle?”
“Is that an option?” My interest is peaked.
“I’m not sure what his plan is completely, but he keeps coming to me for all things related to the new office. I’ve been in a few meetings about the new space, and even though, he hasn’t said it outright, I think that if I even suggest that I make the transfer he will immediately approve it. I think he’s just waiting for me to catch on,” she smiles.
“And you have caught on.” I state.
“I have.” She nods.
“Well, what are you waiting for?” I ask, “call your boss right now and make the offer!” I smile.
“Chill out, there’s a lot more to talk about before making a huge decision like that. Plus, it needs to be known right from the start, that while yes, I do love you—gosh, that sounds so liberating saying out loud—that I would be moving for work and not for you. I would also need to talk to Quinn, since that would mean I would have to move out and she would be responsible for my half of the rent.”
“You make that sound so horrible, like it’s a bad thing that you would be moving for me.” I say jokingly.
“Well, that’s a bonus.” She says with a lift of her shoulder. “But I wouldn’t be moving just for that, I’m not that kind of girl. It’s a big decision, and I would still need to weigh all the options. But it’s an option.”
“I would have no objections if you choose to do that.” I reply.
I wasn’t sure if we were there yet. If we were at the point where we would determine who would move to be with one another. But I’m definitely lying to myself as I have been looking into options for the past month. Opening an office in another state wouldn’t be an overnight thing, but it appears that Peyton’s boss put his gears into motion faster than I did.
“It’s not pathetic?” She looks to me for assurance.
“Why would it be pathetic? Your boss is actually opening an office in my city. That was something that was in the works before I tracked you down.” I tell her.
“I guess that’s true.” She smiles taking another bite of her stack. “I will talk to my boss on Monday, gauge where he is and then we’ll see. More conversation to come, but I just wanted to see if this would be an okay thing.”
I stand up and scoot her over on her side of the booth, place my arm around her and pull her to me.
“Babe, this is the most okay thing that I’ve ever discussed. I told you that I want to have my mornings and nights with you, this is just a more legit way of getting it to happen instead of kidnapping you.”
