I hated that idea. “Perfect.”
“All right.” The guy gave us a knowing smile. “You can go for the day, Jurnie, and we’ll get things started on our end.”
“Thank you so much for this opportunity.” My girl gave him a big grin.
I shook all of their hands, then it was time to go. With even less time together, we might have to get naked in the car. I didn’t fucking care. All I knew for sure was that I was getting inside her before I left. She was the only person who could stop that from happening.
“I can’t believe this,” she said as she sat back against the passenger seat of her car. She’d tossed the keys to me. “I have to tell my parents. Pack. What the heck do I bring on the road with me?”
“Call Lexi or Daisy. They’ll tell you.” I pulled her car out onto the street. Luckily, I knew the fastest way to my apartment. We’d have about two hours before I had to start my way to the airport. “I’m not sure what women need on the road.”
She giggled. “I’ll do that. Are we going to your apartment?”
“Unless you object, yes.”
“I don’t object,” she said quickly. “Don’t you need to eat?”
“Open the app, order us food, I really don’t care what, and it’ll be there when we get there. We can eat after.”
“On it.” She tapped away on her phone without asking any questions. I really didn’t give a fuck what kind of food showed up. If it meant even five more minutes with Jurnie, I’d eat whatever got dropped off.
“I’m sorry I ran,” she told me quietly. My hand tightened on her thigh.
“I get why you did. But all of that’s settled.” I pulled into my apartment complex, found a spot to park, and turned her car off. “I fucking love you, Jurnie. I’ll do whatever I have to do to keep you happy.”
“I’d like to think I’m pretty low maintenance in most areas. That just hit me hard for some reason. It won’t happen again.” My girl climbed over until she was straddling my lap. “I love you too.”
Her fingers caressed the sides of my face as she leaned in to kiss me.
This was much different than at the radio station. This wasn’t excitement and longing. This was love, and if I didn’t get her inside the apartment soon, my neighbors were going to get a show.
All that mattered at this moment was that we were together and within days, I’d have her on the road, at least for a while, though I hoped for the rest of the summer.
I couldn’t ask for more.
