"Yes Shannon!" I replied, mocking how excited she was.

"Look at this!" She said, running over to my desk and slapping a magazine on it.

I chuckled and picked up the magazine. My jaw dropped when I realized what it was.

It was the magazine that I had done the photoshoot for. They had chosen the shot with me with my elbows rested on the guy's shoulders as we all laughed.

I smiled widely and looked back up at Shannon who was standing there with the same smile.

"Okay so I'm literally throwing these magazines all around the office. Blake this is so crazy!"

I laughed at her as my eyes drifted back to the magazine cover. Specifically back to Charles. In the photo, he was looking right at me.

"Do you see the way Charles was looking at you? That is a look of love." Shannon said with a smirk.

I laughed again before setting the magazine on my desk again.

"Thank you Shannon." I said

She nodded before exiting my office.


The rest of my day at work went a long smoothly, and before I knew it the work day was over.

The whole day I could only think of how excited I was to see Patricia and Jim.

After I got my stuff, I walked to the elevator and was met by David.

"Where are you going?" he asked as we both got into the elevator.

"Home. Where are you going?"

"I've got a date." he said with a smirk.

"Ooooooooo!" I said in a flirty tone with a smirk on my face.

David playfully slapped my arm as I laughed.

The elevator doors opened and we said goodbye.

I walked to the parking lot and got into my car.


When I got home, I ran up the stairs to the deck and swung the door open. Jim and Patricia were sitting with Charles on the couch.

They're heads all turned to me with wide grins.

Soon enough, I was engulfed in a group hug.

"It's so good to see you!" I said.

"We missed you. Didn't we Jim?" Patricia said

"We did." Jim replied.

Once we pulled away from the group hug, Charles spoke.

"Dinner is ready in the kitchen."

His parents walked to the kitchen while he wrapped his arm around my waist.
