Bet On You

Chapter Three

Max

As soon as I get home I shoot Jessica a text,

Me: Hey this is Max, just letting you know that I made it home. Sweet dreams sweet Jessica, dream of me. 😉

I know it's late, so I don't expect a reply back from her. However, my phone pings.

Jessica: I'm glad that you made it home safe. Good night. 😊

I don't know why, but the fact that she answered makes me so giddy inside. I text back.

Me: Are you asleep?

Jessica: Not yet, I just have to wash my face then I'm heading off to bed.

Jessica: I'm sorry, that was too much information.

Me: Not at all. I want to know every little thing about you.

Jessica: Oh...

Me: Don't worry baby, I'll woo you and you won't be able to resist me.

Jessica: You are very sure of yourself Mr McCauder, who says I'm even on the market?

Me: Good night baby. I'll see you very soon.

Jessica: Good night.

I'm not ashamed to say that, I had the bests night's sleep after our text messages.

I lie awake in my bed the next morning and picture the beautiful smile on Jess's face. I can make her so happy as my girl, I already consider her as being my girl anyway. 

I have a picture of her as my wife. We are enjoying a day at the beach playing with our kids and all seems right in my world at this moment. Damn! I need to hurry up with claiming her because I am already missing her. I decide to send her a text so she doesn't forget about me. 

Me: Hey beautiful.

I wait a few minutes and get nothing back. I go about my morning routine which includes taking a shower, brushing my teeth. Then I going downstairs to get my coffee. 

After I finish my coffee, I go back to my room to get my phone. I see I have one unread message from my girl, that sparks an idea in my head. I need to change her name on my phone and in a way speak it into existence.

Wifey: Good morning.

Me: Hope you slept well. What are your plans for today?

Wifey: I slept well thank you, how about you? I don't know my plans yet, maybe I'll lounge around the house and just relax. 

Me: Well I've got a lunch date with the guys then I have the rest of the day free, so I think I'm going to hit the gym.

Wifey: Your day sounds more interesting than mine. I seriously don't think you need any more muscles, not that I've been checking out your muscles.

Jessica quickly deletes the last message, but I've already seen it. I laugh to myself because I see now that she sees me in the same light that I see her. I decide to play with her a little.

Me: Don't worry baby, I always see you checking me out when you think I'm not watching 😉

She's quite for a while after that. I start to wonder if I've embarrassed her or taken it a step too far but then she responds. 

Wifey: I'm always watching you because you have this weird taste in clothing. Once I saw ketchup on the side of your lip and was wondering how you didn't see that.
