Jaxtyn's Pov

I wake in the middle of the night with a blanket draped over my shoulders and TV is turned off. "Skye?"

There's a left over sweet smell of strawberries from Skye's perfume and that's when I realise she might have gone home.

Why didn't she wake me up?

All the lights are turned off. Walking over to the wall I turn the light on and check that the door is locked.

I see that it's locked and then walk to my bedroom and climb into the king sized bed. Pulling off my shirt and shorts I climb into bed and fall asleep.

The sun is shining into my room, which wakes me up from my deep slumber. Turning over I look at the clock on the nightstand and it says 7:30am.

I have to get ready for my day of playing golf with Joey and Mr Reeves.

I promised them that I would meet them here today while Joey's wife took Skye somewhere.

They're not telling me where Skye and her Grandmother are going. It's like they need to keep it a secret until something happens for them to reveal it.

I know it's none of my business what Skye gets up to with her family, but at the same time all I want to do is protect her.

Ding!

My phone goes off alerting me to a message.

Joey: I heard you kissed my Granddaughter. We'll be talking about during the game.

Me: Okay,

Joey: Darius wants you to know that he'll be doing the same.

Me: Should I be worried.

Joey: Very

Joey: :)

I hope they're playing with me and that I'm not really going to be in trouble for kissing her under the mistletoe.

A smile spreads across my face and then I go into Mom's message and send her one.

Me: Can you get mistletoes put around the house for the Christmas Party.

Mom: Does this have anything to do with you wanting an excuse to kiss one of my guests. Aka Skye Reeves?

Me: So, what if it does. I don't think she'd kiss me under any other circumstances.

Mom: You're wrong, son. She'd kiss you without the mistletoe. Everyone knows she's like ever since you were kids. You were just blind not to see it.

Me: Thanks, Mom. I still want the mistletoe though.

Mom: I'll have them put up. Should I place one above your bedroom door? Just in case you make it that far.

Me: Mom...

Me: ...

Me: I'm not thinking that far ahead. Besides, Skye and I aren't at that level of where we'd think about that.

Mom: someone's got there knickers in a bunch.

I put my phone on silent and then climb into the shower. Stepping under the shower head I grab some lynx soap and wash my body.

Once I'm done I step out of the shower and dry myself. Wrapping a towel around my hips I head back to my bedroom and go through the closet and pull out a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt.

Pulling out a pair of black boxer I put them on and then continue to get dressed. Grabbing a brush from the nightstand I quickly run it through my hair and then head to the kitchen where I make breakfast for myself.

There's a knock on the door and I walk over to it. Opening it I see Skye's roommate Chelsea. She has her arms folded across her body. Looking at me she says. "It's you I have to thank for that awesome ride I get drive?"

"Yes, it is. I'm sorry I couldn't reach out to you earlier. I just didn't want Skye to get mad. There's still a few things that we need to sort out."

She laughs. "I'm sure it's all been sorted out. She told me about the kiss yesterday and she doesn't regret it at all. The only thing she's worried about is when she walked out on you."

I'm not going to hold that against her. I think she was just shocked that I would do something like that to her in a lift.

"Can you tell Skye she doesn't have to worry about it? Are you taking her to Country Club this morning?"

She looks at the keys in her hand. "Actually, I'm running late for work. She knew I couldn't take her today. So, she's going to take a taxi."

"I'll go down and see her soon. Hopefully, she's still there."

Chelsea pulls her phone out of her pocket and writes something into the phone. She turns it towards me and I read the message.

Chelsea: I'm sending a friend to pick you up. He'll take you to the Country Club.

Skye: Thanks.

A smile spreads across my face. "Thanks for helping me out."

"You're good for her. Just don't fuck it up, Jaxtyn."

"I won't."

She turns on her heel and walks away. Pressing the button for the lift she waits for the doors to open before stepping inside.

I shut the door and then walk back to the kitchen and finish off cooking bacon and eggs for breakfast.

After breakfast I wash the dishes and leave them to drip dry. Grabbing my keys off the stand next to the door I step out of the apartment. I take the stairs down a couple of floors and then open the door on Skye's floor.

Her apartment is four doors away from the stairs. Standing in front of the door I knock on it and wait for Skye to open it.

She opens the door and smiles. "Hey, Jaxtyn. I should have known that Chelsea would send you down here to pick me up. After all that girl knows we spend a lot of time at the same place."

"Are you okay with me driving you there? Or is it weird?"

Shaking her head she says. "It's not weird, Jaxtyn. We're going to the same place. I know you've got a strong relationship with my family and I'm not going to be the one that steps between that."

"Thanks." I lead the way to the lift and she stands beside me.

A smirk appears on her beautiful face. "Are you trying to trick me into kissing you?"

I scratch the back of my head. It's a nervous habit I have and strangely enough she's the cause of my nerves being rattled. "Yeah,"

She throws her head back and laughs. "All you have to do is ask, Jaxtyn. I'm not going to deny you kissing me. I like it a lot." Her face starts to heat up and she tells me that.

"I know this is moving fast for us, Skye. I was just wondering if you'd like to go on a date. You don't have..." she shuts me up by placing her lips on mine and pulling me into the lift.

The doors close and she presses the button for the garage. Pulling away from me she says. "I would love to go out with you, Jaxtyn. Don't ever think I'd say no to you. You're the one I have wanted for years, but I hated you for too long as well."
