close.
“Well, I never told you this, but I used to be a boy scout.” He glances down at me.
“So you’re always prepared?” I question.
He leans in and kisses me on the forehead before staring into my eyes, his expression now thoughtful.
“I wasn’t prepared for you.”
Chapter Ten

Late - April
I’m on my way over to Sharon Moore’s house to discuss our lack of findings and collect the final payment for the work we did for her. With the initial surveillance and computer monitoring we didn’t find anything incriminating. Sharon then extended our contract for another two weeks. After all our investigating Bryan came up clean. The offshore account in the Cayman’s we found is in Bryan and Sharon’s names. They own a vacation home and use it whenever they stay there.
It’s been eight weeks since Janny and I went on our first date and things couldn’t be better with us. We’ve been spending all our free time together and sleeping over each other’s places a few nights each week. She sleeps at my condo more often than not, since I live alone and she has Elle. I’ve met her ex-boyfriend Josh and I wanted to punch him in the face for the way he looked at Janny. I hate knowing there’s a history between them and they’re still friends. Anyone with eyes can see he still wants her, but it’s never going to happen, she belongs with me and I’m never letting her go.
When I pull in the Moore’s driveway I take in the stately appearance of their large home. It’s a colonial style, like most in this well to do neighborhood, and there’s an attached three car garage where Bryan parks his vehicles. I know for sure he’s not here today, Sharon mentioned he would be golfing with some friends all afternoon when we scheduled this meeting.
I walk up the gently curved brick pathway to the door, thinking about Janny and how I left her earlier this morning, sleeping in her bed. I kissed her forehead and whispered “I love you,” but only because I knew she was sound asleep and couldn’t hear me. I’ve yet to say those three important words to her and I know it’s time for me to open up and tell her how deeply my feelings run. I’m sure she needs to hear it and I want her to know she’s the best part of my life.
I also have to tell her about how Sharon hired me. If she somehow found out before I’ve had a chance to speak with her it would be disastrous and it would irreparably hurt her. Hurting her is the last thing I would ever want to do.
Once I knock on the door it’s only a moment before Sharon invites me in. I follow her to the kitchen and we exchange pleasantries.
“Here’s the final report. It details everything we did.” I hand her the folder.
“Here’s your check. I really appreciate all you guys did and it’s a huge weight off my shoulders to know it was all in my imagination. I’m feeling a bit guilty I went behind his back and did this, but what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.”
I’m just about to reply when I hear a voice I wasn’t expecting to hear right now.
“Kyle, what are you doing here?” Janny asks, her brow furrowed.
Before I can say anything Sharon cuts in. “How do you two know each other?”
I open my mouth to answer, but Janny beats me to it.
“We’re friends. I know him from the coffee shop near school.” Janny looks unsure, standing there with her arms crossed over her chest.
“Sharon if there’s anything else you need, don’t hesitate to call,” I say while I move over toward Janny.
“Walk out with me, please.”
She hesitates for a moment and just when I think she’s not going to come with me, she takes a step in my direction. I wait until we’re outside and the door is closed before I say
