“No.” Dax starts shaking his head. “No way. I do not want you guys hooking me up.”
“Why not? It’s not like we’ll let Bode set you up.”
A weird look washes over his face. “I don’t need you guys to set me up.”
“See?” Jasper unpauses the game before him and Dax get back to it. “Everyone is happy.”
Happy.
It’s a foreign feeling. I mean, I’m happy with my life. I love Sam and Sadie. But the happiness of being with Harper? It’s different.
Like it’s something just for me.
Pulling out my phone, I let the guys go back to whatever conversation they’re having and text Harper.
Marcus
You make me happy, you know that?
Harper
I do?
Yes.
Is there a reason you’re telling me?
No point in hiding it
I don’t want to screw up with you
Wow
An adult relationship. I like it
What can I say? I’m a single dad. No beatingaround the bush
Well, you make me happy
“See, there’s that smile again,”Bode points out as Dax and Graham face off in the final round. “You really are in a good mood.”
My phone buzzes again. This time, I see a photo come through. Before I open it, I wave my goodbyes.
“Since I lost, I’m heading down to bed. I’ll see you guys tomorrow.” I point to Jasper. “Your job to make sure they stay in line.”
Jasper groans. “Fine.”
Once I get out into the hallway, I head toward the elevator to get back down to my room. I pull up the picture Harper sent.
Fuck me.
She’s wearing my jersey while blowing me a kiss.
Harper
Thought this was good luck tonight
Marcus
