Like a girl like you with a heart of gold. A man’s dream. My dream.”
Jody didn’t know what to say. “Oh, Jake…”
“It’s okay, no words are needed right now. Later, I’m gonna tell you all about my connection to the owner of this condominium corporation and…well, I’d like you to meet my brother John and my dad later. Much later.”
“Can’t wait to meet your family.”
They sealed their engagement with a kiss and Jody thought to herself, she was happy she was jilted by Gregory at the altar months ago. She never would have had the pleasure of meeting the real Mr. Right. Yes, it was true, with every disappointing closed door, there is another door opened and ready for those who dare take another chance on love. If a guy walked out of her life—it was probably a favour to her, even it she didn’t know it at the time.
“It’s true what Mae West once said, “a girl’s gotta love a bad guy once or twice in her life to be thankful for a good one.”
Jake looked puzzled.
“Jake I love you and I will never take you for granted. I really appreciate you for who you are.”
He grinned as he inched closer to her and kissed her passionately again and again.
