“I so wish!”

“Have a wonderful day,” she replied. “I will get that problem fixed for you as soon as I can.”

“I’m counting down the minutes and the seconds.”

After lunch, Jack stopped by Britt’s cubicle. She never even looked up because she knew he found the perfect excuse to see her. He was bringing her a box with copy paper for her printer.

“Do you have that package for me?” she said in a professional voice.

“Yes, I do. I have this box, too.”

Britt burst out laughing. She glanced around but nobody was looking or even around. He handed her the box and she thanked him, then set it next to her printer.

“Only a few more hours to go,” Britt said.

They talked for a few minutes before he left. Nobody suspected anything. They carried on underneath the cloak of invisibility. The last thing they wanted to do was turn their love affair into a soap opera. And dating the boss’s son could come with major pitfalls. The biggest one Britt could think of was being accused of favoritism.

Dating Jack went beyond the excitement of a fling. Britt loved the way he accepted her and loved her for who she was. She loved the way he loved her unconditionally. Jack made her feel happy, content, comfortable, and secure. She loved that Jack was her best friend in the whole world and that she could tell him anything. They’d talk for hours on the phone or late into the night. They even talked the entire night away after lovemaking.

Britt loved that Jack’s voice was the last voice she’d hear before she went to bed, and he was also the last person she’d think about before she fell asleep. She could also be herself around him at all times. And tonight...Jack was introducing her officially to his dad as his girlfriend.

She felt like this was the real thing. And that made her heart soar.

Jack brought Britt to the hospital to see his dad. They were going to tell him everything. Britt was a nervous wreck.

“Stop fidgeting,” Jack said.

“Easy for you to say. What if he doesn’t think I’m good enough? I’m just a bookkeeper, nothing more.”

“You’re a damn good one, the best I’ve ever seen.”

“But what if wants you to be with a rich doctor or surgeon or something.”

“My dad’s not like that. He could care less if I was dating a college student with no money. He only cares about my happiness. Because he’s awesome like that.”

She smiled.

He pulled her close. “My dad is going to love you. Hell, he already knows you and says nothing but great things. You have nothing to worry about.”

“Does he know how we met? That you took me home? Picked me up?”

“I love the way we met. We both had this crazy attraction and we couldn’t take our hands off each other. I’d never wanted any other woman more than you.”

“One-night stands have a bad reputation.”

“It might’ve started off with a one-night stand, but it turned into something so much more. What we have, it’s special and it led us straight to love. There’s no rule on how to meet someone. It’s all just chance and timing. And it’s silly to think you can’t have a future with a one-night stand. Besides, if I hadn’t met you that particular night, I would’ve met you at the office and I surely would’ve asked you out. So either way, we were destined to meet. And if you ask me, that’s fate.”

She cupped his face, tears welling in her eyes. Jack was a one-night stand Britt never regretted.

“I love you, Britt.”

“I love you, too.”

“So really, does your dad know how we met?”

“No, he thinks you just swept me away at the office, which is completely true.”
