Charlotte’s POV
Kissing Jack was amazing, and my entire body was on fire as I clung to him. He made feel like I was on cloud nine, and I couldn’t believe what just happened. I was still in his arms after our heated kiss, and I could feel him kissing my forehead as he caressed my back.
It felt so lovely to be this close to him. And it made realize I wanted him so much that my heart ached. It would be a waste of ti if I rejected him now, and for once, I want to be true to myself.
No one dared to talk as we continued to hug each other, and I didn’t want the night to end. The loud beating of his heart mirrored mine, and I smiled, thinking we felt the sa way.
We ended up in my bed without breaking our kiss, and when Jack asked to be his girlfriend, I slowly raised my head and looked at him in the eyes.
I replied yes, and I could see the happiness on his face. Then, I tiptoed and kissed him as he tightened his arms around and kissed back with too much intensity, which made feel so weak.
I didn’t know how long we made out, but it was enough to make us both breathless after he released my mouth.
"Thank you for making so happy. I promise to be here for you no matter what," Jack mumbled as he tucked so loose hair that covered my face.
"Can I stay here with you tonight?" He asked, and I suddenly felt alard.
"Hey, you don’t need to feel scared. I am not going to do sothing you don’t like, but I understand, and I am sorry for being insensitive. I don’t want your staff to find out I was sleeping here in your room." Jack added as he cupped my face.
"Jack, I want to spend the night with you. I don’t care what they say about us. We are both adults." I responded, trying to look cool, but the truth is I was nervous to sleep with him, but I was old enough, and I was waiting for this mont to find the right man to give myself entirely to him.
"I really want to do that, but I don’t want you to have regrets later on, Charlotte. I know how you value your morality." Jack declared.
"I respect you, and I don’t want to ruin your trust. I can wait," he added, and I weakly smiled at him.
"Thank you, Jack," I mumbled.
"I want to make it special for us and make it the best night of your life." He replied, and my face suddenly felt warm.
I never had any experience with a man, but with Jack, I wanted to give him myself and experience it for the first ti. I knew I would never have regrets, but it made feel so special that he wanted to take it slow.
And after he confessed that he was in love with , I wanted to scream that, finally, I found the right man for , and I was in love with him.
"I think I should go now; don’t ever take back your answer. I am afraid you will have a change of heart when you wake up tomorrow morning, and you will break up with ." Jack said, and I giggled.
"I am sorry, but that is not happening, and you have no right to break up with either," I responded, and he chuckled.
"That is not going to happen, Charlotte," Jack replied without taking his intense gaze from , which gave butterflies in my chest.
"Good night," he added as he held my hand.
"Good night, Jack," I replied.
"See you tomorrow," I added.
"I expect we will be eating breakfast together," he replied.
"Of course, and I hope no more early runs with one of our guests," I responded without hiding how I truly felt.
"For the record, I didn’t ask Jen to have an early run with . I planned to speak with you, and I was shocked when she joined . I wish it were you I was talking and running with this morning." He said as he squeezed my hand.
"I am sorry if I hurt you," Jack added, and I smiled at him.
"I should be the one who should apologize for acting like a child. I admit, I was jealous of her." I responded as I lowered my head, but Jack cupped my chin and raised my head so I would be looking into his beautiful eyes.
"I like that you were jealous. You looked cute when you were jealous, but you are my girlfriend now; you don’t need to be jealous of anyone. I only like you, Charlotte." He replied, and my heart raced.
"I just want to tell you that I needed to face our custors occasionally," Jack added.
"I know, I was out of line for reprimanding you this morning, I don’t want to be a bitch, but I couldn’t help it. I felt so hurt watching you flirt with those won." I teased him.
"Hey, I didn’t flirt with any of them. I talked to them with professionalism. I want your business to prosper, Charlotte, and that is why I ask you to allow Jen and her company to extend their stay." Jack said.
"Well, I am sure if they found out I am your girlfriend now, they would check out right away." I satter, and he laughed.
"I don’t care, and I will not hide you from the world. I damn proud to have you as my girl." He replied, and his response ward my heart.
Jack left after we shared another hot kiss, and I was lying in bed touching my lips and reliving the kisses we shared until I fell asleep.
I woke up early, and I felt different. I was grinning the entire ti as I got ready for work, and I was shocked to find him leaning on his bedroom door with a bouquet of red roses in his hand.
"Good morning, my sunshine!" He greeted with a beautiful smile and handed the flowers before kissing .
"Good morning, Jack," I replied after he let go of my mouth.
"You make my morning complete," I added as he took my hand, and together, we walked through the hallways down the stairs without caring if the employees might see us. I felt glad no one was around as we made our way to the kitchen.
"Do you think it is okay to have a PDA?" I asked, blushing.
"Well, if you ask , I don’t care, but I think I should refrain from holding your hands and kissing your lips when we have company since you are still my employer, and I am one of your employees." Jack declared.
"You are my business partner, Jack, but you are right; we don’t want our employees to feel uncomfortable around us. We can keep our relationship as discreet as possible. We should separate our personal lives from our work." I responded, and he nodded.
"That works for ," he said.
"But after work, we should spend so ti alone together because I miss kissing you," Jack added as his eyes lingered on my lips before he let go of my hand and motioned to follow him.
My face turned bright red as I followed behind him. He prepared a special breakfast for , and when Cecily joined us, I could see the excitent on her face.
"Are you now a couple?" She asked without hesitation.
"Yes," Jack and I replied in unison, and her face lit up as she hugged us.
"Finally, I could breathe; it took you so long to accept you are ant to be," our friend said after she released us from her hold.
"I am happy for you guys," she added.
"Thank you, Cel," I said after she sat across from .
We ate breakfast, and I was in high spirits. I accommodated Jen’s request, and she gladly paid for their extension. It was a beautiful week for us.
"Did you know Jack is Charlotte’s girlfriend?" I heard soone say, and I quickly stopped in my tracks and hid at the door leading to the back garden.
"I don’t care if he has a girlfriend; they are not married yet," Jen replied, and I suddenly felt alard.
"Jen, you should stop; you can find soone else," her friend said.
"No, I liked Jack Morigan from the mont I saw him on Television, and I couldn’t stop thinking about him and promised to look for him whatever it takes," Jen replied.
"And now that I am here, I won’t stop. How many tis have I visited his restaurant in Archois, but he wasn’t around, and this is my chance to be with him." She added.
"I don’t think your motto will work on him, Jen," his friend stated.
"Why are you so negative, Steph? I brought you here and paid for everything to give your full support and not to give your unsolicited advice." Jen said with irritation.
"I always get what I want, whatever it takes, Steph, and I don’t care who will get hurt."
She added, and my entire body trembled as I listened to their conversation.
"Hey, are you okay?" Jack asked as he sat beside on the couch inside my room. He quickly put his arms around my waist and pulled closer to him.
"I am fine," I replied.
"I know sothing is bothering you," Jack said.
"I am just tired from answering emails, and phone calls the whole day, and I couldn’t believe we have a booking for a wedding reception two months from now, and I am excited about it," I declared as I tried my best to look enthusiastic about the social function.
"Oh, that is good news!" Jack replied with a wide grin on his face.
"Yes, and we are expecting three hundred guests, more or less," I answered, and his face fell.
"We only have limited rooms, and we can’t accommodate three hundred guests." He responded with worries on his face.
"The couple is from Barcelonia; most of their guests will go ho after the reception; only the bride and groom’s family will stay for one week," I responded, and his apprehensions disappeared.
"That’s better," he replied.
"I guess it is ti for us to hire cooks and stewards to help you in the kitchen. You can’t do everything on your own." Charlotte said.
"Okay, but not so many; we will only hire extra staff during social functions," Jack replied.
My hot chef boyfriend brought sothing to eat, and we shared a lovely dinner in my bedroom. We drank so wine to celebrate our successful deal and, of course, to celebrate our relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend.
We settled on the couch, and I tried my best to stop thinking about what Jen had said as I put my head on his chest and listened to his sexy voice as he whispered sweet nothings in my ear and shared sweet kisses in between.
