Chapter 24

Jake’s POV

I felt like a teenager again. I'd forgotten the strange and juvenile impulses that came with being a young adolescent and discovering that your body had urges and desires you couldn't always control. 

But it was more than just desire. It was the increased pulse every time she walked past. It was the way I looked up excitedly when she walked into the room. 

It was the way my mind landed on her every time I had a moment to myself. The first few days after we'd slept together, I had been scrambling around trying to find someone competent to replace Janet. 

Kristen had picked up a lot of the slack for me when I worked from home. Thankfully, a few days ago, she sent me this list with contact numbers of all the best babysitters and nannies in San Diego. 

It had been an extensive list with details about every person on it. It had taken me eleven meetings and three-second interviews, but I'd finally found someone I was happy with.
