One Wild Night

Chapter 937: That’s So Sweet



As the workday drew to a close, Harry found himself counting down the minutes until he could see Jade again.

He had spent the entire day thinking about their evening together, and he couldn't wait to finally have her back at his place.

The moment it was the closing hour, Harry quickly wrapped up for the day and headed out of his office.

He had been eagerly looking forward to this moment all day, and now that the workday was finally over, he could hardly contain his excitement.

The office bustled with the usual end-of-day hustle as Harry walked briskly toward Jade's office, his heart beating a little faster with anticipation.

He finally arrived at Jade's office and knocked lightly before stepping inside. Jade looked up from her desk, her face lighting up with a smile when she saw him.

"Hello, goddess. Done for the day?" He asked, and her smile widened as Harry grinned and crossed the room to her.

"Hey there, handsome," she greeted, her eyes sparkling with amusement at his obvious excitement.

"Ready to go home?" he asked with a grin, his tone light but with a hint of eagerness that made her chuckle.

"Home, huh? Someone is really eager," Jade teased, standing up and gathering her things.

"You have no idea. It's been way too long since you've graced my apartment with your beautiful presence and I've really missed having you over," Harry said as he watched her pick up her blazer before looking up at him.

Jade smiled, feeling a warm flush of happiness at his words. "Well, I missed being there too," she admitted as she slipped her blazer on, smoothing it down.

"Let's get going then before you change your mind," Harry said and Jade laughed, shaking her head.

"Alright, boyfriend. Let's go." She grabbed her purse, and he wrapped an arm around her waist as they walked out of her office.

Jade exchanged smiles with her few remaining colleagues who waved her goodbye.

As they exited the building, Harry led Jade to his car, opening the door for her with a flourish. "Your chariot awaits, my lady," he said with a playful bow.

Jade rolled her eyes but couldn't hide her grin. "Thank you, kind sir," she said with a mock curtsy as she slid into the seat, and watched him as he rounded the car to get in.

As Harry started the car, Jade turned to him, "So, what's up with Mia?" She asked and Harry glanced at her.

"You didn't ask Tom or Lucy like you said you would?" He asked and she shook her head.

"Nah. I was waiting to hear it from you," she said and Harry grinned and went on to tell her all about it.

"I'm glad that's out of the way now. But most especially I'm glad that you didn't commit any crime and your involvement in all of this is not known," she said after Harry was done and he nodded in agreement.

When they arrived at his apartment, Harry unlocked the door and pushed it open, stepping aside to let Jade enter first.

She stepped inside and immediately giggled when she saw the flower petals that formed a path on the floor.

"What's all this?" she asked, turning to look at Harry with a playful grin.

Harry's eyes twinkled with mischief. "It's your welcome home," he said, stepping closer and taking her hand. "It's been a while since you last came here, and I wanted it to be special." Jade's smile widened as she looked down at the petals, feeling a surge of warmth at his sweetness. "When did you have the time to do this?" she asked, genuinely impressed.

"I woke up early this morning and did it before leaving for work," Harry replied, his voice filled with pride when he saw the way her eyes were gleaming with happiness.

Jade leaned in and kissed him, her heart swelling with affection. "Thanks. I love it, and I'm impressed," she said, pulling back slightly.

"Just out of curiosity, and not to sound unromantic or ungrateful, who's going to clean up all these flowers?" she asked as they walked further into the house and Harry laughed, shaking his head.

"You know when I was doing this, I pictured you asking me this, and you didn't disappoint me," he said, still chuckling. "Don't worry, my cleaner will come in tomorrow morning to take care of it."

Jade grinned, "Good then," she said as they walked into the bedroom and she stopped short when she saw the heart-shaped floral design on the bed.

"You're something else, you know that?" She said, her voice soft.

Harry smiled and kissed her forehead. "I just want everything to be perfect for you and to show you how happy I am that you're here again," he said earnestly.

Jade's heart melted at his words. "Well, easy else you might make me want to take a long time off again so you do all of this again," she joked and Harry chuckled.

"So, what's the plan for the evening? And what's for dinner?" she asked, changing the subject with a light tone.

"I ordered takeout from your favorite restaurant," Harry said, leading her further into the bedroom. "I thought we could freshen up and then watch a movie while we eat."

Jade beamed at the suggestion. "That sounds like a perfect plan," she agreed.

Together, they headed to the bathroom to freshen up. The bathroom was exactly as Jade remembered it, cozy and inviting.

She felt a sense of nostalgia wash over her as she changed into more comfortable clothes while Harry went out to receive the food from the delivery guy.

When they were both ready, Harry led her back to the living room where the food had already been neatly arranged on the floor and a blanket laid on the floor for them.

They settled onto the blanket, plates in hand, and Harry picked out a Romcom for them to watch.

As they ate and watched the movie, they shared quiet moments of laughter and conversation. Jade found herself feeling completely at ease, the warmth of Harry's presence making her feel more at home than ever.

After the movie ended, they sat together in comfortable silence, the soft glow of the television casting a warm light over the room.

Jade looked over at Harry, her heart swelling with gratitude and love. "Thank you for tonight," she said softly, her hand finding his.

Harry raised her hand to his lips. "When I came back home after the vacation and you were not with me, it was tough. I've always known I loved you, but I never knew how much your presence in my life and my space meant to me. I don't ever want to lose that, Jade. I never really understood what it meant when people said home was a person and not a place. But in these last weeks, I've come to realize that when I'm with you, I feel at home. It could be at the office, your apartment, or mine, but as long as you're right there with me, I am at home. So, I didn't want you here just because here is my home. I wanted your scent all over and trails of you that will be with me here on the days you spend at your own place," he said, his voice filled with sincerity.

"I love you," Jade said as she leaned in and kissed him, feeling the connection between them

deepen.

As they pulled apart, she rested her head on his shoulder, feeling a sense of contentment wash over her. Jade knew without a doubt that this was where she belonged. Right beside Harry.

Away from there, Tom and Lucy sat in their bedroom arranging their bag for the trip, and as they did that, Tom looked at Lucy with interest.

"You still haven't heard back from Kimberly, have you?" He asked and she shook her head.

"Nope. I've given up," she said with a shrug.

"You no longer worry about Dawn?" Tom asked, and Lucy smiled.

"I know she's with her mom now, so I don't have any reason to worry. Besides, the last time I spoke with Jamal, he told me he still talks to her and she is fine," Lucy said and Tom nodded.

"That's fine then," he said and she raised a brow.

"Why did you ask?"

"It's been a while since you last talked about her, so I was just curious," he explained and

Lucy nodded.

Before either of them could say anything else, Lucy's phone rang, and she smiled when she

picked up her phone and saw it was Lucas.

"It's Lucas," she told Tom and walked out to the balcony before receiving the call.

"Hey, Luke!" Lucy greeted pleasantly, wondering if he was going to tell her about the

development between him and Amy now.

"Hey! How are you doing?" Lucas asked, thinking of the best way to talk to Lucy about Amy since Amy had told him about the conversation she had with Lucy on Monday.

"I'm okay. You? How are you?" Lucy asked curiously.

"I'm very fine. And Tom? How is he doing?" Lucas asked with interest.

"He's fine. How's your training going? And how's Tyler?" Lucy asked curiously.

"Tyler is okay, and my training is going smoothly. Uhm, Amy told me she talked to you about

us," Lucas blurted out and Lucy grinned.

"Us? What do you mean us?" she asked, feigning ignorance.

"Don't do that or I'm going to hang up," Lucas warned, sensing that she was about to gloat.

Lucy giggled. "Alright. Okay. I'm sorry. Yes, she told me something interesting was going on

between you two. Are you happy?" she asked, seriously.

"Yeah. I'm very happy," Lucas admitted.

"Good. That's good."

"Do you like her?" Lucas asked and Lucy rolled her eyes.

"Why are you asking me that when you're both dating already?" she asked dryly.

"We are not dating yet. We agreed not to do so yet. We are still getting to know each other so

we can better understand our feelings," Lucas explained.

"So? Do you like her? Do you approve of me dating her?"

"Do you even have to ask that? You know that I love Amy. Amy is a wonderful person, and I'm really happy that you both make each other happy," Lucy said and Lucas smiled. After the issue with Rachel, he had made up his mind that if ever he got involved with anyone,

the person must get along with Lucy, and Lucy had to like the person and approve of her else

he was not going to get involved.

"So you won't mind if I tell you I'm going to accept Tom's offer and come work at the company hospital and live in Ludus?" Lucas asked, and Lucy grinned.

"You know I would be happy to have you here and close to me," Lucy said happily.

"I'd be happier to be close to the nieces and nephews you're going to give me," Lucas said and

Lucy giggled.

"Slow down, will you? Don't put the cart before the horse," Lucy said, laughing softly.

"So, uhm, I need your help," Lucas said and Lucy raised a brow.

"With what?"

"I want to have flowers and stuff delivered to Amy tomorrow. Can you help me pull that off?"

Lucas asked and Lucy grinned.

"Aww. That's so sweet," she said and Lucas smiled.

"Well, I'd like to court her properly even if I'm not there. She said she has never had a

boyfriend, and so I want to make this special so she doesn't miss out on anything," Lucas said and Lucy's smile widened until her cheeks hurt.

"I'll definitely help you pull it off. Would you like to include a handwritten note? You could

tell me what you want on it and I'd pen it down," Lucy suggested.

"I'll like that. I'll text you all I want, then you'll have it delivered to her by her lunch break,

okay?" Lucas said and Lucy nodded even though he couldn't see her.

"Sure."

"Thanks. And let Tom know I would call him and officially submit my details to him so it would be official. I love you. Sleep well when you do," Lucas said before hanging up.
