CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Jackson

“So, we’ll need to set up the table for gifts and the flower wall over here.” Katie points out a section of the back wall.

“Flower wall?” I raise my brows at her in question.

“Don’t even ask,” she warns.

I laugh but don’t ask anything more. I don’t have a clue what a fucking flower wall is going to involve, but I’m way out of my depth here.

One thing I do know, is that Katie has the patience of a saint. I don’t know what keeps the woman going amongst all this madness. Nothing seems to rattle her past the point of what she can handle.

She knows exactly who she is and what she’s capable of and it’s an incredible thing to watch. She’s not afraid to say what she thinks or do what she wants, and I envy that about her.

I can barely admit things even to myself.

The way I feel for Katie for example… Something has changed between us since that day at the beach. I’m feeling things I’m not ready to feel.

I still feel so messed up over everything that happened with Lizzie, I can’t possibly consider starting something new.

Katie is nothing like Lizzie, but this isn’t so much about her as it is about me.

I’m the one with the crutch here, and the last thing I want to do is hurt her, or even worse — lose her.

I felt it that day I kissed her at the beach too — what was at stake — it all flashed before my eyes, exactly what it was I had to lose.

I don’t know how I ever thought we could be fuck buddies. It would never work, she’s too utterly intoxicating. Once or twice with her would never be enough.

I want to know everything about her, but even with that desire burning bright inside of me, I know I’ll never succeed, she’s too complex of a creature — she’s always changing and evolving. She’s always learning and growing.

She’s nothing short of inspiring.

Nothing in my life might be progressing right now — my business has reached its peak, my relationship has failed, yet I’ve never felt less static in my whole life. Katie’s taking me along for her ride and I can’t do anything but hold on and try to grow with her.

“And over there will be the lanterns with the string lights.”

“Of course,” I reply as I’m pulled from my inner thoughts. “It wouldn’t be a wedding without string lights and lanterns.”

She ignores my sarcasm and carries on circling the room with her enormous planner in her hands.

“So, the guests will be invited up here right after the ceremony on the pier, and we’ll serve drinks and canapés right away.”

I nod.

“Are you writing this down?”

“Drinks. Food. I got it. I think we can manage. But just back it up a few steps, they’re getting married on the pier?”

She nods her head and rolls her eyes.

“Do I even want to know how they got approval for that?”

I’ve owned this business for years, and I’ve never seen a wedding on the pier before.
