Chapter 12

Jax

Jax had told him that the next move was his,

so now he’d have to be tough enough to wait.

“Good morning, Dr. Knox. Mary Morgan here. We spoke briefly about your housing needs two weeks ago. You left a message yesterday that you were ready to come up to look at some prospects.”

“Yes, good morning, Ms. Morgan. Thanks for returning my call.”

“I’ve lined up three homes for you to visit, but you should know that one of them is a townhouse condominium unit. I know that that’s not your first choice, but it is close to the campus and is below your price point. Also, one of them is a rent-to-own property. I thought you might be interested in that one since it sits on a lake and your closest neighbor is a quarter mile away on your left. You’d have no neighbors on your right, though there is construction happening the same distance to the right.”

Jax appreciated the agent’s attention to his needs, so even though he was almost certain he wasn’t going to choose the condominium, he decided he’d give it a fair shake.

“I’d like to see the condominium first and the rent-to-own property last, if that’s convenient.”

“Certainly. I can make those arrangements immediately. I’ll call you back to let you know the date and time to meet me. We’ll meet at the first site. I’ll send you directions to that. I’ll speak with you soon, Dr. Knox.”

After she rang off, Jax sat back in the chair at the desk he was seated at and stared out the window at the boys, who were playing stickball in the backyard with their friends. Jim’s lot was larger than most of the others on the street, and because it was also a corner lot, it had that extra give, so he often hosted some of the younger neighborhood boys on lazy summer days like this one.

Annie was doing a lot of going back and forth from her bedroom to the nursery. Jim said she was nesting, which made her sound like a bird to Jax, but he didn’t comment. Jim had gone into the office today to get some much-needed paperwork done that could only be handled in person. He said he’d be late, which was fine with Jax. Anything to stop him from obsessing over that kiss that he’d planted on Noah three nights before was more than welcome.

What the hell had possessed him to do a thing like that? He wasn’t a green boy; he was a grown-assed man in full control of his impulses. Except for that night apparently. And then to run away like a coward … pitiful! He wouldn’t be at all surprised if Noah never spoke to him again, even if his response had had Jax shaking in his running shoes and hardening painfully in his sweatpants. Just because Noah seemed to enjoy the kiss didn’t mean that Jax should have crossed that line.

Sighing, he moved on to the next item on his To Do list … responding to the head of the music department regarding his proposed schedule.
