14. Secrets

Jimmy wasn’t surprised that Jenna wanted to keep their marriage a secret. However, it was so hard to stay silent about it. He wanted to share with everyone why he glowed with happiness, why he was the luckiest man alive, why getting shipped from Terra to Zenith was the greatest thing that ever happened to him.

He still hadn’t even met Jenna’s father. He wondered if Jenna’s mother would approve, but she’d seemed to like him well enough in Symphoria. Plenty of time for that in the future, though. Jenna wanted to take a trip out to Dos Cientos as soon as the West project was finished and then officially tell her parents the news. A trip to Terra to meet his own family could follow as soon as Jenna could take enough time off work. If she could manage to take time off work. If Jimmy could manage to leave Jax.

Maybe the trip to Terra would have to wait a little while longer. He held her hand as she dozed on his shoulder the whole shuttle trip from Dos Cientos back to Omphalos and tried to plan out a future after the West project. He grimaced at the thought of asking his father for a real job to do, but he could hardly just play around all day in the QE. It was time to grow up. He made silent promises to himself and to her that he would become the kind of husband she deserved.

Back in Omphalos they finally confronted the cold hard fact that if they were going to keep their marriage secret, they were going to have to separate. Jimmy helped her lug her bag into her apartment in Quintan Tower, and they both stood in the entryway looking at each other helplessly. Jimmy ached for her already. Their one night together in Symphoria had been nothing short of magical, and he didn’t want to give that up already. But if they moved in together, that would kind of defeat the purpose of keeping Carter and Quintan both in the dark.

Luckily, Zane was still in Marah. Jimmy didn’t think he could stand to watch Zane try to regain Jenna’s affection. He felt a twinge of guilt. Zane was his friend, and it was kind of despicable to cut him out like this without even letting him know. But as he stared into Jenna’s eyes, he didn’t care. All that mattered was that Jenna was his for the rest of their lives.

“What are you thinking about?” Jenna asked shyly, taking both his hands.

“I’m thinking that you are the most beautiful woman I have ever known,” Jimmy answered quietly, leaning forward and kissing her gently on the lips.

“You’re just saying that because you’re stuck with me now,” Jenna rebutted playfully.

“Yep,” agreed Jimmy. Then he abandoned talking altogether and kissed her more enthusiastically. She responded eagerly, and some time later he surfaced back to reality as they lay on the couch together, her head resting on his bare chest as he played with her golden hair.
