“Holy shit.” I stare in disbelief, re-reading again just in case my eyes were wrong. “Holy shit. I passed.”
“Hell yeah, you did! You more than passed! You killed it.”
Rolling us over in the bed, I kiss her hard, excitement coursing through both of us. But we’re interrupted by my phone ringing.
“I have to go to work,” I whisper.
“Celebrate tonight?” She loops her legs around my waist, holding me close to her.
“Absolutely.” Kissing her forehead, I roll off the side of the bed and call Chief back while I get dressed.
Her eyes are on me the whole time, and it has me ready to call out to celebrate with her all day.
“Keaton.” Chief’s voice comes through the line, and he’s not impressed that I’ve stopped paying attention.
Shaking my head, I look away from Sophia. “Sorry. I’ll be there in a few. Just making coffee then I’ll be there.”
“Coffee my ass. You have ten minutes,” he mutters before hanging up.
Sauntering over to Sophia, I drop a kiss on her lips. “Don’t move all day. I’ll be back, and I want you right here.”
“You’re cute. Like I’m not going to plan something to celebrate you.” She laughs.
“I just need you.” Kissing her once more, I leave.
I skip the coffee I told Chief I was making so I can actually make it to work. The only thing pulling me out of the house is being able to tell Chief I passed the test.
Me:Ladies, I need to plan something tonight. Can everyone make it to Rebels tonight?
Emma:Yes! What is the occasion? What are we doing?
Evelyn:I love girl’s nights!
Me:Nope, all the guys too. Everyone. And I need a cake.
Violet:I can do cake. Come by the inn. Everyone is here.
Anna:I take offense to that. I’m not there.
Emma:You better get here.
Aubrey:Oh can I add Willow? They got in last night right?
Me:I’ve not met her yet. But yes, add her!
Aubrey:On it.
Willow:I’m here! I’ll be at the inn too! Can’t wait to meet you, Sophia. I’ve heard a lot.
