Jonathan sighs but smiles. “Okay, I’ll bite. What’s my second present?
I pull my props from the drawer, and round the counter to his side. Handing him the two pieces of paper, I point to the first. “You sign this one, and I’ll sign mine.”
His eyebrows furrow. “This is a letter of resignation,” Jonathan states after quickly scanning it. “Why exactly am I quitting?”
“Because, I’ll sign this if you do,” I reiterate, touching the second piece of paper.
His eyes flick to it, and he begins to read. His whole body stills for a moment, and then his widened eyes are on my smiling face.
“Holy shit,” he exclaims. “Holy fucking shit, Liam! This is… you got a contract!?”
“One that I won’t sign unless you’re coming with me, babe. The contract doesn’t matter if you’ll be here and I’ll be there.”
“Jesus Christ, punk,” he says, shaking his head. “This is a Major League contract.Millionsof dollars! Acareer! Are you out of your mind? Sign it right now!”
“I’ll sign mine if you sign yours,” I repeat. “I’m serious. I’m not stepping foot in Boston if you aren’t going there with me. I told you we were it, and I meant it.”
His eyes soften. “Liam—”
“Sign it,” I tell him. “Come with me.”
“You’re out of your mind,” he says, and my heart nearly sinks. Until his fingers brush mine, taking a pen. He signs, dates, and initials the bottom of the official notice of resignation. I’m kissing him, tossing the contract aside before he can demand I sign it. I need his lips first.
I guess this just goes to show, Liam Hawkins always gets what he wants.
