I can't handle these two. What have I done? I need more of them like I need my last breath. lol

-Harlow-

"Gosh, mom, he's just so cute."

We're on our way to dad's office. Mom let me miss school today to go with her and Maddox to his kindergarten registration. Someone had to hold mom together when she lost it.

"I got an extra donut for him."

He loves donuts.

Glazed.

I'm glad Maddox is picky and only wanted glazed.

"He's really not that much older than me."

I am so obsessed with Jasper, and honestly, I think he's obsessed with me, too.

He's my heart's desire.

My kindred spirt.

My one true love.

I know it.

He knows it.

Just watch and see.

"I think he likes me."

"You are going to give your dad a heart attack." Mom finally responds as she pulls into Masen Contracting, making me giggle. I laugh harder when mom starts to laugh and then Maddox joins in.

I hope dad's heart is very healthy.

"You grab the donuts, mom. I'll help Mad."

I jump from the car and grab my cute brother, my heart racing so hard and fast, I feel like it's going to come up my throat. I don't get to see Jasper very often, and I'm so freaking excited.

Maddox drags his bag with us, and as we wait at the door for mom, he says, "I want to wear it."

"Okay, turn around." I put the oversized bag on his back and hold him steady when he starts to sway.

"I want a donut, mommy." Maddox holds his hands out always impatient for the goodies.

"Let's get inside and share with daddy first."

Jasper is standing at the counter when we walk inside the lobby and in the words of Uncle Jesse have mercy.

I cannot stand how beautiful he is.

Our babies will be gorgeous.

"Hi, Jasper," I say, kind of blushing, kind of staring at him like he's my own personal glazed donut. I love his face. "We got donuts."

He grins, and I feel like it's a secret grin between secret friends, and my heart loves the smile just for her. I grab the donuts from mom, widening my eyes like get lost, mommy, but she doesn't listen.

"Maddox picked all glazed but you can have one, Jasper," I say, walking toward the counter; toward the love of my life.

I really really believe he is.

Sometimes you just know.

Jasper grabs a donut, and I watch his hand the entire time until he pulls back. "Thanks, girl." I look up at him, and he winks.

Am I dreaming?

Is he an apparition?

"Breathe, B.," he whispers softly, and I blink and smile so big my face hurts.

I love you.

Do I?

What even is love?

"Hey Jasper," mom calls from behind me.

Go away, mom. I want to be alone with my groom to be.

Jasper has to literally tear his eyes off me. I can tell it's hard. "Mrs. Masen. How are you?"

"Good, thank you." He smiles, and I feel like my entire world is tilting.

"Mooooooommmmmmmmmmy," Maddox yells from dad's office. "We want donuts."

I squeeze the box in my hands, not wanting to leave. "Bye, Jasper," I say, regretfully.

He grins again and says quietly for my ears only. "I'll be seeing you, girl."

Oh my gosh and holy crap.

…

…

-Jasper-

Low grabs her mom and leaves me all alone with my glazed donut.

Every time I fucking see her, she's more beautiful than the last.

I don't want to be up here eating this fucking donut. I want Low to come back and share it with me. I want to hear her soft voice and feel her big brown eyes on me.

I want to use my fucking lips to feel the softness of hers, and I bet my fucking ass, they're really fucking soft.

She drives me crazy.

She makes me want to just say fuck it and march back there and pull her into my arms.

Fuck, I want to feel her in my arms.

She's sweet and so damn sexy.

I shove the donut in my mouth and move around the counter to my desk and grab my phone.

jasper.h: thanks for the donut, beautiful girl.

She replies immediately, and fuck me, I need to see my girl alone.

low.m: you're welcome. you're the beautiful one.

Yeah, my girl.

My fucking girl.
