“You know how I feel about that. Hoping one day I’ll be on your program.”
“One day, my brother. One day.”
“It can’t come soon enough. Okay, enough whining from me. What’s up?”
“Well, I’ve got some very, very good news.”
“I’m all ears.”
“The wifey invited a friend over for dinner last night. They had a few glasses of wine and she admitted she’s got a little problem. I told her I knew someone who could help her out.”
“Good looking out. Did you give her my number?”
“Mason. This girl is old fashioned. I told her I’d give her your number and you’d call her.”
“You’re my agent now?” I smiled.
“Damn straight. And I take fifteen percent off the top!”
Crazy guy always made laugh. Son-of-a-gun would be cracking jokes in the middle of a firefight in Fallujah. Probably the only way we all stayed sane.
“Ten percent, tops!”
“Fifteen, and you’re lucky it’s only that. Mason, when you see this girl you’re going to be paying me.”
“Really?”
“You know I love my wife with all my heart and I only have eyes for her, but if I were you I’d be pretty excited to meet this girl.”
“I thought only woman played that matchmaking game.”
“Listen up. You do not want this one to get away. She’s the total package.”
“She comes with four sons? Sorry, a fireteam?”
“That’s up to you.”
I could still hear his boys playing in the background.
“Okay, text it over. I’ll give her a shout.”
“Roger that. Jaxon…out.”
I slung my shirt on up over my head and walked home. I’d earned the big breakfast I was about to have. I always thought about it on the walk home after my workout.
But not today. Jaxon really had the prefect life. I was beyond happy for him, but I have to admit I was a little jealous too. Okay, a lot jealous.
How in the world he’d gotten so lucky to find Emily I’ll never know. She just walked right into his life. Drug him out of a firefight in Afghanistan and bandaged him up. Literally saved his life. She was one of those crazy medics we take with us that don’t even carry weapons. But she carried the strongest weapon of them all. A bow and arrow, which she lined up just like Cupid and sent that arrow straight through his heart.
Some guys have all the luck.
