to sweet-talk me, Jace. I'm already yours.”
    “I know, but I don't want you to ever doubt my feelings for you, so I am going to sweet-talk and spoil you any chance I get,” he responded.
    I smiled, “I like the sound of that.” I had never been spoiled by any previous boyfriends, so this was all new to me. All of the guys I dated were self-centered, only doing things that benefited them. Dad always told me that I deserved to be treated like a princess by any man that I dated, and it seemed that Jace was planning to do just that. The waitress came up to take our order, and I ordered my usual—two slices of sausage, jalapeno, and pineapple pizza. Jace ordered three slices of pepperoni. When the waitress left, he gave me a curious look and said, “Sausage, jalapeno, and pineapple on a pizza? That's an odd combination.”
    “What can I say, I'm unique,” I joked.
    “That you are, mi amante,” he chuckled in response. “Any more questions?”
    “Um... yes. What do you like to do in your spare time?”
    “Well, I go to the gym and train most of the time, so I don't really have time for much else. What about you?”
    “Well, I love to read—I'm a big nerd. Sometimes I can read two to three books in a day,” I replied.
    “Smart and beautiful—I hit the jackpot!” he exclaimed.
    “I don't know about that—I think I'm the lucky one having a hot, famous UFC fighter as my soul mate,” I interjected.
    “Yeah, I am pretty great,” he cockily joked. Our food arrived then, and we ate, joking and laughing like we had been together for years, which we had, in a sense. I still didn't understand how we felt so strongly for each other, even with our bond, but I didn't see the point in questioning it—I couldn't fight Fate, and I didn't want to. I had wished for Jace for so long, hoping he was real, and now that he was with me, I didn't plan to take a single day for granted. I was blessed to have the promise of love for all my life, and I wasn't going to sit around questioning it when I could feel it so strongly. Losing my mother had taught me not to take a single gift for granted, and Jace was definitely a gift.
    After we paid our bill, Jace took my hand and led me out of the bistro and towards the realtor's office, and excitement coursed through me. Jace, noticing my excitement, said, “I can't wait for you to see some of the places I picked out—I hope you like them.”
    I was certain that anywhere with him would be absolutely perfect.

 
     
     
    I loved seeing the look of joy on Brielle's face, especially when I was the cause. I was still in shock that she wanted to live with me, and I was waiting to wake up from this dream that now seemed to be my life. I was going to take advantage of every moment I had with Brie, and this condo was a step in that direction.
    I led Brielle into the realtor's office, which was decorated much like you would expect a beach house to be decorated. There were paintings of lighthouses, waves, and sailboats adorned on the walls, and a lighthouse lamp stood on an end table in between two sand-colored sofas. The receptionist looked up from her computer, smiling as she greeted us, “How may I help you?”
    “Hi, I'm Jace Vasquez, and I have an appointment with Kelly at two o'clock,” I answered.
    “I'll let her know you're here. Please have a seat,” she said, directing us to the sofas.
    As we sat down, I draped my arm across Brielle's shoulders, caressing the arm opposite me. I would never get tired of the tingle that occurred every time we touched. She placed her hand on my thigh, lightly grazing it with her fingertips. Oh, the things I wanted to do to her when we had some privacy—I was hoping the condo would give us just that. She caught my smirk, and asked, “What are you thinking?”
    I winked at her, chuckling, “You don't want to know what I'm thinking.”
    She flushed, “I think I do.” She looked up at me, biting her bottom lip seductively, causing me to get slightly
