Page 82 of Make Me Swoon

“What if you break up or get into a fight?” she whispers and my heart breaks.

“Then we’ll work it out. I love Phoenix, Faith. I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure that she stays with us.”

My heart feels like it’s lodged in my throat. Did he really just say that he’s in love with me?

I step out from behind the corner and they both turn to look up at me.

“I love you too. Both of you,” I say.

Faith is the first to react and she runs over to me, wrapping her arms around my waist.

“So, you’re staying. You’re never going to leave ever?”

“Yeah,” I choke out, tears spilling over onto my cheeks. “I’m not going anywhere.”

I hold her to me tighter and look up as Jameson heads our way.

“You love me?” he asks me, a hopeful look in his eyes.

“Of course, I do,” I say on a laugh. “I’ve been trying not to just blurt it out over the last two weeks because I didn’t want to distract you from your training. I know how much tonight means to you.”

“You mean more. Both of you,” he says as he wraps his arm around Faith and me.

Faith hugs both of us back and I bury my face in Jameson’s chest.

“I love you,” Jameson whispers in my ear. “I was going to tell you after the fight. I just wanted Faith to know before we went public.”

“Is this how you imagined her finding out?” I ask him and he laughs.

“Not at all, but I can’t say that I regret it. Not when I have everything that I wanted.”

He takes my hand and I grab Faith as we make our way back to the locker room. Kit meets us halfway there, looking relieved to have found Jameson.

“Fight starts in five,” Kit says and Jameson nods.

“I’ll go get ready.”

“I’ll show you two to your seats,” Kit says to Faith and me, and I turn to Jameson.

“Good luck,” I whisper and he grins down at me.

“Thanks, baby.”

I kiss him once for luck and then Faith and I are heading toward our seats.

THIRTEEN

Jameson

The ref holdsmy hand over my head and I grin down at Faith and Phoenix as they both cheer for me. I just won my fight and while I’m excited to have the chance to get bigger fights and more money, I already felt like I won before the fight even started.

Phoenix loves me and Faith knows about us and is happy about it. What more could I want?

I can’t wait to change and go home with them, but first I need to shake a few hands. I know that Kit has lined up a few agents to talk to me after the fight and I need to meet with them before I can go home.

The seats start to empty as everyone gets ready to head home and I climb down, meeting Kit, Niall, and Finn over in my corner. I know that Sylvie and Everly will be able to show Phoenix and Faith how to get back to the locker room.

“Mr. O’Callaghan?” a guy in a suit says as he approaches me. “Congratulations.”
