One Wild Night

Chapter 778  Andy’s Place

The moment Harry opened the door of his apartment and walked in, Jade who had been standing behind the door, jumped on him, and Harry chuckled as he let his briefcase fall to the floor so he could hold her.

Jade covered his lips with hers in a heated kiss, and Harry passionately returned it as he carried her to the couch.

"Welcome home. I missed you," Jade said as Harry sat down still carrying her in such a way that she was straddling him.

Ever since their first sex together, they had been unable to keep their hands off from each other whenever they were alone in the house.

And because Harry had said Jade could only spend a week with him, she had been spending every weekend with him ever since they returned from Sogal, while shuttling between Tom's and Bryan's place during the week.

"I missed you too. You know we don't have much time left before I go pick them up from the airport," Harry said and Jade nodded.

"Yeah. I will come with you to the airport. I can't wait for the wedding to come and go so we can leave for our vacation. I want to be alone with you all day long and all night," Jade said and Harry smiled.

"Yeah. Me too," he said, looking forward to proposing to her and making her fully his.

He was tired of having her go and come. He wanted her to stay with him and not have to leave at all.

"So, what have you been doing all morning?" Harry asked and she pointed to a jotter and pen.

"I was making a list of all I would need to get to travel for our vacation. How was work? And how were you able to leave by this time?" She asked curiously.

"I pushed all my work to Tom," he said and Jade grinned.

"I like that. That's good. Very good," she said with approval.

"So, what do you want us to do before we leave to pick them up?" Harry asked and Jade smiled.

"Let's get you out of these stiff office clothes, and then we can go out to do something fun. I would like us to go shopping later. I want to pick out an outfit for tomorrow's bachelorette party, and sandals for the wedding," Jade said and Harry nodded.

"Alright. Let's do that then," he said and raised a brow when Jade did not make any attempt to get off him.

"I can't get out of my stiff work clothes if you remain in this position," he pointed out.

"Carry me to the room, and after you place me on the bed I will help you get out of your clothes," she said, batting her lashes at him and Harry chuckled as he did as she requested.

Once he carried her into the bedroom, she got on her feet and helped him take off his office clothes, "Would you like a cold shower?" She asked and shook his head.

"No. If we do that, I would want to do other things and we won't leave in time to pick them up from the airport," Harry said and Jade nodded.

"You are right. And I don't want things to be rushed. I know how much you love to take your time," she said with a playful smile and Harry laughed.

"Yeah," Harry said as they both walked into the closet to find something to wear.

Once they had settled for casual outfits, they left the house and an hour later, they arrived at the airport in time to receive Candace and Andy.

"HARRY! JADE!" Andy called out excitedly when she saw them, and they both grinned while Candace rolled her eyes.

"Andy is quite expressive," Jade said with a wide smile as Andy ran over to embrace them.

"We weren't expecting you to come get us. Thanks. I missed you both," Andy said after she had embraced them.

"I missed you too. How are you?" Harry asked as Candace joined them.

"You were missing us too much and couldn't wait for us to come so you had to wait here for us?" Candace asked and this time both Andy and Jade rolled their eyes.contemporary romance

"You know you won't die if you admit that you missed him, right?" Andy asked since she knew very well that Candace had missed Harry.

"Says who? I could die of embarrassment if those words proceed from my lips," Candace said, and Harry chuckled as he pulled Candace in for a hug.

"Maybe I missed you a little bit. Or maybe what I missed was having someone around to banter with," Candace said as she embraced him back.

"I don't care what you miss. I missed you," Harry said and she raised a brow as she looked up at him.

"Really? You admit it?" She asked and he nodded.

"Alright. I guess I missed you too," she said with a grin and they all laughed.

Andy had been so excited about coming to Ludus because she couldn't wait to meet the rest of their now-large family.

Aaron had made good his words, and just the previous day, their name change had been approved and now both she and Candace were legally members of the Jonas family.

"So, how was your flight?" Jade asked them as Harry took their luggage and led them out of the airport to the place where he had parked the car.

"I'm not going to stay at your place. I am spending tonight with Matt. So, I'm just going to go there with you now and leave for Matt's later," Candace informed Harry while Andy chatted with Jade.

"What about Andy? Is she going there with you?" Harry asked curiously.

"She said she wants to stay at her big brother's place and leave me alone with my boo," Candace said and Harry nodded.

"You seem to have become very comfortable with the idea of having a boyfriend. You no longer look embarrassed," he said and she shrugged.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? When are we having the interview? And when are we going to see your mother?" Candace asked as they got to the car.

"We will have the interview on Monday and go see her afterward," Harry said as he unlocked the car and placed their luggage in the trunk.

Once they were all seated comfortably in the car, with Jade seated in front with Harry, he drove out of the airport and as he drove, the ladies talked about the plan for Sonia's bachelorette party.

After driving for forty minutes, Candace turned to Harry when it suddenly occurred to her that Harry wasn't driving in the direction of his home.

"Where are we going?" Candace asked, and Jade who had turned in her seat so she could talk with the sisters turned around to see that Harry was on a different route from his place.

"I need to make a quick stop somewhere," He said simply, and Jade raised a brow.

"Where? You didn't tell me we were going anywhere," Jade said and Harry nodded.

"We will be there soon," He said, and they resumed their conversation even though they were curious to know where he was taking them.

A couple of minutes later, Candace looked out the window again and noted that they were somewhere not too far away from Matt's place.

Harry stopped by the security post of an estate and reached into the pigeonhole compartment of his car for a card to show them.

Once he had done that, they opened the gates and let him drive in. The car glided through the gated entrance of the exclusive estate. Tall, manicured hedges lined the cobblestone drive, guiding the car toward Harry's destination.

The estate exuded an air of opulence, with grandeur evident in every detail.

Harry parked the car in front of a sophisticated structure. The building, a modern masterpiece, rose from the ground with a seamless blend of glass and steel.

Harry took an envelope from his pigeonhole compartment before getting out of the car, and the others did the same.

"Harry, where is this place?" Jade asked curiously while Candace and Andy looked around them with interest as they got out of the car.

"It is Andy's place," Harry said and Andy who had been looking around spun around to look at him.

"Andy? Which Andy?" She asked in confusion and Harry chuckled.

"You, of course. The house and that car belongs to you," Harry said pointing to the curb.

Parked at the curb was a dazzling sports car – sleek, black, and glistening in the sunlight.

"Me? How?" Andy asked again in disbelief and confusion.

"Cassidy got them for you," Harry explained, and Andy gasped and raised both hands to cover her mouth as tears sprang to her eyes.

Cassidy bought her a car and a house. Why did he do that after giving her so much money?

"Aww," Jade said softly, while Candace laughed happily at Andy's reaction.

Harry went to her and wrapped both arms around her, "Don't cry," Harry said and pulled away to brush off the tears that had dropped from her eyes.

"Is this really mine?" She asked and Harry nodded as he handed her the envelope he had taken out of his car.

"I didn't want to tell you about it in Sogal 'cause I wanted you to see for yourself. He chose this place himself. He wanted this neighborhood for you to be safe," Harry explained as she took the envelope from him.

"Don't just stand there and cry. Come show us around your house," Candace urged her.

"Our house," Andy said and Candace smiled.

"Yeah. Whatever. Let's look around," Candace said happily and Andy bobbed her head as she ran ahead of them to the door and Candace ran after her.

"Use one of the cards in the envelope to unlock the door," Harry called after them in amusement as he watched their childlike excitement.

"Why didn't you tell me about it?" Jade asked as she walked beside Harry.

"Because it's a surprise," Harry said and she sighed.

"It's not like I'm asking for too much. Are you going to keep secrets from me when we are married?" She asked and Harry's brows pulled together as though he was considering it.

"I can't believe you are thinking about it," she hissed and he chuckled.

"I won't keep important secrets from you," Harry assured her.

"Important secrets?"

"Yeah. You know me. Let's not argue about this. And you shouldn't make this about yourself. It has nothing to do with you," Harry said and Jade opened her mouth to argue further but shut it.

He had a point. Andy who was concerned wasn't bugging him about why he kept it from her this whole time, and even Candace wasn't upset. It had little or nothing to do with her.

"Whatever," she hissed and walked ahead of him to go join Andy and Candace, and Harry chuckled, knowing she had left that way because she knew he was right.

The door swung open to reveal a tastefully decorated living space, and the scent of fresh flowers and polished wood filled the air.

Expansive windows framed a skyline that seemed almost within arm's reach. Plush furnishings adorned the open-concept interior, and the walls boasted an array of artwork. A state-of-the-art kitchen beckoned, complete with gleaming appliances and marble countertops.

As they looked around the house, they got to the master bedroom, where a king-sized bed took center stage beneath a stunning chandelier. The ensuite bathroom featured a spa-like atmosphere, complete with a deep soaking tub and a glass-enclosed shower.

It was clear to the ladies that Cassidy had spared no expense in his attempt to make it up to Andy.

"Congrats, Andy. You're now a house and now a car owner," Candace said happily and Andy smiled.

Although Andy had no plans of living separately from her family, she appreciated the gesture.

Perhaps he had plans to visit her here sometime in the future. She would do her best to visit here from time to time so that if or when he chose to visit, she would be available.
