《Chocolate Kisses (Complete)》43🍫

Advertisement

It is almost Valentine's Day and we have sold so many of the Jenna sacks and I'm so happy about that.

I was in the back putting coins in the bags when Elena walked back with some pink roses.

"Those are pretty! From Issac?"

"No these are for you."

"Oh? Well, thanks!"

I took them from her and went to my office and pulled the card out.

Thank you for everything you have done to keep Jenna's memory alive. I can never thank you enough Vaylin. From the bottom of my heart thank you! -Patti

I couldn't help but smile and wipe a tear away when I read that. Patti is so thankful for what we have done.

I smelled the flowers and smiled moving them around on my desk with the card showing.

I walked to the back passing Issac and he smiled. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah go read the card on my desk in the flowers."

I went back to work on candy and when Issac walked back he smiled. "That was nice boss."

"It really was huh?" I smiled.

"Do you need help with the coins boss?"

"Nah I'm good I'm kinda in my own feelings today and want to do this alone."

"Alright holler if you need me."

I was trying to mix the chocolate and tears kept leaking out of my eyes and I don't know what the hell is wrong with me.

At lunchtime, Theo comes in the back door, and as soon as I see him big tears form in my eyes.

"Sweetness, what's wrong?"

"I have no idea. I mean after I received flowers from Patti all I have done is cry."

"She sent you flowers?"

"Yeah, I thought they were from you. Let me put these in the fridge and we can go to my office."

When I walk into my office he sits down in my chair and pats his legs. "Come here, sweetness."

I sit on his lap and wrap my arm around his neck.

"Those are beautiful flowers and very sweet of Patti."

"Yeah, I think she's very appreciative of what we are doing and I had a glance at the numbers, and it's been very profitable."

"Dad said he would match whatever we have made and donate as well."

"That's great." I lean my head against his and sniff.

"I'm sorry this has you all emotional sweetness. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"I don't think so. I mean I'm just going to make more Jenna candy."

"Maybe you need to pass that off to someone else and you work on something different because it's making you really sad."

"I know but I feel like I should put my all into it, Theo."

"Would you feel better if I stay here and help you?"

"Nah I guess I just need to wallow somehow." I laugh.

"How about we skip out early and make a day of it and go out to eat?"

"Now that I could get behind. Let me go talk to Issac."

"No I will go talk to Issac and you go clean up in the bathroom."

"Ok." I smile at him and kiss his lips.

After cleaning up in the bathroom I touched up my eyes and put some lip balm on and headed back to my office.

"It's all settled. Let's take your car home and then we will head to the hibachi grill."

"Sounds good babe."

His eyes got big. "Did you just call me something other than Theo?"

"I guess I did." I giggle.

I follow him home and I change my clothes and Theo dropped the suit jacket and we head back out in his truck.

He holds my hand the whole time and even though I'm happy to spend time with him I'm sad inside and I feel like I just need a good cry.

Honestly, I feel like I need my mom. I miss her so much.

We walk in and sit down and eat soon enough I am smiling and laughing but Theo is really trying to make me feel better.

On the way back home I asked Theo to stop and get flowers. I want to go put them on Jenna's grave.

"Are you sure that's a good idea sweetness?"

"I think I need it to be honest Theo. Will you get some pretty daisies or something?"

"I can do that sweetness."

I squeeze the velvet sack in my pocket and when Theo came back to the truck he hands me the flowers and we drive to the graveyard.

I don't think I've ever been to this graveyard before but it's very pretty and peaceful.

We get out and Theo gets me by the arm and we walk up to her headstone and it has a pretty angel propped up on the top with some solar lights around it.

I put the flowers down in her vase and I pulled the pink velvet bag out of my pocket without the candy and tied it to the flowers.

"Hi, Jenna! I know you don't know me but thank you for bringing Theo to me."

Theo put his arm around me and kissed the side of my head.

We didn't stay long and headed back to the truck. He squeezed my hand on the ride home.

"Your quiet Theo are you ok?"

"I have never been there before and it was a lot to swallow but I'm glad that we went."

"I'm sorry I didn't know you hadn't. I could have come alone."

"No sweetness I think we both needed that and now we can move on and I want you to be happy with what you are doing for the foundation."

"I am happy we are doing this. We may need to do this for other charities sometimes Theo."

"I like the sound of that. Now let's go in and cuddle on the couch with a glass of wine and watch some tv."

"That sounds great! Thank you for today. I love you."

"I love you too sweetness."
