I should have asked more questions about the other J because where James has an easy smile and rolls with things, Jaxson is rigid and doesn?t know the definition of coloring outside the lines. I don?t think Jaxson likes me very much because I always thought those lines were more suggestions than boundaries.It would be okay if Jaxson wasn?t the sexiest man I?ve ever laid eyes on. I have become a walking, talking clich? complete with a boss who makes me swoon and lose all my mental faculties. I can?t seem to stop making a fool of myself in front of him, somehow becoming an uncoordinated newborn giraffe as soon as I get a whiff of him.I don?t think I can keep doing this. It?s embarrassing. I?ve decided, for Boss?s Day I?m going to give Jaxson the only present I?m sure he ...
