Opening her eyes, Francine stretched and looked down at the soaking sheet.

“Oops, I guess it’s time.” She said, nonchalantly. She looked at Jeremy who was wearing dress slacks, a football jersey and mismatched shoes and laughed as she got out of bed.

"I love you Deya. Only you, it's always been you."

"I love me now too Khalil. Only me, so we have that in common." Grabbing the handle of her suitcase, Deya walked around her husband and out the door. She waited until Keb was settled. Her dues were paid.

"I have a chestnut Arabian. I named her Char. She's a beauty." Mark said, watching Charlotte.

"Maybe I will. Thanks for lunch but I really need to run. My money has run out on the parking meter. It was great seeing you Mark."

"Saturday, I'm coming to get you Saturday." Mark said, eagerly.

Marissa’s mother had passed away a few years ago and the man who fathered her and had been a secret showed up at the funeral with his protective entourage. After two days, he disappeared again but several months ago, Marissa received an inheritance from him that changed if not her life, it completely changed her bottom line and she needed to get away. The only thing she hadn’t done was tell Tomas. It no longer mattered how he felt about it, she was done.

“The class is in 3C.” Matheo said, his eyes never leaving Amara who had picked up her bag preparing to leave. Nodding, Amara walked around him and out the building. She could feel his eyes on her but she didn’t look back.

“A man provides for his woman. If I had a woman, I earn enough for both of us and then some. I also own my home outright.” He said before lifting his glass and taking a hefty swig, his eyes never leaving hers. “And before you ask, I don’t currently have a woman because I haven’t been looking. I’m twenty-seven and was getting educated and working. I’m ready...” He said.
“You taking applications?” Anita asked nothing coy in her tone.
