just met yesterday. I know it is too soon to say I feel something for him, but when I'm near him I feel alive again. Hunter really did a number on me, even when we were together a little of me died every day. I was too weak to stand up to him; I let him treat me as though I were worthless with no brain. After what he said to his parents about me, I just wanted to die. I never knew pain like that before in my life.”
“But why are you scared of Vincent?”
“I'm not scared of him. I'm scared of not being what he expects of a girl; I have only ever been with Hunter and that was only once. Vincent is so much older than me and well with age come experience and I have none of that.”
“Oh come on, you can’t let something like inexperience stand in your way, you are amazing and sexy and any guy would just be too happy to have you as arm candy.”
“Whatever!”
"Don't whatever me; you know I'm right! Even if you don't want to believe me, you are allowed to have a little bit of fun with VP. He is freaking hot, OMG if it wasn't for you having that dreamy look in your eyes last night, I for sure would be jumping his bones! I will settle for Cole”
“VP?”
“Y E S, you know Vincent Pierce, I think it is a fitting nickname, you know me with nicknames, TDD!”
“You know you are crazy but thank you. I think fun is the right word, if being with Vincent means I can forget my worries for only a little while, then why not?”
“Talking about nicknames, TDD is here in Long-beach or so I think”
“Don't joke, how do you know that? Have you seen him?... OMG I would love to see that piece of sexy ass again.”
“I haven't seen him myself, but a lady came into Simplicity the other day. She said that she was mugged on the beach and this guy with brown eyes in camo uniform saved the day. She said one of his colleges called him Brent, so it could be him, I don't know. The army have been around the area for weeks now, not sure why.”
“S H I T, we are running late, I still want to go for a run this morning before the other girls get up, and I need to clear my head will you get breakfast ready for everyone? It is going to be a big day today".
"Cool, I will do that; I can't wait to see Cole again today"
With that I jumped out of bed and dressed into my running clothes.
As I got out my front door, I spotted Vincent; he was leaning up against the hood of his car. This man was perfect in every way, from his bald head, rock hard abs and gorgeous legs. . Oh how I would love to see the whole of THAT hovering over me. There is just something about him that drives me crazy, I could have said that it was just his looks, but I felt like my soul yearned to connect with his, knowing it would be safe to feel again.
I was scared, what if I was not good enough to be with a man like him? He was at least in his late 20's if not early 30's and I was only 18, I was not woman enough and was broken.
When he saw me he straightened up and started walking towards me. He was dressed in a pair of white running shorts, blue tight fitting shirt and a pair of white Nike sneakers. That T-shit clung in all the right places. As I got closer to him I could feel my body heating up! Oh I could get lost in this man.
“Focus girl; don't let him see the effect he has on you. Too late, there is that smirk again.”
“Good morning, gorgeous!”
“Good morning Vincent, you are here early!”
“I was hoping to catch you on your run this morning.”
“Do you think you can keep up with me? You know I do this every morning.”
“I know.”
There was that smirk again; I wished I knew what the man was thinking.
“So don't just stand there, I have a crazy day today, winning the tournament and all.”
With that I started running, Vincent very quickly fell in next to me, close e nough that I could smell him. If I
