works.”
“It’s not hard. You pay attention to their gestures, and the hands they play, how they’re betting. Its not all that hard to do.”
“Well you should play pro. Your tourney name could be Lady Luck.”
“I wouldn’t want to waste my time on trying to win at playing cards, I’d rather be winning at life. My career, my family, my home. Those are the things that make me a winner.”
“No you’re right. I just see you playing at a pro table, as part of the November nine.”
“Jeremiah, do you really want to take me out on a date sometime? You’ve hinted a few times and I was curious.” She says shyly, I tuck her hair behind her ear leaning into her a little closer.
“I was hoping you’d catch on. Yes, I would love to take you out sometime. We both need a little more fun and laughter in our lives. How about Saturday night? “I ask.” I’ll pick you up at six?”
“Where are you taking me?”
“A night out on the town. Dinner and dancing. Wear something sweet and girly for me.”
“You don’t like the way I dress?” She says looking down at her jeans and red flannel shirt, its unbuttoned giving me a peek at her luscious cleavage. What I wouldn’t do to be her tank top underneath hugging her frame.
“I could look at you wearing scrubs and still think you’re cute. But I’ve never seen you in a dress before. A proper date deserves proper attire.”
“Okay. I’ll raid Jessa’s closet.” This girl. She’s so sweet and innocent. I love the cute things she says, and the fact that it feels like I’m hanging out with a friend and not a girl. She’s quirky and cool, calm and active. I never know what her response will be, and I always get side tracked while eyeing her down. She’s got a sexy body, with curves in all the right places. Her ass... ahh I could squeeze perfectly in the palm of my hand. Her hobbies and interest are similar to mine and we compliment each other. We come from very different backgrounds, but our values are the same. When I look at her sometimes, I feel my whole world come into view. I feel like the earth has moved to bring us together. It’s a weird feeling when you don’t understand that your head and heart can feel so differently about some one. I want her in my future but I’m scared to give my heart over again. I also can’t believe that it’s taken me theses past few months to really put the effort out there to get on with my life. I kind of regret turning her away all those times she offered to help me. I could’ve been getting to know her. I could’ve been starting my life sooner than now.
Now, I’ve got homework to do. Where do you go for good food and dancing?
CHAPTER 6
Jeremiah
I’ve thought of her so much lately. She’s the opposite of Cam and maybe that’s what surprised me. She’s so different than what I thought I wanted. I told myself to be careful and not give my heart away so easily. But I’m finding it harder than I thought to just let myself walk away. I’m afraid of letting her go and regret knowing there could have been something worth fighting for. There’s not one single thing about her that doesn’t drive me wild. It’s nearly everything!
She mirrors me. We are very alike and also very different. We mesh. And when I look at what my future would be like with her, having her by my side always, it makes me wonder if turning my back on her is the smart thing to do. She may frustrate me sometimes, but I’m finding that it’s actually a turn on, with her attitude and sassy mouth. I can’t help but get hard when she back mouths me, or has some crazy remark. Sometimes It’s the surprise of her responses, and that shocking tongue. It’s so funny to hear some of the sexual innuendos she gives me knowing she’s never actually been in that situation. I’m hoping our date this weekend goes great. From
