not in the way you are thinking. We’re just old acquaintances. His brother married my best friend.”
    “Shit!” Becky yelled. “Is that the man you talked about for weeks after your visit to
Montana
? You told me he was nice looking, but you forgot to say he was sinfully good looking.”
    “We’re just friends,” Jenisha lied.
    “Girl, you better let him capture you. It’s not everyday a man like Clinton Campbell rolls into your life. Did you notice how he looked at you? I wouldn’t be surprised if he kissed you after I left.”
    “He kissed me twice before we even got to the class room,” she whispered into the phone.
    “Damn, why are you keeping all the juicy stuff to yourself? You can’t let a man as delicious as him get away from you.”
    “Becky, I can’t allow myself to become involved with
Clinton
. He’ll eventually want something from me that I can’t give.”
    “Are you saying you don’t feel anything for him at all? Don’t his green eyes make your heart race when he looks at you?”
    “God, yes,” Jenisha sighed. “I feel so many things when I’m around him, but I’m not ready to have
Clinton
in my life.”
    “How do you know if
Clinton
isn’t the man unless you give him a chance?” Becky questioned. “Because after seeing him in class yesterday with you, he looked like he would move the world for you if he could.”
    Jenisha sighed as she listened to Becky plead with her to give
Clinton
a chance. “I need time to think all this over.”
    “Don’t wait too long to make your decision or some other woman will snatch the handsome Mr. Clinton Campbell away from you. A man like him doesn’t stay single long.” Becky told her goodbye, then hung up.

    The phone conversation with Becky stayed with Jenisha long after it had ended. What if Becky was right and I wait too long and another woman gets
Clinton
’s love? She didn’t want to think about
Clinton
with another woman. She needed to make a decision about
Clinton
and soon.

Chapter Four
    Clinton
couldn’t concentrate on the designs any longer. He had been sitting at his table for two hours, and now all the lines were starting to run together. Tossing the pencil down on his desk, he ran the back of his hand across his eyes trying to get rid of some of the double vision.
    He got up from his chair and walked over to look out his bay window. The warm sun shined in on his face and released some of the tension from his body. Looking across the street, he noticed a little blond-haired boy playing baseball with another little boy in his yard. The cute sight brought a smile to his face. God, he wanted a family with Jenisha more than anything in the world. He just didn’t think it would be this hard to break down all those barriers around her heart. But he didn’t mind waiting for her. She was worth all the heartache he was experiencing.
    Jenisha was the perfect woman for him: exciting, intelligent, and beautiful. He loved the honest quality she possessed which his former girlfriend didn’t. He knew what mood she was in from an arch of her eyebrow or from the frown lines of her face.
    Moving away from the window,
Clinton
went to stand in the middle of the living room and listened to the silence around him. It was a sound he was getting tired of hearing. He wanted laughter and love flowing around him like his brother had. “God, Jenisha, why can’t you make up your mind about me? All this waiting is killing me. You don’t know how I wish I had you in my arms right now. I could make your life a living fairy tale.”
    He wiped his hand across the back of his neck. “You would want for nothing. I could make your every dream come true if you would give me half a chance,” he stated out loud.
    Shaking his head about the dilemma he was in,
Clinton
went back across the room, picked up the cordless phone, and ordered a pizza. He always thought better after two hot slices of pizza were in his stomach. Hanging up the phone, he left the
