Book Cover & Preview Text
Sabrea pulled up at the school. Running late, she still took time to take in the day. Even with the snow on the ground that had accumulated the night before the site of the city was beautiful to Sabrea. She always loved the seducing spirit that downtown Atlanta had, especially when she was a child. The drive from North Avenue to Greenbriar which was the outskirts of Atlanta was long, but was just what she needed to unwind after a long day at work. Putting the vehicle in park, she laid back in her seat. Thoughts of Chase’s big wide shoulders kept playing repeatedly inside her head. The smell of his cologne sent a smile on her face. He's a nice man, she thought to herself. A little rough around the edges, but she can deal with that. Plus, she needs a change from the men that she normally dates. Men that take more time than she does to get ready for a date. Men who think that their Mercedes is a substitute for settling down and having a family and that their bank account makes them king of the city. It would be nice to have a hard working man, who cares more about her, and than himself. That would be nice for a change. What kind of man are you Mr. Chase Johnson, she asked herself as she open the door and slid out of her Mercedes. Noticing her smile was still stuck on her face, she tries to get her composure. Making her way to the front door of the school she reached into her purse to make sure she didn't misplace his number. Pulling out the paper with his number on it and her phone, she begins to type the number on the keypad. She carefully maneuvered around the people that were exiting the building, as she hit enter to save the number. A thought to call him was interrupted by Stacy, her daughter, busting through the doors and giving Sabrea a big hug. “How come you're late," the tone of Stacy’s voice was one of a mother scolding her child. "Excuse me," Sabrea made sure that Stacy was reminded that she was the child and not the mother. Sabrea led Stacy to the car, placed her book bag in the back seat and made sure that Stacy was buckled. Making her way to driver’s side of the vehicle she heard someone calling her name.
