ConnorI know what she thought. She thought that she was just the experimental black girl for me. She thought that I couldn’t give her my heart. But, she had underestimated me. She didn’t know what type of man I was. She was going to learn. I meant every word that I said. I was going to make her a believer.

The only experiments that were going to be between us was going to be the ones that we performed in the bedroom.HaleyThere was absolutely no way that he could be sincere about me. He took months to call me. I was not his type. I was not the right type of girl for a hockey player who makes millions of dollars a year. At least, that was what I believed until Chris made me believe that I may be the only girl that could set his heart aflame. That he may be the only man that was meant to prove to me that you couldn’t just judge a book by its cover no matter how cliché it may sound. less

LisaThere was no way that I could have screwed my life up this bad. I would not sleep with a hockey player after one night of doing way too many shots at my cousin’s anniversary party in Las Vegas.

The night we spent together was memorable because it was the best night of my life. It certainly wasn’t memorable for the reason that Lisa informed me about the night of a charity function.

She wanted us to live together to see if we could make a go of a relationship. But, I refuse to be her baby daddy. I was going to make her my wife and prove to her that the night we shared in Vegas was more than just a fluke. We were meant to be together. What happened in Vegas wasn’t meant to stay in Vegas.
