and they hit it off from day one.
“Girl, my Denzel look-alike is fine, but every now and then a new youngster comes around and makes you take notice. And that one that just left here…” Jenny fanned herself. “Girl, you better snap him up.”
She shook her head, laughing at her friend’s antics, and Jenny started laughing, too.
“He’s a patient. That’s unprofessional.”
“Girl, please. He won’t be a patient for long. Remember, I file the charts. He has less than a month left, and you need to start putting things in place for when he’s no longer coming here three times a week.” Jenny rolled her eyes. “And last I checked, there weren’t any rules against you dating a former patient.”
“He’s still a patient. Anyway, it’s unprofessional. I can’t do it. I try to be as professional as I can be at all times.”
“Mmm…Well, professional isn’t gonna keep you warm at night, and professional isn’t easy on the eyes like Joel Hightower. In my opinion, professional is highly overrated if it means you have to pass on a man like that. I saw the way he looks at you…Girl, that man eyes you as if he wants to sop you up with a biscuit.”
“Stop lying, Jenny. He does no such thing.”
“You wanna put some money on it?”
“No, I don’t. I wouldn’t put money on something like that. Plus, a man as fine as him could have and probably does have any woman he wants. He probably likes those skinny model chicks.”
Samantha was more than happy with her curvy figure and had no desire to move from her size twelve to a size two, but, she knew not every man could handle a sister with some meat on the bones.
“What he wants is you, and I wonder what you’re gonna do when he decides to go after what he wants.”
“I don’t think we have to worry about that happening.” But Samantha couldn’t help letting herself wonder what if…
What if Joel Hightower really wanted her? The heat rose to her neck, her face flushed and her heart started to flutter. Why now?
After years of being able to go with the flow and date guys without getting caught up in emotions…After years of staying clear of men with dangerous occupations…After years of being professional and not crossing the line with anyone she was treating…
Why was Joel Hightower able to tempt her with a smile and a look? Why was he the one to cause her desire to bubble over and need she had barely known she had to erupt? Most importantly, why was she starting to believe she wasn’t going to be able to continue doing things the way she had been doing them. After years of steering clear of the dangers that came with falling in love, she seemed to be primed and ready to make the leap right into Joel Hightower’s arms. And that scared her as much as it excited her.
