young girl who looks not much older than a teenager.”
“Oh no, she’s not a teenager ,” he said pushing down a button on the computer keyboard. A picture of a woman appeared on the screen. “She’s twenty-seven, I’ll email you the information on where she lives and works as well.”
I zoned out the sound of Colin’s voice , all my attention was on the beautiful woman in the picture that was on the computer monitor. She had short dark brown hair with some red highlights in it, big gorgeous brown eyes, fair skin, sexy full lips and a petite but curvy figure that was irresistible to look at. Beautiful doesn’t compare to what she looked…she was absolutely stunning. Colin must’ve seen something in my change of expression because he had to cough to get my attention.
“She’s quite something, isn’t she?”
“Yes she is,” I choked out as I tore my eyes from the screen to look back at him.
“I don’t need to worry about you getting distracted?” He asked.
“No,” I said firmly to him.
I’ve dealt with women like Angelina my whole life and as far as I could remember she wasn’t any different from the others. Except for what was going to happen to her if I failed on protecting her. Colin thanked me and promised to email the information as soon as he receives it. This is going to be a long next few weeks I thought to myself as I turned to leave Colin’s office. The only question now is how the hell am I going to convince her to come and stay with me without blowing my cover?
Chapter Three
“Angelina, Ang!” I jumped nearly spilling my coffee all over my desk and myself.
“Holy shit Betty! You scared the shit out of me,” I said as I glared at her. I loved Betty she is always nice to me, a little obnoxious at times but still a great friend.
“Sorry, what’s up with you today? You seem a little lost today,” she said while examining my face for some sort of answer to her question.
“I just had a rough night last night that’s all,” I said as I tried to shake the dream I had out of my head but failed horribly.
I was joggi ng down the street from my apartment building when all of a sudden some guy comes out of know where and started to jog right behind me. I couldn’t see his face because he was wearing a black hoodie sweatshirt with the hood up covering his head. I tried to not panic or let paranoia get the best of me but when he made every turn I did, I broke off in a sprint and he quickly mimicked what I did. I was just a few buildings down from my apartment, when I tripped and fell. Just before I could scream in panic for help, I woke up…
“Do you know what you need? Lunch, come my treat,” Betty says.
“I don’t know Betty, I still have a lot to do and…” she started closing my laptop and all I could do was stare at her in disbelieve. “What are you doing?”
“I’m not taking no for an answer,” she said as she tugged on my arm. “You work too much, now come on!”
“Okay,” I mumbled while bending down to grab my purse. We headed to a nearby restaurant that we usually go to not far from work.
“You all know that too much work and no play makes Angelina a very boring girl,” Betty said while taking a bite out of her burger.
I d on’t know where she puts all this food she eats, she is so tiny I envy her. I’m not a healthy eater but she overdoes it sometimes. I tried to ignore her sarcasm as I pick at my chicken wrap but sometimes she just won’t give up.
“Ha ha ha, I know how to have fun. You make me seem that I have no life at all,” I say stubbornly as she rolls her eyes at me.
“You call reading sappy romance books fun?” As she waved her fork in the air. “What about parties and boys?”
“I’m not much of a party girl,” I said nor will I ever be, it’s never been my thing.
“Okay maybe you’re not a party animal but what about boys, huh?” She raised her eyebrows at me. “When was the last time you had a date? Nah, check that
