the cliff. “Yes, yessssss. Ohhhh, yes!” I find myself panting afterwards, needing more, wishing it really were Showken. What has this man done to me? I close my eyes, and soon sleep finds me.
    ***
    Thank heavens I have today off. It’s been forever since I had a day off from both jobs. I’m not going anywhere. I’m staying in my pajamas and relaxing today. I decide to cook myself a real breakfast instead of the on-the-go bars I usually eat. Today, I’m cooking blueberry pancakes, eggs with cheese and some crispy bacon. I’m not worried about calories today; it’s all about me. I drift back to my night, seeing his eyes staring at me, and a slight moan escapes, “Mmmm.” Shit, Marilyn, get yourself together. He doesn’t really want you; he was probably so drunk he didn’t realize what he was saying. After I fix Bruiser some breakfast, I finish cooking and sit at my tiny table. I eat in silence, and a feeling of disappointment comes over me. ‘It was nice to have Showken pursuing you’, my subconscious says. I'm drawn from my thoughts of last night when my cell rings.
    “Hello , Jasmine,” I say, stuffing my mouth.
    “ Marilyn, guess who came in last night after you left, and wanted to know when you are working?”
    “Tell me you didn’t.”
    “I so fucking did, and I even gave him your address ,” Jasmine says. Why the hell would she do that, he could be a stalker or worse.
    “Jasmine, why did you think it wa s okay to do that? I mean he-” before I can finish, she cuts me off, talking again.
    “Listen, I did some diggin g, and that is not just some regular guy, that’s Showken Draglen from Out of World Enterprises. Sweetie, that, my dear, is better than awesome,” Jasmine is very excited, and one horny lady. She is 25 years old with a 3 year-old daughter. She was drunk when she got pregnant and can’t remember who the father is, which makes her a single parent. Rachel is my god-daughter and I love her, so it’s like Jasmine and I share her.
    “Jasmine! Oh Jasmine, I don’t care who he is. I’m not seeing him, and you shouldn’t have given him my address. As much as I’d like to be pissed, I can’t stay mad at you for long. I hope he doesn’t come to my place, for your sake,” I say, stuffing my mouth with more food.
    “I hope he does. I mean you and your B.O.B. are too well acquainted, it’s time for the real thing, and I think Showken Draglen wants to rock your world. I mean, I did throw myself at him, and he turned me down like a perfect gentleman, meaning he wants you,” she says, enthusiastically. I hear Rachel playing in the background, and it makes me smile. I used to wish for children when I was a little girl; now, I pray I never have one.
    “Jasmine, he better not show up at my door. I’m not kidding; you know how I feel abou t strangers coming to my house. If he gets shot I’m blaming you,” I say, walking my empty plate over to the sink.
    “If that sexy man shows up at your door with the body and smile he has, you need to invite him in and show him to the bedroom,” she says. I can picture her silly grin right now.
    “I wo n’t do that, thanks for giving a stranger my address! I’m going to sit and relax, give Rachel a kiss for me,” I say.
    “Anytime, and I will give her a kiss for you, bye , Marilyn.”
    “Bye, Jazz ,” I say, ending the call. I plop down on my sofa, and turn on the television. I begin watching, and the next thing I know I fall asleep. A knock at the door wakes me up. I get up, and see it’s just after noon. Wow, I was really tired. I walk slowly to the door and open it without thinking. His fragrance hits me like a ton of bricks. I raise my head slowly, meeting his gaze, and instantly my body reacts to his intense stare and green eyes.
    “Hello , Marilyn,” he says. His smile is captivating. I’m lost for words, and struggle to gain composure.
    “Um m, umm, why are you here?” I ask, admiring him in his sexy slacks and casual shirt. He
