Chapter 11

“One monkey don’t stop no show,” Surry said as she, Danetta and Ryla sat in the hair salon waiting to get their do’s done.

“What about two clowns? If both show up to the same party, that can stop a show...especially if one needs gas money and the other keeps forgetting that he’s married,” Danetta said.

“Yeah, that wasn’t even cool. I wish Marshall had punched that guy in the face, right in front of his wife,” Ryla said.

Danetta waved off that suggestion. “Girl please, I wouldn’t want Marshall to get into a fight over me.”

“I dated this guy once who picked fights with any and every guy who even looked my way. It was kind of cute for about a week, then I was over it,” Surry said.

“It takes you about a week or two to get over every man you date,” Ryla said with a laugh.

“Well, at least I go out and try to find love,” Surry argued. “You won’t even give a guy a chance, so don’t talk about me, Ryla Evans.

“Hold on, I thought we were talking about my problems. Can we please focus?” Danetta asked.

“Girl, quit crying. You emailed us a picture of this guy you’re going to lunch with tomorrow. And let me just say...if he has a brother, send him my way,” Ryla said while fanning herself with her hand.

Danetta wanted to tell her friends about the kiss she’d shared with Marshall. But she was just too embarrassed to admit that she’d allowed Marshall to lead her around like a cat chasing after a spoil of yarn, only to get to the end of it and find a pity date waiting.

Men were such jerks, Danetta thought as she sat under the dryer fuming. She entered the dating scene again because she wanted a man to call her own. But all she’d found so far was the ‘can-I-borrow-some-gas-money?’, and the ‘oh-did-I-forget-to-mention-I-have-a-wife?’ kind of men. The two losers she’d been on dates with were seriously making her reconsider giving guy number three a chance. But since she wasn’t about to sit at home and continue dreaming about a man she couldn’t have in the way she wanted him, Danetta was not going to let two losers stop her from taking another chance on love.

The sun was out and since it was almost seventy degrees in late February, Danetta decided to walk over to the Chinese restaurant that was across the street from her office complex. Her date was waiting on her and Danetta had motivated herself into high hopes for this new guy. But she wasn’t prepared for the piece of eye candy she found herself sitting across the table from. The brother could give Shemar Moore lessons on exploiting his pretty boy face and rock-hard body. “So, Stan.” What was a pretty boy like this doing with a name like Stan? “What do you do for a living?”

“I’m pretty much a jack-of-all-trades,” he said as he slurped his soup as if no one ever taught him proper soup etiquette.
