Chapter 11

“Thanks for coming with me to the hospital today,” Jocelyn said, opening her handbag and rummaging around inside for her designer sunglasses. “I really appreciate it, and I know your visit meant a lot to my mom.”

Sharleen smiled and joined her friend inside the elevator. “It was my pleasure. Your mom’s a sweetheart, and I’m glad I could spend some time with her this afternoon.”

As the elevator began its descent they chatted about their plans for the weekend.

“Do you want to go to the Atlanta job fair on Saturday?” Jocelyn asked.

Sharleen carefully considered her words. She wanted to tell Jocelyn about her plans with Emilio, but thought better of it. She couldn’t risk one of her colleagues finding out about their secret trip to Miami and blabbing to Mrs. Fontaine. Her boss was busy promoting her new life-coaching book, 90 Days to a Better You, which suited Sharleen fine. Image meant everything to Mrs. Fontaine, and she’d be furious if she discovered Sharleen had kissed Emilio.

You’ve done a lot more than just kissing! her conscience pointed out.

Her cheeks flushed with heat. For the past few weeks, she’d been hanging out with Emilio—playing tennis at his estate, watching movies in his home theater, sharing kisses under the stars—and every day their bond grew stronger. He’d welcomed her into his life, opened up to her, and she felt compelled to protect his privacy. Emilio was a quiet, sensitive man who enjoyed his solitude, and she didn’t want to betray his trust by gossiping about their relationship to her friend.

“Sorry, Jocelyn, I can’t. I’m busy this weekend.”

“Do you work on Sunday, too?”

“Yes, I, um, have three consultations lined up and an afternoon session in Savannah.”

“I am so jealous,” she gushed, with a wistful look in her eyes. “I wish I had somewhere to go besides the hospital and the unemployment office.”

“Keep your chin up. You’ll find something soon. I know it.”

“I sure hope so, because I’m tired of sitting at home waiting for the phone to ring.”

The women exited the elevator and left the Atlanta Medical Center through the sliding glass doors. Hearing her iPhone chime, Sharleen pulled it out. The newest text message from Emilio made her heart soar.

I’m counting down the minutes until our flight to Miami. I’m going to wine you and dine you until you forget every other guy, and fall hopelessly in love with me...

Sharleen couldn’t wipe the grin off her face, didn’t even try. Emilio was a sweetheart, unlike anyone she’d ever met, and she adored everything about him—his boyish smile, his deep, throaty laugh, how his eyes twinkled at the corners when he was amused. He put her on a pedestal, treated her with kindness and respect and showered her with affection. And he’s an amazing kisser, too, she thought, her mind overwhelmed with memories of their last date. He makes me feel desirable, like the most beautiful woman in the world, and if I wasn’t so self-conscious about my body, I’d want Emilio to be my—

“I’m starving.
