Game For Love

Chapter One

Savani Shepfield was not a fan of waiting for people. She’d ditched her former hairdresser because she’d made Savani wait one too many times. An appointment was an appointment. If another client showed up late, why should Savani’s start time be pushed back? She’d walked out of business meetings because of lateness. And she’d left her ex-boyfriend because, after four years, she was tired of waiting for a ring.

She tapped her black Manolo Blahnik heels against the restaurant’s floor. Checking her watch, she saw that Nolan Reynolds was more than forty minutes late.

But she had to wait.

She was beyond annoyed that her time was being wasted. So even though she’d called Express D.C magazine’s office fifteen minutes prior, she called her boss once more.

“Yes, Savani.”

“Matthew. He’s still not here. I have another appointment in an hour and a half.” Savani did not want to be late for her next meeting. She also wanted to show Nolan that he was not the most important person in the world. NBA players were so full of themselves.

Savani knew her boss was a bigger stickler for time than she was. As editor of the magazine, he’d drilled into his staff that time was money.

Most people, from politicians and business professionals to those in the creative arts, showed for their interview on time. But Savani had learned that athletes were a different breed. Especially the basketball players. She wasn’t too fond of the self-involved hoop stars.

“You’ll just have to wait for him,” Matthew said.

Savani let out a sigh of exasperation. This was why ballers felt so important. People catered to them.

“Okay.” She didn’t have anything left to say.

“Where’s your next meeting?”

“On Wisconsin Avenue.”

“Okay. That’s just a fifteen minute drive west. D.C. traffic isn’t too bad before 4 p.m. I’ll send another journalist to the meeting if I don’t hear from you in an hour. Getting Nolan to open up for this interview will be a gold mine for the magazine. I sent you because I know you can do it. Was I wrong?”

“Of course not.”

“Well then, later.” Matthew hung up the phone.

Savani put down her phone. The waiter came over and refilled her glass of water. Savani took a sip and smiled in disbelief. Some people had all the luck. She shook her head.

Nolan Reynolds was a popular NBA player. He also stood out because he was a white boy from the Midwest with a distinct accent. Savani would say he was built to be an athlete. Tall with broad shoulders and a physique that would make any woman double-take.

Savani appreciated a man with a nice body. Her ex had played in the NFL. She sensed Nolan looked amazing undressed. But Savani was no groupie. She’d met her ex in college and their relationship had left a bad taste in her mouth. She was done with athletes. Though she couldn’t say for sure that her ex had been unfaithful, she didn’t understand why he was reluctant to marry her. Athletes had too many women to choose from, she thought.
