involved with this woman Collin, you’ve
got to stop so you don’t end up hurting her,” Randall warned him.
Collin thought about
what his brother was telling him. But he knew what he was doing though. He had treated
his women well in the past and he knew how to handle Regina now.
After beating his
brother at golf for the fifteenth time in a row, Collin decided to head back
home to get relaxed but his mind the entire time was on Regina. He couldn’t get
what his brother had been telling him off his mind. He knew that he should have
gone with his instinct and never told Randall about Regina. Was Collin Noonan
having regret now?
He shook the ridiculous
thought out of his head when he pulled into his condo building.
“How was the golf game
Mr. Noonan?” asked Dave, one of the maintenance guys, when he was going into
the freight elevator.
“I bet my brother
again, and won.” Collin chuckled remembering just how goofy he looked.
The doors opened to the
eighth floor. “Check you later Mr. Noonan, have a good evening.”
“Same to you Dave, have
a good one.” The doors immediately closed afterwards taking Collin to his
floor.
After he got to his
place and put up his stuff, he plopped down on the couch, running his fingers
through his hair while letting out an exasperated sigh.
Now he was completely
bored.
Looking over at the
clock, he realized it would be dinner time soon. That’s when a clever idea
popped into his head. He headed back to his room to grab a shower and fresh
clothes.

Regina had debated what
to eat for dinner but ended up plopping on the couch with a bag of red grapes.
Grabbing one of the small globes, she popped it into her mouth, relishing the
sweetness of it. That’s when thoughts of last night came into her head.
Honestly she had been thinking about the entire evening to the point where she
didn’t get much sleep. Where loneliness once filled her heart joy and giddiness
now replaced it. A smile had permanently replaced the meek expression that used
to take up residence on her face. She was a changed woman now all because of a
handsome redhead named Collin.
She kept replaying the
fiery kiss they shared last night in her mind. It felt like every part of her
body was going to explode. Never in a million years had she been kissed like
that by anybody. A smirk played about her lips as she wondered how it would be
with him in bed. Would he be gentle or would he be like an animal? How many
times would they make love their first go around?
“God I honestly need to
stop thinking like that,” she said to herself, throwing down her remote. She
got up to look through her vast DVD collection to find a movie to watch. After
looking through them for a while, even though most of them she had seen a dozen
or so times, she finally decided to watch one of her favorites, Freaks . Popping the DVD into the player,
she went back to the couch and pressed the button on the remote to begin the
movie.
Midway into the movie,
she realized all of the grapes were gone when she put her hand in the bag. Damn, I’m still hungry.
That is when the
doorbell rang which shocked her because she wasn’t expecting anyone. She peeked
through the little peephole to see who it was. However, whoever it was had
decided to obstruct her view because all she saw was what looked like flowers.
“Who is it?”
“I have a delivery
ma’am.”
“A delivery you say,
who is it from?”
“All I know ma’am is
that it says C on here.” The man’s voice sounded so corny it was laughable.
Quickly, she opened the door realizing that delivery guy was Collin himself.
All she could do was laugh as he chuckled, standing there with a bouquet of
wild flowers and a bag in one hand. In his other he held a large pizza box, the
aroma quickly making her stomach growl.
“Wow, this is a
surprise, come in.”
Collin followed her to
the kitchen. He put the hot pizza on the counter along with the bag. “These are
for you.”
