man. Christian couldn’t stop himself from wanting to take her, feel her and just wanting to be close to her. After what seemed like forever but was only minutes, she pulled away.
    “Christian.”
    He pulled her face closer to his and kissed her again. All of her craved for his hands to explore her body, for his lips to taste all of her. She wanted him so badly that tears started to brim her eyes as she pulled away from him.
    “Christian wait.”
    “Scarlett I like you a lot. I mean I really, really like you. I felt an instant attraction to you the moment I laid eyes on you. Being stuck with you in that elevator was the hardest thing I have ever had to do because all I wanted was to kiss you and take you right then and there. And oh my God kissing you is like the sweetest and yet most arousing thing that has ever happened to me. No woman has ever done this to me. I look at you and I just want you. But I also know you are not in the place to be with anyone and I am ok with that. I am willing to just be your friend.”
    “You are even though you feel this deep attraction to me?”
    “I didn’t say it would be easy. But I will do it for you.”
    “So since we are on the same page can I get off your lap now?”
    He smiled at her.
    “Yes. But only if you admit you like me.”
    “What do you mean?”
    “I mean admit you like me.”
    “Of course I like you.”
    “No I mean really like me.”
    She smiled and looked around the playground. He pulled her face back to his. She blushed.
    “Of course I like you. You’re sexy and tall. And you’re smile is so I don't even know but all I need right now is a friend.”
    “Well if that is what you want that is what you get. So friend let’s just go back to the house and you have no more worries about all of this ok?”
    “Ok.”
    “I am serious. I am going to make sure you guys are ok.”
    “Ok. And I am ready to go back.”
    They stood and he grabbed her hand.
    “You know your daughter is really adorable. She’s lucky.”
    “Why do you say that?”
    “Because she looks just like you.”
    Scarlett smiled as they walked back to the house. When they entered to the house, the movers were setting up the beds and Helen and the girls were in the kitchen making a list of what they needed. They passed Devon as he was talking with Christopher and Chris. Scarlett walked into the kitchen. Helen looked at her.
    “Sweetie are you ok?”
    “Yes. I am sorry about that outburst. It’s just so overwhelming. You guys have blessed this family in more than one way we appreciate it.”
    “With the help of the Lord we did. I was telling the girls since you are new here you should stop by and visit our church.”
    “After everything you have done for us we certainly will.”
    Angel walked over to Scarlett and leaned against her shoulder.
    “I’m hungry.”   
    “Ok…well how about we take the car for a test drive? Would you guys like to join us?”
    She looked towards Helen.
    “We would love to but Christopher and I have a dinner meeting but can we get a rain check.”
    “Definitely.” Scarlett looked over to Christian and Chris. “What about you guys?” Chris stood.
    “Well I have to go to the community center tonight my team has a game. If it’s ok, I would like to bring Devon along. He said he loves basketball.”
    “Oh um I guess its fine as long as he's not out too late.”
    “We are just going to go to get some pizza after the game. I should have him home at around 11.”
    She turned towards Christian. “That’s fine. So Christian what do you think are you going to join us or do you have plans too?”
    “It would be my pleasure to join you ladies.”
    Helen cleared her throat. “I thought you were going back to the office.”
    “That can wait. I am going to show these lovely ladies around.”
    Devon smiled. “You have my sister’s home at a decent hour.”
    “No problem.”
    Christian held his arm out to Scarlett. “So shall we go?”
    “We
