gain her financial stability, will she lose the one thing she protects the most?  Her heart.  This wasn’t supposed to be a factor but the way it’s beating beneath her shirt, she has a feeling it’s already factored into the equation. She already likes them both way more than she should. She keeps re-reading the e-mail, unsure how to reply. 
    “Go for it.” 
    “What?” She jumps at the sound of Sarah’s voice behind her, reading the e-mail. 
    “Exactly what I said. Do it. Tell him yes. Go. Have fun.”
    “I can’t.”
    “Yes, you can.”
    “What about work?”
    “I can handle the place for Friday. Go, you deserve some fun… Some happiness.”  She places her hand on Kim’s shoulder, looking her over.  “I love you, let loose have fun.”
    “Fine.”  She retorts while she hits reply to his message.

    Mr. Stanley,
     
    I would love to accompany you on your weekend getaway.  I will go shopping for a weekend getaway after work.  Enjoy your day! See you Thursday. 
     
    Kimberly.
     
    “About time you did something for yourself.” Sarah chastises Kim.
    “Well, you might want to hush.  They may have some friends for you.” 
    “No thank you!”
    “Go back to work!”  Kim replies, pushing her sister towards the door while rolling her eyes.  She can’t help but feel pride in her as she watches her little sister walking away.  She has been through so much in her twenty-six years and still has become this amazing woman.  She looks over some more paperwork and watches the camera of all the classrooms before making her way into the kitchen to start lunch for the forty kids in their care. 
     
    The week seems to fly by and before Kimberly knows it, her alarm is ringing to signify that it is Thursday morning. She spent her evening with Jonathon the night before.  He brought her to dinner and made sure she was thoroughly pleasured and sated before he left for work this morning.  She bites her lip remembering his hands and mouth all over her body.  She caresses her thigh where his lips had been just moments before.  She climbs out of the bed, walking into the bathroom and turning on the shower.  While the water is heating up, she brushes her teeth and looks in the mirror. 
    “I’m going to kill him!” She screeches, seeing the mark on her collarbone.  She pulls herself closer to the mirror and stares in horror at the angry red mark on her chest. She runs to her bedroom, grabs her phone off the nightstand and texts Jonathon. 
    Kim - I hate you.  
    She sends the text then climbs under the warm water of the shower. She lets the water take the tension that Jonathon didn’t before stepping out of the warm confines of the shower stall.  She wraps a towel around herself, wadding back into the room to check her phone.
    Jonathon – That’s not what you were saying this morning while my tongue was deep in that tasty pussy.
    Kim – Well, good luck getting near it again.
    Jonathon – We will see.  You need me.
    Kim – Touché.
    She puts the phone down, smiling. She grabs a bra and panties before dropping her towel to put them on. After she slides them on, she grabs her blue jean capris and a t-shirt.  Throwing them on, her phone dings again.
    Emerson – I hope you have a great day, I can’t wait for our trip.
    She smiles while reading it.  She keeps trying to remind herself that this is a partnership but both men carry traits that she could easily fall for—is easily falling for.  She sighs and types out a message.
    Kimberly – I am excited, see you tonight.
    She grabs her keys and walks to the car.  She starts the car and puts it into reverse and backs out of her drive.  She laughs seeing Mrs. Patty pick Lucas up in fear that she will run over the poor pug.  Ever since the incident, people scurry when they see her coming in her vehicle. She makes the drive through town fairly
