Running Away From Love by Jessica Tamara Read Free Book Online

thought about calling him to see what he had been up too. I will admit that being in the same city with him has certainly begun to peak my curiosity. I wanted to tell him about my job. He knew it was a dream of mine to work at a magazine. I’ve missed him not only as my lover, but also as one of my best friends. But shit I have pride and it’s painfully obvious he really isn’t thinking about me. So I put my phone down and decided against calling him. I turned on my stereo which played my Jagged Edge playlist on my iPad. I really needed to relax so I lit some lavender and vanilla scented candles throughout my apartment, and decided to take a nice hot bubble bath. Music and a bath always seemed to ease, and calm my nerves. I pinned my hair up off my shoulders peeled off my clothes, and sunk into my hot bubble bath attempting to relax myself.
                  Just as I was beginning to relax my phone rang. As I looked at the caller id I didn’t recognize the number at all. I answered with a reluctant hello. The male voice on the other end I didn’t recognize at all either. So I was pretty sure they must have had the wrong number.
    “Is this Jasmine?” a man’s voice on the other end said.
    “Yes, this is she. Who is this?”
    The man laughed as he said “This is the man who saved you from your big fall earlier today.” I sat up straight in the bathtub at the realization of who I was talking to. I didn’t expect him to call this soon, or even call at all.
    Laughing I said, “I already said thank you for that earlier today. So what do I owe the pleasure of receiving a phone call from you so soon?”
    “Believe me sweetheart,” he said flirtatiously, “the pleasure was all mine. To be honest, I can’t get your beautiful face out of my mind. I can still smell your perfume on my clothes from when I caught you in my arms. I’m calling because I was wondering if you would want to go out with me tonight.”
    “Well, this actually is my first official day as a New Yorker, and I was looking to see the city a little bit.”
    “Well, seeing as how this is your first official day in the city, you have to let me take you out. I can be your tour guide for the night.”
                  I haven’t been in the company of a man in a while, and it has been even longer since I had one sexing me. I mean I had my little flings with guys I dated, but it was never the memorable sex my body was craving. I could most definitely go for someone who could scratch this sex itch that has been driving me insane. And if I remembered Q’s sexy ass right, he was most definitely a good man to start with. But I wasn’t going to give in that easily. I was curious to see if he was willing to work a little bit for my company tonight.
    “I have a lot of unpacking and organizing to do, so I don’t know if I can do anything tonight,” I said hesitantly.
    “Come on, beautiful,” he purred. “I’ve been thinking about you all day. Are you really going to shut me down like that?”
    I sat silent for a moment. Before I could say anything else he said, “Okay, what if I promise you that if you come out with me tonight, I will help you with anything you need tomorrow.”
    I paused for a minute not sure if I really wanted to accept his invitation or not.
    He broke the silence. “So, Jasmine, is that a yes? I really don’t want to hear you say no.”
    I laughed and caved. “Okay, I accept your invitation, but you better help me unpack my stuff tomorrow.”
    He laughed. “Don’t worry I’m a man of my word, sweetheart. So how about I pick you up at about eight o’clock tonight.”
    I agreed and gave him my address. After we hung up, I called London and told her who I was going out with, and gave her all his info just in case he turned out to be a damn psycho. I’m lonely, not stupid!
                  London was excited that I had a date. She had been nagging me over my dating situation. She still thinks I’m
