pressed her contact name. On the first ring, she picked up. “Hi. How are you?” Stephanie said, a little out of breath. “I’m fine and you?” Brian got into his car and started the engine. “I was greeted with a nice surprise from you and that made my day much better.” Stephanie smiled into the phone. “So you got the flowers? I was hoping that they would cheer you up. Why are you out of breath?” Brian sat in his parking space while he talked to her. “I ran from my bedroom to answer the phone because I knew it was you.” Stephanie blushed a little at her admission. “Well I wanted to give you a quick call before I head home. I’ll call you again after I shower if you’re still going to be up.” Brian was hoping for a late night call with her. Stephanie rolled her eyes. She knew that Brian didn’t talk on the phone and drive at the same time. She found that out when she called him on the road when she left Savannah. He ended their conversation quickly and she was taken aback. When she arrived home and called him again, he explained to her how many times they go to car accident scenes that are caused by the driver talking or texting on the phone. “I’ll be up. I’ve got some changes to make on my resume and a shower to get as well.” Stephanie booted up her computer. “Ok. We’ll talk again soon. Miss you.” Brian gripped his steering wheel as he was thinking of her in the shower. “I miss you too. Bye.” Stephanie stared blankly at her computer screen. “Bye baby.” Brian turned his phone off and headed west to his apartment. When he arrived home, Brian took a quick shower and then began packing a few items to take to Stephanie’s. He was anxious to get the next 4 days behind him and have her in his arms again. A week with her seemed like heaven to him. He had never wanted to spend that much time, one on one, with a woman but Stephanie was different. And his feelings seemed to intensify after she left. He didn’t know what this relationship was or where it was going but he knew they were going to have an unforgettable week together. He was sure of that.
Chapter Three
Stephanie made the final changes to her resume and added some new email addresses to her contacts list. She would email her resume out to several different school systems surrounding Columbia next week. Stephanie didn’t like the thought of driving thirty minutes or more to work but she was going to take what she could get. She shut down her laptop and headed to the bathroom to take a shower. When she finished, she would call Brian so they could talk longer. They had begun talking to each other when she was in bed. It made the distance between them seem a little shorter. And the phone calls kept getting hotter. She was embarrassed at first when he began asking her sexy questions but if their conversation led to talking dirty on the phone tonight, she was not backing down. After getting out of the shower and drying off, Stephanie put on a cream color silk chemise and applied lotion to her arms and legs. Going through her small house and making sure the lights were off and the doors were locked, Stephanie grabbed her cell phone and when to her bedroom. Sliding between the cool sheets, she pressed Brian’s contact name and put the phone to her ear. On the third ring, he answered in his deep sexy voice. “Hi baby.” “Hi. Am I calling at a bad time?” Stephanie was flipping through the channels on her flat screen TV. “No. I just got out of the shower and was putting on some boxers. Are you in bed?” Brian headed to his own bedroom and pulled the covers back. “Yes I just got in when I called you.” Stephanie settled on a channel that was playing soft rock music. “Did you get your resume finished?” Brian asked. “I did. I only had a few updates to make.” Stephanie loved
