Tippa slept peacefully and late into the morning. When she opened her eyes, a smile was already planted on her face. She could feel gladness greeting her awakening. It was the weekend, and she didn't have to go to work. The tribute to her happiness is the sensuous night she was introduced to by something called a "sexy nightcap."The feelings of small flames are still glowing like ambers lingering inside her body this morning. Tippa couldn't stop herself from smiling as she lay in bed. This is her first good night's rest in months. Not wanting the feeling to end, nor wanting to admittedly give credit to the much-needed releases that Ross bestowed upon her deprived flesh. Those electrifying hands melted away months of tension in one night. Tippa tried hard not to think about what her body and mind had experienced. It was too unbelievable for her to even comprehend."How was it possible just listening to someone's voice and you experience a fully clothed orgasm? Preposterous..." She says
Ross had left graduation practice and immediately went to look for Tippa with no success. When he exited the elevator into the parking garage, there she was walking on the opposite side of the garage. Seeing Tippa made him smile as he began calling her name.“Tippa!” But she didn’t hear him as she kept walking toward the exit door. Ross, for a minute, was mesmerized by her incredible figure. Her in those high heels and jeans, that hugged her body just right. Although it wasn’t her beauty that stopped his breath, it was her eyes. She had the most beautiful doe-shaped eyes he’d ever seen. They were the deepest color of brown. But as he watched her face and body language, he could tell something was wrong. Even at some distance Ross could see she looked distraught. Ross immediately became concerned; he had an irrational desire to fix whatever was wrong. She was walking and almost running toward the exit door with all her belongings in her arms. So, he got in his car to catch up with h
Tippa felt all she had left was her vibrant personality to get her through this trial, but it wasn’t easy. Being fired from a job was difficult; she had never been fired before, and it was unjust. She had very little to be cheerful about. Her funds were meager, and her job hunt continued longer than she hoped. But whenever Tippa spoke to her family, she needed to sound as normal as possible when her auntie Lacey would call to see how things were going.“Sweetie, this is Aunt Lacey. I have been worried about you working for those people at Kincaid Medical. How is work going? Has everything been okay?” “It’s going well. Don’t worry, Aunt Lacy, I'm a big girl, and I can care for myself.” Tippa lied and silently asked for forgiveness.“I’m happy to hear that. You know Tippa. I want to advise you not to stop looking for work elsewhere. I want you to work somewhere you can be happy doing something more aligned with your goals and dreams. Do you understand?”“Yes, I’ll keep that in mind, Aun
Weeks went by, and before long, it came down to days. Tippa had no idea what she was going to do. She slowly was losing herself in sadness, the type of sorrow she felt when she lost her parents. Tippa fought hard to recover from what felt like an unending sadness. But she held onto her father's words, who told her she was like a bright, shining star that could never be dimmed. “I can’t give up; something will come true, I know it will…” Tippa stated, wiping her tears away even though the end of the month was fast approaching.Several days later, a breakthrough finally came. It occurred one week before the end of the month when her rent and all bills were due. Tippa got a job offer! Not only that, but it pays once a week! That news alone almost brought her to tears, not because it was her dream job but because she had never felt so much pressure in all her life. Tippa realized that under the care of her parents when they were alive, she never knew how cruel and brutal life could be in
When Ross Kincaid looks up at the waitress to give her his order, Tippa was stunned! Her innocent, unguarded eyelids blinked a mile a minute.“Tippa! What on earth are you doing here?” Ross states, coolly surprised. It took everything in her power to hold it together. Her mind immediately began to spin with mixed feelings. She had worked so hard to put this exquisite-looking guy out of her mind, and now he’s here. Tippa looked discreetly around the restaurant to see if any eyes were on them. She took a deep breath. Thinking, “stay focused on your job.” When Tippa found her voice, she repeated, knowing professionalism should come first. But on the edge of her lips was the question of the night. What is he doing here? Is this a Kincaid event? Is someone in the Kincaid family spying on me again?" She asked herself, trying to contain her nerves. No, I’m going to focus on doing my job.” So, Tippa repeats.“May I take your order?" Ross smiled, “Okay”. He said softly, realizing she wasn't
Tippa was floored as she stood there, lost for words and specific actions. She was flattered, yes. But at the same time, all Tippa could think, "This man must be used to airheaded women who fall at his feet. She knew for sure he came from wealth by the bottle of wine and the meal for two he had just ordered. It was nearly $200.00."Sir, thank you for the offer, but I must pass. So, I will not be bringing my manager to speak to you about your dinner offer. Now, would you like to order that steak or something else?" She said, smiling.Ross sighed, closing his eyelids slowly, allowing the dark, almost unnaturally long lashes to sweep under his eyes as his fingers gently rubbed his lids. Then, he gradually opened his dark, slanted eyes, giving her a smoldering look, which she was sure was his first move in operation to change her mind. She fell for his charming ways once, but not this time.While observing him, Tippa's hands eased into her apron's front pockets as she tried to be patient a
Chapter 14 - Ross's PerspectiveRoss enjoyed seeing Tippa again his heart felt light and his mind kept reflecting on that night they came back together again. And he felt like a new man after meeting Tippa again. The excitement Ross discovers leaves a mark that he will never forget in his heart. Seeing her again was so unexpected, yet it felt like it was meant to be. So, quickly, one drink turned into two, and over drinks, he knew she was someone he wanted to spend more time with. But he knew he had to confront his parents over the last incident and find out why they viewed Tippa as a threat. As a young boy, Ross has always complied with his parents' wishes. He wanted to be a good doctor who could save as many lives as possible. But he also knew his parents had far bigger dreams and aspirations for him. They wanted him to think bigger than being a doctor. They wanted him to run the hospitals and clinics they owned around New York. But Ross knew he never wanted to be controlled, and he
Ross was more determined to do what he wanted; he called Tippa. She didn't go easy on him or make it easy for him to be back in her company; She couldn't allow herself to think with her heart but her sensibilities. She couldn't risk losing her job again over a man she barely knew. After being grilled with one question after another, Ross took the challenge and asked her. “Would you like to go out with me, Tippa?” “Well, I do, but…will I be taking another risk that will cost me my livelihood?” She asked again, sighing.“I told you, I had a conversation with my parents, and I made it clear to Tippa how I felt about what they did and that I have different views on how I want to live my life. So, will you go out with me?”She wondered, 'Will I be able to ignore one of the most handsome men who has ever shown me attention for the first time? Is he seriously interested, as confessed? Should I give in and examine him beyond phone calls to see if there's something more there between the two
