was on board.

“Daddy, I’ll be in the truck.” Lakelyn glared at me before storming off the field. The view of her tight, round ass was perfect, until Michael from the opposing team caught up with her. He slinked his big arm over her shoulder. My fist curled at my side.

Dating each other was out of the question. Didn’t mean we enjoyed seeing the other romantically linked to another. The thought of going off to college next year and not seeing her face every day squeezed my heart like a grape. I’d return home every weekend if I had to, just to see her beautiful face.

A HERO’S LOVE

ETHAN

“EXCUSE ME, SIR, CAN I place an order?”

Abe glanced over his shoulder at the chocolate woman who slipped into a seat at my left.

“Sure thing. One moment.”

The woman's dark eyes were fixated on the TV. I was trying not to stare, but it was next to impossible. Her black coily hair fell below her shoulders. She stood momentarily, removing her pink three-quarter-length pea coat. I should probably say something instead of staring.

“Hi, what are you drinking tonight?”

Blankly, she glared at me. “Hello, I plan to drink a Cosmo. But I can order my own drink. Thanks anyway.” She offered a weak smile.

“You’re welcome.”

The cleavage of her purple blouse was begging my eyes for attention. Once her eyes fell back on the TV screen, I peeked at her sexy cleavage, then I lowered my eyes, glaring at her black pencil skirt.

“Are you done?” she asked, not tearing her eyes away from the TV.

My heart skipped a beat. I gawked at my reflection in the mirror, I turned a light shade of red.

“I apologize. I didn’t mean to stare. I’m sure you’re aware of how beautiful you are. Men probably stare often.”

The ends of her lips turned up a bit then dropped. Her dark eyes met my blue eyes. “It’s rude to stare.”

“It is.” I extended my hand toward her. “Ethan Daniels.”

Her soft hand palmed mine. “Malaysia Newton.”

I flashed a wide smile, showing all my pearly whites.

“Nice to meet you, Malaysia. Pretty name.”

“Thank you.”

I glanced to my right. “Tim and Bill, I’d like to introduce you to Malaysia.”

Bill and Tim waved. “Hello, Malaysia.”

“Hello, nice meeting you both,” she replied.

Abe approached the counter. “What would you like to order, miss?”

“Abe, she will have a Cosmo. Whatever else she’s ordering add to my tab.”

Abe winked at me and smiled. He turned his attention back to Malaysia. “All right. Miss, would you like to see a menu?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll grab your drink in the meantime.”

She smiled.

“Ethan, is it?”

I tried to hold back the laughter. She knew my name. “Yes.”

“That wasn’t necessary. But thank you.”

I placed my hand on my broad chest. “It’s my pleasure.”

I didn’t want to crowd her. I turned my attention to Tim. “Any special plans this weekend?”

Tim sipped his beer. “If sleep counts, yes.”

We both laughed.

“Are you working this weekend?”

“Yeah, tomorrow at ten in the morning. Off Sunday. Not sure the last time I had a weekend off.” I rubbed my brow, trying to remember.

“If you can’t remember, Ethan, it’s been too long.”

“Agreed.”

Bill rose to his feet, tossing a few bills on the bar countertop. “Gentleman, have a good night. Malaysia, enjoy your evening.”

“You, too.”

Bill waved. “Ethan, I will see you at work tomorrow.”

“Be safe, Bill. See you tomorrow.”

Abe returned, placing a steaming hot plate before Malaysia. She’d ordered grill chicken, broccoli, and a baked potato.

“Ethan, here is your meal. You both enjoy.”

“Thank you,” Malaysia and I responded, respectively.

She rocked the knife back and forth, separating the chicken into squares. Malaysia slipped the meat past her purple-colored lips. My tongue slid forward in an effort to lick my lips. I needed to stop watching her in a lustful manner. I was sure it was creepy. It was obvious I was attracted to her. Very seldom did I enjoy the smell of roses. I couldn’t recollect the last time I’d had sex. Apparently, it wasn’t that memorable if I couldn’t remember.

“Um, just as good as it was for lunch the other day.” She smiled. Her beautiful oval eyes made contact with mine.

I cleared my throat to find my voice. “Do you come here often?”

“No, early this week a few coworkers wanted to try someplace new. The food is pretty good.”

“Are you a fixture on the wall?” She gestured.

“No, but police officers, firefighters, and doctors frequent the bar.”

I placed a sliver of steak into my mouth.

“Do you fall into that category?” she asked.

I grinned. “Yes.”

“Excuse me, Dr. Daniels.” Tim’s heavy hand patted my shoulder.

“Tim, leaving so soon?”

He shrugged on his jacket. “I have a date with my bed.”

I laughed. “Good seeing you. See you next time.”

“Malaysia, have a good night. Don’t let Ethan, get you into trouble.”

“I won’t.”

I glared at Tim. “What the fuck!” I mouthed.

Tim chuckled, turned on his heels, then walked away.

I smirked. “Malaysia, don’t listen to Tim. I’m not trouble.”

I glanced toward the other end of the bar. I didn’t wait for Malaysia to respond. I needed to change the subject. Abe was taking another order. He strolled back to the computer. “Abe, when you get a moment.”

“Sure, Ethan, I’ll be right over.

Malaysia and I ate in silence. Laughter and loud chatter surrounded around us.

“Ethan, what can I get for you?”

“Abe, please bring Malaysia and I another drink.”

“Two Cosmos coming right up.” He snickered.

Malaysia and I chuckled.

“You said you aren’t trouble but you want to keep my drinks flowing?”

I smiled. “Relaxed, yes. Drunk, no.”

Her eyebrows rose. “Relaxed?”

I ran my hand over my stubbled face. “Malaysia, we are just talking. Unless you had something else in mind.”

We held each other’s gaze.

“Is this how you pick up women?”

“Sometimes, but I rarely take an interest in their day. How was your day?”

She sipped the new drink Abe placed in front of her.

“My day was long. How about yours, Dr. Daniels?”

I smirked over the rim of my new glass of beer. “It wasn’t the best day. I lost a patient.”

Her upward turned lips fell. “Sorry to hear that.”

“I’m supposed to be one of the best doctors in my field.”

“Let’s see what patients are saying about you on Health Grades.”

She whipped out her phone running an internet search. “Hm, it says here you are polite and you have the best bedside manner.”

We laughed.

“Oh, look at you in the stark white doctor coat. Handsome. You have that Adonis look about you. You are tall. What is your height?”

“I’m six-two.” How tall are you?”

“I’m five-five.” Can I continue?”

I nodded. “By all means.”

“You have the perfect curly blond hair, angular jawline, dreamy blue eyes, long eyelashes, and semi-slender nose. Yeah, I’d say you are just about every woman’s dream man.” She smiled arrogantly.

“But not yours. What is it? You don’t date white men?”

“It’s not that. I don’t have time to date. I’m financially assisting my family right now. Maybe one day my knight in shining armor can sweep me off my feet. However, it isn’t now.”

“I understand. I was telling Tim I don’t remember the last time I had the weekend off. My schedule is demanding. I don’t have time for a woman.”

Malaysia pushed her plate forward, bringing her half glass of Cosmo closer. “What about the occasional hookup?” She stared into her glass.

“I’d make time for the occasional hook up with you.”
