Prologue
––––––––
It’s been four yearssince Nicki and Diesel got hitched in Vegas.Three from Jacob and Dani’s fairy-tale wedding, and we are now approaching DJ’s (David Jacob) second birthday.I’ve never seen Dani so happy.My nephew is a gift for sure, he is named after his grandpa and daddy, and I adore him.
Two years sure have flown by with DJ.The older I get, the faster the years seem to slip by.
Checking my cell phone for the time, only to discover I have less than an hour to shower and meet the family across town at the carnival to kick off the celebration weekend.
Rushing through my newly decorated apartment, I begin to strip.With my black blouse in hand, I turn and stop short to glare through the bay window.
Professor Fucking Manning.
His living room window faces mine from across the alley.What a sight!Rough around the edges with his lightly bearded face and a small patch of chest hair.His chin lifts, and we make eye contact.
“Fuck!”
I quickly duck away, covering my lace bra with my blouse.Running straight into my bathroom, locking the door behind me.As if someone was chasing me, giggling uncontrollably, “busted!”I say, admitting to myself through the mirror.Tossing my shirt over my shoulder, landing it into the laundry basket.
My face flushed.I dropped my shorts and retreated behind the shower curtain to turn on the water.Once the shampoo and soap are rinsed from my hair, I quickly lather up the body gel and wash the rest of my body.I yank the curtain aside and grab two towels from the shelf above the toilet.One I wrap around my body, the other I use to help dry my hair.
Still thinking of Professor Manning and smiling at how, without knowing, I ended up renting the apartment directly across the way from him.Having , Manning, as a teacher was a pleasure.Now working and living alongside him is starting to take on a life of its own.
