Chapter 1

Selina sat in her chair in her salon waiting for one of her regular customers, her friend Raina. Working as a hair stylist, she loved what she did. Ever since she was little she had a knack for doing hair and today was not different. Raina walked in with the craziest idea of what she wanted done to her hair.

"Hey, girl!", Raina said as she gave Selina a tight hug. "How's it goin' "?

Selina took a deep sigh. "Oh, the usual. Just sitting alone in my house with my cat and watching The Notebook over and over again, while eating out of a tub of chocolate ice cream with walnuts and brownies. The same old usual."

Selina hadn't been in a relationship for two years. She has had terrible trust issues with each of her exes. Either she wasn't pretty enough, thin enough, or didn't satifisy her significant other enough. She was done with the abuse and vowed to never go back down that road again.

"Selina, it's been two years since you last went out. I think it's time for you to start again", Raina said, pulling a water bottle out of her purse and drinking it. "As a matter of fact, you need to go get your car don't you? From the mechanic shop down the street. You should ask one of the guys out, no?"

Selina stared wide eyed at Raina as if she had one hundred heads on her body. "The hell are you talking about? You KNOW how each of my other previous relationships ended! Why would I want to go back to being abused and humiliated again? I am NOT going back down that road."

"You gave up to easily. I understood you had to take time to pull yourself together but it's been TWO YEARS! 730 DAYS! You MUST get back out there. I'm sure you'll find somebody. Now, let's go get your car."

Raina drove Selina down to the local mechanic shop in town. The service was pretty good and the prices were reasonable. Not to mention, Selina DID hear about a new employee who some called trouble. But Selina didn't look too much into it. She entered the shop and tapped on the bell, waiting to be served. Five minutes later, a man walked in. Selina was quite taken aback by his appearance. He appeared to be 6 ft. 1 and had short but shaggy brownish hair. His eyes were a beautiful greenish blue that were piercing through Selina as she stood there. She was distracted by his good looks she completely forgot she was there to pick up her car. The muscles on this man was equally distracting, not to mention.

Selina finally came back to her senses when she realized she was staring way to hard at the man.

"Hello", Selina managed to sputter out. "I'm here to pick up my car. The red Volkswagen Beetle?"

"Sure thing, miss", the handsome man said. "I'll bring your car out in front for you.

"Thank you", Selina said.

"No problem."

Selina stepped back outside with a thousand thoughts racing through her mind. Was Raina right about what she said earlier? Would it be time for her to go back out again? Could this man be the one she was looking for?

Selina hadn't noticed the handsome man had pulled her Beetle back out into the front of the mechanic shop.

"Here you go ma'am, she's all ready," the man said.

Selina looked at him for a bit. "If you don't mind me asking, what is your name? I heard they had hired someone new down here?"

The man smiled a beautiful smile. "My name is Jonathon. Jonathon Good. I am the new man that they hired down here. What is your name, pretty lady?"

Selina blushed. "My name is Selina Estelle Morrison."

"Selina Estelle Morrison. I love that name," Jonathon said. "You can call me Jon for short. Would you like to go out for coffee? My shift just ended, if that's ok with you?"

Selina did not think this through when she blurted out "Yes, that would be fantastic."

"Okay, let me grab my things."

Soon, Selina and Jon were sitting across from each other, stirring their coffee. Selina could not believe how quickly she said yes to this date. But Jon seemed like a nice guy though. He had a little scruffy beard going on, but that made him look better. Not to mention sexy as hell.

"You know, I've seen you around before", Jon said, looking at Selina. "You work at the beauty salon, don't you?"

"Yes I do. I love what I do. Don't know what I would do without it!", Selina exclaimed. "What about you? Do you enjoy your career as a mechanic?"

Jon took a drink of his coffee. "Yes, I sure do. It keeps money in my wallet and pocket and it keeps my bills paid." He gave her a slight smile.

"That's good to hear!", Selina said. She looked down into her coffee cup again, a question burning her on the inside. Of course, they only met each other that day...but it STILL couldn't hurt to ask, right? Selina than mustered up courage to ask the question she needed to ask before she would burst into flames.

"Would you like to come over to my house?", Selina said, almost inaudibly.

Jon smiled. "Of course, I would love that. Everything is on me. Let's get outta here."
