Chapter 2Derek’s pov
My buddy Jake keeps hounding me to go to the club with him. He says it’s time to get over Beth, and he’s right. All she ever did was bring me heartache. She was gorgeous and she knew it. She didn’t fool anyone but me. I no longer loved her, but I wasn’t sure I was ready to date again.
It seemed as if all the women I met were all the same. Didn’t anyone believe in being faithful anymore? I just wanted one good woman. I didn’t care how she looked as long as she was good to him. I decided to take Jake up on the offer. I mean what could it hurt?
I got to the club and found Jake. Once I was seated, I looked around. This was not a normal club. All the women had curves.
“Jake what club is this?”
“It’s a club for men that like some meat on their women.”
I smiled at that idea. This was defiantly different from what I’m used to. I looked out to the dance floor, and my mouth dropped. This incredibly sexy woman was looking at me. She had curves in all the right spots. Watching her move was turning me on. I decided to walk down and see if she maybe wanted to dance.
“Hi, I was wondering would you like to dance. I’m Derek.”
“I’m Layla and sure.”
A fast song came on as she started to grind on me. In this moment I was happier then I had been in a long time. Hell, Beth never made me feel like this and she was a famous model. This girl was confident, but not conceited. I found that very sexy.
After four dances her friends started calling her back to the table. I didn’t want to let her go, but I knew they wanted to talk to her. I hesitantly walked back to where Jake was. He smiled at me and I just laughed. I was so glad he suggested this place.
Layla walked over to my table and put something on it. Then she gave me a kiss on the cheek and said bye. I picked it up and saw it was her number. I put it in my pocket and couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. Was I ready to try my heart at love again? Could Layla be just what I need?
I hurried to put her number in my phone because no way did, I want to lose it. This was a woman I needed in my life. I decided to text her because well who says you have to wait two days to show a woman you’re interested? If I didn’t snatch her up some other guy would. She was just that damn beautiful.
(Hello beautiful this is Derek from the club just wanted to say goodnight.)
(Well hello there handsome.)
(Did you make it home safely?)
(Yes, thank you for asking. How’s the club?)
(I left right after you did.)
She didn’t text me back and that made me nervous. Maybe she just fell asleep. I didn’t think I had said anything wrong. I know Beth always made me feel like I couldn’t do or say anything right. So now I was nervous even putting myself out there again.
(Did you not like the club?)
(I liked the club but once the sexiest woman in there left it wasn’t any fun.)
(Your such a charmer.)
(I just think a woman should be complemented.)
(Well then, your mama raised you right. I would love to talk more handsome, but I have a long day ahead of me and need to get my beauty sleep.)
(Sweet dreams beautiful.)
I wanted to ask when I could see her again, but I chickened out. This woman really intimidated me. I am not used to all these feelings. Most women just threw themselves at me because I am a fighter and they like all that came with. I could tell this woman was different. She intrigued me and made me nervous all at the same time.
(So, all you’re going to say is sweet dreams huh?)
Damn she was so feisty, but I loved it. A woman like this would keep me on my feet that’s for sure. I needed to see her again. I wanted to take her out and spend some time with her. After texting with her I realized my heart was open for love and I was ready to try again. As long as I could have this beautiful woman in my life that is.
