Papyrus Author, Inc. - Virginia Beach Preface Breakups are always the worse. Has there ever been a good breakup Sylvia Taylor asked herself. Six years, she had spent six years with this man and to find out the last three of that he had been seeing someone else. That was half of their relationship. They had been living together for the last four of those six years. Looking back, maybe she should have seen the signs. But she had built her retail business from the ground up and now at thirty-one she owned four locations throughout central Florida. She had been too busy to see that he was cheating. When she started the business, he was her biggest supporter. He always pushed her to be successful. Now all she could think about is never to let anyone back into that space of her heart. If she didn’t let anyone in, they couldn’t break it, not even her high school crush Wes Hamilton. Wes Hamilton set in his office staring out the window waiting for his foreman to come in for their morning meeting. He had spent four years building his construction business. When he stepped out and quit his nine to five job to chase his dream, his wife had left him for a doctor. She had always seemed to be more into the money he was making than him and their marriage, but he never knew how much until she had to change her spending habits until the business was turning a profit. She left a bad taste in his mouth for relationships. He didn’t mind the occasional dating, hanging out and having s*x, but commitment, especially marriage was out of the question. So, when Sylvia Taylor, an old high school friend had hit him up on f******k about his motorcycle, he immediately had asked her to come down sometime, and they could hang out and ride. He knew the high school crush he had on her was long gone by now. Back in the 1990s there was still an uncertainty of whether someone would even be interested in an interracial relationship. When he realized she was one of the women that saw love for love, she was already dating someone else. He never had the chance to tell her how he felt about her so a no feelings attached; occasional hook up would be perfect since they had already discussed that neither of them was looking for a relationship.
