Memphis Moon

Chapter One

It's September and beautiful in Memphis. Heading to the Liberty Bowl for tailgating, so I had to make a quick stop. As I pulled in to the parking lot, I looked up and saw the most beautiful man I had ever seen in my entire life. Charese my bestie told me to stop drooling and say something. But I couldn't move, I just stared. Then he suddenly started walking towards me and said, "you will be my wife", and walked away!

What in the hell had just happened? I watched him walk into the store and Charese just started to laugh. I had to go in and find out what was this guy on? We met in the center isle and he has the biggest smile on his face, as if he knew what I was about to say. I said, excuse me sir! I don't even know you and you are claiming me? You must be the stalker type? He just laughed, and said no. I know you are the woman I need in my life forever!

I was breathless at that very moment and thought I was about to pass out. Tall at least 6'1, very handsome, his body from what I could see looked as if it was chiseled by Gods, and hazel eyes. What a package I had before me. Kol Martin and it will be my pleasure. He walked me back to the car and said call me later. Charese wanted to know what happed to the snacks!

Charese and I were talking about our plans for the weekend and my phone rang and it was Kol. He wanted me to come over later and hang with out with him and his friends. Kol was visiting from Chicago and was only in town for the famous Southern Heritage Classic game between Jackson State and Tennessee State.

At first I wanted to go thinking what could happen and Charese reminded me plenty could happen, saying you don't even know him. For some reason I just knew I would be ok with him. Besides with my locater on my phone, and passing his information on to Charese I felt like I would be safe with him. I didn't care and thought to myself, live a little; I was so tired of the Memphis scene and the men here.

I decided to go and see him anyway and I was going to be in Chicago in two weeks for our annual girl's trip anyway. We talked for a while and seemed to have so much in common and before we realize it, it was midnight. Kol was going to be here one more day so we decided to spend it together. I blew off my plans with the girls and we did everything we could in those few hours. His plane didn't leave until 7:00 that night so we had all day. I took him around Memphis to see some of our most beautiful sites.

We went downtown to the riverfront to enjoy the sun. Took a quick tour on the Memphis Queen Riverboat at Beale Street Landings. We visited the Slave Haven, it had originals from when hundreds crossed over through Memphis. The Civil Rights Museum, walking through history! We had a great time and I began to feel like I had known him forever.

The time came to get Kol to the airport. He friends would be waiting. We had placed all of his things in my car so we could spend every second together. His friends that we ditched were already at Memphis International. When it was time for him to leave, he asked for a kiss goodbye.... I was wondering how long it was going to take him to get to this point! When Kol kissed me, I felt like a vixen! It was like nothing else I had ever felt, and I melted in his arms.

The way he held me was beautiful. His arms swirled around my waist. It was strong and loving at the same time. When he let go, I felt like I was floating in a euphoric state! I was in pure lust and I wanted more. I hadn't told him I would be in Chicago in two weeks yet because I really didn't know if I would want to see him again. But after that kiss, I had to tell him in hopes he would want to see me. Kol was happy with my news or so it seemed, and he told me he couldn't wait to see me again! No one had ever had an impact on me like Kol did. I slowly went back to my girls after his plane took off needing something to lighten me up until I could speak to him. The girls met me for a late dinner and they drilled the crap out of me and wanted to know every move we made. Damn my friends were nosey! Charese, Tammy, and Lindsey were asking me so many questions, I couldn't get one answer out before the next question was asked.
