Y'all want me?

Chapter 2

Lincolns POV

I walk around the building of Smith's Market as I inspect how well they keep up the property. You see we not only look at the monetary value a client has to offer but also the way they keep things up because it tells us a little more about their willingness to keep up their end of the contract and it gives us a glimpse into their character.
Just as I'm rounding the corner I look up to see a beautiful woman sitting by herself on the bench outside and I can't help but get slightly excited because she looks exactly like I pictured our woman looking. Yum. As I walk over to her I can't help but smile as she slowly lifts her head I see her eyes get huge when she sees me coming towards her, she blushes, smiles and ducks her head and I can't help but chuckle at her shyness. Yes, me and Nick have got to get to know her. I stop almost right in front of her and stick out my hand. "Hello my name is Lincoln Graham. My associate and I are looking at becoming silent partners with Mr.Smith" I say as she lifts her head back up and smiles sweetly at me. She lifts her hand to mine and I instantly feel shocks run through me. " Hi I'm Eliza Grace Thompson. Its nice to meet you. I'm glad Mr.Smith's finally going to be able to expand like he wants to, he deserves it." She says to me and I can't help but grin because of her sweet reply and her slight southern drawl. She looks at me one more time before blushing and looking back down at her phone as I bid her goodbye and head into the store to find Nick.

Eliza's POV

WOW...... I think to my self as I sit there just staring at my phone not really focusing on my Facebook any more. I try to slow down my slightly fast beating heart as I think about gorgeous number 2. Tall, dark and handsome is the only way to describe him with his light chocolate skin and his dark eyes he towered over me easily at 6'5 at least. I couldn't help but feel shocked as the tingly sensation went up my arm and right to my tummy as our hands connected in the shake. Oh well I need to try to stop thinking about them because they are way out of my league and I doubt either one of them would go for a girl like me.

Nicks POV

"I just met the most beautiful woman" I hear Lincoln say as he sits beside me in Mr. Smith's office. Mr. Smith had to go take care of a customer so it gave me and Lincoln a chance to talk for a few minutes. "Really because I recently saw the most beautiful woman standing in the store" I say as he gives me a hmmm look.  I tell him about the girl at the produce rack and he chuckles because he realizes its the same girl. "We have got to have her" He says to me and I nod in agreement. "So how do we go about doing this? I mean I don't want to scare her off nor do I want to leave her here considering We live in Nashville" I say as I run my hand through my hair and try not to stress about leaving the woman we want two states away from us.

"I've got it. We should offer her a job as our personal assistant. We could get to know her then and be able to gauge whether or not she would even be open to the relationship we want to have with her." Lincoln says to me and I can't help but think he is a genius. " That's perfect Linc, See that's why your the brains and I'm the looks of this operation hahaha" I give him a silly smirk and dodge the hand that tries to smack my head. Now to start putting our plan in motion.

An hour later ..

"Alright Mr.Smith We feel like there is great potential in your stores and we would like to offer a partnership with you. We will have a contract drawn up and be back by the end of next week to finalize our deal. " I say as I stand and shake his hand. He smiles and says "That's wonderful, my wife and I are extremely grateful for your generosity and your belief in our small company. We are looking forward to working with you both". As we turn to leave Lincoln stops and asks Mr. Smith about Eliza. " Mr. Smith you have an employee that we are quite intrigued with. Her name is Eliza Grace and we were wondering if you would be willing to give us any information on her."
"We'll let's see her name is Eliza Grace Thompson, She is 25, still lives with her mother, helps with her special needs twin nephews and her dreams are to move to Tennessee to become a country music singer but is almost too shy to sing to anyone besides her family. She loves animals and she is one of the friendliest employees I have." He replies and smiles like he knew something but is keeping it to himself. We both nod our heads and tell him we would be in touch as we thank him and head to the hotel for the evening.

Eliza's POV

Oh I'm so glad to finally be home. I will be so glad to get my old clunker of a van fixed so I don't have to ride the bus anymore. It is so tiring getting home late in the evenings and then having to help with the twins especially when one is autistic and and the other one has a few different disorders. Don't get me wrong I love them both but days like today when I'm really tired I just want to strangle my sister for doing drugs and drinking during her pregnancy ugh. Oh well I'm not one to dwell in the past so I just to get supper started and leave the past where it belongs 'in the past'. I smile as they come running in asking for a cookie and I chuckle a their sad faces when I tell them to wait until after supper. "Where's Mama boys?" I ask as they give me sad puppy dog looks still trying to get cookies. "She's in her room laying down, she was really dizzy and felt funny" Mark, the short fluffy twin says. Lee just shrugs with his usual I don't know look on his face. I just smile as I tell them to go watch and movie while I finish Supper which consisted of smothered pork chops, sautéed in butter green beans and mashed potatoes. Yum. "I wonder if Mr.Graham likes southern cooking" I think to myself then mentally scold myself for thinking about a man that I most likely will never see again. I sigh and get plates ready for the boys and myself (since mama was asleep for now) and go watch the movie with the boys. When I get in the living room of our small apartment I see that they are watching "home" oh yay one of my favorites. Lol ok time to relax and get my mind off of work, sickness and those gorgeous men that I just know are going to haunt my dreams from now on.
