So Sudden

Chapter 2

"Are you okay," the strange man asked Joey. She pushed herself away from him and began to gather herself from the floor. She made sure not to take her eyes off of Him.

"My name is Devan," the man said.

Oh wow. His voice is even sexy.
Joey wasn't sure I exactly what to do next. She wanted to run but she couldn't tell her legs to move. Her mind was too busy sorting out the mixed feelings that were causing her mind and body to conflict with each other.

"How'd you get into my house," she blurted out.

"Talisha told me to come help you bring your bags to the truck," he stated,"she said you'd probably needed more help than she was willing to provide you with." Devan glanced over to her bags that were now spread across the hallway floor.

Joey began to feel relieved, but that only lasted for a second. She pulled out her phone to call Talisha.

"Hel...."

"How do you feel its ok to just send somebody in my shit?"

Talisha burst out laughing on the other end of the phone.

"I figured you would like my surprise." Joey watched as Devan began to gather her bags off the floor. His chocolate skin looking like a snack as the light from Joeys glass windows hit his body.

"He fine as hell, ain't he guhl," Talisha yelled loudly intonthe speaker breaking Joey from the trance she'd gotten caught in.

"Girl, get yo ass in here, I don't know this man," Joey yelled before she hung up the phone..

Devan turned around and faced Joey. They made eye contact for a moment but Joey turned away. His eyes were so inviting.

"I apologize for coming in your home, without your permission. I thought your friend let you know that I was coming to help," he said as he handed her her purse.

"I'd be pissed to, if some chick I didnt know walked into my crib uninvited. Although, if she was pretty as you, I might reclaim my religion and thank God."

Joey just stared. She wasn't trying to be rude, but she was still upset that Talisha had sent someone into her home. Joey had major anxiety issues and her home and office were her safe haven.

"I'm sorry, I'm just rambling. I do that when I'm nervous or in the company of a beautiful woman," Devan said as he looked Joey up and down," I hope this doesn't cause any problems during our time in New Orleans."

"You're going To New Orleans with us," Joey asked just as Talisha walked up next to her.
