temptation or salvation

chapter 1

It's a Sunday and Pastor craig just finished up his Sermon. And now everyone is either getting ready to head home or are Having conversations at the door.craig was making his way to the front door to speak and say goodbye to the people heading home. A young woman made her way towards him with a big smile on her face

"I enjoyed your sermon today pastor Craig!"

"Thank you miss Chase, I'm glad you enjoyed it."

"Yes, and usually I'm not into churches they're usually boring and I used to hate going so much..but you somehow seemed to make church appear more bearable. It makes me want to learn more!"

"Well I'm glad that I could help you get your spark back into religion"

"Yes"the young lady says
She shoved her hands in her pockets

"And there are things that I would like to know more about, and so I was thinking that if you would like have the time to one day,speak with me you know like a one on one bible study??"

Craig wanted to laugh he knew what she was trying to say. Miss chase isn't good at hiding the fact that she has a crush on him. Craig could see right through her little good girl
Persona. But instead of confronting and ending up possibly embarrassing her he just went along with it.

"Sure." he told her.
He could see her face light up as soon as he said it

"R-really!?"

"Yes I can help you with whatever questions you need"

"Oh really that's great!" the woman spoke trying her hardest not to jump around like an idiot

"Yeah how does tomorrow sound?"

"Tomorrow sounds wonderful...um my place or yours?I mean not that it matters or anything but I wouldn't mind it being at my place"

"Okay tomorrow at yours it is then"

"Ok..Oh wait!"she shouted before reaching into her pocket and pulling out a pen and small sheet of paper, she started writing before passing the paper to him.

"It's My adress that way you won't be wondering around town"

"Thank you miss chase"

"You're very welcome. I'll see you tomorrow pastor!" the young woman spoke before heading off to her car

Craig chuckled a bit before putting the
Address into his pocket. He made his way over to his car unlocking the door and getting in.he started the car and started making his way home.
Once he was home he made his way to the bathroom getting undressed and tossing his dirty clothes off to the side turning on the shower and stepping in.
After a few minutes of getting cleaned he made his way to his room finding. Some clothes to wear.for the day. He had a few errands to do that would keep him occupied and when he get home he'd have the rest of the day to himself.

The next day craigs alarm rung he tiredly opened his eyed reaching for his phone turning it off.laying in bed a few minutes longer trying to fully wake himself up.he sat up in bed streaching and began to whipe the sleep out of his eyes.

He got out of bed and pulled out some fresh new clothes to wear for today. He got dressed

Picking up the adress miss chase gave him he made his way out. Of the house and got into his car. Looking at the adress he started making his way over to miss chase house.
once there he knocked on her door and waited for an answer.it wasn't long before the door flew open revealing miss chase

"Pastor craig it's so nice to see you,um please come in!" she stepped out of the way allowing craig to come in

"It's nice to see you too miss chase"

She closed the door and walked In front of him please call me Sylvia!"she spoke before they both headed into the living room. Craig
Took a seat on the couch while Sylvia left the room coming back with some snacks and her bible she placed it all on the table before sitting down.

"It really is nice of you to come here and talk about the bilble and stuff..I really appreciate it"

"No problem..now do you have any questions you wanted to ask about the. Bible or religio?"

"Well actually i don't really have anything in particular to talk about um..you could just start off on what you think is important topic and I'll listsen if that's okay"

"Sure you see...." craig began talking and sylvia stared smiling pretending that she was actually listening to every word that craig was saying but in reality she was just admiring him.

Craig was finished talking

"Wow that's interesting" she spoke

"Well the bible is an interesting piece if work"

"It truly is I've learned so much today!"

"Glad to hear"

She picked up her bowl of popcorn

"Want some?"

"Oh no thanks I'm good" he answered flipping through the pages of the bible
She shrugged and continued to eat.

"You know I really enjoy your company here..you know how to make a place feel lively"

"Oh?"

"Yeah it's like you bring this feeling of comfort around you everywhere you go."

"Well I try to be as friendly and as approachable as possible"

"Well you're approachable alright"
She said leaing back on the couch eating some more of her popcorn

"Hey I was thinking..and I know that this is probably to much to ask but would you like to go out and eat with me someday?"

"Go out like a date?"

"No I'm not saying like a date just getting something to eat and hang out you know just like friends!" She yelled

The raven chuckled

"I guess if I have the time then maybe one day we can go get something to eat you know like a "friend" thing"

She bowed her head to try to hide the fact that she was blushing

"You don't have to put the emphasis on the word friend like that"

The raven chuckled
"Sorry I won't...but seriously if I have the time I'd let you know and we can get something to eat"

"Okay"

"Okay..now are you ready to get to learning or are we still talking about other things unrelated?"

"We'll read,let's read!"

She said snatching up her bible from the table
And flipping through the pages until She was on the same page craig was on.
