Celine Washington is a strong independent black woman who doesn't take shit from anybody. She makes her own money working at a prestigious law firm, hard-working, self-assured, and in full control of her life. She trained herself to be that way with all that life has thrown at her. Chris Anthony is the Wide Receiver of the New York Giants. He is known as one of the best at his position, just recently coming off the high of winning a Super Bowl. As cocky, self-centered, and occasionally immature he was, women flocked to him like flies and he was perfectly fine with it. The media dubbing him as a ladies man and trouble maker. He wasn't looking to settle down and he definitely didn't want kids. His lifestyle did not permit it and neither was he ready for it. Celine, on the other hand, has recently began to crave for those things after seeing her younger sister, Nadia, get engaged and have a kid of her own. After turning down Chris' advances on multiple occasions, Celine finally agrees on an offer to spend one night with him. After that she'd hope to never see him again. That is until Celine and Chris find themselves in quite the predicament. 🥀 Mature Audiences Only ----------------------------------- {Until I Found You Spin-Off} I'd strongly recommend you read Until I Found You first to get a better grasp of this story, but you don't have to. ------------------------------------ © 2018 Summerdreamin / N.A.
