Sample Sunday: Our Love
Hi everyone! Here is another excerpt from Our Love, which will be re-released soon! This is from Michael’s POV.
Being around Charlie was so relaxing. I loved just hearing her talk, seeing her smile, and looking into her mesmerizing eyes. When I called to ask if she wanted to see me, I didn’t know if she would agree, but to my surprise, she did. As I watched her climb down the ladder, it seemed like she knew the routine all too well. I wondered if she had done the sneaking out thing with her other boyfriends.
It was way after-hours, but I knew a secluded spot we could go to so we wouldn’t get caught. White Park was the place for couples to come to be alone, make out, and do other things. Tonight, all I wanted to do was be around Charlie and get to know her better. When we arrived, I pulled my car into a secluded area behind some trees, put the car in park, and turned the engine off. I changed the radio station and kept it on so we could hear some music. I got out of the car and went out into the mid-October night, taking in the cool breeze of fall. I went around to the passenger’s side, opened the door, and took Charlie’s hand as she got out of the car. She closed the door, and we went over to look at the beautiful lake in front of us. The sky was kind of dark, but we noticed a few stars trying to peek out under the dim night sky. I looked at Charlie and noticed she was shivering.
“Are you cold?” I asked her.
“A little,”
I smiled and took off my jacket. I draped it over her shoulders, and she smiled.
“This is so beautiful. How did you find this place? I’ve been in Houston all my life and never knew about this.”
“I always came here growing up. Usually, this is the place couples come to be alone, but  this is my thinking place. I always come here before a big game, or if I’m thinking about something.”
“You’ve never brought Danielle here?”
“No. You’re the only person.”
Charlie grinned as she looked at the sky.
“What are you thinking about right now?”
“You. Wondering how I got so lucky to be with a beautiful girl right now.”
“Stop it. You’re making me blush,” Charlie said, looking down at the ground.
“Well, it’s true. You are so beautiful.”
She looked at me, then moved closer. We stared at each other, and I heard 104.1 KRBE was playing Rebecca Ferguson’s “Nothing’s Real but Love.” I took Charlie’s hand and looked into her brown eyes.
“You like to dance?”
She smiled and came in closer to me. It felt good to hold Charlie in my arms; it seemed like we made a perfect match. As she moved closer, I could smell the peach scent on her skin. We looked at each other with an expression that meant we really liked each other. I wanted to kiss her, but I didn’t know if it was too soon.
After staring at each other a little longer, I noticed something was dripping on my shoulder. I looked up and saw that it had started to rain. Even though it was, neither Charlie or I cared; we just kept dancing to the music. And then it happened. I figured now was the perfect opportunity to kiss Charlie. So I did. I licked my lips a little, put my hand in her hair, and gave her a soft kiss on her lips. The kiss was everything I expected it to be. Charlie was a little surprised by it, but she quickly gave in and grabbed the back of my neck. We were standing in the pouring rain, kissing each other like it was going to be our last one. Even though we’d probably be sick in the morning, we didn’t care. The only thing that mattered was that things had changed between us. And it felt pretty good.
When we finally pulled ourselves from each other, we got back in my car so I could take Charlie home. It was 12:30, so I knew I had to get back home since I had an early football meeting in the morning. The team planned to go over some plays for the big game. While I was driving, Charlie looked over at me, took my free hand and put it in hers. I gave her a hearty smile as I turned onto her street. When I parked my car on the curb, I quickly turned off the lights and radio. I suddenly became shy as I gazed at her. Even though our relationship had changed, it still felt like we were just friends. I guess because we’d only known each other for two days now.
Charlie must have been thinking the same thing, because she looked at me with a perplexed expression on her pretty face. “What does this mean?”
“I don’t know, but whatever it is, I like it.”
Charlie smiled and kissed the back of my hand. I was suddenly turned on by her lips being on my hand. I wanted to kiss her again, but I knew it was late and we both had busy mornings ahead of us.
“I’ll see you tomorrow,” I said.
“Definitely,” Charlie agreed.

Teasers- Our Love
Hi everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine’s Day. As for me, my hubby and I were at home watching the NBA All-Star activities, so that gave me time to do teasers for Our Love. Since the story will be set for re-release soon, I wanted to get everyone ready to fall in love again with Charlie and Michael (or for some of you, fall in love with them for the first time).
Here are some of the teasers. I think they look pretty good. 🙂
Our Love will be re-released soon. Check back here for the official release date! 🙂
Our Love
Happy Sunday everyone!!! As some of you may know, Our Love was the second book I released almost two years ago. Due to mixed reviews and several changes, I decided to take the book off of major sites. Now, the story might be re-released (once I receive the OK from my publisher). I have been working on it so in case I do get the official word, I can put the story back on several sites.
For the time being, here is a sample from the story when the main characters, Charlie and Michael, meet for the first time. This chapter is also from Michael’s POV.
Once I do receive the word, you all will be the first to know when it’s available for purchase. 🙂
**************************************************************************************************************
“Why do I bother coming to school?” I asked my friend Chris Matthews as I got out of my BMW 528i.
“Because you have to,” he quipped, hopping out of the passenger seat.
I started walking through the crowded parking lot of Belmont High and looked around at the same faces, wondering if anything would ever change. It’s hard being the most popular guy in school. I’m not being cocky about it; it’s how people have labeled me. As soon as I got here, I was considered the guy everyone liked. I participated in every activity Belmont offered, and I was captain of the football and basketball teams, along with being the student body president. And I still had time to maintain a 4.0 GPA. I’m not trying to brag, but there is also a list going around school, claiming I’m the hottest guy at Belmont. So, I guess I’m living the good life, huh? I am, but it gets old quickly.
As Chris and I walked to the quad, three girls who looked like sophomores came up to us. They wore huge grins on their faces.
“Hi, Michael,” they greeted in unison.
“Hey,” I said.
As I continued walking, the girls started breathing erratically, just because I said hi to them. That’s what I had a problem with: It felt like I was a freaking celebrity around here when I was just an average 17-year-old senior.
“I don’t get you, man. Girls are throwing themselves at you, and you don’t even notice,” Chris said.
“I notice. I’m just not interested.”
“Still having issues with Danielle, huh?”
I looked at him and rolled my eyes.
Danielle Peterson is my ex-girlfriend. We’d dated since freshman year and then all of a sudden, this year, she broke up with me. Rumor has it that she’s dating some guy at our rival school, Bridgewall, but it’s not like I really cared. I was going to talk to her about our relationship anyway. It seemed like nothing was the same anymore, because Danielle always thought she should be the center of attention. I hate that in a girl. It’s good to be confident in yourself, but it’s annoying when taken to the extreme. I guess that’s why girls have been throwing themselves at me; the whole school knows about the breakup. Belmont isn’t a big school, but word travels fast.
“No, I’m not still on Danielle. I’m glad things are over between us.”
“Really? You and Danielle were the perfect couple. You two had everyone around here wishing they could be like you.”
I laughed and sat down on one of the benches in the center of the quad.
“From now on, Chris, don’t mention her name to me, okay?”
“Who, Danielle?”
I looked at him and sighed. “Real funny.”
As I looked around at how beautiful the day was, I noticed someone I’d never seen walk toward the building. She was gorgeous with long, dark brown hair that fell to the upper part of her back, honey-colored skin, and nice long legs. From the side, I could tell she had a body on her. She turned her head, then looked straight at me. I looked at her with a grin so huge, it showed all my teeth. She gave me a sexy smile and walked into the building.
“Who was that?” Chris asked, curiously.
“I don’t know, but I’m about to find out.”
I got up from the bench and ran into the building. I had to find her, whoever she was. I practically ran into five people in the crowded hallway before I saw her turn the corner toward the principal’s office. I caught up with her just before she opened the door.
“Hello,” I greeted the beautiful girl in front of me.
“Hey. Were you outside a minute ago?”
“Yeah, I was.”
“My, my, you move fast,” she replied in a sexy tone.
“I do when I’m interested in something. Or someone.”
The girl smiled and moved away from the office door.
“Why have I never seen you here?”
“I don’t know. Maybe because I blend in well with the student body,” she said, smiling.
“No way. I would remember every part of you.”
She looked at me and rolled her eyes. “If that was supposed to be a pick-up line, you need to try harder.”
“No, it was not. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to say that. I guess it came out wrong.”
Her expression softened a little after I apologized. I could tell she was feeling me, just like I was feeling her.
“It’s okay. Actually, this is my first day here.”
When she said those words, I realized that I had seen her at football games. She was a cheerleader at Parker.
“Now that you said that, I have seen you around. You were a cheerleader at Parker, weren’t you?”
She looked nervous when I mentioned Parker. I guess she would since Belmont and Parker hate each other.
“Correct; head cheerleader to be exact.”
“Michael Collier,” I said, extending my hand to her.
“Charlie Perry,” the beautiful girl replied. She placed her soft hand into mine. The look she gave me made me want to know more about the mystery girl named Charlie.
“Charlie. Nice.”
“Thanks. Usually, people wonder why my parents named me that.”
“It’s different.”
“Yeah.”
“Well, since you’re new here, I could show you around campus if you want.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
The school bell rang, and everyone rushed to get to first period. Fine time for the bell to ring! I looked at Charlie; she smiled and put her hand on the doorknob.
“I’d better go so I can get my schedule.”
“See you around, Charlie.”
“I hope so,” she replied as she went into the office.
I watched her go inside with a longing look. Then, I turned around and walked to class.
Maybe Charlie was the change I’d been looking for.
