name is Stephanie Quinn and we normally have a tighter reign on our little munchkins.”
“It’s no problem at all; your children are beautiful, how old are they?”
“They just turned four and they are a handful. God only knows why I’m putting myself through this again” she said with a smile.
Victoria noticed Stephanie’s baby bump.
“Congratulations how far along are you?”
“I'm five months and thank you. Well, we have taken up enough of your time. Say goodbye Gigi.”
“Goodbye Ms. Victoria,” she said in a playful child’s voice as she waved. Victoria waved back. As they walked to their table, she noticed the extremely handsome man with the same beautiful green eyes, stand as they approached. He affectionately kissed his wife’s cheek as they sat to continue their dinner.
Victoria started to feel depressed; she would never be able to have children. As a child she was diagnosed with cancer, and the side effects of the chemotherapy left her sterile. She remembered her mom crying for days when they were told. She would never know the feeling of carrying a child inside her. Adoption would be an option when and if she found the right person to settle down with.
After looking over the menu for about five minutes she noticed a very good-looking brown skinned gentleman looking around. She surmised that it was Kevin from Jacqueline's description so she took a chance and waved. Kevin smiled and walked over to the table.
“Kevin Garrett I presume?”
“Yes, and you must be Victoria Hart,” he said with a huge smile on his face not believing how extremely beautiful she was. “Jacqueline described you, but her description didn’t do you justice, you are an extremely beautiful woman.”
“Thank you Mr. Garrett.”
“Please call me Kevin.”
“Kevin, thank you for meeting with me this evening.”
“Actually Victoria, it’s my pleasure to meet with such a beautiful woman.” Victoria was blushing as she turned to look at the menu, “I hear the food here is amazing, have you ever been here before?”
“I've been here a few times, the lasagna is incredible, you should try it.”
“Sounds great to me,” Kevin signaled the waiter and gave him their orders, which included another glass of wine for Victoria.
Smiling, they made small talk about their respective families and businesses until their food arrived. Victoria was surprised to find out that Kevin was an accountant by trade but owned a fitness club and was actually working on opening a second one.
“So Jacqueline tells me you are interested in taking a trip, do you know where you want to go?” Kevin asked switching subjects.
“I'm not really sure, I just know I want to go somewhere warm and tropical and of course, all inclusive, any suggestions?”
“Well I actually have a few suggestions but you would have to let me know what you're interested in spending.”
“Let's dream a little, say price was no object, where would you go?”
“That’s easy I would definitely stay at a villa in Terres Basses - Baie Rouge in St. Martin.”
“Very interesting have you been there before?”
“I've never been but I've heard from a friend that is an amazing place to visit.”
“Okay I have to ask you Kevin how does this work? I mean, do I look at pictures and choose?” Kevin looked at Victoria and smiled. “No Victoria, I don’t have a staff, it’s mostly been me, but I do have someone in mind for you. I don't do this very often I have a few clients that I see on a regular basis.” And by few he meant one, the love of his life, she just didn’t know it yet, but she would soon, he thought as he conjured up images of Jacqueline. “This is only a small part of my life. As I told you before, I’m an accountant by trade, but running my business consumes all of my time. I actually had decided not to take on any new clients until I talked to Jacqueline. She convinced me that
