When Zack met Angelica he couldn't believe his eyes, it was love at first sight. After one glance he could hardly breathe, he felt like God was trying to tell him something. She instantly lit up the area and he couldn't help but to strategically stare, making sure not to get caught. She looked beautifully mysterious to him like a puzzle he wanted to continually take apart and put back together again. He was pumping gas into his nice car when she pulled up and seemed to get out of her car in slow motion. It seemed like there was no one else in the world to him, just the two of them. She had this frustration on her face and he wanted to find out why and what he could do to keep a smile on it. She was beautiful, her light brown chocolate skin looked delicious to him. She was slim fit, 5'0, and wasn't lacking in the booty department. He studied her curves for as long as he needed to know that that's what he wanted.

Snapping back into reality he quickly realized as she started to pump her gas that he was running out of time to talk to her. The nervous Zach knew that if he didn't make a move fast it was a chance that he may never see her again. Not mentally able to risk it he gave himself a lil pep talk and worked up the courage to approach her. Taking a deep breath he walked over to where she was, being sure to leave just enough distance between them to not seem creepy.... He got close enough to smell her natural scents, he also could smell pain and regret in her aired out sweat. He wanted her to take a bubble bath right away while he massages her feet, feed her grapes, and serve her wine over candle lights and rose peddles. After her grapes and foot massages he would just leave her there fighting the urge to jump into a big bowl of his wifey soup to give her what she needs.

He knew for sure that she was a Queen and how to make her know it everyday. He was passionate but so was was she and he could tell, it was just something about her that made him vulnerable and he couldn't stand it! She was wearing respectfully revealing workout out clothing, showing off her curves and athletic physic. Admiring the fact that she was obviously exercising not by her tights, sports bra, and crop sweater, but by her completely toned body, impressive abs, and perfectly round butt. He took a more settle breath this time and said while reaching his hand out for a hand shake "Hi, I'm Zack and I think you're stunning. What's your name?"... Secretly shy and shocked at how handsome he was, Angelica replied while accepting his hand shake with a smile, "Hi, Zach I'm Angelica...thank you and nice to meet you". Then nervously she proceeded to finishing with her gas pump trying not to melt over his amazing cologne that hit her nose instantly making her knees weak.

She wanted badly to avoid eye contact because she felt like she didn't look or smell her best given that she just left the gym. She had been sweating and wasn't in the mood to converse with anyone. She simply just wanted to gas up her car so she wouldn't have to do it in the morning and go home after a challenging workout. But every time she would shoot down a guy she always made sure to not be a bitch about it, after all the guy obviously was confident enough to approach her. Most guys are to intimidated, shy, or simply didn't have the balls to even look at Angelica for to long. It was no doubt that she was gorgeous and guys knew it, they preyed on her. Glad to hear the politeness in her voice, Zach could tell she had walls built and was pleased to see her flaws, he thought they showed character. After all she was undeniably beautiful even when she wasn't trying, he continued "You're so striking to me, I just cannot leave this gas station without having some way to contact you. ". Laughing while blushing she couldn't help but to be somewhat impressed by his carisma.

Quickly she reminded herself that she couldn't make it easy for him because it wasn't in her nature. After all she was kinda on the fence because after being treated like a dormant by so many guys in her past she reminded herself about her vow to focus on God, herself, and goals. She didn't truly trust herself to be in a relationship at the time. For so long she seemed to not be able to stop disappointing herself time and time again with the guys she let into her beautiful world, but thankfully she was always careful and aware...at least that's what she told herself....With her game face on she politely replied, " Thanks, but sorry this isn't a good time for guys to be contacting me right now."! Zach saw right through the tough exterior she tried desperately to put up but failed miserably at achieving. He replied instantly taken aback, not used to being turned down, "Why?" "Please don't tell me that you're engaged or married, but I definitely don't see a ring on your finger soo....". She replied back "No, I'm just not interested. I can't risk my time and energy being waisted...".

Zach knew that he would rather reciprocate her energy and fulfill her time with positivity and motivation. What she was saying was everything he needed to know about her for the remaining of the conversation.. He knew how to somehow assure a woman like her that she wouldn't regret letting him in and what direction to go... Finding the slight attitude quite sexy he replied confidently with a arrogant smirk. "Look. I'm going to just cut right to the chase...I want to know who you are and I know you should give me a chance, but I understand if you're scared." When he said that she noticed that his eyes and revealing body language showed her things only her psychological mind would pick up on. His eyes had an innocence about them that revealed a story she wanted to read for the rest of her life. His masculine body gave off aggression yet he still somehow looked like a teddy bear to her. He was much taller than her with reasonably big muscular arms slightly popping out of his short sleeve shirt, they had interesting tattoos on them she wanted to know all about....

Suddenly time was still and they just took a moment to study one another. Obviously feeling the connection Angelica replied softly hoping to be more clever. This wasn't easy for her because she hadn't flirted let alone talked to guys for months. All she had was defense mechanism, but somehow she was confident that he knew that..."Look you're handsome and all, but..." He quickly cut her off! "You think I'm handsome?", he said assertively while stepping a lil closer towards her. Closer yet still too far away she gave him a thorough examination and realized where she was and looked at his incredibly handsome face and couldn't resist him. She had always been a good judge of character when it came to people. She could since warning signs of harm and she knew he was harmless, she found comfort in that. She wanted to flirt back with him. Interested in what he may say next. She quickly thought of something, she said scared to death..."Yes. I do, but it doesn't matter.". He replied, this time taking the conversation more seriously, determined to gain control, "It does, because I want you to have dinner with me as soon as possible before another guy gets to you."

Angelica remembered she couldn't risk dating someone one at this time, she had to be careful. She wasn't ready for a guy with such a powerful presence like Zach's. After her breakup that happened a year ago Angelica ran into a few guys she claimed to not care about, and never could fall in love with. She knew they didn't deserve her and wasn't on her maturity level. But Zach was different and she wanted to know what made him different. She could tell he wasn't taking no for an answer, he wanted her. With his now sexy and confident voice touching her body she needed to know more... Looking up at Zach smiling at the sight of her pretending to not be interested in him, Angelica didn't know if he was what she needed. Fortunately for her though he knew he had what it took to please her. Angelica standing there nervously knew she had a choice to make and her window of opportunity was closing so she gave in and gave him her number...

All of that and they just met, they both were starving for more...
