involved and hoping to make things work with Kent.
Diamond athletics had picked up the contract for his team and she was one of the trainers assigned to help the athletes take care of their bodies. Sedric was just a very rich plus on the side at that moment, and then when she decided to set her sights only for him she realized how much work it would be to get to that ultimate goal of having his ring on her finger. When he told her about the trip home she of course expected the invitation to join him but when it didn’t come she set her mind on the next step. Guilt it was going to be her saving grace making him feel bad about leaving her behind when she was so good to him. Life was going to be what she made it at least that was what she had been taught her entire life so she made her won luck and digging in with Sedric was the way to what she wanted or at least that was what she thought.
But then the call last night and him basically ending everything shook her up cut her off at the knees but mostly angered her. So she now had plans, plans she was sure to get him back in her corner and get her back on track to that ultimate goal. It was not a secret between the two of them that he had become uncomfortable with their relationship and was leaning toward that step but she had held off the actual act with tempting him physically. Lately the temptation wasn’t the same and fear was a huge part of every conversation with him since she didn’t have that ace in the whole. And now he was thousands of miles away so of course that trick was not going to work. But a trick would have to be what was up her sleeve since she was sure in Sedric’ mind they were done and there was nothing else to discuss on the matter.
‘Look I don’t want to waste time talking about him now let’s go I need a drink…or five it’s been a long day.’
