avid learner. Schooling was the only thing Felicia felt she had control over for such a long time that she excelled at it and her jobs.

Felicia’s first day filling in as a lead designer ended great! She and Jenna would pretty much be in the field for the rest of the week seeing to the Livingston’s, Heyworth’s and Smith’s renovations. Wanting to get a little more work done tonight, Felicia elected to pick up dinner rather than cook. They would have been having leftovers but as usual, she was two-hundred percent sure David had ate them for breakfast. Whatever was left from that he would’ve packed up for work. The last thing he would do is spend his own hard earned money on food.
Deciding at the last moment that a salad would go nicely with the frozen fifteen minute chicken pasta meal she planned to cook, she headed over to the produce section. It was Dana’s favorite meal so she couldn’t go wrong. Felicia was focused so intently on the tomato she had in her hand, she didn’t see Harrison Kincaid stalking his way towards her. It was just his luck to run into Felicia. He had woken up this morning with her…well in his dreams he had been with her.
Felicia Montgomery made Harrison’s blood boil even while simply inspecting a piece of fruit. Harrison for the first time sympathized with Adam. Just as surely as his name was Harrison Kincaid, he knew if Felicia held an apple up for him to bite, he’d do so without a second thought.
Harrison could see she must be coming straight from the office. Felicia was nowhere near skinny, which is what drove Harrison wild. She had curves that would make Kim K appear anorexic. After spending many nights fantasizing about them, Harrison had finally determined that Felicia’s breasts had to be about a 40/42DD. Her perfect shape was accentuated with a small waist and hips for days. And her smile…she had a genuine innocent smile that made Harrison feel warm all over. That’s just how he was feeling now that she’d spotted him approaching.
Harrison tried his hardest to place a smile on his face to take away from the seriousness he knew he was exuding. Walking with a hard on had a way of changing one’s temperament. Quickly.
Felicia had begun to feel as if someone was watching her, looking around her, her eyes connected with Harrison Kincaid’s blue tinted grey eyes. She was stuck, unable to break the eye contact. And if she was being truthful with herself, she didn’t want to. Her pulse had quickened and was now pulsing triple time. She felt her face automatically break out in a smile as it always did when she saw her best friends’ brother. Emma and Felicia hadn’t talked since Felicia had been pregnant with Elena.
Whether or not Felicia could see or feel it, she was loved by many. David had caused her to lose out on so much over the years. Not just friendships. Those who were still around chose to love her from afar. She was always grateful Harrison has never treated her any differently than before she and Emma were on the outs. Felicia didn’t know what she would do if she couldn’t take her 99’ Accord to one of his many shops. Whether or not he knew it, Harrison had been her savior a few times over.
When she’d first purchased her house seven years ago her car had broken down that first week after she’d moved in. Praying it was a battery or the alternator she’d called Kincaid’s and had the car towed in. Turned out she needed a new transmission. There was no way she could afford that after she’d just put all her savings down on her house. Harrison seeing the turmoil and desperation in her gaze had told her not to worry about settling up the bill when the repairs were done. She could pay him when she was able.
Felicia balked at this of course, preparing herself to call her father and ask him for the funds David wasn’t even an option, there was no way he would be willing to pay for it. Harrison wouldn’t hear of her calling Jacob
