Kofi Siriboe as Marcel Stone

You as Selena Williams

"You need to go on a date." Selena's coworker, Megan, said sitting on top of her wooden desk.

"Would you stop being so loud, damn. The whole office about to hear that I'm single." She responded shuting the door and adjusting the white blinds.

Selena Williams was a successful black woman. At the age of thirty-five, she'd never been able to believe she had her own magazine company for plus size women. Her magazine, PLUS, was sold everywhere. Selena had everything: money, clothes, and cars except a man.

"I can set you up with someone."

Selena glared at her, "Girl! Hell no. Stop trying to play matchmaker. God will provide me with a man."

"You've been saying God gone handle it for the past five years. I want nieces and nephews!" Megan abruptly said turning Selena's stomach at the mention of kids.

Her baby clock was ticking. Her age clock was ticking. And time was definitely ticking. Taunting her while she sat and waited for God to provide for her like he always did. Furrowing her eyebrows Selena thought about it.

"Fine. Set me up. But this is only a one-time thing. If something goes wrong I'm texting you to come to get me." Selena gruffly admitted while Megan shrieked and reached for her phone.

Megan looked at her dress disgusted, "Please tell me you are not wearing that!?"

Selena scoffed, "Bitch! It's comfortable and doesn't show too much skin."

"No. That's the problem." Megan responded and stepped into Selena's walk-in closet.

A few hours later, Selena was dressed in a soft baby pink dress. It's long and soft material hugged her curves and accentuated her hips. Her long brown legs sparkled from the baby oil and looked longer from the slit in the dress. Selena's natural hair was in a puff and her nude lips looked more than kissable. She was ready.

"Oh my Jesus. I'm gonna cry. Time just flies and children grown-up-"

"Cut it out." Selena giggled at her best friend's antics.

Selena stepped out of her black beamer. After handing the keys to the valet she walked inside the Italian restaurant. Soft music played in the background as she looked around for the mystery man.

"Excuse me miss?" A raspy bu angelic voice asked behind her.

She spun around and her heart stopped. A beautiful chocolate man stood in front of her staring into her eyes. He was dressed in an all-black suit with a small silver chain hanging from around his neck.

"Is your name Selena Williams?" He asked her again making Selena stop staring at the man.

"Yes. It's nice to meet you." She held out her hand.

"Marcel Stone. The pleasure is all mine." He said raising her hand to his lips to kiss her knuckles.

The two sat at the dinner table of the restaurant looking at the menu. Selena's eyes couldn't stay still. She peeked over the menu to stare at Marcel Stone. He seemed like everything she wanted in a man.

It was about to be a long night.

Authors Note:
