Love Restrained - Shyla Starr
Chapter One
ALEXA STARED at the bright white of the computer screen. It seemed to be mocking her with its very emptiness. She sighed. If she did not start on her freelance work soon, she would never get done. With a groan, she stood up and went to the kitchen for a cup of coffee. She decided to take a much-needed break before she started the workday. Alexa glanced at the clock. Already, it was approaching ten in the morning. Today was a waste. All she needed to do was research the keywords needed for a client's blog. That was it. Leaning back against the counter, she tried to refocus her mind on work. Nothing helped. Since her fling with William a month ago, she had been unable to focus on anything. It was amazing how one little date changed her entire outlook.
The ringing of the phone snapped her back to the present. Crossing the room, she picked it up and answered. The number was not familiar, but many of the clients she used called her on this line. It may be important or it may be a spammer. In her line of work, either option was just as likely.
Hello?
she asked. Alexandria Enterprise. How may I direct your call?
She heard a laugh on the other end of the line and Alexa groaned. It was her mother. Now don't you Alexandria me, young lady. I gave birth to you and I know as well as anybody that you are no Alexandria.
Alexa rolled her eyes. Lively and domineering, her mother was a veritable force of nature. Alexa named her company Alexandria as a reference to the old libraries that burned in Alexandria. The metaphor was lost on her mother, however. Yes, Mama, I know. Ten hours of labor and what did you get?
A daughter who puts on airs,
her mother finished.
Alexa sighed. So what is it this time, Mama? You fixing me up with Sammy again? He's gay, you know. Just because you and his mom don't believe it...
she trailed off. It was useless arguing. Her mother noticed Alexa's lack of a love life and spent the last month trying to fix her up with men from the neighborhood. Alexa groaned. Men. No, the men of the neighborhood were snatched up a long time ago. What remained was a mix of boys who could never compete. The only person she even considered dating was Sammy, but he had other interests that did not involve slender hips and voluptuous breasts.
No, no, Alexa. I won't be fixing you up with anyone this time. I just want to see you every once in a while. Dinner with me tonight? I'll cook your favorite... fried chicken.
Sighing, Alexa nodded. She realized that her mother couldn't see her nod, so she replied, "Sure, Mama. That's fine. I'll see you around
