of yourself, Jack! Mentally punching himself, he attempted to rein his thoughts in. I am so sorry God; I have never been tempted like this before. Shaking his head, he pulled up to Clarissa’s and saw she was already waiting for him on the front steps, her navy blue dress both demure and classy.
Jack son was around the car and opening the door for her before he realized he’d yet to greet her. “Hey Clarissa, you look very pretty tonight,” he said. She was pretty, a very pretty girl, and she’d gone through a lot in the recent past with the death of her parents. Tonight’s fundraiser was in honor of her parents and the foundation Clarissa had started to help children in the nearby hospitals cope with cancer.
The event tonight was slated to raise enough money to provide books, video games and other fun things for the young patients to occupy their time when they were in the hospitals all over the Los Angeles area. The James and Roberta Black Foundation was already well-known in California and many new hospitals were coming to Clarissa to request supplies, toys and games although it was still in the early stages of the foundation’s history.
Clarissa was the driving force behind the foundation, although you’d never know it with her calm and quiet demeanor. It was great to have someone care so deeply for the children. He wondered what Amanda’s story was, and if she’d ever had someone care so deeply for her.
Forget her, Jack. You are here for Clarissa tonight and you told God you were putting Amanda in his hands, so why are you trying to take her back?
“…think that might be a great idea,” Clarissa paused, studying Jackson’s face. “Jackson, what do you think about that?” Jackson realized he’d been completely ignoring Clarissa on the way to the fundraiser.
“Uh, I’m sorry, I didn’t get that last part, do you think you could repeat it?” Jack son bit the inside of his lip. The last thing he’d ever want to do would be to hurt Clarissa, but he was starting to wonder if they were right for each other.
She was a very sweet girl, a deeply devoted believer and follower of Christ and man, the girl could cook! Jackson’s extra few pounds around the middle were a testament to her cooking abilities, which is how her foundation had started. Simple cookies, handed out to children in a nearby hospital, and now look what was happening.
Jack son was so proud of Clarissa, and he often let her know it, but lately he’d been feeling like she liked him a whole lot more than he liked her. They’d known each other forever and had gotten even closer when her parents died, but there did not seem to be a real spark there with her, not like… Danger, Jack. Don’t get tripped up thinking about a woman you knew for less than 12 hours.
It was far more likely that he would never see Amanda again.
Amanda’s “date” was being a perfect gentleman so far. I could get use to this , she thought, sliding into the black BMW. Phil rounded the car and got in beside her, smiling nervously.
“I’ve never done this,” Phil said sheepishly. He started the car and made a u-turn before heading into traffic.
“You’ve never driven a car before?” Amanda joked with him. She knew what he’d meant and she took it in stride. Whether he had or he hadn’t, it didn’t matter to her, as long as the second half of her fee was collected at the end of the evening.
Phil laughed nervously. When they pulled up to the entrance of a fancy hotel twenty minutes later, she whistled. “Whoa, pulling out the big guns tonight, huh? What’s this for again?” She leaned forward, attempting to see the top of the building with all of its glitz and glamour.
“It’s a fundraiser for children with cancer,” Phil said. “The money ra ised tonight will help kids in the cancer wards get through their time there. It’s a fantastic organization, but I didn’t want to go stag.”
They waited in line for the valets to help them
