window of the plane. “ You remember when Mom
used to say, ‘ you will know when
the right woman comes along. ‘ And we would ask,
how? Then she would say, ‘ you just
will ’ . ”
    “Yeah, I never
understood that answer, ” Eric
laughed.
    “I
didn ’ t then either, but I do now. ” A knowing smile
appeared on his face, “ Her name is TeKaya
Kendrick, they call her TK. I met her at the concert you gave in
Richmond. Eric, this woman is so beautiful I knew she had to be a
model, actress, or somebody trying to make it in the business. I
tried to keep my distance, but something about her kept drawing me
to her. When we went back to the hotel, I was given the name of the
photographer and it was her. You met her. Remember the woman we
took pictures with on the balcony before you went to your
room? ”
    “I do remember
her, she was stunning. ”
    “Yes, she is,
and intelligent. More importantly, she is real and has no interest
in being in front of the camera. ” He stated shaking
his head in disbelief. “ I
don ’ t know how, but I ’ m going to make her
mine. Whatever it takes, she will be mine. ”
    “What are you
going to do with the woman that lives with you; the mother of your
child? ”
    Dropping his
head, he shook it, “ I
don ’ t know. When I moved Latoya in, I truly believed it
was in Sierra ’ s best interest. You
know how badly I wanted my baby girl with me. But, these antics
that Latoya keeps pulling are getting ridiculous. Most of the time
I welcome the disappearing acts she pulls, but the arguments and
fighting with other women over me is getting crazy. I
don ’ t want Sierra around that type of
atmosphere. ”
    “Have you given
any thought to what Mom suggested? ”
    “Moving out?
Nah, I can ’ t leave
Sierra. ”
    “Then, out of
curiosity, big brother, why are you going to bring this other woman
into this situation when you already know how Latoya is going to
react? ”
    Jason
sighed, “ It ’ s something about
this woman that I can ’ t ignore.
She ’ s calling out to me and I can ’ t say
no. ”
    “That ’ s deep from a man who
doesn ’ t believe in commitment to one
woman. ”
    “Yeah. The
other night I was with Brandy, one of the background vocalists for
Kenny, I could not get into her. TeKaya kept slipping into my mind.
After an hour or so, I just gave up, came home, and called her. We
talked through the night and I slept like a
baby. ” He sat back in his seat and sighed. “ For the past two weeks my mind has been consumed with a
woman and I can ’ t do a damn thing
about it. ”
    Eric sat back
in his seat and sighed with his own thoughts of a woman. “ I know exactly what you mean. ”
     

Chapter 4
    Jason and
TeKaya
    T he car service
arrived precisely at 6:15 p.m. to transport TK to
Seducci ó ns, a private restaurant located near the Canal
Walk in downtown Richmond. The 12th floor where the restaurant was
located was circular, with a glass elevator that traveled though
the center of the building. Once the doors opened, the maitre
d ’ greeted the guest and asked their names. As the couple
in front of her responded, TK looked around and immediately wished
she had brought her camera to capture the exquisite view from the
windows.
    As the couple
was taken to their table, behind the area where the maitre
d ’ station stood, another maitre d ’ greeted
her. “ Mademoiselle, may I help you? ”
    “Yes, thank
you. I am meeting Jason Davies. ”
    “Ah,
Mademoiselle Kendrick, ” he
smiled.
    “Yes, ” she returned his smile.
    “Right this
way. ” The maitre d ’ took her behind the
elevator area to a smaller, and as hard as it was to believe, more
beautiful room than the exterior. The combination of the soft gold
lighting, the mellow music, and the skyline of downtown Richmond as
a backdrop, created a sensuous mood in the room. In the middle of
the room was a water fountain with a statue in the center of a
couple lovingly embracing. Tables were stationed in each
