Duncan Montgomery knew what game Rachael was playing from the moment she stepped into the club. She didn’t know it but he was working undercover for a Belizean man searching for his granddaughter in Tarryton.
Duncan had been working for a small detective agency for the past few months. He just needed some life experience to help him write his book. Being a journalist had it’s down moments.
This was definitely not one of them. He spent the night dancing and partying with a hot red head and got paid for it.
Life was sweet.
It was even sweeter when she invited him back to her place. That wasn’t exactly part of the job but hey, who’s to know. The old guy was at deaths door last he heard. He’d be dead before he found out the “detective” he hired got a little on the job bonus.
But when they got to her house there was a small party going on. It seems her friend Kim was down and out because his girlfriend gave him the “put a ring on it” spiel and he didn’t. Of course Rachael’s way of making things better is to throw a party.
The scene was light when he got there but then when the guy started crying in his beer…
Let’s just say awkward.
Not wanting to witness another mans shame, Duncan left Rachael to comfort him and went to hide in the kitchen. Passing the bathroom he marveled at who would put a glass door on it. The black couple making out on the bathroom sink barely registered. Hey, it’s a Rachael party, one should expect that.
He thought he would be alone in the kitchen but it was already occupied. By the most beautiful ass he’s ever seen….
But then she turned around and smiled and whoa..
Cherry was embarrassed to be caught hiding out. She wasn’t the party girl type. She didn’t even know why she came. But it was Friday and she was home reading a cookbook! How seriously pathetic could you get.
The guy who just came into the kitchen was staring at her and she could feel herself turning red. Why was he staring at her?!
He seemed to figure out that he was making her uncomfortable and introduced himself.
They started light conversation and when he learned she was a chef he seemed fascinated. He said he loved to eat. Doesn’t everybody?
Not knowing what else to do she decided to make him something to eat. Rachael only served booze at her parties and to be honest, Cherry had been feeling peckish.
The two of them spent the rest of the party in the kitchen talking and eating Cherry’s Eggs Benedict, with a side a bacon. Rachael the fitness freak had bacon? Who knew. It was probably Margie’s.
The next night he asked her out on a date, and just like that, Cherry, the chubby, shy chef with a heart of gold stole a guy from the hot Latina redhead with the smoking body.
Now years later, Duncan and Cherry have 5 children. Logan is 19 and attending University, Taylor is 17 and about to head to Uni herself, Morgan and Jordan are 8 year old girl/boy twins. And Harrison is their 4 month old baby.
