Love's Vigilante

Chapter 1-1

CHAPTER 1

Taylor Aris and Becky Rand were on their way back to work after lunch. They had eaten in Andre’s because they received an employee discount for working in Avorn Security Building. They worked in Avorn Massage as Massage Therapists.

“I’m telling you, Becky, I have had it with love, and with men, who pretend to be in love with you one day and are with someone else before you can say scat,” said Taylor.

Becky shook her head. “You have just made bad choices. There are sure to be some decent men out there. We can’t give up. I don’t want to spend my life alone. I want a family.”

“When I have more time at home, I’ll get a cat. At least I’ll know if he is out tom catting around, it’s no reflection on me,” said Taylor.

“It’s no reflection on you, anyway. It a reflection on the guys you pick to be involved with,” said Becky.

Taylor glanced at Becky. “You haven’t had any better luck than I have,” she remarked.

Becky sighed. “I know, but I’m not ready to give up. My guardian angel told me to be patient and to quit trying so hard to find Mr. Right. She said Mr. Right Now won’t do,” said Becky, ending on a chuckle.

Taylor had to laugh with her as they entered Avorn Massage and prepared to return to work.

“Lucy Trent, their boss, was waiting for them at the front desk.

“Good, you’re back.” remarked Lucy, looking up and seeing the girls. “You each have a patient waiting for a massage. Taylor, your patient strained his shoulder in the gym. Becky, you have Mrs. Stall. She is here for her weekly massage.”

Taylor and Becky punched their time- cards and started for their designated rooms. It was the start of a busy afternoon.

Becky gave Taylor a thumbs up sign of encouragement as they parted to go to their separate rooms. Taylor shook her head, but she smiled back at Becky.

Taylor looked at the hunk laying face down on her massage table, and wondered if she could get Becky to switch patients with her. The last thing she needed was some good looking, half naked man to remind her of her loneliness and all she didn’t have. She shook her head. Lucy would never let them get away with switching. She would probably be by to check on them. She would be furious if they weren’t in the right rooms. She might as well get to work.
