      Lost but Not Forgotten - Sheria Freeman

      Prologue

      Atlanta, GA.

      Marcus and Marlisa were children when they first met. Although, Marcus does not remember her, she remembers him all too well. When they first met she went by another name, so that may be the reason he doesn’t remember her. Marcus moved to Jacksonville, FL to try and escape his past or find a means to an end. He was determined to find out the truth about what really happened to his parents years ago. There he saw Marlisa for the first time so he thought. He never knew his life was about to change forever. He always watched her in passing not knowing that she was there to protect him not only from himself but others as well. When finally they met it was at Nelly’s on Kings Road next to Dr. Anderson’s office. It was raining that day. Although they came there separately the both tried to wait for the rain to stop. Marlisa got up to leave first and Marcus followed behind her, because he noticed she didn’t have an umbrella. He knew that was his sign, he had to make her his. To later find it was their family’s ultimate plan from the beginning. For the both of them to meet and reconnect so he knows he may have been lost but never forgotten.

      Chapter 1

      Their First Encounter

      Marlisa is a beautiful woman, whom he had to meet. Marcus told himself he was not ready to settle down, but there was something about her that made his heart ship a beat. Within the first month of his moving to Jacksonville, FL he has seen her nearly 10 times by now. He could never find the nerve or courage to walk up to her and introduce himself. Marcus is 511 with a smooth dark complexion. He works out 2 to 3 hours a day to keep his body and six pack in perfect shape. He keeps up with current fashion by having his curly locks close cut and his face clean shaved. Which a lot of women say brings out his almond-shaped piercing green eyes. Some say he looks like someone you would see in the soap operas, but he has the hardest time meeting women. He’s a private investigator by trade, single by choice! The thought of settling down never really crossed his mind, but ever since he has set eyes on her. However, because of certain circumstances he’s been having second thoughts. His profession is the only thing that makes him continue to feel this way. He has a very dangerous job and would not want his profession to interfere with his relationship. In his mind both of these commitments would be both night and day priorities. Now on the other hand Marlisa is 5 6.5 she has a tiny waist, thick hips and an ass that most women envy. Although, in the summer months she keeps her hair tied up, Marcus can only imagine the length and its true color. He’s gotten considerably close to her to notice her eyes, are a brilliant shade of green. Unlike, his complexion, her skin tone is remarkably lighter; she may even be a mixed race. When she reaches the door of Nelly’s (a local bar) to leave she notices it’s still raining outside. Marcus gets up right after her, he’s holding up an umbrella and offers to walk her to her car. She thanked him for being so polite, as they walked towards her car; she suddenly noticed a midnight blue Lexus with its lights still on parked just a row behind her. She insisted they must return to let the individual know their car lights were left on in the mist of everything. Marcus said, There’s no need to the car belongs to me. I tell you I’m having the worse day imaginable to man. Why do you say that? That question already forgotten she offers to drive him to his car and stay until he gets it started, but he had no such luck. She asked do you have anyone you can call or do you need a ride home? He responded no unfortunately I am new in town and I don’t know anyone. Well you know me now. Well would you like a ride? Where’s home? The Adams Mark Hotel downtown, you know it? You’re kidding right? No, why would I be? Being that I’m into Real Estate a lot of my clients live there until they find their dream house. Most just end up having one built, or at least one they can afford. Amongst all the confusion I never asked your name. Oh I’m sorry how rude of me. I’m Marlisa Fairchild, and I’m Marcus Jones. It’s a pleasure to meet you Ms. Fairchild. No please I insist you call me Marlisa. Well now that we have gotten the introductions out the way, I’d like to tell you I’ve only been in Jacksonville a little over a month. I moved here from Atlanta, Ga. And I haven’t found a place yet. So what brings you here? I’m here because of my job and life, amongst other things. Oh I see, well Marcus were just going to have to change all that as you know I’m in real estate and I just so happen to be a broker. I can help you find a house if you would like. I also own a couple of houses myself if that helps. Your properties, Yes my properties is that a problem? No not at all. But I have a question for you, would you consider yourself a handy man? I’d like to think so why? I could use a strong man around the house such as you. Are you interested? That will all depend on what I should be interested in. Well I have a considerably large house in Queens Harbor off of Atlantic Blvd. I live there alone. The house I live in has 9 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. It needs some outside work done to the yard, furniture moved etc. I would let you have one of the extra rooms plus complete access to everything, such as meals the pool in exchange for your help. I was planning on hiring someone. I just haven’t been able to find someone I can trust. Well how do you know you can trust me? I consider myself a good judge of character when it comes to people. That’s if you don’t mind helping out a poor little old lady like me. Just allow me to gather my things and then we can go. Well let me help you. You don’t have to do that. I know I don’t but if I do we can leave faster. I’ve had such a long day I’m tired and all I want to do is take a long hot bath and get into my bed. And plus just because I’m a female doesn’t make me helpless and fragile. Fine, then it’s settled I’ll help you gather your things. On the ride home, he asked what brought
