The Pastor's Heart by Desiree Future

free herself from Kingston who refused to let her go.   “Everyone who I have ever loved left me.”
    Sinclair had been through enough heart ache and pai n to last her an eternity and there was no way she was going to get hurt again.  She intended to keep guarding her heart as she had for some many years, but the more she was with Kingston the harder it became.
    “It ’s okay Sinclair, I understand.  But just to let you know I am not the man who broke your heart.  Nor am I the man who is going to run away from a beautiful woman who is afraid of love.  However, I am the man who is going to show you what real unconditional love is.  Now you can push me all you want but I am not going anywhere.”  Kingston said staring Sinclair right in her eyes.
    “Is that so?” Sinclair asked , sounding skeptical.
    “Yes, that’s so.” Kingston countered her while still staring down at her .
    “We’ll see about that,” Sinclair replied with hesitation in her voice.
    “We surely will.  Now I would love for you to be my date for the annual Giving Back Gala.  It’s a black tie affair where men have to wear tuxedos and women gowns.  The gala raises money for several different charities that give back to the community.  My parents will be there and I would really like you to meet them.” Kingston was praying Sinclair would agree because he really wanted his parents to meet her. 
    “I would love to be your date at the Gala.”  Sinclair batted her eyes at Kingston feeling a little more at eased now.
    “Thank you,” Kingston answered as he loosened his grip on Sinclair.
      “By the way, you have some nice moves.  I didn’t know pastors can dance.”  Sinclair was definitely enjoying her time slow dancing with Kingston.  It was nice and he smelled good too.
    “I got it from watching my parents cut a rug as they say.”  Kingston replied as they continued to dance to their own music in their heads.  “If you like that then you’ll love this.” Kingston took Sinclair and twirled her around and dipped her leaving her simply stunned.

    The old back storage room where she once slept had now become an oversized walk in storage closet.   It was complete with movable shelves and pull out rolling storage drawers.  There everything was kept from clothes to shoes, to personal hygiene items as well as brochures for her clients.  The larger back room where all the books were stored had now become a small kitchenette.  It was complete with a microwave and full sized refrigerator tucked in the corner near the back door.
    “Thank God I don’t have errands to run today.”  Sinclair said a she shook off her umbrella w hen she walked into her agency.  “It’s pouring cats and dogs out there.”
    “Morning Sinclair,” chimed her assistant Sasha and staffer Oliver.
    “Morning, everyone, I hope everyone’s weekend was great.”  Sinclair said while taking off her hat and placing it and her umbrella on the stand.
    “It was nice,” Oliver replied while grab bing a mint from the candy jar.
    “Sasha , can you give me the rundown of our calendar?” Sinclair asked as they made their way to the table.
    With her notepad in hand Sasha began.  “Today you have a ten o’clock with Mr. Dunbar who wants to speak to you regarding the repairs to the basement.”
    “That’s great because I would like to fix it up and use the space for more storage,” Sinclair said to Robyn.
    “At eleven o’clock we have several clients coming in that need our help,” Sasha explained as she checked the items off her list.
    “I believe one of the women is also pregnant.”  Oliver added to the conversation.
    “That’s not a problem at all.  Please put in a few extra large shirts and pants with an elastic waist in her bag when you pack it.  That way the baby can have room to grow.
