Renzo (The Ciprianos of Kellington) (17 page)

He
smiled walking out of the room, locking the door behind him as he made his way
down the hall.

“Hello
son, where’s Jaslyn?” asked Filomena when she came to his side at the buffet
table.

“Her
back was bothering her. I gave her a rub down and she’s lying down. I’m
bringing her something to eat and drink.”

“Bless
her heart. I hope she starts to feel better.”

“I
rubbed her down good, so she should be feeling better once she eats a little
and gets some sleep. I’m going to stay with her for the rest of the night.”

Nodding,
she left her son and walked through the crowd, talking with some of the guests.
She saw both Gianni and Federico talking with women who had crowded around
them. She shook her head at the commotion these women were making in front of
her boys. She looked around to locate Simone. She found him nursing champagne,
looking forlorn. Excusing herself from the group, she walked over to where he
was leaning up against a column. “Are you all right, Simone darling?”

He
didn’t say a word. He looked like he was in a trance as if she wasn’t even
there. His eyes had been staring at someone on the dance floor and when she saw
who it was, she couldn’t believe who he was staring at so longingly.

About the Author

Born in Jamaica Queens New York,
Jamallah
Bergman eventually moved around from New York to Alabama and eventually
settling down in Georgia with her family and spending part of her childhood in
Roswell Georgia.

Jamallah
started to first
write when she was just 12, writing scripts for her dolls and as she got older
her stories grew along with her.

She eventually read her first romance novel when she
was 15 and became hooked and started to write about romance. It wasn't until
she got older when she started to write about erotica as well.

Jamallah
had started to
notice that whenever she would read the stories that she loved, she never could
understand why the heroines in the stories were nothing like herself. None of
the women were full figured or plump or what she would sometimes think of
herself (to coin the phrase from
Mo'Nique
) a
"Thick Madame". It would often upset her that she could never find a
story where the main character was a full figured woman who finds love with a
handsome man.

Soon
Jamallah
started to
write stories where the full figured woman ALWAYS got her man!
Jamallah
Bergman's main goal in her writing is to
appeal to the woman who despite what society might think of her and even though
she might have some sort of self-doubt about herself, deep down she is strong
woman who can do just about anything she sets her mind to.

Jamallah
Bergman still
resides in Georgia and lives in Atlanta with her teenage daughter
Jamira
Anna Marie, who gets her artistic side from her
mother by drawing and making movies.
