Chapter Three “Drunk in Love” O f course, Karen got too drunk to drive and Evelyn had to take the wheel. John practically carried her to the car as she sang a loud, slurred re-indention of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun . A group of inebriated men and women cheered her on and requested an encore. They were either totally wasted, stoned or suckers for punishment. Evelyn slid behind the wheel and let out an annoyed growl. She would have to spend the night at her sister’s place, which she didn’t want to do. She longed for home and her own bed. She never should have let Karen talk her into going out. It usually ended badly. At least this time, she hadn’t had to pepper spray anyone. She had attached the vial of mace onto her keychain just in case, though. Karen and her new friend, John, sat in the back seat so they could make out as she drove. She turned on the music to drown out their drunk in love slurps, moans and giggles. The two sucked face all the way until they

Chapter Two “Alone In A Room Full Of People” Evelyn tried to enjoy herself, but she just couldn’t. The smoke-filled club was packed with a mob of excited club-goers dancing to the latest hip-hop tunes blasting out of the loud speakers. She wanted to loosen up and have fun, but she kept thinking that everyone was talking about her. Even though she’d dressed conservatively in an all-black pants suit – because black was supposed to make you look thinner – she still felt fat and unattractive. Whenever a guy made eye contact with her, she’d drop her head and look away. So of course no one asked her to dance. Karen, on the other hand, was dancing the night away with a tall, handsome, Greek god of a man. She’d introduced him as John, and they’d headed for the dance floor and hadn’t come off in the hour they’d been in the club. At first, she’d watched them in envy, but once the floor became too crowded, she’d lost sight of them. Evelyn loudly slurped down the last of the Mim

Evelyn Williams has always been overweight. Even now, she still has a problem keeping the weight off. When she decides to take pole dancing for fitness, she never expects a man to train her.  Evelyn’s instructor is Terrell Wertz. Terrell is gorgeous and fit. It's obvious that he's out of Evelyn's league. Furthermore, he probably wouldn't even look twice at a big chick like her, which makes her even more determined to lose the extra pounds. Terrell is enticed by the pretty-faced, thick chick he has to train. He can tell she has a low self-esteem and probably thinks guys like him wouldn't go for girls like her. She couldn't be more wrong. He wasn't always drop-dead gorgeous and muscular. Can he teach Evelyn about loving herself even at her current size? Chapter One “Like I’m Invisible” E velyn Williams lowered her head, letting her long, dark hair hide most of her face as she slinked out of the half-empty break room. Even tho
